Abstract

Hypertension is a common degenerative disease among older adults and can lead to serious complications if not well controlled. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as hypertension exercise, are recommended to support blood pressure management. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of hypertension exercise in reducing blood pressure among older adults at the Elderly Health Post (Posyandu Lansia). A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted. A total of 30 elderly participants were recruited using total sampling. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention. Hypertension exercise was administered in three sessions (February 18, 21, and 23, 2026). Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods to assess changes in blood pressure. The findings showed a significant reduction in average systolic blood pressure after each session. In the first session, the mean systolic pressure decreased from 151.8 mmHg to 136.4 mmHg. Similar reductions were observed in the second and third sessions, indicating a consistent downward trend following the intervention. Hypertension exercise is effective in reducing blood pressure among older adults.

Abstract

Preoperative anxiety is a psychological response often experienced by patients before undergoing surgical intervention and can lead to increased physiological responses such as heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones. This condition can disrupt patient stability and slow recovery. Therefore, an effective, safe intervention that minimizes side effects is needed to reduce this anxiety. One non-pharmacological intervention is binaural beats music therapy, which stimulates alpha and theta brain waves to increase relaxation and reduce sympathetic nervous system activity. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of binaural beats music therapy in reducing anxiety levels in preoperative urology patients at Ir. Soekarno Sukoharjo Regional General Hospital. The method used was an intervention in preoperative patients who received binaural beats music therapy for 30 minutes via a headset. Then, anxiety was measured using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) before and after the intervention, with its validity and reliability confirmed through preliminary testing. The sample consisted of five patients selected through purposive sampling who met the following inclusion criteria: experiencing moderate to severe anxiety, being conscious and cooperative, having no hearing impairment, and being willing to participate in the intervention. The results showed that all patients experienced a decrease in anxiety scores after therapy. Three patients experienced a decrease in anxiety levels from moderate (14-18) to mild (9-12), while two patients experienced a decrease in anxiety levels from severe (23-21) to moderate (15-16). These findings suggest that binaural beats therapy is effective in helping reduce anxiety in preoperative patients, particularly those undergoing urological surgery.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health problem, and effective case detection is essential for strengthening the Global Health Security (GHS) Detection Pillar, particularly in high-burden countries such as Indonesia. To retrospectively analyse tuberculosis (TB) case detection data from a single referral hospital in Mataram, Indonesia (2022–2024), and assess its implications for the Global Health Security (GHS) Detection Pillar. This study employed a descriptive retrospective design using Secondary Data extracted from the hospital tuberculosis (TB) register. All recorded TB cases registered between January 2022 and December 2024 were included in the analysis (total sampling) Annual case counts were tabulated and descriptively analysed. Findings were qualitatively mapped to three components of the GHS Detection Pillar: surveillance system strengthening, laboratory capacity, and frontline health worker empowerment. A total of 315 TB cases were identified over the three-year period. Annual case counts increased substantially from 33 cases in 2022 to 140 cases in 2023 and slightly to 142 cases in 2024. Although the upward trend may indicate improved institutional detection capacity, the absence of denominator data limits interpretation, as true case detection rates could not be calculated. The hospital’s activities demonstrated alignment with all three assessed components of the GHS Detection Pillar. Hospital-based TB detection efforts may contribute to strengthening components of global health security. However, interpretation of increased case detection should be made cautiously in the absence of data on testing coverage and linkage with broader surveillance or laboratory systems.

