Analysis of Factors Associated with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
type: item
description: Background: The high mortality and morbidity rates for AMI are caused by delays in treatment efforts, accuracy and speed of diagnosis, and treatment by doctors. There are risk factors that may increase the risk of experiencing an acute myocardial infarction such as age, gender, race, genetics, overweight or obesity, smoking, hyperlipidemia, history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, stress, and lack of physical activity. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze what factors were associated with the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at the Heart Polyclinic at Bhakti Dharma Husada Hospital, Surabaya. Methods: Analytical research design with cross-sectional approach. The population of this study were patients at the cardiac specialist polyclinic with a diagnosis of AMI with as many as 50 respondents. Sampling technique Non-probability sampling and the technique used is Consecutive sampling. Variables in the Independent Variable (Independent Variable) study were age, gender, hypertension, smoking, cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, physical activity. The dependent variable in this study was the incidence of acute myocardial infarction. Results: The results of the study used the Chi Squared tests (α = 0.05) to obtain a ρ-value Age = 0.004, Gender = 0.001, HT = 0.004, Cholesterol = 0.000, Smoking = 0.001, DM = 0.035, BMI = 0.018, Activities = 0.265. This means that there is a relationship between Age, Gender, Cholesterol, Smoking, DM, BMI with the incidence of AMI, and there is no relationship between Activity and the occurrence of AMI. Conclusion: Factors such as age, gender, hypertension, cholesterol, smoking habits, diabetes mellitus, and obesity have been shown to be significantly associated with the incidence of acute myocardial infarction, so that identification and control of these factors are important for the prevention and management of cases in the community. If left for a long time and education is not carried out as early as possible, it w…

Peak of Covid-19 Case Increase: Factors Related to Acceptance of the Covid-19 Booster Among Adolescents
type: item
description: Background: The acceleration of booster vaccination targets a minimum of 50 percent people aged 18 years and above while still prioritizing high-risk groups, such as the elderly. This is crucial to extend the protection of the Covid-19 vaccine and ensure that there is no surge in cases in the future. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the determinant factors of Covid-19 booster acceptance among adolescents aged 18-24 years. Methods: The present study adopted an analytic observation method with a cross-sectional approach. It took place in East Java and involved 1415 adolescents selected through a simple random sampling. The dependent variable was Covid-19 booster acceptance among these adolescents. The independent variables were age, education, gender, and family income. The data were obtained through a questionnaire. They processed using bivariate analysis to investigate the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. To determine the acceptance of adolescents towards Covid-19 booster, it used multivariate logistic regression. Results: Age (OR= 1.71, CI 95% = 1.25 to 2.3, p= 0.001), education (OR= 1.56, CI 95% = 1.18 to 2.08, p= 0.002), gender (OR= 1.51, CI 95% = 0.14 to 1.99, p= 0.004), and family income (OR= 1.36, CI 95% = 0.10 to 1.85, p= 0.052) hold a statistically significant relationship with Covid-19 booster acceptance among adolescents. Conclusion: Age, education, gender, and family income are factors affecting Covid-19 booster acceptance among adolescents. Government and other relevant stakeholders are expected to take comprehensive measures to increase Covid-19 booster vaccination among adolescents aged 18-24 years.

The Relationship between Exploring New Meanings of Caregiving and Family's Ability to Care Schizophrenia
type: item
description: Background: Families who care for patients with schizophrenia are still considered negative experiences. Families are less able to find new, positive meaning when caring for patients with schizophrenia. This condition increases the family's and patient's burden as well as the inability of families to care for patients with schizophrenia. Purpose: This research aims to identify relationships between exploring the new meaning of caregiving with the family's ability to take care of patients with schizophrenia. Methods: This research is a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 135 families who were caregivers of patients with schizophrenia was selected using purposive sampling techniques. The questionnaire exploring the new meaning of caregiving was developed from the concept of integrative empowerment and the family's ability to care for schizophrenia from the Barthel Index questionnaire and the Caregiving Tasks in Caring for an Adult with Mental Illness Scale (CTiCAMIS). Data analysis used Spearman rank correlation with alpha 5%. Results: This study's result is that the family's ability to explore new meanings of care is still in the sufficient category, both in the family aspect of having responsibility, the ability to assess positive aspects, acceptance of caring situations, and the family being part of the healer. Meanwhile, families' ability to care for patients with schizophrenia is still lacking to help with social interaction and productive skills. Conclusion: There is a relatively strong and unidirectional relationship between exploring new meanings of caregiving and the family's ability to care for schizophrenia (p-value=0.000; rho=0.311). Nurses must train family skills to explore new meanings through family empowerment programs.

