Abstract

Background: The problem of heart failure patient relates with reduced functional capacity and eventually leads to declined quality of life (QoL). Improved QoL may not relate to better functional capacity since QoL is influenced by patient’s expectation to the on-going treatment. This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between  six-minutes’ walk test (6MWT) as a measure for functional capacity and QoL of heart failure patient in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital.Methods: This cross sectional study involved 32 patients who were on planned visit at the outpatient clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from September to October 2013. Subjects were chosen using consecutive sampling. The correlation of 6MWT and QoL assessed using modified Minnesota Living and Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) was analyzed through Pearson’s correlation test.Results: There was a significant correlation between distance covered in 6MWT and QoL (r=-0.354, p<0.05).The mean of six-minute walk distance was 277.96 (±42.17) and mean of QoL score was 33.41 (±7.88). In accordance with the findings in previous studies, this study revealed correlation between the distance obtained in 6MWT and the QoL score in heart failure patient.Conclusions: There is correlation between 6MWT and quality of life in outpatients with heart failure at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the degenerative diseases that commonly occurs in the elderly, however, the etiology is still unclear. One of the risk factors is overweight. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between overweight and hypertension in the elderly living in Hegarmanah village.Methods: A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted from September to November 2013, including 100 elderly in Hegarmanah village Jatinangor, Sumedang, using a cluster sample technique. The data of body weight, height, and blood pressure were obtained after informed consent.Results: In total, 58 females and 42 males were included. The nutritional status was underweight (9%), normal (45%), overweight (31%), and obese (15%).  Hypertension among the elderly was normal (4%), prehypertension stage 1 (18%), hypertension stage II (24%), and hypertension stage III (54%). The hypertension was occurred in 43.6% non-overweight group and 56.4% in the overweight group, resulting in a significant relationship between overweight and hypertension in the elderly (p=0.001).Conclusions: The high prevalence of hypertension among the elderly who were overweight suggests a better promotion in lifestyle control, a particularly nutritional program for the elderly to manage hypertension and its complication.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a frequently underdiagnosed disease. Definitive COPD has been diagnosed using spirometry to evaluate pulmonary function. This study aimed to explore the spirometric values of COPD patients to aid in the diagnosis of COPD.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from October to November 2015. Data on patients diagnosed with COPD, aged 40 to 60 years old, were collected during the year 2014 prior to ethical clearance. Spirometry values consisted of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC ratio were taken from the medical records.Results: Sixty-eight COPD patients, consisting of 48 males and 20 females, were included of with most were classified as moderate COPD. The FEV1 was 49.72±17.79, whereas the FVC was 55.90 (range 22.80–96.03), and the FEV1/FVC ratio was 0.70±0.12. Most patients were classified into moderate COPD who had FEV1 between 50 and 80% of normal as GOLD 2 standard.Conclusions: Even though patients seem to have no symptoms, spirometric values may show a silent insufficient lung function affecting patients’ daily life.

Abstract

Background: Dyslipidemia occurs in 60% of hypertensive patients. Effective treatment of hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by more than 50%. However, compliance with dyslipidemia medication in dyslipidemia patients is still low. Low compliance can be attributed to poor knowledge. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge and compliance using antidyslipidemic drugs in hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia.Methods:  A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted from August to September 2022 at the Pasirkaliki Public Health Center (Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat, Puskesmas), Bandung, Indonesia. The consecutive sampling method was used to collect 64 hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia who were taking anti-dyslipidemic drugs. Primary data on knowledge and compliance were obtained through valid and reliable questionnaires. The Chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between the two variables.Results: The study results showed that 95.3% of respondents had good knowledge. Respondent compliance showed obedience of 78.1%. Respondents with good knowledge had an obedience rate of 78.1%. There was a relationship between knowledge and compliance to using anti-dyslipidemic drugs in hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia (p=0.001).Conclusions: There is a relationship between knowledge and compliance with the use of anti-dyslipidemia drugs in hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia. Almost all patients have good knowledge.  Continuous maintenance and improvement of patient knowledge is required, which can be achieved by conducting health education to better understand the relationship between diseases and the importance of taking medication.
