Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that requires long-term management, and family support plays an important role in helping patients perform self-care. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family support and self-care in people with diabetes mellitus. Using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, the study involved a population of 147 diabetes mellitus patients, with 60 respondents selected through the Slovin Formula. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed with the Chi-Square test. The findings showed a significant relationship between family support and self-care in people with diabetes mellitus (P-value = 0.001). Patients who received high levels of family support were more disciplined in controlling their diet, engaging in physical activity, maintaining personal hygiene, and adhering to medication. These results indicate that family support significantly influences self-care abilities in people with diabetes mellitus, and thus, health workers should involve families in diabetes management programs to improve the effectiveness of patient care. Family members can help monitor the patient's health, provide emotional support, and reinforce positive health behaviors, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes for the patient. Given these findings, healthcare providers should consider incorporating family-centered care into diabetes management programs to improve patient compliance, reduce the burden of disease, and enhance the overall quality of care.

Abstract

Hospitalization is often a stressful experience for preschool children, frequently leading to elevated anxiety due to separation from caregivers, unfamiliar medical environments, and invasive procedures. Storytelling, as a developmentally appropriate and therapeutic communication method, offers a promising approach for pediatric nurses to reduce emotional distress in young patients. This study aimed to develop a storytelling module as a pediatric nursing intervention to reduce hospitalization anxiety in preschool-aged children. A Research and Development (R&D) approach was employed using the Borg and Gall model. The study was conducted from April to June 2024 at Siti Khadijah Islamic Hospital, Palembang. The development process involved a literature review, expert validation by pediatric nurses, child psychologists, and linguists, module drafting, and limited field testing. The participants included 20 hospitalized children aged 3–6 years and five pediatric nurses. Anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-C) before and after the intervention, with descriptive analysis used to assess outcomes. The finalized module comprised six storytelling themes, colorful visual aids, and structured nursing guidelines designed to address common sources of hospitalization anxiety in preschoolers. Expert validation yielded a high Content Validity Index (CVI = 0.91), and field testing demonstrated a clear reduction in children’s anxiety scores post-intervention. The storytelling module is a culturally relevant, feasible, and effective pediatric nursing tool to reduce hospitalization anxiety in preschool children.