Effectiveness of Self-Management Related to Physical Activity with Life Quality in Hypertension
type: item
description: Background: Hypertension is a major cause of disability and death worldwide. Efforts to reduce blood pressure and disease complications can be made by changing lifestyle, controlling the disease, and monitoring blood pressure regularly. Blood pressure management and improved quality of life can be achieved through effective self-management, particularly through physical activity. Purpose: The purpose of this literature review is to identify the effectiveness of self-management in physical activity in improving the quality of life of patients with hypertension. Methods: In this study, three international databases, i.e., Dimensions, Scopus, and ScienceDirect, were included. There were initial 605 articles from the last 5 years (2020 to 2024). The inclusion criteria used included English articles, original articles, and full text. Then, after screening using the Prisma guide, 18 articles met the criteria. Results: The literature review showed that quality of life, physical activity and self-management in patients with hypertension can be improved with digital interventions, support from various parties (family and society, multidisciplinary health workers), and self-management training. There is evidence that exercise such as walking, aerobic exercise, and light strength training can lower blood pressure and improve health status. Social and psychological support are also critical in supporting self-management. Conclusion: A comprehensive approach, which includes a combination of technology-based interventions, multidisciplinary support and self-management training in physical activity, is needed to improve the quality of life of patients with hypertension. Continuous intervention and support programs can encourage patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle and be motivated to control the disease.

The Relationship between Psychological Capital and Subjective Well-Being among Boarding School Adolescents
type: item
description: Background: Psychological capital (Psycap), encapsulates positive mental attributes such as hope, resilience, optimism, and one’s ability to positively reframe a situation, all of which shape an individual’s responses to and management of challenges. The adolescence period is crucial to the development of Psychological capital (Psycap), and the extent to which it is cultivated will determine levels of happiness in one’s future. Its role within the unique socio-educational environment, however, is still unresolved in the context of Islamic boarding schools. Purpose: The objective of this research was to analyze the correlation of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) with the Subjective Well-Being (SWB) of youth in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools. Methods: Information was obtained through a cross-sectional survey distributed to 208 adolescents. The Psychological Capital Questionnaire was administered to gauge the PsyCap. The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), in conjunction with the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), was employed to measure subjective well-being (SWB). For data analysis, descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were used. Results: This investigation determined that mean scores for all PsyCap components and SWB besides observed the clearly connected data that as PsyCap increased, SWB also appeared to elevate. Among components, hope demonstrated the strongest correlation (r = 0.444, p<0.001), followed by optimism (r = 0.407, p<0.001), efficacy (r = 0.364, p<0.001), and resilience (r = 0.363, p<0.001). Conclusion: All PsyCap components positively correlated with subjective well-being and with hope being the strongest predictor. This underscores the significance of hope-augmentation PsyCap interventions within the context of a boarding school to aid in the development and well-being of adolescents.

Imogene King's Theory-Based Telenursing to Improve Medication Compliance in Tuberculosis Patients
type: item
description: Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease with a high health burden that requires patient compliance in taking anti-tuberculosis (ATD) medications. Non-compliance remains a barrier to successful therapy. Telenursing, an information technology-based service innovation, can be utilized to improve patient satisfaction, especially when developed based on Imogene King's nursing theory. Objective: Can telenursing based on Imogene King's theory improve medication adherence in TB patients? Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design, with an intervention group receiving telenursing services based on Imogene King's theory and a control group receiving health promotion. Data on medication adherence were collected through observation and a medication adherence questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. Results: The study showed that in the intervention group, the majority of respondents (66.6%) or 10 patients had high medication adherence. Conversely, in the control group, the majority of respondents (66.6%) or 10 patients had only moderate medication adherence. This indicates that telenursing based on Imogene King's theory is more effective than conventional health promotion in improving ATD adherence. Conclusion: Telenursing based on Imogene King's theory can improve medication adherence in TB patients through reciprocal interaction, therapeutic communication, and the achievement of shared goals between nurses and patients using the SETIA-TB application. The implementation of telenursing based on abortion theory is recommended to support the success of TB therapy and can serve as an innovative service model in the community.

