Dengue fever (DHF), one of the most concerning health problems in Indonesia.Individual knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to DHF are important factors that can influence the occurrence of DHF cases. Meanwhile, one of the determinants contributing to determining knowledge, attitudes, and practices is the level of educationand relationship these factors were not tested yet in Banda Aceh.Therefore, this studyfocusedon determining the relationship between mothers' education level and knowledge, attitudes, and practices of DHF prevention in Banda Aceh.This research was a descriptive correlative study with a cross-sectional approach involving 228 mothers living in villages with a high risk of DHF, selected using a proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire containing 62 statements to measure knowledge, attitudes, and practices of DHF prevention, then analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test.The data analysis showed a relationship between the mother's education level and knowledge (p-value 0.00) about DHF and DHF prevention practices (p-value 0.033). Still, there was no relationship between the mother's education level and attitude (p-value 0.754) against DHF in Banda Aceh. This study indicates that maternal education factors need to be considered in planning community nursing interventions to increase knowledge and practice of dengue preventionthat is adjusted to the level of education of mothers in the community.

Introduction: Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is one of the causes of nutritional disorders among children. These conditions may interfere with nutritional intake in children, which calls for community health nursing care. This community service aims to provide community nursing care for mothers who have toddlers with ARFID problems in a rural area in Aceh Province. Methods: This community service involved eight mothers with toddlers suffering from ARFID. The health education sessions, with a booklet, were performed to improve mothers’ ability to care for toddlers with ARFID. The family’s ability to manage eating disorders was measured using a self-reported questionnaire before and after the health education session. Results: All mothers' abilities increased after being given health education, as indicated by the mean pre-test (31.63) and the mean post-test (37.25) measuring by a questionnaire of the family’s ability to manage eating disorders. The result emphasized that health education interventions can improve mothers' ability to deal with eating problems in children. Conclusion: Health education using booklets as media, as part of community health nursing care, positively impacts mothers’ ability to care for toddlers with ARFID. Therefore, the sustainability of such intervention should be considered to prevent stunting among children, especially toddlers with ARFID. KEYWORDS eating disorders; health education; mothers’ ability.
Background/Objectives: There is a rising global demand to educate independent and reflective nurses capable of addressing the evolving needs of healthcare systems and diverse populations. The Indonesian Nursing Act solidifies the professional status of nurses, although challenges persist including discrepancies between practice and educational standards. There is a need to increase the competence of Indonesian nurse educators and their ability to facilitate learning that can strengthen the nursing programs’ quality and improve the nurses’ ability to address various health issues in the population. The aim of the study was to describe the nurse educators’ experiences with developing student-active methods in nursing education in Indonesia. Methods: This study is part of an Erasmus+ project: Capacity Building in Nursing Education in Indonesia (CABNEI). A three-year educational program for nursing educators in Indonesia was developed. The current study used a qualitative, descriptive design with a questionnaire containing four open-ended questions focusing on the educators’ experiences with developing student-active methods and conditions affecting this process. Data were collected between January and November 2022 and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: A total of 32 educators from two universities and two nursing schools in Indonesia participated. The analysis revealed the theme “A change of pedagogical approaches to nursing students’ learning” with three categories: “Setting the stage for pedagogical development in the nursing education”, “From correction to reflection”, and “Factors affecting the educators’ learning process”. Conclusions: The nursing educators’ experiences with developing student-active methods in Indonesia were positive. They reported incorporating additional pedagogical tools into their teaching methods and nursing programs. Management is vital in facilitating active-learning strategies. It is important to foster collaborative opportunities for educators and enhance their pedagogical skills to meet the healthcare system’s evolving needs and society’s demands for sustainable nursing expertise.
