Abstract

Technological developments and lifestyle changes following the COVID-19 pandemic have increased the prevalence of sedentary behavior in young adults, potentially negatively impacting cognitive function. Physical activity interventions, particularly High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), are known to have benefits for brain health. Pound Fit is a form of HIIT that combines high-intensity exercise, rhythmic music, and motor coordination, but empirical evidence regarding its effects on cognitive function in sedentary young adults is still limited. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of HIIT through Pound Fit on cognitive function in young adults with a sedentary lifestyle. This study used a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design with a quantitative approach. The MoCA-Ina has been reported to have good construct validity and high reliability with a Cronbach's Alpha value >0.70, making it considered reliable for measuring cognitive function in the Indonesian population. A total of 40 female Nursing students with a sedentary lifestyle were recruited and randomly divided into an intervention group (n=20) and a control group (n=20). The intervention group participated in a HIIT-based Pound Fit exercise program for four weeks (3 times/week, ±45 minutes/session), while the control group carried out their usual activities. Cognitive function was measured using the Indonesian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-Ina) before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using a Paired Samples t-test and an Independent Samples t-test . The results of the paired samples t-test showed a significant increase in cognitive function in the intervention group after Pound Fit exercise (p < 0.001). The independent samples t-test also showed a significant difference in cognitive function scores between the intervention group and the control group in the posttest measurement (p < 0.001). All data met the assumptions of normality and homogeneity. HIIT training through Pound Fit exercise has been proven effective in improving cognitive function in young adults with a sedentary lifestyle. This intervention has the potential to be an applicable promotive and preventive strategy in nursing and public health practice to support the cognitive health of young adults.

Abstract

Advanced cancer patients often experience multidimensional suffering known as "Total Pain," which includes physical, psychological, social, and spiritual distress. While spiritual interventions are recognized as core components of holistic palliative care, a comprehensive global mapping of research trends over the last five decades remains limited. This study aims to explore global publication trends, identify influential countries and authors, and map key thematic clusters in spiritual intervention research for cancer patients from 1973 to 2025. A quantitative bibliometric design was used. Bibliographic data of 1,121 documents were extracted from the Scopus database following PRISMA 2020 protocols. Data analysis evaluated publication performance and geographic distribution. VOSviewer software was used for keyword co-occurrence and network visualization. Publication growth showed three phases: initiation, acceleration, and maturity (post-2011). The United States dominates global publications (42.5%), followed by Canada (7.4%) and the UK (6.4%). A significant rise in research from Iran and China indicates a shift toward de-westernization in spiritual care. The most influential study by Zimmermann et al. (2014) emphasized early palliative care. Four main thematic clusters were identified: spiritual well-being, quality of life, structured interventions (eg, Dignity Therapy), and death anxiety mitigation. Spiritual intervention research has evolved into a high-level health science. Integrating structured spiritual protocols into early palliative care is essential to address existential distress in terminal cancer patients.

