The manner in which parents nurture their children can influence adolescents’ levels of anxiety and depression. Parenting that is authoritative tends to promote better mental health, while an authoritarian style is commonly related to an increased risk of psychological problems.</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> This systematic review seeks to investigate the impact of various parenting styles authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful on the psychosocial well-being of adolescents.</p> <p><strong>Method: </strong>The literature review included studies published from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2024, which were sourced from four different databases: PubMed, ProQuest, JSTOR, and Garuda. The target population was adolescents aged 11 to 19 years. Parenting styles were evaluated using the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), while mental health outcomes were assessed through various instruments, This included measures such as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), and the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument, Version 2 (MAYSI-2), and the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF). Three reviewers independently carried out article screening, data extraction, and quality assessment, following the PRISMA framework. Study quality was further appraised using the CASP checklist. The extracted information included author details, type of intervention, facilitator, research setting, number and length of sessions, as well as the methods or media employed.</p> <p><strong>Result: </strong>A total of nine articles involving 2,036 participants were included. The results indicate that parenting styles have a notable influence on adolescents’ psychosocial well-being. Adolescents with authoritative parents showed higher psychological flexibility, whereas those with authoritarian parents experienced increased anxiety, depression, and socio-emotional challenges.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The review concludes that authoritative parenting is the most effective approach for promoting adolescents’ psychosocial well-being. It enhances self-esteem and psychological flexibility while lowering anxiety and depression. Parenting education and targeted interventions should therefore be encouraged in clinical practice to foster authoritative parenting and promote adolescents’ mental well-being.</p> Adelia Indrianti, Azma Nur Fitriani, Hani Septiani, Rania Herdiani Putri, Diny Nur Fauziah, Lilis Lismayanti Copyright (c) 2026 Adelia Indrianti, Azma Nur Fitriani, Hani Septiani, Rania Herdiani Putri, Diny Nur Fauziah, Lilis Lismayanti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/827 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Holistic Care for Reducing Pain Intensity among Individual with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Systematic Literature Review https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/834 <p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder marked by persistent joint inflammation that causes pain, stiffness, and impaired mobility.

The prevalence of hypertension continues to increase and is frequently associated with serious complications such as heart failure, stroke, kidney damage, and visual impairment. Several factors, including age, physical inactivity, and smoking habits, contribute to the development of hypertension-related complications. Understanding these associated factors is essential to strengthen preventive and promotive strategies in managing hypertension complications.</p> <p><strong>Objective</strong>: Hypertension or high blood pressure is a serious medical condition that significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disorders, and visual impairments. Data from 2024 show an increase in complications, with 70 cases related to heart failure and stroke, and 17 cases involving kidney damage and vision loss.</p> <p><strong>Method</strong>: This study aims to identify the factors associated with the increased incidence of complications in hypertensive patients at Sejiran Setason Regional Public Hospital, West Bangka, in 2025. This research employs a quantitative method with a correlational analytic design and a cross-sectional approach, where independent and dependent variables are measured at a single point in time.</p> <p><strong>Result</strong>: The results indicate a significant relationship between age, physical activity, and smoking habits with the occurrence of complications in hypertensive patients. Older individuals have a higher risk of hypertension-related complications. Additionally, a lack of physical activity and smoking habits further increase this risk.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Based on these findings, preventive efforts are recommended through health lifestyle education and regular screening for high-risk groups. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects of these factors on the progression of hypertension complications.</p> Marlizah, Kgs. M.

