Abstract

Urinary tract stones are a common disease that often occurs at the age of 30-50 years, and is more common in men. The treatment that is often carried out is extracoporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). This study aims to determine the characteristics of urinary tract stone patients undergoing ESWL. This research is descriptive and carried out in the ESWL room of the hospital. The sample was 60 urinary stone patients who underwent ESWL during April – May 2024, which was obtained by accidental sampling technique. The instrument used is the Questionnaire. The results of the study were obtained by the majority of respondents aged 36-56 years as much as 45%, the majority were male as much as 71.3%, the location of the majority urinary tract stones in the median renal stool was 58.3%. The majority size of the stone is 5-10 mm as much as 65%, the daily water consumption is the majority of 4 hours a day as much as 55%. For dietary issues, the majority consumed red meat protein 3-4 times a week as much as 60%, green vegetable consumption 1-2 times a week as much as 89.9%, daily salt consumption was mostly high as much as 75%, the majority rarely consumed soft drinks as much as 48.3%, and the majority consumed tea and coffee 3-4 times a week as much as 38.3%. Urinary tract stone disease is influenced by several factors including age, age over 30 years of age, decreased organ function, lifestyle such as physical activity, sitting time and also diet. In addition, less fluid intake also has an impact on stone formation, so men who are generally more physically active but lack fluid intake are more at risk.

Abstract

A decrease in quality of life among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often involves psychological and emotional problems such as confusion, sadness, anxiety, helplessness, fear of death, concerns about disclosing illness to family members, reduced self-esteem, disturbed body image, and loss of hope, which reflect a diminished sense of meaning in life. In this condition, strong family involvement and support are essential to help patients cope with the physical and emotional burden of chemotherapy and to improve their overall quality of life. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and the quality of life of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at Santa Elisabeth Hospital Medan in 2024. The research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. A total of 72 respondents were selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring family support and quality of life. The results showed that most respondents received good family support, with 37 respondents (51.4%), while the quality of life was mostly in the adequate category, with 34 respondents (47.2%). Statistical analysis using the Spearman rank correlation test showed a significance value of p = 0.002 (p < 0.05) and a correlation coefficient of r = 0.731, indicating a strong positive relationship between family support and quality of life. These findings confirm that better family support is associated with higher quality of life among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and highlight the importance of strengthening coping strategies and psychosocial support.
