Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. One of the risk factors and management of patients with diabetes mellitus is physical activity which can control blood glucose levels. This study aimed to determine the relationship between physical activity and blood glucose levels. The study design used correlation analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was all type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Abdoel Moeloek General Hospital Lampung. The sample used in this study was 52 respondents with consecutive sampling techniques. The research instrument for measuring physical activity was the physical activity level (PAL), and blood glucose level was measured using a glucometer, and data was analyzed using the Spearman Rho Test. The results showed that 32 respondents (61.5%) had mild physical activity, and 41 respondents (78.8%) had high blood glucose levels. The results showed a significant relationship between physical activity with blood glucose levels (p value=0,000; α<0,05) in patients with diabetes mellitus at the Abdoel Moeloek General Hospital, Lampung. Physical activity can help the body to lower blood glucose by way of metabolism involving glucose stored in the muscles so that glucose in the blood will fill the glucose vacancies in the muscles. Higher the physical activity in patients with diabetes mellitus, the lower the glucose level.

Abstract

Background: Children with thalassemia require lifelong, repeated blood transfusions, which frequently induce anxiety due to invasive procedures and unfamiliar clinical settings. If left unaddressed, anxiety can compromise treatment adherence and adversely impact psychological well-being. The present study investigates the effectiveness of play therapy in reducing anxiety among children with thalassemia undergoing blood transfusion. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was used at Pringsewu Regional Hospital. A total of 26 children were recruited using a total sampling approach. The intervention consisted of coloring-based play therapy administered for 20–30 minutes prior to transfusion. Anxiety levels were measured using a standardized child anxiety questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Result: Anxiety levels dropped significantly after the intervention. The median (IQR) anxiety score went from 40.42 before play therapy to 15.65 after. The difference between pretest and posttest scores was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Play therapy reduced anxiety in the participants. Conclusion: Play therapy is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for reducing anxiety in children with thalassemia undergoing blood transfusion. Its implementation may support pediatric nursing care by improving emotional comfort and facilitating smoother treatment procedures.
