Abstract

Low self-efficacy is a massive problem among Indonesian teenagers and can affect mental health. Meanwhile, the unwise use of AI will have a worse impact if not handled properly. Psychoeducation: Getting to Know Self-Efficacy for Wise AI with Confirmatory Feedback Communication aims to increase self-efficacy and awareness of the wise use of AI technology among students of SMK Negeri 67 Jakarta. Using the confirmatory feedback approach, this psychoeducational activity was carried out through a series of pre-tests, providing materials, discussions in small groups to confirm participants' views, and post-tests. The results of the analysis showed that an increase in the score of reflective attitudes towards the use of AI was influenced by the score of increasing self-efficacy. This psychoeducation shows that the higher the self-efficacy, the use of AI tends to decrease in the data. The confirmatory feedback approach can also be an educational strategy that supports independent and ethical learning in the digital era.

Abstract

Food is one of the primary needs that must be met to maintain a healthy body. However, irregular eating patterns have become a serious health problem among students. This study aims to analyze eating patterns, food preferences, and nutritional understanding of UIN Sumatera Utara students. Using a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, this study involved 3 respondents, namely UIN Sumatera Utara students. The results of the study showed that students' eating frequency tends to be irregular, with a tendency to skip breakfast and eat more often twice a day during active college days. Consumption of snacks and fast food is quite high, driven by efficiency factors, time constraints, and the influence of the environment and peers. Most informants prefer heavy and processed foods such as instant noodles, geprek chicken, and ultra-processed snacks, with limited knowledge of balanced nutrition and inconsistent application. The conclusion of this study is that the eating patterns of students in this interview show a tendency to be irregular and unbalanced. Fast food and processed foods are the main choices because they are practical, affordable, and easily accessible, while consumption of fruits and vegetables is very low.

Abstract

Intravenous catheter (IVC) insertion is one of the most frequently performed nursing procedures in hospitals and plays a vital role in intravenous therapy, both for the administration of fluids, drugs, and transfusions. The success of this procedure directly affects patient safety, service efficiency, and the quality of nursing care. However, various studies have shown that the success rate of IVC insertion on the first attempt is still low globally, and contextual data in Indonesia, especially in private hospitals, is still very limited. This article aims to describe the profile of IVC insertion success at Mayapada Hospital Surabaya and identify the factors that contribute to its achievement. This study uses a retrospective descriptive approach with analysis of IV insertion recap data during the period April 2024 - July 2024. The results show that the success rate of IVC insertion on the first attempt at this hospital is above the national average, with significant contributions from practice-based training, clinical supervision, and the use of standard procedural guidelines. These findings provide theoretical contributions in enriching the literature related to nurses' technical competence and provide practical implications in the form of recommendations for improving the quality of nursing services through strengthening training programs and performance evaluation. This study is also expected to be the basis for the development of institutional policies and comparative studies in other health facilities in Indonesia.

Abstract

Quality of service is a fundamental factor in influencing inpatient satisfaction in hospitals. This study aims to explore the impact of various service quality dimensions on inpatient satisfaction through a systematic literature review of ten studies conducted in different hospitals in Indonesia. The review shows that all five SERVQUAL dimensions—reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibles—have a positive effect on patient satisfaction. Among them, assurance and empathy were identified as the most influential dimensions. These findings suggest that hospitals should prioritize the development of professional and empathetic healthcare staff in order to enhance service quality and patient satisfaction.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the motivations and psychosocial dynamics behind smoking behavior in young women. Based on in-depth interviews with two informants—a university student and a barista—it was found that emotional stress, social pressure, and the need for relaxation were the primary factors driving their smoking habits. Despite having knowledge about the dangers of smoking, both informants exhibited a cognitive-behavioral gap due to emotional attachment and mild dependency. The study also revealed that permissive family attitudes and peer influence reinforced their behavior. Although both informants had attempted to quit, internal struggles and the lack of environmental support hindered their efforts. These findings highlight the need for a holistic approach—including psychological, social, and educational interventions—to support smoking cessation, especially among young women.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with a steadily increasing prevalence. According to data from the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that over 104,000 new cases of colorectal cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2021. Determining the stage of colorectal cancer is crucial in determining prognosis and appropriate treatment strategies, particularly the impact of the latest staging system on patient survival rates. This study employs a retrospective design, analyzing data from the national cancer registry, which includes patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer between 2000 and 2010. The sample population consisted of 10,000 patients who met inclusion criteria, including age, gender, and cancer stage at diagnosis. Data were collected from medical records and cancer registries, as well as other demographic and clinical information. Statistical analysis methods included Kaplan-Meier analysis to calculate five-year survival rates, and Cox regression models to evaluate risk factors influencing survival. The results will provide insights into the efficiency of the sixth edition of the AJCC staging system in predicting patient survival. The analysis revealed that the five-year survival rate for patients with stage I colorectal cancer reached 90%, while for stage IV it was approximately 10%. The study also found that factors such as age, gender, and the presence of comorbidities significantly influenced patient survival. The use of adjuvant therapy in stage III patients showed an increase in survival rates up to 70%. The sixth edition of the AJCC staging system makes a significant contribution to improving understanding of colorectal cancer patient survival. By using this system, doctors can identify high-risk patients and plan more effective interventions. Further research is needed to explore other factors that may influence survival, including the role of genetics and lifestyle. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for developing better treatment strategies in the future.

