Abstract

The majority (70-93%) of adolescents experience discomfort related to menstruation. It has been reported that 90% of menstruating adolescents experience menstrual pain, and 21% of these experience severe pain. Their quality of life and participation in school, sports, and social activities are all affected. Dysmenorrhea leads to decreased quality of life, absenteeism, and an increased risk of depression and anxiety. Up to half of patients with dysmenorrhea miss school or work at least once, and 10% to 15% experience regular absences during menstruation. To find out decrease in dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls with yoga and Benson relaxation. Using the true experimental design method using one group design, pretest-posttest design, sampling technique using purposive sampling. The number of samples in this study is 30 samples. The adolescent girls' dysmenorrhea scale was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after treatment, data analysis is carried out univariately to describe the frequency distribution and bivariately using the Wilcoxon test. The results of the Wilcoxon signed rank test statistical test show a value of ρ < 0.001, which means that there is a decrease in dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls with yoga and Benson relaxation. Decrease in dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls with yoga and Benson relaxation.

Abstract

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is characterized by persistent fluid retention leading to edema and dyspnea, which significantly impair functional capacity and increase hospital readmission rates. Although loop and thiazide diuretics are effective in decongestion, long-term use frequently results in electrolyte imbalance, renal dysfunction, and diuretic resistance. Breadfruit leaf (Artocarpus altilis), containing flavonoids, tannins, and saponins with natural diuretic mechanisms, has been traditionally used to reduce fluid accumulation and edema. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of standardized breadfruit leaf extract in improving fluid retention and dyspnea among CHF patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of standardized breadfruit leaf (Artocarpus altilis) extract in reducing fluid retention and improving dyspnea in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted on 15 CHF patients who received standardized breadfruit leaf extract for five consecutive days. Parameters measured included body weight and dyspnea severity using the Borg Modification Scale. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests. A statistically significant reduction in body weight was observed after intervention (61.9 ± 5.2 kg to 61.7 ± 5.2 kg; p = 0.005), indicating decreased fluid retention. Dyspnea scores also showed significant improvement (5.6 ± 0.6 to 4.5 ± 0.8; p = 0.001), reflecting meaningful clinical relief in respiratory symptoms associated with congestion. Standardized breadfruit leaf extract demonstrated beneficial effects in reducing body fluid accumulation and improving dyspnea among CHF patients, supporting its potential as a complementary therapy with minimal adverse effects.

Abstract

Rectal cancer is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in humans and ranks as the second most frequent cancer of the large intestine. The management of rectal cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy administered either before or after surgery to improve the chances of cure. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) reflects platelet size and is associated with platelet production and activation. Platelet activation plays a crucial role in the development and progression of malignancy. This study aimed to determine the relationship between Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with rectal cancer, as assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). This study was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design, in which several variables were measured simultaneously at a single point in time. Data were collected from outpatients attending the Digestive Surgery Clinic at Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. A total of 81 patients who met the study inclusion criteria were enrolled using a consecutive sampling method. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test to assess the normality of data distribution. One-way ANOVA or the Kruskal–Wallis test was used to analyze differences between qualitative variables, as appropriate. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to determine the diagnostic performance of Mean Platelet Volume (MPV). A total of 81 patients were included in this study, with the majority being female (n = 41). The mean age of the study subjects was 53.9 years. Tumors were most commonly located in the proximal rectum (33 patients), and the predominant histopathological differentiation was well differentiated, observed in 53 patients. Most patients with low MPV values (<8.6 fL) demonstrated a better response to chemotherapy, characterized by partial response and stable disease, whereas patients with high MPV values (≥8.6 fL) more frequently experienced progressive disease. There was no statistically significant association between Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with rectal cancer, as assessed using the RECIST criteria (p = 0.075). However, clinically, patients with lower MPV values tended to demonstrate a better therapeutic response compared with those with higher MPV values.

Abstract

Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure that results in an acute incision wound and requires optimal care to prevent infection and accelerate epithelialization. Povidone-iodine has long been used as a standard antiseptic, but has been reported to have potential cytotoxicity against fibroblast cells. Octenidine dihydrochloride is an alternative antiseptic with high antimicrobial efficacy and better biocompatibility. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of both antiseptics on post-circumcision wound healing time. The study used a prospective parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) design at the Darul Khitan Clinic in Bogor City with 34 pediatric patients randomized into two groups (n = 17). The intervention group received octenidine dihydrochloride, while the control group received povidone-iodine. Wound healing was assessed on days 3 and 7 using the WINNER Scale. Data were collected through direct observation and wound assessment by trained healthcare personnel using a standardized observation form. The data were analyzed using an independent t-test (p<0.05). The results showed that the mean wound healing score of the octenidine group was higher than that of povidone-iodine (9.59±1.37 vs 7.29±1.96) with a significant difference (p<0.001; 95% CI -3.482 to -1.106). It was concluded that octenidine dihydrochloride was more effective in accelerating post-circumcision wound healing than povidone-iodine and could be considered as a more optimal antiseptic choice in clinical practice.

