Craniotomy is a medical procedure to open the skull in order to repair and assess damage to the brain, which can cause fever due to thermoregulatory disturbances in the central nervous system. Monitoring the body temperature of post-craniotomy patients is crucial, as hyperthermia can increase the risk of complications. One non-pharmacological therapy to reduce fever is the use of ice gel compresses. This study aims to compare the effect of ice gel compress placement between the chest and armpit on body temperature changes in post-craniotomy patients in the ICU of RSI Sultan Agung Semarang. This research uses a pre-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest design, involving 22 respondents selected through total sampling technique. Data were collected using observation sheets, and statistical analysis was performed using the Paired Samples Test. The analysis results showed that the p-value for the chest was 0.867 (p > 0.05) and for the armpit was 0.199 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant difference in body temperature before and after the ice gel compress at both locations in relation to the body temperature changes of post-craniotomy patients. In conclusion, the application of ice gel compresses to the chest and armpit locations did not show a significant effect on reducing body temperature in post-craniotomy patients.

Hemodialysis is a medical procedure used to correct blood biochemical abnormalities caused by impaired kidney function, with the aid of a hemodialysis machine. One of the most commonly used accesses in this procedure is the Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF), which is an anastomosis between the artery and vein in the arm or other parts of the body to facilitate the cannulation process. However, during the AVF cannulation procedure, patients often experience pain, which can cause discomfort and anxiety. Cold compresses are one of the non-pharmacological techniques that can be used to alleviate this pain. This study aims to examine the effect of cold compresses on reducing pain during AVF cannulation in hemodialysis patients. This research uses a Quasi-Experimental design with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design model, involving 116 hemodialysis patients at RSI Sultan Agung Semarang. Patients were divided into two groups: the intervention group, which received cold compresses, and the control group, which did not receive treatment. Pain intensity was measured before and after cannulation using a visual analog scale (VAS). The results of the study show that the administration of cold compresses significantly reduced pain intensity, with a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05). In addition, there was a significant difference in effectiveness between the intervention group and the control group, with the same p-value. In conclusion, cold compresses proved to be an effective, simple, safe, and easy-to-apply non-pharmacological intervention to reduce pain in hemodialysis patients during the AVF cannulation procedure. Therefore, the use of cold compresses can be recommended as a method to improve the comfort of hemodialysis patients.

Kangaroo mother care is a treatment for low-birth-weight infants that involves direct skin-to-skin contact between the infant and the mother (skin-to-skin contact). This provides health and psychological benefits, particularly in providing warmth to the infant, enhancing maternal bonding, increasing maternal trust and satisfaction, and reducing stress. The difference in body temperature of low-birth-weight infants treated with kangaroo mother care for one hour and three hours. Research Method: The research design used was a quasi-experimental, pre-post test with control group design, which involves administering treatment or intervention to the experimental group and then measuring and analyzing the effects of the treatment. The sample size for this study was 30 people. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the independent t-test and paired t-test. The results showed that the infant's body temperature before the kangaroo mother care intervention was in the below-normal. The infant's body temperature after the intervention was in to normal range. The infant's body temperature after the kangaroo mother care intervention in the one-hour had a p value = 0,000 or <0,05). The infant's body temperature after the intervention was in to normal range. The infant's body temperature after the kangaroo mother care intervention in the three-hour had a p value = 0,000 or <0,05). The infant's body temperature after the kangaroo mother care intervention in the one-hour had a p value = 0,000 or <0,05).

The presence of colloquial expressions in public signage commonly referred to ba- hasa gaul has increasingly become a linguistic hallmark in various tourism and recreational ar- eas in Indonesia. This study investigates the use of informal language on public signage at Pantai Kelan, Bali, and analyzes such linguistic choices that reflect social dynamics, youth identity, and evolving modes of communication in public space. Grounded in sociolinguistic perspectives, the research highlights the role of signage as not only a medium of information, but also a space for constructing shared meaning and fostering engagement through culturally resonant expressions. This qualitative research employed observational and documentation methods. It focused on twelve public signs installed at Pantai Kelan. Data were collected through field observations, photographic documentation, and subsequent transcription and analysis of the linguistic forms. The analysis fo- cused on identifying dominant lexical patterns, stylistic choices, and communicative functions of the language used. The signs were then interpreted with reference to their potential cultural, social, and interactional implications within the broader framework of linguistic landscape studies. The findings indicate that the use of bahasa gaul in signage serves multiple purposes: capturing atten- tion, expressing local identity, evoking humor, and connecting with a predominantly young and digital-native audience. Rather than being perceived as informal or inappropriate, such language use contributes to the effectiveness of public communication in specific contexts. The study con- tributes to the growing body of literature on language in public space and emphasizes the impor- tance of cultural relevance and sociolinguistic awareness in designing public signage that is both meaningful and impactful

