Abstract

Background: Anemia during pregnancy remains a major global health problem that affects maternal and fetal outcomes. Iron deficiency represents the primary cause of anemia among pregnant women, particularly during the second trimester when iron requirements increase significantly. Dietary approaches using iron-rich vegetables may provide complementary strategies for improving hemoglobin levels. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of red spinach consumption in increasing hemoglobin levels among pregnant women in the second trimester with anemia. Methods: This study used a literature review design following the PRISMA guideline. Articles were identified through systematic searches in Google Scholar and PubMed databases using keywords related to pregnancy, anemia, red spinach, and hemoglobin. The inclusion criteria included studies published between 2018 and 2024, articles written in English or Indonesian, and studies involving pregnant women with anemia receiving red spinach interventions. The SPIDER framework was applied to structure the review process. Data were extracted and synthesized using a narrative approach. Results: Ten studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The studies used experimental and quasi-experimental designs with intervention durations ranging from two to four weeks. Most interventions involved boiled red spinach or red spinach juice. The results consistently showed increased hemoglobin levels among pregnant women after red spinach consumption, with average improvements ranging from approximately 1.1 g/dL to 1.7 g/dL. Conclusion: Red spinach consumption demonstrates potential effectiveness as a nutritional intervention for improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia. Incorporating red spinach into maternal dietary programs may support anemia management during pregnancy.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major public health problem among elderly populations and contributes significantly to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Lifestyle modification, particularly physical activity, plays an important role in preventing and managing hypertension in older adults. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of physical activity in efforts to reduce the incidence of hypertension in the elderly through a literature review approach. Methods: This study employed a literature review design following the PRISMA guideline. Articles were searched through the Google Scholar database using the keywords physical activity, hypertension, and elderly. The search was limited to articles published between January 2020 and December 2024. Eligible studies included research articles that examined physical activity interventions aimed at reducing blood pressure among elderly populations. Ten relevant studies were selected after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted and synthesized using a narrative analysis approach. Results: The review identified various physical activity interventions including structured walking programs, hypertension exercise, ergonomic exercise, and Buerger-Allen exercise. Most interventions were conducted for three to eight weeks and demonstrated reductions in systolic blood pressure ranging from approximately 5–15 mmHg. Several complementary therapies such as relaxation techniques also contributed to blood pressure reduction. The findings indicate that regular physical activity improves cardiovascular regulation, enhances physical fitness, and supports better hypertension control among elderly individuals. Conclusion: Physical activity interventions provide effective non-pharmacological strategies for reducing blood pressure among elderly populations. Integrating structured physical activity programs into community health services can strengthen hypertension prevention and promote healthy aging.

Abstract

Background: Patient satisfaction represents an important indicator for evaluating the quality of health services, particularly nursing care delivered in hospital settings. Nurses maintain continuous contact with patients during treatment processes, making nursing services a key determinant of patient experiences and satisfaction outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between nursing service quality and the level of patient satisfaction through a literature review. Methods: This study used a literature review design following the PRISMA guideline recommended by the EQUATOR Network. The data were secondary data derived from previously published research articles. The literature search was conducted using Google Scholar with keywords related to patient satisfaction, nursing services, and service quality. The inclusion criteria included full-text research articles published between 2019 and 2024 that examined nursing service quality and patient satisfaction. A total of ten studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using a narrative synthesis approach. Results: The review of five selected studies showed consistent evidence that nursing service quality significantly influences patient satisfaction. Several dimensions of nursing care quality, including reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and communication, were identified as major determinants of patient satisfaction. Most studies reported statistically significant relationships between nursing care quality and patient satisfaction with p-values less than 0.05. Conclusion: Nursing service quality plays a crucial role in improving patient satisfaction in hospital settings. Strengthening nursing care quality through improved communication, responsiveness, and professional competence can enhance patient experiences and overall health care service quality.
