Abstract

Indonesia is a disaster-prone country located on the Ring of Fire and frequently experiences hydrometeorological disasters, including landslides. Landslides not only cause physical and economic losses but also lead to psychological impacts, particularly anxiety, which is most often experienced by vulnerable groups such as women of childbearing age (WUS). Anxiety after disasters, if left untreated, can disrupt daily functioning and reduce quality of life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been recognized as an effective intervention to reduce anxiety and improve psychological resilience. This study aimed to analyze the level of anxiety in women of childbearing age after a landslide disaster and to evaluate the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in reducing anxiety. This quantitative study used an experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The population consisted of 40 women. The sample is a part of the accessible population that will be used as the subject of research using sampling techniques. The research sample is 20 people in the experimental group and 20 people in the control group.  Childbearing age in the Lae Parira Health Center area, Dairi Regency, from April to October 2025. Samples were divided into two groups: 20 respondents in the experimental group receiving CBT and 20 respondents in the control group. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and standardized anxiety assessment. analysis using univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. The CBT group showed a significant decrease in anxiety scores from a median of 16 to 7 (Z = −4.76; p < 0.001; r = 1.07), while the control group experienced only a slight reduction from 17 to 15 (Z = −3.49; p < 0.001; r = 0.78). Between-group comparison confirmed that CBT was significantly more effective (Z = 5.41; p < 0.001; r = 0.86). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is highly effective in reducing anxiety among women of childbearing age after a landslide disaster. Its implementation in primary healthcare settings can support post-disaster psychological recovery and improve community resilience.

Abstract

Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and one of the most common causes of neonatal death (15%). Early-onset neonatal sepsis (ESNAD) has a higher case-fatality rate than late-onset neonatal sepsis (SNAL). The gold standard for neonatal sepsis diagnosis is bacterial detection through blood culture, but this test has limitations such as being time-consuming and not being available in all health facilities. This study aims to determine the relationship between perinatal risk factors, hematological parameters in infants, procalcitonin, IL-18 with the incidence of SNAD. The population of this study were all babies who had risk factors for SNAD according to the PP Idai UKK Neonatology Clinical Practice Guidelines. The research sample was infants from an accessible population who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. To fulfill statistical rules and fulfill the requirements for data analysis, in this study a minimum of 30 of each will be taken. The use of umbilical cord blood is a promising diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of SNAD. The IT and CRP ratios are elevated in umbilical cord blood from birth and are good indicators for detecting SNAD in infants at risk of infection. Umbilical blood procalcitonin is elevated in infants born >32 weeks with proven sepsis and low in infants with risk factors but without proven sepsis. Therefore, it is concluded that umbilical blood procalcitonin is a promising biomarker for detecting SNAD. IL-18 serves as a risk variable for neonatal sepsis. IL-18 has good discriminatory ability in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.

Abstract

Sleep disturbance is one of the common complaints experienced by patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage V undergoing hemodialysis, which has an impact on decreasing the quality of life physically, psychologically, and socially. Non-pharmacological therapy such as the Benson relaxation technique is considered effective and safe in overcoming sleep disturbances and improving the emotional well-being of patients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Benson relaxation technique in improving the quality of life of patients with CKD stage V. The research design used was a quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test approach with a control group, involving 60 respondents who were divided into intervention groups (n=30) and control groups (n=30) through a purposive sampling technique. The intervention was carried out for 14 days with a duration of 15–20 minutes of exercise per day. The instrument used was a quality of life (QoL) questionnaire consisting of five aspects: satisfaction with therapy, impact on life, fear of complications, social problems, and total QoL score.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) instrument used in this study has been proven valid (r = 0.412–0.698; p < 0.05) and reliable (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.824; p = 0.000), making it suitable for measuring patient sleep quality. Data were analyzed using statistics, with Pearson validity test, Cronbach's Alpha reliability ( α = 0.824), Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney difference tests. The results showed a significant increase in the total QoL score from 2.63 ± 0.49 to 3.27 ± 0.39 (p = 0.001). All aspects of QoL also experienced a significant increase (p < 0.05), especially in the aspect of satisfaction with therapy and decreased fear of complications. Field findings also showed that patients felt calmer, could fall asleep faster, and showed increased social interaction after the intervention. The conclusion of this study is that the Benson relaxation technique is effective in improving the quality of life of CKD stage V patients and is recommended as a nursing intervention that can be applied routinely and independently in hemodialysis service practices.