Heart failure or congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood optimally to meet the body's metabolic needs, resulting in symptoms such as shortness of breath, excessive fatigue, and edema (Majid, 2017). According to WHO data in 2023, CHF is one of the main causes of death with a total of 17.5 million deaths from a total of 58 million cases recorded worldwide. This paper aims to describe and provide an overview of nursing care for patient Mr. H who experiences cardiovascular system disorders in the form of CHF in the Dahlia room of Dr. Soeselo Regional Hospital, Tegal Regency in accordance with nursing practice standards. The method used is a descriptive method through a case study with data collection techniques using interviews and observations. From the results of the case review, the main complaint experienced by the patient was shortness of breath which was quite disruptive to daily activities. Based on this condition, four main nursing diagnoses were found, namely ineffective airway clearance, hypervolemia, activity intolerance, and knowledge deficits related to the disease and self-care. The interventions provided are based on theoretical references in the Indonesian Nursing Diagnosis Standards (IDHS) and the Indonesian Nursing Outcome Standards (SLHS), and are tailored to the patient's actual condition. The implemented action plan is expected to help reduce symptoms, improve the patient's ability to function, and provide a better understanding of CHF so that the patient can actively participate in the care process.

Fever in children, if not properly managed, can lead to several negative effects such as excessive fluid loss through evaporation, dehydration, seizures, decreased consciousness, and even death if left untreated. Non-pharmacological interventions to reduce fever include water tepid sponge therapy and cool patch therapy. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and posttest three-group approach. Respondents were divided into three groups: water tepid sponge, cool patch, and control. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. The Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of 0.000 in the Water Tepid Sponge group, 0.000 in the Cool Patch group, and 0.002 in the control group. The Mann-Whitney test showed no significant difference between the pre-test body temperature of the Water Tepid Sponge group and the control group (p = 0.063 > 0.05), while a significant difference was found in the post-test (p = 0.000 < 0.05). For the Cool Patch group, there was no significant difference in the pre-test compared to the control (p = 0.672), but a significant difference was found in the post-test (p = 0.001). The Mann-Whitney test comparing the pre-test and post-test temperature differences between the Water Tepid Sponge and Cool Patch groups showed a significance value of 0.000. The mean rank for temperature reduction in the Water Tepid Sponge group was 35,27, while in the Cool Patch group it was 17,73. Both Water Tepid Sponge and Cool Patch therapies have an effect on reducing fever in pediatric patients in the Parkit Ward of QIM Hospital Batang. Water Tepid Sponge therapy is more effective than Cool Patch therapy in reducing fever.

Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) often experience physiological disturbances caused by both medical conditions and intensive treatment procedures. One of the most common problems encountered is sleep disturbance. Several factors contribute to poor sleep quality in ICU patients, including repeated medical procedures, environmental noise from medical equipment and staff activities, discomfort due to body positioning, frequent interactions with health workers, continuous exposure to lighting, pain, and the underlying disease process. Persistent sleep disturbances can delay the healing process, increase blood pressure, and even elevate the risk of stroke. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between anxiety levels and sleep quality in compos mentis patients in the ICU of Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital Semarang. The research design employed a correlational approach with a cross-sectional method. A total of 30 respondents were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) to assess anxiety levels. The Chi-Square test was used for statistical analysis. The results showed an equal distribution of male and female respondents (15 each). Ten respondents had a post-laparotomy medical diagnosis, and the majority belonged to the late elderly age group (10 respondents). Most respondents experienced moderate anxiety (18 respondents), while poor sleep quality was reported by 17 respondents. The Chi-Square test revealed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a significant relationship between anxiety levels and sleep quality. In conclusion, higher anxiety levels were associated with poorer sleep quality among compos mentis patients in the ICU. These findings highlight the importance of nursing interventions that address both the physical and psychological aspects of patients to improve sleep quality and support recovery.

