Despite their critical role in health promotion, many nurses neglect their cardiovascular preventive activities (CVPAs). This study assessed the prevalence and associated factors of good CVPAs among female nurses at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Hospital. 212 registered female nurses participated in a cross-sectional study that was carried out between June and August 2015. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, work-related factors, and CVPAs were collected through a structured self-administered questionnaire. Good CVPAs were defined as adherence to dietary guidelines, regular physical activity, non-smoking, alcohol avoidance, and regular health screenings. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with good CVPAs. Only 14.2% of nurses practiced good CVPAs. While 75.5% were physically active, only 17.9% consumed five or more servings of fruits and vegetables regularly. Nurses in medical-based departments had lower odds of practicing good CVPAs compared to those in surgical-based units (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.08-0.76, p = 0.015). The prevalence of good CVPAs among female nurses at USM Hospital is low, especially regarding dietary adherence. The work department significantly influences preventive practices, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to promote cardiovascular health among nurses.</p> Nik Siti Fatimah Mohamed Siti Suhaila Mohd Yusoff Faridah Mohd Zin Copyright (c) 2025 Nik Siti Fatimah Mohamed, Siti Suhaila Mohd Yusoff, Faridah Mohd Zin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 8 2 12 25 10.34012/jukep.v8i2.6628 https://jurnal.unprimdn.ac.id/index.php/jukep/article/view/6629 <p>Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a significant complication among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, impacting their quality of life and healthcare resources. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of DKD prevention and identify their predictors among T2DM patients in Northeast Peninsular Malaysia. A cross-sectional study involving 600 T2DM patients from government health clinics in Kelantan was conducted using a validated questionnaire. Logistic regression analyses were used to determine predictors of poor KAP. Results showed that 77% of participants had poor knowledge, 58.2% had poor attitudes, and 50.78% had poor practices regarding DKD prevention. Predictors of poor knowledge included being single, widowed, or divorced, lower education, and having at least one diabetic complication. Interestingly, unemployed participants had lower odds of poor knowledge. Poor attitudes were linked to lower education and unemployment, while poor practices were predicted by ethnicity, lower education, and poor attitudes. These findings suggest that DKD prevention strategies should focus on improving education, targeting vulnerable groups, and addressing socio-demographic factors to enhance KAP among T2DM patients.</p> Anas Rosedi Suhaily Mohd Hairon Siti Suhaila Mohd Yusoff Anees Abdul Hameed Mohammad Fazrul Mohammad Basir Copyright (c) 2025 Anas Rosedi, Suhaily Mohd Hairon, Siti Suhaila Mohd Yusoff, Anees Abdul Hameed, Mohammad Fazrul Mohammad Basir https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 8 2 26 38 10.34012/jukep.v8i2.6629 https://jurnal.unprimdn.ac.id/index.php/jukep/article/view/6772 <p>Sexual violence is a forced sexual act without consent and has consequences for health problems, namely reproductive health, physical health, and mental health, which can be felt in the short and long term. It has become a global issue that requires immediate attention. This study aims to analyze the relationship between parent-adolescent communication and adolescents' ability to protect themselves against sexual violence in Medan City. The research employs a quantitative approach using a descriptive correlation method, involving 52 respondents-students in grades X and XI at MAS Al-Jamiyatul Washliyah school in Medan City-selected through purposive sampling. The Chi-Square test was utilized for data analysis. Research data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires using the google form application in May 2024, and computerized data processing using SPSS with univariate and bivariate data analysis<em>.</em> The findings revealed that 73.1% of respondents exhibited good parent-adolescent communication, 98.1% demonstrated effective self-protection skills, and 94.2% were considered at low risk of sexual violence. The results of the Chi-Square test indicated a significant relationship between parent-adolescent communication and the incidence of sexual violence, with a p-value of 0.003 (α = 0.05). However, there was no significant relationship found between adolescents' self-protection skills and the risk of sexual violence, as indicated by a p-value of 0.803 (α = 0.05). In conclusion, both parent-adolescent communication and self-protection skills are essential preventive measures against sexual violence. It is expected that schools can provide education related to the importance of parent-adolescent communication to prevent sexual violence.</p> Afrila Syahrani Dewi Elizadiani Suza Copyright (c) 2025 Afrila Syahrani, Dewi Elizadiani Suza https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 8 2 1 11 10.34012/jukep.v8i2.6772
