Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a common chronic disease among older adults and increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, kidney dysfunction, disability, and premature mortality. Identifying patient characteristics is necessary for developing appropriate hypertension-management programmes at the primary healthcare level. Research Objective: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of older adults with hypertension at the Poasia Primary Health Care Centre, Kendari. Methods: This quantitative study employed a descriptive design involving 42 older adults with hypertension selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, medical records, anthropometric assessments, and direct blood pressure measurements. The data were analysed using univariate analysis and presented as frequencies and percentages. Results: Most respondents were aged 60–69 years (57.1%), female (61.9%), had primary-school education (42.9%), and were not working or were housewives (59.5%). Grade 1 hypertension was identified in 54.8% of respondents, while 59.5% reported a family history of hypertension and 57.1% had comorbidities. More than half were overweight or obese (54.8%). Although 64.3% regularly took antihypertensive medication and 59.5% routinely attended healthcare examinations, several respondents demonstrated irregular medication use and follow-up attendance. Conclusion: Older adults with hypertension had diverse demographic and clinical characteristics requiring comprehensive management. Regular monitoring, medication-adherence support, nutritional counselling, physical activity, and family involvement should be strengthened to improve hypertension control and prevent complications.

Abstract

Background: Timely emergency management is essential for preventing complications, disability, and mortality among emergency patients. Nurses’ knowledge influences their ability to assess patients, determine triage priorities, recognize life-threatening conditions, and provide appropriate interventions without delay. Research Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between nurses’ knowledge level and the timeliness of emergency management at the Emergency Department of Sinjai Regional General Hospital. Methods: This quantitative study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted in 2024 and involved all 21 nurses working in the Emergency Department, selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire and an emergency-management timeliness observation sheet. Univariate analysis was performed using frequencies and percentages, while bivariate analysis used Fisher’s exact test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: Of the 21 nurses, 11 (52.4%) had good knowledge, six (28.6%) had moderate knowledge, and four (19.0%) had poor knowledge. Fourteen nurses (66.7%) provided timely emergency management, while seven (33.3%) did not. Fisher’s exact test showed a significant relationship between nurses’ knowledge and management timeliness (p = 0.024). Conclusion: Nurses with good knowledge were more likely to provide timely emergency management. Continuous training, clinical simulation, competency evaluation, and response-time monitoring are recommended to improve emergency care quality and patient safety.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major chronic health problem among older adults and requires continuous self-management. Age-related limitations may reduce medication adherence, healthy lifestyle practices, and regular blood pressure monitoring. Family participation can support older adults in managing hypertension at home. Research Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Family-Based Self-Management Model in improving self-management behaviour and hypertension control among older adults in the community. Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a pretest–posttest control-group design. Forty-two older adults with hypertension were selected through purposive sampling and allocated to intervention and control groups, with 21 participants in each group. The intervention was implemented for eight weeks. Data were analysed using paired and independent t-tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The intervention group demonstrated a significant increase in self-management scores from 52.38 to 73.71 (p < 0.001). Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased by 20.86 and 10.19 mmHg, respectively. After the intervention, 66.7% of participants in the intervention group achieved controlled hypertension, compared with 23.8% in the control group (p = 0.005). Conclusion: The Family-Based Self-Management Model effectively improved self-management behaviour, medication adherence, and blood pressure control among older adults. Its integration into community hypertension programmes is recommended.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries remains common among school-aged children and can cause pain, infection, eating difficulties, school absence, and reduced quality of life. Because children’s daily oral health practices develop mainly within families, prevention requires active caregiver participation. Research Objective: This study aimed to explore experiences, perceptions, barriers, facilitators, and expectations regarding a family-based oral health promotion model for dental caries prevention. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study involved 24 participants: eight children, eight parents, four teachers, two community health workers, and two dental professionals. Participants were recruited purposively. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus-group discussions and analysed thematically. Trustworthiness was supported through triangulation, member checking, peer discussion, and an audit trail. Results: Five themes emerged: caries was considered a minor problem; children’s oral hygiene was inconsistent; family behaviour shaped children’s habits; families experienced practical, social, and economic barriers; and integrated family–school–healthcare collaboration was required. Participants proposed education, parental modelling, supervised toothbrushing, reduced sugar exposure, school reinforcement, and regular dental screening. Conclusion: Dental caries prevention requires coordinated support from families, schools, and healthcare providers. The proposed model may strengthen sustainable preventive behaviour but requires feasibility testing and outcome evaluation in diverse communities.

Abstract

Background: Waste collection workers face biological, physical, mechanical, ergonomic, and environmental hazards during their daily activities. However, their experiences in implementing occupational safety and health culture remain underexplored. Research Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences of waste collection workers in implementing occupational safety and health culture. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study involved 15 waste collection workers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews and non-participant observations. The data were analysed thematically through familiarisation, coding, categorisation, theme development, review, and interpretation. Trustworthiness was ensured through triangulation, member checking, peer discussion, and an audit trail. Results: Four themes were identified: daily exposure to multiple occupational hazards, inconsistent use of personal protective equipment, experience-based safety practices and peer support, and the need for stronger organisational support. Workers understood the importance of workplace safety and developed practical strategies to prevent injuries. Nevertheless, safety implementation was constrained by inadequate and uncomfortable protective equipment, limited training, hazardous working conditions, and insufficient supervision. Conclusion: Occupational safety culture among waste collection workers is shaped by individual awareness, practical experience, peer relationships, organisational commitment, and community waste-disposal practices. Adequate protective equipment, continuous training, health monitoring, supportive supervision, and community education are necessary to establish safer and more sustainable working conditions.

