Abstract

Respiratory disorders remain the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in children under 5 years of age worldwide. Pneumonia and asthma are part of this. To reduce pediatric mortality, valid and reliable instruments are needed to guide the further treatment process appropriately. This systematic review aimed to identify the sensitivity and specificity of the Respiratory Index of Severity in Children (RISC) and Test for Respiratory and Asthma Control in Kids (TRACK) instruments in children with pneumonia and asthma. The study was conducted by searching articles from the online databases PubMed, Scopus, JSTOR, ProQuest, Science Direct, and EBSCOhost from 2015 to 2025. Two reviewers independently assessed the study quality using QUADAS-2. Of the 969 articles found, 6 articles were selected for  analysis. The RISC instrument obtained various sensitivity values with a cut-off ≥3, namely 21.3% to 94.1% and specificity values of 73.6% to 89.51%. In the TRACK instrument, the sensitivity values ranged from 75.6% to 81.4% and the specificity values ranged from 70.9% to 80.0% using a cut-off of 80. Both instruments can be used to assess the severity and mortality risk of childhood pneumonia and the assessment of asthma symptoms and control in children.

Abstract

Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Systemic inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis, plaque rupture, and thrombosis. The Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) and Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) are novel biomarkers that may support early risk stratification, but data from Indonesia are limited. Objective to assess the association between SII, SIRI, and MACE in AMI patients at Adam Malik Hospital, Medan. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a total sampling technique, including 224 AMI patients hospitalized from January–December 2023. SII and SIRI were calculated from neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, and platelet counts. MACE during hospitalization was recorded. Mann–Whitney U and logistic regression were used (p < 0.05). Of 224 patients, 79.5% were male with a mean age of 56.49 years. STEMI accounted for 63.8% of cases, and hypertriglyceridemia was the most common comorbidity (27.2%). MACE occurred in 57 patients (25.4%), including 15 deaths (6.7%). Mean SII was 1090.52 and mean SIRI was 3.83. Both SII (p = 0.002) and SIRI (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with MACE. SIRI predicted MACE with an OR of 1.233 (95% CI: 1.151–1.320). SII and SIRI are significantly associated with MACE in AMI, but only SIRI shows predictive value for adverse outcomes.

Abstract

Helminthic infections in primary school children can contribute to nutritional problems. One commonly used indicator of children's nutritional status is Body Mass Index (BMI). This study aimed to describe the Body Mass Index (BMI) and the prevalence of intestinal helminth infections among primary school children in Amanuban Barat Subdistrict. This study was conducted in Amanuban Barat Subdistrict, South Central Timor Regency (TTS), in 2023. The research employed a quantitative descriptive design to explore the BMI status and the incidence of intestinal helminth infections among primary school children. A total of 80 students were selected using purposive sampling. Data collection involved stool examination, anthropometric measurements (height and weight), BMI calculation, and descriptive data analysis. The results showed that stool examination revealed 83% negative and 17% positive for helminth infections. The average BMI among students was 15.37, with a maximum of 20.27, a minimum of 12.77, and a standard deviation of 1.47. The average nutritional status was categorized as severely underweight. Among the 80 students, 42 underwent stool examination, and 12 were found to be positive for helminth infections. Of those 12 infected students, 10 (83.3%) had a BMI indicating severely underweight, and 2 (16.7%) were underweight. The average BMI of primary school children in this study indicated a severely underweight nutritional status. There were 12 students infected with helminths, with the majority of them showing signs of poor nutritional status.