Abstract

Bronchopneumonia in children can cause impaired gas exchange characterized by increased respiratory rate and decreased oxygen saturation. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as balloon blowing, are considered effective for increasing lung expansion and strengthening respiratory muscles. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of balloon blowing techniques on respiratory rate and oxygen saturation in children aged 6–14 years with bronchopneumonia. This study uses a case study method with a descriptive nursing care approach, implementing Evidence-Based Nursing, to determine the impact of the the Balloon Blowing technique intervention on children aged 6-14 years with a diagnosis of Bronchopneumonia. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, namely, children aged 6-14 years with a diagnosis of Bronchopneumonia at a hospital in Central Java. The intervention lasted 20 minutes in a single session, using deep breathing techniques combined with balloon blowing. Data collection was conducted through a nursing assessment process that included interviews with parents and children regarding the patient's complaints, observation of the patient's condition, measurement of respiratory rate (RR), measurement of oxygen saturation (SpO₂) using an oximeter, and lung auscultation using a stethoscope to detect additional breath sounds. Measurements were conducted twice, namely before and after the intervention. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively by comparing changes in respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and the patient's subjective response before and after the intervention to determine the effectiveness of the Balloon Blowing technique in improving respiratory function in children with bronchopneumonia. The results showed that all patients experienced a decrease in respiratory rate from tachypnea to the normal range (from an average of 30.8 to 24.2 breaths/min) and an increase in oxygen saturation (from an average of 95.6% to 98%). In addition, patients reported subjective improvements, including reduced shortness of breath and increased comfort. The balloon blowing technique is a simple, safe, and effective non-pharmacological surgical intervention to improve respiratory function in children with bronchopneumonia.

Abstract

Abortion in the first pregnancy often causes significant psychological effects, especially related to feelings of loss and grief. This condition can affect the emotional well-being of mothers, especially at a young age and without adequate social support. This study aims to describe the psychological condition of mothers after their first pregnancy abortion in relation to loss and grief based on the mother's age, gestational age, and the results of The Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS) measurement. This study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The study used a purposive sampling technique, in which respondents were selected based on specific criteria determined by the researcher. The sample consisted of four respondents who met the inclusion criteria, namely mothers who had experienced abortion during their first pregnancy and received treatment at PKU Singkil Aisyiyah Boyolali Hospital between July and August 2025. Data were collected through subjective interviews and the Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS) questionnaire to assess the level of grief in mothers after abortion during their first pregnancy. The PGS questionnaire has been proven to be valid and reliable, with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of >0.90, and consists of three subscales: Active Grief, Difficulty Coping, and Despair. The data were analyzed descriptively to describe the level of grief experienced by the respondents. The results showed that total PGS scores ranged from 74 to 136, with moderate to severe grief categories. Respondents who were younger (23–25 years old) and had earlier pregnancies (10–13 weeks) showed more severe grief, especially on the Active Grief and Despair subscales. Conversely, more mature mothers (aged 27–30 years) with pregnancies of 14–16 weeks showed a better stage of acceptance thanks to family support and emotional maturity. The level of grief in mothers after their first pregnancy abortion is influenced by age, gestational age, and social support.

