Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance or decreased insulin secretion. Herbal complementary therapies are increasingly in demand as an alternative to managing blood sugar levels. However, studies of its effectiveness as a single therapy in the elderly have not been widely researched. Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of moringa leaf tea as an antihyperglycemic alternative in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: A case report study conducted on one participant to evaluate the effect of moringa leaf tea on fasting blood sugar levels in elderly people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). This approach was chosen to document individual responses to herbal interventions in actual clinical conditions and provide an in-depth picture of changes in blood sugar levels after intervention. The patient in this study was a 61-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with type 2 DM for one year and was not taking antihyperglycemic drugs. The participant had a history of non-compliance with pharmacological therapy due to previously felt side effects. Results: Before the intervention, the patient reported experiencing typical symptoms of hyperglycemia, such as frequent thirst, increased urination frequency especially at night, and fatigue that interfered with daily activities. Blood sugar levels were measured before the intervention, and were found to be 256 mg/dL, indicating hyperglycemia. After consuming moringa leaf tea 3 times a day for three consecutive days, blood sugar levels decreased and on the 3rd day it was 220 mg/dL. In addition, the patient also reported improvements in clinical symptoms, such as reduced thirst, increased urination frequency especially at night, and increased energy. Conclusion: Consumption of Moringa leaf tea can lower blood sugar levels in elderly people with type 2 diabetes mellitus without antidiabetic drugs. In addition, improvements in clinical symptoms such as reduced thirst, urination frequency, and increased energy were also observed. Suggestion: Further studies are needed with larger samples and longer intervention periods to evaluate its long-term efficacy and safety. In addition, this study can explore more deeply the molecular mechanisms associated with the antihyperglycemic effects of Moringa leaves and its potential in natural therapy-based diabetes management strategies.

Abstract

Background: The increasing number of elderly service users in nursing homes and the small number of geriatric specialist nurses have made nurses who work in nursing homes vulnerable to burnout. Therefore, it's crucial to develop methods to anticipate and overcome burnout in geriatric nurses, particularly through non-pharmacological approaches. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of sports massage and acupressure on lactic acid levels, physical and psychological fatigue, and nurse performance. Method: A quantitative research was carried out with a quasi-experimental approach. The study population comprised nurses working at the Tresna Wredha Social Institution (TWSI). The sample included 30 participants, selected through a total sampling technique, and divided into three groups. The collected data was analyzed using ANOVA. Results: A total of 30 nurses participated in the study. After receiving the intervention, the sports massage group showed the lowest lactic acid levels at 2.7 mmol/L, the lowest physical fatigue with an average value of 25.0, and the highest performance score with an average value of 135.0. The results of statistical calculations indicate a relationship between sports massage and acupressure with outcomes (lactic acid levels, physical and psychological fatigue, and nurse performance) with a p-value of less than 0.05. Additionally, the Pairwise Comparison test found that sports massage is more effective than acupressure in reducing lactic acid levels and physical and psychological fatigue. Conclusion: The study shows that sports massage and acupressure significantly decrease lactic acid levels and physical/psychological fatigue, and can improve the performance of nurses. Furthermore, sports massage is more effective than acupressure in achieving these outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Dysmenorrhea, or pain during menstruation, affects a high percentage of women of reproductive age. It can disrupt learning activities at school, cause a lack of concentration, and lead to frequent absences, ultimately decreasing the quality of life for young women. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of abdominal stretching, yoga, and dysmenorrhea exercises on prostaglandin levels and pain in school-age adolescents. Method: A quasi-experimental study with an experimental laboratory design was used, with pretest and posttest control groups. The sampling technique used was probability sampling with simple random sampling of 32 female students divided into four groups, with three groups receiving abdominal stretching, yoga therapy, and dysmenorrhea exercises, respectively, and one group serving as the control group. Data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The average prostaglandin levels after treatment were highest in the abdominal stretching group at 31.7 pg/mL and lowest in the dysmenorrhea group at 19.0 pg/mL. The difference in prostaglandin levels was highest in the dysmenorrhea exercise group at 42.5 pg/mL and lowest in the control group at 14.4 pg/mL. Most participants who experienced moderate pain before and after the intervention generally complained of mild pain. Conclusion: The study found a significant effect of abdominal stretching therapy, yoga therapy, and dysmenorrhea exercises on prostaglandin levels and pain. Dysmenorrhea exercises were found to be the most effective therapy in reducing prostaglandin levels and dysmenorrhea pain, compared to abdominal stretching and yoga therapy.

