Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen and a major cause of nosocomial infections, characterized by high resistance to multiple antibiotics. The success of its colonization and virulence is influenced by resistance factors such as the adeB gene and nutrient acquisition factors such as the basD gene. This study aimed to detect the presence of adeB and basD genes in lung tissue of Rattus norvegicus intravenously injected with clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. Six healthy female rats were divided into treatment groups with observation periods of 10 hours and 18 hours post-infection. Lung tissues were collected for DNA extraction, followed by PCR amplification using specific primers for adeB (549 bp) and basD (533 bp). Gel electrophoresis results showed that both genes were clearly detected in the bacterial isolate positive control, but not in lung tissue samples post-infection. The failure of detection in tissue samples is likely influenced by the low bacterial load, host-dependent regulation of gene expression, and the presence of PCR inhibitors derived from lung tissue. These findings indicate that although adeB and basD play crucial roles in resistance and virulence, their presence in host tissues is not always detectable by conventional PCR. Therefore, more sensitive detection methods are required for molecular analysis in in vivo models.

Abstract

Mental health remains a major global concern, as many physical and emotional health problems stem from unrecognized psychological disturbances. Postpartum depression (PPD) is among the most common mental health conditions affecting women after childbirth, with a global prevalence of depression and anxiety estimated at 15.6% during pregnancy and 19.8% during the postpartum period. This study aimed to identify the risk and protective factors associated with postpartum depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). A cross-sectional study was conducted among 58 postpartum mothers in the Gerokgak II Health Centre working area, Buleleng, Bali. Data were collected using a validated EPDS questionnaire consisting of 10 items assessing depressive symptoms over the past two weeks. The sampling technique used was total sampling, considering the limited number of postpartum mothers in the study area. Data were analyzed using logistic regression to determine significant predictors of postpartum depression.  The findings revealed that 7 mothers (12.7%) experienced postpartum depression. Maternal age was identified as a significant risk factor (p = 0.02, OR = 1.52), indicating that older mothers were more likely to develop postpartum depression. Conversely, the number of children (parity) acted as a protective factor (p = 0.04, OR = 0.032), suggesting that mothers with more children were less likely to experience depressive symptoms. Other variables such as age at marriage, reproductive age category, domicile, and employment status were not significantly associated (p > 0.05). Postpartum depression should not be regarded as a minor issue, as it can significantly affect maternal and infant well-being. Strengthening family and community support is essential to ensure early detection and effective prevention of postpartum depression.

Abstract

This study is to shed light on how nurses in hospitals apply the International Patient Safety Goals (IPSGs) and examine how they might be applied as evidence based procedures to assist hospitals in raising patient safety dan quality of care. This review aims to clarify the implementation of IPSGs by nurses and analyze them as evidence based practices to improve safety and high quality hospital care. This study used a scoping review method, articles collected from Google Scholar and GARUDA portal database. Articles reviewed were published between 2020 and 2025. Out of 126 articles screened, 13 eligible articles were included for review. Findings revealed that the implementation of IPSGs by nurses to prevent patient safety incidents in hospitals includes: nurses’ knowledge of patient safety procedures, nurses’ attitudes in implementing patient safety, facilities and infrastructure supporting patient safety goals, regulations related to patient safety, peer support, and leadership support in patient safety practices. Nurses as the dominant healthcare professionals who are in direct contact with patients, hold a crucial role in implementing patient safety.