Malnutrition is a condition in which the body does not receive enough essential nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, calories, and minerals, which causes various health problems, especially wasting and stunting, making it a serious concern in children. According to the Basic Health Research, the prevalence of malnourished children in Indonesia remained stable at 17.8% between 2016 and 2017 but decreased to 13.8% in 2018. This case study focuses on a 23-month-old girl from Kuala Keureuto Village, who was observed for three weeks through home visits in 2025. The diagnosis of malnutrition was made in accordance with national guidelines outlined in the Indonesian Minister of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2020, regarding child anthropometric standards. Anthropometric measurements showed that the child's height was 78.3 cm and her weight was 8.8 kg. Based on these measurements, her nutritional status was assessed as follows: A height/age Z-score between -2 and -3 SD indicates stunting, a weight/age Z-score between -2 and -3 SD indicates underweight, while a weight/age Z-score below -2 SD and a BMI/age Z-score below -2 SD are considered well-nourished. After confirming the diagnosis, the patient received nutrition education, supplemental feeding, appetite-stimulating supplements, and growth monitoring. In addition, analyses were conducted to identify factors influencing her condition, concluding that the malnutrition observed in this 23-month-old patient was influenced by parenting behavior, parental knowledge, medical history, incomplete immunizations, and environmental factors.

Anomalous positioning is an abnormal position of the fetal vertex (with the small fontanelle as a marker) relative to the maternal pelvis. Oblique malposition is a cause of maternal mortality rate (MMR) of 3-10%. Obesity in pregnancy is a condition characterized by an imbalance between body weight and height. According to WHO data, the prevalence of obesity in 2021 was 340 million, with data in Central Java province reaching 6.62%. In Brebes Regency, the figure was 20.51% (2019). In the Bumiayu Community Health Center, data on obesity in pregnant women reached 63 in 2022. This study aims to provide comprehensive midwifery care for pregnant women, childbirth, postpartum, newborns, and family planning for Mrs. N, 23, with malposition and obesity. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with a comprehensive case study approach. Based on the comprehensive midwifery care provided to Mrs. N, 23, with malposition and obesity, the pregnancy outcome was found to be grade I. Her gestational age was not commensurate with her gestational age. Delivery was performed by vaginal delivery. No problems were found during newborn care up to 28 days. No problems were found during the postpartum period. Mrs. N chose intrauterine contraception (IUD) during pregnancy, but her husband did not allow it due to religious reasons. Appropriate midwifery care during pregnancy, childbirth, newborn care, postpartum care, and family planning is crucial for the health of both mother and baby. This allows early detection of risk factors, preventing potential complications, and reducing maternal and infant mortality.

The proliferation of fake news across digital platforms has raised critical concerns about information reliability. A notable example is the viral rumour falsely claiming that the Nigerian Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, had collapsed at an event and was rushed to an undisclosed hospital an entirely fabricated claim that caused public confusion. While both traditional machine learning and deep learning approaches have been explored for automated fake news detection, many existing models have been limited to topic-specific datasets and often suffer from overfitting, especially on smaller datasets like ISOT. This study addresses these challenges by proposing a standalone Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) model for fake news classification using the ISOT dataset. Unlike multi-modal frameworks such as the MM-FND model by state-of-the-art model, which achieved 96.3% accuracy, the proposed BiLSTM model achieved superior results with 98.98% accuracy, 98.22% precision, 99.65% recall, and a 98.93% F1-score. The model demonstrated balanced classification across both fake and real news and exhibited strong generalization capabilities. However, training and validation performance plots revealed signs of overfitting after epoch 2, suggesting the need for regularization in future work. This study contributes to the growing body of research on fake news detection by showcasing the efficacy of a focused, sequential deep learning model over more complex architectures, offering a practical, scalable, and robust solution to misinformation detection

