Correctional institutions impose sustained psychological burdens on inmates, including social isolation, fractured family bonds, and disrupted identity development, which collectively heighten the risk of mental health deterioration. Unlike preventive psychoeducational approaches, group counseling operates as a curative, therapeutically structured service that enables participants to process shared difficulties through interpersonal dynamics. This community service study implemented group counseling within a Participatory Action Research (PAR) framework involving 50 early adult inmates at Lapas Kelas III Rangkasbitung. PAR was operationalized as an implementation framework in which each counseling cluster cycle followed the Plan-Act-Observe-Reflect sequence, enabling iterative refinement of therapeutic content. Pre-service needs assessment using the Alat Ungkap Masalah (AUM) Umum Masyarakat instrument identified dominant problems in family relations (13.33%), personal self (12.97%), and social relations (10.76%). Group counseling was conducted across three thematic clusters. Program evaluation revealed improvements in social interaction, self-acceptance, and emotional regulation among participants, with the PAR reflective cycle enabling context responsive adaptation of each session. These findings affirm that PAR-grounded group counseling constitutes a contextually adaptive model for psychosocial rehabilitation in correctional settings.

Background: Sectio Caesarea (SC) is a surgical procedure to deliver the fetus through an incision in the abdominal and uterine wall. Patients with a history of previous sectio caesarea frequently experience acute pain, risk of infection, and lack of knowledge regarding post-SC contraception, requiring comprehensive nursing care. Objective: To describe the application of nursing care in a patient with post-operative sectio caesarea with a history of sectio caesarea indication. Methods: This study used a descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation, and relevant literature review. Results: Assessment of Ny. S revealed three nursing diagnoses: acute pain, knowledge deficit, and risk of infection. Interventions included pain management, family planning (KB) health education, and infection prevention through wound care. Following nursing interventions, the knowledge deficit resolved completely, while acute pain and risk of infection were partially resolved. Conclusion: Systematic nursing care can effectively address nursing problems in post-SC patients and improve patient health outcomes.

Background: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a condition characterized by the inability of the heart to pump blood optimally, resulting in the accumulation of fluid in the lungs and other organs. This condition frequently causes ineffective airway clearance due to hypersecretion of the airway. Objective: This study aims to describe the comprehensive nursing care provided to Ny. R with Cardiovascular System Disorder: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) with the main nursing problem of ineffective airway clearance at the Melati Ward of RSUD Banyumas. Method: This study used a descriptive method through a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews, physical examination, observation, and documentation. Results: Two nursing diagnoses were identified: (1) ineffective airway clearance related to airway hypersecretion, and (2) activity intolerance related to an imbalance between oxygen supply and demand. Nursing interventions included airway management and energy management. After two days of implementation (January 27–28, 2026), the first diagnosis was resolved and the second was partially resolved, with continued interventions recommended including monitoring of physical and emotional fatigue, advising bed rest, and monitoring vital signs. Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing care with appropriate interventions can effectively address ineffective airway clearance in CHF patients.

Background: Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder characterized by positive psychotic symptoms (such as hallucinations) and negative symptoms accompanied by cognitive decline. Auditory hallucinations represent the most common positive symptom, occurring in more than 75% of patients with schizophrenia. Objective: This study aimed to describe the comprehensive nursing care for Mr. F with a primary problem of perceptual sensory disorder: auditory hallucinations due to undifferentiated schizophrenia at Gatot Kaca Ward, RSJD dr. Amino Gondohutomo, Central Java Province. Method: This study used a descriptive method with a nursing process approach, including assessment, nursing diagnosis, intervention planning, implementation, and evaluation. Data collection was carried out through interview, observation, and literature study. Results: Nursing problems identified were: perceptual sensory disorder (auditory hallucinations) as the core problem, social isolation (withdrawal) as the causa, risk of violent behavior as the effect, and self-care deficit as an accompanying problem. Nursing interventions were conducted using the implementation strategy (SP) 1, 2, and 3 for hallucinations and SP 1 for self-care deficit. Conclusion: After 4 days of nursing implementation, 2 out of 4 nursing diagnoses were resolved: perceptual sensory disorder (auditory hallucinations) and self-care deficit, while social isolation (withdrawal) and risk of violent behavior remained unresolved. Patients with hallucinations are expected to be able to control hallucinations using the methods that have been taught.

Background: Stroke is a neurological dysfunction caused by impaired blood circulation to the brain. Stroke can cause disability for survivors, one of which is impaired physical mobility due to weakness in the extremities and decreased muscle strength that can hinder the fulfillment of daily life activities. Range of Motion (ROM) and rubber ball grasping are one of the non-pharmacological ways in providing nursing care to ischemic stroke patients according to evidence-based practice (EBP). Purpose: This study aims to explain the process of providing nursing care with Range of Motion (ROM) interventions and rubber ball grasping for the problem of impaired physical mobility in stroke patients in Mina 1 room of RSUDZA. Method: case study with one patient as the subject with impaired physical mobility. Results: what was obtained during 6 days of intervention was an increase in the patient's muscle strength before and after the intervention, which was initially 1, increased to 4. Conclusion: Physical mobility impairment was resolved because the patient's muscle strength increased much better. Suggestion: It is hoped that Dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh can continue to improve nursing care for stroke patients so that the care provided is more effective and can apply Range of Motion (ROM) and rubber ball grasping as non-pharmacological methods.