Abstract

a Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, especially in working women who often wear high heels and stand for long periods of time, such as Sales Promotion Girl (SPG). Biomechanical stress due to unnatural foot position when wearing high heels and standing static for long periods of time can increase the risk of plantar fasciitis. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the variation in the size of high heels and the length of standing duration on the risk of plantar fasciitis in female Sales Promotion Girl (SPG) workers. A cross-sectional study was conducted in one of the shopping centers in Surabaya in June 2025 - September 2025. A total of 66 Sales Promotion Girls were selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable is plantar fasciitis. Independent variables were variations in heel size, high heel, and length of standing. Data was collected using questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The data was analyzed by the Spearman Correlation Test. The results showed that 68.6% of respondents used ≥5 cm heels and 57.1% stood >8 hours per day. Of all respondents, 51.4% experienced no pain, 32.9% mild pain, and 15.7% moderate pain. Spearman's correlation analysis found a moderately positive association between high heel shoe height and standing duration with the risk of plantar fasciitis (p<0.001). The variation in the size of high heels and long standing duration had a significant relationship with the risk of plantar fasciitis, with a positive relationship, namely the higher the heel and the longer the duration of standing, the higher the risk of SPG women experiencing plantar fasciitis.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem with increasing prevalence and complication rates. Blood sugar control is influenced by various factors, one of which is sleep quality, which plays a role in regulating glucose metabolism. This study aims to determine the relationship between sleep quality and fasting blood sugar levels in diabetes mellitus patients. This study is a quantitative study with a correlational design and a cross-sectional approach conducted on 114 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at the Internal Medicine Polyclinic of Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital, Surakarta. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, while fasting blood sugar levels were obtained from patient medical records. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially using the Chi-Square test. The PSQI questionnaire has been tested for validity and reliability by Fatmawati (2013) using the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient , with a correlation coefficient value (r count) ranging from 0.487–0.778 (r table > 0.444) and a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.63. Most respondents had poor sleep quality (79.8%) and high fasting blood sugar levels (> 126 mg/dL) (82.5%). The chi-square test results showed a significant association between sleep quality and fasting blood sugar levels (p = 0.001). Poor sleep quality was significantly associated with increased fasting blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. These findings suggest that sleep quality plays a crucial role in glycemic control, and efforts to improve sleep quality should be considered as part of a comprehensive approach to diabetes mellitus management.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, including in Indonesia. Medication adherence is a crucial factor in preventing complications and improving quality of life among patients. This study aimed to examine the relationship between spousal support and medication adherence among patients with coronary heart disease. A quantitative study with a cross sectional design using a systematic sampling technique was conducted among 159 CHD patients attending the cardiac outpatient clinic at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta. Data were collected using a spousal support questionnaire and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale MMAS 8 and analysed using the Spearman Rho test with a 95 percent confidence level. The results showed a significant positive relationship between spousal support and medication adherence with p value 0.001 and correlation coefficient r 0.482. Patients who received high spousal support demonstrated better medication adherence compared to those with low support. Spousal support plays an important role in improving medication adherence among patients with CHD and should be considered in long term disease management strategies.

Abstract

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who have just started hemodialysis frequently experience high levels of anxiety caused by lifestyle changes, uncertain prognosis, and the burden of long-term therapy. Anxiety negatively impacts treatment adherence and quality of life, highlighting the need for effective nursing interventions to support psychosocial well-being. Purpose: This systematic literature review aimed to identify and analyze evidence-based nursing innovations that are effective in reducing anxiety among newly diagnosed ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines for studies published between 2015 and 2025. Literature searches were performed in Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using combinations of the keywords “end-stage renal disease,” “hemodialysis,” “anxiety,” “nursing intervention,” “cognitive behavioral therapy,” and “psychosocial intervention.” From 4,301 records initially identified, seven studies met the inclusion criteria, consisting of four randomized controlled trials (RCTs), two RCT protocols, and one pilot study. Data were synthesized narratively to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing and psychosocial interventions in reducing anxiety among newly diagnosed ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Results: The review found that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was consistently effective in reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms, particularly when combined with resilience-based models or mindfulness techniques. Advance Care Planning (ACP) interventions improved patients’ emotional acceptance and psychological adjustment, although their direct effect on anxiety reduction was limited. Technology-based interventions, including internet-based CBT (iCBT) and guided problem-solving therapy (PST), demonstrated strong potential as flexible, accessible, and cost-effective approaches. In addition, a pilot study utilizing virtual reality (VR) during hemodialysis procedures reported reductions in procedural pain and anxiety. Conclusion: Evidence-based nursing innovations incorporating CBT, ACP, digital interventions, and virtual reality show considerable potential in reducing anxiety among patients newly undergoing hemodialysis. These findings emphasize the critical role of nurses as psychosocial facilitators and support the integration of holistic, patient-centered, and technology-driven care models into routine hemodialysis practice.

