Abstract

Introduction: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) project, kidney diseases significantly contribute to the global disease burden, resulting in approximately 850,000 deaths annually and 15,010,167 cases of disability, which lead to a decline in quality of life. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis face various issues that can cause biological, psychological, social, and spiritual imbalances. Objectives: This study aims to explore the challenges families encounter when caring for patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods: Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological research approach, the study involved in-depth interviews with a sample of five validated participants. The research identified four themes: (1) loyalty in caring for CKD patients; (2) feelings of sadness and concern regarding the patient's condition; (3) emotional burden of caregiving; and (4) acceptance of the patient's condition, with a central theme of accepting the CKD patient's status. Results: The research findings revealed four themes based on data collected from participants 1 to 5: (1) commitment to caring for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), (2) feelings of sadness and concern regarding the condition of CKD patients, (3) emotional burden associated with caring for CKD patients, and (4) acceptance of the CKD patients' condition. The data analysis process, based on the interview results from each participant, will be elaborated upon according to themes, sub-themes, and categories, along with excerpts from participants' statements. Conclusions: The findings from this study, which comprise four themes, indicate that families caring for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) face various psychological challenges that, if not addressed with appropriate coping mechanisms, can adversely affect their mental health status.

Abstract

Introduction:Hypertension sufferers with hypercholestrolemia can cause complications from stroke, heart disease and even death. There is a need for a therapeutic approach that can be used by sufferers as an alternative treatment. Objectives:The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of integrating cupping therapy with massage in controlling LDL levels in hypertension sufferers with hypercholetrolemia. Methods:This research is quantitative research with an experimental approach with a pre-post design with control group. The implementation of this research consists of several stages, namely the first stage, namely determining the number of research samples using the Lameshow formula and based on this formula, a sample number of 68 people was obtained which was divided into 2 groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. Results:in group inintervention, there was a difference in the mean at the pretest from 165.76 to 109.03 at the posttest. And the lowest reduction in cholesterol levels was 49,842 and the highest was 63,629. The results of the Paired t test showed a Phi value of 0.0001 < 0.05, which means that the integration of Cupping Therapy with Massage was able to reduce LDL levels in the Intervention Group. Meanwhile, in the Control group, the mean Pretest value was 159.59 and Posttest 158.32. The results of the paired t test showed that the Phi value was 0.107 > 0.05, which means there was no change in Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels in the control group. Conclusions: Based on the results above, it can be concluded that the integration of cupping therapy and massage can reduce LDL levels in hypertension sufferers with complications of hypercholestrolemia.
