Abstract

Preeclampsia is a dangerous condition for pregnant mothers that causes significant health problems worldwide. It is characterized by high blood pressure, with readings greater than 140/90 mmHg, occurring after 20 weeks of pregnancy. However, in reality, many pregnant mothers still do not know the methods to prevent preeclampsia. Studies show that the knowledge possessed by pregnant mothers influences their behavior; therefore, mothers with a lack of knowledge tend not to engage in preeclampsia prevention. This research aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of pregnant mothers about preeclampsia and their behavior in preventing preeclampsia in the Padangsari Health Center work area. This study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted in the Padangsari Health Center work area, Semarang City. The sample size consisted of 55 respondents, selected using a non-probability sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The research instrument was a questionnaire measuring the level of knowledge about preeclampsia and preeclampsia prevention behavior, developed by the researcher and tested for validity and reliability. The results indicate a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and preeclampsia prevention behavior. The statistical test using the Chi-Square test yielded a significance value (sig-p = 0.000) < α (0.05), so Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted.

Abstract

Background: Pressure ulcers are a significant concern commonly encountered by the elderly, both in medical institutions and domestic settings. The worldwide incidence of pressure ulcers in the elderly varies from 3.3% to 11.1%. In Indonesia, 95% of the elderly are autonomous, although 5% exhibit varied degrees of reliance, ranging from mild to complete. Preventive interventions include wound care, adequate nutrition, regular position changes, and the use of moisturizers such as olive oil. Aim : To determine the effect of using olive oil in the care of pressure ulcers in the elderly. MethodThe researcher used a systematic literature review method with five databases: Clinical Key, PubMed, Garuda, SAGE, and ProQuest, focusing on publications from 2015 to 2024. The included studies were Randomized Controlled Trials and Case-Control Studies that involved elderly > 60 years old participants as samplesResults: Based on the literature review, three RCT and quasi-experimental articles indicated that olive oil is effective in reducing the severity of pressure ulcers and the risk of worsening. Conclusion: Based on the research articles reviewed and analyzed, olive oil has been proven effective in preventing and accelerating the healing of stage 1 and 2 pressure ulcers, with a large effect size (Cohen’s d ≈ 0.97–1.5). Olive oil can be considered as a treatment option for pressure ulcers in the elderly due to its accessibility and affordability.

Abstract

This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between family social support and post-traumatic growth in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the city of Semarang. The hypothesis proposed is that higher levels of family support are positively associated with greater post-traumatic growth. The participants were PLWHA aged 20-50 years who live in Semarang City (N=94). Participants completed the Post-Traumatic Growth Scale and Family Social Support Scale via Google Form using a correlational quantitative research method with purposive sampling. The data analysis using Spearman's rho correlation revealed a significant positive relationship (rho = 0.470; p=0.000 (p<0.01) between the two variables. These findings support the hyphotesis and highlight the importance of family support in enhancing psychological resilience and positive transformation among PLWHA.

Abstract

According to The Indonesia Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) in 2023, Denpasar City has the highest stunting rate among the 9 districts in Bali Province, which is almost double from the previous year (10.8%). Maternal self efficacy in preventing stunting is an important factor that need to be considered. The aim of this research was to analyze maternal self efficacy in preventing stunting in Denpasar City. The research was done in quantitative and qualitative, with a cross-sectional design. The research population consisted of mothers with toddlers aged 6-24 months in the North Denpasar Primary Health Care I, II, and III work areas. The total sample was 203 mothers of toddlers. Quantitative data were collected using questionnaires, while qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews. The qualitative data analysis process was carried out using the manual coding method by entering the answers of each respondent, using Spearman rank and content analysis. Characteristics of mothers of toddlers: average age 31 years, number of children 2, tertiary education (49.7%), occupation as a housewife (48.8%), income above minimum wage (54.7%), permanent residence status for more than 6 months (86.7%), high self-efficacy (89.9%). The strength of the relationship is moderate with a correlation coefficient of 0.258. The results of the correlation test showed that there is a relationship between self-efficacy towards stunting prevention (p-value 0.08). Mothers who have good self-efficacy will later carry out sufficient stunting prevention. The mother's confidence in ensuring her child's growth and development according to the stages will be able to prevent stunting.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains one of the major public health challenges, particularly in tropical countries such as Indonesia. Conventional vector control strategies, such as fogging and mosquito breeding site eradication, have encountered significant obstacles, including insecticide resistance and limited long-term effectiveness. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of various natural attractants as an alternative approach to attracting Aedes mosquitoes through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 24 published articles from 2020 to 2025. The attractants analyzed include fermented rice straw water, coconut husks, fermented sugar solutions, as well as grass-based and plant semiochemical attractants. The review results indicate that fermented rice straw water is the most effective attractant for Aedes mosquitoes, especially for gravid females, due to its organic compounds produced during fermentation, such as ammonia and volatile acids. Sugar solutions, particularly in the form of Attractive Toxic Sugar Baits (ATSB), also show high effectiveness in both attracting and killing mosquitoes. In contrast, coconut husk attractants tend to be less effective and their performance varies depending on environmental conditions. Grass-based attractants such as Megathyrsus maximus also show potential but still require broader field validation. Based on a literature review of 24 studies, it can be concluded that straw-soaked water is the most effective attractant. This is effective with 3-7 days of fermentation at warm temperatures and in dark containers. Environmental health implications include its suitability as a low-cost lure and kill. Integrating natural attractants with attract-and-kill approaches such as ATSB can enhance the effectiveness of dengue control programs in a sustainable manner, especially in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