A common health problem, especially in developing countries, is anemia. This is common among adolescent girls due to their lack of knowledge about anemia. This puts them at risk of developing anemia, particularly because menstruation is a contributing factor. Providing health education is expected to change behaviors toward a healthy lifestyle and contribute to preventing anemia among adolescent girls. This community service activity was held on May 26, 2026, at SMK Bhakti Indonesia Medika, and was attended by female students of childbearing age. The methods used included lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and sharing sessions. Pretests and posttests were used as evaluation materials to measure the increase in students' knowledge. The average pretest score was 7, while the average posttest score was 12, indicating a 5 point increase in knowledge about anemia among adolescent girls. The students demonstrated interest and enthusiasm during this activity. The results and conclusions of the e-booklet-based education program proved to be an effective alternative medium for increasing students' knowledge about anemia prevention. It is hoped that similar education can be implemented sustainably to improve the quality of healthy life in adolescent girls.

The rapid development of information technology drives various business sectors, including the beauty and health industry, to adopt digital systems in their operational management. A Beauty Clinic, a medium-scale aesthetic clinic, faces significant operational challenges in managing human resources, finance, and digital marketing in an integrated manner. This study aims to analyze the existing manual operational system of A Beauty Clinic using the PIECES framework (Performance, Information, Economy, Control, Efficiency, Service), design and configure an Odoo ERP Community Edition implementation integrating the HR, Invoicing/Point of Sale, and Social Marketing modules, and evaluate the operational efficiency improvements achieved. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method and Rapid Application Development (RAD) as the system development methodology. Data was collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews. The results show that the manual system experienced critical problems across all six PIECES dimensions. Post-implementation evaluation indicates an estimated 80% reduction in the secretary's administrative workload (from 20–25 hours to 3–5 hours per month), over 90% reduction in payroll error frequency, and an 87% reduction in transaction processing time per cashier transaction. The implementation of role-based access control and complete audit trails fundamentally addressed the security vulnerabilities identified in the as-is analysis. This study demonstrates that Odoo Community Edition is an effective, comprehensive, and cost-efficient ERP solution for small and medium-scale beauty clinics seeking to transform from fragmented manual systems to integrated, data-driven information systems.

Chemical exposure during the dyeing process in the Textile industry has the potential to cause health problems, particularly allergic reactions mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE). Non-compliance with the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may increase the risk of chemical exposure through inhalation and skin contact, thereby triggering an allergic immune response characterized by elevated total IgE levels in the blood. This study aimed to determine the relationship between compliance with the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and total Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels among Textile industry workers. This research was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 15 Textile industry workers who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, selected using purposive sampling technique. Data on PPE compliance were obtained through questionnaires and interviews, while total IgE levels were measured using the Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA) method. The relationship analysis was conducted using Fisher’s Exact test. The results showed a significant relationship between PPE compliance and total IgE levels (p<0.05). It can be concluded that there is a significant association between compliance with the use of Personal Protective Equipment and total Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels among Textile industry workers.

Urban poverty remains a complex social problem that affects various community groups, including scavengers who work within the informal sector. This study aims to analyze the survival strategies of scavengers in Tangerang City and reflect on their experiences from a Christian theological perspective. The research uses a qualitative approach through literature study and descriptive analysis of relevant social phenomena. The findings show that scavengers develop several survival strategies, including utilizing family and community networks, working persistently, selecting strategic collection areas, managing limited income, and adapting to uncertain environmental and economic conditions. Nevertheless, scavengers continue to face social marginalization, economic vulnerability, occupational risks, limited access to health services, and inadequate social protection. From a Christian theological perspective, this reality calls for a response grounded in love, justice, human dignity, and concern for marginalized communities. Therefore, churches, local communities, and wider society are expected to participate actively in empowering scavengers through holistic, inclusive, and contextual approaches that strengthen welfare, social recognition, and sustainable livelihoods.

This study examines human resource competence in improving financial management at the Public Service Agency of Gorontalo State University, a public higher education institution that operates under a flexible financial management model while remaining accountable for public funds. The main problem addressed is how financial management personnel translate regulatory knowledge, technical skills, and professional attitudes into efficient, effective, and accountable financial governance. This study aims to analyze the competence of financial management personnel and explain its contribution to strengthening institutional financial management. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through interviews, observation, and document analysis involving bureau leaders, financial work team officials, treasurers, and financial managers across relevant work units. The findings show that knowledge competence is reflected in personnel understanding of regulations, policies, financial systems, budgeting procedures, reporting requirements, and the linkage between budget and institutional performance. Skills competence is demonstrated through financial administration, transaction recording, document verification, use of financial information systems, reconciliation, reporting, and preparation of accountability documents. Attitudinal competence appears in professionalism, compliance, integrity, prudence, responsibility, and openness to evaluation and audit. Financial management has been directed toward performance-based planning, expenditure control, budget realization monitoring, reporting, supervision, and audit follow-up. However, challenges remain in regulatory adaptation, system integration, data quality, document timeliness, account-code accuracy, inter-unit coordination, and consistency of audit follow-up. The study concludes that strengthening human resource competence is essential for improving financial management that is efficient, effective, accountable, and performance-oriented in public university financial governance.
