VIA is a simple test. The VIA test is a method for early detection of cervical cancer by applying 3-5% acetic acid or vinegar. It has a 96% accuracy rate; abnormal areas will turn white. If there is no color change, it can be assumed that there is no cervical infection. This VIA test is important for fertile couples, including preconception women with PUS. To determine the relationship between knowledge and family role with compliance with VIA testing in preconception women with PUS at the Ajangale Community Health Center (UPT). This study used an observational research method with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were all PUS women aged 20-35 years at the UPT Ajangale Community Health Center. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique, obtaining 30 respondents. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire. The collected data were then processed and analyzed using the SPSS statistical program and analyzed using the chi-square test. The study showed a relationship between compliance with VIA testing and two variables studied: knowledge (p=0.000) and family role (0.000). Compliance with VIA testing in preconceptional women with PUS is influenced by both knowledge and family role. This study focused on preconception women with PUS at the Ajangale Community Health Center, aiming to understand the factors that influence their compliance with VIA testing. By analyzing the relationship between knowledge and family role with VIA compliance, the study highlights the importance of educating women about the benefits of early cervical cancer detection and the pivotal role families play in supporting health-seeking behaviors.

Amphibian Cessna 172 SP is an aircraft designed to operate in aquatic environments and is frequently exposed to seawater, which is highly corrosive. Such exposure poses a serious issue of corrosion affecting both the structure and components of the aircraft, particularly the floats, lower fuselage, and propeller. Corrosion not only reduces the quality and integrity of the material but also potentially compromises flight safety and increases maintenance costs. This study aims to analyze the causes of corrosion on the Seaplane Amphibian Cessna 172 SP using the fishbone diagram to identify the main contributing factors, including material, method, environment, manpower, and machine. In addition, the 5W+1H approach is employed to examine the problem in greater detail and develop preventive strategies. The results of the analysis indicate that the dominant factors causing corrosion are the high intensity of direct contact with seawater, suboptimal cleaning processes due to limited manpower, and the use of cleaning agents not fully compatible with aircraft materials. Mitigation efforts include implementing more effective cleaning procedures, applying anti-corrosion chemicals such as AeroShell Fluid 41, Bonderite Turco S.S.2, Ardrox AV-15, CorrosionX, Toolmates Dry Film Lubricant 6075, and Ultra Tef-Gel, as well as conducting scheduled inspections at specific intervals. This research is expected to provide more appropriate preventive strategies to extend the service life of the aircraft structure while maintaining both operational safety and efficiency.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease that is currently a major public health problem in Indonesia. The prevalence of DM continues to increase from year to year, not only in urban areas but also increasingly found in rural areas. One factor contributing to the high number of DM cases is a lack of public awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle, as well as the continued presence of many undiagnosed cases, resulting in delayed treatment. Therefore, early detection efforts and health education that can reach the community at the community level are needed. This community service program was designed to conduct random blood sugar screenings while increasing the knowledge of residents of RW 15 Kalibaru regarding the prevention and control of DM. The activity was carried out on August 24, 2025, involving 21 participants, most of whom were from adults to the elderly. The activity method consisted of two main stages: checking blood sugar levels using a glucometer and a health education session on a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet, and the importance of regular physical activity. The results of the activity showed that the indicators of success were well achieved. This was indicated by the orderly implementation of the examinations, a high level of participation from residents, and increased awareness of the dangers of DM among participants. From the examination results, most participants had normal blood sugar levels, but several people were found with blood sugar levels above the normal limit who required medical follow-up.

Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells or hemoglobin levels in the blood. This results in a reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen throughout the body. Consequently, individuals with anemia may experience various symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. The main causes of anemia are generally due to a lack of knowledge about this condition and deficiencies in nutrients such as iron.The purpose of this study is to determine the level of knowledge among ninth-grade female students regarding the prevention of anemia and their ability to prevent it. This study uses a descriptive research method, focusing on describing the level of knowledge of ninth-grade female students about the prevention of anemia.The study uses the Total Sampling method as the sampling technique, which means that all members of the population are included as respondents. Therefore, the number of respondents in this study is equal to the total population of female students, which are 54 individuals. Data collection is conducted using a closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 20 items covering indicators such as the definition of anemia, its etiology, signs and symptoms, treatment, and prevention.The results of the study show that knowledge regarding the definition of anemia is in the good category for 35 respondents (64.8%), knowledge about etiology is in the fair category for 35 respondents (64.8%), knowledge of signs and symptoms was in the fair category for 45 respondents (83.3%), knowledge about treatment is in the good category for 33 respondents (61.1%), and knowledge of prevention is in the fair category for 32 respondents (59.3%).It is hoped that by increasing the knowledge of ninth-grade female students about the prevention of anemia, schools and health workers can work together to carry out regular health education.