Abstract

The circulation of counterfeit drugs is a serious problem that threatens public health in Indonesia, particularly in Central Java. These dangerous counterfeit drugs not only harm consumers economically but can also cause fatal health effects, including poisoning, drug resistance, and even death. The Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM), as the government agency responsible for drug and food supervision, plays a crucial role in addressing this problem. BPOM's duties include supervision, law enforcement, and public education about the dangers and risks of using substandard drugs. This study aims to determine the role of BPOM in addressing the circulation of counterfeit drugs within the legal framework of consumer protection in Central Java. This research is a non-experimental study using qualitative descriptive methods, triangulation (combined) data collection, and inductive or qualitative analysis. The data collection techniques used were interviews, observation, and documentation, which were then processed and analyzed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the informants, as well as through observations and documentation of counterfeit drug cases provided by the Semarang City Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM). The study found that the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM)'s role in addressing counterfeit drug distribution and protecting consumers in Central Java remains ineffective, with numerous counterfeit drug discoveries occurring. Factors such as limited inspection resources, low public awareness of the dangers of counterfeit drugs, and the complexity of distribution networks are key challenges, indicating that current oversight and law enforcement efforts are inadequate.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that requires long-term management through pharmacological therapy and adherence to self-care. Non-compliance with self-care can lead to uncontrolled blood glucose levels and increase the risk of acute and chronic complications. Health education is one nursing intervention that can improve self-care adherence in DM patients. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of implementing self-care education leaflets in improving self-care adherence among DM patients. This study used a case study design with a pre-post monitoring approach. Respondents were three DM patients selected purposively. The intervention, in the form of self-care education using leaflets, was administered once, followed by three monitoring sessions on October 24, 26, and 28, 2025. The instrument used was the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA), which assesses four aspects: diet, physical activity, blood sugar monitoring, and foot care. The data analysis was descriptive, comparing SDSCA scores and Random Blood Sugar (RBS) levels before and after the intervention. Pre-test scores were obtained during the first evaluation, before respondents received self-care education through leaflets. Post-test scores were assessed through the second and third evaluations after the intervention. Changes in adherence were identified by increases in SDSCA scores for each respondent, while decreases in RBS levels evaluated glycemic control during the monitoring period. The results were presented in tables and narratively interpreted to describe changes in self-care behaviour and blood glucose levels after the educational intervention. Self-care adherence scores increased among all respondents following education. SDSCA scores increased from poor to adequate, then to good. This increase in adherence was accompanied by a gradual decrease in GDS levels at each evaluation. Self-care education using leaflets, accompanied by SDSCA monitoring, was effective in increasing self-care adherence and improving glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Anxiety in preschool children is caused by the hospitalisation process. Anxiety arises when they undergo hospitalisation and are faced with various new challenges, such as unfamiliar surroundings, interactions with strangers, meeting nurses, and fear of separation from their parents. An intervention used in an effort to reduce anxiety is bibliotherapy. With this intervention, it is hoped that the anxiety levels of preschool children as a result of hospitalisation can be effectively reduced. To evaluate the effectiveness of bibliotherapy intervention in reducing anxiety in preschool children during hospitalisation based on evidence based research. This study is an SLR/Systematic Literature Review with a PRISMA/Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses approach. The systematic review uses PICO. Research articles were searched using electronic databases, namely: Google Scholar, Ebsco, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct, covering the period from 2015 to 2025. The methodological quality was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute tools and analysed using PRISMA 2020, with narrative synthesis due to study heterogeneity. From an initial 815 articles identified, 7 relevant studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed, primarily Quasi Experimental and RCTs. The keywords used were anxiety, bibliotherapy, children, preschool, and hospitalisation. The database search was analysed using PRISMA 2020. The titles were found to be relevant to the topic under review. Seven research articles were reviewed, and the results showed that bibliotherapy intervention provided effective evidence of reducing anxiety in preschool children during hospitalisation. The application of bibliotherapy intervention provided effective evidence of reducing anxiety in preschool children during hospitalisation.

Abstract

Postpartum depression is a serious mental health disorder that affects the well-being of both mother and baby, with a global prevalence of 10–20%. In South Tangerang, 32.5% of mothers experience baby blues, which carries a risk of developing into depression. Early detection is still hindered by inefficient manual screening, social stigma, and a lack of privacy. This research emphasizes the need for a digital screening system that facilitates early intervention. The study was a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model and an explanatory sequential mixed methods design. Quantitative data were collected through a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 136 postpartum mothers at three Community Health Centers in South Tangerang using purposive sampling. The EPDS and TAM instruments were used, while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews. Data were processed and analyzed using SPSS through editing, coding, data entry, and cleaning stages. Quantitative analysis included descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analysis, while qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The NABILAH website was rated “Very Feasible” by experts (100%), media experts (98.91%), and accepted by users (88.84%). Depression scores decreased significantly from week 1 to week 4 after the intervention (p = 0.000). Lack of physical activity was identified as the dominant factor (OR 14.357). Qualitative analysis showed that the system effectively addressed privacy and time efficiency constraints and provided a sense of security for mothers. The NABILAH model has been proven effective and feasible as a digital screening solution in primary care services.

Abstract

Snacking behavior among elementary school students contributes substantially to daily energy intake and may increase the risk of consuming foods high in sugar, fat, and food additives such as preservatives, colorings, flavor enhancers, and sweeteners (4P). The school food environment and family economic factors are assumed to influence such behavior. This study aimed to analyze the effect of pocket money and purchase location on 4P snacking behavior among elementary school students. A quantitative cross-sectional design was applied involving 23 fourth-grade students at SDN Karangrejo VI Jember by total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing pocket money categories, snack purchase locations, and 4P snacking behavior scores, which have been validated and are reliable. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square tests. The results showed that most students received IDR 6,000–10,000 as daily pocket money (57%) and predominantly purchased snacks at the school canteen (60%). The highest proportion of 4P snack consumption was 1–2 times per week (56.5%). Statistical analysis indicated no significant association between pocket money (p=0.231) or purchase location (p=0.366) and 4P snacking behavior. These findings suggest that children’s snacking behavior is influenced by more complex and interacting factors.
