Shortness of breath is one of the main problems experienced by patients with respiratory disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis, and lung cancer. This condition can reduce oxygen saturation, which leads to limitations in physical activity, decreased quality of life, and an increased risk of hypoxemia that may become fatal if not immediately addressed. The management of dyspnea is not only carried out through pharmacological therapy but also through non-pharmacological interventions that are simple, safe, and easy to apply by health care providers. One such intervention is the tripod position and pursed-lip breathing technique. The tripod position is a sitting posture in which the patient leans forward with both hands supporting the body on the knees or a table, thereby facilitating maximum chest expansion. Meanwhile, pursed-lip breathing is a breathing technique performed by inhaling through the nose and exhaling slowly through pursed lips, which prolongs the expiratory phase, reduces trapped air, and improves alveolar ventilation. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of applying these two techniques in increasing oxygen saturation among patients with dyspnea in the Emergency Department of RSUD Limpung. The research design was a case study involving four patients diagnosed with COPD, asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis, and lung cancer. The intervention was carried out by assisting patients to sit in a tripod position and training them in pursed-lip breathing for approximately 10 minutes. Oxygen saturation was measured using a pulse oximeter before and after the intervention. The results showed an increase in oxygen saturation in all patients, from 92–97% to 95–99% after the intervention. In conclusion, tripod position and pursed-lip breathing proved to be effective non-pharmacological therapies that can be recommended in emergency nursing practice to reduce dyspnea and improve oxygenation.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease and a global health problem with an increasing prevalence that often leads to serious complications if not well controlled. Optimal self-care behavior, including diet regulation, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring, and adherence to medication, plays a crucial role in maintaining stable blood glucose levels and improving quality of life. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between self-care behavior and blood glucose levels among individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus who are receiving treatment at Kedungwuni 1 Public Health Center. Methods: This research employed an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 109 respondents diagnosed with DM were selected through total sampling. Data on self-care behavior were collected using the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire, while blood glucose levels were measured using a glucometer. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The findings showed that most respondents demonstrated poor self-care behavior (72.5%) and almost half were within the diabetes range of blood glucose levels (49.5%). Bivariate analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between self-care behavior and blood glucose levels (p = 0.000; r = 0.547). Conclusion: Better self-care behavior is associated with better blood glucose control. These results emphasize the importance of strengthening health education and self-management programs to improve self-care practices in diabetic patients.

Cake is a wheat flour-based food product that is popular because of its sweet taste, soft texture, and attractive appearance. This study aims to evaluate the effect of purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) paste substitution on the sensory, chemical, and physical quality of chocolate cake decorated with character pudding. The study was conducted in May–August 2025 at the Makassar Health Laboratory Center and the Chemistry Laboratory of the Pangkep State Agricultural Polytechnic. The study design used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments of purple sweet potato paste concentration (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%) and two replications. The parameters analyzed included sensory tests (color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall), chemical tests (antioxidant activity, water content, protein, fat, ash, and carbohydrate), and physical tests (expandability and crumb morphology). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan's further test for parameters with significant differences. The results showed that the addition of purple sweet potato paste had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on sensory and chemical characteristics. Treatment A4 (40% purple sweet potato paste) obtained the highest score in the hedonic test with an average panelist preference level of 4 (like). The best chemical characteristics were also obtained in A4, namely antioxidant content of 25.6%, water content of 32.97%, protein 3.52%, fat 17.19%, ash 1.34%, and carbohydrate 45.05%. Physically, the rise power was not significantly different between treatments, but the crumb morphology showed pore irregularities at high concentrations.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that impacts the physical growth and cognitive development of children, one of the causes is inappropriate parenting patterns such as exclusive breastfeeding, diet, and lack of nutritional fulfillment so that children are at risk of malnutrition. In Jember Regency itself, the high rate of stunting is a serious challenge for the government and the community that needs to be addressed. The selection of Gunungmalang Village as the location of community service is based on the high rate of stunting and early marriage as one of the causes of stunting. This community service activity began with training for Family Support Team (TPK) and Posyandu cadres, outreach to pregnant women, parents of infants/toddlers regarding the prevention and treatment of stunting, and a cooking demonstration of vegetable nuggets as an output of the activity by utilizing food ingredients that are easily available in the Gunungmalang community as an initial step to fulfill the nutrition of toddlers. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach as a method from a case study of scientific paper research that describes factually and in detail related to the activities of the CINTA (Prevent Stunting and Increase Nutrition) work program. The objective of this scientific study is to implement a community service program through collaborative Community Service Programs (KKN) to prevent and address stunting in Gunungmalang Village. Data collection techniques used triangulation (observation, interviews, and documentation). This study demonstrates that the implementation of the community service program has a positive impact on increasing community awareness and changing behavior regarding stunting