The misuse of social media in Indonesia has become an increasingly concerning issue, particularly among teenagers and university students who lack awareness of the legal consequences of digital activities. Students at Universitas Teknologi Mataram (UTM), as active social media users, are vulnerable to committing violations, whether consciously or unconsciously, due to limited understanding of the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE).

Sleep is a fundamental human need that plays a crucial role in maintaining both physical and mental health. Poor sleep quality can trigger a variety of health problems, ranging from decreased concentration to an increased risk of chronic diseases. The complexity of factors influencing sleep quality—such as stress levels, heart rate, blood pressure, physical activity, and lifestyle—makes its assessment difficult through direct observation alone. Therefore, data mining approaches are increasingly utilized to identify relevant patterns in sleep-related data. This study aims to compare the performance of the C4.5 (Decision Tree) algorithm and the Naïve Bayes algorithm in predicting sleep quality using the Sleep Health and Lifestyle dataset, which contains information from 374 respondents. The research method applied is a quantitative comparative approach employing classification techniques with 10-fold cross-validation to ensure robust evaluation. Model performance is assessed using accuracy, precision, and recall metrics to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of each algorithm. The findings indicate that the C4.5 algorithm achieves an accuracy of 96.26% and offers advantages in terms of interpretability through its decision tree visualization, enabling easier understanding of variable relationships. In contrast, the Naïve Bayes algorithm demonstrates superior predictive performance, achieving an accuracy of 98.66% along with consistently high precision and recall across nearly all classes. These results suggest that Naïve Bayes is more effective for predictive tasks involving sleep quality, while C4.5 remains highly valuable when the goal is to interpret variable interactions and decision rules. Overall, this research highlights the potential of data mining techniques in health informatics, particularly in improving the understanding and prediction of sleep quality, which in turn can contribute to better prevention and management of sleep-related health issues.

Homogeneous leukoplakia is a mucosal lesion that is mostly white in color with a thin, flat surface that cannot be scraped off, most commonly found on the buccal mucosa, tongue, and floor of the mouth. In contrast to non-homogeneous leukoplakia, which appears white and red, and is nodular, speckled, or granular, non-homogeneous leukoplakia has a higher risk of malignant transformation. However, homogeneous leukoplakia is more commonly encountered than the non-homogeneous type. This article aims to report the management and implementation of communication, information, and education (CIE) in a suspected case of homogeneous leukoplakia in a 20-year-old woman. The patient presented to the Soelastri Dental and Oral Hospital in Surakarta with a complaint of a white patch on the tip of her tongue that had been present for six months. The patient had previously undergone scraping with gauze and betadine and was given antibiotics and mouthwash, but there was no significant change. Intraoral examination revealed a white patch on the dorsum of the tongue with a velvety surface, well-defined borders, asymptomatic, soft consistency, and rough texture. The management of this case included a thorough oral cavity examination, as well as providing detailed CIE about the condition experienced by the patient, including the importance of eliminating risk factors and reducing the likelihood of malignant transformation. The patient was also advised to undergo supportive testing, including biopsy, to confirm the diagnosis. In conclusion, homogeneous leukoplakia is a lesion that is mostly white, thin, flat, and cannot be scraped off. Management focuses on appropriate CIE, managing the existing lesions, eliminating causal factors, and monitoring the risk of malignant transformation. The implementation of CIE is effective in improving patient understanding and supporting patient involvement in managing the condition, thereby minimizing complications and long-term risks.

