Heart failure requires effective self-care to prevent complications, and understanding demographic influences supports tailored interventions. This study assessed self-care behaviors among HF patients and examined the impact of demographic variables. A cross-sectional study involving 159 patients receiving treatment for at least 6 months was selected through simple random sampling, and the SCHFI v7.2 was used, with analyses conducted using SPSS 27.0. Participants showed strong maintenance behaviors but moderate symptom management, with age the only significant predictor. HF patients perform well in maintenance tasks, but younger heart failure patients need targeted support to improve self-care.

Background: Hope is an essential psychological resource that enables children with cancer to cope with the stress and uncertainty of long-term treatment. However, research focusing on the level of hope among children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in Indonesia or Southeast Asia remains limited, as most studies have centered on adults or on depression and anxiety rather than hope. Understanding hope among pediatric cancer patients is crucial for developing psychosocial interventions that enhance emotional resilience and treatment adherence. Purpose: to describe the levels of hope among children under 18 years old with ALL who were undergoing chemotherapy. Method: This was a quantitative descriptive study involving 66 respondents selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Children’s Hope Scale (CHS), consisting of six items that assess agency and pathway thinking. Ethical approval and parental consent were obtained prior to data collection. Descriptive statistics were applied to analyze respondents’ demographic characteristics and hope scores. Result: The findings showed that most respondents were aged 8–12 years (56.1%), male (59.1%), and diagnosed with high-risk ALL (89.4%). More than half (54.5%) demonstrated a high level of hope, while 45.5% had a low level of hope. Younger children exhibited higher hope levels compared to adolescents. The mean hope score was 22.9 ± 3.95, with a median of 23 and a score range of 16–32, indicating a moderate to high overall level of hope. Conclusion: Most children with ALL in this study maintained a moderate to high level of hope during chemotherapy. These results emphasize the importance of assessing hope as part of psychosocial care. Strengthening hope through supportive communication and family-centered interventions can enhance children’s PWB and promote better adherence throughout the treatment process.

As public services increasingly embrace digital transformation, analyzing user sentiment has become crucial for improving application quality and strengthening citizen trust. This study evaluates three models—Support Vector Machine (SVM), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and BERT—for real-time sentiment classification of reviews from the SALAMAN application, a public service platform developed by the Bandung City Government. A dataset of 4,734 Google Play reviews was used, labeled into binary sentiments, with evaluation based on accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. BERT achieved the highest accuracy at 92.74%, followed by SVM at 91.59% and LSTM at 90.89%. Efficiency analysis revealed that SVM was the fastest, requiring 1.46 seconds for training and 0.05 seconds for inference, while BERT, despite its superior accuracy, demanded substantially higher resources with 340.32 seconds training and 8.58 seconds inference. The best-performing model was integrated with IoT platforms, including Telegram and ThingSpeak, to enable automated, real-time monitoring and sentiment notifications. These findings highlight the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency while demonstrating the practical value of IoT-enabled sentiment analysis. Future work should expand sentiment categories, diversify data sources, and optimize models for low-resource environments to enhance scalability and responsiveness in digital public services.

BackgroundMultimorbidity is highly prevalent among older adults and poses significant challenges to healthcare systems globally, especially in low and middle-income countries. Nurse-led interventions are considered a promising strategy for addressing the complexity of care required for older adults with multiple chronic conditions.PurposeThis systematic review aimed to synthesize empirical evidence on the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions in improving health outcomes among older adults with multimorbidity.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted across five major databases (PubMed, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Taylor & Francis) without time restriction. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing on nurse-led interventions in older adults with two or more chronic conditions were included. The methodological quality of studies was assessed using the Risk of Bias assessment. Data were extracted and synthesized qualitatively.ResultsA total of nine RCTs met the inclusion criteria. The interventions varied in design, setting, and duration. The interventions were categorized into three themes: (1) nursing care transitions, (2) strengthening self-management programs, and (3) integrated collaborative care. Community nurse-led interventions have consistently demonstrated effectiveness in improving physical function, chronic disease management capacity, medication adherence and knowledge, and perceptions of service quality and coordination. This intervention also contributed to a reduction in readmission rates, use of home care services, and length of stay in a secondary care facility.ConclusionNurse-led interventions demonstrate strong potential in supporting older adults with multimorbidity by enhancing self-management capacity, optimizing care transitions, and improving intersectoral coordination. To maximise impact, future implementation in developing countries like Indonesia should consider cultural adaptability, primary care readiness, and system sustainability.

Adanya homestay di desa wisata dapat menjadi salah satu sarana utama untuk pemberdayaan masyarakat termasuk yang berada dalam kategori lanjut usia atau lansia. Pengalaman menginap yang ditawarkan oleh homestay di desa wisata, bukan sebatas layanan satu arah, tetapi juga mengupayakan interaksi dua arah antara pengelola dengan wisatawan yang menginap. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi peran dan partisipasi aktif lansia dalam pengelolaan Homestay Karang Kedempel di Desa Wisata Karangsambung. Homestay ini dikelola langsung oleh seorang lansia berusia 73 tahun, yang menawarkan pengalaman menginap yang berbeda bagi para wisatawan. Dalam pengelolaan homestay ini, lansia tidak hanya bertindak sebagai pengelola, tetapi juga sebagai pelestari prinsip dan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal. Oleh karenanya, penelitian ini berupaya untuk mengeksplorasi lebih dalam bagaimana lansia menerapkan prinsip dan motivasi mereka dalam pengelolaan homestay, serta menganalisis bagaimana tantangan dan dampak sosial-ekonomi yang diberikan oleh hadirnya homestay.