Abstract

Type II Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that remains a major global and national health issue due to its potential to cause serious complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, and neuropathy. The increasing number of cases, including in the working area of Pampang Health Center, highlights the importance of nursing interventions focused on self care. Self-care is an essential strategy to control blood glucose levels through proper diet, physical activity, medication adherence, and regular monitoring. One of the effective educational methods applied is leaflet media, as it is simple, easy to understand, and can be read repeatedly. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of educational interventions using leaflet media on self-care ability in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. The results showed a decrease in blood glucose levels from 236 mg/dL on the first day to 222 mg/dL on the third day after the education was provided. Furthermore, patient compliance improved in terms of maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in physical activity, and taking prescribed medications. These findings indicate that self-care education using leaflet media positively contributes to enhancing patients’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices in managing diabetes. In conclusion, educational interventions using leaflets are effective in improving self-care and reducing blood glucose levels among type II diabetes mellitus patients, making it a valuable nursing strategy in community health effort for diabetes management.

Abstract

Pneumothorax is a respiratory emergency condition due to the entry of air into the pleural cavity that causes lung collapse, ventilation obstruction, and ineffective breathing patterns. Non-pharmacological therapies such as deep breathing can help improve lung ventilation, alveolar expansion, and decrease shortness of breath. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of deep breathing therapy in improving breathing patterns in pneumothorax patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar. Case study research was conducted on one patient with a medical diagnosis of pneumothorax. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and physical examinations. Deep breathing interventions were given for 3 sessions, each lasting 3–4 seconds during treatment in the emergency room. After therapy, the breathing rate decreased from 28x/min to 24x/min, oxygen saturation increased from 89% to 91%, the use of the breathing support muscles was reduced, and the patient appeared calmer. However, the increase in oxygenation is relatively small, so deep breathing needs to be collaborated with additional oxygen for optimal effect. Deep breathing is effective as a complementary intervention to improve breathing patterns, but it cannot be the primary therapy. This therapy should be done in conjunction with oxygenation to support physiological improvement and patient comfort

Abstract

Sexual abuse is a global issue. All genders are affected, both young and old, most especially the girl child. As a major issue in public health, sexual assault affects millions of individuals annually. In addition to causing physical harm, it also has a significant effect on people's mental and psychological well-being. There are both short-term and long-term effects linked to an elevated risk of various sexual and reproductive health issues. Individuals may be stigmatized and ostracized by their families and communities when abused, hence, parents and guardians should create time for their children and monitor all activities they engage in. There should be implementation of capital punishment for offenders and laws should be put in place to protect the girl child. When it comes to medical and psychological treatment for victims of sexual assault, as well as evidence collection to aid prosecutions, health professionals play a significant role.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that is a major cause of premature death worldwide. The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia reaches 34.11% (Riskesdas, 2018) and in South Sulawesi it is 31.68%. Hypertension can be controlled through pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. One non-pharmacological therapy that has been proven effective is Isometric Handgrip Exercise (IHE), which is a static contraction exercise of the hand muscles that can improve endothelial function, reduce sympathetic activity, and lower blood pressure. This study describes the application of Isometric Handgrip Exercise to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients in the emergency room of Dr. Tadjuddin Chalid General Hospital in Makassar. The design used was a case report on a 54-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension. Nursing assessment was conducted using the SDKI, SLKI, and SIKI approaches. Interventions included management of increased intracranial pressure, pain management, and Isometric Handgrip Exercise. The patient was admitted with a blood pressure of 208/101 mmHg, a pulse of 107 beats per minute, a headache pain scale of 5, nausea, vomiting, and weakness. After intervention, blood pressure decreased to 180/80 mmHg, pulse rate to 90 beats per minute, and pain scale to 3. The patient appeared more relaxed and able to adapt to the condition. The application of Isometric Handgrip Exercise was proven to help lower blood pressure and reduce pain complaints in hypertensive patients. This exercise is simple, inexpensive, can be done independently, and is safe to be used as a pharmacological adjunct therapy. Nurses are expected to make IHE one of the non-pharmacological interventions in hypertension management, while patients and families are expected to be able to apply this exercise regularly at home to control blood pressure.
