Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are chronic diseases that are not transmitted between individuals. The course of these diseases generally progresses slowly, influenced by a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral factors. This study aims to analyze the relationship between lifestyle, physical activity, and exercise and the incidence of NCDs. This study used a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted from August to September 2025 at the Ciloto Health Training Center of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. The population in this study was all 159 employees, and a sample of 141 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire with an r value in the range of 0.476-0.87 (valid) and a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.97 (reliable). Data analysis used the chi-square test. The results showed a relationship between lifestyle, physical activity, and exercise and the incidence of NCDs among BBPK Ciloto employees of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia.

Abstract

Hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) are two important parameters in clinical hematology that reflect the body's ability to carry oxygen. Smoking is known to affect these parameters due to the exposure to carbon monoxide, which causes hypoxia and stimulates the production of more red blood cells. This phenomenon represents a significant health issue globally, including among employees in Indonesia, where smoking is common. The aim of this study is to investigate the difference in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels between active smokers and non-smokers among non-medical employees at RS Bhayangkara Tulungagung. This observational study used a cross-sectional design. A total of 30 respondents, consisting of 15 active smokers and 15 non-smokers, were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Data were collected through smoking behavior questionnaires and laboratory blood tests using a hematology analyzer. Statistical analysis was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and Mann-Whitney U test to examine differences between the two groups. The average hemoglobin level in active smokers was 15.98 g/dl, which was higher compared to non-smokers at 15.03 g/dl. Similarly, the average hematocrit level in smokers was 50.40%, higher than in non-smokers at 44.91%. Mann-Whitney test results indicated significant differences between the two groups for both hemoglobin (p = 0.020) and hematocrit (p = 0.004). There are significant differences in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels between active smokers and non-smokers. Active smokers tend to have higher levels of Hb and Hct as a response to the hypoxia caused by carbon monoxide exposure from cigarette smoke.

Abstract

Assessment of the remaining life of a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) that has been in operation for 24 years is crucial to ensure operational reliability, with the ASME FFS-1/API 579 standard as the primary reference. Analyze the material condition and assess the remaining life of HRSG Unit 2 based on the ASME FFS-1/API 579 standard. Data were collected through Non-Destructive Testing (UTM, LPT, MPT, UFD), visual inspection, borescope examination, and in-situ metallurgical tests to obtain microstructure and hardness profiles. The analysis was conducted by comparing inspection results with design specifications, evaluating microstructural changes, assessing hardness degradation, calculating remaining wall thickness, and performing fitness-for-service assessment according to ASME FFS-1/API 579. No significant cracks were found, but there was material thinning of up to 16.6% in some areas. The material condition is still good and meets design standards. The estimated remaining operational life is 10–15 years. HRSG Unit 2 is declared safe and reliable to operate. The ASME-based assessment method has been proven effective for estimating the remaining life and supporting a risk-based maintenance strategy.

Abstract

Underweight among children aged 24-59 months is a key indicator of malnutrition and remains a public health issue in Indonesia. Various factors contribute to underweight, including household smoking habits and sanitation conditions. Exposure to cigarette smoke indoors increases the risk of acute respiratory infections (ARI), leading to nutritional deficiencies and impaired growth in children. Additionally, poor sanitation particularly limited access to clean water and inadequate toilet facilities contributes to a higher incidence of diarrheal diseases, which directly affect weight loss in children. This study uses a systematic review method, which aims to analyze the relationship between smoking habits in the home and household sanitation with the incidence of underweight in children aged 24-59 months. The systematic review was conducted by examining 30 scientific journals discussing risk factors for underweight in children, particularly those related to smoking habits in the home and sanitation conditions. The analyzed journals were obtained from various academic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SINTA (Science and Technology Index), with a publication period between 2013-2024.The findings indicate that children living in homes with smoking family members are more likely to experience underweight compared to those in smoke-free environments.

Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability, with disorders of consciousness (DoC) being a critical complication affecting 10–40% of acute stroke patients. Early recovery of consciousness is strongly associated with improved prognosis, reduced ICU stay, and better functional outcomes. Complementary nursing interventions, particularly sensory-based strategies, have emerged as low-risk approaches to enhance arousal and awareness in stroke patients. This narrative review aimed to synthesize evidence on complementary nursing interventions—specifically acupressure and multimodal sensory stimulation—to enhance consciousness in stroke patients. A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar (August–November 2025). From 316 identified records using keywords such as ‘stroke’, ‘consciousness’, ‘sensory stimulation’, and ‘acupressure’, ten eligible studies involving adult stroke patients were selected and synthesized narratively. The synthesis demonstrated that sensory-based interventions significantly improved Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores, often within three days, while remaining safe and feasible for nurse-led implementation. Beyond arousal, these interventions enhanced cognitive function and behavioral responsiveness through mechanisms involving stimulation of the reticular activating system. However, heterogeneity in protocols currently limits standardization. Complementary sensory interventions offer effective, low-risk strategies for holistic neurorehabilitation. This study contributes to science by establishing the clinical value of early, structured, and personalized sensory stimulation and advocating its integration into routine nursing protocols to optimize patient outcomes.

