Cesarean section has become one of the most frequently performed obstetric procedures worldwide and reflects complex interactions between maternal characteristics, reproductive history, and clinical conditions that emerge during pregnancy and childbirth. This study aimed to analyze the profile of mothers undergoing cesarean delivery through a descriptive literature review of scientific publications and national health reports. Relevant literature was obtained from reputable academic databases and official health documents to identify consistent patterns in maternal characteristics associated with cesarean delivery. The synthesis indicates that demographic attributes such as maternal age, education level, and socioeconomic conditions shape access to healthcare services and influence patterns of delivery management. Obstetric history, including parity, gestational age, and previous delivery experiences, also contributes to variations in delivery pathways and clinical decision-making. In addition, several medical indications, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, fetal distress, and other obstetric complications, represent important determinants underlying the performance of cesarean procedures. These interconnected factors demonstrate that cesarean delivery reflects not only clinical necessity but also broader maternal health profiles within healthcare systems. Understanding these multidimensional characteristics provides an important foundation for strengthening maternal health strategies and improving evidence-based obstetric care.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin action. Blood glucose control is influenced by various factors, one of which is dietary patterns. Diets that do not adhere to balanced nutrition principles can lead to poor glycemic control and increase the risk of complications. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 95 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at Sari Asih Karawaci Hospital in 2025, selected using purposive sampling techniques. Dietary pattern data were collected using a questionnaire, while blood glucose level data were obtained from medical examination results. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Contingency Coefficient test. The results showed that most respondents had good dietary patterns (58.9%), and blood glucose levels within the normal category (51.6%). Bivariate analysis using the Contingency Coefficient test indicated a p-value of 0.005, demonstrating a significant relationship between dietary patterns and blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. There is a significant relationship between dietary patterns and blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Proper dietary management is an important factor in controlling blood glucose levels and should be a primary focus in nursing care and health education for patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease that can cause impaired gas exchange due to lung tissue damage, increased mucus production, and decreased lung elasticity. This condition may lead to shortness of breath, decreased oxygen saturation, and ineffective breathing patterns. Non-pharmacological nursing interventions such as pursed lip breathing exercise and body positioning are needed to improve respiratory function. The combination of pursed lip breathing exercise and the high Fowler position is expected to enhance alveolar ventilation and improve oxygenation in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Method: This study is a quantitative research with a pre-experimental/quasi-experimental design using a pre-test and post-test approach. The sample consists of pulmonary tuberculosis patients who experience impaired gas exchange and meet the inclusion criteria. The intervention provided is a combination of pursed lip breathing exercise and the high Fowler position. Gas exchange is measured by assessing oxygen saturation and respiratory rate before and after the intervention. Data will be analyzed using appropriate statistical tests to determine the effect of the intervention.Results: The expected results of this study are an increase in oxygen saturation and improvement in respiratory rate after the application of the combination of pursed lip breathing exercise and the high Fowler position in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Conclusion: The combination of pursed lip breathing exercise and the high Fowler position is expected to have a positive effect on improving gas exchange in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and can be applied as an independent nursing intervention in clinical practice.

ABSTRACT At the elementary school level, learning to read the Qur’an serves as a fundamental foundation for instilling religious competence while shaping children’s character from an early age. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Tilawati method in improving Qur’anic reading skills among first-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Pembangunan UIN Jakarta. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis. The participants included the head of the madrasah, a certified Tilawati teacher, first-grade students, and their parents. The findings indicate that the Tilawati method was implemented through classical instruction, individual practice, and continuous evaluation, emphasizing the principles of talaqqi musyafahah, the use of the rost melody, and habituation in reading with tartil. The implementation was supported by teacher competence, the availability of learning facilities, a religious school environment, and parental involvement in assisting learning at home. The identified challenges included variations in students’ initial abilities and limited instructional time. Overall, the implementation of the Tilawati method demonstrated positive results in enhancing students’ Qur’anic reading skills, particularly in fluency, accuracy of makhraj pronunciation, application of tajwid rules, and the cultivation of proper etiquette in recitation. This study contributes to the development of Qur’anic learning strategies that are contextually relevant, systematically structured, and aligned with the developmental characteristics of early childhood learners in formal educational settings.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 10.9 per 1,000 population. This condition often results in weakness in the upper extremity muscles, which limits daily activities and reduces the patient's quality of life. Rehabilitation efforts to overcome this condition can be done through a combination of mirror therapy and ball grip as non-pharmacological therapies that play a role in increasing muscle strength through neuroplasticity and motor stimulation mechanisms. This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of mirror therapy and ball grip on increasing upper limb muscle strength in stroke patients at RSI Sultan Agung Semarang. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. A sample of 26 respondents was selected using purposive sampling with the inclusion criteria of stroke patients in the physical rehabilitation stage and having muscle strength of 1–3. The intervention was given for 10–15 minutes five times a week for four days. Muscle strength was measured using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) on a scale of 0–5 before and after the intervention. The results of the analysis showed a significant increase in upper extremity muscle strength after the intervention (p < 0.05), with the average MMT score increasing from 13.0 to 15.5. This combination of therapies is effective, safe, and easy to implement.

Bronchopneumonia is one of the leading causes of morbidity among children under five years of age and remains a common health problem. Exposure to cigarette smoke inside the household due to the smoking behavior of family members is an important environmental risk factor. Toddlers have immature immune systems and lung function, making them more susceptible to the adverse effects of cigarette smoke. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family members’ smoking behavior and the incidence of bronchopneumonia among children under five at Sari Asih Ciledug Hospital. This study employed a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 83 respondents selected using a total sampling technique. Data on family members’ smoking behavior were collected through a structured questionnaire, while data on the incidence of bronchopneumonia in toddlers were obtained from hospital medical records. Data analysis was performed using univariate analysis to describe respondent characteristics and bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test to examine the relationship between variables. The results showed a statistically significant relationship between family members’ smoking behavior and the incidence of bronchopneumonia among toddlers (p < 0.05). The Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) value of 16.640 indicated that toddlers exposed to cigarette smoke had a higher risk of developing bronchopneumonia compared to those who were not exposed
