Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among older adults worldwide. Regular physical activity, including elderly exercise, has been recommended as an effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve blood pressure control. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of structured elderly exercise programs among hypertensive older adults in Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, remains limited. Research Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of an elderly exercise program on blood pressure among older adults with hypertension using a quasi-experimental design. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest study was conducted involving 32 older adults with hypertension selected through purposive sampling. Participants attended structured elderly exercise sessions three times per week for four weeks, with each session lasting 30–40 minutes. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention using a calibrated digital sphygmomanometer. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and the paired-samples t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 154.8 ± 9.7 mmHg before the intervention to 144.2 ± 8.5 mmHg after the intervention, while the mean diastolic blood pressure decreased from 94.6 ± 6.4 mmHg to 87.8 ± 5.5 mmHg. The paired-samples t-test demonstrated statistically significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure after the elderly exercise program (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The elderly exercise program effectively reduced blood pressure among older adults with hypertension. Integrating structured elderly exercise into routine community health services may enhance hypertension management and promote healthy aging.

Abstract

Background: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an essential component of occupational safety and health, serving as the last line of defense against workplace hazards. Despite the availability of PPE in many workplaces, worker compliance remains suboptimal, contributing to occupational injuries and reduced productivity. Understanding the determinants of PPE compliance is essential for developing effective workplace safety interventions, particularly in rapidly developing regions such as Baubau City, Southeast Sulawesi. Research Objective: This study aimed to identify the determinants of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) compliance among workers in Baubau City, Southeast Sulawesi. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July 2026 involving 120 workers selected through proportionate random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing respondents' characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, occupational safety training, supervision, PPE availability, management support, and PPE compliance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test for bivariate analysis, and multiple logistic regression to determine the dominant factors associated with PPE compliance. Statistical significance was established at p < 0.05. Results: The majority of respondents (69.2%) were compliant with PPE use. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between PPE compliance and knowledge (p = 0.001), attitude (p = 0.002), occupational safety training (p = 0.004), supervision (p = 0.001), PPE availability (p = 0.006), and management support (p = 0.001). Multiple logistic regression identified supervision as the strongest determinant of PPE compliance (AOR = 3.41; 95% CI: 1.52–7.67; p = 0.003). Conclusion: PPE compliance among workers is influenced by both individual and organizational factors, with supervision emerging as the strongest predictor. Strengthening occupational safety training, ensuring adequate PPE availability, enhancing workplace supervision, and reinforcing management commitment are recommended to improve PPE compliance and reduce occupational injuries.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a major public health problem worldwide. Poor dietary adherence remains one of the leading causes of uncontrolled blood glucose levels, increasing the risk of both microvascular and macrovascular complications. Understanding the relationship between dietary adherence and glycemic control is essential for improving diabetes management in primary healthcare settings. Research Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between dietary adherence and blood glucose levels among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus attending a primary healthcare center in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods: This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 40 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus selected using purposive sampling. Dietary adherence was assessed using a structured questionnaire based on national diabetes dietary guidelines, while blood glucose levels were obtained from patients' medical records. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize respondent characteristics, and the Chi-square test was performed to analyze the association between dietary adherence and blood glucose levels at a significance level of p<0.05. Results: Among the respondents, 57.5% demonstrated poor dietary adherence, while 62.5% had uncontrolled blood glucose levels. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between dietary adherence and blood glucose levels (p=0.004). Patients with poor dietary adherence were 8.71 times more likely to have uncontrolled blood glucose levels than those with good dietary adherence (OR=8.71; 95% CI=1.95–38.91). Conclusion: Dietary adherence is significantly associated with blood glucose control among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Strengthening nutrition education, individualized dietary counseling, and family-supported diabetes self-management programs is recommended to improve glycemic control and reduce diabetes-related complications in primary healthcare settings.

Abstract

Background: Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy plays a fundamental role in fetal growth and is a major determinant of infant birth weight. Poor maternal nutrition increases the risk of low birth weight (LBW), which remains a significant public health concern due to its association with neonatal morbidity, mortality, impaired growth, and long-term health complications. Understanding the relationship between maternal nutritional status and birth weight is essential for strengthening maternal and child health interventions. Research Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between maternal nutritional status during pregnancy and infant birth weight in the working area of the Tamalanrea Community Health Center, Makassar. Methods: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in July 2025. The study included 25 mothers selected through purposive sampling. Secondary data were obtained from maternal and child health records and medical records at the Tamalanrea Community Health Center. Maternal nutritional status was categorized as good or poor, while infant birth weight was classified as normal birth weight or low birth weight. Descriptive statistics were used for univariate analysis, and the Chi-square test was performed to assess the association between variables at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Among the respondents, 60.0% had good nutritional status, while 40.0% had poor nutritional status. Most infants (68.0%) were born with normal birth weight, whereas 32.0% had low birth weight. The Chi-square analysis revealed a statistically significant association between maternal nutritional status and infant birth weight (p = 0.021). Mothers with poor nutritional status were more likely to deliver low birth weight infants than mothers with adequate nutritional status. Conclusion: Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy is significantly associated with infant birth weight. Strengthening nutritional screening, nutrition education, and routine antenatal care is essential to improve maternal nutritional status and reduce the incidence of low birth weight.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, requiring continuous prevention throughout the first 1,000 days of life. Midwives occupy a strategic position in providing maternal and child healthcare, yet their lived experiences in delivering community-based stunting prevention remain insufficiently explored locally. Research Objective: This study explored midwives’ roles, experiences, strategies, and challenges in preventing stunting through maternal support during the first 1,000 days. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological study was conducted in Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, from November to December 2024. Fifteen midwives were recruited using purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analysed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method. Trustworthiness was ensured through member checking, peer debriefing, reflexivity, and an audit trail. Results: Five themes emerged: continuity of midwifery care; midwives as educators and behavioural-change agents; family and sociocultural influences; community-based collaboration; and structural barriers and adaptive strategies. Midwives provided clinical care, nutritional counselling, family engagement, cultural negotiation, growth monitoring, and interprofessional coordination. However, poverty, geographical barriers, workload, limited resources, and inconsistent family participation constrained continuous support. Conclusion: Midwives are central to integrated stunting prevention across the first 1,000 days. Strengthening staffing, transportation, professional development, family involvement, and multisectoral collaboration is necessary to deliver continuous, culturally responsive, and equitable maternal–child care.

