Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease that can affect the quality of life of sufferers. Social support is often considered a contributing factor to the quality of life of pulmonary TB patients, but research results on this relationship are still mixed. This study aims to analyze the relationship between social support and the quality of life of pulmonary TB patients. This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. consisting of 33 pulmonary TB patients registered at one of the health centers in Palembang city. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included a social support scale, a stigma scale, and the WHOQOL-BREF instrument to measure quality of life. Correlation analysis showed that social support had a weak positive relationship with quality of life (r = 0.33; p = 0.05) which means that the higher the social support received by the respondents, the better their quality of life. Social support contributes positively to improving the quality of life of pulmonary tuberculosis patients

Abstract

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic condition that causes impaired heart function in pumping blood, which can reduce oxygen levels in the body. The increasing incidence of CHF in Indonesia requires appropriate treatment to improve patient health status. One of the evidence-based practice (EBP) interventions that can be applied is the provision of a semi-Fowler position to increase oxygen saturation in CHF patients. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of providing a semi-Fowler position in increasing oxygen saturation in CHF patients undergoing treatment in the inpatient room of Siti Fatimah Hospital, South Sumatra Province. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method on three CHF patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and oxygen saturation measurements using an oximeter before and after the semi-Fowler position intervention for three days. The results showed an increase in oxygen saturation after the application of the semi-Fowler position in all respondents. In Mr. M, there was an increase in average oxygen saturation of 6%, in Mr. N by 3.3%, and in Mrs. N by 4.7%.
