Abstract

Stroke ranks as the second leading cause of death worldwide, with an annual mortality of approximately 5.5 million. Stroke is classified into ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, the latter including intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Ischemic stroke, caused by arterial occlusion, accounts for the majority of stroke cases. This study aims to evaluate the effect of serum magnesium and calcium levels on the severity of acute ischemic stroke in patients hospitalized for less than 7 days at the Stroke Unit of Adam Malik Hospital. This study was an analytical research with a cross-sectional design, which involved measuring multiple variables at a single point in time. Data were collected from 50 patients admitted to the Stroke Unit of Adam Malik Hospital. Sampling was conducted consecutively for all patients who met the inclusion criteria. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test to assess the normality of the distribution. From a total of 50 study participants, the majority (54%) were male. The average age of the subjects was 58.42 years, with an age range of 29 to 80 years. Most patients had a high school education (42%). The mean NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) score was 7.58, indicating a moderate level of stroke severity, with NIHSS scores ranging from 5 to 19. The average serum magnesium and calcium levels in patients with acute ischemic stroke were within normal limits, recorded at 2.01 mg/dL and 9.25 mg/dL, respectively. There was no significant association between serum magnesium and calcium levels and the severity of acute ischemic stroke based on NIHSS scores, with p-values of 0.499 and 0.504, respectively.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is one of the global health issues discussed at the G20 meeting in 2020 in Indonesia, where the number of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Indonesia continues to increase, where the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in hospitals requires clinical pathways to provide effective and efficient services to pulmonary tuberculosis patients in the treatment room. The study was conducted quantitatively with a cross sectional research design conducted on 127 medical record files of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in the inpatient treatment room at RSUD IA Moeis Samarinda in 2024 using purposive sampling. Electronic instruments of patient medical records were used to obtain data on compliance with specialist visits, laboratory examinations, thoracic X-ray examinations, administration of Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs, Length of stay, Cost of Drugs and Consumables (BHP), and Cost of Services to assess the effect of Quality Control and Cost Control of Clinical pathway for pulmonary tuberculosis patients hospitalized at RSUD IA Moeis Samarinda. Multivariate analysis using Kruskal Walls test. The results showed that variables that had an influence on the clinical pathway included compliance with specialist visits, where an increase in compliance with specialist visits was also obtained in the group without clinical pathway on average 57.04%, and the group with clinical pathway amounted to 64.07%. Antituberculosis drug administration also increased, in the group without clinical pathway by 22.6% and in the group with clinical pathway by 44.2%. Other variables that also affect the clinical pathway are Length of stay, Cost of Drugs and BHP, and Cost of Services. While 2 other variables, laboratory examination and radiology examination, did not affect the clinical pathway. The conclusion of this study is that clinical pathway is significantly related to visit compliance, OAT administration, Length of Stay, BHP Costs and Service Costs.

Abstract

Tonsillectomy ranks among the most frequently conducted surgical operations, however it is frequently accompanied by moderate to severe postoperative pain. Pain management is typically carried out using analgesics, although their use may result in adverse side effects. Therefore, there is a need for safe and effective complementary therapies, one of which is the use of honey. This review aims to examine the effectiveness of honey in reducing pain in post-tonsillectomy patients. The research method employed is a literature review. Relevant literature was searched through databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Cochrane, and Mendeley between June and August 2025. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method was used to guide the article selection process. From an initial 815 articles identified, 6 relevant studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The majority of studies reviewed demonstrated that honey significantly reduced post tonsillectomy pain compared to standard care or placebo. In addition to pain relief, honey was also reported to promote wound healing and reduce the need for additional analgesics. No serious adverse effects were noted. Based on the reviewed literature, honey effectively reduces pain levels in patients after tonsillectomy.

