Abstract

Gastric ulcers are a common gastrointestinal disorder affecting millions worldwide, with complications contributing to high hospitalisation rates. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, particularly IL-1β, play a key role in the inflammatory response and ulcer development. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of Centella asiatica ethanolic extract (CAEE) on indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats, focusing on IL-1β expression. An experimental study was conducted on 18 adult male Wistar rats divided into six groups: negative control (NC), positive controls (PC1 for 24 hours and PC8 for 8 days), and three treatment groups receiving CAEE at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kgBW (T1–T3). Gastric ulcers were induced with indomethacin (30 mg/kgBW), followed by seven days of CAEE administration. Gastric tissue was evaluated histologically using hematoxylin–eosin staining and immunohistochemically for IL-1β expression. Quantitative analysis was performed with ImageJ, and data were statistically tested using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. Results:Indomethacin significantly increased IL-1β expression in the gastric mucosa (p=0.000). CAEE at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kgBW significantly reduced IL-1β expression compared with the PC8 group (p<0.05), with the strongest suppression at 400 mg/kgBW. Conclusions: CAEE demonstrates a dose-dependent anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing IL-1β expression, suggesting its therapeutic potential in gastric ulcer management.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health concern, with children representing a substantial proportion of cases. Diagnosis in paediatric populations is challenging due to non-specific clinical features and limited bacteriological confirmation, making chest radiography and molecular rapid tests essential. This study aimed to evaluate the association between chest radiographic abnormalities and molecular rapid test results in paediatric pulmonary TB patients. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital from January to May 2025, involving 60 children diagnosed with pulmonary TB. Data were collected through consecutive sampling, comprising demographic characteristics, chest radiographic findings, and molecular rapid test (GeneXpert). Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test to evaluate diagnostic parameters. Results: Among 60 patients (46.7% male; mean age 10 years), 48.3% showed abnormal chest radiographs, predominantly infiltrates (60%) and pleural effusion (23.3%). GeneXpert results were evenly distributed, with 30 positive and 30 negative cases. A significant association was found between radiographic abnormalities and molecular test results (p < 0.001). Diagnostic parameters for radiographs included sensitivity 0%, specificity 3.3%, and accuracy PPV 0% and NPV 3,2%. Chest radiography is useful for initial paediatric TB screening but less accurate than molecular tests.

Abstract

Excessive use of gadgets, especially among adolescents, can reduce physical activity (AF) and increase sedentary behavior. This condition causes various physical and psychological health problems. Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of Banjar local wisdom on adolescent AF in reducing the negative impacts of gadget use through the Health Promotion Model (HPM). A quasi-experimental design with a control group involving 60 adolescents in Banjar Regency, Indonesia. Proportional random sampling was used to determine that the intervention group (n=30) received education and direct practice of traditional Banjar games (Balogo, Egrang, Hadang). In contrast, the control group (n=30) received education through posters. AF, along with personal factors, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to AF (HPM constructs), were measured before and after the intervention using a questionnaire and analyzed with the Wilcoxon Test and the Mann-Whitney Test. The results showed a significant increase in all variables in the intervention group (p = 0.001). The control group also showed a substantial increase in AF (p = 0.001) and knowledge (p = 0.001), but the increase was smaller than that of the intervention group. These findings suggest that integrating Banjar local wisdom into AF interventions can effectively promote a healthy lifestyle among adolescents. The HPM framework provides a valuable approach to understanding and facilitating behavior change. Further research is needed to explore this intervention's long-term effects and broader applicability.