Abstract

The referral quality will affect the outcome of referred patients. The quality of emergency referrals from the Public Health Center (PHC) in Banten Province has not been examined. This study aims to analyze the quality of emergency referrals from PHC and the factors that influence it. Observational analytics with a retrospective approach to a PHC in Banten Province, Indonesia. The reference data for March-May 2023 is taken consecutively. Data on the demographics of referrers and referral cases are recorded. The quality of referrals is analyzed using national personal referral standards. A total of 52 referral cases were involved in the study. Referrals were made by nurses with an average age of 28.2 years with a range of 23-43 years, men (38/73.1%), and with diploma education (30/57.7%). Most of the referring nurses have a valid Basic Life Support (BLS) certificate (46/88.5), are non-civil servants, and work for an average of 3.3 years. Most of the referred cases are surgical (28/53.8) and urgency cases (32/61.5). Forty-four referral cases (84.6%) did not meet national referral standards. The referring nurse's educational background and the urgency of the case had a significant relationship with the quality of referrals with p values < α values of 0.05 (0.000 and 0.000 respectively). There was no significant relationship between referral quality and patient/family satisfaction. Conclusion: Most PHC's emergency referrals to hospital emergency departments (ED) have not complied with national standards. There was a significant relationship between the education of the referring nurse and the level of urgency of the case with the quality of PHC referrals. There is no relationship between referral quality and patient/family satisfaction. National technical guidelines for individual referrals for emergency cases are needed.

Abstract

Objective: Women undergo various physiological and psychological changes during the reproductive stage, particularly during the menstrual cycle. Premenstrual symptoms, or dysmenorrhea, are the terms used to describe this. Menstrual pain is another term for dysmenorrhea, and primary dysmenorrhea often starts six months following menarche. Premenstrual symptoms are a complicated collection of symptoms that hurt a student's quality of life in the long run and their ability to succeed in school, participate in social activities, and maintain family relationships. Problems with both physical and mental health can benefit from yoga. Method: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of yoga activities in relieving pain in primary dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome. In this investigation, a review of the literature was used. Six journal databases were searched for articles. Seven articles satisfied the requirements for inclusion. Result: The review's findings indicate that yoga practice is a viable substitute and is suggested as a simple, accessible, and non-invasive strategy for analgesia in primary dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome. Novelty: This study shows the effectiveness of yoga exercises in reducing pain in primary dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome for adolescents, especially women.

Abstract

Objective: Workers often ignore the various aspects that can affect their work, health, and comfort caused by physical and mental fatigue. Hospital nurse fatigue is associated with lower nurse satisfaction, higher turnover, and poor patient outcomes. Fatigue is a common problem for nurses, with 82% of nurses experiencing mild to severe physical fatigue. There are many ways to combat fatigue symptoms and speed recovery after exercise, including massage techniques. It is believed that sports massage supplies oxygen to the muscles. As it circulates in the blood, lactic acid is converted to pyruvic acid, generating ATP, and activating muscle metabolism. This study aims to identify appropriate sports massage therapy to treat caregiver fatigue issues. Method: A literature review was used in this study. Article searches were performed in his six journal databases: PubMed, JSTOR, Taylor, Willey Online, Sage, and Google Scholar. Eight articles that met the inclusion criteria were found. Result: The results of this review indicate that sports massage techniques can be used as an alternative to reduce caregiver fatigue when providing community health services. Novelty: This study shows the effectiveness of sports massage therapy in overcoming and treating caregiver fatigue issues.