The Effect of Pursed Lip Breathing and Diaphragmatic Breathing on Increasing Oxygen Saturation in COPD Patients
type: item
description: Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory condition marked by continuous airflow limitation, often resulting in hypoxemia and hypercapnia. The WHO (1) projects that by 2030, COPD will rank as the third leading cause of death globally. In Indonesia, the prevalence of COPD reached 2.4% in 2018. One of the key clinical manifestations of COPD is a decline in oxygen saturation. Non-pharmacological breathing techniques such as Pursed Lip Breathing (PLB) and Diaphragmatic Breathing (DB) have been shown to improve ventilation and oxygenation. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of PLB and DB in improving oxygen saturation among COPD patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pre-post test design was used, involving 30 purposively selected COPD patients from a population of 35 treated. Each participant performed PLB and DB for 5-10 minutes per session, three times daily, for four weeks-initially during hospitalization and later at home under supervision. Inclusion criteria were COPD patients with oxygen saturation levels of 88–90% who had not previously received PLB or DB therapy. Exclusion criteria included those with prior experience of PLB/DB, anxiety, anti-anxiety treatment, as anxiety can alter breathing patterns and reduce therapy effectiveness. Data were collected using observation sheets and pulse oximeters and analyzed with Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Mean oxygen saturation increased from 89.40% (SD = 2.15) to 92.10% (SD = 1.98) with a significant p-value (0.000 < 0.05). Conclusion: PLB and DB effectively enhance oxygen saturation in COPD patients and have important implications for evidence-based nursing practice and education.

The Role of Nurses in Ensuring Legal Protection of Patients in Nursing Clinics: Nursing Practice and Management Perspectives
type: item
description: Background: Nurses play a very crucial role in protecting patient rights. Nurses don't just provide clinical services. They are also required to understand patient rights and the legal and ethical aspects that accompany them. Due to new regulations and a complex health system, nurses need to be equipped with legal knowledge. This is important so that they can carry out their duties professionally and protect patients effectively. Purpose: This research aims to examine the role of nurses in protecting patient rights, identify challenges faced in practice, and provide recommendations for strengthening patient legal protection through management support and legal training. Methods: A descriptive qualitative approach within the constructivist paradigm was used to explore nurses’ perceptions of their role in ensuring patients’ legal protection. Ten participants were purposively selected from three clinics in East Java. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis to identify emerging themes. Results: This research identified three main themes: nurses’ legal protection measures, understanding of law and ethical responsibilities, and challenges in implementing these roles. These themes, derived through systematic coding and categorization, illustrate how nurses apply legal and ethical principles in daily clinical practice within the Indonesian healthcare context. Conclusion: Nurses play an important role in advocating for patient rights, but still face obstacles such as workload and lack of management support. Legal training and supporting policies are needed to strengthen the legal protection of patients in nursing clinics.

The Effect of Video-Based Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) Telenursing on Level of Knowledge in Diabetes Mellitus Patients
type: item
description: Background: Diabetes mellitus remains a major health problem, characterized by high prevalence and complications due to low patient knowledge about self-management. Effective education is needed to enable patients to manage their diabetes independently. The use of innovative educational media, such as telenursing-based videos, is considered to increase the effectiveness of knowledge and skills transfer, thus supporting improved knowledge levels among diabetes patients. Video-based Telenursing Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) can facilitate increased knowledge so that the self-care behavior of DM sufferers can increase. Purpose: The aim of the research was to analyze the effect of video-based telenursing diabetes self-management education (DSME) on the level of knowledge of Diabetes Mellitus patients. Methods: This research design was quasi-experimental with a pretest posttest approach with control group design. The population is all DM patients. The sampling method was accidental sampling of 60 respondents who were divided into 30 intervention groups and 30 control groups. The video-based DSME telenursing intervention was applied 2 times a week for 2 weeks to the intervention group, while the control group only carried out their usual routine. The instrument used was the DKQ-24 (Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire) questionnaire. Data analysis used Wilcoxon Signed Rank with a significance value of α = 0.05. Results: The results of the research on the knowledge variable showed that the p value was 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that there was an influence of video-based DSME telenursing on the level of knowledge of DM patients in the intervention group. Conclusion: The application of video-based telenursing diabetes self-management education (DSME) affects the level of knowledge of Diabetes Mellitus patients. Nurses are expected to be able to implement video-based DSME telenursing so that patient self-care increases and can prevent complications.

