Abstract

Adolescence is a developmental stage characterized by social pressure, emotional turbulence, and identity exploration. Emotion regulation is a crucial skill that enables adolescents to adapt to social and academic demands. This study aimed to examine the role of emotional intelligence (EI) and self-compassion (SC) as predictors of emotion regulation among adolescents in Manado City. An explanatory quantitative design was employed, involving 300 high school students aged 15–19 years selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Self-Compassion Scale, and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Prior to the main study, all instruments were subjected to validity and reliability testing on a pilot sample of 30 adolescents with characteristics comparable to the study population. Item validity was assessed using item–total correlation, while reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression after meeting classical assumption tests. Indicated that the regression model was statistically significant (F = 412.245; p < 0.001), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.727, indicating that EI and SC jointly explained 72.7% of the variance in emotion regulation. Partial analyses revealed that EI had a positive and significant effect on emotion regulation (B = 0.321; p < 0.001), whereas SC showed no significant effect (B = −0.009; p = 0.750). These findings indicate that emotional intelligence is the dominant factor in enhancing adolescents’ emotion regulation. Therefore, school-based mental health interventions should prioritize strengthening emotional intelligence, while fostering self-compassion may serve as a complementary long-term strategy.

Abstract

Stunting in children under five remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia and has long-term implications for human capital development. Community based stunting prevention policies play a crucial role in addressing this issue, particularly at the local level. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of community-based stunting prevention programs in the Palembang region using a literature review approach. Relevant articles were obtained from national and international databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and the Garuda Portal, limited to publications from 2019 to 2024. Selected articles were analyzed qualitatively using thematic analysis to identify key aspects of program implementation, supporting factors, and barriers. The findings indicate that community-based stunting prevention programs in Palembang have generally been implemented in accordance with national policies and have contributed positively to improving child nutritional status. Program effectiveness was strongly supported by the active involvement of health workers and community health cadres, locally adapted intervention innovations, and cross-sectoral collaboration. However, several challenges remain, including logistical constraints, inconsistent monitoring systems, limited family participation, and suboptimal communication strategies. In conclusion, strengthening community engagement, enhancing program sustainability, and improving monitoring and evaluation mechanisms are essential to optimize the impact of community-based stunting prevention programs and ensure sustainable stunting reduction at the local level.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus was a major non communicable disease with an increasing prevalence among the productive-age population. Multiple risk factors, including sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviors, clinical conditions, and family history, were known to contribute to its development. Employees of Regional Government Organizations (RGO) represented a productive age group with a potentially high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to analyze risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A quantitative cross sectional study was conducted from January to February 2023 involving 3,313 RGO employees. A total of 1,955 respondents were selected using accidental sampling based on the Lemeshow formula. Data were collected through questionnaire, physical examinations, and random blood glucose measurements. The questionnaire was not subjected to validity and reliability testing, as the data were derived from direct measurements and interview findings. Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression. The results showed that body mass index, sex, family history of diabetes mellitus, blood pressure, and history of heart disease were significantly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (p<0.05). In contrast, smoking behavior, physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, and history of stroke were not significantly associated. Multivariate analysis indicated that family history of diabetes mellitus was the most dominant risk factor (OR = 4.882). It was concluded that family history of diabetes mellitus was the strongest determinant of type 2 diabetes mellitus among RGO employees, emphasizing the importance of early screening and risk factor management in the productive age population.

Abstract

Toddlerhood is a critical period for physical growth and neurodevelopment that determines long-term health outcomes. Inadequate maternal knowledge remains a major barrier to optimal growth and development monitoring, leading to delayed detection of growth and developmental problems. Conventional health education methods often have limited accessibility and sustainability. Therefore, android-based applications have emerged as innovative digital health education tools to support mothers in monitoring toddler growth and development. This study aimed to review the effectiveness of android-based applications in improving mothers’ knowledge of toddler growth and development. A literature review was conducted by analysing five national and international studies published between 2021 and 2024. The selected studies employed quasi-experimental designs involving mothers of toddlers aged 0–59 months. The intervention in all studies was the use of android-based applications related to growth and development education or monitoring, with maternal knowledge as the primary outcome. Data were analysed narratively. All reviewed studies reported statistically significant improvements in mothers’ knowledge following android-based application interventions (p < 0.05). Compared to conventional educational media such as leaflets and face-to-face counselling, android-based applications were more effective in enhancing mothers’ understanding of growth indicators and developmental milestones. Android-based applications are effective educational tools for improving mothers’ knowledge of toddler growth and development and have strong potential to be integrated into maternal and child health programmes.

