Abstract

Background: Childhood stunting remains a major global public health problem that affects growth, development, and long-term health outcomes among children under five years of age. Parenting behavior and preventive health attitudes within families play an important role in supporting child nutrition and growth during early childhood. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between parenting patterns in children aged 2–5 years and parental attitudes toward stunting prevention. Methods: This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design involving 65 parents who had children aged 2–5 years in the Tarumajaya Public Health Center area. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that assessed parenting patterns and attitudes toward stunting prevention. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and Fisher’s Exact Test to determine the association between variables. Results: The results showed that most parents applied democratic parenting patterns (90.8%), followed by authoritarian (4.6%), neglectful (3.1%), and permissive parenting (1.5%). The majority of respondents demonstrated positive attitudes toward stunting prevention (96.9%). The Fisher Exact statistical test indicated that parenting patterns were not significantly associated with attitudes toward stunting prevention (p = 0.092). Conclusion: Most parents demonstrate positive attitudes toward stunting prevention regardless of parenting patterns. Strengthening parental education and community-based health promotion may enhance preventive practices related to child growth and nutrition.

Abstract

Background: Rapid technological development has increased gadget use among elementary school children, raising concerns regarding its influence on social behavior and developmental outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the impact of gadget use on the social behavior of elementary school children through a literature review approach. Methods: This study employed a literature review design following PRISMA guidelines to synthesize evidence from scientific publications. The literature search was conducted using the Google Scholar database with keywords related to gadget use, elementary school children, and learning outcomes. The search was limited to articles published between 2019 and 2024. Ten relevant studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected and analyzed through narrative synthesis to identify patterns and key findings related to gadget use and children's social behavior. Results: The results indicate that gadget use among elementary school children produces both positive and negative effects on social behavior. Excessive screen exposure tends to reduce children's direct social interaction and may contribute to behavioral dependency. Several studies show that prolonged gadget use may also influence children's emotional regulation, attention, and physical activity. However, controlled gadget use under parental supervision may support learning activities, information access, and digital literacy development. Parental involvement and balanced usage patterns play an important role in minimizing negative impacts and supporting children's social development. Conclusion: Gadget use significantly influences the social behavior of elementary school children depending on the duration of use, parental supervision, and usage context. Balanced digital media exposure combined with parental guidance may help optimize children's social and developmental outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition for infants during the first six months of life and contributes to improved maternal and child health outcomes. Maternal knowledge is recognized as a critical determinant influencing breastfeeding practices and infant feeding behaviors across different populations. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between mothers’ knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding practices through a literature review. Methods: The study employed a quantitative literature review approach that analyzed ten research articles examining maternal knowledge and exclusive breastfeeding practices. Studies were selected based on relevance to the research topic and analyzed to identify patterns in study design, sample characteristics, and key findings related to breastfeeding knowledge and practices. Results: The synthesis of the reviewed studies demonstrated that maternal knowledge plays a significant role in shaping breastfeeding practices. Several studies reported statistically significant associations between maternal knowledge and exclusive breastfeeding behavior. Mothers with higher knowledge levels tended to demonstrate stronger breastfeeding commitment and better adherence to recommended breastfeeding practices. However, breastfeeding outcomes were also influenced by cultural beliefs, family support, maternal parity, and access to health information. Conclusion: Maternal knowledge remains a fundamental determinant of exclusive breastfeeding practices. Strengthening maternal education and breastfeeding support programs is essential to improve breastfeeding outcomes and promote optimal infant nutrition.

Abstract

Background: Postoperative pain following cesarean section is a common clinical problem that may affect maternal recovery and patient comfort. Complementary approaches such as spiritual therapy and relaxation techniques are increasingly used as supportive interventions in pain management. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of murottal therapy combined with breathing exercises on pain levels among post-cesarean section patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 40 post-cesarean section patients selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of listening to the recitation of Surah Ar-Rahman for 15 minutes combined with guided breathing exercises delivered three times within one day. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-test analysis. Results: The mean pain score decreased from 4.95 ± 0.78 before the intervention to 2.57 ± 0.71 after the intervention. Statistical analysis indicated a significant reduction in pain levels following the intervention (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The combination of murottal therapy and breathing exercises effectively reduces postoperative pain in cesarean section patients and may serve as a complementary intervention in nursing practice.

Abstract

Postoperative pain following cesarean section is a common clinical problem that may affect Nurse leaders play a strategic role in bridging the gap between research findings and clinical practice in healthcare services. The integration of research evidence into evidence-based nursing practice is essential for improving healthcare quality and patient safety. This editorial article aims to discuss the critical role of nurse leaders in facilitating the implementation of evidence-based practice within clinical settings. The discussion highlights the leadership function of nurse leaders as connectors between researchers and practitioners, translators of research findings into practical clinical guidelines, and drivers of organizational change in healthcare institutions. Nurse leaders also contribute to fostering collaborative cultures between academia and clinical practice, ensuring the availability of resources to support research implementation, and developing policies that promote evidence-informed clinical decision-making. In addition, nurse leaders serve as role models in the adoption of evidence-based practice and encourage nurses to engage in research and quality improvement initiatives. Strong nursing leadership can therefore enhance the effective integration of research and clinical practice, ultimately improving healthcare quality and advancing the nursing profession.