type: item
description: Background: Nursing students experience high stress levels because of the high demands, expectations and activities during their study. Therefore some students struggle to adapt to their college life, eventually resorting to dangerous behaviors such as self-harm, which they perceive as a coping mechanism to relieve stress. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between stress levels and self-harm incidents among active students at Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya. Methods: This research design uses descriptive correlational with cross-sectional approach. This study involved 293 students from Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya, with purposive sampling technique. The dependent variable in this study is self-harm behavior, while the independent variable is the level of stress. The instrument tools used are the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire and DSHI (Deliberate Self Harm Inventory). Results: A total of 293 students were sampled in this study. The majority of stress levels were experienced by women, with 135 respondents experiencing moderate stress levels and 118 students having engaged in mild self-harm behavior. The results of the Spearman’s rank statistical test showed a significant correlation between stress levels and self-harm behavior (p-value = 0.004), indicating that higher levels of perceived stress are associated with a greater tendency toward self-harm Conclusion: This study concluded that the majority of students were under stress, with most perceiving themselves to be experiencing moderate stress. There is an urgent need to identify the underlying causes and implement effective management and preventive measures to mitigate the long-term negative effects of stress on students’ careers and well-being.

Factors Associated with Autism Early Detection to Minimize the Need for Long-Term Care in Children: A Cross-Sectional Study
type: item
description: Background: Autism is characterized by a total withdrawal from the outside world and a complete lack of interaction with the outside world. It is a complex developmental disorder affecting behavior, resulting in deficits in communication skills, social relationships, and emotional relationships with others. Symptoms are evident before the child is three years old. Autism has been increasingly reported in recent years. However, in Indonesia, some children are still diagnosed with autism late.Purpose: This study aimed to determine factors influencing the early detection of autism.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional correlation study. The study population was parents of children with autism registered at the Bali Province Special Needs School (SLB), with a sample size of 81. Data analysis used univariate analysis (percentages and frequencies) and bivariate analysis (Chi-square test). Results: The study showed that the majority of respondents had primary/secondary education (66.7%), the majority were unemployed (55.6%), the majority had conducted regular and proper child development monitoring (82.7%), and the majority of children had received early detection for autism (53.1%).

Effect of A Booklet Media on Increasing the Knowledge of Complementary Feeding among Mothers in South Tangerang, Indonesia
type: item
description: Background: Nutritional issues among toddlers remain a serious problem in Indonesia. The age of 6–24 months is a critical period in the growth and development of toddlers. Furthermore, children aged 12–23 months were more likely to meet complementary foods (e.g., minimum dietary diversity and minimum acceptable diet) than those younger, indicating that the older the child is, the greater the possibility of them meeting minimum complementary foods. Therefore, understanding complementary foods among mothers is essential for meeting the nutritional needs of children aged 6–11 months. Purpose: To compare mothers' knowledge about complementary foods for children aged 6–11 months in the intervention and control groups in South Tangerang. Methods: This research utilized a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design, carried out between August to September 2022. Participants (n=40) were selected through simple random sampling and then divided into intervention group (n=20) or the control group (n=20). To assess differences in knowledge changes between the two groups, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was applied in the analysis. Results: The mean scores in the intervention group before and after receiving the booklet were 50.5 and 75.5, respectively. This implies a significant difference between complementary food knowledge mothers in the pre-test and post-test (p-value £0.05). On the other hand, the control group's mean value did not change significantly (pre-test 51.5 and post-test 50.5; p-value >0.05). Conclusion: The present study suggests that the booklet intervention had an impact on increasing mothers' understanding of complementary foods. Thus, health education through booklets is useful in changing knowledge and might be used in posyandu.

