Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide and is frequently associated with sleep disturbances that may hinder recovery. Non-pharmacological interventions such as Qur’anic murottal therapy have been shown to induce relaxation and potentially improve sleep quality. This study aimed to examine the effect of Qur’anic murottal therapy on sleep quality among stroke patients at RSKD Dadi Makassar. Research Methodology: This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest. A total of 37 respondents were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of listening to Qur’anic murottal therapy for three consecutive days. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test due to non-normal data distribution. Results: Before the intervention, all respondents (100%) had poor sleep quality. After the intervention, 86.5% of respondents demonstrated good sleep quality. The mean PSQI score decreased from 8.49±2.13 to 4.57±0.93. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p<0.001), indicating a meaningful improvement in sleep quality following the intervention. Conclusion: Qur’anic murottal therapy significantly improves sleep quality in stroke patients. This intervention can be recommended as a complementary nursing strategy to support holistic recovery in stroke care.

Abstract

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic musculoskeletal disorder that substantially reduces physical function, mobility, and psychosocial well-being among older adults. Limited health literacy and restricted access to continuous education often hinder effective self-management and worsen quality of life. Mobile-based health education has emerged as a practical approach to improve patient engagement and self-care behaviors. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile-based educational intervention in improving the quality of life among patients with osteoarthritis in the working area of the Baki Health Center, Sukoharjo. Research Methodology: This study employed a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design. A total of 50 osteoarthritis patients were recruited using purposive sampling and divided equally into intervention (n=25) and control (n=25) groups. The intervention group received mobile-based education for 4 weeks, including osteoarthritis management materials, pain assessment, physical activity guidance, nutrition monitoring, reminders, and chatbot support, while the control group received standard care. Quality of life was measured using the validated SF-36 questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests with significance set at p<0.05. Results: The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in quality-of-life scores from pretest to posttest (37.60 ± 14.95 vs. 70.20 ± 10.79; t = −10.373; p < 0.001) with a very large effect size (Cohen’s d = −2.075). In contrast, the control group showed no statistically significant change (36.00 ± 9.87 vs. 36.12 ± 10.24; t = −0.486; p = 0.632; Cohen’s d = −0.097). Conclusion: Mobile-based educational interventions were effective in improving the quality of life of patients with osteoarthritis. Integrating mobile health education into primary healthcare services may strengthen self-management, increase patient independence, and support long-term chronic disease management among older adults.

Abstract

Introduction: Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is considered a strategic approach to strengthening nurses' competence and improving job satisfaction. However, evidence regarding structured CPD programs grounded in nursing theory remains limited, particularly in Indonesian hospital settings. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured CPD program based on patricia benner's framework from novice to expert in improving nurses' job satisfaction and professional competence. Research Methodology: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control-group design was employed with 92 clinical nurses (46 in the intervention group and 46 in the control group), selected using purposive and cluster sampling. The intervention consisted of a two-month structured CPD program integrating face-to-face learning, e-learning, and clinical mentoring. Job satisfaction was measured using a validated job satisfaction questionnaire, while competence was assessed using the Nurse Competence Scale (NCS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, and binary logistic regression analyses. Results: The intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in job satisfaction (10.7%; p=0.010) and nurse competence (7.4%; p<0.001). Multivariate analysis identified participation in the structured CPD program as the strongest predictor of improved job satisfaction (OR=2.64, 95% CI: 1.03–6.80; p=0.042) and competence (OR=6.88, 95% CI: 1.94–24.38; p=0.003), after controlling for nurses' working period. The control group showed no statistically significant improvement in either outcome. Conclusion: A structured CPD program based on Patricia Benner's competency framework effectively enhanced nurses' job satisfaction and professional competence. Hospitals should integrate structured, competency-based CPD into routine workforce development strategies to strengthen nursing performance and improve the quality of healthcare services.

Abstract

Introduction: Effective implementation of health policy at the primary care level remains uneven, often limiting its impact on service quality and patient satisfaction. This study aimed to examine the effect of health policy implementation on service quality and patient satisfaction in primary care settings. Research Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 145 patients attending primary healthcare facilities. Participants were selected using systematic random sampling. Health policy implementation was assessed across three domains: policy adherence, resource availability, and provider compliance. Service quality was measured using a modified SERVQUAL instrument, while patient satisfaction was assessed using a standardized Likert-scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, and multiple linear regression. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Health policy implementation showed a significant positive association with service quality (β = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.34–0.70; p < 0.001) and patient satisfaction (β = 0.47; 95% CI: 0.29–0.65; p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that policy adherence was the strongest predictor of service quality (β = 0.31; 95% CI: 0.18–0.44; p < 0.001) and patient satisfaction (β = 0.29; 95% CI: 0.16–0.42; p < 0.001), followed by resource availability and provider compliance, all of which remained statistically significant. Conclusion: The findings indicate that strengthening health policy implementation, particularly adherence and resource support, is essential to improve service quality and patient satisfaction. Policy efforts should prioritize implementation fidelity, workforce capacity, and equitable resource allocation to enhance patient-centered outcomes in primary healthcare.

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability, often resulting in impaired mobility and dependence on family caregivers. Range of Motion (ROM) exercises are essential in preventing complications and improving functional recovery among stroke patients. However, inadequate caregiver knowledge may limit optimal implementation. Educational strategies using different media, such as video and a booklet, may enhance understanding. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of video-based and booklet-based ROM education in improving family knowledge of stroke care. Research Methodology: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest two-group design was conducted among 30 family caregivers of stroke patients (15 in the video group and 15 in the booklet group). Participants were recruited purposively from two hospitals. Knowledge was measured using a structured questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. Within-group differences were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, while between-group differences were assessed using the Mann–Whitney U test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Both intervention groups demonstrated significant improvements in knowledge following education. In the video group, median knowledge scores increased from 9.00 to 14.00 (p = 0.001), while in the booklet group, scores increased from 10.00 to 13.00 (p = 0.003). However, no statistically significant difference was observed between groups after the intervention (p = 0.065; Mann–Whitney U test). The findings indicate comparable effectiveness between video and booklet educational media. Conclusion: Both video-based and booklet-based educational interventions effectively improve family knowledge regarding ROM exercises in stroke care. Given the absence of significant differences, the selection of educational media may be tailored to resource availability, user preference, and clinical context. Integrating both media may further optimize caregiver education and support home-based stroke rehabilitation.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent sexual risk behavior remains a significant concern in resource-limited settings, often driven by inadequate reproductive health literacy and limited access to accurate information. Comprehensive reproductive health education (CRHE) has been proposed as an integrated approach to address both behavioral and cognitive determinants. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CRHE in reducing sexual risk behavior and improving health literacy among adolescents. Research Methodology: A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design was conducted among 156 adolescents aged 15–19 years. Participants were equally allocated into intervention and control groups. The intervention consisted of structured CRHE sessions delivered over eight weeks. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate tests, and multivariate regression models. Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: The intervention group demonstrated a significantly higher likelihood of reducing sexual risk behavior compared to the control group (OR = 3.12; 95% CI: 1.52–6.38; p = 0.001). Health literacy scores were also significantly improved (β = 11.4; 95% CI: 8.2–14.6; p < 0.001). These findings remained robust after adjusting for potential confounders. Conclusion: CRHE is effective in improving both behavioral and cognitive outcomes among adolescents in resource-limited settings. Integrating such interventions into school-based programs may enhance adolescent health literacy and reduce risky sexual practices. The findings support the implementation of comprehensive, context-sensitive educational strategies as part of broader public health initiatives.