Abstract

Postpartum maternal mental health is a crucial aspect that significantly affects the well-being of both mother and infant. This period is often accompanied by physical, psychological, and social changes that may lead to depression, anxiety, and stress. If left unaddressed, these problems can interfere with mother–infant bonding, the quality of childcare, and the child's overall development. Family support, particularly from husbands, parents, and other household members, plays an important protective role by helping mothers adapt to their new role, reducing the risk of psychological problems, and strengthening maternal confidence in caring for the baby. This study aims to examine the relationship between family support and postpartum maternal mental health through a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA framework, covering publications from 2020 to 2025. From an initial total of 1,435 articles, 13 met the eligibility criteria and were included in the analysis. The analysis indicates that mothers with strong family support tend to have more stable mental health, whereas insufficient support increases vulnerability to depression and anxiety. In conclusion, family support has a significant influence on maintaining maternal mental health after childbirth. Therefore, family-based interventions should become a central focus in nursing and midwifery practice to enhance the quality of life of both mothers and infants.

Abstract

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematologic malignancy in children. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are simple inflammatory biomarkers that may serve as prognostic and therapeutic response indicators. The aim of this research is to evaluate the differences in NLR and PLR before and after induction chemotherapy and to determine optimal cut-off values for predicting treatment response in pediatric ALL patients. An observational analytic study with a retrospective design was conducted on 48 pediatric ALL patients at Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Data were obtained from medical records between January 2023 and December 2024. Consecutive sampling was applied on this study. The Wilcoxon test was applied to assess differences in NLR and PLR, while ROC analysis was used to determine cut-off values, sensitivity, and specificity. Most patients were under 10 years of age (66.7%) and male (58.3%). Following induction chemotherapy, 87.5% achieved complete remission. Significant differences in NLR and PLR were observed before and after therapy (p<0,001). The optimal cut-off for NLR was 2.33 (sensitivity 45.2%, specificity 83.3%), while for PLR it was 219.98 (sensitivity 42.9%, specificity 83.3%). NLR and PLR significantly changed after induction chemotherapy in pediatric ALL patients. Despite limited sensitivity, both markers may serve as simple hematological tools for evaluating treatment response.

Abstract

Bronchopneumonia is a lower respiratory tract infection that frequently leads to impaired gas exchange and hypoxemia in children. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as body positioning, play a crucial role in nursing management. Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory offers a holistic approach by addressing physical, psychospiritual, environmental, and social dimensions to enhance patient comfort. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various body positions in improving oxygen saturation among pediatric patients with bronchopneumonia through the lens of Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory. This systematic review followed the PRISMA guidelines and utilized PubMed and Google Scholar databases to identify relevant studies published between 2020 and 2024. The search was guided by the PICO framework with keywords including body positioning, semi-Fowler position, oxygen saturation, bronchopneumonia, pediatric patients, and Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory. From 400 initially retrieved articles, 120 duplicates were removed, leaving 280 for screening. Titles and abstracts were reviewed for relevance, and 25 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility based on inclusion criteria. After applying these criteria, 10 studies were included for detailed analysis. Each selected study was then critically appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Tools to assess methodological quality, data validity, and alignment with Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory. Analysis of the 10 included studies demonstrated that body positioning interventions (such as semi-Fowler’s, right lateral, and semi-recumbent positions) were significantly effective in increasing oxygen saturation (SpO₂) in children with bronchopneumonia. Based on Kolcaba’s theory, body positioning not only enhances physical comfort by optimizing ventilation but also reduces anxiety (psychospiritual dimension) and improves environmental comfort. Body positioning is an effective nursing intervention for improving oxygen saturation in pediatric patients with bronchopneumonia. The application of Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory underscores that the effectiveness of this intervention is mediated through the multidimensional enhancement of patient comfort.

