Introduction: Herbal extracts are often administered to cigarette smokers to prevent excessive free radicals. These include Brassica oleracea var. Italica, known to contain high antioxidant flavonoids and selenium micronutrients. Therefore, this study aims to determine the efficacy of Brassica oleracea var extract. italica in reducing the free radicals and inflammation present in experimental animals exposed to cigarette smoke. Design and Methods: This research was conducted based on an experimental method using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) for 21 days. The animals used were divided into six groups (negative control, positive control, and four treatments). Particularly, the positive control and treatment groups were exposed to cigarette smoke for 2 minutes, twice a day, at 50 PPM CO levels. The treatment groups were administered the extract at different doses (0.5 ml; 0.75 ml; 1 ml; 1.25 ml), before assessing the blood level of malondialdehyde and C-Reactive Protein. Result: The results showed the tendency for exposure to smoke to increase the number of free radicals and stimulate inflammation responses in the body (P<0,05). In addition, a strong correlation between variables was established (p=0.000; r=0.713). Conclusions: Broccoli extracts (Brassica oleracea L. var. Italica) administration has the potential to cause a decline in the two aspects, including free radicals and inflammation responses resulting from exposure to cigarette smoke.

Introduction: The caregivers of people with schizophrenia have problems that include high family, burden and low quality of life at home. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of nursing psychoeducation on family, burdens and quality of life in caregivers of schizophrenia patients in the community. Design and Methods: This study used a pre-test and post-test group control design and repeated measurement with a total of 100 respondents. The treatment group was given weekly nursing psychoeducation for seven sessions. Also, the general linear model (GLM) was used to analyze the result. Results: This study showed that before the intervention of nursing psychoeducation, the average family burden was 49,02 and 46.28 in the treatment and control groups, respectively. This decreased to 38.24 and 37.56 in the first and fourth weeks of posttreatment. Meanwhile, the control group was 44.86 in the first week and 45.62 in the fourth. The psychoeducation had an effect on decreasing the family burden with a p value < 0.001. Moreover, this study showed that before the intervention of nursing psychoeducation, the average caregiver quality of life was 75,72 and 74.24 in the treatment. After treatment, it increased to 91.22 in the first week after intervention and 92.54 in the fourth week of post-intervention. Therefore, the intervention effectively improved the caregiver quality of life with p < 0.001 Conclusions: Nursing psychoeducation can effectively reduce family burdens and improve the quality of life for caregivers.

Introduction: In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (IHCA) is a frequent occurrence that necessitates prompt and appropriate assistance to improve survival rates. Nurses in public care rooms and outpatients are expected to be first responders to IHCA until an activated hospital code blue team arrives. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the implementation of code blue response by nurses in outpatient and hospital inpatient rooms in Malang. Design and Methods: This is a quantitative study that uses observational methods with a cross-sectional approach comprising of 109 inpatient and outpatient care room nurses from 9 hospitals in Malang. The implementation of code blue was measured by a simulated case of adult cardiac arrest in a hospital inpatient room. Results: The nurses involved were 67.0% female, where the majority have a D3 education qualification (57.7%), with more than ten years working experience (45%). Furthermore, 83.5% of nurses work in regular care rooms and 16.5% come from outpatient rooms. The results showed that the implementation of code blue by nurses in regular care and inpatient rooms was 66.7% and 65.9%, respectively in the insufficient categories. In addition, the Mann-Whitney U test obtained a p-value of 0.929. Conclusions: In conclusion, there was no significant difference in the implementation of code blue that occurred in the inpatient and outpatient rooms. Further studies were recommended to observe code blue events directly and take samples with balanced proportions.

Introduction: The caring behavior of nurses affects their working performance and the health care quality received by patients. The adherence to ethical principles by nurses is also known to increase this factor. However, no previous studies have been conducted on how ethical principles affect the caring behaviors of nurses. Hence, this study aims to investigate the association between nursing ethics and other demographic characteristics and their caring behavior in Indonesian hospitals. Design and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted with 389 nurses working in Indonesian hospitals. Furthermore, data were collected using questionnaires, which included demographic characteristics, ethical principles-based attitudes, and caring behavior. The analysis of the data was performed using descriptive (M, SD) and inferential statistics (Chi-square, Spearman’s rank correlation, Fisher’s exact test, and multiple logistic regression) with α= 0.05. Results: According to this study, the caring behavior of nurses was associated with gender (p=0.030) and nursing ethical principles, such as veracity (p=0.025), non-maleficence (p=0.007), beneficence (p<0.000), and fidelity (p<0.000). Fidelity was also revealed as the most influential ethical principle on nurses’ caring behavior, with a value of Exp(B)= 3.446. This indicates that nurses, who had demonstrated good fidelity, cared three times more than those who lacked this quality. Conclusions: Nurses with good ethical principles deliver suitable caring behavior. Hence, applying the right ethics to a patient would result in a great caring attitude, as the principle of ethical behavior is compassion and respectful conduct towards patients.

Introduction: One impact on People With Mental Disorders (PSMD) is decreased productivity. As the closest people, families are expected to support PSMD to be productive in the community. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the correlation between family support and the work productivity of people with mental disorders. Design and Methods: This observational analytical study with a Cross-Sectional approach was conducted in the working area of the Bantur Community Health Center. Purposive sampling was used to obtain 107 samples. Data on family support were collected using a questionnaire and tested for validity, while the Endicott Work Productivity Scale (EWPS) questionnaire was used to measure PSMD work productivity. Results: The results showed a significant correlation between family support and PSMD work productivity, p = 0.028. The correlation was negative, meaning lower PSMD work productivity implied higher family support. Furthermore,emotional support was the most form of support provided by family members to PSMD. Work productivity is generally low, with PSMD work attitudes in the high category only in sub-variables. Conclusions: Family support is needed for people with mental disorders to be productive. Future studies should examine other factors that affect PSMD work productivity. Additionally, health services should innovate to create work programs that stimulate PSMD's potential and ability.

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is the simplest and healthiest infant feeding method that, directly or by extraction, uses only breast milk with the exception to drops or syrups containing vitamins, mineral supplements or medicines. This practice helpprevents malnutrition among toddlers and provide essential dietary values for subsequent growth and development, especially in the first 6 months. However, Mataram has the lowest coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in West Nusa Tenggara province in 2018. This exposure increased by 70.30% from 2017-2018, but has not achieved the 80% national target. The low coverage was caused by mothers’ inadequate knowledge. Therefore, the present research aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of booklets as a promotional medium for exclusive breastfeeding towards increasing the knowledge of breastfeeding mothers. Design and Methods: The research method involved the conduction of pre- and post tests (before and after the booklet was distributed) on 50 respondents by voluntary sampling. This sampling refers to a probability technique that provides equal opportunities for each population element selected as a member of the sample, while the participants were chosen using consecutive sampling technique Results: The results showed the average values of the pre- and post- tests at 72 and 77, respectively. Conclusions: Therefore, it is concluded that the booklet is effective in increasing mothers' knowledge on exclusive breastfeeding.