Abstract

The transition of newly graduated nurses into high-intensity environments such as Intensive Care Units (ICU) presents significant challenges, often resulting in psychological stress and a gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical practice. To bridge this gap, a structured and systematic orientation approach is essential. One proven method is preceptorship, in which senior nurses act as clinical mentors to support new nurses in their professional adaptation. This approach facilitates the development of professional identity, enhancement of clinical competence, and gradual internalization of a patient safety culture. Objective: To evaluate and strengthen the roles of head nurses and primary nurses in mentoring newly graduated nurses to optimize ICU orientation and enhance patient safety.  A pilot project method was applied, beginning with problem identification, problem analysis, priority setting, development of a Plan of Action, implementation, and evaluation. The implementation of a preceptorship-based orientation program, supported by clear guidelines and checklists, improved the effectiveness of clinical mentoring by Primary Nurses in the ICU. Through a systematic change approach, the program successfully strengthened the role of preceptors, accelerated the adaptation of new nurses, and fostered a sustainable clinical learning culture. The preceptorship-based orientation program effectively facilitated the transition of newly graduated nurses into the ICU setting by enhancing clinical competence, confidence, and professional adaptation. Strengthening the role of preceptors and implementing structured guidelines fostered a supportive learning environment, reduced the theory–practice gap, and promoted a sustainable culture of patient safety and continuous professional development.

Abstract

The Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT) is a non-invasive technique for clearing the airways. It consists of three main components: breathing control, thoracic expansion, and forced expiration techniques (huffing and coughing). This method is used in patients with lung disorders to reduce congestion, help expel secretions, increase oxygen flow to the lungs, and restore respiratory muscle function. This study aims to compare ACBT therapy in COPD patients with sputum excretion and airway clearance. A systematic review was conducted on 8 research articles from various databases such as ScienceDirect, Clinical Key, EBSCOhost, ProQuest, Sage Journals, Scopus, Cocharane, Mendeley. The selected research design used a randomized controlled trial and quasi-experimental between 2009 - 2023 with a sampling technique using purposive sampling, which discussed ACBT in COPD patients. Data were collected through a database search using the keywords (“Active Cycle of Breathing Technique” OR “ACBT”) AND (“Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease” OR “COPD”). From 112 identified articles, 8 met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Tool for quality assessment. The majority of studies have shown that ACBT significantly contributes to increased expected sputum volume, improved lung function (FEV1/FVC), increased oxygen saturation, and patient comfort and satisfaction. However, there are also some studies that show similar effectiveness between ACBT and other techniques such as the Flutter device or conventional therapy. ACBT is an effective, safe, and easy-to-do intervention, and can be an important part of the nursing management of COPD patients, especially in terms of airway clearance. The findings of this study support systematic data from previous studies on the impact of using ACBT to improve short-term airway secretion clearance. The effectiveness of ACBT in increasing the amount of sputum produced.

Abstract

Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality that is often found in geriatrics. Inappropriate medication use in geriatrics will have a greater negative impact. The occurrence of Drug-related problems (DPRs) in the category of appropriate antihypertensive drug selection is one of the factors that can cause failure to achieve blood pressure targets in geriatrics , due to physiological, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic changes, as well as complications and polypharmacy in geriatrics. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the appropriateness of antihypertensive drug selection and the achievement of blood pressure targets in geriatric patients at the Mojogedang Community Health Center. This study was a descriptive study using an analytical cross-sectional observational design. The variables in this study consisted of the independent variable, namely the appropriateness of antihypertensive drug selection, and the dependent variable, namely the achievement of geriatric blood pressure targets. Sampling used a purposive sampling technique . The samples taken must meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a total of 12 patients were eligible for sampling in this study. The results of the study showed that the results of Hypertension patients at the Mojogedang Community Health Center which were the research sample were dominated by Stage 2 Hypertension patients, namely 91.67%, while the remaining 8.33% entered Stage 1 Hypertension. The next data reported in this study was the accuracy of antihypertensive selection and the achievement of blood pressure targets. As many as 83.33% of patients who were samples in this study had received the right antihypertensive and 75% of patients were able to achieve blood pressure targets, so that statistically it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the accuracy of antihypertensive selection and the achievement of blood pressure targets (p value = 0.007).

