Abstract

Introduction: An estimated 240 million children worldwide live with disabilities, and the World Health Organization reports that they face a substantially higher risk of developmental delay and social exclusion. The Global Burden of Disease study identifies developmental disorders as a major contributor to years lived with disability among children, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where access to inclusive health services remains uneven. In Indonesia, limited integration of psychosocial support within primary healthcare may further compromise social development outcomes. To examine the associations between parenting style, psychosocial stimulation, healthcare access, and social development among children with disabilities. Research Methodology: A quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 45 parents or primary caregivers of registered children with disabilities in Sidenreng Rappang Regency, Indonesia. Total sampling was applied. Data were collected using validated structured questionnaires. Associations were analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression, with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) reported at α=0.05. Results: Democratic parenting was associated with better social development (OR=4.20; 95% CI:1.01–17.45; p=0.032). Good psychosocial stimulation showed the strongest association (OR=8.00; 95% CI:1.78–35.90; p=0.041) and remained significant after adjustment (AOR=6.75; 95% CI:1.29–35.20; p=0.024). Adequate healthcare access was also associated at the bivariate level (OR=3.33; 95% CI:1.01–10.95; p=0.038). Conclusion: Psychosocial stimulation is the most influential determinant of social development among children with disabilities. Integrating structured caregiver education and family-centered psychosocial support into primary healthcare services is essential to promote developmental equity and reduce long-term social exclusion.

Abstract

Introduction: Emergency departments represent high-risk clinical environments where workforce strain may compromise patient safety. The World Health Organization reports a global shortage of health workers exceeding 10 million, disproportionately affecting acute care settings. According to the Global Burden of Disease study, non-communicable diseases and injury-related conditions continue to drive emergency service utilization worldwide. In many middle-income countries, increasing patient volume and limited staffing contribute to excessive nurse workload and occupational stress, which are recognized determinants of adverse events and reduced safety compliance. To examine the association between workload, occupational stress, and patient safety practices among nurses working in emergency units. Research Methodology: An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted among 80 emergency nurses in a tertiary hospital. Total sampling was applied. Data were collected using validated self-administered questionnaires measuring workload, occupational stress, and patient safety practices. Bivariate analysis was performed using Chi-square tests, followed by multivariate logistic regression to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: High workload was significantly associated with inadequate patient safety practice (AOR = 3.05; 95% CI: 1.14–8.15; p = 0.026). High occupational stress also independently predicted inadequate safety practice (AOR = 2.47; 95% CI: 1.01–6.05; p = 0.048). The final model explained 31% of the variance in patient safety outcomes. Conclusion: Excessive workload and occupational stress are significant determinants of patient safety performance in emergency nursing units. Workforce regulation, staffing optimization, and stress mitigation strategies should be integrated into hospital quality improvement and public health workforce policies.

