Abstract

Background: Asthenopia is common among computer users, yet limited evidence exists regarding interventions targeting office workers. Mobile health technologies offer new opportunities to promote ocular health in technology-intensive work environments. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the MataSehatKu mobile eye-exercise application in reducing asthenopia among office workers in the information technology sector. Method: A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test control group design was conducted with 39 office workers (17 intervention, 22 control) selected by purposive sampling. Asthenopia levels were measured using the Digital Eye Strain Questionnaire (DES-Q) before and after a two-week intervention. Result: The intervention group showed a significant reduction in mean asthenopia scores (8.82 ± 5.13 to 2.71 ± 1.96; mean decrease = 6.11; p < 0.001), while the control group showed a significant increase (12.45 ± 9.10 to 19.82 ± 12.91; mean increase = 7.36; p < 0.001). Between-group post-test comparison revealed significantly lower scores in the intervention group (p < 0.001). Effect size analysis indicated a large impact (Cohen’s d = 1.57 within-group; d = 1.74 between-groups). Conclusion: The MataSehatKu application effectively reduced asthenopia among office workers, supporting the potential of mobile health–based eye-exercise programs as scalable occupational health strategies.

Abstract

Background: Childhood cancer is a chronic disease that requires intensive treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. While effective, these treatments often cause various side effects, with fatigue being one of the most common complaints. Fatigue not only impacts the physical health but also significantly impairs the activities, social interactions, and self-concept of children with cancer. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the factors that influence the self-concept of children with cancer undergoing treatment at Dr. Moewardi Surakarta Regional Hospital. Method: This study used a cross-sectional design. It was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta in March 2025, involving 90 children with cancer aged 8-18 years old, selected using consecutive sampling from a population of 907 children with cancer. The research instruments used a demographic data questionnaire, the PedsQL multidimensional fatigue scale (MFS), and the self-perception profile for children (SPPC). Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: The results of this study that fatigue is the most significant and consistent predictor of various dimensions of children's self-concept, even influencing nearly all subscales measured, including academic competence, athletic competence, physical appearance, and global self-esteem. Regression analysis corroborates this finding by showing that behavioral self-concept is significantly influenced by educational status and fatigue (p<0.001, R2 =0.165), while global self-esteem is influenced by type of care and fatigue (p<0.001, R2 =0.194). Although other factors such as educational status and gender are also associated with certain dimensions, fatigue is the only factor that universally and comprehensively influences nearly every aspect of children's self-concept. Conclusions: Fatigue, child's educational status, gender, and type of treatment influence the self-concept of children with cancer.

Abstract

Background: Menstrual hygiene is a crucial aspect of reproductive health, particularly for women of reproductive age (WRA) in correctional institutions where access to health education is often limited. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of booklet-based education in improving knowledge and attitudes of WRA regarding menstrual hygiene at the Women’s Correctional Facility in Pekanbaru City. Method: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 70 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed with the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Results: Respondents’ knowledge increased from 68.6% to 95.7%, and positive attitudes from 71.4% to 95.7% after the intervention (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Booklet-based education significantly improved menstrual hygiene knowledge and attitudes among incarcerated women, supporting its use as a sustainable and scalable reproductive health education strategy in correctional facilities.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence is a psychologically vulnerable period, and pregnancy during this stage increases the risk of stress, particularly when pregnancies are unintended or accompanied by social stigma. Although psychosocial support is essential, evidence on supportive counseling specifically for pregnant adolescents is limited, and most interventions rely on traditional face-to-face methods. To address this gap, this study developed a smartphone-based supportive counseling model to strengthen maternal mental health among Indonesian adolescents. Purpose: To examine the effect of smartphone-based supportive counseling on pregnancy-specific stress among pregnant adolescents. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre- and post-test non-equivalent control group design was used involving 60 pregnant adolescents. Participants were assigned to an intervention group (n = 30) or a control group (n = 30) using purposive sampling. The intervention group received smartphone-based supportive counseling sessions (60–120 minutes) over three weeks, while the control group received routine antenatal care. Pregnancy-specific stress was measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests. Results: The intervention group showed a significant reduction in pregnancy-specific stress after supportive counseling (p < 0.001), whereas the control group showed no significant change (p = 0.069). Conclusion: Smartphone-based supportive counseling is effective in reducing pregnancy-specific stress among pregnant adolescents and may serve as an accessible psychosocial support model in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

Background: Neonatal asphyxia remains a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide and continues to be the second leading cause of neonatal death in Indonesia. Although numerous studies have examined maternal and perinatal risk factors, contemporary evidence from Bali particularly from Wangaya General Hospital remains limited. Objective: To analyze maternal and perinatal factors associated with neonatal asphyxia among newborns delivered at Wangaya General Hospital, Denpasar. Methods: An analytical case–control study was conducted using hospital delivery records from January to November 2024. A total of 189 newborns were included, consisting of 95 asphyxia cases and 94 non-asphyxia controls selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Maternal variables (parity, hypertensive disorders, anemia, premature rupture of membranes) and perinatal variables (mode of delivery, gestational age, birth weight) were extracted from medical records. Associations were examined using odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals, followed by multivariable logistic regression to identify independent predictors of neonatal asphyxia. Results: Low birth weight (LBW) demonstrated the strongest association with neonatal asphyxia (adjusted OR = 112.66; 95% CI: 30.84–411.60; p < 0.001). Prematurity showed a significant crude association but became attenuated after adjustment, likely due to multicollinearity with LBW. Maternal factors including parity, hypertensive disorders, anemia, and premature rupture of membranes as well as mode of delivery did not show statistically significant associations in either bivariate or multivariable analysis. Conclusion: Neonatal asphyxia at Wangaya General Hospital is predominantly associated with perinatal biological vulnerabilities, particularly low birth weight and, to a lesser extent, prematurity. Maternal factors contributed minimally in this setting, suggesting that fetal maturity and neonatal physiological readiness play a more crucial role than maternal comorbidities. Strengthening antenatal strategies to prevent fetal growth restriction and enhancing preparedness for the stabilization of LBW and preterm infants are essential to reducing asphyxia-related morbidity.

Abstract

Background: Low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol remains an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Functional foods enriched with omega-3 fatty acids may offer a practical dietary approach to improving lipid profiles. Purpose: To evaluate the effects of omega-3 enriched eggs on HDL cholesterol levels in Wistar rats compared with regular eggs and a standard diet. Methods: Fifteen male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to three groups: control (standard diet), regular egg, and omega-3 enriched egg. Egg yolk preparations were administered orally via gastric gavage for 14 days. HDL cholesterol was measured before and after the intervention using an enzymatic colorimetric assay. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests for intragroup comparisons and one-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc testing for between-group differences. Results: The omega-3 enriched egg group showed a significant increase in HDL cholesterol (from 39.83 ± 6.08 to 66.32 ± 4.35 mg/dL; p = 0.001), while increases in the regular egg (p = 0.093) and control groups (p = 0.454) were not significant. ANOVA indicated significant differences among groups (F (2,12) = 6.308, p = 0.013), with post-hoc analysis confirming higher HDL levels in the omega-3 group compared with the control group (p = 0.011). Conclusion: Omega-3 enriched eggs elicited a substantial increase in HDL cholesterol compared with regular eggs and a standard diet, supporting their potential as a functional food for improving lipid profiles. Further studies with larger samples, extended intervention periods, and human participants are recommended to validate their clinical relevance.
