Abstract

Methadone is a synthetic drug belonging to the opiate class that is given in oral dosage form to patients as a substitute therapy for opioid addiction. Methadone was chosen as the main substitution therapy because it has an effect resembling morphine and cocaine with a longer working life so that it can be given once a day which is used by drinking. This study aims to determine the factors that affect the retention value of drug addict patients in methadone maintenance therapy at Bangil Health Center. This study was conducted retrospectively, taking medical record data of patients who followed methadone maintenance therapy selected by consecutive sampling. Data obtained as many as 35 patients. The results of demographic data showed the most male sex 33 people (94.3%), aged 26-35 years 22 (62.9%), SMA 29 (82.9%), working 35 (100%), married 27 (77.1%), opium 35 (100%), amphetamines 26 (74.29%), alcohol 33 (94.29%) and tobacco 33 (94.29%). The highest initial dose was 30-50mg, 23 people (65.7%), the smallest maintenance dose <60mg, 33 people (94.3%) and the largest maintenance dose >120mg, 24 people (68.6%). The retention value of patients < 6 months is 7 people (20%) and > 6 months 28 people (80%)

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic condition marked by elevated blood glucose levels, leading to damage in critical organs. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between diabetes self-management education (DSME) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in type 2 diabetes patients at the Balerejo Community Health Center. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting data from 50 patients using consecutive sampling and analyzed through the Chi-Square test. The demographic profile showed that 60% of participants were female, 60% were aged 36-45, and 56% had a normal BMI. Most patients had good dietary management (64%) but poor physical exercise habits (84%). HRQoL results indicated that 64% scored high in physical functioning, with other domains such as vitality (56%) and social functioning (56%) also showing positive outcomes. A significant relationship was found between DSME and HRQoL, with a P-value of 0.002 and an odds ratio of 7.2. These findings underscore the crucial role of DSME in enhancing the quality of life for type 2 diabetes patients by promoting better disease management practices.