Abstract

Number of elderly across the world is increasing over the year.  Among the elderly, physical and biological changes along with increasing number of diseases contribute to multiple medications. Polypharmacy in geriatric patients increases the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Objective: This study aims to evaluate polypharmacy and potential DDIs occurrence among geriatric outpatients. A Retrospective observational study was conducted in Geriatric Outpatient Clinic at Wangaya Regional General Hospital. Data was collected using medical records from May – June 2025. DDIs were identified and classified using Lexicomp Drug Interactions database. Data distribution and statistical analyzes were performed using Spearman correlation test. Statistical hypothesis tests with p-value  less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. This study involves 167 patients. Majority of the patients (47.3%) are in the young elderly group. Among the patients, 50.3% was considered as minor polypharmacy, 44.9% as major polypharmacy, and 1.2% as excessive polypharmacy. Most of DDIs type found in our study was Type C DDIs (45.9%) followed by Type B (31.9%). We found a statistically significant association between number of comorbidities, polypharmacy and DDIs. High prevalence and significant correlation were found between polypharmacy and potential occurrence of DDIs were found among geriatric outpatients. The finding of this study indicates the need for further research to develop strategies that can reduce the occurrence of polypharmacy and DDIs.

Abstract

Adolescence is a crucial transitional phase in individual development, characterized by physical, emotional, cognitive, and social changes. During this period, adolescents begin to form their self-identity, seek independence, and often experience conflicts with authority figures, particularly with parents. Parenting style refers to the approach or pattern used by parents to educate, guide, and shape their children’s behavior and character. This study aims to explore the implementation of parenting styles within families toward adolescent development at St. Angela Senior High School, Atambua, East Nusa Tenggara. This research employed a qualitative phenomenological design using in-depth interviews. The participants consisted of 10 individuals: five parents (either father or mother) who have adolescent children aged 13–18 years, and five adolescent participants who are raised by these parents. The study identified nine emerging themes: (1) Parental perspectives on raising adolescents; (2) Core values and principles in parenting; (3) Adolescents’ freedom in decision-making; (4) Conflict management and handling differences of opinion; (5) The nature of parent–child relationships; (6) Adolescents’ perceptions of parental understanding of their needs; (7) Perceptions of parental trust and autonomy; (8) Parental responses to children’s mistakes; and (9) Adolescents’ perceptions of parenting styles.Parenting styles-authoritarian, authoritative  (democratic), and permissive-serve as the foundation for how parents nurture their adolescent children. Among these, the authoritative style is found to be the most adaptive and psychologically healthy for adolescent development.

Abstract

Length of Stay (LOS) is a key determinant influencing inpatient care costs and serves as an important indicator of hospital service quality. The duration of hospitalization is affected by multiple factors. This study aims to identify the factors associated with the length of stay among patients with stroke. This research employed a scoping review approach using the databases Elsevier Scopus, Google Scholar, and Academia.edu. The review process consisted of the following stages: (1) identifying the research question, (2) identifying relevant articles, (3) screening articles, (4) data charting, (5) summarizing the findings, and (6) consultation. A total of 640 articles were initially selected based on title, abstract, content, and relevance to the inclusion criteria and objectives of this study. Following the screening process, next step was to analyze the 12 selected journals using the JBI Critical Appraisal tool. The inclusion criteria were full-text articles focusing on factors associated with the length of hospital stay in stroke patients, involving populations and samples of stroke patients aged over 18 years and/or their family members. This scoping review identified several factors associated with the length of hospital stay among stroke patients, including patient characteristics, comorbidities, stroke type, management strategies, complications, stroke symptoms, and smoking history, all of which may contribute to shorter hospitalization duration. The length of hospital stay among stroke patients may vary depending on multiple influencing factors. Further comprehensive studies are recommended to explore in greater depth the impact of these factors on hospitalization duration among stroke patients.

Abstract

Maternal and neonatal mortality remain significant public health challenges in Indonesia, particularly in regions with limited access to health services. This study presents the MONITA (Monitoring Ibu dan Bayi Tanggap Darurat) application, an Android-based platform designed to enhance early detection of maternal and neonatal complications and strengthen emergency response coordination. MONITA integrates a rule-based screening module following WHO standards, real-time GPS tracking, automatic emergency notifications, and a spatial dashboard for monitoring critical cases. The development process involved system architecture design, UI/UX implementation, prototype testing, and integration of local health data. Preliminary deployment demonstrated that MONITA enables faster identification of high-risk cases, improves communication between field health workers and referral facilities, and supports timely decision-making in emergency situations. The application has the potential to contribute to reducing maternal and neonatal mortality rates and optimizing emergency care in remote or resource-limited areas.

