Contamination by black mold in healthcare facilities can increase patient safety incidents through respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and healthcare associated infections. Enviromental factors such as high humidity and poor air quality support black mold growth. This study aimed to evaluate environmental conditions that potentially trigger black mold proliferation and their implications for patient safety in the Emergency Department (ED). An observational method was conducted by measuring temperature, humidity, and air quality from Juli-September 2025. An observational method was conducted by measuring temperature, humidity, and air quality from Juli-September 2025. Temperature and humidity were measured using the Thermo Hygrometer HTC-2, while air quality was assessed using the LKC-1000 Particle Counter in accordance with the Ministry of Health Regulation No.40 of 2022 and the World Health Organization Air Quality Guidelines 2021. The result showed that the ED environment contained conditions conducive to black mold growth. Room humidity ranged from 66,9% to 78,3%, exceeding the recomended standard of 60%. The PM2,5 concentration in the nurse station reached 19,4 µg/m3 higher than the WHO standard of 15 µg/m3. The findings emphasized the needs for corrective measures including increasing fresh air supply, improving ventilation system with at least 6 ACH, and implementing MERV13 air filtration to reduce environmental risk associated with black mold. In conclusion, the presence of black mold can threaten patient safety; therefore, hospital environmental management interventions are necessary to suppress mold growth.

Preeclampsia is a dangerous condition for pregnant mothers that causes significant health problems worldwide. It is characterized by high blood pressure, with readings greater than 140/90 mmHg, occurring after 20 weeks of pregnancy. However, in reality, many pregnant mothers still do not know the methods to prevent preeclampsia. Studies show that the knowledge possessed by pregnant mothers influences their behavior; therefore, mothers with a lack of knowledge tend not to engage in preeclampsia prevention. This research aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of pregnant mothers about preeclampsia and their behavior in preventing preeclampsia in the Padangsari Health Center work area. This study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted in the Padangsari Health Center work area, Semarang City. The sample size consisted of 55 respondents, selected using a non-probability sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The research instrument was a questionnaire measuring the level of knowledge about preeclampsia and preeclampsia prevention behavior, developed by the researcher and tested for validity and reliability. The results indicate a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and preeclampsia prevention behavior. The statistical test using the Chi-Square test yielded a significance value (sig-p = 0.000) < α (0.05), so Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted.

Hypertension is a significant global health concern, contributing to high mortality rates and increased risks of cardiovascular disease. In Indonesia, hypertension prevalence has reached over 33% of the adult population. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as nature sound therapy and isometric handgrip exercises, have shown promise in managing hypertension by reducing systolic blood pressure. This study introduced Tool Nature Sound and Isometric Handgrip (Toonatric), an innovative tool combining nature sound therapy and isometric handgrip exercises. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with 66 elderly hypertensive patients divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group used Toonatric for 30 minutes daily over 5 days, while the control group continued standard care. Pre and post-intervention blood pressure measurements were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests due to non-normal data distribution. Results indicated a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure in the intervention group (p = 0.000), with an effect size of Cohen’s d = 0.48, demonstrating a moderate clinical effect. Toonatric has the potential as a complementary tool for managing hypertension in elderly, combining psychological and physical benefits. Further research should focus on long-term effects, broader populations, and usability improvements for clinical and home settings.
