Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The working area of the Rawasari Health Center in Jambi City shows a trend of increasing dengue cases from year to year. This indicates that there may be other factors influencing the incidence of dengue, including physical environmental conditions and community behavior. The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between the presence of mosquito larvae in water reservoirs/containers, the action of hanging clothes, using mosquito repellent, cleaning water containers, disposing of waste items, and installing wire mesh with the incidence of dengue fever in the working area of the Rawasari Health Center in 2025. This research uses a quantitative study, with a case control design. The sample size consisted of 24 cases and 24 controls determined by matched case control study techniques based on age and gender. Data were collected through questionnaires and observation sheets, and analyzed using the chi-square test to determine the relationship between the independent variables and the incidence of dengue fever. The results show that the presence of mosquito larvae in water storage containers (p-value 0.042), practices of cleaning water storage containers (p-value 0.020), actions to eliminate waste items (p-value 0.043), and the installation of screens or mosquito nets (p-value 0.004) are significantly related to the incidence of dengue fever. Conversely, other factors such as the habit of drying clothes and the use of mosquito repellent did not show a statistically significant relationship with dengue fever cases in the study population. There is a significant relationship between the actions of cleaning water storage places and installing wire mesh. Effective prevention requires active community involvement in maintaining environmental cleanliness and consistently implementing the 3M Plus practices.

Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with parents, medical record documentation studies, and literature reviews. The results of the study showed four main nursing diagnoses, namely ineffective thermoregulation, nutritional imbalance less than body requirements, risk of infection, and parental anxiety. Interventions were carried out through temperature monitoring, breastfeeding through OGT, umbilical cord care, and family education. After 3 days of care, two nursing diagnoses were successfully resolved, while the other two required follow-up. This study emphasizes the importance of a holistic and integrated nursing approach to improve clinical outcomes of LBW babies, as well as the active role of nurses in education and emotional support to families. Appropriate and evidence-based nursing care is the key to optimal neonatal care.

Cedera tulang belakang (Spinal Cord Injury/SCI) merupakan kondisi neurologis serius yang menyebabkan gangguan fungsional jangka panjang dan penurunan kualitas hidup secara signifikan. Keterbatasan mekanisme regeneratif dalam sistem saraf pusat (CNS) menjadikan pemulihan SCI sebagai tantangan besar dalam dunia medis. Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) muncul sebagai terapi potensial karena kemampuannya berdiferensiasi menjadi berbagai jenis sel saraf dan berintegrasi dengan jaringan yang rusak. Studi ini bertujuan untuk memetakan lanskap riset terkini terkait penggunaan NSCs dalam regenerasi jaringan saraf akibat SCI melalui metode scoping review. Kajian ini dilakukan berdasarkan pedoman PRISMA-ScR, dengan pencarian literatur dari tahun 2015 hingga 2025 melalui database PubMed dan Google Scholar menggunakan kata kunci terkait “Neural Stem Cells” dan “Spinal Cord Injury”. Sebanyak 145 studi memenuhi kriteria inklusi, terdiri dari 88% studi praklinis dan 12% uji klinis. Mayoritas penelitian menyoroti keberhasilan transplantasi NSCs pada model hewan SCI, dengan 60% di antaranya melaporkan peningkatan signifikan dalam fungsi motorik dan sensorik. NSCs terbukti dapat berdiferensiasi menjadi neuron, oligodendrosit, dan astrosit, serta memperbaiki jaringan yang rusak. Meskipun hasil praklinis menunjukkan harapan tinggi, penerapan klinis masih menghadapi hambatan seperti rendahnya tingkat kelangsungan hidup sel, metode transplantasi yang belum optimal, dan isu etik. Oleh karena itu, penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk mengatasi tantangan tersebut, termasuk perluasan uji klinis dengan populasi lebih besar guna mengevaluasi efektivitas dan keamanan terapi NSC dalam pengobatan SCI.

Stress is a common mental health problem among medical students due to academic demands. Physical activity is known to reduce stress through physiological and psychological mechanisms. This study aims to examine the relationship between physical activity and stress levels among medical students at Tarumanagara University class of 2022–2023. This research employed an analytical cross-sectional design. A total of 123 respondents who met the inclusion criteria completed the physical activity (Baecke Questionnaire) and stress level (Perceived Stress Scale-10) questionnaires. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The results showed that 95.1% of respondents experienced moderate to severe stress, while only 15.4% regularly exercised. A significant relationship was found between physical activity and stress level (p = 0.000). The odds ratio of 13.600 indicates that students who exercised regularly were 13 times more likely to experience lower stress compared to those who did not. This study highlights the role of regular physical activity as a protective factor in managing stress among medical students

Anemia is a condition where a person's body experiences a decrease or the number of red blood cells in the body is below normal limits. this can occur due to a lack of hemoglobin in the body, thereby affecting the amount of red blood cell production. in indonesia, the incidence of anemia in pregnant women is still quite common. one way to prevent anemia in pregnant women is to consume iron (fe) tablets. however, the compliance of pregnant women in consuming iron tablets is still low, which is caused by various factors such as knowledge and regularity which will later influence the formation of health behavior.

Hospitals, as healthcare service providers, are required to improve the quality and efficiency of their services, one of which is through the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR). This transformation impacts the workload of staff, particularly in the Medical Records Unit. This study aims to analyze the workload and staffing needs of the Medical Records Unit at Dr. Sitanala Central General Hospital using a descriptive quantitative approach with the Health Workload Analysis (ABK-Kes) method. Data were collected through observation and interviews with six staff members using observation sheets, interview guidelines, and informed consent forms. The results show that the Available Working Time (AWT) is 72,000 minutes per year, exceeding the national standard. There are 11 core tasks and 3 supporting tasks, with the highest Standard Workload (SWL) found in the recording and filing activity (72,000), and the Standard Supporting Task (SST) value is 1.2. Based on achievements, SWL, and SST, a total of four staff members are needed to balance the workload. Currently, only one staff member remains due to staff rotation, resulting in a shortage of three personnel. Therefore, Dr. Sitanala Hospital needs to recruit three additional medical record officers with a minimum qualification of a D3 in Medical Records to maintain optimal service and manageable workloads.
