Abstract

High-risk pregnancies lead to increased maternal mortality both globally and nationally and have negative impacts on both mothers and fetuses. The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is one indicator in assessing the quality of health services. Screening for factors causing high-risk pregnancies is important. This study aims to identify high-risk pregnancies in pregnant women in the Karang Intan 2 Community Health Center area. This study used a descriptive analytical design with 51 respondents. Data collection was conducted from March to August 2025 with the sampling technique used was total sampling. This study used measuring instruments such as a blood pressure monitor, a glucometer, and a hemometer. Demographic data included age, education level, occupation, family income, gestational age, parity, ANC visits, medical history, abortion history, and premature birth history. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis to observe the frequency distribution of demographic data and measurement check up. The results showed that 49 (96.08%) respondents did not experience gestational hypertension, 41 (80.39%) respondents did not experience anemia, and all respondents did not experience gestational diabetes mellitus. Several other risk factors also influence the occurrence of pregnancy complications. Research shows that pregnant women are at high risk for increasing the occurrence of complications and dangers in pregnancy.

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), diarrhea is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Environmental factors, including access to clean water, adequate sanitation facilities, and community hygiene practices, play a significant role in the incidence of diarrhea. This study aims to analyze the risk determinants associated with diarrhea incidence in toddlers in the coastal area of Lake Limboto, Gorontalo Regency. This quantitative study employed an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 84 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected on variables including respondent knowledge, socio-cultural factors, environmental sanitation, handwashing practices, formula milk feeding, food preparation patterns, and complementary feeding. Statistical analyses were conducted using the chi-square test to determine the bivariate association between each independent variable and diarrhea incidence in toddlers, followed by multivariate analysis using logistic regression to identify the most significant risk determinants. The analysis revealed significant relationships between diarrhea incidence in toddlers and the following variables: respondent knowledge (ρ = 0.01), socio-cultural factors (ρ = 0.01), environmental sanitation (ρ = 0.02), handwashing with soap (ρ = 0.00), formula milk feeding (ρ = 0.01), food cooking patterns (ρ = 0.01), and provision of complementary foods (ρ = 0.01). All examined variables were significantly associated with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers in the coastal area of Lake Limboto.

Abstract

Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) is a post surgical cognitive disorder and is at risk of worsening quality of life and triggering dementia. This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) published between 2014 and 2024. The analysis examined annual publication trends, the distribution of contributing countries and institutions, types of documents, publishers, and the most frequently occurring keywords, including “postoperative cognitive dysfunction,” “anesthesia,” “risk factors,” and “POCD,” based on data retrieved from the Scopus database. This study was conducted using data from the Scopus database, analysed with the help of the Publish or Perish, PRISMA flowchart, and VOS viewer tools to visually map patterns and relationships between keywords. A total of 254 articles were identified, of which 182 articles were included in the analysis. Publication trends showed a consistent increase, peaking in 2024 with 28 papers. China (53.3%) and the United States (15.3%) were the leading contributors, followed by Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Most publications were original research articles (73.1%), indicating a dominance of empirical investigations. The most active journals included Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, BMC Anesthesiology, and Neuroscience. Keyword mapping revealed five major clusters: (1) anesthesia and surgery type, (2) neuroinflammation mechanisms, (3) aging and cognitive impairment, (4) biomarkers and pharmacological interventions, and (5) postoperative care. Recent trends (2021–2024) show a shift from descriptive to mechanistic and evidence-based studies. However, research gaps persist in the areas of digital biomarkers, psychosocial factors, long-term outcomes, and younger populations. Based on data, POCD research trends have been consistently developing and showing maturity in terms of clinical and methodological approaches.