Abstract

Aplikasi Sehat IndonesiaKu (ASIK) is a digital-based healthcare service recording and reporting application aimed at replacing manual recording and simplifying the reporting process for various health programs. Field experience shows that there is still a gap between the reporting results in the application and manual recording, resulting in serious consequences for the validity of health data. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the digitalization policy for reporting non-communicable disease screening through the ASIK application in North Lampung Regency in 2025. The evaluation was conducted by examining four main factors, namely the technical aspects of the application, human resources, organizational support, and health accessibility. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design using triangulation methods in the form of in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document review, and field observations at primary health facilities, and analyzed thematically using triangulation of sources and methods. Barriers to ASIK reporting are a multidimensional problem that causes a gap between policy design and field readiness. The research results show four main factors causing low reporting, namely technical application factors, limited human resources, weak organizational support, and regional accessibility constraints. This study recommends integration and strengthening of the ASIK system, improved infrastructure support and reporting management in the regions, and further quantitative studies to assess its impact on the quality of NCD screening data.

Abstract

Maternal health behaviors are a critical determinant of successful maternal healthcare outcomes; however, adherence to recommended health behaviors during pregnancy remains a significant challenge. Health education based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) has been recognized as an effective approach for modifying health behaviors by addressing individual perceptions and motivational factors. This literature review aimed to synthesize empirical evidence on the effectiveness of Health Belief Model–based health education in improving maternal health behaviors during pregnancy. This study employed a systematic literature review in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Articles were retrieved from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and national journal databases, covering publications from 2020 to 2025. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using predefined keywords, including Health Belief Model, Health Behaviors During Pregnancy, Health Education, and Pregnant Women. A total of 312 articles were identified, of which 72 duplicates were removed. The remaining 240 articles were screened based on titles and abstracts, resulting in the exclusion of 205 articles. Subsequently, 35 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. Based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 open-access studies involving pregnant women, applying the Health Belief Model, and reporting maternal health behavior outcomes were included in the qualitative synthesis. Health Belief Model–based health education was found to significantly improve maternal health behaviors, including adherence to antenatal care (ANC) visits, nutritional practices, compliance with iron–folic acid supplementation, physical activity, and disease prevention behaviors. Health education grounded in the Health Belief Model is an effective and relevant approach for enhancing maternal health behaviors during pregnancy and warrants integration into evidence-based maternal healthcare services.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder characterized by delusions, a symptom of which is a disturbance in the patient's thought processes that impacts the patient's behavior. The purpose of this study was to describe a case of a schizophrenic patient with delusions as the primary symptom and comorbid hyperthyroidism who was given psychoreligious therapy. This qualitative case study involved a single patient diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and comorbid hyperthyroidism, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, behavioral observations, physical examinations, and laboratory data. Management included pharmacological therapy in the form of antipsychotics and hyperthyroid medications, and non-pharmacological interventions in the form of reality orientation and psychoreligious therapy. The results of the therapy were obtained through daily observations, interviews, and assessment of reality orientation and behavioral responses, and were analyzed descriptively by comparing the patient’s condition before and after the intervention. The findings showed a decrease in the intensity of delusions, stabilization of thought patterns, and improvement in the patient’s behavioral functioning, including an increased ability to distinguish reality and more regular religious activities. The conclusion of this study is that hyperthyroidism is suspected to trigger symptoms of anxiety and physical complaints such as heart palpitations and abdominal pain due to irregular eating patterns. A holistic approach combining medical and psychosocial therapy was effective in managing schizophrenic symptoms and comorbid conditions, as well as improving the patient's quality of life.

Abstract

Although global incidence and mortality rates of tuberculosis (TB) have declined, TB remains the second leading cause of death worldwide after HIV/AIDS. To improve treatment adherence, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the Directly Observed Treatment, (DOT) strategy, known in Indonesian as the Pengawas Minum Obat (PMO). PMOs are expected to support, remind, and motivate patients to complete their treatment regimen effectively. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of PMO use, identify PMO characteristics, assess medication adherence among active TB patients, and evaluate the relationship between PMO presence and adherence. A descriptive–analytic study with a cross-sectional design using total sampling of all TB patients who were actively undergoing treatment at the Sigerongan Primary Health Care. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using the chi-square statistical test. The study found no significant difference in medication adherence between patients with a PMO and those without (p = 1.000; p > 0.05). Interestingly, 21.7% of patients with a PMO were still non-adherent to their treatment. The study found no significant difference in medication adherence between patients with a PMO and those without. This may be influenced by the small sample size and suboptimal role execution of PMOs.
