Academic stress is stress related to educational activities. The cause of academic stress is the inability of individuals to make adjustments to academic demands. There are factors influence sleep quality such as academic stress. This study aimed at identifying the relationship between academic stress and sleep quality among nursing students at Udayana University. This was a quantitative correlative study using a cross-sectional design. The research sample in this study was 163 respondents who were selected by stratified random sampling technique. The independent variable of this study is academic stress while the dependent variable is sleep quality. The data were collected by the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA) dan Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires. The results showed 55 students (33,7%) had very high academic stress and 118 students (72,4%) had poor sleep quality. Data were analyzed using Spearman Rank correlation test. The result of the correlation test showed that there was a relationship between academic stress and sleep quality with a weak correlation and the direction of the correlation was positive (r = 0,236; p = 0,002), which means the higher the academic stress, the worse the sleep quality.
Background/Objectives: Mother's Mosquito Eradication (ME) behavior plays important role on ME in Indonesia. Dengue Chit-Chat (DCC) is a text-messaging based intervention that can be used to improve ME. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of DCC on the mother's ME behavior in Bali. Methods/Statistical analysis: This study was a quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test with control group design and cluster sampling technique. Sixty-seven participants were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was given a three weeks message program that was delivered four times a week. Findings: Statistical analyses showed no significant differences in knowledge (p=0.064) and container index score (p=0.051), but showed significant differences in attitude (p<0.001) and practice (p<0.001) before and after the intervention. Improvements/Applications: Based on these results, we conclude that DCC can be used to increase attitude and practice of ME. However, study with a longer intervention duration may be needed to explore the behavioral effect of text-messaging intervention on ME.
Low back pain (LBP) is a subjective sensation characterized by a major symptom of pain in the lower spine region. One of the basic causes is the stress inflicted on the inter-vertebral disk due to poor posture, so that the lumbar spine of the lumbar lordosis has too much strain on the posterior element. These complaints usually occur in workers due to incorrect posture or work position that does not meet the ergonomic principles of one of the traditional weavingworker. Exercise has been widely developed to cope with LBP such as stretching and muscle strengthening. William's flexion exercise (WFE) is an exercise aimed at stretching the posterior muscles and strengthening the abdominal muscles so that the tendon and spongy muscles are expected to relax. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of WFE on LBP on traditional weaving workers. This study is a pre-experimental study (One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design). The sample consists of 28 respondents selected by using Purposive Sampling technique. Data collected by using questionnaires for respondent characteristics and Numeric Rating Scale for measuring pain scale before and after intervention. The result of the research before intervention was 75% of respondents had moderate pain, while after intervention 85.7% of respondents had mild pain. Based on the Wilcoxon test results obtained p = 0.000 which means there is the influence of WFE on LBP on traditional weavingworker. Based on the above research, it is suggested to health workers teach WFE in order to reduce LBP on traditional weavingworkers.

Kegiatan wisata di kolam renang beresiko mengalami kecelakaan tenggelam yang membutuhkan pertolongan berupa bantuan hidup dasar (BHD) oleh pekerja wisata air. Namun tidak semua pekerja mengetahui teknik pemberian BHD, sehingga edukasi pertolongan BHD sangat penting dilakukan pada para pekerja untuk meningkatkan kesiapan melakukan pertolongan pada korban tenggelam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian edukasi BHD terhadap kesiapan pertolongan tenggelam pada pekerja di objek wisata air Keramas Park. Jenis penelitian ini adalah pre-experiment design dengan rancangan one group pre-test and post-test yang melibatkan 23 responden yang diambil dengan teknik total sampling. Intervensi yang diberikan berupa edukasi BHD secara blended yaitu dengan metode daring yang dilakukan dengan memberikan materi (power point materi, modul pembelajaran, dan stantar operasional praktik melalui WhatsApp grup, kemudian dilanjutkan edukasi luring dengan melakukan metode cerama dan simulasi BHD menggunakan manekin. Responden diberi kesempatan untuk melakukan praktik BHD. Data kesiapan diukur menggunakan kuesioner yang diberikan sebelum dan sesudah edukasi BHD. Hasil analisis data deskriptif menunjukkan rata-rata umur responden adalah 32 tahun dengan lama bekerja 2,91tahun dan dengan nilai median pre test sebesar 37,00 dan nilai post test sebesar 60,00. Analisis bivariat menggunakan uji Wilcoxon dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95% (?=0,05) didapatkan nilai signifikansi 0,000. Dapat disimpulkan edukasi BHD dapat meningkatkan kesiapan pertolongan tenggelam pada pekerja di wisata air Keramas Park. Peneliti merekomendasikan untuk melakukan edukasi BHD secara berkala untuk pekerja di wisata air Keramas Park. Kata Kunci: Edukasi, Bantuan Hidup Dasar (BHD), Kecelakaan Tenggelam, Kesiapan
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks white blood cells (lymphocytes) that cause the decline of human immune. High risk groups such as Female Sex Workers (FSWs) tend not to access health services because of the decrimination they face in society. Health promotion is still an important strategy in increasing self-awareness of FSWs to perform Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) examination, one of them is through the utilization of cellular phone technology. This study aims to determine the effect of cell phone Short Message Service (SMS) as a media health education about HIV and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) to health seeking behavior of FSWs. Pre-experimental design one group pre-test pos-ttest design was conducted at 33 FSWs at Terminal Pesiapan, Tabanan District. The results of pre-test and post-test showed an influence on behavior (knowledge, attitude and action) after SMS based health promotion intervention (p <0,05), knowledge (p = 0,039), attitude (p = 0,003), and action (p = 0,000). After the intervention there was an increase in behavior that is on knowledge 30,3%, 36,4% attitude and 63,6% action. Mobile phone SMS media proves to be effective in conveying health information so as to raise awareness of FSWs in conducting HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). An innovative, short, easy-to-understand message on HIV and AIDS should be provided with simple language and regular use of cellular-based information technology by healthcare workers.