Abstract

Stunting remains a public health problem in Indonesia, including in Kudus Regency, which recorded a prevalence of 4.56 % in 2024. This condition is influenced by various factors, both maternal and family environment. This study aims to analyze factors related to the incidence of stunting in toddlers in Kudus Regency, including a history of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women, a history of anemia, family socio-economic conditions, and feeding patterns. The study design used a case-control with a retrospective approach. The sample consisted of 200 respondents, consisting of 100 stunted toddlers (cases) and 100 non-stunted toddlers (controls) selected using consecutive sampling method in 19 community health centers in Kudus Regency. Data were collected through interviews with a structured questionnaire from the results of previous research on the history of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), Anemia, family socio-economics and feeding patterns and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Bivariate analysis showed that history of CED (OR = 5.05 ; p < 0.001), history of anemia (OR = 2.12; p = 0.028), family socioeconomic status (OR = 0.14; p = 0.001), and feeding patterns (OR = 0.18; p < 0.001) were significantly associated with the incidence of stunting. The incidence of stunting in toddlers in Kudus Regency is influenced by maternal factors (CED and anemia), family socioeconomic factors, and feeding patterns, with feeding patterns being the dominant factor. Stunting prevention efforts need to focus on improving maternal nutrition, preventing anemia, empowering families economically, and educating toddlers on feeding practices.

Abstract

Low rates of exclusive breastfeeding are generally due to limited knowledge about the benefits of breast milk, which is rooted in a lack of access to adequate information. This suggests that comprehensive education is essential to increase primigravida mothers' knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding. For health education to be more effective, communication media that is engaging and easily understood by mothers are needed. Objective to determine the effect of education using mini books and audiovisual media on the knowledge of third-trimester primigravida women regarding exclusive breastfeeding. A quasi-experimental study with a two-group pre-test–post-test design was conducted. A total of 60 third-trimester primigravida women participated: 30 received a mini book intervention (Purwokerto Timur 1 Health Center, total sampling), and 30 received an audiovisual intervention (Sumbang II Health Center, simple random sampling). Instruments included a video, mini book, and questionnaire with validity test results ranging from 0.502 to 0.986, and a reliability value of 0.768. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Both groups showed significant improvements in knowledge (mini book: p = 0.001; audiovisual: p = 0.000). However, no significant difference was found between the two groups in pre-test (p = 0.511) or post-test (p = 0.277) scores. Mini book and audiovisual media are equally effective in increasing knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding among third-trimester primigravida women.

Abstract

High Fluorescence Cell (HFC) is a cell with high nucleoplasmic and nucleic acid content, enabling it to emit a high fluorescent signal. Mind Ray Series BC 760 automated hematology analyzer uses a technology called Sheath Fluid (SF) Cube to detect these cells using the fluorescence staining method. An increase in HFC may be associated with atypical or pleomorphic lymphocytes caused by viral infection rather than immature or monomorphic lymphocytes caused by malignancy. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the difference in high fluorescence cell in pediatric patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and infection at Adam Malik Hospital. Methods: This study is an observational analytical study with a prospective cohort design. The study sample was 35 people with a diagnosis of ALL of 15 people and infection of 20 people. This study was conducted on patients who came to the pediatric clinic and were hospitalized with a diagnosis of ALL and infection at Adam Malik Hospital who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in this study. A high fluorescence cell blood test was performed.  criteria. A complete blood test of 2 ml of blood in an EDTA vacutainer was gently homogenized. Analysis with a full blood count (FBC) test was performed using an automated hematology analyzer (Mindray BC 760) to obtain the number of lymphocytes and high fluorescence cells. Descriptive statistical analysis was used for demographic data. Statistical analysis used the Mann Whitney statistical test. The research data were analyzed statistically with the help of SPSS and the difference was considered significant if p value <0.05. Results: From the study sample of 35 people, 24 boys (68.6%) and 11 girls (31.4%), with the mean age of 6 years old. The diagnosis of ALL was 15 people (42.9%) while patients with infection were 20 people (57.1%). The median absolute HFC  in ALL was 0.2 x 109/L, and the median in infection was 0.15 x 109/L. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between HFC in patients with ALL and infection (p=0.211).

