<![CDATA[Hypertension is one of the most common chronic conditions among older adults. It is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as kidney disorders. Complementary therapies have emerged as a supportive approach to blood pressure management. This study aims to analyze the effect of dry cupping therapy on blood pressure in older adults with hypertension. The study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group time-series approach. A total of 20 older adults with hypertension were selected using purposive sampling in the service area of the Banjarangkan I Community Health Center, Klungkung Regency, Bali. Participants received dry cupping therapy four times at one-week intervals. Blood pressure measurements were taken before the first intervention and after the final intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that dry cupping therapy significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure in older adults with hypertension. The findings suggest that dry cupping therapy has the potential to serve as a safe and effective complementary nursing intervention to support hypertension management in primary health care and community settings.]]>

<![CDATA[Mental disorders are health issues that have a far-reaching impact on individuals, families, and communities. The successful recovery of people with mental disorders is greatly influenced by the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of the community in which they live. Stigma and discriminatory treatment that still occur can hinder the process of rehabilitation and social reintegration. This study employs a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The study subjects are residents of Banjar Dajan Rurung, Batubulan Kangin Village, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected via a questionnaire assessing the community’s knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward people with mental disorders, and were subsequently analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that the majority of the community possesses adequate to good levels of knowledge regarding mental disorders. Community attitudes generally fall into the “adequate” category and are generally positive, although negative attitudes were still observed among some respondents. Regarding behavior, the majority of the community has demonstrated sufficiently supportive behavior; however, tendencies toward avoidance and stigma persist in social interactions with people with mental disorders. These findings suggest that increased knowledge has not yet been fully reflected in optimal changes in attitudes and behaviour. Therefore, ongoing education and outreach are essential for community nursing practice, education, and services to increase public acceptance and support the recovery and social reintegration of people with mental disorders.]]>

<![CDATA[Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that requires continuous self-management, particularly adherence to dietary recommendations. Poor dietary adherence remains a common challenge in primary health care settings, and self-motivation may play an important role in helping patients maintain healthy eating behaviors. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-motivation and dietary adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Dawan II Community Health Center. This quantitative study used a descriptive-correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, selected through purposive sampling according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring self-motivation and dietary adherence, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman's rank correlation test. The findings showed that most respondents had high self-motivation and were categorized as adherent to dietary recommendations. The analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between self-motivation and dietary adherence, suggesting that patients with stronger internal motivation were more likely to follow recommended dietary behaviors. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening motivational support, individualized counseling, and family involvement in diabetes education programs at the primary health care level.]]>

<![CDATA[Anxiety is a psychological issue that adolescents may experience, and that can potentially affect sleep quality. Suboptimal sleep quality among students can affect their ability to concentrate in class, academic readiness, and physical and psychological health. This study aims to examine the relationship between anxiety levels and sleep quality among 11th-grade students at SMAN 1 Ubud. This study employed a quantitative design using a descriptive-correlational approach and a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of 11th-grade students at SMAN 1 Ubud, and the sample was selected according to the study criteria. The study variables included anxiety levels as the independent variable and sleep quality as the dependent variable. Data were collected using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale to measure anxiety levels and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to measure sleep quality. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis and Spearman's rank correlation test. The study's results indicate that most students have normal anxiety levels and good sleep quality. The main findings indicate a relationship between anxiety levels and sleep quality among students. This study concludes that anxiety levels are associated with students' sleep quality; therefore, efforts to detect anxiety early and promote healthy sleep should be prioritized in the context of school health.]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension requires sustained management, yet some patients seek complementary approaches that may support conventional care. This study aimed to examine changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure following dry cupping among patients with hypertension. A quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted at Usada Dawa Clinic, Klungkung Regency, Bali. Twenty-two participants were selected through purposive sampling and received dry cupping for 7–8 minutes per session, twice weekly for two consecutive weeks. Blood pressure was measured before the first session and after the final session using an aneroid sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. Descriptive statistics summarized participant characteristics and blood pressure values, while paired-samples t tests compared pre-intervention and post-intervention measurements. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were lower after completion of the intervention, and both pre–post differences were statistically significant. These findings provide preliminary evidence that dry cupping may be considered as an adjunctive approach within complementary nursing care when delivered safely and integrated with prescribed medication, lifestyle modification, and routine monitoring. However, the absence of a control group, the small sample, and the single-clinic setting limit causal interpretation and broader generalization. Larger controlled studies are needed to determine whether these changes are sustained and clinically meaningful.]]>

