2026-04-25T17:06:06+07:00

Background: Child development involves various interconnected aspects, such as physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and language aspects, so a holistic approach is needed to understand development as a whole. Various studies have shown that imbalanced stimulation, especially when stimulation focuses only on academic abilities while social-emotional aspects are less considered, results in children not receiving optimal developmental support. This emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach in understanding child development. Objective: To review the literature related to various aspects of early childhood development and describe a holistic approach in supporting child development as a whole.Method: This study employed a literature review using a narrative review approach. Data were obtained from the Google Scholar and PubMed databases, covering publications from 2021 to 2025, using Boolean-based keywords. A total of 35 articles were initially identified (n=35), of which 9 articles met the inclusion criteria (n=9) and were included in the analysis. Data were analyzed descriptively by categorizing findings based on developmental domains. Results: Of the 35 identified articles, 9 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The synthesis indicates that early childhood development is consistently described as a multidimensional process with interrelated domains. The reviewed studies highlight the interconnections among cognitive, language, motor, and socio-emotional development, with varying emphases on play-based activities, parenting practices, learning environments, and the use of educational media. In addition, several studies report that developmental stimulation practices remain predominantly academically oriented and do not fully reflect a holistic approach. Conclusion: A holistic approach is an important strategy for understanding and monitoring child development. Positive parenting, family environment, social interaction, and collaboration between parents, health workers, and educators play an important role in supporting child development in various aspects.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health issue with high incidence rates in Indonesia, including West Java Province. Patients with pulmonary TB often experience abnormal breathing patterns that lead to decreased oxygen saturation. Non-pharmacological interventions are needed as complementary therapies to help improve respiratory function. The balloon-blowing breathing relaxation technique is a breathing exercise aimed at improving lung expansion and gas exchange efficiency through the mechanism of positive expiratory pressure. Objective: To describe the application of the balloon-blowing breathing relaxation technique as a nursing intervention to improve oxygen saturation in patients with pulmonary TB. Methods: A descriptive approach using the case report method, covering the nursing care process from assessment to evaluation. The study subject was Mr. J (70 years old) with a medical diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Lavender Ward of X General Hospital. The intervention was administered once daily for 15 minutes over three consecutive days. Oxygen saturation measurements were taken using a pulse oximeter before and after the intervention. Results: There was a gradual increase in oxygen saturation from 93% on the first day to 98% on the third day following the intervention. The patient also reported a reduction in shortness of breath and appeared more relaxed. The nursing problem of ineffective breathing pattern was resolved after three days of intervention. Conclusion: The balloon-blowing breathing relaxation technique proved effective as a self-care nursing intervention in improving oxygen saturation in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. This intervention can be recommended as a complementary therapy in clinical nursing practice to support improvements in patients’ oxygenation status.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from impaired insulin secretion or function. Long-term uncontrolled blood glucose levels carry a risk of triggering microvascular complications such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), which is characterized by nerve damage and reduced sensitivity. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between hyperglycemia status and the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in Type 2 DM patients at the outpatient unit of RSIJ Cempaka Putih. Methods: A descriptive correlational study design with a cross-sectional approach was used. The study population consisted of all Type 2 DM patients at the RSIJ Cempaka Putih Outpatient Unit, with a sample size of 94 respondents selected via purposive sampling. The research instruments included medical record review for blood glucose levels and the 10-g monofilament test for neuropathy detection. Results: The majority of respondents were male (51.1%), with an average age of 58.73 years, and had had DM for >5 years (56.4%). A total of 53.2% of respondents were in a state of hyperglycemia ( mg/dL) and 70.2% of respondents had peripheral neuropathy. Chi-square test results showed a statistically significant association between hyperglycemia status and the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy, with a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant association between hyperglycemia and the development of peripheral neuropathy. These findings suggest that unstable blood glucose levels are a major determinant of nerve damage in patients with diabetes, underscoring the need for improved glycemic management and foot care education to prevent further complications.

Background: The global prevalence of hypertension is on the rise. This lack of motivation is exacerbated by minimal support from the surrounding community and a healthcare system that is not yet optimal in facilitating routine monitoring. Regular blood pressure checks are key to the early detection and management of hypertension. Objective: To identify the relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy and the motivation of hypertensive patients to have their blood pressure checked at community health centers. Methods: A descriptive study of 50 hypertensive patients selected using total sampling; data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: Respondents were adults (90%), predominantly female (70%), married (86%), with an education level of ≤ elementary school (30%), and farmers (63%). Knowledge was moderate (78%), self-efficacy was high (62%), and motivation was high (76%). All those with high knowledge had high motivation (p > 0.05), whereas 94.7% of those with high self-efficacy had high motivation (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There is no association between knowledge and patient motivation to measure blood pressure; however, there is a significant association between self-efficacy and patient motivation to measure blood pressure at the community health center. It is recommended to enhance educational programs and provide ongoing support to strengthen the knowledge, self-efficacy, and motivation of hypertensive patients regarding routine blood pressure monitoring.
