Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that can lead to serious complications, one of which is diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Inadequate foot care increases the risk of ulcer development; therefore, its association needs to be examined scientifically. This study aimed to analyze the association between foot care and the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus. A correlational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The sample consisted of 60 patients with diabetes mellitus selected using purposive sampling. Foot care data were collected using the Nottingham Assessment of Functional Footcare (NAFF) questionnaire, while the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers was assessed through an observation checklist. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test. The results demonstrated a statistically significant association between foot care and the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers (p = 0.008 < α = 0.05). Patients with poor foot care tended to experience diabetic foot ulcers with greater severity. In conclusion, appropriate foot care plays an important role in the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers. Therefore, health education and the establishment of routine foot care practices should be strengthened to reduce the risk of complications and improve the quality of life of patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases with a high prevalence among the elderly in Indonesia. Efforts to control blood pressure through the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet therapy are essential; however, various factors are believed to influence its effectiveness at the primary healthcare level. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with DASH diet therapy in blood pressure control among the elderly at the Cempaka Public Health Center, Banjarmasin. This study employed a cross-sectional design with a sample of 188 elderly patients with hypertension selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering age, sex, educational level, and dietary adherence, as well as data on the frequency of healthcare visits obtained from patients’ medical records. Blood pressure measurements were conducted after the implementation of the DASH diet for 30 days. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed significant associations between age (p = 0.000), sex (p = 0.000), educational level (p = 0.000), dietary adherence (p = 0.000), and frequency of healthcare visits (p = 0.000) with DASH diet therapy in blood pressure control. Age, sex, educational level, dietary adherence, and frequency of healthcare visits significantly influenced the success of DASH diet therapy.

Abstract

Conceptual difficulties in fundamental physics, particularly basic kinematics, represent a persistent challenge in secondary education that significantly hinders students' subsequent learning. Misconceptions are alternative frameworks students hold that deviate from scientifically accepted concepts, often leading to systematic errors when solving problems or interpreting phenomena. Addressing this issue is critical, as a weak foundation in kinematics the description of motion can severely impact the comprehension of dynamics and energy. This study was specifically aimed at identifying and quantitatively analyzing the prevalence and patterns of student understanding and misconceptions regarding basic kinematics among 11th-grade science students at SMA Negeri 1 Percut Sei Tuan.The research employed a descriptive quantitative methodology, utilizing the robust Two-Tier Diagnostic Test method to collect and categorize student data. The study sample consisted of 30 students from the Grade XI Matlangraf class who participated in a 10-item questionnaire covering core kinematics concepts. Analysis of the diagnostic test results revealed a critical issue in conceptual mastery. The findings indicated that only 6 students (20%) demonstrated a solid conceptual understanding. Conversely, a significant majority 17 students (57%) were classified as experiencing specific misconceptions, while the remaining 7 students (23%) showed no understanding of the concepts. This substantial finding confirms that a majority of the 11th-grade cohort harbors underlying misconceptions related to basic kinematics material, underscoring the urgent necessity for the implementation of effective intervention strategies to address these cognitive obstacles directly.

Abstract

Misunderstanding of Newton’s Laws is one of the main factors contributing to low physics achievement at the senior high school level. These misconceptions are often stable and strongly believed by students, which can hinder further learning, making early identification an important step for improving instruction. This study aims to describe students’ levels of conceptual understanding and misconceptions regarding Newton’s Laws using a diagnostic test based on the Certainty of Response Index (CRI). The research was conducted with 33 tenth-grade students from class X-B at SMA Negeri 2 Percut Sei Tuan using a descriptive quantitative non-experimental design. The instrument consisted of 10 multiple-choice questions accompanied by a CRI scale ranging from 1 to 5, which was used to classify students into categories of understanding the concept, not understanding the concept, lucky guess, and misconception. Data were analyzed based on the combination of correct/incorrect answers and high/low CRI scores. The results indicate that students still experience significant misconceptions in several sub-concepts, particularly concerning action–reaction forces, the identification of forces acting on an object, and the relationship between net force and motion. These misconceptions primarily appear among students who are highly confident in their incorrect answers , with the highest percentage of misconceptions found on Question No. 5 at 72.8%, followed by Questions No. 3 and No. 7, each reaching 57.6%. These findings confirm that the CRI method is effective in diagnosing the quality of student understanding and highlights the need for instructional interventions that focus on correcting faulty conceptual beliefs rather than merely procedural memorization.