Attendance is an essential activity in both educational institutions and companies, serving as an indicator of discipline, presence, and individual responsibility. Conventional attendance systems that still rely on manual journals often face several problems, such as vulnerability to manipulation, data loss, and physical damage. Meanwhile, modern methods such as fingerprint, QR code, RFID, and GPS are not entirely ideal since each has its own limitations in terms of cost, accuracy, user convenience, and potential misuse. For instance, fingerprint systems raise hygiene concerns due to shared use, while QR code and GPS methods are prone to fraud and location spoofing. To address these challenges, this study proposes a face-based attendance simulation system by integrating the YOLOv8 algorithm for face detection and Local Binary Pattern Histogram (LBPH) for face recognition. YOLOv8 was chosen for its ability to detect faces in real time with high speed and accuracy, while LBPH is employed for face recognition due to its robustness in handling variations in facial features and its relatively low computational requirements. This makes the system efficient even when implemented on medium-specification devices. The system was tested on 25 participants with a total of 250 attendance attempts. Based on the confusion matrix analysis, the system achieved outstanding performance with 98.4% accuracy, 98.4% precision, 100% recall, and a 99.2% F1-score. Furthermore, the system automatically recorded attendance dates and times with an average latency of 69.185 ms, proving its capability to operate quickly and reliably in real-world scenarios. Nevertheless, several limitations were observed, such as decreased accuracy when the face moved too quickly during image capture, as well as potential performance degradation under extreme lighting conditions. Despite these challenges, the proposed system demonstrates excellent performance and offers a promising solution for efficient, hygienic, and fraud-resistant attendance management applicable to both educational and professional environments.

Skin that is prone to bacterial infections requires proper care using products containing antibacterial agents. One potential alternative is kaffir lime leaves (Citrus hystrix), which are known to contain antibacterial compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the formulation of liquid soap containing kaffir lime leaf extract and to determine the optimal concentration for inhibiting bacterial growth. An experimental laboratory design was applied, and the antibacterial effectiveness was tested using the disk diffusion method against two test bacteria, namely Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Statistical analysis was performed using One-Way ANOVA, followed by Scheffe’s post-hoc test to identify significant differences among treatment groups. The results indicated that the liquid soap containing kaffir lime leaf extract exhibited good physical quality and met standard parameters, including organoleptic evaluation, pH, viscosity, and foam height tests. Antibacterial testing showed that the highest inhibition zone against Staphylococcus aureus was observed at a 15% concentration with a zone diameter of 18.28 mm (strong category), while the highest inhibition zone against Escherichia coli was also at a 15% concentration with a diameter of 19.03 mm (strong category). The One-Way ANOVA results showed a significance value (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference among treatments for both bacterial species. These findings suggest that liquid soap formulated with kaffir lime leaf extract, particularly at a 15% concentration, has strong antibacterial activity and potential as an effective skin care product. Further studies are recommended to evaluate safety, stability, and long-term effectiveness.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion or function. The prevalence of diabetes continues to increase in Indonesia, particularly among adults and the elderly, requiring comprehensive and sustainable management. Diabetes management is not limited to pharmacological therapy but also includes non-pharmacological approaches such as dietary management, physical activity, and health education. One form of physical activity recommended for diabetes sufferers is diabetes exercise. This study aims to determine the effect of diabetes exercise on reducing blood glucose levels in diabetes mellitus patients enrolled in the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) at the Gunungpati Community Health Center (Puskesmas). The study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. A total of 30 respondents were randomly selected from the Prolanis patient population, and blood glucose levels were measured before and after the diabetes exercise intervention. The intervention was carried out routinely and structured over a certain period. The analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test showed a statistically significant decrease in blood glucose levels after diabetes exercise, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The average blood glucose level decreased from 260.27 mg/dL to 211.33 mg/dL. This study concluded that diabetes exercise is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention in helping control blood glucose levels. Therefore, routine implementation of diabetes exercise in primary healthcare facilities needs to be promoted as a simple, effective, and affordable promotive and preventive strategy.  