Triggered mainly by the <em>Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV),</em> this condition causes airway inflammation, mucus obstruction, and respiratory distress that can rapidly progress to oxygenation failure. While most cases are self-limiting, inadequate nursing interventions often lead to prolonged illness and complications. Therefore, implementing evidence-based nursing strategies, including observation, education, therapeutic, and collaborative approaches, is essential to ensure comprehensive respiratory management and faster recovery in affected infants.</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> This study aims to analyse the implementation of nursing care strategies through observation, education, therapeutic, and collaborative approaches to optimize respiratory management and recovery in infants with bronchiolitis.</p> <p><strong>Method:</strong> This study used a literature review design by analysing six relevant articles published between 2021 and 2025 obtained from <em>Google Scholar.</em> The literature selection followed the <em>Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) </em>guidelines, focusing on the implementation of nursing strategies in managing respiratory problems in bronchiolitis.</p> <p><strong>Result: </strong>The review found that observation was the most frequently applied nursing intervention, serving as the foundation for assessing physiological responses. Therapeutic and collaborative actions, such as chest physiotherapy, semi-fowler, positioning, nebulization, and oxygen therapy, were effective in improving oxygen saturation and reducing respiratory effort. Educational interventions, although less common, significantly strengthened family involvement and awareness of home care practices. The integration of these four strategies enhanced recovery, improved comfort, and demonstrated measurable clinical benefits for infants with bronchiolitis.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The balanced and evidence-based application of observation, education, therapeutic, and collaborative strategies strengthens nursing care quality, accelerates respiratory recovery, and reinforces the nurse’s essential role in holistic management of bronchiolitis</p> Kezia Octavina Siagian , Angelica Juliani, Permaida, Meylona Verawati Zendrato Copyright (c) 2026 Kezia Octavina Siagian , Angelica Juliani, Permaida, Meylona Verawati Zendrato https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/951 Fri, 26 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Differences in Dysmenorrhea Levels among Female Adolescent Users of Conventional and Electronic Cigarettes https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/963 <p><strong>Introduction</strong>: Dysmenorrhea is a common reproductive health problem among adolescent females and is often associated with various lifestyle factors, including smoking behavior. The increasing use of conventional cigarettes and electronic cigarettes among young women raises concerns regarding their potential impact on menstrual pain.</p> <p><strong>Objective</strong>: This study aimed to compare the level of dysmenorrhea between adolescent females who use conventional cigarettes and those who use electronic cigarettes.</p> <p><strong>Method</strong>: This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and involved 70 respondents aged 15–24 years in Sumedang Regency, consisting of 35 conventional cigarette users and 35 electronic cigarette users. Data were collected using an online and offline questionnaire that included demographic characteristics, smoking behavior adapted from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), and menstrual pain measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney test with a significance level of 0.05.</p> <p><strong>Result</strong>: The results showed that most respondents in both groups experienced severe dysmenorrhea, with mean pain scores of 7.114 for conventional cigarette users and 7.200 for electronic cigarette users. Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.833).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: These findings suggest that both types of smoking may have similar biological impacts on menstrual pain due to the presence of nicotine. Further studies are recommended to assess additional confounding factors and measure nicotine exposure more precisely.</p> Vynna Leyra Pertiwi, Emi Lindayanti, Ida Nurhidayah Copyright (c) 2026 Vynna Leyra Pertiwi, Emi Lindayanti, Ida Nurhidayah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/963 Fri, 26 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 The Effect of Video-Based Education on Pregnant Women’s Knowledge Regarding Triple Elimination Screening https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/971 <p><strong>Introduction</strong>: Maternal to child transmission of infectious diseases such as HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B remains a major global health concern. The “Triple Elimination” program integrates early detection and prevention strategies for these infections within maternal health services. However, limited maternal knowledge and awareness impede optimal screening participation, especially in developing regions.

Statitical tests showed a p-value &lt;0.05 for both variables, indicating that nutrition education using animated video media had significant effect on improving adolescents knowledge and comprehension of reading nutrition facts.</p> Puspita Suci, Aila Karyus, Hidayatusy Syukrina Puteri Copyright (c) 2026 Puspita Suci, Aila Karyus, Hidayatusy Syukrina Puteri https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/786 Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700 The Relationship Between Food Acceptability and Intake on Morning Meal Leftovers in Pediatric Patients https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/787 <p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Childhood malnutrition remains a significant public health concern, and adequate nutritional intake during hospitalization is essential to support recovery and growth in pediatric patients. Hospital food services are required to provide nutritionally adequate and acceptable meals; however, food waste among hospitalized children, particularly during breakfast, remains a persistent problem. High levels of leftover food may indicate low food acceptability and inadequate food intake, which can hinder the fulfillment of children’s nutritional needs. Food acceptability, influenced by sensory characteristics and eating habits, plays an important role in determining food consumption among pediatric patients. Therefore, evaluating the relationship between food acceptability, food intake, and breakfast food waste is crucial to improve the effectiveness of hospital nutrition services for children.</p> <p><strong>Objective</strong>: Child nutrition issues, such as wasting and stunting, remain a serious challenge, especially in developing countries. Optimal nutrition in hospitals is important to support children's growth and recovery. This study aims to analyze the relationship between acceptability and food intake to morning food waste in pediatric patients at Santa Anna Hospital.</p> <p><strong>Method</strong>: This study used a descriptive quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 30 inpatient pediatric patients was taken purposively. Acceptability was measured using an organoleptic assessment form, while food intake was measured using the Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the chi-square test.</p> <p><strong>Result</strong>: The results showed that 86.7% of children liked the morning meal menu, 96.6% had sufficient to good intake, but 53.3% still left food in large quantities. There was a significant relationship between acceptability and food waste (p = 0.009), and between food intake and food waste (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The higher the acceptability and food intake, the less food leftovers left by pediatric patients..</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: The results of this study emphasize the importance of improving the quality of nutrition services, including menu improvement, presentation, and patient companion education to reduce food waste and support optimal recovery of pediatric patients.</p> <p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Childhood malnutrition remains a significant public health concern, and adequate nutritional intake during hospitalization is essential to support recovery and growth in pediatric patients.

