Abstract

Introduction: Muscle pain is a common condition that affects individuals of various ages due to physical strain, fatigue, or improper posture. Conventional balms often rely on synthetic chemical agents that may cause irritation or excessive heat sensation. Therefore, developing a natural-based topical formulation with dual functions pain reduction and body relaxation has gained growing attention. Lemongrass oil (Cymbopogon citratus) contains active compounds such as citral, geraniol, and limonene, known for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and aromatherapeutic properties. This study aimed to innovate an aromatherapy balm using lemongrass essential oil to provide both pain relief and a relaxing effect on the body. Methods: This experimental laboratory study employed a post-test-only design. The balm was formulated with varying concentrations of lemongrass oil (5%, 10%, and 15%), beeswax, vaseline, coconut oil, and menthol. The formulations underwent organoleptic evaluation, skin irritation testing, and effectiveness assessment on mild muscle pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Ten respondents with muscle discomfort applied the balm twice daily for three days. Data were analyzed descriptively to compare the physical stability, acceptability, and pain reduction effectiveness of each concentration. Results: All formulations demonstrated good physical stability, showing no color or odor alteration after 14 days of storage. Organoleptic evaluation revealed that the 10% lemongrass oil concentration was the most preferred, exhibiting a pleasant aroma and smooth texture. Effectiveness testing indicated that the 10% balm reduced pain intensity by an average of 40%, outperforming the 5% (25%) and 15% (38%) formulations. No cases of skin irritation were reported. Respondents also reported a sense of calmness and relaxation attributed to the aromatherapeutic properties of lemongrass. Conclusion: The aromatherapy balm containing 10% lemongrass oil provides optimal pain relief and relaxation effects without adverse skin reactions. This innovation offers a promising alternative to conventional synthetic balms, aligning with the growing demand for safe, natural, and eco-friendly complementary therapies.

Abstract

Many patients with diabetes mellitus still exhibit low adherence to long-term treatment. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between knowledge and attitude with treatment adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This research employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of patients receiving outpatient care at Nur Ichsan Clinic, Makassar City, from January to April 2025. A total of 74 respondents were selected using accidental sampling. Research instruments included the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24), Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) attitude scale, and the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) for treatment adherence. Each instrument had been validated in Indonesian with Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.82 (DKQ), 0.79 (DSME), and 0.85 (DSMQ), indicating good internal consistency. Knowledge, attitude, and compliance scores were categorized as good, fair, or poor based on mean cut-off points obtained from the total score distribution, as the data were normally distributed according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (p = 0.119). Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test, as the data met the assumptions of normality. The results showed that most patients had good levels of knowledge (75.7%), positive attitudes (75.7%), and high treatment adherence (75.7%). There was a significant positive correlation between knowledge and treatment adherence (r = 0.614, p < 0.001) and between attitude and treatment adherence (r = 0.587, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that patients with higher knowledge and more positive attitudes are more likely to adhere to treatment recommendations. In conclusion, knowledge and attitude are strongly correlated with treatment adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is recommended that health education programs be strengthened through structured diabetes self-management interventions focusing on knowledge enhancement and attitude change to improve long-term adherence

Abstract

Nursing-led interventions play a critical role in strengthening primary health care (PHC) delivery; however, empirical evidence on their policy-level impact remains fragmented and under-theorized. This review synthesizes quantitative and qualitative findings to evaluate how nursing-driven strategies influence PHC policy implementation outcomes across diverse health system contexts. A systematic search across five major databases and grey literature sources identified eligible studies assessing the effectiveness, feasibility, and contextual determinants of nursing-led interventions using established methodological frameworks. Quantitative analyses demonstrated that these interventions were associated with enhanced measurable policy compliance, improved continuity of care indicators, and greater alignment with PHC implementation targets. Qualitative synthesis further highlighted perceived patient empowerment, the contextual barriers faced by nurses, and the organizational enablers that shape intervention effectiveness. This review provides an integrative synthesis linking nursing-led interventions to PHC policy adherence, offering a novel framework for evaluating community-based policy outcomes. Findings underscore the importance of context-sensitive implementation and highlight opportunities for strengthening PHC systems through nursing leadership.