Abstract

Digital transformation in medical equipment logistics is a vital part of healthcare reform, aiming to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and patient safety. One of the main challenges at hospital is the manual documentation system for borrowing and returning medical equipment, which results in low accountability, service delays, and a high risk of equipment loss. : Case report area focused on the HCU/PICU unit. This study aims to describe the implementation process of a barcode-based digital medical inventory system through a managerial approach and planned change intervention based on Kurt Lewin's theory. A case report was conducted using Kurt Lewin’s planned change approach (unfreezing, moving, and refreezing), data analysis through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and implementation evaluation. The Assessment of Medical Equipment Management (MEM) questionnaire administered to 103 nurses revealed that 87.4% of units still use manual recording and 50.98% reported suboptimal coordination in equipment returns, with reliability  0.86 and validity loading factor ±0.5; content validity 85%. The intervention involved developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and technical guidelines for the "MedScan-KISA" barcode system, conducting simulation trials using Google Forms and barcode scanners, and directly supervising the implementation process. The implementation of a barcode-based digital inventory system in the HCU/PICU unit of hospital was carried out through a gradual change process based on Kurt Lewin’s theory. In the unfreezing phase, problems with the manual inventory system were identified through interviews, observations, and cross-unit discussions, leading to the design of a simple digital inventory system for the HCU/PICU unit. In the moving phase, an SOP was developed, simulations using barcodes and Google Forms were conducted, and intensive socialization and mentoring were provided to staff. Finally, in the refreezing phase, the new system was consistently practiced and integrated into daily routines in the HCU/PICU unit, thereby facilitating inventory recording and the return of medical equipment.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, with long-term implications for child development and national productivity. Community health workers (CHWs) play a key role in promoting and preventing stunting at the community level. Cultural traditions such as bancaan, a Javanese communal gathering, present unique opportunities to convey health messages in a culturally resonant manner. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge among CHWs regarding stunting prevention, both from biomedical and local wisdom perspectives, with particular attention to the bancaan tradition. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted involving 53 CHWs in the working area of Ceper Primary Health Center, Klaten Regency, selected through total sampling. A validated structured questionnaire was employed, and data were analyzed descriptively. The majority of CHWs (84.9%) demonstrated a high level of knowledge concerning stunting prevention, including awareness of bancaan as a culturally rooted educational medium. CHWs in the study area possess strong knowledge of both biomedical and cultural approaches to stunting prevention. Integrating local traditions such as bancaan into CHW training and community health interventions is recommended to enhance the cultural relevance and effectiveness of public health messaging

Abstract

X Hospital Jakarta Barat is a hospital that has implemented various competency development programs and continuing professional development initiatives for nurses. However, the implementation of mentorship as a clinical learning method has not yet run optimally and is not integrated across all units. A change is needed to optimize the implementation of mentorship activities by strengthening the roles and functions of nurse managers. Objective to optimize mentorship implementation in the NICU by strengthening nurse managers’ roles to enhance clinical competence and structured learning. This was a pilot project. The process started with problem identification, problem analysis, priority setting, preparation of a Plan of Action, implementation, and evaluation using Lewin’s change theory approach. The implementation of mentorship in the NICU showed an increase in clinical learning activities, with mentees beginning to independently carry out self-reflection without direct supervision. Mentors also felt assisted in monitoring mentee development through the provided guidelines and documentation formats. The head nurse and team leaders supported this program and were ready to facilitate its sustainability. Strengthening managerial roles improved mentorship implementation, increased mentee reflection, and enhanced mentor monitoring. With strong managerial support and clear documentation, mentorship can be sustainably integrated into institutional competency programs.