The development of information technology that is booming in Indonesia makes a lot of people interested in using gadgets, especially among school-age children. The existence of positive and negative impacts caused by the use of gadgets becomes a warning to always be vigilant in using gadgets. The study was motivated by a desire to find out whether gadget exposure in elementary school students has a relationship with diet, whether gadget exposure in elementary school students has a relationship with memory, and whether gadget exposure in elementary school students has a relationship with their physical activity. By using a quantitative correlation approach that seeks to ascertain the degree of relationship between variables. Random sample selection with the number of samples used as many as 62 fifth graders from SDN Kludan were selected to participate in this study. The data were collected using smartphone addiction index-short version (SAS-SV), semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), Digit span test, and Physical activity questionnaire for older children (PAQ-C).  The results of the study explain that there is a significant relationship between exposure to gadgets with diet evidenced by the significant value of 0.000<0.05, and there is no significant relationship between exposure to gadgets with memory and physical activity with significant values of 0.124>0.05 and 0.157>0.05.

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a skin infection caused by the Molluscipox virus and is common in children and adults with active sexual activity. The disease is characterized by the appearance of small, smooth, papule-shaped lesions that have a hollow in the center (umbiliation). MC transmission takes place through direct contact with contaminated lesions or objects, such as towels and clothing, so the spread is quite wide globally. The diagnosis is established through an anamnesis, clinical examination, and physical evaluation. MC therapy is generally supportive, but in certain cases medical measures such as excision and curettage are required to remove the lesion effectively. The use of topical creams containing Fusidic acid, such as Fucilex cream, is often recommended to prevent secondary infections and speed up the postoperative healing process. Proper and prompt treatment is essential to prevent further complications and speed up the patient's recovery. MC has a psychosocial impact, especially on children, so education to parents and health workers is an important part of the treatment strategy. Prevention can be done through increased personal hygiene and avoidance of contact with contaminated objects. The study emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach in diagnosis, therapy, and education to reduce the prevalence of MC and its impact on public health.

Diabetes mellitus continues to be an alarming health challenge, especially in the context of public health, where there are so many cases of diabetes mellitus that patients do not know how to manage and prevent it.

Elderly individuals are at risk of developing hypertension due to physiological changes, decreased body function due to aging, and past lifestyle factors such as salt consumption and physical activity. Furthermore, non-modifiable factors such as age, gender, and genetics contribute to the development of hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors influencing the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at Bhayangkara Hospital Tk. II, Jayapura. This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected using a questionnaire. A total of 83 respondents were selected using simple accidental sampling. The data were statistically analyzed using chi-square analysis and multiple logistic regression. Based on the analysis results, it was found that factors that were not related to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at Bhayangkara Hospital Tk. II Jayapura, namely age (p-value 1.000 > α (0.05), gender (p-value 0.356 > α (0.05) and history of hypertension (p-value 0.451 > α (0.05). Factors related to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at Bhayangkara Hospital TK. II Jayapura are salt consumption patterns (p-value 0.020 < α (0.05), physical activity (p-value 0.001 < α (0.05) and nutritional status (p-value 0.042 < α (0.05). The most dominant variable influencing the incidence of hypertension in the elderly is physical activity (p value = 0.001 < α 0.05; OR = 4.196; CI 95% 1.258-13.996) and salt consumption patterns (p value = 0.020 < α 0.05; OR = 6.111; 95% CI 2.015-18.535). Physical activity and salt consumption patterns have a significant influence on the incidence of hypertension in the elderly.

Well water is still one of the main sources of daily water supply for the residents of the Candi Muaro Jambi area. The dependence on well water makes it vital for consumption, cooking, and other domestic activities. However, with the increasing human activity, the development of tourist areas, and environmental changes in the surrounding area, the quality of the well water is at risk of being affected. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of well water from an environmental and health perspective based on physical, chemical, and biological parameters, referring to the clean water quality standards set by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. The research employs a descriptive quantitative method, with well water samples taken from several points around the residential areas in the Candi Muaro Jambi region. The analyzed parameters include temperature, color, odor, turbidity, pH, nitrate content, metal content (Fe and Mn), and the presence of coliform bacteria. Laboratory test results show that most of the well water samples still meet the established physical and chemical standards, but some wells were found to have coliform levels exceeding the recommended threshold. This condition indicates contamination, most likely from domestic waste, particularly from household sanitation systems that are not ideally located relative to the wells. While the well water in the study area is generally still suitable for daily use, it is recommended that the community performs simple water treatment, such as boiling or filtration, before direct consumption. These measures are crucial to reduce contamination risks and ensure the water's quality for safe consumption and health.

