Abstract

Fatigue and sleep disturbances are two common symptoms experienced by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. These conditions negatively impact quality of life and the effectiveness of treatment. One promising non-pharmacological approach is autogenic relaxation, a relaxation technique that combines self-suggestion, controlled breathing, and focused attention on bodily sensations to achieve physical and mental calmness. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of autogenic relaxation in improving sleep quality and reducing fatigue levels in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest and control group. A total of 30 patients were divided into two groups: intervention (n = 15) and control (n = 15). The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The intervention was conducted for two weeks, twice a day, using an audio guide. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and fatigue was assessed using the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS). The intervention group showed a decrease in mean PSQI scores from 11.2 to 8.1 (p = 0.017) and FAS scores from 34.5 to 28.3 (p = 0.031). Data analysis was performed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, followed by the Wilcoxon test for analysis within groups, and the Mann–Whitney test for between groups. The control group did not show any significant changes. These results indicate that autogenic relaxation stimulates a physiological relaxation response that contributes to improved sleep and reduced fatigue. Autogenic relaxation is an effective and applicable non-pharmacological supportive intervention for cancer patients during chemotherapy.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Dikdea as a Diabetes Mellitus risk screening tool for adolescents. The study employed a quantitative research design using a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with a pretest–posttest control group design. The results showed that the intervention group experienced significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and healthy behaviors related to Diabetes Mellitus prevention compared to the control group, with significant differences in knowledge (p=0.021), attitudes (p=0.017), and healthy behaviors (p=0.013). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis also showed that Dikdea had good diagnostic ability (AUC=0.87; sensitivity 84.2%; specificity 79.5%). In conclusion, Dikdea is an effective non-invasive screening tool for identifying the risk of Diabetes Mellitus among adolescents and has the potential to be implemented as a school-based screening strategy to support the early detection and prevention of Diabetes Mellitus.   Keywords: Adolescents, Diabetes Mellitus, Early Detection, Risk Screening
