Abstract

Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic condition that requires long-term treatment.  Sedentary lifestyles and stress are the primary causes of its growing global prevalence.  Non-pharmacological therapies, such as physical activity and relaxation techniques, can aid in blood glucose regulation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of combining walking exercise and autogenic relaxation in lowering blood glucose levels in Type II diabetic patients. A case study was conducted on a 50-year-old woman with type II diabetes mellitus for five years. The intervention combined walking exercise (30 minutes/session, three times a week) and autogenic relaxation (15–20 minutes/session, three times a week) for four weeks. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and glucometer measurements before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed by conducting a case study of nursing care. Fasting blood glucose levels fell from 500 mg/dL to 148 mg/dL, tiredness scores improved from 6 to 3, stress scores from 7 to 3, and exercise tolerance increased from 10 to 25 minutes of continuous walking.  These findings suggest improved glycemic management, endurance, and psychological well-being. Combining walking exercise and autogenic relaxation is an effective, simple, and low-cost nursing intervention to support blood glucose control in Type II DM patients.

Abstract

Digital technologies such as wearable devices, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and e-learning platforms are increasingly applied to enhance safety and emergency response in outdoor and mountain environments. However, evidence regarding their effectiveness, feasibility, and implementation remains limited and scattered across disciplines. This systematic review aimed to synthesize current findings on digital technologies supporting emergency preparedness and response in outdoor activities. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus dan sciencedirect, including grey literature, for studies published up to October 30, 2025. Eligible studies examined (a) wearable or mobile-based fall detection systems, (b) UAV-based search-and-rescue (SAR) applications, or (c) e-learning interventions for rescue personnel. Two reviewers independently performed study selection and data extraction. Risk of bias was appraised using appropriate tools according to study design (QUADAS-2, JBI, and MMAT). Due to heterogeneity and the small number of studies, a narrative synthesis approach following the SWiM framework was applied. Out of 161 records identified, three studies met the inclusion criteria. One simulation-based study on wearable fall detection reported 97.9% sensitivity and 99.9% specificity in recognizing fall events with real-time location tracking. A feasibility study demonstrated the operational potential of UAVs in avalanche search-and-rescue scenarios but lacked standardized performance indicators. An e-learning intervention among rescuers showed significant improvement in knowledge retention, especially among professionals compared to volunteers after 12 months. Overall, the methodological quality of included studies was moderate to low. Digital technologies show promising potential to improve emergency preparedness and response in outdoor and mountain settings. Nonetheless, the evidence remains preliminary due to limited sample sizes, heterogeneous designs, and simulation-based validation.

Abstract

Supervision of nurse competency in the operating room is an important component in ensuring compliance with standard operating procedures and patient safety. However, in some hospitals, supervision is still not optimal, often unscheduled, using manual forms, and lacking proper documentation. This residency project aims to improve the effectiveness of tiered nurse competency supervision to enhance patient safety in the hospital's central surgical installation. This case study uses Kurt Lewin's planned change approach consisting of three stages unfreezing, moving, and refreezing combined with management functions: planning, organizing, staffing, actuating, and controlling. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, and questionnaires. Planned change began with problem identification, followed by Fishbone analysis to determine root causes. Several improvement strategies were developed, including forming a supervision team, creating a routine supervision schedule through Google Sheets, and developing five digital supervision instruments using Google Forms. A trial implementation was carried out. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to summarize respondent characteristics and key variables, while inferential analysis was used to examine variable relationships and support achievement of the research objectives. The implementation of digital-based tiered nurse competency supervision increased the effectiveness of supervision and supported more structured competency development. The formation of a supervision team, scheduled supervision activities, and digitized instruments improved supervision quality. Trial results indicated competent performance aligned with SOPs based on observation checklists. Digital supervision forms proved efficient and practical, facilitating implementation, simplifying documentation, and accelerating evaluation of supervision outcomes.

Abstract

Adolescent sexual behavior in Indonesia shows an increasingly worrying trend, as evidenced by the rise in premarital sex, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, and early marriages. This phenomenon reflects the vulnerability of adolescents in facing biological, psychological, and social changes that are not balanced with adequate knowledge and attitudes. The influence of social environments, media exposure, and weak internalization of moral values also increase the risk of unhealthy sexual behavior. These conditions indicate that existing prevention efforts have not been able to comprehensively address the needs of adolescents. Therefore, this research is important to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that influence adolescent sexual behavior and to serve as a basis for formulating more effective, sustainable, and culturally appropriate educational and intervention strategies. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education using the stratagem method on students' knowledge of the dangers of premarital sex at SMPN 3 Bontomarannu. This was done by assessing their knowledge levels before and after the intervention. The results showed an increase in adolescents' understanding after the intervention, indicating that the stratagem method was effective in increasing their knowledge. This study applied a quantitative approach with an experimental design aimed at determining the causal relationship between variables through manipulation of independent variables. The study population included individuals who met the predetermined inclusion criteria and were relevant to the study objectives. There were 44 respondents in this study, divided into 22 respondents in the intervention group and 22 respondents in the control group. This study demonstrates that sexuality education using the staging method effectively improves students' understanding of the risks of premarital sex. Involving 44 respondents through simple random sampling, pre- and post-test results showed a significant increase in the intervention group compared to the control group.  The results of the study showed that before the intervention there was no difference in knowledge between the two groups, but after being given counseling on the stratagem method, the intervention group experienced a significant increase, while the control group did not show any significant changes.