Turnover intention is widely recognized as one of the earliest indicators of potential employee resignation, which in turn can generate considerable organizational challenges such as increased operational costs, the erosion of organizational knowledge, and declining productivity levels. While a significant body of international research has explored the antecedents of turnover intention, studies that specifically provide a narrative synthesis within the Indonesian workforce context remain scarce. Recognizing this gap, the present study seeks to identify the dominant factors that influence turnover intention in Indonesia by conducting a narrative literature review. The review focused on nine selected articles published between 2018 and 2023 in nationally indexed journals. To ensure rigor, the selection was based on predefined criteria: the articles had to employ empirical designs involving full-time employees, apply quantitative research methodologies, and explicitly examine the relationships between independent variables and turnover intention. The data extracted from the studies were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns and dominant themes. The analysis revealed four key factors that consistently shaped turnover intention across the reviewed literature. First, job stress was found to be a critical determinant, where prolonged work pressure and role overload significantly increased employees’ desire to leave. Second, job satisfaction emerged as a central variable, with dissatisfaction related to compensation, recognition, and career development strongly linked to turnover intention. Third, leadership style played an important role, as authoritarian or unsupportive leadership approaches heightened employees’ intention to resign. Finally, the leader’s role in fostering workplace relationships and support systems was identified as a factor influencing employee attachment and loyalty. In conclusion, this study contributes theoretically by mapping the dominant factors of turnover intention within the Indonesian context and highlights their interconnections.

This study aimed to identify the relationship between family support and body image disturbance among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital, Semarang. Breast cancer and its treatment, particularly chemotherapy, often cause physical changes such as hair loss, weight fluctuations, and mastectomy, which can significantly affect patients’ body image perception. Family support is assumed to play a crucial role in helping patients adapt to these changes. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 110 breast cancer patients were recruited using consecutive sampling. The research instruments consisted of a family support questionnaire comprising 20 items and a body image questionnaire with 10 items. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s Rank correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents (60%) received good family support, while 55% experienced negative body image. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between family support and body image disturbance (p = 0.004) with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.275, indicating a weak but significant correlation. These findings suggest that family support plays an important role in maintaining a positive body image among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Therefore, nursing interventions should actively involve family members to provide both emotional and practical support, which may help patients cope with the psychological impact of treatment and improve their overall well-being.

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder marked by hyperglycemia resulting from the body's failure to synthesize insulin. Nutritional therapy is effective in controlling glucose levels by providing low glycemic index and high in antioxidant foods, including sweet potatoes and red beans. The primary objective of this study was to elucidate the influence of wheat flour replacement with composite flour consisting of sweet potato and red bean flour on anthocyanin content and the sensory preferences of muffins. A single-factor completely randomized approach was used in this experimental investigation. The treatment involved substituting wheat flour with a composite flour consisting of sweet potato and red bean flours, in the following ratios: 30:20:50 (F1), 30:35:35 (F2), 30:50:20 (F3), and 100:0:0 (F0, control). Anthocyanin content was analyzed using the differential pH method, while sensory preferences were evaluated by 30 semi-trained panelists using a hedonic scale test. The results showed that substituting wheat flour with composite flour high in sweet potato content increased anthocyanin levels. However, the substitution of wheat flour generally reduced the overall sensory preference for muffins. Despite this, formulations with a higher proportion of sweet potato flour improved the preference scores. In conclusion, the substitution of wheat flour with composite flour rich in sweet potato increased anthocyanin content and improved sensory preferences for color, aroma, and taste in muffins

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition that requires optimal adherence to pharmacological treatment to prevent disease progression and complications. This study aims to analyze the level of adherence to anti-diabetic medication among T2DM patients and to explore the association between the experience of medication side effects and adherence levels. A descriptive-analytic cross-sectional design was employed, involving 97 T2DM patients in Bandung Regency and Bandung City, Indonesia. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test. The results revealed that 53.6% of respondents exhibited low medication adherence. The majority reported having diabetes-related complications (88.7%) and experiencing medication side effects (57.7%). A significant positive association was found between medication side effects and adherence level (p = 0.039), indicating that patients who experienced side effects tended to be more adherent. Demographic factors such as place of residence, gender, and age showed no significant association with adherence. The findings suggest that side effects may hinder adherence; however, awareness of the body’s response to medication, including side effects, may also serve as a motivator for adherence.
