Abstract

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that requires long-term care, which puts caregivers at risk of emotional burdens that can decrease their level of resilience. Families, as caregivers, play an important role in patient care and need to possess strong emotional endurance. Emotion Regulation Therapy is an intervention aimed at improving individuals’ ability to manage emotions adaptively to enhance resilience. This study aims to determine the effect of emotion regulation therapy on increasing the resilience of caregivers who care for patients with schizophrenia in Aceh. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-post-test approach. The sample consisted of 33 caregivers selected through purposive sampling and was given emotion regulation therapy over seven sessions. The instruments used in this study were a demographic data sheet to obtain respondent characteristics and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) questionnaire to measure resilience levels. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test results showed a significant effect of emotion regulation therapy on increasing caregiver resilience, with a Z value = -5.205 and p < 0.001. The results indicated that before the intervention, the majority of respondents (51.5%) were in the low resilience category. After the intervention, there was a significant increase, with 84.8% of respondents categorized as having high resilience. Additionally, the average resilience score increased from 49.00 to 73.15. Based on these findings, emotion regulation therapy has been shown to be effective in increasing the resilience of caregivers caring for patients with schizophrenia. These results indicate that this intervention can be used as a relevant strategy to help caregivers deal with long-term emotional stress.

Abstract

Juvenile inmates are highly vulnerable to mental health disorders, particularly depression and anxiety. Factors such as the prison environment, limited social support, and restricted access to mental health services contribute to this vulnerability. If left untreated, these conditions can adversely impact their psychological well-being and rehabilitation process. Interpersonal Therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach focusing on interpersonal relationships, proven effective in treating affective disorders among adolescents. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Interpersonal Therapy in reducing depression and anxiety among juvenile inmates at the Banda Aceh Juvenile Correctional Institution. A Pre - experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed. A total of 33 participants were recruited using purposive sampling, based on power analysis (power 0.80, effect size 0.70, α = 0.05). The intervention consisted of five sessions of Interpersonal Therapy. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires, the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) to measure depression, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) to assess anxiety levels. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed a significant effect of Interpersonal Therapy on reducing depression (Z = -3.764; p < 0.001) and a non-significant trend in reducing anxiety (Z = -1.732; p = 0.083). Before the intervention, most respondents had moderate depression (60.6%) and mild anxiety (66.7%). After the intervention, 45.5% of participants experienced minimal depression, while mild anxiety increased to 87.9%. The mean depression score decreased from 20.94 to 13.79, and the anxiety score from 17.27 to 13.58. Interpersonal Therapy was effective in reducing depression and contributed to improvements in anxiety among juvenile inmates. This therapy can be used as a non-pharmacological approach in psychiatric nursing to support adolescents mental well-being in correctional settings

Abstract

ABSTRACT The endometrium is a highly vascularized tissue composed of numerous blood vessels, with cells that are formed and destroyed during each menstrual cycle. Menstrual blood, which is shed cyclically from the endometrium in women of reproductive age, contains endometrial tissue or cells. Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are the primary nucleic acids present in cells with nuclei. In this study, 20 samples of menstrual blood and endometrial tissue were collected from women of reproductive age. Menstrual blood was gathered using specially designed filter paper, and DNA was extracted using the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, Cat No.: 51304). Endometrial tissue was obtained via biopsy, and DNA was extracted using the Geneaid DNA Isolation Kit (Geneaid, New Taipei, Taiwan). DNA purity and concentration were measured using a Thermo Scientific Nano-Drop microvolume Spectrophotometer. The results indicated an average DNA purity of 1.88 ± 0.09 and a mean concentration of 116.9 ng/µL for menstrual blood, while endometrial tissue had a median DNA purity of 1.92 and a concentration of 192 ng/µL. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in DNA purity between menstrual blood and endometrial tissue (p = 0.083), but a significant difference in DNA concentration was observed (p = 0.002). Although there was a slight difference in DNA concentration, both menstrual blood and endometrial tissue samples were equally effective in preserving optimal purity and concentration of DNA molecules. Keywords: Deoxyribonucleic Acid, DNA, Endometrial Tissue, Menstrual Blood, Nucleic Acid.

Abstract

Food waste in hospitals is a serious problem that impacts healthcare efficiency, environmental sustainability, and patient well-being. Food waste in hospitals mainly comes from plate waste, which is caused by factors such as food quality, patient diet, and suboptimal food distribution systems. This study aims to assess effective strategies in reducing food waste in hospitals through a systematic review of 12 relevant studies. The method used a systematic literature review with the PRISMA approach, identifying key themes that included determinants of food waste, intervention strategies, and implementation challenges. The results showed that a Life Cycle Assessment-based approach, improved menu design, staff education, and implementation of waste monitoring system were effective in reducing food waste. However, the main challenge lies in the low institutional awareness and lack of binding regulations. Therefore, supportive policies and cross-sector collaboration are needed to create more efficient and sustainable food waste management system in hospitals.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 21.6% in 2021 well above the SDG target of 14% by 2030. Beyond physical growth, stunting significantly impairs cognitive development, influencing future learning ability and productivity. Contributing factors include nutritional status, age, sex, birth conditions, and maternal knowledge. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the association between maternal knowledge and other determinants with the cognitive development of stunted toddlers. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 48 mothers of stunted toddlers in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, selected via purposive sampling. Stunting was defined as a height-for-age z-score < -2 SD. Child cognitive function was measured using the Bayley-III, and maternal knowledge was assessed through a validated questionnaire. Statistical analysis included chi-square tests and logistic regression (p < 0.05; 95% CI), with model fit evaluated using AIC and R². Results: Maternal knowledge was significantly associated with child cognitive development. Surprisingly, children of mothers with “adequate” knowledge had better cognitive outcomes compared to those with “good” knowledge (RR = 1.53; 95% CI: 1.52–1.53; p < 0.01). Other significant predictors included birth order (RR = 1.50 and 1.01; p < 0.05), gestational age (RR = 0.71; p < 0.01), low maternal education (RR = 1.33; p < 0.01), and maternal employment (RR = 1.42; p < 0.1 and p < 0.05). Child age was not significantly associated. Conclusion: Maternal knowledge is a key determinant of cognitive development in stunted toddlers, even when controlling for demographic and social variables. Additional factors such as birth order, gestational age, maternal education, and employment also contribute. Holistic, stage-based interventions are essential to support cognitive development in stunted children.