Abstract

Post-CABG period is often characterized by medical complications, functional limitations, psychosocial problems, and a high risk of readmission. This review aims to examine the scientific evidence related to continuity of care in post-CABG patients, including the effectiveness of nursing interventions and cardiac rehabilitation in influencing patient outcomes. The method used was a literature review with a narrative approach, through searches of articles in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar (2019–2025). Of the 1,863 articles initially identified, 9 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed thematically. The results show that systematic nursing interventions such as discharge planning significantly reduce readmissions and medical complications, as well as improve quality of life. Home-based, outpatient, and telerehabilitation cardiac rehabilitation programs are effective in improving functional capacity, patient adherence, and productivity. Biopsychosocial support, integration of psychological rehabilitation, and patient participation through shared decision-making enhance coping, satisfaction, and patient engagement. Contextual factors such as geographical location and access to health services also influence outcomes. In conclusion, continuity of care after CABG requires an integrated, multidimensional intervention approach that encompasses physical, psychosocial, and socioeconomic aspects, in order to enhance clinical effectiveness, accelerate recovery, and support patients’ social reintegration.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health burden, particularly in high-incidence countries such as Indonesia. The World Health Organization–recommended Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS) strategy plays a crucial role in improving treatment success; however, patient adherence during the intensive phase of treatment remains a significant challenge. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the implementation of the DOTS strategy and adherence to anti-tuberculosis medication during the intensive phase among pulmonary TB patients in Bone Bolango Regency. This study employed a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 75 respondents were recruited using total sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Chi-square tests and logistic regression analysis. The findings demonstrated significant associations between all DOTS components and treatment adherence, including government commitment (p = 0.006), microscopic examination (p = 0.003), treatment supervision (p = 0.000), drug availability (p = 0.002), and recording and reporting systems (p = 0.004). Treatment supervision was identified as the most dominant factor influencing adherence, with a p-value of 0.001 and an odds ratio (OR) of 0.133 (95% CI: 0.039–0.459). The implementation of the DOTS strategy is strongly associated with adherence to anti-tuberculosis medication during the intensive phase of treatment. Strengthening the role of treatment supervisors, ensuring consistent drug availability, and improving recording and reporting systems are essential to enhance treatment success.

Abstract

Hypertension is a leading contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Non-pharmacological strategies such as back massage and music relaxation have been proposed to attenuate sympathetic activation and stabilize blood pressure. Grounded in relaxation theory and stress physiology, this review synthesizes current evidence on the effectiveness of these interventions in patients with hypertension. A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines across national and international databases (2020–2025). The research question was structured using the PICO framework. Quasi-experimental and randomized controlled trials involving hypertensive patients and reporting pre–post or between-group changes in blood pressure were eligible. Of 312 records identified, 97 duplicates were removed. After title–abstract screening of 215 records and full-text assessment of 69 articles, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria and were narratively synthesized. Most studies demonstrated statistically significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure following back massage, music therapy, or combined relaxation approaches. However, notable heterogeneity was observed in intervention protocols, duration, comparators, and control for confounding factors. Back massage and music relaxation appear to be safe, complementary interventions with promising potential to reduce blood pressure among individuals with hypertension. Nonetheless, rigorously designed randomized controlled trials with standardized protocols and longer follow-up are warranted to strengthen the evidence base.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (KNF) is a malignant cancer that originates from the nasopharyngeal epithelium and is one of the leading causes of cancer death in Indonesia. This disease is related to various environmental and genetic risk factors such as salted fish consumption, smoking habits, exposure to wood burning smoke, alcohol consumption, and genetic factors. Exposure to wood burning smoke contains carcinogenic compounds that can cause chronic irritation and DNA mutations in nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. This study aims to determine the relationship between salted fish consumption patterns, smoking habits, exposure to wood burning smoke, alcohol consumption, and genetic factors with the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma at RSPAL dr. Ramelan Surabaya for the period March 2020 to March 2025. Cross-sectional research was carried out at RSPAL dr. Ramelan Surabaya. A total of 49 consisting of 36 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 13 non-nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were selected by total sampling. The dependent variable is nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Independent variables were salted fish consumption patterns, exposure to wood burning smoke, smoking habits, alcohol consumption and genetics. Data was collected using questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability, and medical records. The data was analyzed by Chi-square test. There was a significant association between exposure to wood burning smoke and the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (p = 0.036). Meanwhile, salted fish consumption patterns (p = 0.165), smoking habits (p = 0.586), alcohol consumption (p = 0.288), and genetic factors (p = 0.609) showed no meaningful relationship. This shows that exposure to wood burning smoke is the most influential environmental factor on the incidence of KNF at the research site. There was a significant association between exposure to wood burning smoke and the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, while salted fish consumption patterns, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, and genetic factors did not show a significant relationship.

