Abstract

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia remains a significant public health problem among adolescent girls due to increased iron requirements during rapid growth and menstruation. Inadequate knowledge about iron (Fe) tablet consumption contributes to low adherence to supplementation programs. School-based health promotion is considered a strategic approach to improving adolescents’ understanding and preventive behaviors. This study aimed to determine the effect of health promotion on adolescent girls’ knowledge of iron (Fe) tablet consumption at State Senior High School 2, Luwu, Indonesia. Research Methodology: A quantitative pre-experimental study using a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted from September to October 2024. A total of 46 adolescent girls were selected through total sampling. Knowledge was measured using a structured 10-item questionnaire administered before and one week after the intervention. The health promotion intervention was delivered through lectures supported by leaflet media. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to assess differences in knowledge scores before and after the intervention. Results: Before the intervention, 65.2% of respondents had poor knowledge, while 34.8% had good knowledge. After health promotion, 100% of respondents achieved good levels of knowledge. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a statistically significant improvement in knowledge scores (p = 0.000 < 0.05), with all participants demonstrating positive rank changes. Conclusion: Health promotion delivered through lectures and leaflets significantly improved adolescent girls’ knowledge of iron (Fe) tablet use. School-based educational interventions represent an effective strategy to strengthen anemia prevention programs and promote adherence to iron supplementation among adolescents.

Abstract

Introduction: Depression and loneliness are major contributors to morbidity and reduced quality of life among older adults, particularly in rural community settings where access to mental health services is limited. Strengthening caregiver capacity may represent a scalable strategy to improve psychological wellbeing. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a community-based caregiver empowerment program in reducing depressive symptoms and loneliness among older adults living in an age-friendly village in Indonesia. Research Methodology: A quasi-experimental nonequivalent pretest–posttest control group design was employed. Seventy-two community-dwelling older adults (n=36 in the intervention group; n=36 in the control group) were recruited using purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of a 6-week structured caregiver empowerment program including psychoeducation, therapeutic communication training, emotional support strategies, and supervised home visits. Depression was measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) and loneliness using the UCLA Loneliness Scale. Data were analysed using paired and independent t-tests and multiple linear regression (α = 0.05). Results: The intervention group demonstrated significantly greater reductions in depressive symptoms (β = -2.88; 95% CI: -3.74 to -2.02; p < 0.001) and loneliness (β = -3.97; 95% CI: -4.98 to -2.96; p < 0.001) compared with the control group. Large effect sizes were observed for both outcomes. Conclusion: The caregiver empowerment program was effective in improving psychological outcomes among community-dwelling older adults. Integrating structured caregiver training into age-friendly villages and primary health care services may provide a scalable, evidence-based strategy to strengthen mental health resilience in ageing populations.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent anemia remains a significant public health concern affecting physical growth, cognitive performance, and long-term productivity. Despite ongoing school-based iron supplementation programs, preventive behaviors remain suboptimal. Behavioral determinants, particularly within the Knowledge Attitude Practice (KAP) framework, may explain this gap. This study aimed to identify factors associated with anemia preventive behavior among adolescents and to determine which behavioral determinant independently predicts preventive practice. Research Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 84 12th-grade students in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were collected using a validated 15-item KAP questionnaire adapted from FAO guidelines. Descriptive statistics were applied, followed by Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors, with p < 0.05 as the threshold for statistical significance. Results: Most respondents demonstrated good knowledge (89.3%), positive attitudes (91.7%), and good preventive practices (70.2%). Bivariate analysis showed that attitude was significantly associated with preventive practice (p = 0.012), whereas knowledge was not (p = 0.293). Multivariate analysis confirmed that attitude remained the only independent predictor (OR = 6.624; p = 0.033). Adolescents with positive attitudes were 6.6 times more likely to demonstrate good preventive behavior. Conclusion: Attitude was independently associated with anemia-preventive behavior, whereas knowledge alone did not significantly influence practice. These findings imply that school-based and nursing interventions should prioritize strengthening positive attitudes and motivational engagement to promote sustainable anemia prevention behaviors.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting begins to appear when the child is two years old and continues when the fetus is still in the womb. The increase in child morbidity and mortality is the impact caused by the incidence of stunting. Stunting children will be able to experience disturbances in their intelligence level, susceptibility to diseases, decreased productivity, and stunted economic growth, which impacts poverty. Method: This study is a Literature Review using the PRISMA method. Articles published in 2022-2024 were identified by conducting database searches (Garuda and Google Scholar) and keywords "Stunting, "Economic Income," and limited to using Chi-Square analysis so that articles meet the criteria for analysis, as many of 10 articles. Results: The search results for the ten articles were obtained, all stating the relationship between economic income and stunting. The author claims that Karl Marx's point of view highlights this problem as a social problem from a social system that subjugates a particular economic class. Dependence on the wage system, inadequate social security, and the exploitation of labor by capitalism trap many proletarian families in a cycle of poverty. This leaves children in these homes vulnerable to chronic malnutrition, which adversely affects their physical and cognitive development. Conclusion: The problem of low economic income in society as the cause of stunting is not only technical interventions, such as supplementary nutrition programs, but rather more fundamental structural changes, as seen from a Marxist perspective. Economic inequality and stunting prevention can be systematically reduced through wealth redistribution, wage system improvement, and the elimination of labor exploitation.