Abstract

Depression is a psychological problem that often occurs in cancer patients due to an imbalance of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine that affect mood, anxiety, and cognition. This study aims to determine the relationship between elderly characteristics and depressive symptoms in cervical cancer patients. Method: The study used a descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach on 76 elderly respondents from a total population of 102 people, who were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research instrument used the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) with 15 questions, and the data were analyzed descriptively using a crosstab test. The results showed that most respondents were in the pre-elderly age (73.7%), unemployed (68.4%), married (82.9%), had suffered from cancer for more than six months (65.8%), and were in stage III (47.4%). Based on GDS measurements, the majority of respondents experienced mild depression (51.3%). The analysis showed a tendency that age, occupation, marital status, duration of illness, and cancer stage were related to the level of depression. Most elderly women with cervical cancer experience mild depression, so early screening and psychological intervention with a bio-psycho-social approach are needed to improve quality of life and treatment success.

Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major global health burden and is projected by the World Health Organization (WHO) to become the third leading cause of mortality by 2030. This trend highlights the urgent need for multidisciplinary healthcare management to maintain patient stability and improve outcomes. Objective to evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological breathing exercise techniques and patient positioning strategies in reducing dyspnea, enhancing lung function, improving nocturnal symptoms, and supporting overall quality of life in individuals with COPD. This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, EBSCO, SAGE Journals, ScienceDirect, and ClinicalKey using MeSH terms, keywords, and Boolean operators. The search strategy used combinations of the following main keywords: COPD, breathing exercise, breathing technique, positioning, pulmonary rehabilitation, dyspnea, nocturnal symptoms, sleep disturbances. Inclusion criteria were Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), adult participants (≥19 years) and publication years 2020–2025. A total of 2,695 articles were identified. After screening, removal of duplicates, and full-text assessment, 14 studies met the inclusion criteria. Analysis of the 14 included studies demonstrated that a variety of non-pharmacological breathing techniques particularly when combined with optimal patient positioning, pulmonary rehabilitation, supportive devices, complementary therapies, and virtual-reality–based interventions consistently improved lung function, functional capacity, dyspnea, and health-related quality of life in patients with COPD. None of the included studies reported adverse effects related to the interventions. Breathing exercise techniques and therapeutic positioning are effective non-pharmacological strategies for managing COPD symptoms.

Abstract

Stunting is a priority nutritional problem in Indonesia and is associated with long-term negative impacts on growth, cognitive abilities, and intellectual development. One of the main factors causing stunting is inadequate nutritional intake during pregnancy. Optimal maternal nutrition requires appropriate dietary practices throughout pregnancy, as maternal knowledge significantly influences the child's nutritional status. However, pregnant women living in stunting-prone areas often have limited understanding of proper nutrition and healthy eating patterns. Lack of education and guidance makes behavioral changes in eating habits more difficult to achieve. Nutrition counseling plays a crucial role in improving knowledge, understanding, and implementation of healthy nutrition in the daily lives of pregnant women. This study aimed to determine the effect of nutrition counseling on changes in maternal dietary patterns. A quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test post-test pre-experimental design was used. The instruments consisted of a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and an observation sheet, both of which were validated through content validity testing (CVI 0.86) and reliability testing (Cronbach's Alpha 0.82). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to assess changes before and after counseling. The results showed an improvement in dietary patterns after the intervention, with a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p = 0.000). These findings indicate that nutritional counseling effectively improves the dietary practices of pregnant women in stunting areas.