Abstract

Background: Population ageing increases families’ responsibilities for providing long-term care to older adults in the community. However, family caregivers frequently perform complex tasks with limited knowledge, resources, and professional assistance. Research Objective: This study explored families’ experiences in supporting older adults’ care in Buton Regency from a community nursing perspective. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study involved 15 family caregivers recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and field notes. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. Trustworthiness was established through member checking, peer discussion, reflexive notes, contextual descriptions, and an audit trail. Results: Five themes emerged: caregiving as a moral and cultural responsibility; families as coordinators of everyday care; multidimensional caregiving challenges; adaptation, spirituality, and shared family support; and the need for accessible, family-centred community nursing. Participants provided care, managed medication and nutrition, monitored symptoms, and made healthcare decisions. However, they experienced fatigue, emotional strain, financial pressure, limited caregiving knowledge, and geographical barriers. Conclusion: Families constitute the foundation of community-based older-adult care but require structured professional support. Community nurses should provide regular home visits, practical education, caregiver assessment, accessible consultation, and coordinated referrals to improve care quality and caregiver well-being.

Abstract

Background: Hospitalization can provoke anxiety and reduced quality of life among children. Family involvement combined with digital media may strengthen coping and create a supportive care experience. Research Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a family-based digital intervention in reducing anxiety and improving quality of life among hospitalized children. Methods: A randomized controlled trial involved 60 children aged 6–12 years in a ward in Makassar. Participants were recruited consecutively and randomly allocated to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received a tablet-based family program for 20–30 minutes twice daily for three days, while the control group received usual care. Anxiety and quality of life were assessed using the STAIC and PedsQL 4.0. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and repeated-measures ANOVA. Results: Anxiety decreased more substantially in the intervention group than in the control group (mean change: −13.90 vs −4.20; p<0.001). Quality-of-life scores increased significantly (16.80 vs 4.90; p<0.001). Significant group-by-time interactions were identified for anxiety and quality of life. Conclusion: Family-based digital interventions effectively reduced anxiety and improved quality of life, supporting their integration into family-centered pediatric nursing care.

Abstract

Background: Caring for children with chronic illnesses requires parents to manage complex treatment demands, emotional uncertainty, changing family roles, and healthcare access barriers. Understanding these experiences is essential for developing culturally responsive family-centered pediatric care across diverse local communities. Research Objective: This study explored parents’ experiences in caring for children with chronic illnesses in Baubau, Southeast Sulawesi, from a family-centered care perspective. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study with a phenomenological approach involved 15 parents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through face-to-face, semi-structured, in-depth interviews and field notes. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s six-stage thematic analysis. Trustworthiness was maintained through triangulation, member checking, peer debriefing, reflective notes, and an audit trail. Results: Five themes were identified: emotional adaptation from shock to acceptance; reorganization of family roles and daily routines; financial, geographical, and service-related barriers; inconsistent partnership with healthcare professionals; and resilience supported by spirituality and social relationships. Parents valued clear information, respectful communication, practical education, emotional support, and participation in treatment decisions. Referral outside Baubau increased transportation costs, income loss, and separation from other family members. Conclusion: Caring for children with chronic illnesses affects the entire family and requires sustained professional and social support. Healthcare facilities should strengthen culturally responsive family-centered care through shared decision-making, caregiver education, psychological and spiritual support, peer-support groups, and coordinated referral services.

Abstract

Background: Noncommunicable diseases remain a major public health challenge, although many risk factors can be reduced through consistent preventive behaviours. Health literacy, self-efficacy, and social support may determine individuals’ capacity to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles. Research Objective: This study examined the roles of health literacy, self-efficacy, and social support as determinants of noncommunicable disease prevention behaviours among adults in Makassar, Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study involved 200 adults selected through multistage random sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression at a significance level of p<0.05. Results: Good prevention behaviour was identified in 51.0% of respondents. Health literacy (r=0.574), self-efficacy (r=0.612), and social support (r=0.486) were positively correlated with prevention behaviour (all p<0.001). Multiple linear regression showed that self-efficacy was the strongest determinant (β=0.356), followed by health literacy (β=0.302) and social support (β=0.218). The model explained 52.9% of the variance in prevention behaviour. Conclusion: Stronger self-efficacy, adequate health literacy, and supportive social environments promote better noncommunicable disease prevention behaviours. Community programmes should integrate health education, behavioural empowerment, family support, and accessible periodic screening within diverse urban community settings and primary healthcare services.

Abstract

Background: Coastal communities experience multiple barriers that may restrict healthcare utilization despite insurance coverage and healthcare facilities. Research Objective: This study analysed determinants of healthcare utilization among coastal communities in Sinjai Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study involved 61 respondents selected through proportionate stratified random sampling from coastal and island areas. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire based on Andersen’s Behavioral Model. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and multiple binary logistic regression were applied, with significance established at p<0.05. Results: Overall, 62.3% of respondents used formal healthcare services when needed. Bivariate analysis identified associations with knowledge, cultural beliefs, JKN membership, distance, transportation, family support, perceived service quality, healthcare need, and chronic disease. Multivariate analysis showed that transportation availability was the strongest determinant (AOR=4.38), followed by active JKN membership (AOR=4.16), high perceived healthcare need (AOR=3.91), and good health knowledge (AOR=3.72). The model explained 52.2% of utilization variation. Conclusion: Equitable healthcare utilization requires accessible transportation, active insurance membership, health knowledge, and recognition of healthcare needs. Coastal health strategies should integrate transportation support, JKN assistance, outreach services, preventive screening, and context-sensitive health education.
