Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a non-transmitted disease which is particular concern at the global, national, and local level. CHD has become a concern because it has caused a lot of deaths. Risk factors linked with CHD consist of permanent risk factors and variable risk factors. The purpose of the research is to analyze the correlation between variable risk factors and CHD in the Minahasa ethnic society in Manado City. This research was an observational case-control study conducted by Prof. dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado, from August to October 2016. In total, there were 220 patients included. The sampling used a simple random sampling method and the data obtained were analyzed by chi-squared test. According to the results, hypertension, smoking, and behavioral type were connected to cases of CHD. The correlation degree showed that the respondents suffering hypertension were 5.70 times more likely to suffer CHD, the smoking respondents were 2.25 times more likely to experience, and behavior type A respondents were 2.96 times more likely to suffer CHD. Hypertension, smoking, and behavioral type are linked with CHD, so there should be some promotion and preventive actions from the health governmental institution to society, especially aimed at adults, about the quality of life enhancement by healthy behavior and avoiding CHD risk factors. Keywords: behavioral type, Case-control study, hypertension, smoking behavior.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot is a chronic complication that can be detrimental and has an impact on the quality of life of diabetic patients. Neurosensory examination of skin temperature using a thermograph can help prevent diabetic foot. Objective: to identify the neurosensory examination of skin temperature using infrared thermographs in addressing the risk of diabetic foot Design: The design in this study is Scoping review Methods: A journal search was conducted using the keywords "infrared thermography, screening or assessment, diabetic foot, and meta-analysis" to collect relevant articles published in the last ten years from four databases (ProQuest, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar). The inclusion criteria were: nurses, patients, diabetic foot, assessment, full-text articles, studies focusing on nursing issues, and written in English. Four journal articles were selected and analyzed using PICO. Results: Four meta-analysis articles on neurosensory examination of skin temperature sensitivity using a thermograph have a p value < 0.05, which can support clinical nursing for monitoring diabetic foot prevention. Conclusion: Examination of skin temperature sensation using a thermograph can be used as a method for neurosensory assessment in monitoring nursing care for structural integrity problems in the physiological changes of the diabetic foot.