Low birth weight (LBW) was the highest contributor to the infant mortality rate at 52.4% in Bandung, Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of LBW and associated risk factors. This study used a retrospective cross-sectional approach to identify 233 newborns with low birth weight from January to December 2022. The dependent (LBW) and independent variables (risk factors) were analyzed with a chi-square and Multivariate logistic regression test. The results in the bivariate analysis of this study were LBW was associated with preeclampsia (p = 0.001), gestational age (p = 0.000), premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) (p = 0.000), oligohydramnios (p = 0.019), multiple pregnancy (p = 0.000), and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) (p = 0.000). In multivariate analysis, LBW was associated with preeclampsia (p = 0.040 OR 1.806 CI 95% 1.028-3.173), gestational age (p = 0.000 OR 18.365 CI 95% 12.272-27.484), PROM (p = 0.007 OR 0.514 CI 95% 0.317-0.832), multiple pregnancy (p = 0.000 OR 4.934 CI 95% 2.246-10.841), and IUGR (p = 0.000 OR 0.043 CI 95% 0.018-0.107). Meanwhile, oligohydramnios was not associated with LBW (p = 0.099 OR 2.004 CI 95% 0.018-0.107).

Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 32 Year 2002 on Broadcasting was born after the political struggle in Indonesia. It gave birth to the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) to equalize the ownership of radio and television, thus creating a diversity of content. But now KPI's authority is weaker after the House of Representatives passed the UU Cipta Kerja. KPI's role is only like an NGO. Now the Broadcasting Law will be revised by the House of Representatives. The Program is in the form of broadcast content, who supervises it, what is the role of KPI after the Undang-undang Cipta Kerja. Instead of being an independent institution, KPI now seems to be a broadcasting Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). This research uses a qualitative method. The research was conducted by interviewing KPI commissioners in various regions in Indonesia. The authority of the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) as an independent body must remain firm and robust, standing as the leading regulator for broadcasting institutions, both radio and television, as well as for digital media content. For social justice in Indonesia, media ownership diversity must be regulated in the revised Broadcasting Law. Ensuring media ownership diversity across various regions and sectors is essential to prevent media ownership monopolies, which could result in only a few entities controlling television and radio broadcasting.

The purpose of this research is to determine the protection and constitutional rights of Indonesian workers, namely female workers abroad. The research method uses a qualitative approach to describe actual phenomena in the field. Data collection techniques using primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. Conclusion: TKI can generate foreign exchange of more than 20 (twenty) trillion rupiah. It is very clear that Indonesian migrant workers, especially Indonesian migrant workers, have contributed quite a bit of foreign exchange to the country. The Government's implementation of the protection of the constitutional rights of Indonesian migrant workers abroad is very weak and seems half-hearted. The concept of protection and implementation of protection for migrant workers abroad is made in the form of applicable laws and international agreements. The implementation of laws and regulations regarding the protection of Indonesian migrant workers and international agreements that aim to protect human rights and constitutional rights as citizens of Indonesian migrant workers who work abroad actually shows the weakness of the state in the eyes of the world in protecting their dignity and dignity.

Environmental problems such as erosion, flooding, are mainly caused by human activities itself. Due to main environmental problems mainly came or originated from man, the solutions or prevention effort to repair the environment, must involve human factors in its planning. In Indonesia in general, including in Bendungan Village, limited insight, lack of skills, poor health, and a low work ethic are all internal factors that cause environmental problems. Furthermore, the lack of knowledge about the environment is one of the causes of the emergence of environmentally destructive behavior that is carried out unconsciously. One of the problems in this village is garbage, people throw garbage into drains and empty land because they are not aware of the consequences of their actions. One solution that exists to solve environmental problems by involving human factors in it is through capacity building, one of which is through a sustainability education and incentive given by the West java Government. Through this concept, citizens are given education about the impact of their previous behavior, one of them is the behavior of littering. The program also provides economic value to waste so that there is an incentive to maintain the condition or waste managing waste in their village. This research used Mixed Methods approach (quantitative and qualitative) and use secondary data review, direct observation and semi semi-structured interviewing to collect the data. This research found that the main factor for the success of this program is the people who willing to be open concerning the program and its concepts, thus becoming aware about their environmental problems, they willing to work for the benefit of their village. In this village the push factor are economic and re-education aspects that move the people to save their environment. The economic benefit from garbage bank also have helped this program. The obstacles to the program in this village are the lack of facilities that they have, and for cadres to teach people about the environment, the lack of the government to provide formal education for the people and the last obstacle of this program is the economic factor, low amount of sellable garbage such as PET and cans have become major obstacle in promoting garbage bank.
