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 https://jurnal.unprimdn.ac.id/index.php/jukep/article/view/6628 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Factors Influencing Tuberculosis Infection in Children with Close Contact of Adult Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients https://jurnal.unprimdn.ac.id/index.php/jukep/article/view/6647 <p>This research aims to determine the factors that influence tuberculosis infection in children with close contact with adult pulmonary tuberculosis sufferers.

Adequate breast milk production is essential to meet the nutritional needs of infants, particularly during the first 1,000 Days of Life (HPK), a window that significantly impacts a child's growth and development. Among the various factors that influence lactation, consistent and proper breast care practices by postpartum mothers are believed to support milk production. This study employed an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional approach. A total of 32 postpartum mothers at Klinik Pratama Hugo Hasena were selected through a total sampling technique. Data on breast care practices and breast milk production were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square statistical test. The findings revealed that the majority of mothers (81.3%) performed breast care routinely, and the same proportion (81.3%) reported sufficient breast milk production. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between breast care and breast milk production (p = 0.000). The study concludes that breast care has a significant association with breast milk production among postpartum mothers. These results highlight the importance of educating and empowering mothers on proper breast care techniques as part of postnatal support to promote successful breastfeeding. Healthcare providers are encouraged to enhance postpartum education programs, particularly focusing on the role of breast care in supporting optimal lactation and infant health during the critical early stages of life.</p> Aisyah Aisyah, Juliati Juliati, Nur Hasanah, Dedek Agustina Copyright (c) 2025 Aisyah Aisyah, Juliati Juliati, Nur Hasanah, Dedek Agustina https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://jurnal.unprimdn.ac.id/index.php/jukep/article/view/7192 Sun, 06 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000