Abstract

Introduction: In the era of Industry 4.0, digital transformation has become necessary for organizations to remain competitive. However, the success of digital transformation initiatives is highly dependent on human resources (HR) competence. This study aims to analyze the level of HR competence and its influence on the effectiveness of digital transformation implementation. Research Methodology: This research employs a quantitative descriptive method using survey data collected from 150 employees across various departments in a mid-sized enterprise undergoing digital transformation. The data were analyzed using statistical tools to measure the correlation between HR competence indicators and digital transformation progress. Result: Findings indicate that 68% of the workforce possesses basic digital skills, while only 24% demonstrate advanced digital and analytical capabilities. Departments with higher digital competence reported smoother transitions and better performance metrics post-transformation. Conclusion: The level of HR competence is critical to the success of digital transformation. Organizations must invest in continuous training and development to bridge the competency gap and support a sustainable digital shift.

Abstract

Introduction: Patient satisfaction is a key indicator of healthcare service quality. One of the most influential factors in determining patient satisfaction is the quality of communication between nurses and patients. As a purposeful and goal-oriented interaction, therapeutic communication plays a critical role in building trust, reducing anxiety, and improving patient outcomes. This study analyzes the relationship between nurse therapeutic communication and inpatient satisfaction in a hospital setting. Research Methodology: This research used a quantitative, cross-sectional design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 120 inpatients across medical and surgical wards in a general hospital. The instrument measured nurse therapeutic communication using a standardized scale and patient satisfaction using a validated satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test and multiple linear regression to determine the strength and significance of the relationship. Result: The study found a significant positive correlation between nurse therapeutic communication and inpatient satisfaction (r = 0.68, p < 0.001). Regression analysis showed that therapeutic communication contributed to 46% of the variance in patient satisfaction (R² = 0.46). Empathy and active listening were the strongest predictors of patient satisfaction among the dimensions of therapeutic communication. Conclusion: Therapeutic communication by nurses has a strong and significant relationship with inpatient satisfaction. Enhancing nurses’ skills in empathetic interaction, active listening, and clear communication may improve overall patient experiences and satisfaction levels.

Abstract

Introduction: Childbirth preparation classes play a crucial role in equipping pregnant women with the knowledge and skills necessary to face labor with confidence. Low maternal self-efficacy is often associated with increased anxiety, longer labor duration, and negative birth experiences. This study examines how implementing childbirth preparation classes affects women’s self-efficacy and pregnancy outcomes. Research Methodology: This quasi-experimental study used a pre-test and post-test control group design. 60 pregnant women in their third trimester were recruited and randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=30), who received childbirth preparation classes, or the control group (n=30), who received standard antenatal care. The classes were conducted over four sessions, covering the labor process, pain management, relaxation techniques, and postpartum care. Self-efficacy was measured using the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory (CBSEI), while pregnancy outcomes were assessed through medical records and post-delivery interviews. Result: The results showed a statistically significant increase in self-efficacy scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). Additionally, women in the intervention group experienced shorter labor durations, lower cesarean section rates, and higher satisfaction with their birth experience. There were no significant differences in neonatal outcomes between the two groups. Conclusion: Implementing childbirth preparation classes positively influences maternal self-efficacy and improves several pregnancy outcomes. Integrating such programs into routine antenatal care can enhance maternal confidence and promote safer, more positive birth experiences

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a high public health problem in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. This condition has a long-term impact on a child's physical growth, cognitive development, and quality of life. Community nurses are important in stunting prevention and management efforts, particularly through a more holistic and sustainable family-based approach. Research Objectives: To identify and analyze the strategies used by community nurses in tackling stunting through a family approach, as well as to understand the challenges faced in implementing these strategies at the community level. Research Methodology: This study uses a descriptive qualitative design with a phenomenological study approach. A total of 10 community nurses in areas with high stunting prevalence were interviewed in depth. Purposive sampling techniques were used to select participants, and data were analyzed using thematic methods to identify the main strategies applied in the family approach. Result: The results of the study showed that community nurses implemented several main strategies, namely: (1) health education to families about nutrition, sanitation, and child care, (2) regular home visits to monitor family growth and development, (3) collaboration with cadres and community leaders in the implementation of programs, and (4) empowerment of mothers through mentoring and counseling groups. Nurses also emphasize the importance of building trust with family to encourage behavior change. Obstacles include low family awareness, a local culture that conflicts with healthy practices, and limited resources. Conclusion: Strategies carried out by community nurses through a family approach have proven to be effective in efforts to overcome stunting. Family empowerment and cross-sector collaboration are key to success. Ongoing support is needed to strengthen the capacity of community nurses to carry out these roles optimally.

Abstract

Introduction: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the critical conditions that requires quick and appropriate treatment to prevent further damage to brain tissue. One non-invasive approach that can be applied is a head elevation of 30°, which is believed to increase cerebral tissue perfusion and reduce intracranial pressure. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of monitoring and the application of 30° head elevation in improving cerebral perfusion in patients with captive trauma. Research Methodology: This study uses an observational design with a pre-post test approach. The study subjects were patients with capitis trauma who performed a 30° head elevation action. Parameters observed before and after the intervention included the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, pain, frequency of vomiting, nausea intensity, and dizziness level. Result: After applying a head elevation of 30°, the patient's GCS remained stable at a value of 15 (Coma Scale). Body temperature decreased from 38.6°C to 36.8°C, and pulse rate from 118x/min to 80x/min. The pain scale decreased from 8 to 3, vomiting from 5x/day to 1x/day, nausea from a score of 5 to 1, and dizziness from a score of 4 to 1. Blood pressure did not change significantly (140/90 mmHg). Conclusion: The application and monitoring of 30° head elevation are effective in increasing the perfusion of cerebral tissue and lowering clinical symptoms related to capitis trauma. This intervention can be used as the first step in the nursing management of TBI patients