Abstract

Patriarchal culture shapes gender roles in childcare, often restricting fathers’ involvement and placing the main caregiving responsibility on mothers. Such conditions may contribute to child health problems, particularly stunting, which remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, especially in East Nusa Tenggara. This study aimed to explore husbands’ behaviour in caring for children with stunting from the perspective of patriarchal culture in Tarus Village, Kupang Regency. A qualitative exploratory research with an ethnographic approach was conducted through in-depth semi-structured interviews involving eight participants (four husbands and four wives) who met the inclusion criteria. Data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The analysis generated five major themes: (1) dominance of patriarchal culture, (2) limited involvement of husbands, (3) gender-based affection and stimulation, (4) emotional challenges in managing stunting, and (5) hope and resilience. These findings demonstrate how patriarchal norms restrict the father’s role and reinforce the mother’s primary responsibility in childcare. Patriarchal values significantly influence childcare practices, resulting in minimal paternal involvement in preventing stunting. To address this, gender-sensitive interventions are required, including father-focused training, public awareness campaigns, and family-supportive policies to strengthen paternal roles and reduce stunting prevalence.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia that occurs due to abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin function, or both. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia that occurs due to abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The incidence of DM increases significantly every years.  The aim of this study was to determine the difference in random blood sugar levels in patients before and after being given Frez and Ecata therapy. The research method used was a quasi-experimental method with a pre and post intervention and control group approach. The number of respondents in this study was 52 respondents. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted in accordance with existing SOPs. The Zusanli foot relaxing exercise was performed once daily for one month. ECATA extract was administered in tea form at least twice daily for one month. The data analysis in this study was univariate analysis, which aims to explain each variable studied, including respondent characteristics and GDS levels. Bivariate testing used the Independent T-test. Results The results obtained in this study were changes in blood sugar levels in the intervention group after being given therapy with a p value of 0.025 and there was a difference in blood sugar levels in the intervention and control groups (p value: 0.000). Therapy to decrease blood sugar is already widely available in society. Without controlling diet, any treatment will be meaningless. One of the right ways is with Frez and Ecata therapy which changes behavior slowly and surely.

Abstract

The inter-shift handover is a critical process that significantly impacts patient safety. Communication failures during handover are identified as a major cause of safety incidents. In a referral hospital in Jakarta, the managerial role in handover remains suboptimal, indicated by inconsistent supervision and lack of standard practice. To optimize the role and function of nursing management in the handover process to enhance communication and patient safety. This case report employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires involving staff nurses in the GP2 inpatient unit. Interventions included the development of a standardized operating procedure (SOP) for shift handovers, simulation of bedside handovers using the SBAR format, and strengthened head nurse supervision through structured monitoring. The intervention improved understanding and acceptance of the SOP (100% of respondents found it understandable and logical) and enhanced communication quality (83–87% of respondents reported information was complete, accurate, and interactive). Head nurse supervision was perceived as strong (over 90%). However, only 33.3% consistently performed bedside handovers, and documentation in the electronic medical record (EMR) system was not optimal. Key challenges included time constraints, workload, and the lack of integrated documentation systems. The application of Kotter's change model contributed to the success of the intervention by establishing a sense of urgency, forming a guiding coalition, and reinforcing the role of management as change agents. Optimizing managerial functions has proven effective in improving communication and patient safety. Continued monitoring of bedside handover practices and sustained clinical supervision are recommended to maintain the quality of nursing services.

Abstract

Breast milk is widely recognized as the optimal source of infant nutrition, yet exclusive breastfeeding coverage remains below global and national targets. Maternal knowledge and attitudes, especially among primiparous mothers, are key determinants of breastfeeding practices. Therefore, valid and reliable instruments are essential to measure these factors accurately. Objective to develop and test the validity and reliability of questionnaires assessing knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding among primiparous mothers. This study applied a cross-sectional design involving 15 postpartum mothers with normal deliveries at RSUD Dr. Soewardi Kendal. Two instruments were tested: a 16-item knowledge questionnaire and a 15-item attitude questionnaire. Validity was assessed using Pearson’s correlation with r table = 0.514, and reliability was tested using Cronbach’s alpha. The knowledge questionnaire showed 12 valid items with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.833, indicating good internal consistency. The attitude questionnaire produced 12 valid items with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.861, reflecting excellent reliability. Both the knowledge and attitude questionnaires demonstrated strong validity and reliability, making them feasible instruments for assessing breastfeeding-related factors among primiparous mothers in future research.
