Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease caused by the body's inability to absorb carbohydrates, fats and proteins, resulting in high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). DM is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide in 2022. One of the complications of DM is damage to the nervous system (neuropathy). Various actions are taken to prevent and control the occurrence of diabetic neuropathy. The non-pharmacological therapy given is massage to increase the sensation of protection in the feet. The massage therapy that can be applied is the effleurage massage technique, which aims to relax muscles and to improve blood circulation, reduce pain, reduce swelling and so on. This study aims to conduct an effleurage massage therapy intervention to increase the sensation of foot protection in DM patients. This study was conducted on September 6-8, 2024. This study conducted a 10g monofilament test to examine the sensation of foot protection. On the first day, the sensation of foot protection with a score of 5, after doing effleurage massage therapy for 3 days the score increased to 7. This shows that effleurage massage therapy has an effect on increasing the sensation of foot protection in DM patients. It is expected that the family can work together with the client to help the client to do effleurage massage therapy independently.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that occurs because the body does not have enough insulin hormone due to disorders in insulin secretion or insulin hormone that does not work properly or both. DM can cause various impacts, ranging from mild problems to serious life-threatening complications. Some of the main impacts of DM include damage to blood vessels, nerves, eyes, kidneys, and cardiovascular problems such as heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. One of the non-pharmacological therapies to overcome DM is Benson relaxation therapy. The purpose of the study was to provide nursing care through the provision of Benson relaxation therapy to reduce blood glucose levels in DM patients. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The sample in this study was Mrs. S. The study was conducted on May 27-31, 2024. Therapy was carried out for 3 consecutive days. Blood sugar measurements on the first day were 290 mg/dL, blood sugar measurements on the third day after being given the Benson relaxation technique were 212 mg/dL. The results of the study showed a decrease in blood glucose levels of 18 mg/dL. It is hoped that nurses can carry out Benson relaxation therapy to reduce blood glucose levels in patients with DM.

Abstract

Aims: Diabetes mellitus is a major global public health concern, particularly in Indonesia. Eating behavior, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), plays a crucial role in the prevention of diabetes. This study aimed to assess high school students’ knowledge of T2DM, attitudes toward healthy eating, and dietary practices related to diabetes prevention, as well as to examine the correlations among these variables. Methods: The study was conducted from May to October 2024 in three sub-districts of Kampar Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia. A total of 207 high school students were recruited through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a validated knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) questionnaire comprising four sections: sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge about T2DM, attitudes toward healthy eating, and dietary practices. Univariate analysis was conducted to describe the distribution of KAP levels, and Spearman’s rank-order correlation was used to examine the relationships among KAP scores. Results: Most senior high school students (80.2%) demonstrated a moderate overall KAP level. Specifically, 49.3% had moderate knowledge of T2DM, 81.2% exhibited a neutral attitude toward healthy eating, and 59.9% reported moderate dietary practices. Spearman’s rank correlation analysis revealed a weak but statistically significant positive correlation between knowledge and attitude (ρ=0.145, p=0.037), and between knowledge and practice (ρ=0.137, p=0.048). A moderate-to-strong positive correlation was found between attitude and practice (ρ=0.530, p < 0.001), indicating a stronger association between these two variables. Conclusion: The findings indicate that students’ knowledge of T2DM is positively associated with both their attitudes toward healthy eating and their dietary practices, although the strength of these correlations is weak. In contrast, a moderate to strong positive correlation was observed between attitude and practice, suggesting that students with more positive attitudes toward healthy eating were more likely to engage in desirable dietary behaviors.
