Abstract

This qualitative study attempts to find out students’ perceptions on the utilization of icebreakers in grammar class. It broadly believes that better teaching and learning provide a likely classroom climate. EFL teachers employ plenty of strategies and activities to actualize successful language acquisition. Reliable icebreaker activities are one of the techniques that support EFL learners to gain a well-turned learning outcome, especially in Grammar. To take the sample, the researcher used purposive sampling, which Involved 12 students from the 3rd semester of English Department at the State Islamic Institute of Lhokseumawe. A questionnaire with Likert-scale solely shed light on the description of EFL learners’ perceptions of the use of icebreakers in grammar class. Moreover, the data analysis was done through some steps, namely, data collection, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. Several bar charts were presented to illustrate the data. The result indicated that icebreakers became substantial activities in grammar class to organize not only linguistic and social factors but also psychological factors in language learning, such as boredom, anxiety, nervousness, and insecurity. Various kinds of applicable ice breakers implemented in grammar class stimulate students’ interest, foster their motivation and enthusiasm, and develop interpersonal skills. Thus, EFL Learners are ready to undergo the forthcoming lesson on grammar and have a positive learning experience. So, understanding of the subject matter improves.  Finally, this study can be a powerful teaching reference for future research on similar topics.

Abstract

Background: Increasing cases of chronic diseases lead to higher death rates in the world. Chronic diseases are caused by unhealthy people's behaviour, environmental factors, increased use of technology, socio-cultural influences that can affect the quality of life of sufferers. Chronic illness can affect the health of individuals, families, communities and governments. The precede-proceed model is an approach that can be used to influence individuals in their activities by adjusting to their conditions, compliance with treatment and enthusiasm for treatment so as to improve the quality of life for people with chronic diseases. Purpose: To identify the effectiveness of the precede-proceed model in improving the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases.Method: This research is a pre-experimental research with a pre-test and post-test design approach. The population in this study were people with chronic diseases and the sample was 17 respondents who were selected by random sampling with the inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the researcher. The precede-proceed model was carried out in 7 stages which lasted for 7 weeks. The instrument used to assess the patient's quality of life is Whoqol-Brief. Hypothesis testing using the Paired T-sample statistic. Results: the most dominant sex in this study was women with a percentage of reaching (76.47%), the most age was elderly with a percentage of 52.94%, secondary education level with the highest percentage of 58.82% and the most type of DM disease dominant in this study with a percentage of 35.29%. The precede-proceed model can improve the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases (p=0.00).Conclusion: The precede-proceed model is an approach to increasing the knowledge of people with chronic diseases with health services through the support of patients, families and the community.  Keywords: Chronic Diseases; Precede-Proceed Model; Quality of Life. Pendahuluan: Peningkatan kasus penyakit kronis menyebabkan semakin tingginya angka kematian di dunia. Penyakit kronis disebabkan perilaku masyarakat, faktor lingkungan, peningkatan penggunaan teknologi, pengaruh sosial budaya yang dapat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup penderita. Penyakit kronis dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan individu, keluarga serta masyarakat dan pemerintahan. Precede-proceed model merupakan suatu pendekatan dalam bentuk pendekatan, yang dapat mempengaruhi individu untuk beraktivitas dengan menyesuaikan dengan kondisinya, pemenuhan dalam pengobatan dan semangat dalam menjalani pengobatan sehingga mampu meningkatkan kualitas hidup penderita penyakit kronis. Tujuan: Untuk melihat keefektifan precede-proceed model dalam meningkatkan kualitas hidup penderita dengan penyakit kronis. Metode: Penelitian quasi eksperimen dengan pendekatan pre-test dan post-test design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah penderita penyakit kronis, dengan sampel sebanyak 17 responden yang dipilih secara random sampling. Kriteria inklusi meliputi responden yang bersedia menjadi responden, pasien yang mengalami penyakit kronis lebih dari 6 bulan, kesadaran compos mentis, nilai kualitas hidupnya rendah, sedangkan yang menjadi kriteria eksklusi merupakan responden yang tidak bersedia menjadi responden, ada gangguan penglihatan dan pendengaran. Pelaksanaan precede-proceed model ini dilaksanakan dalam 7 tahapan yang berlangsung selama 7 minggu. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk menilai kualitas hidup pasien berupa Whoqol-Brief. Pengujian hipotesis menggunakan statistik Paired sampel T-test.Hasil: Menunjukkan bahwa jenis kelamin yang paling dominan dalam penelitian ini adalah perempuan dengan persentase mencapai 76.47%, usia yang paling dominan dalam penelitian ini adalah lanjut usia dengan persentase mencapai 52.94%, tingkat pendidikan paling banyak menengah dengan persentase 58.82% dan jenis penyakit kronis yang paling banyak adalah penyakit diabetes mellitus dengan persentase 35.29%. Model precede-proceed dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup penderita dengan penyakit kronis (p=0.00).Simpulan: Precede-proceed model merupakan suatu pendekatan dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan penderita penyakit kronis dengan pelayanan kesehatan melalui dukungan dari pasien, keluarga dan masyarakat Kata Kunci: Kualitas Hidup; Penyakit Kronis; Precede Proceed Model.

Abstract

Walking exercise is one of the simplest and most cost-effective therapeutic approaches that can improve insulin sensitivity and promote glucose utilization for patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).  This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of walking exercise therapy in lowering random blood glucose levels among patients with T2DM. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was used. The study involved 21 respondents with T2DM who were members of the Posbindu PTM in Gampong Lam Ujong Meunasah Manyang, Aceh Besar. The intervention consisted of walking exercise sessions lasting 30–45 minutes, performed three times per week for four consecutive weeks. Random blood glucose (RBG) levels were measured before and after the intervention using an Accu-Chek glucose meter. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of ? 0.05. The results showed a significant decrease in RBG levels from a mean of 351.19 mg/dL before the intervention to 254.71 mg/dL after the four-week exercise program (p = 0.000). These findings indicate that walking exercise therapy effectively reduces random blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Therefore, nurses and community health practitioners are encouraged to incorporate walking exercise therapy into diabetes care and education programs as part of lifestyle modification strategies to achieve better glycemic control.
