Abstract

Background: Indonesian Group Diabetes Education Program (InGDEP) was a structured health education at Health Centre (HC), which was an effort to improve self-management behavior in diabetes mellitus patients. Continuity in evaluating the provision of health education needs to be done, especially in terms of increasing knowledge, attitudes and independent care. The purpose of this study was to explore the self-management of Type 2 DM patients after attending a structured educational education using the Snehendu Kar behavior change theory approach. Methods: The research design used was a qualitative method with a grounded theory approach. Data collection was carried out by conducting in-depth interviews, validating and observing. Observations include nine main dimensions of social situations written in field notes on 10 selected participants and 3 health workers. All participants filled out diaries for 7 days regarding dietary arrangements, physical activity and daily treatment of DM patients. The data analysis process used a grounded theory approach; open coding, axial coding and selective coding. Results: This study showed that the core category of changes in health behavior related to self-management based on the Kar theory perspective includes 5 (five) selective coding. The theme obtained was that there were benefits for themselves and others who were based on their intention to attend education, adequate support systems, convenience of health information and health services, self-confidence and being able to make healthy behavior changes. The provision of information through structured education in InGDEP has provided changes in health behavior through self-management measures including diet and lifestyle management. Lifestyle changes were better implemented through implementation of regular physical activities where most of the participants did morning walks, homework and gymnastics; treatment and blood sugar monitoring regularly. Most of participants showed good and moderate changes in glycemic control (60%) and only 40% having poor glycemic control (HbA1c> 8.5 g / dl). Conclusion: The importance of providing education in stages and focusing on the patient's condition and an adequate support system in diet management in the form of educational classes. The benefits of the InGDEP education provided were so beneficial that it was expected to be sustainable.

Sementara Indonesia adalah negara ke-7 dengan prevalensi diabetes tertinggi di dunia. Diabetes mellitus telah menjadi epidemi yang meluas, terutama karena meningkatnya prevalensi dan kejadian diabetes tipe 2. Diabetes melitus dapat meningkatkan morbiditas dan mortalitas yang terkait dengan penyakit kardiovaskular, kebutaan, gangguan ginjal, gangguan neurologis dan amputasi. Aktivitas fisik seperti yoga adalah salah satu elemen kunci dalam pencegahan dan manajemen diabetes tipe 2, Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi efektivitas latihan Yoga pada penurunan kadar gula darah pada pasien DM Tipe 2. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan eksperimental dengan desain pre dan post test kelompok yang tidak sebanding. Subyek penelitian terdiri dari 40 pasien sebagai kelompok eksperimen dan 40 pasien sebagai kelompok kontrol. Semua pasien dalam kelompok eksperimen dipandu oleh ahli yoga untuk latihan reguler dengan pengawasan selama 3 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata kadar glukosa darah pada kelompok eksperimen adalah 217,05 mg / dl dengan standar deviasi 56,735 mg / dl, sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol adalah 256,85 mg / dl dengan deviasi standart 34,04 mg / dl.

Abstract

Menurut Laporan Kinerja Mutu dan Manfaat Bagi Masyarakat Komite Pencegahan dan Pengendalian Infeksi Rumah Sakit (PPIRS) pada tahun 2014 ditemukan angka Infeksi Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) 18,17%, dan dalam  enam bulan terakhir terdapat sebanyak  85,1%  pasien di ICU yang menggunakan Ventilasi Mekanik (ventilator). Protap yang tersedia belum sesuai dengan VAP bundle. Ditemukan perawat yang tidak konsisten dalam menerapkan intervensi keperawatan untuk pencegahan VAP dan ketidaktahuan perawat dalam penerapan VAP Bundle. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan tenaga kesehatan dengan Penerapan VAP Bundle di ICU RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang. Desain penelitian ini adalah analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Data diolah secara deskriptif dan dengan menggunakan chi-squared test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari separuh (60%) perawat memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang tinggi. Hampir seluruh (93,3%) perawat sesuai melakukan penerapan VAP Bundle. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan penerapan VAP Bundle (p<0.05). Disarankan kepada pihak rumah sakit dapat memberikan variasi pelatihan lanjut atau khusus tentang keperawatan kritis termasuk desiminasi jurnal terutama tindakan ventilasi mekanik sehingga perawat dapat menambah wawasan pengetahuan ilmu-ilmu terbaru sehingga dapat menambah kualitas perawat. Bagi manajemen ruangan agar dapat menetapkan VAP Bundle sebagai prosedur operasional standar sehingga diterapkan secara konsisten oleh para perawat dalam mencegahnya VAP.

Abstract

The incidence of breast cancer in Indonesia is around 8,625 cases and found that 82% of breast cancer patients are already at an advanced stage. Breast cancer patients do not yet know how to detect cancer early and are reluctant to conduct an early examination. West Sumatra is a province with the second highest incidence rate after Yogyakarta. In an effort to reduce mortality from breast cancer an effective screening program is needed to find out early. This activity aims to provide education and health information about breast cancer prevention and breast self-examination (BSE) or SADARI as an initial step in early detection of breast cancer. The method used was simulation, audio-visual education and demonstration. This activity was expected to be able to increase the knowledge, attitudes and awareness of female students in preventing breast cancer. Results of the activity increased student knowledge about breast cancer prevention and breast self-examination. They had a positive attitude towards the prevention and early detection of breast cancer and were willing to do regular breast self-examinations every month independently. Evaluation of this activity shows that it can increase knowledge by 81% - 90% of the knowledge, attitudes and actions of female students towards breast cancer prevention and breast self-examination.