Breast tumors are masses or lumps in the breast. Treating breast tumors requires several treatment methods, such as surgery. One of the impacts that arise after surgery is infection. One effort to prevent infection during hospitalization and after the patient returns home from the hospital is by providing sterile kit care education to increase independence in preventing infection in post-operative wounds. The purpose of this study was to determine of the effectiveness of "Sterile Kit Care" education on the level of patient independence in preventing infection in post-operative wounds of breast tumors at Harapan Anda Islamic Hospital, Tegal. The research design used in this study was a quasi-experimental with a pretest and posttest design with a control group. The sample of this study was 70 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis techniques used the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. Before the intervention, the intervention and control groups had a sufficient level of independence. After the intervention, the intervention group had a sufficient level of independence, while the control group had a sufficient level of independence. There was a difference in the level of patient independence in preventing infection in post-operative wounds of breast tumors after being given sterile kit care education between the intervention group and the control group p value (0.000). Sterile kit care education was effective in increasing the level of patient independence in preventing infection in post-operative wounds of breast tumors at Harapan Anda Islamic Hospital, Tegal (0.018). It is hoped that sterile kit care education can be a routine activity for all mothers with a history of breast tumors by providing an explanation of good and correct wound care regarding the prevention of post-operative wound infections of breast tumors.

The analysis demonstrates the need for a comprehensive and integrative approach to the management of myocardial infarction patients. This includes early detection using clinical risk scores, intensive nursing interventions in severe cases such as Killip III NSTEMI, and the use of simple prognostic tools that are easily implemented in healthcare facilities. A supportive approach also plays a crucial role in improving patient comfort and adherence to therapy. The integration of these strategies is expected to improve clinical outcomes, reduce morbidity and mortality, and enhance patients' overall quality of life. This study emphasizes the importance of updating local evidence-based clinical practices tailored to the needs of the Indonesian healthcare system, so that the management of myocardial infarction does not only focus on medical therapy, but also on aspects of prevention, non-pharmacological interventions, and ongoing care.

. The phenomenon of a potential megathrust earthquake predicted to occur in the coming years has raised widespread concern among the Indonesian public, particularly due to the high vulnerability of existing structures. In response to this issue, this study aims to analyze the structural capacity of buildings in resisting seismic forces and lateral loads, with a specific focus on factory structures. As a civil engineering student specializing in structural engineering, the objective of this research is to examine the behavior, performance, and potential failure patterns of building structures under earthquake loads. The research method employs pushover analysis as a tool for structural assessment, while the evaluation process refers to the guidelines outlined in ATC-40. The analysis results indicate that the factory structure is capable of withstanding a lateral load of 108,587.40 kN, with a controlled roof displacement of 1.5 meters. The structural performance level is categorized under the Damage Control (DO) stage, specifically at performance level SP-2, where the structure remains standing under lateral loads but experiences damage requiring repair before reuse. Furthermore, the failure patterns observed reveal a progressive performance of structural elements, shifting from condition B (Basic), IO (Immediate Occupancy), LS (Life Safety), C (Collapse Prevention), up to E (Extreme Damage). These findings highlight the importance of proper structural design and evaluation in enhancing resilience, ensuring safety, and minimizing potential risks from future megathrust earthquake events.

A tumor is a collection of abnormal cells that develop due to excessive and uncontrolled cell division (Angkotasan & Vioneery, 2022). Currently, tumors are considered one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide (Maryati, 2023). The purpose of this study is to provide an in-depth understanding and description of nursing care for Mr. T, a patient with a medical diagnosis of post-operative soft tissue tumor (STT) in the right arm, who was treated in Room Mawar 2 at RSUD dr. Soeselo, Tegal Regency, in accordance with standardized nursing care guidelines. This study employed a descriptive case study method, with data obtained through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and documentation reviews. Based on the case analysis, the patient’s main complaint was severe pain following surgery. Three priority nursing diagnoses were identified: acute pain, knowledge deficit related to the disease and its management, and risk of infection due to post-surgical wound. Nursing interventions were planned and implemented according to SDKI (Standar Diagnosa Keperawatan Indonesia), SIKI (Standar Intervensi Keperawatan Indonesia), and SLKI (Standar Luaran Keperawatan Indonesia), adapted to the patient’s condition. The interventions included pain management techniques, health education, wound care, and infection prevention strategies. The results showed that after the nursing care was carried out, the patient reported a decrease in pain intensity, demonstrated increased knowledge regarding his condition, and exhibited no signs of infection. This study highlights the importance of systematic nursing care in post-operative soft tissue tumor patients to reduce complications, promote recovery, and improve quality of life. The findings are expected to contribute as a reference for nursing practice and further research on tumor management in clinical settings.
