Abstract

For more than five decades, dengue fever has been a public health problem globally, not only in Indonesia. Data from Gorontalo Province in 2020 showed 954 cases of dengue fever where the morbidity and mortality rates doubled from the previous year. The high death rate due to dengue fever cannot be separated from the influence of low public knowledge, so better efforts are needed such as education and socialization regarding the prevention and treatment of dengue fever in families and communities. This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge and understanding of efforts to prevent dengue fever. After the awareness activity was carried out, it was found that public awareness about preventing dengue fever had increased and the community also participated in preventing the occurrence of dengue fever, so that the incidence of dengue fever could decrease significantly.

Abstract

Breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often experience significant side effects that impact their physical and psychosocial well-being, necessitating a clear understanding of their supportive care needs for effective patient management. This study aimed to describe the supportive care needs among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at a regional public hospital in Gorontalo, Indonesia. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 38 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at RSUD Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe, recruited via consecutive sampling. Supportive care needs were assessed using the Supportive Care Needs Survey Short Form 34 (SCNS-SF34). The data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distributions to determine the proportion of patients reporting unmet needs in various domains. The highest prevalence of unmet supportive care needs was identified in the physical domain, with 57.9% (n=22) of respondents indicating a need for support. Lower levels of unmet needs were reported for the psychological domain (39.5%, n=15 needing support), the sexual domain (23.7%, n=9 needing support), and the information domain (13.2%, n=5 needing support). Notably, no respondents (0%) reported unmet needs in the care support domain, indicating this aspect of care was perceived as thoroughly met. Physical symptoms represent the most prominent area of unmet supportive care needs for breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in this Gorontalo hospital setting. While care support appears satisfactory, targeted interventions focusing on managing physical side effects are crucial for improving patient well-being during treatment.
