Abstract

Background: Work-related visual strain remains a significant occupational health problem, particularly among workers performing visually demanding tasks. Karawo craftsmen are at increased risk due to prolonged visual focus, suboptimal lighting, and close viewing distances, yet evidence on key contributing factors in this group remains limited. This study aims to analyze the relationship between several visual risk factors, including age, eye-to-object distance, length of service, working hours, lighting, work posture, and medical history, and asthenopia complaints among karawo craftsmen. Methods: The results showed significant associations between age (p = 0.001), eye-to-object distance (p = 0.007), lighting (p = 0.002), and medical history (p = 0.001) and asthenopia among karawo craftsmen. Meanwhile, length of service (p = 0.072), working hours (p = 1.000), and work posture (p = 1.000) were not associated with asthenopia. Results: The results showed significant associations between age (p = 0.001), eye-to-object distance (p = 0.007), lighting (p = 0.002), and medical history (p = 0.001) and asthenopia among karawo craftsmen. Meanwhile, length of service (p = 0.072), working hours (p = 1.000), and work posture (p = 1.000) were not associated with asthenopia. Conclusion: The study found that age, eye-to-object distance, lighting, and medical history were significantly associated with asthenopia complaints among karawo craftsmen. It is recommended that karawo craft entrepreneurs collaborate with local health centers or health services so that elderly craftsmen or those with a history of vision problems can receive regular eye examinations.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a leading cause of stroke, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease, contributing to substantial morbidity, mortality, and economic burden on healthcare systems globally. This study aims to identify risk factors associated with the prevalence of hypertension among a rural community in Central Java. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional design involving 100 respondents selected via purposive sampling. Data collection took place between July and August 2025, utilising blood pressure measurements and the completion of a questionnaire on respondent characteristics. Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test, whilst multivariate analysis employed multiple logistic regression. Results: The proportion of respondents with hypertension reached 57%. Bivariate analysis demonstrated significant associations between hypertension and age (p = 0.012), BMI/obesity (p = 0.003), physical activity (p = 0.015), high-salt diet (p = 0.001), and stress level (p = 0.045), whilst smoking was not significant (p = 0.084). Multivariate analysis identified high-salt diet as the most dominant risk factor (AOR = 4.72; 95% CI: 2.11–10.56), followed by obesity (AOR = 3.80; 95% CI: 1.74–8.26) and low physical activity (AOR = 2.65; 95% CI: 1.21–5.81). Conclusion: Hypertension incidence is influenced by a combination of lifestyle and physiological factors. Integrated promotive and preventive strategies targeting salt reduction, weight management, physical activity, and stress management are required within primary healthcare services.

Abstract

Background: During pregnancy and childbirth there is stretching of the linea alba which results in diastasis recti abdominis (DRA), a condition where the abdominal muscles separate. Postpartum women with DRA often experience non-specific low back pain. This study aims to examine the association between DRA severity and non-specific low back pain in postpartum women. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with an analytical cross-sectional study research design. A total of 30 postpartum women at the were selected as samples using a purposive sampling technique. The degree of DRA was measured using a digital caliper, while non-specific low back pain was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS). Data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation. Results: A significant positive correlation was found between DRA severity and low back pain intensity (r = 0.519; p = 0.003), indicating that higher DRA severity is associated with greater pain intensity. Conclusion: DRA severity is moderately associated with non-specific low back pain in postpartum women. These findings emphasize the importance of assessing abdominal muscle integrity in postpartum care.

Abstract

Background: Pediatric eczema (atopic dermatitis; AD) and food allergies (FA) are rising globally and share immune pathways that extend harm beyond the skin to growth, cognition, and social development—yet no synthesis has examined all three developmental domains exclusively using primary empirical evidence. This systematic review aimed to determine whether children with AD and/or FA exhibit: (1) impaired physical growth; (2) adverse cognitive and neurodevelopmental outcomes; and (3) elevated rates of behavioral and social difficulties compared to unaffected peers. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and grey literature repositories identified 210 records after deduplication. Following title/abstract screening and full-text review of 98 articles, 35 primary empirical studies—spanning diverse designs—met inclusion criteria. Systematic and narrative reviews were excluded. Results: Twenty-two of 35 studies reported impaired physical growth, including lower height, weight, BMI, and head circumference z-scores, with 18 reaching statistical significance. Deficits were most pronounced in children with severe or persistent disease and multiple allergen restrictions. Cognitive and neurodevelopmental impacts were identified in 13 studies, with effects varying by developmental domain and disease severity. Behavioral and social difficulties appeared in 10 studies, predominantly linked to severe disease and sleep disruption. Conclusion: Eczema and food allergies impair child development through interconnected immune, nutritional, and psychosocial pathways. Multidisciplinary care and early intervention are essential; clinicians should routinely refer affected children to pediatric dietitians. Future research should prioritize large longitudinal studies incorporating standardized neurodevelopmental assessments and biomarkers.