Abstract

The incidence of head trauma continues to increase from year to year and causes death or disability in adults. Factors that cause deterioration in patients with head trauma are age, initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), RTS (Revised Trauma Score), blood pressure, travel time to hospital (RS), and other organ trauma. Deterioration in head trauma patients can be seen from the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). The problem formulation in this study is how the factors that cause deterioration in patients with head trauma are related. The purpose of this study is to describe the relationship between factors that cause deterioration in patients with head trauma and find the dominant factor. This research method is comparative analytic with a cross-sectional design. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling with a total of 48 respondents. Data on GOS, age, GCS, RTS, and blood pressure were collected from patient medical records. Data on travel time to hospital were collected from interviews with patients' families. The obtained data were subjected to multivariate analysis using logistic regression tests. The results showed that the variables of age, GCS, RTC, blood pressure, and travel time to hospital have a relationship with the GOS variable (p-value <0.005). The results of a multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the most dominant factor influencing the worsening of severe head injury (GOS) was the RTC value (OR:16.18). In conclusion, a lower RTC value indicates a worse prognosis for head injury patients.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Indonesia is also not yet optimal, due to a decline from 68.6% in 2023 to 66.4% in 2024. Infant health risks increase when exclusive breastfeeding practices are not achieved. This study aims to identify factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding, particularly those related to perceived barriers, perceived vulnerability, perceived benefits, spousal support, and maternal employment. A literature review used the PEO (Population, Exposure, Outcome) framework. The literature reviewed was selected based on keywords related to exclusive breastfeeding behavior: perceived vulnerability, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, husband's support, and maternal occupation. Articles published between 2021 and 2025 were selected. The databases used were PubMed and Google Scholar, with 1,074 results. The selection process resulted in 15 articles that met the quantitative criteria, were published between 2021 and 2025, and examined variables relevant to the focus. Two articles noted the relationship between perceived barriers and exclusive breastfeeding, while two other articles noted the link with perceived vulnerability and exclusive breastfeeding. Four articles pointed to the relationship between perceived benefits and exclusive breastfeeding, and four articles highlighted spousal support as a factor. Five articles pointed to the relationship between maternal employment and exclusive breastfeeding. Four articles noted a relationship between spousal support and exclusive breastfeeding. Five articles noted a relationship between maternal employment and exclusive breastfeeding. Perceptions of barriers, perceptions of vulnerability, perceptions of benefits, spousal support, and maternal employment were associated with exclusive breastfeeding practices in most articles.

Abstract

Malnutrition can lead to growth retardation. Untreated malnutrition can trigger weight faltering, which can lead to a 15-20 point decrease in IQ scores and impact a child's learning ability and cognitive function. Malnutrition in children is caused by diets that do not meet nutritional needs, particularly low-protein diets. This deficiency can potentially lead to an imbalance in the gut microbiota and interfere with optimal nutrient absorption. Therefore, innovations are needed in the form of practical, protein-rich snacks from tempe. This study aims to review the effectiveness of providing high-protein snacks from tempe on weight gain in malnourished children based on recent research findings. This study employed a literature review method by searching relevant articles online through Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed databases. The inclusion criteria were full-text articles, involving Children aged 1 to 12  years, published within the last five years (2020–2025), written in English or Indonesian, and relevant to the research topic. The literature search was conducted through several scientific databases using relevant keywords, resulting in 434 articles in the initial identification stage and  five eligible articles were reviewed and analyzed to evaluate the impact of providing high-protein snacks from tempe on weight gain in malnourished children. Providing high-protein tempeh snacks has a significant effect on weight gain in malnourished children, with weight gain ranging from 0.2 kg to 0.5 kg. Providing high-protein snacks can increase the weight of children with malnutrition.

Abstract

Hypertension is a growing public health issue, particularly affecting individuals in productive age groups. The high incidence of hypertension in the North Sangatta Health Centre area highlights the need to identify contributing risk factors. This study aims to analyse determinants associated with hypertension among productive-age residents within the working area of the North Sangatta Health Centre. The method used in this study was an analytical observational approach with a case–control design. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires and blood pressure observation sheets. The research instruments were not subjected to validity and reliability testing because a digital sphygmomanometer that had been calibrated by the hospital and was used in accordance with standard operating procedures was utilized. The variables examined included demographic factors (age, sex, education, occupation), smoking habits, and medical history (familial hypertension and diabetes). The sampling technique used was non-random sampling, specifically purposive sampling, with a total of 136 respondents (68 cases and 68 controls). Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression tests. Result: The findings indicated significant associations between hypertension and age (P < 0.000), diabetes (P < 0.001), and family history of hypertension (P = 0.009). No significant associations were found for gender (P = 0.859), occupation (P = 0.360), education (P = 0.069), or smoking habits (P = 0.170). Conclusion: It is concluded that age and specific medical and occupational factors play important roles in hypertension incidence in this population.

Abstract

Mental health is a significant challenge in primary health care, particularly in lower-middle-income countries that face a shortage of mental health workers. In this situation, training for health workers is an important strategy to increase the capacity of existing resources and optimize the role of health care providers in mental health service delivery. This scoping review aimed to identify the impact of training mental health workers in primary care, particularly in terms of improved screening and early detection, increased utilization of mental health services, and improved clinical outcomes. The scoping review used the Arkey and O'Malley approach. Articles were searched using three databases, such as Medline, ProQuest, and Scopus, published between 2020-2025. Of the 1,475 articles identified, nine articles met the inclusion criteria and proceeded to the analysis stage. Training mental health workers in primary care was shown to improve health workers' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and self-efficacy. The impact of training was also seen in an increase in the number of screenings and early detection of mental disorders, increased utilization of mental health services, and significant improvements in psychotic symptoms, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and social functioning of patients. Training primary care health workers can improve the capacity and quality of mental health services. Appropriate training design, adequate duration, and ongoing evaluation systems are essential to ensure successful intervention and long-term impact on patient health.