Comparative Effects of Safe Steps and Life Cycle Games on Adolescent Reproductive Literacy and Mental Health
type: item
description: Background: Adolescents often experience low reproductive literacy and poor mental health, which can lead to risky behaviors, early sexual debut, unintended pregnancy, and psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Innovative approaches are needed to provide engaging and effective health education. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of two educational games, SafeSteps (mobile) and LifeCycle (board game), on adolescents’ reproductive health literacy and mental health. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was applied with 266 participants divided into the two intervention groups (n=133 per group). Data on reproductive literacy and mental health (SDQ) were collected using validated questionnaires before and after the intervention. Paired t-tests and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) were conducted to measure within- and between-group differences. Results: Both SafeSteps and LifeCycle significantly improved adolescents’ reproductive literacy, attitudes toward sexual violence, and mental health (p < .001). The SafeSteps group showed a significantly greater increase in reproductive literacy (mean D=17.3) compared to the LifeCycle group (mean D=13.4; F=13.84, p < .001). SafeSteps also yielded stronger gains in attitudes toward sexual violence (p < .001). Crucially, improvements in mental health were comparable between the two groups (F=1.46, p=0.228). Conclusion: SafeSteps (mobile) yielded stronger gains in cognitive and attitudinal outcomes, while both game modalities equally improved mental health. These findings recommend that policymakers and educators should integrate a hybrid approach combining scalable digital games with collaborative board-based sessions into school-based programs to ensure comprehensive and effective adolescent health promotion.

Training Preschool Teachers in Early Detection of Emotional-Behavioral Problems and ADHD using Audiovisual and Booklet Media
type: item
description: Background: Early identification of emotional and behavioral problems, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is essential for optimizing preschool children’s development. In Indonesia, many preschool teachers lack sufficient competence due to limited structured training. Evidence comparing audiovisual and booklet-based instructional media is scarce. This study addresses this gap, providing insights to enhance teacher preparedness in early detection. Purpose: This study compared the effectiveness of audiovisual and booklet-based training programs in improving preschool teachers’ knowledge and skills in the early detection of emotional behavior problems and ADHD. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent group design was conducted among 58 preschool teachers selected through purposive sampling. Preschools were assigned to two formats that delivered identical training content through either audiovisual or booklet-based media. Participants’ knowledge was assessed using a questionnaire, and practical skills were evaluated with a checklist, both of which were validated and reliable. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests and Mann–Whitney U tests. Results: Audiovisual training produced significantly greater improvements in participants’ knowledge (p < 0.001) and skills in early detection of emotional behavior problems (p < 0.001) and ADHD (p = 0.009) compared with booklet training. The audiovisual group achieved higher post-test scores and demonstrated better knowledge retention. Conclusion: Audiovisual-based training was more effective than booklet-based training in enhancing preschool teachers’ knowledge and skills for identifying early emotional and behavioral problems in children. These findings highlight the importance of integrating audiovisual learning into teacher development programs to strengthen early childhood mental health surveillance.

Moringa Leaf Extract as a Natural Intervention to Increase Hemoglobin Levels in Postpartum Anemia
type: item
description: Background: Postpartum anemia is a significant health problem that contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality. It is estimated that 50–80% of women experience anemia within 48 hours after childbirth. In Indonesia, postpartum anemia is among the leading causes of maternal mortality. Effective and affordable interventions are urgently needed to improve maternal outcomes. Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves are rich in iron and essential nutrients that may support hemoglobin synthesis. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Moringa leaf extract on hemoglobin levels in postpartum women with anemia. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted among postpartum women diagnosed with anemia. Participants were divided into an intervention group receiving Moringa leaf extract and a control group receiving standard care. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired and independent statistical tests with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The intervention significantly improved hemoglobin levels, with the mean rising from 8.65 g/dL pre-test to 10.93 g/dL post-test (p < 0.05). The average increase of 2.27 g/dL was accompanied by a more uniform distribution, indicating effective enhancement of maternal hemoglobin status after intervention. Conclusion: Moringa leaf extract is effective in increasing hemoglobin levels among anemic postpartum women. This low-cost, natural intervention can be considered as a complementary strategy in the management of postpartum anemia, particularly in low- and middle-income settings. Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are recommended to confirm these findings.
