Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcers are a serious complication of diabetes that can lead to severe infections and even amputation. Proper foot care is a key prevention strategy, although the effectiveness of interventions varies in practice. Objective: This study analyzes the effectiveness of foot care interventions in preventing ulcers in diabetic patients through a systematic literature review. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines and the PICO approach (Population: type II diabetes patients; Intervention: foot care interventions; Comparison: standard education or no specific intervention; Outcome: prevention of foot ulcers). Article searches were conducted using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases from 2020 to 2025 using the keywords: diabetic foot care, foot ulcer prevention, and foot care education. The initial search yielded 268 articles, comprising 212 articles from Google Scholar and 56 articles from PubMed. Further screening was conducted by reading the titles and abstracts, removing duplicates and irrelevant articles, leaving 98 articles. During the eligibility stage, the full texts were thoroughly read and selected based on the established criteria, ultimately yielding 10 articles that met the criteria for further analysis. The methodological quality of the articles was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools. A review of 10 articles showed that various interventions, including behavior-based education and technology models, were effective in improving foot care and significantly reducing the risk of ulcers (p < 0.05) across all studies.

Abstract

  Resilience is a significant factor closely associated with the quality of life and well-being of patients undergoing haemodialysis. Resilience serves as a protective factor that can enhance patients' adaptive capabilities and their skills in implementing positive coping strategies. Research on the relationship between resilience and quality of life in haemodialysis patients is still limited and has not been extensively studied. This study aims to explore the interconnection between resilience and quality of life in haemodialysis patients. A search for article data sources was conducted by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria in accordance with the PRISMA format through various databases such as Emerald, PubMED, and ProQuest, as well as e-resources from the National Library. Additionally, searches were performed on article sites such as ResearchGate, Science Direct, and Google Scholar for the period 2019-2024. The keywords utilised included: “Resilience” or “Resiliency” or “Resilient” and “quality of life” and “Haemodialysis”. Data were extracted by documenting the author's name, year, country, objective, respondents, design, findings, and implications. The study design included literature reviews in the form of abstracts or full texts from research journals. The quality of the research was evaluated using the PRISMA literature search diagram. From 13 reviewed journals, the analysis indicated that 9 articles suggested a relationship between resilience and the quality of life of haemodialysis patients, whereas 1 article reported no relationship, and 3 other articles highlighted additional factors related to resilience in haemodialysis patients. Enhancing resilience should be a focus in the care of haemodialysis patients to support the achievement of better quality of life. Indicators related to resilience are factors that influence the quality of life of haemodialysis patients. The role of resilience on an individual level requires further investigation within the context of quality of life variables in haemodialysis patients.  Keywords: Factors related, hemodialysis, quality of life, resilience

Abstract

Hypertension is a condition that often does not present clear visible symptoms, with blood pressure readings reaching 140/90 mmHg or higher. One non-pharmacological treatment method that can be considered to reduce hypertension is Benson relaxation therapy combined with Quranic recitation (murottal). This study aims to evaluate the effects of the combination of Benson relaxation therapy and Quranic recitation on blood pressure changes in hypertensive patients. The study design used a quasi-experimental quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest method without a control group. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, involving 21 hypertensive patients receiving treatment at the Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital. Wilcoxon test was used for data analysis. The results of the study showed that before the intervention, both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were in the stage 2 hypertension category, but after the intervention, blood pressure decreased to stage 1 hypertension. This indicates a significant change in blood pressure due to the combination of Benson relaxation therapy and Quranic recitation (p-value < 0.05).