Abstract

Pain and anxiety in mothers during the first stage of labor are two interrelated conditions that can interfere with the effectiveness of contractions and the mother's comfort, where increased pain triggers nerve activation, while anxiety amplifies the perception of pain through the pain–anxiety–tension cycle mechanism. Various non-pharmacological interventions such as warm compresses and Benson relaxation have been proven to help, but the effectiveness of their combination in a pre–post approach has rarely been studied. To determine the effectiveness of combining warm compress therapy and Benson relaxation in reducing pain and anxiety levels in mothers who are about to undergo the labor process in Brotojoyo 3 Room, K.R.M.T Wongsonegoro Hospital, Semarang. Data collection was carried out directly on Mrs. N and Mrs. W, with pain intensity measured using the VAS questionnaire and anxiety levels measured using the HARS questionnaire before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the intervention. The intervention provided consisted of a warm compress for 15 minutes and Benson relaxation for 15–20 minutes. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and comparatively by comparing changes in pain and anxiety scores before and after the intervention for each patient, which were then presented in the form of tables and graphs. The results showed a decrease in pain in the first patient from 6 to 3 and in the second patient from 7 to 4, while anxiety decreased from moderate to low in the first patient and from moderate–severe to moderate in the second patient; vital signs such as pulse and respiration also showed improvement after the intervention. Overall, the combination of warm compresses and Benson's relaxation proved to be effective, safe, and easy to apply in reducing pain and anxiety in first-stage laboring mothers and has the potential to be used as part of the standard non-pharmacological nursing care. Labor pain before intervention in both patients was at a moderate to severe level, whereas after the intervention it decreased by 2–3 levels. Pre-intervention anxiety was at a moderate to severe level, and post-intervention showed a significant decrease, especially in the first patient. The combination of warm compress and Benson relaxation was proven effective in reducing pain intensity, anxiety, muscle tension, and sympathetic responses (pulse, BP, RR). This intervention is suitable to be applied in the delivery room because it is safe, inexpensive, easy to perform, and does not interfere with the physiological labor process. A multimodal approach provides a more positive childbirth experience and enhances the mother's ability to cope with contractions.

Abstract

Skin aging is influenced by intrinsic biological processes and extrinsic factors, including ultraviolet (UV) radiation, pollution, smoking, and dietary habits. In tropical countries such as Indonesia, chronic exposure to intense sunlight accelerates photoaging and increases the risk of skin damage. However, studies using standardized photoaging classifications in Indonesian populations, particularly in Surabaya, remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the association between demographic characteristics and risk factors with the degree of photoaging based on the Glogau classification among patients attending the dermatology outpatient clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, from January 2018 to December 2024. A retrospective descriptive-analytic study was conducted using medical records of patients diagnosed with photoaging. Total sampling was applied, and of 326 identified cases, 231 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Data collected included age, sex, occupation, UV exposure, smoking status, coffee and alcohol consumption, clinical manifestations, Glogau classification, and treatment modalities. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequencies and percentages, while associations between demographic characteristics, risk factors, and photoaging severity were evaluated using Chi-square, Fisher’s Exact, and Linear-by-Linear Association tests with a significance level of p < 0.05. Most patients were female (97.8%), aged 20–<45 years (51.9%), and indoor workers (97.4%). Significant UV exposure was reported by 92.2% of patients, whereas smoking (5.2%) and alcohol consumption (0.4%) were uncommon. Pigmentary changes (87.0%) and wrinkles (67.5%) were the most frequent clinical features, and Glogau II was the most prevalent classification (42.9%). Age and smoking were significantly associated with increased photoaging severity, while sex, occupation, coffee intake, and alcohol consumption showed no significant associations. These findings highlight the importance of early prevention, adequate sun protection, and smoking cessation to reduce the risk of photoaging in tropical populations.

Abstract

Heart failure remains a major global health problem, contributing to high morbidity and mortality, particularly among older adults. Effective self-care is essential to maintain clinical stability and improve the quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure. This study aims to increase the effectiveness of family-based health education by using a booklet containing self-care skills for heart failure patients. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted at a regional hospital in Surakarta, involving 148 patients selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Self Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) version 6.2 and analyzed with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results showed a significant improvement in self-care scores from pretest (mean = 53.60) to posttest (mean = 63.18), with an average increase of 9.58 points (17.87%; p < 0.001). The findings indicate that family-centered education through a booklet significantly enhances patients' self-care, maintenance, and management, and increases their confidence. This intervention strengthens family involvement, increases health knowledge and self-efficacy, and supports sustainable home-based care. The study contributes to nursing science by providing empirical evidence that simple, low-cost educational media can effectively empower families and improve self-care outcomes in chronic heart failure management, underscoring the importance of family engagement in patient-centered care.