Abstract

Chronic inflammation plays an important role in pathogenesisbenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Anatomic pathology examination is the standard for detecting prostate inflammation, but it is invasive. Systemic inflammation parameters based on peripheral blood counts have the potential to be non-invasive biomarkers. Comparing inflammatory parameters based on peripheral blood counts NLR, PLR, MLR, SII and SIRI with Anatomical Pathology results in comparing BPH with and without inflammation. This research is an analytical cross-sectional study in BPH patients with and without inflammation based on the results of Anatomical Pathology. A total of 334 patients were included in this study, and the sampling technique used was consecutive sampling. Parametersneutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), andsystemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) were analyzed and compared between groups. AnalysisReceiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) is used to determine the valuecut-off optimal. The median age of patients was relatively homogeneous. In the BPH group with inflammation, Total leukocyte count, absolute neutrophil count, and absolute monocyte count were higher, while absolute lymphocyte count was lower. All systemic inflammation parameters (NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, and SIRI) were significantly higher in the inflammation group (p < 0.001). SII showed the highest AUC value (0.840), followed by NLR (0.829) and SIRI (0.822). Based on our research, it can be concluded that systemic inflammatory parameters have the potential to be used as non-invasive biomarkers to determine whether a person has BPH with inflammation or not.

Abstract

The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) program is an educational initiative designed to equip nurses with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to continuously improve quality and patient safety within healthcare systems. Junior nurses, as frontline providers of nursing care, require adequate competencies in patient safety aspects. This study aims to identify and synthesize scientific findings regarding the effectiveness of the QSEN program in improving the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of junior nurses. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review following the PRISMA guidelines. Articles published between 2021 and 2026 were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The initial search identified 3,500 records. After removing 1,150 duplicates, 1,900 records were screened. A total of 1,600 records were excluded based on title and abstract. Of the remaining 300 articles, 120 could not be retrieved. Subsequently, 180 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 158 were excluded due to not meeting inclusion criteria. Finally, 22 studies were included in the synthesis. The findings indicate that the implementation of the QSEN program has a positive impact on improving junior nurses’ knowledge of patient safety (60–85%), enhancing clinical skills (55–80%), and improving professional attitudes in nursing practice (70–90%). Several factors such as organizational support, effective leadership, clinical supervision, and continuous training play a crucial role in the successful implementation of the QSEN program. The QSEN program is effective in improving the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of junior nurses. The success of its implementation is strongly influenced by organizational support, leadership, and an adequate supervision system.

Abstract

The syndemic between Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a public health challenge because DM can weaken the immune system and poor glycemic control facilitates infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As the prevalence of DM in Indonesia increases, identifying risk factors that contribute to the incidence of TB in DM patients becomes important. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nutritional status, glycemic control, income level, education level, and access to health services with the incidence of pulmonary TB in DM patients. The study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach conducted at Tgk. Chik Ditiro Sigli Regional Hospital from June–September 2025 with a sample of 277 DM patients selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using mixed methods, namely secondary data from medical records for TB status, nutritional status, and glycemic control and primary data through questionnaires for income and access to health services using the Cronbach’s Alpha method with a value of ≥0.70.The results showed that the majority of respondents did not have pulmonary TB (75.09%), but the majority had poor nutritional status (68.95%) and most had controlled glycemic control (71.12%). In addition, more than half of respondents had incomes below the Provincial Minimum Wage (56.68%) and about half had poor access to health services (50.54%). The analysis showed a significant association between poor nutritional status (AOR=2.5; 95% CI=1.17–5.39), uncontrolled glycemic control (AOR=4.5; 95% CI=2.43–8.68), income <UMP (AOR=1.9; 95% CI=1.02–3.85), and poor access to health services (AOR=3.2; 95% CI=1.65–6.30) with the incidence of pulmonary TB in DM patients,

Abstract

Cough is a common symptom in children and is frequently managed through self-medication. Limited parental knowledge may lead to inappropriate medicine selection, dosing errors, and potential adverse effects. To examine the levels of knowledge and attitudes and to analyse the association between knowledge level and attitudes towards cough self-medication among parents of toddlers in Parangjoro Hamlet, Grogol District, Sukoharjo Regency. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 99 parents of toddlers selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire and analysed using univariate statistics and the Chi-square test. Most respondents had a good level of knowledge (70.71%), and 59.6% showed positive attitudes towards cough self-medication. There was a statistically significant association between knowledge level and attitudes (p=0.001). Higher knowledge was associated with more positive attitudes towards cough self-medication among parents of toddlers.

Abstract

Clinical practice in psychiatric hospitals is a crucial learning method for preparing competent healthcare professionals; however, low mental health literacy and persistent stigma among students often trigger anxiety and stress during training. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical practicum in improving mental health literacy and reducing stigma, as well as to analyze determinants of changes in students’ mental health status based on practice duration, age, and gender. This study employed a quantitative analytical design with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest approach involving 569 health profession students using total sampling. Data were collected through validated instruments, including the Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) (0.876), the Opening Minds Scale for Health Care Providers (OMS-HC) (0.870), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) (0.918), and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that clinical practicum significantly improved mental health literacy (p = 0.0007) and reduced anxiety (p = 0.0204) and stress (p = 0.0287), while stigma did not change significantly (p = 0.3913). Multivariate analysis revealed that a one-month practice duration was the most effective period, with greater reductions in anxiety (B = −3.714; p = 0.000) and stress (B = −3.549; p = 0.000) compared to a two-week duration. Increased literacy significantly contributed to reductions in anxiety (p = 0.010) and depression (p = 0.045), whereas stigma reduction was not significant, and older students showed slower decreases in anxiety (p = 0.029). Overall, clinical practicum improves cognitive aspects (literacy) but has limited impact on perceptual aspects (stigma).
