Abstract

Relapse and rehospitalization are common occurrences in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), and these can be mitigated through effective self-care practices. Positive illness perceptions play a crucial role in promoting good self-care. This study aimed to investigate the connection between illness perception and self-care among patients with coronary heart disease at the Cardiac Polyclinic of RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang. Conducted from June to July 2023, this quantitative research utilized a cross-sectional approach and involved 242 patients from the cardiac polyclinic at Dr. M. Djamil Padang, using purposive sampling. The instruments used were the Self-Care Coronary Heart Disease Inventory (SC-CHDI) and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ). The mean values for illness perception and self-care were 52.27 (SD=9.76) and 62.31 (SD=11.35), respectively. Data analysis used the Spearman Rank correlation test, yielding a p-value of 0.014 (r=0.157). The findings revealed a positive correlation, indicating a relationship between illness perception and self-care in patients with coronary heart disease. This implies that a more optimistic perception of the disease is associated with improved self-care among CHD patients. It is advisable for individuals with coronary heart disease to enhance their perception by engaging in informational support activities, thereby fostering optimism, and ultimately improving self-care behavior.

Abstract

The quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis needs to be improved due to the psychological pressure and adaptation to new lifestyle habits required by these patients. High levels of spiritual well-being are one of the strategies to enhance the quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study aims to examine the relationship between spiritual well-being and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. A correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach was employed in this study. A total of 111 respondents were selected using an accidental sampling technique. The instruments used in this study included a demographic questionnaire, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and the kidney disease and Quality of Life-36 questionnaire. Data were processed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation tests. The results indicated an average score of 97.39±8.32 for spiritual well-being, which falls within the moderate category, while quality of life was also in the moderate category with an average score of 48.05±7.90. A significant positive correlation with moderate strength was found between spiritual well-being and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (p=0.000; r=0.417). It is recommended that nurses provide education and interventions such as writing therapy and involve the patients' families in the care process to provide emotional support, thereby improving spiritual well-being and quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract

Padang frequently experiences flash and regular floods, resulting in material losses and casualties. Batu Busuk, due to its geographical characteristics, is highly prone to flash floods, making community preparedness essential for disaster risk reduction. To strengthen mitigation efforts, a focused group discussion (FGD) was conducted on 15 September 2023 with nine community leaders. The discussion generated three themes: the impact of the January 23, 2023 flash flood, challenges in previous disaster management, and future plans for flood mitigation. The FGD highlighted the need to increase community awareness, enhance emergency response skills, and provide adequate evacuation routes and facilities. As a follow-up, disaster mitigation education was delivered to 40 households through sessions at the local mushala and door-to-door visits, aiming to improve residents’ knowledge and preparedness. The study recommends empowering community leaders to implement disaster management plans, expanding mitigation education, facilitating structural measures, developing early warning systems, and conducting evacuation and first aid training for flash flood victims.
