Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of tumors/cancer in Indonesia is increasing. Many cases of cancer at an advanced stage experience severe symptoms and cause suffering that has not been handled properly. Palliative care helps a cancer survivor and his or her family to live a more comfortable life to have a better quality of life. Methods: For this reason, a team that works in an integrated manner includes both medical and non-medical personnel, including volunteers. The role of volunteers in palliative care teams varies according to need and can be involved in hospital care, or at home, expected to bridge between health care institutions and patients. Psychiatrists at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya and their residents try to give four sessions of volunteer training to raise awareness, provide health education, or even provide some simple type of medical care and work as counselors. Results: After giving four training sessions every week, the ability of palliative teams had increased. They have the capability to communicate more effectively and efficiently, which is therapeutic, so it is necessary to provide them with counseling skills to listen to, understand, and respond positively when communicating with cancer patients and their families.

Abstract

Introduction: In this brief case report, we aim to focus on the spiritual aspect and how it may benefit in addressing loneliness. Case: The case is a female 62 years old, diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder with a psychosocial stressor of perceived isolation (loneliness), treatment approach consists of medication and spiritual-integrated cognitive behavioral therapy focused on her loneliness. Discussion: According to the definition spirituality is related to a transcendental being (vertical) and relation with others, the environment, and oneself (horizontal). In loneliness, the psychosocial symptom of perceived social isolation might be caused by the falling apart of a spiritual relation, either vertical or horizontal. Conclusion: Loneliness might be prolonged by a change in spiritual value and addressing loneliness through a spiritual aspect is an area that needs to be explored in future studies.

Abstract

Introduction: Back pain is a common reason for being absent from work and seeking medical treatment. It can result from injury, activity, and some medical conditions. Back pain consists of lower back pain and upper back pain. Back pain does have a physical cause, but it can also be triggered by precipitating factors, namely loneliness. To explain the mechanism that associates back pain with loneliness. Methods: Literature review. Results: Loneliness is divided into 2 types, namely social loneliness and emotional loneliness. Social loneliness is associated with the absence of a social network from the same circle, with which they can share the same activities or interests. Emotional loneliness can arise due to the absence of close emotional attachment. Whether or not back pain persists depends on whether the individual chooses problem-solving or problem avoidance. Loneliness in several studies increases the morbidity rate of physical and mental illness and also the mortality rate. Early detection of somatic symptoms and loneliness requires a self-measurement scale. Therapeutic interventions aimed at increasing social connection hold merit in reducing the impact of pain on engagement with activities. The treatments are usually Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Antidepressants. If necessary, consulting a psychiatrist is recommended. The cooperation of orthopedists, rheumatologists, and physical therapists with psychiatrists can be useful in improving the condition of patients. Conclusions: Recommendations for management are needed both in terms of general and specific strategies, as well as loneliness interventions.

Abstract

Addiction on the Internet occurred when time allocated to play or using the Internet for non-work activities reach a disturbing or even destroying level towards everyday activities, i.e. work activities, study, social activities, or significant decline of productivity and academic achievement. We should be alerted to such condition, when someone allocates more than 10 hours every day for the activity. A first step to treat is recognizing the symptoms. The computer-game and video-game addiction symptoms in both children and adults are exposed in this article. The American Medical Association considers to assume this addiction condition as a medical ailment or part of a certain mental disorder such as depression or anxiety. Ketergantungan (adiksi) pada Internet terjadi bila waktu yang digunakan untuk bermain atau menggunakan Internet untuk keperluan di luar pekerjaan mencapai level yang mengganggu bahkan “merusak” aktivitas wajar sehari-hari, yaitu aktivitas bekerja, sekolah, maupun kegiatan sosial, dan turunnya produktivitas kerja dan prestasi belajar secara bermakna. Perlu diwaspadai kemungkinan kondisi adiksi bila seseorang melakukan kegiatan tersebut lebih dari 10 jam setiap harinya. Langkah awal untuk penyembuhan adalah mengenali gejala-gejalanya. Dalam artikel ini dipaparkan gejala adiksi computer-game dan video-game pada anak serta orang dewasa. American Medical Association mempertimbangkan kondisi adiksi game ini sebagai gangguan medis atau merupakan bagian dari gangguan jiwa tertentu seperti depresi atau gangguan cemas.

Introduction: Glaucoma is a chronic progressive disease and one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Vision loss due to glaucoma affects not only the physical aspect but also has an impact on the patient’s mental health. Poor mental condition may influence the success of therapy and reduce the patient’s quality of life. Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the association between the severity of glaucoma and anxiety and depression in the Eye Outpatient Unit of RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya, Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 50 glaucoma patients at the Ophthalmology Outpatient Unit of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya. Mental health status was assessed through interviews using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The Spearman’s rho correlation test was applied to evaluate the association between glaucoma severity and the presence of anxiety and depression. Result and Discussion: Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG) was the most prevalent type, and most cases were bilateral. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between glaucoma severity and anxiety (r = 0.599), between glaucoma severity and depression (r = 0.520), and also between anxiety and depression (p = 0.001).
