Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology and shifts in modern lifestyles have led young children to spend more time indoors engaging with electronic devices, consequently reducing their physical activity levels. Insufficient physical activity during early childhood is considered a potential risk factor for developing Diabetes Mellitus (DM). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity and the risk of DM among elementary school children aged 8–12 years. A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed in May 2025 at SDN Tasikmadu 1 Malang, involving 154 participants within the specified age range. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results indicated that 84.4% of the children demonstrated a moderate level of physical activity, while 15.6% exhibited a high level. Regarding diabetes risk, 43.5% were classified as moderate risk, 37.0% as low risk, and 19.5% as high risk. Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between physical activity and diabetes risk (p = 0.294, p > 0.05). In conclusion, there was no statistically significant relationship between physical activity and DM risk among the studied population. Nevertheless, regular monitoring and the promotion of physical activity remain essential to support overall child health and reduce the likelihood of future metabolic disorders.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: The number of patients undergoing fracture surgery with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) continues to increase each year, accompanied by postoperative complications such as pain, decreased muscle strength, and limited mobility. Early mobilization is considered an effective intervention to prevent these complications. This study aimed to determine the effect of early mobilization on muscle strength and pain reduction in postoperative ORIF patients. Methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre- and post-test approach. The sample consisted of 16 patients in each group, selected using the Federer formula. The intervention group received early mobilization and analgesics, while the control group received analgesics only. Muscle strength was measured using the Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) scale, and pain levels were assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of <0.05. Results: The early mobilization group showed an improvement in muscle strength to level 3 in 68.8% of patients and a significant reduction in pain, with 87.5% of patients reporting mild pain. In contrast, the control group reached only level 2 muscle strength in 87.5% of patients, and only 31.3% experienced mild pain. The p-values were 0.002 for muscle strength and 0.001 for pain level Conclusion: Early mobilization is more effective than standard care in improving muscle strength and reducing pain in postoperative ORIF patients. Failure to implement early mobilization may lead to complications such as joint stiffness, contractures, muscle weakness, and circulatory issues that increase the risk of thrombosis. It is recommended that ward nurses provide education and implement early mobilization interventions in accordance with standard operating procedures.