Abstract

Background: Emergency departments require effective triage systems to prioritize patients based on clinical urgency and resource needs. The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) and Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) are widely used methods with distinct approaches and applications; however, comprehensive comparisons between them remain limited. This study aimed to analyze and compare the effectiveness of ESI and START in prioritizing emergency patients. Methods: This study employed a systematic literature review of articles published between 2020 and 2026. Data were obtained from Google Scholar and ScienceDirect using keywords related to ESI, START, and emergency triage. Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, focusing on relevance, study design, and population. A total of 10 articles met the criteria and were included in the analysis. Data were analyzed using critical appraisal to synthesize findings. Results: START demonstrated significantly faster triage time (11 seconds) than ESI (18 seconds) (p < 0.001). ESI showed higher accuracy and predictive validity for clinical outcomes, including mortality, ICU admission, and resource utilization. Patients categorized as ESI level 1 had higher mortality (17%), with predictive performance (sensitivity 82.1% and negative predictive value 99.9%). In contrast, START showed acceptable sensitivity but carried risks of over-triage and under-triage. Some studies found no significant relationship between ESI and response time (p > 0.05). Conclusion: ESI provides more accurate patient classification in routine emergency settings, whereas START enables faster decision-making and is suited for mass casualty incidents. The selection of triage systems should consider clinical context and resource availability.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Indonesia is highly vulnerable to natural disasters due to its location along major tectonic plates and the Pacific Ring of Fire, with Mount Merapi posing significant risks to communities in Disaster-Prone Area (KRB) III. Elementary school students in this area are particularly vulnerable because they often lack adequate disaster preparedness knowledge, highlighting the urgent need for early and age-appropriate disaster education. This study aimed to examine the effect of snakes and ladders game-based education on improving disaster preparedness knowledge among elementary school students. Methods: This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 85 fourth- and fifth-grade students were recruited using total sampling. Disaster preparedness knowledge was measured using a questionnaire, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test Results: An improvement in students' preparedness knowledge was observed after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of the snakes and ladders educational game on students' disaster preparedness knowledge. (p<0.001). Conclusion: Health education using a snakes and ladders game is effective in improving disaster preparedness knowledge related to Mount Merapi eruptions among elementary school students. Health education using a snakes and ladders game is effective in improving disaster preparedness knowledge related to Mount Merapi eruptions among elementary school students. This finding implies that game-based learning can be integrated into school-based disaster education programs as an engaging and effective strategy to enhance early preparedness among children in high-risk areas.

