The use of social media with content on achievements, lifestyles, and successes of others on social media gives rise to a tendency to make social comparisons that cause psychological stress, insecurity, and uncertainty about the future, and have the potential to affect mental health conditions, especially in Gen-Z who are in the early adulthood phase who are vulnerable to experiencing quarter-life crisis. This study aims to determine the relationship between social media use and quarter-life crisis in Gen-Z students at Tribhuwana Tunggadewi University. The study used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population was 1,312 and the sample was 307 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire on social media use and quarter-life crisis that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed that most respondents had low social media use and moderate quarter-life crisis. Spearman rank test results indicate a significant relationship between social media use and quarter-life crisis (p = 0.000; r = -0.439), indicating a moderately significant relationship between social media use and quarter-life crisis in Gen-Z students. Higher social media use leads to lower levels of quarter-life crisis. Future research is recommended to examine other factors that may influence quarter-life crisis and employ different research designs to obtain more comprehensive results.

Iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women remains a global public health concern, with adherence to iron supplementation continuing to be suboptimal. Objective: To examine the correlation between adherence to iron tablet consumption and the occurrence of anemia among pregnant women in Sitiajo Village, Malang. Quantitative research with a cross-sectional design on 31 pregnant women in their third trimester using purposive sampling. Adherence was assessed using a Guttman scale questionnaire, while anemia status was determined through hemoglobin measurement. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The study found that 54.8% of respondents were non-adherent to iron tablet consumption, and 51.6% were diagnosed with anemia (Hb < 11 g/dL). A significant correlation was identified between adherence and hemoglobin levels (p-value = 0.001 < 0.05), with a moderate correlation strength (r = 0.548). There is a significant moderate correlation between adherence to iron tablet use and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Non-adherence substantially increases the risk of anemia during pregnancy.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in the elderly is a chronic health problem that often causes complications, one of which is impaired peripheral tissue perfusion that may lead to decreased mobility, risk of diabetic ulcers, and even amputation. Elderly individuals with comorbidities and genetic factors have a higher risk of peripheral circulation disorders. One of the non-pharmacological interventions that nurses can provide is diabetic foot exercise aimed at improving peripheral blood flow and neuromuscular function of the lower extremities. This scientific paper aims to analyze nursing care in depth in one elderly patient with Diabetes Mellitus, namely Mr. A, who had a history of chronic disease and family factors, with the nursing problem of ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion through the provision of foot exercises. The method used was a case study with a nursing care approach including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. The results showed improvement in Mr. A’s peripheral perfusion after diabetic foot exercises were performed for three sessions, with a duration of approximately 15–20 minutes in each session, indicated by reduced tingling complaints, improved acral condition, increased peripheral pulse strength, and increased Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) value. Diabetic foot exercise proved effective as an independent nursing intervention in improving peripheral tissue perfusion in elderly patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

Dental and oral health problems, particularly dental caries, remain prevalent among preschool children in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the effect of dental and oral health education on improving knowledge and skills in preventing dental caries. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design was employed. The subjects consisted of 23 children aged 3–5 years at Aulia Children Learning Center Pamulang. The intervention was conducted through interactive counseling and tooth brushing practice. Data were collected using simple questionnaires and observation sheets and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 56.52 to 86.96 and skills from 52.17 to 82.61. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dental and oral health education is effective in improving knowledge and skills in preventing dental caries among preschool children. Practice-based education is recommended as an early promotive and preventive strategy.
