Dyto Arisjulyanto — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Village Regulations are legal instruments that play an essential role in the administration of village governance as a manifestation of the principle of village autonomy. However, the position of Village Regulations within the hierarchy of national legislation has been a matter of debate, particularly following the enactment of Law No. 12 of 2011 on the Formation of Laws and Regulations, which does not include Village Regulations in the legal hierarchy. This study aims to analyze the status and legal force of Village Regulations within the national legal system and its implications for village autonomy. The research method employed is normative juridical with statutory and conceptual approaches. The analysis shows that although Village Regulations is not explicitly mentioned in the legislative hierarchy, it retains legal legitimacy under Law No. 6 of 2014 on Villages. Village Regulations has binding legal force within village jurisdictions as long as it does not conflict with higher-level regulations or the public interest. However, the ambiguity of Village Regulations’ position within the legal hierarchy creates potential normative conflicts and legal uncertainty. Therefore, clearer regulations are needed to explicitly define the position of Village Regulations within the national legal system to strengthen the effectiveness of village autonomy.

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Malaria is an infectious disease transmitted by infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. This disease is caused by the parasitic Plasmodium protozoa that enter the human bloodstream through mosquito bites. Among the various types of Plasmodium that can infect humans, Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium falciparum are the most dangerous because they can cause death or serious complications. This case study aims to evaluate the effect of warm compresses on hyperthermia in tropical malaria patients in class I & II rooms of Serui Regional Hospital, Papua on February 18, 2025. The author uses a descriptive research method by conducting observations and observations using a nursing process approach. The results of the study showed that the application of warm compress therapy to hyperthermia combined with pharmacological therapy was effective in overcoming hyperthermia in tropical malaria patients. There was a decrease in body temperature from 39.8 ? to 36.7 ? after implementation for 1 day. Monitoring vital signs and evaluating body temperature regularly is very important to assess the effective ness of the intervention. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the effect of warm compress as a non-pharmacological approach in the management of hyperthermia in tropical malaria patients to reduce body temperature and prevent further complications.

The acute pain issue was resolved on the first day, achieving the desired goals and outcome criteria. Nursing care provided to patient Nn. R.T successfully addressed the acute pain problem.

Implementation of Warm Compress on Mrs. A. R., a Malaria Patient with Hyperthermia, in Class I & II Ward of Serui General Hospital

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0800

. Introduction Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito. In 2022, WHO recorded 249 million cases of malaria globally. In Indonesia, cases reached 418,546 in 2023, with Papua contributing 92% of the total cases. Yapen Islands Regency recorded 21,238 cases in the first semester of 2023. One of the main symptoms of malaria is hyperthermia, which if not treated immediately, can cause serious complications such as febrile seizures, impaired consciousness, and organ damage. This therapy stimulates peripheral vasodilation, which helps reduce body temperature naturally. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation and effectiveness of warm compress therapy in malaria patients with hyperthermia. The method used is a descriptive case study. This study uses a descriptive case study approach with the aim of describing the implementation of warm compress therapy as a nursing intervention in malaria patients with hyperthermia problems. The results showed a significant decrease in body temperature and increased patient comfort. The suggestion from this study is the need for education to families and health cadres about this therapy procedure. In conclusion, warm compress therapy is a simple, safe, effective nursing solution that is suitable for use in areas with limited resources. Hyperthermia treatment must be carried out quickly and precisely. An effective and practical solution is the application of warm compress therapy to certain areas of the body (forehead, armpits, groin) using water at a temperature of 37–40°C.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the causative agent of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Utilization of Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) services by pregnant women is a crucial strategy to prevent vertical transmission of HIV. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with the utilization of PMTCT services among pregnant women attending antenatal care at Biak Kota Primary Health Center, Biak Numfor Regency. This study employed an observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 80 pregnant women who attended antenatal care at Biak Kota Primary Health Center were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis included univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test, and multivariate analysis to identify the most influential factors related to PMTCT service utilization.The results showed that educational level was not significantly associated with PMTCT service utilization (p = 0.168). In contrast, parity was significantly associated with PMTCT utilization (p = 0.007). Exposure to PMTCT-related information was also significantly associated with PMTCT service utilization (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, waiting time for services showed no significant association with PMTCT utilization (p = 0.092). Multivariate analysis revealed that exposure to PMTCT information was the most dominant factor associated with PMTCT service utilization. In conclusion, increased exposure to PMTCT information is associated with higher utilization of PMTCT services among pregnant women. Adequate dissemination of information enhances pregnant women’s knowledge and awareness of the benefits of PMTCT as an effective strategy for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

The World Health Organization reports that approximately 1.13 billion people worldwide are living with hypertension, meaning that one in three individuals globally is diagnosed with this condition. In 2022, the number of people with hypertension in Bandung reached 706,051 cases. Hypertension management can be carried out through various non-pharmacological therapies, including bay leaf decoction, celery juice, ginger decoction, date infused water, lemon and watermelon infused water, and cucumber infused water. Cucumber infused water contains high levels of magnesium, calcium, potassium, and flavonoids, which may help reduce blood pressure. This study aimed to determine the effect of cucumber infused water on blood pressure among patients with hypertension at Babakan Sari Community Health Center. The study employed a pre-experimental (quasi-experimental) design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 36 participants were included. The analysis showed a significant reduction in blood pressure after the administration of cucumber infused water, with a p-value less than ? = 0.05. A significant difference was observed in systolic blood pressure before and after the intervention (Z = ?5.324, p = 0.000), as well as in diastolic blood pressure (Z = ?5.362, p = 0.001). These results indicate that cucumber infused water has a significant effect on lowering blood pressure among pre-elderly patients with hypertension at Babakan Sari Community Health Center. This intervention is expected to be applied in daily life as an alternative non-pharmacological approach for hypertension management
