Abstract

Introduction: Teenage pregnancy is a global phenomenon with well-established causes and serious health, social, and economic consequences for individuals, families, and communities. Pregnancy at a very young age correlates with higher maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality rates. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design with a simple random sampling technique. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test, while multivariate analysis used logistic regression. Results: The chi-square test results showed p-values for education (0.875), occupation (0.075), knowledge (0.279), culture (0.026), and parenting style (0.039). Logistic regression analysis revealed that cultural factors had a significance value of 0.020 with an odds ratio (OR) of 6.072, while parenting style had a significance value of 0.047 with an OR of 2.223. Conclusion: Cultural factors are six times more likely to influence early pregnancy compared to parenting style, which increases the risk twofold. Culture plays a dominant role in early marriage and teenage pregnancy due to the persistence of traditional and social norms, particularly in rural communities.

Abstract

Introduction: Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, alongside hemorrhage and infection. Early diagnosis of preeclampsia, which is a precursor to eclampsia, is essential to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates. Globally, preeclampsia remains a major contributor to illness and death among mothers and infants, as it is associated with various complications affecting both the mother and the newborn. Methods: This study employed a quantitative research design using a descriptive correlational approach with a cross-sectional method to determine the relationship between birth spacing, history of preeclampsia, self-motivation, social support, and antenatal care (ANC) compliance with the risk of preeclampsia. The sampling technique used total sampling, with 90 respondents included. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: The results showed that the variable birth spacing had a p-value of 0.133, indicating no significant relationship with the risk of preeclampsia. The history of preeclampsia variable had a p-value of 0.000, showing a significant association with preeclampsia risk. The motivation variable had a p-value of 0.441, suggesting no significant relationship with preeclampsia risk. The social support variable had a p-value of 0.345, indicating no significant relationship with preeclampsia risk. The ANC compliance variable had a p-value of 0.528 (> 0.05), showing no significant effect on preeclampsia risk. Conclusion: Mothers with a previous history of preeclampsia are at an increased risk of recurrent preeclampsia. Therefore, it is essential for these mothers to undertake preventive measures and receive regular medical monitoring to minimize potential complications.

Abstract

Introduction: Cataracts remain the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness among older adults in Indonesia. Family support plays a critical role in motivating elderly patients to undergo cataract surgery. This study aimed to examine the relationship between family support and motivation for cataract surgery among older adults at the Ophthalmology Clinic of Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang Hospital (RSU UMM). Methods: A descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The study population consisted of cataract patients aged ≥60 years, selected using purposive sampling, with a total of 40 respondents. Data on family support and motivation were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation. Results: The results showed that 97.5% of respondents received high family support, and 92.5% exhibited high motivation to undergo surgery. Spearman correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between family support and motivation for cataract surgery (r = 0.562, p < 0.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that higher family support is associated with increased motivation for cataract surgery in older adults. Nursing and healthcare interventions should involve family members to enhance patient motivation and ensure successful surgical outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic has affected not only physical health but also the psychological well-being and quality of life of older adults. Anxiety related to health risks, social isolation, and economic uncertainty has become increasingly prevalent among the elderly population. This study aimed to determine the relationship between anxiety levels and quality of life among older adults during the Covid-19 pandemic in Dusun Karang Menjangan, Bulurejo Village, Tempursari District. Methods: A quantitative analytic observational design was used, involving 62 elderly respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires to measure anxiety levels and quality of life. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman’s rho correlation test to assess the relationship between anxiety and quality of life variables. Results: Findings indicated that most respondents experienced moderate anxiety (92%) and reported a moderate quality of life (87%) during the pandemic. The correlation test showed no significant relationship between anxiety and quality of life (p = 0.251; r = -0.148). The negative correlation value indicated an inverse but weak relationship, suggesting that higher anxiety levels tended to be associated with lower quality of life, although not statistically significant. Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between anxiety and quality of life among older adults during the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite this, the high prevalence of moderate anxiety highlights the importance of continuous psychosocial support, family involvement, and community-based interventions to maintain the mental and emotional well-being of the elderly.

Abstract

Introduction: Academic stress is a common psychological condition among nursing students, often resulting from heavy academic workloads, time pressure, and high performance expectations. Prolonged academic stress may negatively affect students’ physical and mental health, particularly their sleep quality, which plays a vital role in cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. This study aimed to determine the relationship between academic stress and sleep quality among Nursing Science students. Methods: This research employed an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of undergraduate Nursing Science students, with samples obtained through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires measuring academic stress levels and sleep quality. The data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test to identify the relationship between variables. Results: The findings revealed that most respondents experienced moderate to high levels of academic stress and poor sleep quality. Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between academic stress and sleep quality (p < 0.05), indicating that students with higher academic stress levels were more likely to experience poor sleep quality. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between academic stress and sleep quality among nursing students. Increased academic stress contributes to disrupted sleep patterns through both physiological and psychological mechanisms. Universities are encouraged to implement stress management programs, promote time management training, and provide mental health support services to enhance students’ well-being and academic performance.

