Abstract

Mental health has serious consequences for the future of adolescents. Poor mental health affects routine activities, damages relationships, and hinders development and productivity. Adolescents with mental health problems have difficulty completing schoolwork. Various sources state that self-esteem is a predictor of mental health. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-esteem and mental health in adolescents. The research design was correlational with a cross-sectional approach. The population was 279 adolescents of Srengat junior high school in grade 8. A sample of 164 people was determined using a purposive sampling technique. The independent variable is self-esteem, and the dependent variable is mental health. Data collection used a questionnaire, which involved filling out a Google form—analysis using Spearman-Rho with a confidence value (α) of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had high self-esteem, namely 59.1%, and almost all had good mental health, namely 87.2%. The Spearman Rho test results showed a p-value = 0.000 (> α = 0.05), r = 0.424, meaning that there is a relationship between self-esteem and mental health of adolescents at Srengat junior high school with moderate strength. This study concludes a significant relationship between self-esteem and adolescents’ mental health; the better the self-esteem, the better the mental health of adolescents. Schools and parents should pay more attention to adolescents by taking a personal approach in an effort to improve mental health by increasing adolescent self-esteem.

Abstract

Gout arthritis is a non-communicable disease commonly found in the elderly, characterized by joint pain due to monosodium urate crystal deposition. Its high prevalence in Indonesia is associated with a high-purine diet, low physical activity, and limited knowledge of disease management. Complementary therapy using boiled bay leaves offers a safe and affordable method to reduce uric acid levels. This case study was conducted on four families with elderly members aged 60–75 years suffering from gouty arthritis in the Sananwetan Community Health Center, Blitar City. Nursing care was provided through assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. Interventions included health education on a low-purine diet and administration of 10–15 bay leaves boiled in 200–400 ml of water, consumed once daily for six days. Data collection was performed through interviews, observations, and physical examinations, including uric acid level monitoring. The main nursing diagnoses established were ineffective family health management, chronic pain, knowledge deficit, readiness to improve coping, readiness to enhance knowledge, and impaired family processes. Results showed a reduction in uric acid levels (average 6.2 mg/dl), decreased joint pain, and improved family knowledge and involvement in patient care. This study highlights the effectiveness of integrating family-based health education and complementary therapy using bay leaves in managing gouty arthritis. Family support proved to be an essential factor in successful disease control and quality of care for elderly patients.
