Abstract

Choking remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five, commonly triggered by food and small objects, yet community knowledge and practices are often inadequate. This scoping review aimed to map existing evidence on educational interventions for paediatric choking management among toddlers. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, Science Direct, and other databases for studies published published in 2019-2024, applying the PICO framework targeting parents, teachers, caregivers, and healthcare providers. The initial search identified 674 records, with 14 studies meeting inclusion criteria after systematic screening. Studies employed pre-experimental, quasi-experimental, cross-sectional, or randomised designs with sample sizes ranging from 30-447 participants. Educational interventions using audiovisual media, demonstrations, counselling, and simulations consistently enhanced knowledge and skills, with audiovisual approaches showing the most notable effects. Despite improvements in knowledge acquisition, gaps remained between theoretical understanding and practical application in real-life choking incidents. This review contributes to the scientific literature by providing comprehensive mapping of effective educational strategies and identifying the persistent theory-practice gap, informing evidence-based intervention design for enhanced community preparedness.

Abstract

Giri Emas Regional Hospital Laboratory has been applying local government retribution tariffs since 2023. With improvements in operational services and quality, along with the hospital's change in status, there is an increasing need for the implementation of competitive and strategic tariffs. Objective to identify the unit costs of routine laboratory tests using the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) method and compare them with the local government retribution tariffs in Buleleng Regency. Method: The research was conducted using a descriptive quantitative approach from secondary data on laboratory and management records on direct and indirect costs at Giri Emas Regional Hospital from November 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024. The unit cost calculations reveal that certain laboratory tests have significantly higher costs, such as direct bilirubin (IDR 177,951), triglycerides (IDR 174,955), and total bilirubin (IDR 162,541). In contrast, tests like HCG (IDR 38,972) and Widal (IDR 43,020) have the lowest unit costs. Statistically, the median unit cost at Giri Emas Regional Hospital  is higher than the local government retribution tariffs (median = 69,186 vs 44,000; U = 47, p < 0.01). Giri Emas Regional Hospital should conduct further evaluation of the differences between its unit costs and the retribution tariffs.

Abstract

Heart failure causes functional impairment and impacts patients' quality of life. A family-centered approach involving families as partners in care is an effective strategy for improving patients' quality of life. Objective: This study aims to identify the role of families in implementing family-centred care for heart failure patients. A quantitative descriptive design involving 317 families of heart failure patients. Purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria was applied in this study.  The Family Centered Care Assessment of Family (FCCA-F)  instrument was used to identify the role of families in decision-making, providing support, and family-to-family and peer support. Data analysis was performed using computer software. Analysis to present data used descriptive statistics. The results showed that the domain of the role of families in decision-making and the support provided by the immediate family were "relatively strong" in the majority of cases (57.1% and 63.1%). This indicates the active involvement of the immediate family in the care and support process for heart failure patients. However, most (70.3%) of the family-to-family and peer support domain  results were "weak." This finding indicates that initiatives to connect patients' families have not been fully realised. These findings show that the family's role in decision-making and supporting heart failure patients is decisive, improving quality of life and therapy compliance. However, the family-to-family and peer support domains are still weak, requiring the development of support group initiatives to optimise patient care and quality of life.

Abstract

Currently, there are several methods of coagulation testing, one of which is the Point-of-care testing (POCT) method which has emerged as a tool that plays an important role in modern healthcare, enabling fast, convenient diagnosis as well as more economical costs and can be done directly at the patient's treatment site. Some laboratories have also used the semi-automatic elecromechanic coagulation analyser as a coagulation testing tool. Objective to see the difference of aPTT and PT values in POCT method and semi automatic electromechanic method, so that it is useful in the selection of coagulometer. This study is an observational study with a cross sectional design conducted at H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Using 100 samples obtained through non-probability sampling with the consecutive sampling technique, each sample was examined for aPTT, PT, and INR using the POCT method and the electromechanical semi-automatic method. The results of each examination were analysed using the Mann Whitney statistical test. The results of the comparative test between INR of the POCT method and electromechanic semi-automatic found a significant difference between the two examination methods (p = <0.001). While in the aPTT an PT parameter, the POCT method with semi-automatic electromechanic did not find a significant difference between the two examination methods (p = 0.434 and p= 0.371). The average value of the difference between the two tools was 4.12 seconds in aPTT parameters and 0.50 in INR. There is no significant difference in the results of the aPTT and PT parameter between the two methods but there is a difference in the results of the INR parameter.