Abstract

The Australian Triage Scale (ATS) is a five-level system widely used in emergency departments (EDs) to categorize patients by urgency and ensure timely care. While ATS has improved efficiency and outcomes in many settings, concerns remain regarding its accuracy, reliability, and applicability across diverse populations. This narrative review aimed to evaluate the accuracy, reliability, predictive validity, and implementation challenges of ATS in global emergency care. Methods: This review followed a structured and systematic literature selection process. A comprehensive search was conducted across six major databases (Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and SINTA) for studies published between 2010 and 2024. After duplicate removal, titles and abstracts were screened, followed by full-text reviews based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Methodological quality and relevance were assessed, and 25 studies were included in the final narrative synthesis. These studies were analyzed according to key themes, including accuracy, reliability, predictive validity, training interventions, and implementation challenges of the Australian Triage Scale in emergency departments. Results: Evidence showed that ATS improves outcomes such as reduced mortality and shorter ED length of stay in some contexts. Predictive validity was strongest for high-acuity patients, with a clear mortality gradient across categories. However, reliability was only slight to moderate (κ = 0.25–0.45), particularly weak in pediatric, psychiatric, and elderly trauma patients. Under-triage was frequent in gastrointestinal bleeding and geriatric trauma, while over-triage was noted in neonates and parental anxiety-driven cases. Training interventions increased accuracy up to 88.4% but decayed without reinforcement. System challenges included overcrowding, variable audit practices, and inconsistent application across hospitals. Comparative reviews found ATS effective overall but less consistent than ESI or MTS in children. A total of 25 studies met the inclusion criteria and were synthesized narratively. ATS remains a core triage framework in emergency care. Its strengths include structured prioritization and outcome prediction in adult populations, but limitations persist in special groups and resource-limited settings. Continuous training, adaptation, and decision-support integration are essential for sustaining accuracy and safety.

Abstract

Caring is a core dimension of nursing practice, yet it varies significantly across regions and health systems. In Indonesia, approximately 35% of nurses exhibit poor caring behaviors, and Panti Wilasa dr. Cipto Hospital continues to receive complaints regarding the quality of nurse care. Objective to evaluate the effect of MEMO (Motivation, Enrichment, Mentoring, Operant Conditioning) intervention on nurses' caring behavior at Panti Wilasa dr Cipto Hospital Quasi-experimental quantitative study with One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design as many as 122 nurses with ≥ 8 years of service were selected through purposive sampling. MEMO intervention was implemented for three weeks. Caring behavior was evaluated before and after the intervention using valid observation instruments based on Swanson's Caring Theory. Data were analyzed by Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test due to non-normal distribution of data. Component effects were evaluated through ANOVA. Caring behavior scores significantly increased from a mean of 16.06 before the intervention to 18.14 after the intervention (p = 0.000). All MEMO components significantly influenced caring behavior: Motivation (F = 12.984, p = 0.000), Enrichmnet (F = 11.778, p = 0.001), Mentoring (F = 9.763, p = 0.002), and Operant Conditoning (F = 8.201, p = 0.005).MEMO intervention effectively and significantly improved nurses' caring behavior.

Abstract

Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) has emerged as an advancement in minimally invasive gynecology, particularly in hysterectomy for benign and oncologic indications. Compared with laparoscopy and laparotomy, RALS offers enhanced visualization, dexterity, and precision, though concerns remain regarding cost, operative time, and outcomes. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RALS compared with conventional laparoscopy or laparotomy for hysterectomy, focusing on perioperative, oncologic, and patient-centered outcomes. Method: The review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A database search of PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Taylor & Francis identified 752 records. After removal of duplicates and screening, 70 full-text articles were assessed, and 4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) met the eligibility criteria and were included. Study selection involved independent screening by two reviewers, with disagreements resolved by consensus. Data extraction used a standardized template capturing study design, population characteristics, interventions, comparators, and outcomes. Given heterogeneity across studies, a narrative synthesis approach was applied. Four RCTs were included, encompassing benign hysterectomy, low-grade and high-risk endometrial cancer, and early-stage cervical cancer. RALS showed lower conversion rates and comparable complications. Operative times were longer, but perioperative outcomes were favorable. Long-term follow-up suggested improved survival in endometrial cancer, though findings remain inconsistent. Patient-reported outcomes were generally equivalent. RALS is a safe and effective alternative with selective advantages, though longer operative time and higher costs limit adoption. Further large-scale RCTs and cost-effectiveness studies are needed.