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a condition characterized by muscle or fascia pain, involving sensory, motor, or autonomic functions, linked to myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). Motor symptoms can include muscle weakness, limited movement, and stiffness. Sensory symptoms may involve tenderness, referred pain, hyperalgesia, or allodynia, while autonomic symptoms include sweating, changes in skin temperature, and salivation. MPS occurs due to increased sympathetic nervous system activity, which worsens pain. Physical therapy is vital in improving movement and function, with Active Exercise Therapy being a recommended treatment. MPS affects 36% of 431 patients, with pain intensity often developing within a week, and in Indonesia, it reaches 40% within a year. MPS is more common in females than males. Active Exercise Therapy, which can be performed at home or work, is essential for preventing MPS. On July 31, 2025, a community service activity was held at RT VIII Tanjung Mas Village, Semarang Utara, with 29 participants. The event included blood pressure checks, blood sugar tests, BMI measurements, and counseling on the importance of exercise therapy to prevent muscle fatigue, particularly in the neck area. The therapy, focusing on improving tendon and ligament strength and muscle strength, helps maintain joint stability and increase the range of motion. Strength training includes isotonic exercises and progressive resistance training, tailored to each individual's needs. The event provided education on managing muscle pain and fatigue through targeted exercise routines and home programs. These initiatives emphasize muscle recovery, physical health, and overall wellness, ensuring participants can manage and prevent MPS effectively. The event highlighted the critical role of regular physical activity in improving quality of life and preventing long-term musculoskeletal pain.

Adolescence is a crucial developmental phase marked by physical, emotional, and social changes, alongside new challenges brought about by the digital age. These changes often contribute to heightened stress and anxiety, particularly in academic settings. School, with its rigorous demands and social pressures, serves as a significant stressor. This community service project aimed to enhance the knowledge and practice of mindfulness among 10th-grade students at SMAN 3 Bone, specifically focusing on helping them cope with psychological and social pressures. Conducted on August 22, 2025, the project involved 33 female students navigating the transitional period of adolescence. The intervention consisted of an initial survey to assess baseline knowledge, followed by educational sessions on mindfulness theory and practical exercises, as well as group discussions and reflections. The results demonstrated a significant increase in students' mindfulness knowledge and skills, with the final average score reaching 80. Evaluation was based on observations throughout the activity and post-intervention assessments. The outcomes suggest that mindfulness education is an effective strategy for improving students’ ability to manage stress and anxiety. Despite the positive impact, challenges related to the implementation of mindfulness education within the school setting were identified, including the need for more structured integration into the curriculum and continuous support. Nevertheless, the findings highlight the potential of mindfulness practices as a valuable tool for supporting students' psychological well-being during adolescence, providing them with coping mechanisms for the pressures they face. Future recommendations include expanding the program to a broader student population and offering more regular mindfulness sessions to foster long-term benefits

Hypertension is a global health problem that plays a major role as a leading cause of premature death because it can lead to various serious cardiovascular complications, such as stroke, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. This condition is often characterized by complaints of severe headaches, especially in the nape of the neck, due to increased blood flow to the brain. In addition to medical therapy in the form of antihypertensive drugs, complementary therapies are also needed to support blood pressure reduction and improve the patient's quality of life. One method that has proven effective is slow deep breathing, a slow, deep breathing technique that helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce sympathetic activity, improve tissue oxygenation, and produce a relaxation effect that is beneficial in lowering blood pressure and reducing pain. This paper aims to describe the experience of nursing care for hypertensive patients using slow deep breathing therapy. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive with a case report design that is carried out through the stages of assessment, establishing a nursing diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. Research data were obtained through interviews, direct observation, and physical examination. The results showed that after three consecutive days of therapy, the patient's pain scale decreased from 5 (moderate pain category) to 2 (mild pain category), while blood pressure, which was initially at 196/122 mmHg, successfully decreased to 140/90 mmHg. These results indicate that slow deep breathing plays an important role in lowering blood pressure and improving the comfort of hypertensive patients. In conclusion, slow deep breathing can be used as a simple, safe, inexpensive, and effective non-pharmacological intervention, and is highly recommended for patients to practice independently in their daily lives to prevent worsening hypertension and optimize disease control efforts.
