Abstract

Introduction: Family empowerment might be considered asan effort to strengthen the role and knowledge of familywith TB patients. Objective: Proving the effectiveness of family empowerment with SEDAP (Sharing, Education, and Practice) method to improve the quality of life in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Methods: Mixed methods research, qualitative research was done using FGD approach, while pre-post control group design was used for the quantitative research. Thirty-eighttrials of TB patients were divided into 2 groups: intervention group where family empowerment was introduced using the SEDAP method and control group. Qualitative data were collected using a recording device which would be transcripted, followed by keyword observation and analysis. Quantitative data were obtained using SGRQ questionnaires, both on knowledge and quality of life variables. Qualitative data were analyzed by interactive models, whereas quantitative data by independent samples t-tests and paired samples t-test. Results: Three main domains (knowledge, attitude, and behavior) were obtained from the FGD results, along with the keywords analyzed from each domain. Knowledge domain was associated with TB causes and routes of transmission, attitude was related to the negative stigma on TB patients, and lastly, behaviour was linked with patients’ forgetfulness in taking medication and the side effects occurred due to the medication.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is still a problem that must be resolved in Indonesia, especially North Sumatra. The study aims to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the speed of sputum conversion in pulmonary TB patients. Randomized controlled trial study was conducted on 41 pulmonary TB patients according to inclusion criteria. Research subjects were given TB drug (DOTS program) and vitamin D treatment for 2 months. Sputum examination based on smear was carried out microscopically at 2nd week, 4nd week, 6nd week, and 8nd week after treatment. The results showed that all pulmonary TB patients who were given the intervention experienced sputum conversion. Research subjects with AFB +1 occurred the fastest conversion compared to the others. Statistical analysis using chi square obtained significant results (p = 0.0001). Sputum conversion evaluation based on the initial AFB status, there was a significant relationship between the time of sputum conversion with the initial AFB status with a very strong correlation level (r = 0.767). Vitamin D has been shown to have a significant effect on the patient's sputum conversion. Keywords: pulmonary TB; vitamin D; sputum conversion

Abstract

Background: Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are transmitted zoonically (between animals and humans) and can cause mild to severe symptoms. SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans causes symptoms of acute respiratory distress such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, the disease can cause pneumonia, acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death. Efforts to break the chain of spread of COVID-19 require a good understanding and knowledge of all elements including nurses. Objective: To find similarities, advantages, and disadvantages regarding the Description of Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes to prevent Covid-19 disease in 2021. Methods: This study used a descriptive type with a Literature review design obtained from sources from the International Journal of Nursing Research (IJNR) and the National Library. The keywords in this study were Description, Knowledge, Attitudes, Nurses, Covid-19 Prevention. Results: From five articles on the Description of Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes to prevent Covid-19 disease, four articles had good knowledge and attitudes and there was one article which stated that nurses' knowledge and attitudes were still not good. Conclusion: This study aims to determine the similarities, advantages, and disadvantages of using a literature review. Of the five articles, it shows that the five research journals have research similarities in this research method, the five journals use descriptive research methods, there are 4 journals that have similarities in the sample, namely nurses, the third equation there are five journals that use a cross sectional approach. The advantages of this study are that there are four complete studies in accordance with the research objectives, and the drawback of this research is that there is one incomplete article whose research is not in accordance with its objectives. Keywords: knowledge; attitude; nurse; Covid-19 prevention