Abstract

Introduction: Breast engorgement is a common postpartum complication that contributes to maternal discomfort and early discontinuation of breastfeeding. Effective, accessible, and non-pharmacological management strategies are needed to support maternal and child health outcomes. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of a topical aloe vera–menthol combination gel in reducing breast engorgement severity and pain intensity among postpartum mothers. Research Methodology: A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a posttest-only control group design was conducted among 32 postpartum mothers experiencing breast engorgement in the working area of the East Lampung District Health Office, Indonesia. Participants were allocated into an intervention group (n=16) receiving aloe vera–menthol gel twice daily for four days and a control group (n=16) receiving standard breast care. Breast engorgement severity was measured using the Six-Point Engorgement Scale (SPES), and pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test and multivariable linear regression (α=0.05). Results: The intervention group demonstrated significantly lower SPES and NRS scores compared with the control group (p<0.001). After adjustment for age, parity, and breastfeeding frequency, the gel remained an independent predictor of reduced engorgement severity (β = -1.49; 95% CI: -2.05 to -0.93) and pain intensity (β = -2.21; 95% CI: -3.01 to -1.41). Conclusion: The aloe vera–menthol gel is an effective complementary topical therapy for reducing breast engorgement and pain in postpartum mothers and may support breastfeeding continuity in primary healthcare settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia, particularly in remote and highland regions such as the Bintang Mountains of Papua. It is characterized by impaired physical and cognitive development due to chronic malnutrition, repeated infections, and inadequate health services. Understanding the determinants of stunting in these settings is critical to inform effective interventions and policies. Methods: This study employed an analytical survey with a case-control design to examine risk factors associated with stunting among toddlers aged 24–59 months in the Oksibil Health Center working area, Bintang Mountains Regency, Papua. A total of 66 respondents were recruited between April and May 2024, consisting of 33 stunted toddlers (cases) and 33 non-stunted toddlers (controls). Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals to identify significant risk factors. Results: The findings revealed that several factors were significantly associated with stunting: maternal knowledge (OR = 1.911), history of infectious diseases (OR = 8.090), environmental sanitation (OR = 1.375), socio-cultural practices (OR = 3.801), and health service utilization (OR = 9.339). Among these, inadequate health service utilization posed the highest risk. Socio-cultural norms, poor hygiene practices, and limited maternal awareness were also strongly linked to stunting prevalence. Conclusion: Stunting in the Bintang Mountains is strongly influenced by a combination of health service gaps, infectious diseases, socio-cultural factors, and insufficient maternal knowledge. Strengthening maternal Education, improving sanitation, addressing harmful cultural practices, and expanding access to health services are critical strategies to reduce stunting prevalence in highland and resource-limited areas of Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health issue caused by chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections. In South Sulawesi, Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting in 2024 was 23.3%. One contributing factor is chronic energy deficiency (CED) among pregnant women. The government promotes supplementary feeding (PMT) to address this. Sambusa made from milkfish (Chanos chanos) and purple sweet potato has potential as a local PMT due to its nutritional value and local availability. Methods: This experimental study used a randomized design to analyze the sensory characteristics and nutritional content of Sambusa with milkfish and purple sweet potato substitution. The organoleptic test was conducted at the Organoleptic Laboratory of Poltekkes Kemenkes Makassar, and nutrient analysis (protein, omega-3, anthocyanin) at the Integrated Biotechnology Laboratory, Hasanuddin University, during May–June 2025. Results: Sensory evaluation showed significant differences in color and texture (p<0.05) but not in aroma or taste (p>0.05). The protein content in the control (F0) and best formula (F3) was 13.88% and 13.72%, respectively. The proportion of omega-3 to total fatty acids increased from 0.74% (F0) to 0.78% (F3), and anthocyanin levels rose from 2.57 CyE/g (F0) to 7.85 CyE/g (F3). Conclusion: Substitution with milkfish and purple sweet potato influenced the sensory and nutritional qualities of Sambusa. The modification enhanced omega-3 and anthocyanin content without significantly affecting protein levels. This product shows promise as a nutritious local supplementary food for pregnant women to help prevent stunting.

Abstract

Introduction: Vulvar hematoma is an uncommon condition in pediatric patients, often caused by blunt trauma to the perineum. Its management differs from that in adults due to children's anatomical and physiological characteristics. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications such as necrosis, infection, or recurrent bleeding. Methods: An 11-year-old girl presented with pain and swelling in the genital region following a fall in a sitting position with a mobile phone underneath her. Physical examination revealed a right-sided vulvar hematoma measuring 7×7×5 cm. Due to the progressive enlargement and pain, surgical evacuation was performed under anesthesia, followed by drainage and wound suturing with Vicryl 2.0 thread. Postoperative management included pediatric co-treatment, analgesics, and antibiotics. Results: The patient showed significant improvement within three days post-surgery, with a reduction in swelling and pain. The drain was removed on the second postoperative day, and wound healing progressed well without complications. The case emphasizes the importance of prompt intervention to prevent pressure necrosis and infection, especially in large hematomas or those with progressive symptoms. Conclusion: Non-obstetric vulvar hematoma, although rare in children, requires prompt evaluation and management. Surgical evacuation is recommended for large or progressively enlarging hematomas to prevent necrosis and other complications. Appropriate surgical technique, postoperative care, and interprofessional collaboration ensure optimal patient outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is defined as the rupture of the amniotic sac before the onset of labor, potentially increasing the risk of infection, hypoxia, and a low APGAR score in newborns. The APGAR score assesses neonatal health immediately after birth and can be influenced by maternal and delivery factors, including the duration of PROM. Methods: This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design and involved 119 term-pregnant women with PROM, selected through purposive sampling from medical records at Dr H. Abdul Moeloek Regional General Hospital, Lampung Province, in 2024. The independent variable was PROM duration (<12 hours or >12 hours), and the dependent variable was the neonatal APGAR score (>7 or <7). Data analysis employed the Chi-square test with a 95% confidence level. Results: Most respondents (83.2%) experienced PROM lasting <12 hours, and 79% of newborns had APGAR scores >7. Chi-square analysis revealed no statistically significant association between PROM duration and APGAR score (p = 0.092; OR = 0.93). Although a higher proportion of low APGAR scores occurred in the >12-hour PROM group, the relationship was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The study indicates no significant correlation between PROM duration in term pregnancies and neonatal APGAR scores. Prompt medical interventions may mitigate potential risks, reducing the impact of PROM duration on immediate neonatal outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of timely obstetric management and suggest that further research with larger sample sizes is warranted to investigate other potential contributing factors.

Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer remains the most prevalent malignancy among Indonesian women, comprising approximately 30% of all cases. Most patients present in advanced stages, necessitating chemotherapy, which often causes side effects such as alopecia, nausea, and anxiety that may reduce treatment adherence. Family support plays a vital psychosocial role in enhancing motivation and compliance. Methods: This observational analytical study employed a cross-sectional design at Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Regional General Hospital, Bandar Lampung, from June 20 to 30, 2025. A total of 47 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were selected through purposive sampling. Family support was assessed via a validated questionnaire, and adherence data were extracted from medical records. The Chi-square test was applied with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Most respondents were aged 46–60 (44.7%) and worked as housewives (55.3%). Good family support was reported by 68.1% of participants, and 72.3% demonstrated good chemotherapy adherence. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between family support and chemotherapy adherence (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Patients with strong family support consistently showed higher adherence levels. Conclusion: Family support has a significant influence on chemotherapy adherence in breast cancer patients. Interventions that strengthen family involvement could enhance treatment success and improve patient quality of life. Integrating psychosocial support into cancer care programs is crucial for addressing both medical and emotional needs, thereby promoting optimal adherence and therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Social media has become an essential communication platform influencing medical professionalism. For doctors, it serves as a tool for education, health promotion, and professional networking. However, unregulated use poses legal and ethical challenges, particularly concerning confidentiality and professionalism. This study explores the legal and ethical implications of doctors’ activities on social media in Indonesia. Methods: This research employs a normative legal and literature review approach. Sources were obtained from Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Garuda, and Sinta, using keywords such as doctor, social media, ethics, and health law. Articles published between 2020 and 2025 were selected based on relevance to legal and ethical aspects of medical social media use. Results: Findings indicate that while social media enhances accessibility to health information, education, and patient engagement, it also introduces risks of privacy breaches, misinformation, and blurred doctor–patient boundaries. Indonesian regulations, such as Law No. 11/2008 (ITE Law) and Law No. 17/2023 (Health Law), partially address these issues, but no specific regulation governs doctors’ digital conduct. A comparative analysis with international guidelines, such as those of the General Medical Council (UK), underscores the need for clearer national standards. Ethical principles in the Indonesian Medical Code of Ethics (KODEKI) must guide doctors’ online presence. Strengthened digital professionalism, legal clarity, and continuous education are crucial. Conclusion: Doctors’ responsible use of social media can enhance public health communication. However, comprehensive legal frameworks and ethical awareness are vital to safeguard patient rights and uphold medical professionalism in the digital era.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical developmental stage marked by psychological, emotional, and social changes. Anxiety is among the most common mental health issues faced by adolescents and can significantly affect their academic achievement, social relationships, and overall well-being. This study aimed to examine the effect of e-book media on the knowledge level of adolescent girls regarding mental health issues, specifically anxiety. Methods: This research employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The population consisted of adolescent girls enrolled at Madrasah Aliyah Muhammadiyah Salaka, with 62 respondents selected through total sampling. Data collection used a structured questionnaire measuring knowledge about anxiety-related mental health issues. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test through SPSS version 29.0 to compare pretest and posttest scores. Results: The findings revealed a significant improvement in knowledge after the intervention. Before using e-book media, 54.8% of respondents had low knowledge, 40.3% moderate knowledge, and only 4.8% high knowledge. Following the intervention, 74.2% demonstrated high knowledge and 25.8% moderate knowledge, with no respondents remaining in the low knowledge category. Statistical analysis indicated a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), confirming a significant effect of e-book media in enhancing knowledge. Conclusion: E-book media is proven to be an effective educational tool for increasing adolescent girls’ knowledge about mental health, particularly anxiety. Its accessibility and interactive format make it a valuable medium for promoting adolescent mental health literacy in school settings. Future studies are recommended to expand to larger populations and integrate other digital learning resources.
