Abstract

Diabetes mellitus has emerged as a prevalent public health issue, experiencing a steady rise across the globe, in both developed and developing nations. Among the chronic complications frequently observed in diabetic individuals is diabetic neuropathy, characterized by recurrent infections, non-healing ulcers, and the potential for finger or toe amputations. These neuropathic complications often prolong the treatment duration, consequently impacting the length of hospitalization for patients. Neuropathic conditions in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) result in a prolonged healing process. This research aims to analyze the predictor factors contributing to the Length of Stay (LOS) in neuropathic DM patients. It employs a quantitative research approach utilizing a descriptive correlation methodology. The research was conducted from October 2023 to February 2024 at Indriati Solo Baru Hospital, with a questionnaire serving as the research instrument. The sample in this research comprised patients with Diabetic Neuropathy (DM Neuropathy) selected using the Purposive Sampling technique and totaled 127 respondents. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. The outcomes revealed that out of the seven factors examined, only three factors were significantly associated with the Length of Stay (LOS) among neuropathic DM patients: control of blood sugar levels, presence of complications in respondents, and presence of comorbid diseases in respondents. The predictor factor that exerted the greatest influence on the Length of Stay (LOS) level in neuropathic DM patients was the presence of comorbid diseases in respondents. The study primarily focuses on identifying predictor factors for length of stay (LOS) in neuropathic DM patients. However, it did not thoroughly control for potential confounding variables that could influence LOS, such as socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, severity of neuropathy, and presence of other comorbidities aside from diabetes. suggestion to the next research to focus on other variables such as healthcare, the severity of neuropathy, and the presence of other comorbidities aside from diabetes.

Abstract

Postpartum mood disorder is a postpartum maternal psychological problem that includes a range of psychiatric disorders. Postpartum mood disorders can have a serious impact on both the mother and the baby. About 70-80% of women experience mood swings during pregnancy and postpartum. Some experience mild and temporary changes, while others experience significant depression or anxiety. Provides a brief overview of the issue of mood disorders, given their high impact globally. This review will cover aspects such as the prevalence of mood disorders, clinical manifestations, and relevant management strategies. Postpartum mood disorders have a high prevalence, both globally and in our country context. Risk factors include a history of psychiatric disorders, stress during pregnancy, lack of social support, and economic problems. Symptoms vary from mood swings, anxiety, sleep disturbances, to severe symptoms such as psychosis. These disorders can be life-threatening to both mother and baby if not detected and treated quickly. Early detection is crucial and using diagnostic tools such as the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale can help. Treatment involves cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and the use of medications such as antidepressants. This review is not only useful for increasing healthcare professionals' awareness of mood disorders in this period, but also provides important insights into providing appropriate and time-effective treatment. In the context of clinical significance, in addition to pharmacological treatment, interpersonal or cognitive-behavioral therapy, as well as family therapy, have a very important role in managing mood disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Health education, on the other hand, is a purposefully organized procedure designed to offer individuals opportunities for ongoing learning, fostering heightened awareness, and enhancing their proficiency, capabilities, and skills to promote their overall health. Objective: Knowing the influence of health education about childbirth care through leaflet media on the level of knowledge of pregnant women Method: This type of research is quantitative research with a pre-experimental design method with the design used is one group pretest posttest. In this study, the study sample was 30 pregnant women who were divided into 2 intervention groups: Pre Test and Post test. The media used in providing education use pamphlets. Results: analysis results in the Pre Test group with a Mean of 1.33 ± 0.479 and the Post test group with a Mean of 1.70 ± 0.466. The results of the analysis showed a P-Value value of 0.004 (< 0.05). Conclusion: Providing education using leaflets can be an alternative in educational strategies that are more effective in increasing knowledge of maternity care in pregnant women
