Abstract

This study aims to synthesize the findings from existing research on health-seeking behaviors among cancer patients. A systematic review was conducted using electronic databases and websites, including Sage Journal, ProQuest, and Science Direct, on March 9, 2024. The search strategy employed a combination of MeSH terms and keywords, specifically "health-seeking behavior," "cancer care," and "cancer prevention." The analysis revealed that, out of 11 research articles reviewed, several reported a low incidence of health-seeking behavior, particularly in communities within developing countries. This was largely attributed to limited access to healthcare facilities, leading some patients to rely solely on traditional medicine. In conclusion, the decision to seek medical assistance in some communities is complex and influenced by various factors. Keywords: Cancer Care, Cancer Prevention. Health Seeking Behavior.

Abstract

Hypertension or high blood pressure is an increase in systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg so it is often referred to as the silent killer because it does not show significant symptoms. The purpose of this study is to find out if there is a correlation between the length of suffering from hypertension and the level of anxiety of hypertension patients. The type of research used was a quantitative study on 58 respondents at the Community Health Center Aceh Besar Regency using a cross sectional study design with a sampling technique, namely convenience sampling. Data collection used the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire. The results obtained were that most of the patients with moderate hypertension with a BP of 160-180 mmHg were 28 respondents, 24 respondents had hypertension > 11 years, and 31 respondents had mild anxiety levels. The chi-square value between the length of time suffering from hypertension and the level of anxiety was p = 0.000. The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between the length of suffering from hypertension and the level of anxiety in the elderly.

Abstract

Lung cancer patients often face significant psychosocial distress, negatively impacting their quality of life. To address this problem and equip patients with coping skills, the application of the concept of Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms (TOUS) has become a relevant assessment format. Ten cases of lung cancer patients managed by the Resident showed that EvidenceBased Nursing Practice (EBNP) interventions in the form of Mindfulness Loving-Kindness Meditation (MLKM) were effective in treating psychological distress. This intervention has been shown to significantly reduce levels of stress, anxiety, and depression in patients. Therefore, MLKM is recommended as an essential nursing intervention to help lung cancer patients cope with their psychological distress. Oncology nurses are advised to adopt the TOUS approach in managing lung cancer patients experiencing psychological problems, strengthening evidence-based nursing practices in holistic governance. Keywords: Lung Cancer, Psychological Distress, Loving Kindness Meditation, Discomfort Theory.