Abstract

One of the key pillars of maternal and child health services is the midwifery profession, particularly in efforts to reduce maternal and infant mortality. However, in the globalized era, the challenges faced by midwives are more than just clinical skills, but also how the profession is portrayed and perceived by society, especially by the next generation of midwives. The aim of this research is to investigate at how utilizing social media affects how undergraduate students see midwifery as a profession. A correlational quantitative study was conducted involving 144 midwifery students from the Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University. We used proportionate stratified random sampling to choose the participants. Structured questionnaires were used to gather information about how people use social media and what they think about the midwifery profession. After checking that the data was normal, a Pearson correlation analysis was done. The findings demonstrated that most people had a positive opinion of the midwifery profession (mean = 29.84, SD = 3.10) and were highly interested in professional content on social media (mean = 26.10, SD = 3.20). YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok were the most visited websites. Social media use was strongly positively correlated with how others perceived your professional image (r = 0.548, p < 0.001). Social media has a major effect on how midwifery students see themselves as professionals. Adding digital professionalism and media literacy to the midwifery curriculum is important for helping people learn how to use digital tools in a responsible and moral way.

Abstract

Background: Perinatal mental health disorders significantly contribute to maternal and neonatal morbidity, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as Indonesia. Midwives, as frontline maternal healthcare providers, are uniquely positioned to screen for and support women experiencing mental health disorders. However, their involvement remains limited due to systemic, educational, and institutional barriers. Purpose: This study aims to understand the factors influencing midwives' knowledge and utilization of perinatal mental health screening services in Indonesia. Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted using cross-sectional data from an online survey of 300 midwives across Indonesia between June-August 2024. Variables included demographic characteristics, training experience, access to mental health resources, screening knowledge, and utilization behavior. Descriptive statistics and path analysis were used to examine direct and indirect influences on screening utilization. Results: Despite an average of 15 years of clinical experience, only 9.7% of midwives had used mental health screening tools. Just 8.7% had received formal mental health training, and only one-third had access to relevant guidelines. Screening knowledge was significantly predicted by access to structured information sources (β = 1.42; p < 0.001) and directly influenced screening utilization (β = 3.05; p < 0.001). Indirect factors, such as duration of service or interest in training, had no significant effect. Public health outreach and structured training improved access to learning materials. Conclusion: Despite strong interest among midwives, gaps in training, resources, and institutional support hinder effective mental health screening. Strengthening structured training programs and improving access to information are essential steps toward empowering midwives in perinatal mental health care. However, as most participants were from Western Indonesia, these findings should be interpreted with caution, and future studies should include broader geographic representation to better capture the national context

Abstract

Background: Practice placements are critical in pre-registration midwifery education, allowing students to develop clinical competence and confidence by applying theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. However, increasing student numbers and limited placement availability present significant challenges globally. Purpose: This scoping review aimed to explore the types of practice placements currently used in midwifery education and to identify potential strategies to expand placement capacity. Methods: A scoping review methodology was adopted, guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s five-stage framework and reported using PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A comprehensive search of eleven databases and grey literature from July 2000 to July 2023 was conducted. Eligible studies included midwifery student placements in clinical or community-based settings. Data were charted and synthesized narratively to extract key themes. Results: Eleven articles from five countries were included. Two main themes emerged: (1) Types of practice placements and (2) Student experiences. Diverse placements—such as rural settings, student-led clinics, and continuity of care models—offered enriched learning experiences and supported competency development. Placements in community-based or private midwifery practices promoted holistic, woman-centred care. However, students also encountered challenges, including unclear role expectations and work-life balance issues in on-call environments. Conclusion: Expanding midwifery practice placement capacity is vital to meet the growing demand for skilled midwives. Educational institutions and policymakers should consider alternative placement models—including rural and student-led settings, continuity of care models, and midwifery group practices—to ensure sustainable, high-quality learning opportunities. Keywords: Midwifery education; Placement Opportunities; Educational strategies; Scoping review

Abstract

Introduction: Perinatal mental health is critical to the well-being of both mother and child, influencing maternal quality of life and child development. Community-based approaches have proven effective in enhancing service accessibility and quality while also reducing maternal morbidity. Objective: This scoping review aims to identify and explore scientific evidence regarding strategies for delivering community-based perinatal mental health services in developing countries. Method: This study employed a scoping review design guided by the Population–Concept–Context (PCC) framework. Literature searches were conducted across PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, and gray literature sources, including Google Scholar. Selected articles were critically appraised using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).Results: Out of 726 records screened, 10 articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis revealed four central themes: (1) community-based mental health service strategies, (2) instruments used to detect perinatal mental health disorders, (3) enabling and limiting factors in implementing community-based services, and (4) the benefits of community-based mental health interventions. Conclusion: Community-based mental health strategies are widely adopted in developing countries to address service gaps, particularly in settings with limited resources and access. However, challenges such as insufficient policy support, inadequate funding, limited training for healthcare providers, and persistent social stigma continue to hinder effective implementation.