<![CDATA[Adolescence is a sensitive developmental period in which emotional regulation, peer relationships, and self-identity are still forming, while social media has become an increasingly familiar part of daily life. Understanding how social media use appears alongside adolescents’ mental health is important for school-based health promotion and early psychosocial support. This study aimed to describe social media use and mental health status among adolescents at SMP Negeri 1 Abiansemal. A quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted among 178 seventh-grade students selected through stratified random sampling. Social media use was measured using a researcher-developed questionnaire, while adolescent mental health status was assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency distributions, percentages, and cross-tabulation. The findings showed that most respondents were frequent social media users. Mental health profiles varied across domains, with most adolescents categorized as borderline in the prosocial behavior or strengths domain, normal in the difficulties domain, and normal in general mental health status. Frequent social media use was observed across different mental health categories, indicating a varied psychosocial profile rather than a single uniform pattern. These findings provide baseline information for nurses, teachers, and school health professionals in developing early screening, healthy social media education, and preventive mental health programs for adolescents.]]>

<![CDATA[Cyberbullying among adolescents has become a growing concern as digital communication and social media increasingly shape students' daily interactions. Family parenting practices, particularly democratic parenting, may play an important role in guiding adolescents to communicate responsibly, regulate emotions, and respect others in online spaces. This study aimed to examine the relationship between democratic parenting quality and cyberbullying behavior among junior high school students. A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted at SMP Negeri 3 Mengwi, Badung Regency, Bali. The study involved 292 students selected using purposive sampling based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring democratic parenting quality and cyberbullying behavior. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize respondent characteristics and variable distributions, and Spearman's rank correlation was used to analyze the relationship between the two variables. The findings showed that most students perceived their parents as applying good democratic parenting practices, while cyberbullying behavior was generally low. The correlation analysis indicated a significant negative relationship between democratic parenting quality and cyberbullying behavior, suggesting that better democratic parenting was associated with lower involvement in cyberbullying. These findings highlight the importance of family-based support, parent–child communication, and school–family collaboration in preventing cyberbullying and promoting safer digital behavior among adolescents.]]>

<![CDATA[Anxiety among older adults living in nursing homes is an important mental health concern, particularly when family interaction becomes limited and emotional support is reduced. Family support may help elderly residents maintain a sense of security, belonging, and psychological stability in institutional care settings. This study aimed to examine the relationship between family support and anxiety among elderly residents in nursing homes. A quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach was used. The study involved 50 elderly residents from two nursing homes, selected using total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring perceived family support and anxiety symptoms among older adults. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Pearson product-moment correlation test. The findings showed that most respondents had low-income family support and experienced mild anxiety. The statistical analysis indicated a significant negative relationship between family support and anxiety, suggesting that stronger family support was associated with lower anxiety among elderly residents. These findings highlight the importance of family involvement in supporting the emotional well-being of older adults in nursing homes. Gerontological nursing practice should integrate family-centered care, psychosocial assessment, and supportive communication strategies to reduce anxiety and improve the quality of life of elderly residents.]]>

<![CDATA[Health cadres play a critical role in supporting primary healthcare delivery at the community level; however, their effectiveness is often constrained by fragmented management systems and limited integration with formal health services. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive community nursing model for managing health cadres in primary care settings. A qualitative case study design was employed involving 25 participants, including health cadres, nurse supervisors, and primary healthcare managers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document reviews, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings identified four key domains forming the proposed model: strategic planning, capacity development, supervision and performance evaluation, and community engagement, supported by enabling factors such as leadership, communication, resources, policy support, and information systems. The results revealed that the absence of structured management processes, limited continuous training, and inconsistent supervision negatively affected cadre performance. Conversely, integrated and community-oriented management practices enhanced coordination, competency, and service delivery effectiveness. The proposed community nursing model provides a systematic and interconnected approach to strengthening health cadre management and improving primary healthcare services.]]>

<![CDATA[Fatigue among patients undergoing hemodialysis is a multifactorial symptom resulting from complex physiological and psychological mechanisms. One important factor associated with fatigue is the patient's level of physical activity. Most individuals undergoing hemodialysis tend to reduce their physical activity because they experience rapid exhaustion, muscle weakness, or fear that physical exertion may worsen their health condition. This study used a quantitative research design, a descriptive correlational approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 44 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria and participated in the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire comprising three sections: physical activity and fatigue. The results show a significant relationship between physical activity and fatigue among patients undergoing hemodialysis. This finding is consistent with the concept of physiological adaptation in patients with chronic kidney disease, whereby regular physical activity helps preserve skeletal muscle function, improve cardiorespiratory capacity, enhance energy metabolism, and mitigate the decline in functional capacity associated with long-term hemodialysis therapy.]]>
