Abstract

Diabetic ulcers are the most common complication in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetic ulcers are full-thickness wounds that frequently occur in specific parts of the body, particularly in the lower extremities. These wounds are a significant concern because they can lead to severe complications, including infections, amputations, and even reduced quality of life if not managed properly. Patients with diabetic ulcers require not only medical attention but also substantial support from their families in daily care and management. The family plays a crucial role in providing therapeutic health care to members suffering from diabetic ulcers. This includes ensuring proper wound care, helping patients adhere to prescribed treatment regimens, monitoring blood glucose levels, and supporting lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet and regular physical activity. However, the extent to which families can perform these roles effectively depends on their knowledge and caregiving abilities. The purpose of this study is to assess the knowledge and abilities of families in caring for family members with diabetic ulcers. This research is a quantitative descriptive study conducted with a sample of 37 respondents, selected using a total sampling technique. The study utilized a questionnaire that had been rigorously tested for validity and reliability to ensure the accuracy of the findings. The results of this study indicate that while the majority of families (59.5%) possess good knowledge about diabetic ulcers and their care, a significant proportion (64.9%) lack the ability to effectively care for family members with this condition. These findings highlight the need for targeted education and training programs to enhance the caregiving skills of families, enabling them to provide better support and improve outcomes for patients with diabetic ulcers.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the long-term impact of stunting in childhood on cognitive development and educational attainment through a meta-analysis approach. Stunting, which is indicated by stunted linear growth due to chronic malnutrition, has long been associated with various negative consequences on health and social aspects. By systematically examining the results of quantitative studies from various countries and socio-economic contexts, this study identified a consistent pattern of association between stunting in early life and decline in cognitive function and academic achievement in adolescence and adulthood. Data were obtained from 25 studies that met the inclusion criteria published in the 2015 to 2024 range, and were analyzed using fixed-effect and randomized effects models with the help of the JASP application. The results of the meta-analysis showed that children who experienced stunting had an effect on cognitive and education with a pooled effect size value (Hedges' g = 1.10 t= 9.103; p < 0.001) with a high effect size category. These findings confirm that stunting not only has an impact on short-term physical conditions, but also has significant consequences for human resource development in the long term. Therefore, comprehensive nutrition and education interventions in early life are essential to break the chain of loss due to stunting.