Abstract

Indonesia, particularly Bangka Belitung Province, is one of the world's largest tin producers, supporting exports and state revenue. Tin smelting activities (smelters) are a vital part of this metal's production chain. The focus of this research is on production activities, tailings disposal, and chemical refining, which have the potential to cause environmental pollution and health risksThis research is important to provide evidence-based insights into environmental and occupational hazards of tin smelting, enabling targeted mitigation strategies and promoting sustainable industrial practices without compromising public health or environmental integrity. This study used descriptive field observation methods at the tin smelter in June 2025, focusing on the production process, waste management, and occupational safety practices. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with workers, OHS officers, and operational managers. The data were then analyzed qualitatively to identify and describe potential environmental pollution and occupational health risks. This study confirms that tin mining activities, from land clearing to refining, have significant impacts on the environment, public health, and occupational safety. Soil, water, and air pollution from solid and liquid waste and exposure to heavy metals have been proven to threaten the sustainability of the ecosystem and the socio-economic well-being of surrounding communities. Furthermore, mine workers face a high risk of occupational diseases and physical and mental stress. Therefore, a comprehensive mitigation strategy is needed through the implementation of waste management technology, strict OHS standards, environmental quality monitoring, and public health education. These efforts are key to balancing tin industry productivity with sustainable development principles.

Abstract

Tetanus Toxoid (TT) immunization is a vital intervention for preventing maternal and neonatal tetanus. However, achieving complete TT immunization among pregnant women presents an ongoing challenge in various settings, notably within the Pangenan Health Center area of Cirebon Regency. Compliance with this preventive measure is hypothesized to be influenced by factors such as the performance of healthcare workers, maternal motivation, and the frequency of antenatal care (ANC) visits.This quantitative, cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between these three factors and the completeness of TT immunization in the Pangenan Health Center's service area. Data were collected from 36 pregnant women selected via accidental sampling and analyzed using the Chi-square test (with a significance level of α = 0.05).The findings indicated that 55.6% of the participants had received complete TT immunization. Bivariate analysis demonstrated statistically significant associations between complete TT immunization and: healthcare workers’ roles (ρ = 0.022), maternal motivation (ρ = 0.040), and ANC visit frequency  (ρ = 0.009). In conclusion, the study established a significant relationship between the roles of healthcare workers, maternal motivation, and the frequency of ANC visits and the completeness of TT immunization among pregnant women. To improve immunization coverage, the study recommends enhancing behavioral education, strengthening the capacity of healthcare providers, and ensuring optimal utilization of ANC services.

Abstract

Hospitalization can cause anxiety in children due to unfamiliar environments, the sound of medical devices, and frightening procedures. This condition causes children to feel scared, cry, have trouble sleeping, and refuse medical treatment, thus hindering the healing process. One of the nonpharmacological interventions that can be used to reduce anxiety is music therapy, because music has a relaxing, calming, and fun effect on children. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of children's music therapy on changes in anxiety levels during hospitalization.  The research design used a quasi-experimental approach with a one group pretest-posttest approach on 10 children treated in the children's room of Indriati Hospital. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The intervention was given for three days with two sessions per day using selected children's music such as Cocomelon, Cicak-cicak di dinding, and Baby Shark. Anxiety levels were measured using the Facial Image Scale (FIS) and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The Wilcoxon test showed values of (Z = -6.797; p < 0.001), which means that there was a significant difference between anxiety levels before and after music therapy. The average anxiety score decreased from 4.53 (severe anxiety) to 2.17 (not anxious). Children's music therapy is effective in reducing anxiety levels during hospitalization and can be used as a nonpharmacological intervention in pediatric nursing care.