Abstract

Introduction: Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty in initiating or maintaining sleep despite having the opportunity to rest. This condition can lead to disturbances in daytime activities, fatigue, and frequent awakenings during the night. Furthermore, insomnia can have negative effects on health, such as increasing the risk of heart disease, metabolic disorders, cognitive decline, and even mortality. Adolescents are among those at risk of experiencing insomnia, as individuals generally require about 8–10 hours of sleep each night. However, this duration is often reduced due to busy school schedules and social activities, which can trigger sleep disorders such as insomnia. One non-pharmacological approach to overcoming insomnia is foot hydrotherapy using pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of pandan leaf foot hydrotherapy on insomnia among adolescents. Methods: This research used a quantitative with a one-group pretest- posttest design. The population consisted of 93 adolescents experiencing insomnia at Jembrana, Indonesia. The sampling technique used in this study was convenience sampling. The instruments used included a demographic data sheet and the Jakarta Insomnia Rating Scale (KSPBJ-IRS) questionnaire. Results: The data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and the results showed a p-value of < 0.001 before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that foot hydrotherapy using pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius) has an effect on reducing insomnia in adolescents.

Abstract

Introduction: Child marriage (early marriage) refers to a marital union in which one or both partners are still categorized as children or adolescents under the age of 19 years. Child marriage can lead to negative consequences for both physical and psychological health. Considering that adolescents are digital natives, the utilization of mobile health technology offers a relevant, interactive, and easily accessible educational solution. This study aimed to examine the effect of mobile health–based education on adolescent girls’ knowledge of child marriage. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 43 adolescent girls selected using stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Results: Prior to the health education intervention, most adolescent girls demonstrated a low level of knowledge, with 40 respondents (93.02%). After receiving mobile health–based education, the majority showed a good level of knowledge, with 36 respondents (83.72%). Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference in knowledge levels before and after the intervention (p = 0.000; p < 0.05). Conclusion: Mobile health–based health education had a significant effect on improving adolescent girls’ knowledge of child marriage.

Abstract

Introduction: Primary dysmenorrhea is a common complaint among adolescent girls and can significantly interfere with daily activities and academic performance. One non-pharmacological intervention that may help alleviate dysmenorrhea pain is the use of a lumbar corset, which provides postural support and reduces muscle tension in the lower back region. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study population consisted of female students at SMP Negeri 2 Melaya who experienced primary dysmenorrhea. A total of 47 participants were selected using convenience sampling. The intervention involved wearing a lumbar corset for 2 hours per day during menstruation. Pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Prior to the intervention, most participants reported moderate to severe pain levels. Following the use of the lumbar corset, a significant reduction in pain intensity was observed. The Wilcoxon test showed a Z value of −6.283 with p < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference between pain scores before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The findings indicate that lumbar corset use is effective in reducing primary dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls. Further studies employing a control group and larger sample sizes are recommended to strengthen the evidence and generalizability of the results.

Abstract

Introduction: Lower back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal complaint frequently experienced by individuals engaged in repetitive and prolonged working postures, including weavers. Persistent LBP may cause muscle stiffness and soreness and, if not properly managed, can negatively affect work performance and productivity. Non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly recommended to manage musculoskeletal pain. One such intervention is effleurage massage combined with ginger oil, which is believed to promote muscle relaxation and reduce pain. This study aimed to examine the effect of effleurage massage using ginger oil on lower back pain intensity among members of the Putri Mas weaving group in Batuagung Village. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The study population consisted of weavers from the Putri Mas Group in Batuagung Village. A total of 53 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. The intervention involved applying effleurage massage with ginger oil to the lower back for 15 minutes per session. Pain intensity before and after the intervention was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Prior to the intervention, all participants reported experiencing lower back pain, with most classified as having moderate pain intensity. Following the intervention, all participants demonstrated a reduction in pain intensity, with the majority reporting mild pain. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test revealed a Z value of −6.783 and a p-value < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). Thus, the null hypothesis was rejected. Conclusion: The findings indicate that effleurage massage using ginger oil is effective in reducing lower back pain intensity among weavers. Future research is recommended to employ a controlled experimental design and include a larger sample size across different weaving groups to strengthen the generalizability of the results.
