Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly contagious disease and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. When Mycobacterium tuberculosis enters the body of an individual with elevated blood glucose levels, it creates a favorable environment for bacterial growth and proliferation. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between blood glucose levels and acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear results in pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Arifin Achmad General Hospital, Pekanbaru. Methods: This study employed a retrospective analytical correlational design using secondary data from medical records. A total sample of 51 cases was analyzed using total sampling. Data was collected using an observation sheet and analyzed using Fisher's exact test. Results: A majority of the respondents (43%) had blood glucose levels exceeding 125 mg/dl, and a significant proportion (76.5%) had positive AFB smears. The Fisher exact test revealed a significant correlation between blood glucose levels and positive AFB smear results (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrates a significant association between blood glucose levels and AFB smear results in pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Arifin Achmad General Hospital, Pekanbaru.

Abstract

Introduction: Academic stress occurs when academic demands are perceived as exceeding individual capacity. Objective: This study aims to describe the perception of academic stress in students covering the first year of Riau University. Method: This descriptive quantitative study used a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected using the Perception of Academic Stress Scale (PASS) questionnaire, which includes 18 validated and reliable items. The sample consisted of 160 first-year students from four classes, selected through stratified random sampling. Univariate analysis described respondent characteristics and stress levels. Results: Most respondents were late teens (91.3%), female (92.5%), entered via SNBT (36.9%), and experienced moderate stress levels (78.1%). For academic expectations (69.4%), for workload and exams (77.5%), and for academic self-perception (69.4%). Conclusion: Most first-year nursing students at Riau University experience moderate academic stress. Future research should consider additional factors such as parenting style, emotional intelligence, and self-confidence to inform effective interventions.