Abstract

Background Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) accounts for the majority of the global disease burden and stands as the leading cause of years lived with disability, necessitating urgent yet optimized rehabilitation strategies. Given the clinical controversy and varying evidence regarding whether active exercise therapy or passive Kinesio Taping provides superior outcomes, a direct comparative synthesis is highly critical. This research aims to systematically discover, summarize, and compare the distinct impacts of structured exercise therapy and KT on pain mitigation and functional recovery in adult NSLBP populations. Methods: Adhering to PRISMA reporting protocols, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2016 and 2025were systematically retrieved from PubMed and Scopus databases, initially yielding 124 total citations before screening. The selection was anchored on the PICO framework: Individuals diagnosed with NSLBP; structured exercise protocols; Kinesio Taping implementation; and validated pain scale and functional disability indexes. Results: After rigorous screening and exclusion of irrelevant or low-quality papers based on the predefined criteria, a final synthesis of five randomized controlled trials (mean PEDro score 7.2/10) was analyzed. The narrative synthesis demonstrates that exercise therapy and Kinesio Taping serve complementary roles in rehabilitation. Exercise therapy is identified as the gold standard for long-term functional improvement and recurrence prevention. Meanwhile, Kinesio Taping provides significant immediate pain relief and proprioceptive stimulation, which effectively facilitates earlier participation in active exercise programs, particularly during the acute phase. Conclusion: Exercise Therapy and Kinesio Taping are not antagonistic but complementary. Exercise therapy is the gold standard for long-term rehabilitation and prevention of recurrence. Kinesio taping may provide immediate pain relief and proprioceptive stimulation that facilitates early participation in active exercise.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Cervical cancer remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality among women in developing countries, despite being largely preventable through early detection. This study addresses the low uptake of screening in Desa Kolam, Deli Serdang Regency, where 92.07% of women of reproductive age have never undergone Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid, reflecting suboptimal use of available services. The primary objective was to analyze the effect of an educational intervention on cervical cancer screening on the knowledge and attitudes of women of reproductive age in Desa Kolam. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was used involving 88 women of childbearing age selected through purposive sampling. Knowledge and attitudes were measured using structured questionnaires before and after a face-to-face educational intervention on cervical cancer and VIA screening. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests with a significance level of p<0.05.  Results: The mean knowledge score increased from 52.03±6.96 before the intervention to 85.60±7.61 after the intervention, with a mean increase of 33.57 points (p=0.001). The mean attitude score increased from 51.82±12.46 to 84.32±8.41, with a mean increase of 32.50 points (p=0.001).  Conclusion: In conclusion, education on cervical cancer and screening proved effective in improving knowledge and fostering more favorable attitudes among women of reproductive age, suggesting that structured educational programs can serve as an important strategy to enhance screening coverage in rural settings.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Mini Neuroscience Education as an innovative approach to improving mothers' understanding of child growth and development in community-based maternal health programs. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted in Kabupaten Banjar, South Kalimantan, Indonesia, involving 40 mothers with children aged 12–36 months selected through purposive sampling. The inclusion criteria comprised mothers who were willing to participate, had children within the specified age range, and completed all study procedures. Mothers who did not complete the intervention sessions or submitted incomplete questionnaires were excluded. Participants received Mini Neuroscience Education through videos, visual illustrations, and interactive explanations. The posttest was administered immediately after the intervention on the same day. Data were collected using a validated 15-item questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The mean score increased from 8.75 ± 2.10 at pretest to 12.88 ± 1.49 at posttest, with a mean difference of 4.13 ± 1.539. A statistically significant improvement was observed (Z = -5.481; p < 0.001), with 39 participants showing increased scores and one participant showing no change. The effect size (r = 0.88) indicated a very large intervention effect.  Conclusion: Mini Neuroscience Education demonstrated considerable potential as an innovative, practical, and community-friendly approach to enhancing maternal understanding of child growth and development.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder requiring appropriate dietary management. Meal-sequence modification, particularly consuming protein before carbohydrates, may help regulate postprandial glucose levels. Methods: This quasi-experimental study involved 26 patients with T2DM selected using non-probability purposive sampling. Participants received two meal-sequence interventions for two weeks: protein before carbohydrates (Intervention A) and protein together with carbohydrates (Intervention B). Group 1 received 40 g of red bean soup, while Group 2 received 22 g of beef soup. FBG and 2h-PBG were measured at each intervention stage and analyzed using the Independent Samples T-Test at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: After Intervention A, mean FBG was 147.54 ± 19.40 mg/dL in Group 1 and 147.31 ± 26.83 mg/dL in Group 2 (p = 0.980), while 2h-PBG was 193.38 ± 23.45 and 210.31 ± 53.40 mg/dL, respectively (p = 0.306). After Intervention B, mean FBG was 148.31 ± 20.39 and 156.23 ± 24.82 mg/dL (p = 0.383), while 2h-PBG was 189.23 ± 26.94 and 220.92 ± 55.85 mg/dL (p = 0.078), respectively. Conclusion: No significant differences in FBG or 2h-PBG were observed between the plant-based and animal-based protein groups. However, the consistently lower 2h-PBG with red bean consumption suggests a potentially favorable glycemic response warranting further investigation. Meal sequencing may be considered as a complementary dietary strategy alongside appropriate dietary intake and glycemic control.