Abstract

Stroke patients often experience mobility impairments, which increase the risk of developing pressure ulcers (decubitus). Pressure ulcers are a common complication for patients with limited mobility, especially in the ICU. One intervention that can be used to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers is back massage using olive oil. This study aims to analyze the effect of back massage using olive oil on reducing the risk of pressure ulcers in stroke patients in the ICU at Sultan Agung Hospital. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, involving 17 respondents who received back massage using olive oil. The results showed that most respondents were aged 56-65 years (35.3%), the majority were male (70.6%), with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (52.9%), and the length of hospitalization was 3-5 days. Before the intervention, most respondents were categorized as being at moderate risk based on the Braden scale; however, after the intervention, the majority were no longer at risk of pressure ulcers. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.001, indicating that back massage using olive oil had a significant effect on reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. In conclusion, back massage using olive oil is effective in reducing the risk of pressure ulcers in stroke patients in the ICU. Therefore, this technique can be used as an alternative intervention to prevent the occurrence of pressure ulcers in stroke patients.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases with a high prevalence, both globally and nationally, including in Indonesia. Proper support from healthcare providers plays a crucial role in improving knowledge and dietary adherence among hypertensive patients. This study aims to examine the relationship between healthcare support and knowledge of hypertension as well as dietary patterns among hypertensive patients in the Internal Medicine Clinic at RSI Sultan Agung Semarang. The study uses a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 140 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The results indicate that the majority of patients receive good healthcare support, possess adequate knowledge of hypertension, and follow a good dietary pattern. However, Chi-Square test results show no significant relationship between healthcare support and knowledge of hypertension (p = 0.319) or dietary patterns (p = 0.319). This suggests that other factors, such as education, experience, family support, personal motivation, and eating habits, also influence the knowledge and dietary patterns of patients. In conclusion, although healthcare support plays a role in improving knowledge and dietary adherence in hypertensive patients, other external factors contribute significantly to the outcomes.

Abstract

Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal health problems experienced by various age groups and can significantly affect quality of life and reduce patient productivity. LBP is often associated with multiple risk factors, both biological, psychological, and social, thus requiring special attention in terms of management and prevention. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with pain levels among LBP patients at the Neurology Clinic of Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital Semarang. This research employed an observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 100 patients selected using a total sampling technique according to inclusion criteria. Data were collected through structured interviews and questionnaires covering respondents’ demographics, medical history, physical activity, body mass index (BMI), and pain level assessment. The results showed that the majority of patients were female (53%) and aged ≤50 years (74%). Most respondents had moderate physical activity levels (75%) and normal BMI. Bivariate analysis revealed a strong relationship between age, physical activity, and pain level, while gender showed a moderate relationship with pain intensity. Occupational factors were also found to influence patients’ pain perception. These findings indicate that age, gender, physical activity, BMI, and occupation are important variables associated with pain in LBP patients. Therefore, promotive, preventive, and rehabilitative interventions focusing on physical activity regulation, healthy lifestyle education, and early detection of risk factors are recommended to improve the quality of life of patients with LBP.

Abstract

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and remains a serious health problem characterized by chest pain due to narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. Pain experienced by ACS patients can affect both physiological and psychological conditions, therefore prompt and appropriate management is required. In addition to pharmacological therapy, non-pharmacological interventions such as relaxation techniques and aromatherapy can serve as alternatives to help reduce pain intensity. This study aimed to determine the effect of combining Benson relaxation and lemon aromatherapy on pain scale reduction among ACS patients in the Anggrek Ward of RSUD dr. H. Soewondo Kendal. The research employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 29 respondents were recruited using purposive sampling based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test because the data were not normally distributed. The results showed that the mean pain score before the intervention was 7.14 (moderate to severe pain), while after the intervention it decreased to 4.24 (mild to moderate pain). The Wilcoxon test revealed a significant difference between pain scores before and after the intervention (p = 0.000, p < 0.05). In conclusion, the combination of Benson relaxation and lemon aromatherapy was significantly effective in reducing pain among ACS patients. This intervention may be recommended as a non-pharmacological alternative to support acute pain management in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract

Craniotomy is a medical procedure to open the skull in order to repair and assess damage to the brain, which can cause fever due to thermoregulatory disturbances in the central nervous system. Monitoring the body temperature of post-craniotomy patients is crucial, as hyperthermia can increase the risk of complications. One non-pharmacological therapy to reduce fever is the use of ice gel compresses. This study aims to compare the effect of ice gel compress placement between the chest and armpit on body temperature changes in post-craniotomy patients in the ICU of RSI Sultan Agung Semarang. This research uses a pre-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest design, involving 22 respondents selected through total sampling technique. Data were collected using observation sheets, and statistical analysis was performed using the Paired Samples Test. The analysis results showed that the p-value for the chest was 0.867 (p > 0.05) and for the armpit was 0.199 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant difference in body temperature before and after the ice gel compress at both locations in relation to the body temperature changes of post-craniotomy patients. In conclusion, the application of ice gel compresses to the chest and armpit locations did not show a significant effect on reducing body temperature in post-craniotomy patients.