The rising number of CHF cases at Depati Hamzah General Hospital highlights the need to identify factors associated with the increase in CHF incidence.</p> <p><strong>Objective</strong>: This study aims to determine the factors associated with the increase in CHF at Depati Hamzah General Hospital, Pangkalpinang, in 2025.</p> <p><strong>Method</strong>: The research method used was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 169 patients was selected using quota sampling. Data were obtained through questionnaires and medical records, then analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of α = 0.05.</p> <p><strong>Result</strong>: The results showed a significant association between age (p = 0.006), gender (p = 0.007), hypertension (p = 0.000), and smoking (p = 0.005).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: The conclusion of this study is that education about the factors of CHF plays a crucial role in preventing CHF from an early age. This includes consuming a healthy diet, exercising frequently/engaging in physical activity, quitting smoking, and regularly checking with the nearest health facility.</p> Nabilah Ambarsari, H.

Despite growing awareness of the need for hemodynamic control, variations in MAP across different patient characteristics and surgical types remain insufficiently documented in clinical practice.</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> This study aimed to evaluate intraoperative MAP patterns in patients undergoing general anesthesia and to identify variations based on demographic and clinical factors.</p> <p><strong>Method:</strong> A descriptive observational design was applied to 61 elective surgical patients with ASA physical status I–II at RSI Sultan Agung Semarang. Intraoperative MAP measurements were recorded using standardized patient monitoring systems. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation.</p> <p><strong>Result:</strong> The mean intraoperative MAP was 69.49 ± 4.32 mmHg. Although most respondents maintained normotensive values, 8.2% experienced hypotension below the 65 mmHg threshold. Higher MAP values were observed in patients aged 41–50 years, those with ASA II status, and those undergoing lower abdominal surgery. Lower MAP values were more common in urology procedures and among ASA I patients.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Although the overall MAP level remained within the acceptable clinical range, the presence of intraoperative hypotension in a subset of patients underscores the importance of proactive, individualized hemodynamic monitoring. Variations in MAP across demographic and surgical factors highlight the need for patient-specific hemodynamic targets to ensure optimal intraoperative safety.</p> Suyanti, Yuli Widyastuti, Indah Nur Aisyah Copyright (c) 2026 Suyanti, Yuli Widyastuti, Indah Nur Aisyah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/958 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700 Analysis of the Use of the SOFA Score in Predicting Mortality among Critically III Patients https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/996 <p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Sepsis is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in critical patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Delays in identifying organ dysfunction are an important factor that increases the risk of death. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score is an assessment tool that is widely used to measure the extent of organ damage and predict mortality in sepsis patients.</p> <p><strong>Objective: </strong>To know the output results of sepsis and sepsis shock patients and which indicators of the SOFA Score affect the patient's output.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>Quantitative research with a retrospective cohort design with a total population of 102 patients with a sample of 53 patients assisted by scoring assessment using the MDCalc application.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong> overall output experienced mortality with the indicators that affected the SOFA Score score, namely; MAP, FiO2, Ventilator Use, Billirubin, and GCS. Other indicators that affect output include; RR, Glucose, and Leukocytes.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study confirms that SOFA Score can be used as an effective prediction tool to assess the prognosis of sepsis patients, as well as sepsis shock so that it can assist health workers in clinical decision-making and therapy planning more appropriately.</p> Reyshar Pratama Putra, Andi Subandi, Putri Irwanti Sari, Nurhusna, Yosi Oktarina Copyright (c) 2026 Reyshar Pratama Putra, Andi Subandi, Putri Irwanti Sari, Nurhusna, Yosi Oktarina https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://genius.inspira.or.id/index.php/gj/article/view/996 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700