Kefir is a probiotic-rich functional beverage, and the addition of fruit enhances its nutritional composition, sensory characteristics, and consumer acceptability. This study analyzed twelve types of mixed fruit kefir and milk-based fruit kefir, focusing on nutritional value, sugar content, acidity, fiber levels, total bacterial count, and acceptability. The results showed that energy content ranged from 29.4 to 78.2 kcal per 100 grams, with mango kefir (50%) having the highest energy value. Protein content varied from 1.5% to 2.5%, with banana kefir (30%) containing the highest amount. Sugar content ranged from 1.6% to 12.6%, while acidity levels varied from 1.0% to 1.8%, influencing taste and microbial stability. Fiber content ranged from 1.2% to 3.4%, and total bacterial count varied between 26,666,667 and 2,247,000,000 CFU/g, confirming kefir’s probiotic potential.Sensory analysis revealed that mango kefir (50%) and pineapple kefir (50%) were the most preferred, while banana kefir (30%) had the lowest acceptability. These findings suggest that fruit-based kefir formulations can optimize both nutritional value and sensory appeal, positioning kefir as a highly nutritious and functional beverage.

Abstract

Delivering high-quality healthcare services relies on the performance of hospital staff. Various determinants, both internal and external, significantly impact this performance. While optimal performance typically fosters employee satisfaction, suboptimal performance can result in dissatisfaction, subsequently diminishing the overall organizational effectiveness of the hospital. The objective of this scoping review is to identify the factors influencing hospital employee performance and their satisfaction. This study adopted the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. Literature searches was performed across three major databases: Scopus, PubMed, and ProQuest databases. 1,332 literature items identified from the selected databases. The quality of the literature was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools. Fifteen literatures included in this review was of medium quality (score 7-8) and high quality (score 9-10) This review identified factors affecting hospital employee performance. Internal factors affecting employee performance include emotional intelligence, work stress, digital stress, work-family conflict, benefits, housing, rewards, satisfaction, and spirituality. External factors affecting employee performance include environment, hospital type, organization, performance management system, work conflict, flexi-time, open communication, toxic leaders, planning, and team focus. It was concluded that a holistic understanding of these variables is essential for hospital management to enhance service quality and organizational performance.

Abstract

Diabetic ulcer is the most common complication in patients with diabetes mellitus, and Staphylococcus aureus is the predominant bacterial cause of infection. The aim of this study was to detect the presence of the blaZ gene as a penicillin-resistance marker in S. aureus isolated from diabetic ulcer swabs. This research was a descriptive quantitative study. The study population consisted of patients with diabetic ulcers treated at the Diabetes Wound Care Center Branch in Surabaya. Respondents (samples) were selected using purposive sampling, with inclusion criteria being patients diagnosed with diabetic ulcers and eligible for swab collection. A total of 30 ulcer swab samples were obtained between April and May 2025. Isolation and identification were conducted at the Bacteriology Laboratory of Poltekkes Surabaya, resulting in 16 isolates (54%) identified as S. aureus. Among these, 10 isolates (62.5%) were resistant to penicillin G. Detection of the blaZ gene using Real-Time PCR at the Molecular Biology Laboratory of Poltekkes Surabaya showed that 8 isolates (80%) were positive for the gene. These findings indicate that most penicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates carry the blaZ gene, suggesting high potential for β-lactamase production. Future studies are recommended to include larger sample sizes, analyze additional resistance genes, and investigate clinical factors influencing the emergence of antibiotic resistance in diabetic ulcers.