Abstract

Malaria remains a major public health problem in mining areas due to environmental conditions that favor mosquito breeding and sustained human–vector contact. Mining workers are particularly vulnerable because of prolonged exposure to high-risk environments. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with malaria incidence and the presence of vector breeding sites among mining workers in Hulawa Village, Buntulia Subdistrict, Pohuwato Regency. This observational analytic study employed a cross-sectional design involving 125 mining workers. Data were collected through structured interviews using a standardized questionnaire and environmental observations. The questionnaire was developed based on previous empirical studies and underwent validity and reliability testing prior to data collection; item validity was assessed using item–total correlation analysis, while internal consistency was confirmed with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ≥0.70. Malaria incidence was determined using a Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT). The independent variables included knowledge, nighttime outdoor activities, history of malaria, risk perception, self-efficacy, length of residence, presence of potential breeding sites, and presence of malaria vectors. Bivariate associations were examined using the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis was conducted using logistic regression. The results showed that several factors were significantly associated with malaria incidence. Knowledge (p = 0.000; OR = 0.018) and history of malaria (p = 0.014; OR = 0.068) acted as protective factors, whereas length of residence in the mining area (p = 0.001; OR = 31.179) and the presence of malaria vectors (p = 0.020; OR = 55.195) significantly increased the risk of malaria. In contrast, self-efficacy and the presence of breeding sites were not significantly associated with malaria incidence. The most dominant factor influencing malaria incidence was the presence of malaria vectors. Malaria incidence among mining workers in Hulawa Village is influenced by a combination of individual and environmental factors, with vector presence and prolonged exposure in mining areas playing a dominant role. These findings highlight the critical importance of prioritizing vector control and environmental management in mining areas as key strategies to reduce malaria incidence.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a malignancy caused by the abnormal growth and spread of cells. It develops within the breast lobules, ducts, adipose tissue, or connective tissue. Globally, this disease ranks as the second leading cause of death. Objective: This study aims to analyze the ability of women of reproductive age to recognize breast cancer risk factors. A descriptive research design was employed to identify the level of risk factor recognition among women of reproductive age in the working area of Puskesmas PB 2 Selayang. The study population comprised all women of reproductive age aged 15-49 years. A total of 100 respondents were selected using proportional random sampling, ensuring that the number of subjects drawn from each area was proportional to the population size of that area. Data were collected from April to July 2025 using a structured questionnaire administered through Google Forms, covering demographic characteristics and knowledge of breast cancer risk factors. Data collection was conducted through home visits assisted by trained enumerators. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and presented in frequency and percentage distributions. The results indicated that the risk factors most recognized by respondents were the definition of breast cancer (74.1%), alcohol consumption habits (67%), smoking habits (71.6%), high-sugar and preservative-laden foods (75%), and breast self-examination (75%). Conversely, unrecognized risk factors included post-menopausal obesity (16.5%), early menarche (25.6%), genetic factors (56%), reproductive factors (39.4%), nulliparity (never having given birth) (52.8%), and late menopause (>50 years) (34.9%). These results suggest that a significant number of respondents lack understanding of hormonal and reproductive factors, highlighting the need for targeted education on these issues.