Abstract

Adolescence is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, characterised by high levels of curiosity that require positive guidance. Teenage pregnancy is a significant public health issue in many developing countries, including Indonesia. Teenage pregnancy can have various impacts on both the mother and the baby. Physically, adolescents are not ready to conceive or give birth, which makes them vulnerable to complications that can be fatal. This study aimed to explore the need for parental support in preventing teenage pregnancy among adolescents. A qualitative, phenomenological approach was used, involving three pregnant adolescents under the age of 18 in Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, transcribed, coded and analysed to identify patterns in the participants' experiences and perceptions. The results showed that adolescents need support from their parents in the form of emotional attention, intimacy, open communication, a harmonious home environment and guidance on reproductive health. Such support enables adolescents to feel safe and comfortable discussing personal issues, thereby reducing the risk of risky sexual behaviour and unwanted pregnancies. This study emphasises the importance of building “bridges” of communication and support between adolescents and parents as a strategy for preventing teenage pregnancy.

Abstract

Respiratory tract infections remain a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, making the enhancement of emergency prevention behaviors a critical focus of health promotion strategies. Electronic and print media are widely used for health education; however, their comparative effectiveness in influencing community behavior has not been comprehensively examined. This literature review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of electronic and print-based health promotion in improving emergency prevention behaviors related to respiratory tract infections. A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar for publications from 2020–2025, using the PICO framework and PRISMA guidelines. Search terms included the following keywords: Health Education, Electronic Media, Digital Media, Respiratory Infection, Acute Respiratory Infection, ARI, Emergency Prevention Behavior. The population included communities or families; the intervention comprised electronic media, the comparator was print media, and outcomes focused on emergency prevention behaviors related to acute respiratory infections. Of the 1,865 identified articles, 13 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed, with 10 undergoing critical appraisal using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools. Electronic media particularly educational videos, digital applications, and interactive messaging demonstrated greater effectiveness in improving knowledge, awareness, and rapid responses to danger signs. Print media remained beneficial for populations with limited access to technology and served as a reinforcement for educational messages. Both electronic and print-based health promotion strategies are effective; however, electronic media show superior influence on behavioral change.

Abstract

Dyslipidemia, a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, is characterized by abnormal lipid profiles. While conventional treatments exist, they often have side effects, leading to a growing interest in natural alternatives. Single-clove garlic (Allium sativum var. solo) contains bioactive compounds known for their antioxidant and lipid-lowering properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of single-clove garlic extract in improving the lipid profile, including total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and LDL, in dyslipidemic male Wistar rats. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was used with 24 male Wistar rats using purposive sampling. Dyslipidemia was induced with a high-fat diet for 40 days. The rats were divided into four groups: a positive control (simvastatin), a negative control, and two treatment groups receiving different doses of single-clove garlic extract. Lipid profiles were measured on days 7, 14, 21, and 28. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test. The administration of single-clove garlic extract significantly improved the lipid profile of the rats. Over 28 days, treatment groups showed a significant reduction in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL levels, while HDL levels increased. These changes were comparable to those observed in the positive control group. The findings suggest that single-clove garlic extract is effective in improving the lipid profile in dyslipidemic male Wistar rats.

Abstract

In Indonesia, hypertension occupies the fourth highest position as a deadly disease. The prevalence of hypertension in Central Java reached 37.57% based on measurements for the ≥18 year old population. Hypertension uncontrolled if not treated immediately can cause complications disease. Complications can be prevented by dutifully taking medication. Adherence to taking medication was what really determines the success of treatment therapy. Compliance Drink medicament can measured with using method Pill-Count and self report. Method Pill-Count was carried-out by calculating the patient's remaining medication. Meanwhile self report thiswas carried-out by giving an MMAS-8 questionnaire that consist of 8 written list of  questions to the patient. This study aims to determine the level of patient adherence to drug use oral antihypertensives by method pill- count in hypertensive patients in the Clinic and correlation between methods Pill-Count and MMAS-8.  This research is a type of non-experimental research with observational methods that are quantitatively correlative with design data collection prospective. Sampling techniques using techniques total sampling. The number of samples used was 31 samples. Source data taken from the questionnaire sheet and analysis used in this research is analysis univariate, analysis bivariate, test chi-square and correlation test spearman rank. Validity was assessed using Pearson correlation with r-table = 0.279, and reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha. The results of the study obtained that the patient's level of compliance from the test chi- square has a sig value of 0.008<0.05 which means the patient's level of compliance with using oral antihypertensive drugs using the method pill-count and MMAS-8 in the clinic is classified as compliant. Test spearman rank shows that there is a relationship between the level of adherence to taking antihypertensive drugs and the method Pill-Count and MMAS-8 which has a sig value result of 0.008 < 0.05. The results of this study show that patient compliance on usage medicament oral antihypertensives in clinic classified as a medium level of relationship.