Abstract

Surgical procedures often cause anxiety that has an impact on the impaired sleep quality of preoperative patients. Untreated anxiety can hinder the surgical process and even potentially cancel surgery. Objective: To analyze the effect of Virtual Reality Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (VR-SEFT) therapy on the level of anxiety and sleep quality of preoperative patients at the UPT of Lamaddukelleng Hospital, Wajo Regency. The research design used a quasi-experiment with a pre and post test control group design approach. The sample totaled 60 respondents, divided into an intervention group (n=30) and a control group (n=30) through purposive sampling techniques. The intervention group received VR-SEFT therapy twice a day for three days, with a duration of 15 minutes per session, while the control group received standard preoperative treatment. Research instruments include the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HARS-A) to measure anxiety (validity coefficients 0.529–0.727; Cronbach’s α = 0.756) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality (Cronbach’s α = 0.64–0.83). Data analysis was carried out using univariate and bivariate tests with a significance level of 95% (α=0.05). Results: There was a significant reduction in anxiety and improved sleep quality in the intervention group compared to the control (p<0.001). The average HARS score decreased from 35.67 to 12.83 (control: 37.20 to 23.67), while PSQI from 49.67 to 14.33 (control: 50.77 to 25.27). Effect size showed a very large influence on anxiety (d=4.22) and sleep quality (d=3.19). VR-SEFT is effective in lowering anxiety and improving the sleep quality of preoperative patients, and has the potential to be integrated into perioperative nursing practice. This finding is expected to be an innovation in health services, especially in supporting the achievement  of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) point 3, namely improving mental health and patient welfare.

Abstract

Filariasis is a chronic infectious disease that can cause permanent disability and remains endemic in several regions of Indonesia, including Pidie District. Low public awareness and inadequate preventive practices hinder elimination efforts, underscoring the importance of effective health education. This study evaluate the effectiveness of health education based on the Stage-of-Change model in improving community capacity for filariasis prevention. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was conducted with 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The intervention group (Delima Public Health Center area) received Stage-of-Change–based health education, while the control group (Padang Tiji Public Health Center area) received no specific intervention. Data on knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors were collected using questionnaires with strong psychometric properties (Content Validity Index = 0.92; Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.87). Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate techniques, with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test applied at α ≤ 0.05. Results showed significant progress in the intervention group, with participants advancing from precontemplation to preparation and action stages, accompanied by a marked increase in prevention capacity (p = 0.000, p < 0.05). In contrast, no significant change occurred in the control group (p = 0.342, p > 0.05). These findings confirm that SOC-based health education is more effective than conventional approaches and should be integrated into public health programs to strengthen community-based filariasis prevention.

Abstract

A coagulometer is a tool used to check coagulation parameters, such as prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), for which there are currently various detection methods. Examining PT and aPTT coagulation function requires a fast turnaround time and immediate results because the stability of coagulation factors is less than four hours, so a fast and precise examination is needed. Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a good alternative. This study aimed to determine the difference in aPTT and PT values between POCT and optical fully automatic. This comparison will be useful when selecting coagulometer devices. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study with a non-probabilistic sample of 100 citrate samples. Each sample was tested for aPTT and PT using POCT and optical fully automatic testing. The results of each examination were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney, Bland-Altman Plot, and correlation statistical tests. In this study, precision tests were also carried out on both methods. methods. There was a significant difference (p < 0.001) in the comparative test results for the aPTT and PT values obtained using the POCT method compared to the optical fully automatic method. The average difference between the two methods was 6.6 seconds for the aPTT parameter and 4.98 for the PT parameter. Fourteen samples were found to have different interpretation values for the aPTT parameter, and 28 samples for the PT parameter. There is a significant difference between the POCT method and the optical fully automatic method. The precision test on the POCT method produced good results.
