Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease with abnormal glucose metabolism, constituting a complex health problem. As a chronic disease, people with diabetes mellitus have a high hospital hospitalization risk. Objective: This study aims to examine the correlation between diabetes mellitus duration and the incidence of hospital readmission in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: This study was a multicenter-based cross-sectional survey. This study was conducted in 5 hospitals in Makassar City, South Sulawesi. The research sample was 291 patients with diabetes mellitus, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Result: 207 respondents (71.1%) have had diabetes mellitus for 1-5 years and have been readmitted, while ten respondents (3.4%) have had diabetes mellitus for 6-10 years and have been readmitted. Meanwhile, two respondents (0.7%) who have had diabetes for more than ten years have not been readmitted. The Chi-square test resulted in a score of 0.026 (<0.05). Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus significantly impacts the risk of hospital readmission in Makassar City. Patients who have had diabetes for longer tend to comprehend the disease process and have better self-management. Recommendation: diabetes control should be improved in patients who have had diabetes for a long time to reduce readmissions. Future research should focus on developing approaches to effectively preventing hospital readmission incidents

Abstract

Hemoglobin (Hb) is a component of red blood cells that functions to transport oxygen throughout the body. Decreased hemoglobin levels cause anemia. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that ideal Hb levels are ≥11 gr/dL. Various factors such as ethnicity, environmental conditions, age, culture, parity, nutritional value, and socioeconomic status can affect the occurrence of anemia during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of Hb levels in pregnant women in the first and third trimesters, both in indigenous Papuans (OAP) and non-OAP. This type of research is quantitative analytic with a comparative research design. The population in this study were 290 pregnant women who came and underwent examinations at the Malawili Health Center. The number of pregnant women in this study was 36 people. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The results showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) in hemoglobin levels in pregnant women in the first and third trimesters in the OAP and Non-OAP categories. The average hemoglobin level of pregnant women in the first trimester who were anemic and not anemic was 11,076 and in the third trimester it was 10,850. The results of the study showed that the incidence of anemia was more common in pregnant women in the third trimester who did not receive iron and folic acid supplementation (non-OAP) due to lack of knowledge about the preparations needed during pregnancy. It is recommended to increase the role of health workers in providing information to pregnant women in order to reduce the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.

Abstract

Wound healing in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presents a major clinical challenge, particularly due to alterations in body composition such as reduced muscle mass and increased fat mass. This systematic review aimed to synthesize current evidence regarding the impact of body composition on wound healing effectiveness in T2DM patients. Literature was retrieved from PubMed, ProQuest, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar, targeting observational and experimental studies published between 2015 and 2025. Keywords included "type 2 diabetes mellitus", "wound healing", "body composition", "sarcopenia", and "obesity". Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Methodological quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist. A total of seven eligible studies were included and analyzed narratively. The findings from the 4 articles analyzed showed that low muscle mass (sarcopenia) and high fat mass (obesity) were associated with delayed wound healing in T2DM patients. Some studies indicate that patients with better body composition balance, such as higher muscle mass index, experience faster wound healing. Heterogeneity in measurement methods and study populations limits the strength of these conclusions. This review supports the hypothesis that body composition significantly influences wound healing outcomes in T2DM. Muscle mass reduction may impair tissue repair by limiting perfusion and immune responses, while increased fat mass may contribute to chronic inflammation that hinders tissue regeneration. Further longitudinal research with standardized assessments is needed. Interventions that promote muscle mass gain and fat mass control may be essential components in wound management strategies for diabetic patients.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricemia are among the major public health challenges in Indonesia. Health promotion and disease prevention efforts through medical check-ups and education are important strategies to increase public awareness and enable early detection of NCD risk factors. This community service program was conducted in Adatongeng Village, Turikale District, Maros Regency, involving 12 residents. The intervention consisted of three stages: anamnesis, vital signs examination including blood pressure, and blood sugar and uric acid level tests. Counseling was then provided on healthy lifestyle practices, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and the importance of routine medical check-ups. The results showed active community participation in both the examinations and educational sessions, as well as increased awareness of the importance of early detection and prevention of NCDs. This activity suggests that integrating medical check-ups and education is an effective strategy in health promotion and disease prevention efforts to improve community quality of life.

Abstract

Chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular conditions require ongoing and holistic management. Digital storytelling and health coaching are innovative methods that support chronic disease management. Digital storytelling enables patients to share personal experiences, enhancing their understanding and engagement. Health coaching offers personalized support to help patients achieve health goals through sustainable lifestyle changes. This scoping review aims to examine the existing literature on the use of digital storytelling and health coaching in chronic disease management. The review focuses on the potential benefits of combining these approaches and identifying research gaps. A literature search was conducted across electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar) using keywords related to digital storytelling, health coaching, and chronic disease management. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed to identify key themes and research gaps. The findings indicate that digital storytelling enhances patient understanding of their condition, promotes better communication with healthcare providers, and increases patient engagement. Health coaching effectively helps patients set and achieve health goals through a structured and personalized approach. The combination of these methods provides a more holistic approach to chronic disease management. Integrating digital storytelling and health coaching provides a personalized, empathetic, and coordinated method for addressing chronic illnesses. However, further research is required to enhance integration strategies and evaluate the sustained impact of these methods across different long-term health conditions.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a widespread health concern that greatly affects the physical and mental well-being of individuals, particularly those who undergo hemodialysis (HD). Managing this condition poses significant challenges for patients, often leading to reduced self-efficacy. Digital storytelling has been identified as a potentially effective method for improving self-efficacy in patients with chronic illnesses; however, its impact on CKD patients receiving HD has not been thoroughly examined. This research aims to assess the impact of a digital storytelling intervention on boosting self-efficacy in CKD patients undergoing HD. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed to examine the intervention's effects. The study involved 40 CKD patients from Bhayangkara Hospital Makassar, selected using purposive sampling. Of these, 27 patients were allocated to the intervention group, and 13 to the control group. The intervention group participated in digital storytelling sessions twice weekly for four weeks, with each session lasting 15-20 minutes. The Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Efficacy (CKD-SE) questionnaire was administered pre- and post-intervention to measure self-efficacy. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests for within-group changes and ANOVA to compare results between the groups. After the digital storytelling intervention, 85.2% of participants in the intervention group showed improvement in self-efficacy, though the change did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.215). Meanwhile, the control group experienced a decrease in self-efficacy over the same period. Despite the encouraging results, the brief duration of the intervention may have limited its full effectiveness. Digital storytelling appears to be a useful method for enhancing self-efficacy in CKD patients undergoing HD. Although the improvements were not statistically significant, the positive trends suggest potential benefits. Future studies should consider extending the duration of the intervention and increasing the sample size to better evaluate its efficacy.