Abstract

Background: Chronic diseases require sustained self-management and long-term treatment adherence. Nurses are strategically positioned to provide health education, yet limited evidence explains how they adapt education to patients’ needs while managing organizational and communication barriers in Indonesian healthcare settings. Research Objective: This study explored nurses’ experiences in providing health education to patients with chronic diseases in Makassar, Indonesia. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study involved 15 registered nurses selected through purposive sampling. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted until data saturation. Recordings were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s six-phase thematic analysis, supported by NVivo 14. Trustworthiness was established through member checking, field-note comparison, an audit trail, reflexivity, and detailed contextual descriptions. Results: Four themes emerged: health education as integral nursing care; communication adapted to patient needs and health literacy; patient-related and organizational barriers; and adaptive strategies emphasizing family involvement. Nurses used simple language, repetition, practical examples, demonstrations, teach-back, and motivational communication. Limited time, high workload, low health literacy, communication difficulties, inadequate resources, and limited motivation constrained educational effectiveness. Conclusion: Effective chronic disease education is continuous, individualized, and family-inclusive. Healthcare facilities should provide adequate counseling time, educational resources, and professional development in health literacy, teach-back, therapeutic communication, and motivational techniques to strengthen patient self-management outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Oral health is an important component of overall health and quality of life among university students. Although students generally have access to oral health information, maintaining consistent preventive practices remains challenging due to academic demands, lifestyle changes, social influences, and barriers to dental care. Research Objective: This study aimed to explore university students' experiences in maintaining oral health, including their perceptions, daily practices, motivations, barriers, social influences, and adaptive strategies. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted from March to May 2024 at a higher education institution in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Fifteen undergraduate students aged 18–25 years were recruited using purposive sampling until data saturation was achieved. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews lasting approximately 40–60 minutes. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six-phase thematic analysis with the support of NVivo 14. Trustworthiness was established through credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability strategies. Results: Five major themes emerged: understanding the importance of oral health, daily oral health maintenance practices, barriers to maintaining oral health, social and environmental influences, and personal motivation and adaptive strategies. Students generally recognized the importance of oral health for comfort, confidence, communication, and academic activities. However, consistent practices were challenged by academic workload, fatigue, financial limitations, fear of dental treatment, and low motivation in the absence of symptoms. Family, peers, lecturers, social media, and health campaigns influenced oral health behaviors. Students developed adaptive strategies including reminders, carrying toothbrushes, dietary control, increased water intake, and scheduling dental visits. Conclusion: Oral health maintenance among university students is a dynamic process shaped by individual, social, psychological, and environmental factors. Student-centered and contextually responsive oral health promotion is needed.

Abstract

Background: Administrative service quality is an essential component of hospital performance because registration, information, verification, payment, and complaint procedures shape patients’ overall experiences. Inefficient administration may increase waiting times, create uncertainty, delay care, and reduce trust and satisfaction. Research Objective: This study examined the relationship between administrative service quality and patient satisfaction at Sandi Karsa Hospital. Methods: A quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design involved 61 respondents recruited through consecutive sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires measuring procedural simplicity, timeliness, reliability, information clarity, staff responsiveness, accessibility, complaint management, and patient satisfaction. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation were used, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Most respondents rated administrative service quality as good (62.3%) and reported being satisfied (67.2%). Procedural simplicity obtained the highest mean score (4.05 ± 0.64), while complaint management received the lowest (3.70 ± 0.76). Spearman’s analysis demonstrated a strong, positive, and statistically significant relationship between administrative service quality and patient satisfaction (rₛ = 0.684; p < 0.001). Better administrative services were therefore associated with higher patient satisfaction. Conclusion: Administrative service quality was significantly associated with patient satisfaction. Sandi Karsa Hospital should maintain simple and clear procedures while improving service timeliness, complaint resolution, integrated information systems, staff communication, and routine satisfaction monitoring to support continuous patient-centred quality improvement.
