Not many studies have examined differences in anxiety in facing the world of work based on gender, specifically in vocational students. Previous research has conducted several studies on anxiety in vocational students. The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in the level of anxiety of vocational students towards the world of work based on their gender. The number of samples in this study was 233 students, of which 173 were male and 60 were female. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach, with a disproportionate stratified random sampling technique and anxiety scale used to collect data. Data processing in this study uses a normality test and homogeneity test, and data analysis using a T-test by applying IBM SPSS Statistics software version 25. The results of data analysis in the T-test show a significance level value of .737(>.05), which means that there is no difference in the level of anxiety in vocational school students in facing the world of work based on gender, which means H0 is accepted, and H1 is rejected. The results of our study indicate that gender-based anxiety in the world of work in men emphasizes the abilities they have while women emphasize feelings.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between investment and economic growth in North Sumatra Province during the period of 2005–2023. The main focus is on how investment, both Domestic Investment (PMDN) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), influences the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) as the primary indicator of economic growth. Using a descriptive qualitative method based on secondary data, the study finds that FDI tends to have a more significant impact on economic growth compared to domestic investment. Moreover, investment also plays a role in increasing employment opportunities and interacts with other variables such as inflation and government spending. The findings show that the impact of investment on economic growth can vary depending on macroeconomic conditions and other structural factors. Therefore, optimizing investment requires support from inclusive and sustainable development policies.

The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in outpatient services aims to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of clinical information. However, the effectiveness of such systems is highly dependent on user satisfaction. This study evaluated the satisfaction of health personnel using outpatient EMR at Sultan Fatah Regional Hospital, Indonesia, by employing the End User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS) model. The research addressed issues related to incomplete data, low system responsiveness, and interface usability that may affect the quality of service delivery. A qualitative descriptive method was used, involving in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis from 21 informants selected purposively across multiple service units. The EUCS dimensions—content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness—were used to assess user experience. The findings indicate that users encountered problems such as incomplete patient data and duplicate records (accuracy), non-intuitive interfaces (format and ease of use), and delays in accessing medical information (timeliness). Observations and documentation review further revealed a reliance on manual backups and inconsistencies between digital and physical records. Overall, the study highlights the need for better data integration, enhanced user training, interface redesign, and system infrastructure upgrades to ensure real-time and comprehensive EMR usage. The study concludes that addressing technical and human factors through the EUCS model can enhance user satisfaction and system utilization in outpatient healthcare settings.

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

Stunting and undernutrition remain serious public health issues among under-five children, particularly in developing countries. Community-based nutrition interventions are considered effective in integrating both specific and sensitive approaches to address these challenges. This study aims to review the effectiveness of various community-based nutrition interventions in preventing stunting and undernutrition among under-five children. A narrative review approach was employed to analyze six peer-reviewed articles published in the last five years (2021–2025), selected from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using relevant keywords and inclusion criteria. The findings demonstrate that community-based nutrition interventions positively impact stunting reduction and improve child nutritional status. The most effective interventions included family-based nutrition education, growth monitoring, supplementary feeding, lipid-based nutrient supplementation, and innovative programs such as child-owned poultry. Active community participation, engagement of health cadres, and multi-sectoral collaboration were critical to the success of the programs. Community-based nutrition interventions are effective strategies to improve child nutrition and prevent stunting, particularly when implemented participatively and sustainably. These findings provide a basis for community nursing practices and the formulation of contextually appropriate and impactful nutrition policies.
