Abstract

Gout arthritis ranks among the ten most frequently reported diseases in the past three years, with multiple risk factors influencing its incidence. This study investigates the impact of dietary patterns, physical activity, and nutritional status on the occurrence of gout arthritis among patients at Bukit Kangka Community Health Center, Siompu District, Buton Selatan Regency.This quantitative research employed a case-control design. Purposive sampling yielded 102 participants, comprising 51 individuals with gout arthritis and 51 controls. Data collection involved questionnaires assessing dietary patterns, physical activity, and anthropometric measurements. The chi-square test and odds ratio (OR) were used to determine the magnitude of risk.The findings demonstrate that diet is a significant risk factor for gout arthritis, with an odds ratio (OR) of 3.143 (95% CI: 1.171–8.437). Physical activity is similarly associated with increased risk (OR: 2.670, 95% CI: 1.141–6.247), and nutritional status shows a comparable association (OR: 3.559, 95% CI: 1.541–8.219). In summary, individuals with a high-risk diet are approximately 3.1 times more likely to develop gout arthritis than those with a low-risk diet. Similarly, high-risk physical activity and adverse nutritional status increase the likelihood by approximately 2.6 and 3.5 times, respectively. These results suggest that adopting a low-purine diet, engaging in regular physical activity appropriate to individual capacity, and maintaining normal nutritional status are effective strategies for the prevention and management of gout arthritis.

Abstract

Background: Parents of children with long-term health conditions often experience substantial caregiving demands that may affect their confidence and their children’s quality of life. Parent empowerment is considered an important family-centred strategy to strengthen caregiving capacity and improve child well-being. Research Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a Parent Empowerment Program in improving parental self-efficacy and quality of life among children with long-term health conditions in Baubau City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design was conducted among 40 parents selected using purposive sampling. Participants were divided equally into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received a structured Parent Empowerment Program, while the control group received routine care. Data were analysed using paired-samples and independent-samples t-tests with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: Parental self-efficacy in the intervention group increased from 58.40±7.12 to 76.85±6.34 (p<0.001), while children’s quality-of-life scores increased from 61.75±8.21 to 78.30±7.46 (p<0.001). Improvements in both outcomes were significantly greater in the intervention group than in the control group. Conclusion: The Parent Empowerment Program was effective in improving parental self-efficacy and children’s quality of life. Integrating structured parental empowerment into paediatric and community health services is recommended to strengthen family-centred care.
