Abstract

Cancer imposes a significant health burden, encompassing not only physical symptoms like pain and fatigue but also substantial psychological and spiritual distress, which collectively diminish patients' overall well-being. Given the high cost of care in Indonesia, comprehensive supportive interventions are urgently needed. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of the Psycho Religious Intervention (PRI) model an innovative nursing therapy integrating psychoeducation and contemplative (tafakur) prayer on improving cancer patients' physical well-being. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with a pre-post test method was employed. Sixty cancer patients at Dr. Adhyatma Hospital were recruited and equally randomized into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received the PRI model for 30 minutes per session, twice daily, for four consecutive days. Effectiveness analysis using independent-samples t-tests revealed that the PRI model significantly improved physical well-being. The intervention group demonstrated a qualitative improvement from moderate (mean 159.07) to high well-being (mean 181.33), surpassing the control group (mean 161.20). Specifically, the model significantly reduced pain (p=0.010), physical fatigue (p=0.036), and sleep disturbance (p=0.016), although nausea reduction was marginally significant (p=0.058). The PRI Model is established as an effective, evidence-based self-care modality, proving highly relevant for holistic palliative care.

Abstract

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is the leading cause of death worldwide, with essential hypertension accounting for 90-95% of cases. Older people with hypertension are at greater risk of serious complications such as stroke, coronary heart disease, and kidney failure. One form of non-pharmacological intervention that is gaining more attention is anti-stroke exercise. This study aims to determine the effect of stroke sports on blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and posttest control group design. Two groups were selected: the intervention group, which participated in anti-stroke exercises, and the control group, which did not receive the intervention. The study population was elderly with hypertension who were registered in a health facility or elderly community. The sampling technique used purposive sampling from 30 respondents (15 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group). Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test to determine differences in blood pressure before and after stroke exercises. The Wilcoxon test for the effect of stroke exercises on blood pressure yielded a p-value (0.003 <0.05), indicating differences in blood pressure before and after stroke exercises. The results of the study show that stroke sports are effective in lowering blood pressure in the elderly.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a global health issue, with 537 million cases reported in 2021 and projected to increase to 783 million by 2045. Indonesia ranks fifth globally, with T2DM prevalence rising to 8.5% in 2018. The high number of cases and the risk of severe complications, such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure, underline the need for an in-depth study of risk factors to mitigate the disease's impact. Objective to further examine the determinants of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. This study employed a literature review approach using search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and BMC with the keywords "Risk Factor" AND "T2DM." The reviewed articles are reputable and accredited, published within the last five years. From a total of 20 reviewed articles, the findings indicate that Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is significantly associated with factors such as age, gender, hypertension, physical activity, family history of diabetes, obesity, smoking, cholesterol levels, fruit and vegetable consumption, and sweet food consumption. The determinants of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus include physical activity, dietary patterns, family history of diabetes, BMI, smoking, age, gender, hypertension, and cholesterol levels.

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

Anxiety patients with physical disorder was characterized by discomfort, sad, restlessness and worried. Patients have physiological, cognitive, affective, behavioral, and social reactions because of their anxiety and fear regarding their condition and the treatment they are receiving. This study aims to analyze the prevalence of anxiety among patients in general hospital. This study uses a cross sectional study carried out amongst 100 patient in general hospital using purposive sampling techniques. A semi-structured questionnaire for the study was used to collect data of the patients used Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to rate the anxiety symptoms of the patients. HADS has been translated Indonesian languange with good reliability by means inter-rater valuation and analyzed by using Kappa Cohen coefficient (0,706).  Data analysis was done quantitatively using frequency distribution. The study sample consisted of 100 patients with mean age 50,8 years, majority male patients (51%). Based on the HADS scores, 8 patients classified as patients suffering from excessive levels of anxiety, 21 patients had moderate anxiety and 40 patients had mild anxiety. This study found a prevalence of 75% of the patients in general hospital was experiencing anxiety.