Abstract

Hypertension is a global health problem and a significant contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension is increasing due to demographic and epidemiological changes. Multifactorial factors such as age, gender, body mass index, population density, and level of industrialization, this risk is especially seen in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). To assess demographic (age, gender), anthropometric (BMI), and environmental factors and their contribution to the prevalence of hypertension in patients in Gatak District, Sukoharjo Regency. A large-scale case-control study involving secondary data was conducted. Data were accessed from the Gatak Community Health Center management system (SIMPUS). The case group consisted of patients with T2DM and secondary hypertension. The control group consisted of patients who underwent routine check-ups (ICD-10: Z00) without hypertension and diabetes. Participants were selected through specific procedures and inclusion criteria were age 18 years and above and complete medical records, a total of 1,108 participants were analyzed using chi-square and t-test, followed by multivariate logistic regression. The majority of participants were women (65.2%), aged > 45 years (56.4%), and had normal body weight (63%). Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥ 45 years significantly increased the risk of hypertension (p=0.000), and being overweight was also associated with an increased risk (p=0.000). However, gender, population density, and the presence of a manufacturing industry were not significantly associated with hypertension. The most significant predictors of hypertension were age and body mass index, while environment and gender were not associated.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major health problem in Indonesia, the city of Surakarta reporting a prevalence of 78.65% among non communicable diseases in 2023. Cases are also found in university students. They are vulnerable to unhealthy lifestyle changes, such as high salt (sodium) intake and low activity levels. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the salt intake and physical activity with hypertension among university students in Surakarta. A cross-sectional study involved 106 students selected by purposive sampling. Blood pressure was measured with a digital sphygmomanometer, salt intake were assessed with the SQFFQ, and physical activity was measured with the IPAQ. Data were analyzed using Spearman Rank and Binary Logistic Regression tests. The results showed that there was a significant association between salt intake and physical activity with hypertension (p = 0.001). The Negelkerke R Square result showed 0.287, indicating that students with high salt intake and low activity levels had an increased risk of hypertension. In conclusion, high salt intake and low physical activity significantly contribute to 28.7% of hypertension cases. Students are advised to reduced salt consumption and regular physical activity to promote a healthier lifestyle.

Abstract

Adolescents represent a population group that requires specific health services, as they face various challenges including nutritional issues, reproductive health, and mental health. The Adolescent Integrated program by Indonesia Goverment was established as a community-based health service aimed at improving adolescents’ knowledge and awareness regarding health promotion and disease prevention. This study aimed to describe the level of knowledge of adolescents regarding the Posyandu Remaja's program in the working area of Baki Public Health Center, Sukoharjo Regency. This research employed a descriptive quantitative design. A total of 99 adolescent respondents participated, all of whom were selected using total sampling techniques. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire consisting of 20 items (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.912). Univariate analysis was used to determine the distribution of respondents’ characteristics and knowledge levels. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (77.8%), while 20.2% demonstrated good knowledge, and only 2.0% were categorized as having low knowledge. Most respondents were female adolescents aged 15 years, predominantly with a junior high school education, and the majority regularly attended Posyandu activities. These results indicate that while basic information has been delivered, adolescents’ understanding of the Posyandu program remains at a general level.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a global health challenge, especially related to low patient adherence to treatment. This non-adherence can lead to drug resistance, recurrence, and the wider spread of the disease. Health coaching interventions, especially those based on psychosocial approaches such as the GROW model, have developed as a potential strategy in improving health behaviors. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness of health coaching interventions on the medication adherence of TB patients. This systematic review was conducted on seven quantitative articles (RCTs and quasi-experiments) focusing on health coaching interventions in TB patients, with or without telenursing support. The literature was selected based on inclusion criteria including adult TB patients, health coaching interventions, and measurement of compliance outcomes. Data were extracted narratively based on design, sample size, location, instruments, key outcomes, and nurse roles. Most studies showed that health coaching interventions significantly improved medication adherence (with a p-value < 0.05). The GROW model is the most commonly used approach. The intervention was carried out face-to-face and dominated by the active role of the nurse as a coach. Although there was variation in duration and frequency, interventions over 4-8 weeks showed a positive impact. Health coaching is effective in improving TB treatment adherence. The role of nurses as coaches has proven to be crucial in the process of changing patient behavior.
