Abstract

Neuropathy is nerve damage that occurs mainly in the feet and hands on diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. High blood sugar degree over a long period of time will cause complications, one of which is damage to small blood vessels (microvasculature) such as diabetic neuropathy with an incidence of 45.6%. Diabetic foot exercise (DFE) is a non-pharmacological therapy to overcome this. This study aims to determine the difference in the degree of neuropathy in type II DM patients between before and after receiving DFE therapy. The inquire about plan utilized a Pre-Experiment Group Pretest-Posttest Plan with a population of 105 individuals and a sample of 26 individuals decided through Quota Sampling. The investigate instrument utilizing the Neuropathy System Score (NSS) questionnaire. Information were analyzed utilizing the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. The results of this reserach stated that the average degree of neuropathy for the group before DFE therapy = 6.5000 (moderate) and after = 4.4615 (mild). DFE therapy had a significant effect on reducing the degree of neuropathy in respondents (P-value = 0.000). Thus, DFE therapy can be recommended to be applied to type II DM patients as a complementary therapy that can help reduce the degree of neuropathy.

Abstract

Cancer is the number one cause of death in the world at the end of this century. The impact of the treatment of breast cancer patients on the psychological aspects of experiencing anxiety, and disturbed sleep patterns. The lower the anxiety experienced, the better the quality of sleep, and vice versa. The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between anxiety levels and patient sleep quality. This research method is cross section with sampling using Accidental Sampling technique. Respondents were 40 breast cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy. The results showed that 82.5% of patients experienced severe anxiety 82.5% and 82.5% had poor sleep quality. The Spearman Rank test results show a correlation value (r) of 0.342 (34.2%) and a p-value of 0.031. P value < (0.05). There is a relationship between anxiety and sleep quality in patients undergoing chemotherapy. It is hoped that it can provide information for health care institutions, which can then be developed for the provision of nursing care in meeting the need for quality sleep for chemotherapy patients.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of asthma has increased worldwide over the past few decades, with an estimated incidence reaching 400 million people by 2025. By the end of 2020, the prevalence of asthma in Indonesia was 4.5% of the total population, exceeding 12 million individuals.Methods: This study aimed to analyze the most frequent risk factors for asthma attacks. A correlative descriptive design was employed, with a population consisting of all asthma patients. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 30 respondents. This research was conducted in Malang and included respondents with a history of asthma who were not hospitalized.Results: Logistic regression analysis revealed that 72% of asthma recurrences were attributed to dust, cigarette smoke, cold air, family/hereditary history of disease, obesity, pollen, animal dander, seafood, eggs/nuts, fungi, and cow's milk. The remaining 28% were linked to other risk factors, including pregnancy, stress, excessive emotions, physical fatigue, weather changes, and more. The three primary risk factors for asthma attacks were dust (87%), cigarette smoke (83%), and cold air (73%).Conclusion: Asthma recurrence is primarily caused by hypersensitivity, with allergens triggering elevated IgE levels, leading to bronchoconstriction and subsequent asthma attacks. The findings of this study identified dust, cigarette smoke, and cold air as the main risk factors for asthma recurrence. Asthma patients need to recognize their allergens to facilitate preventive measures and reduce the likelihood of asthma attacks.
