Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus or better known as diabetes is a disease characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin or the inability to use insulin (insulin resistance). The high prevalence of diabetes sufferers in Indonesia requires attention and treatment, especially through medication. One of Indonesia's advantages compared to other countries is the biodiversity and cultural diversity sector in Indonesia, namely medicinal plants. The cat's whisker plant (Orthosiphon stamineus B) can be an alternative treatment for treating complications of diabetes mellitus. Cat's whisker leaves contain orthosiphon glucose, saponins, essential oils, flavonoids, polyphenols, potassium salts and myoinositol, several substances contained in this plant have the potential to lower blood sugar levels. Methods: This writing is a literature review by collecting literature from English and Indonesian language articles from 2014-2024, most of which are research articles. Results: The search using the keywords, resulting in a final total of 5 articles to be included in the literature review. Conclusion:  This research reveals that cat's whiskers (Orthosiphon stamineus B) show potential as an effective antidiabetic agent. Treatment with Orthosiphon stamineus B extract significantly reduced blood glucose levels, increased insulin secretion, and increased ghrelin and GLP-1 levels, all of which contribute to glucose regulation

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a chronic medical condition characterized by persistently elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure beyond normal thresholds, often termed a “silent killer.” Increased self-efficacy and effective self-care management have been shown to positively influence adherence to antihypertensive treatment. However, limited research has examined the relationship between intrinsic factors and medication adherence among patients within the Saigon Community Health Center. Purpose: To determine the relationship between self-efficacy, self-care management, and medication adherence among individuals with hypertension. Method: This research employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 100 hypertensive patients participated, assessed using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), the Modified General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Hypertension Self-Management Behavior Questionnaire (HSMBQ). Univariate analysis was used to describe respondents’ demographic characteristics, while bivariate analysis was performed using Spearman’s correlation test. Results: The findings showed that 87% of respondents demonstrated good self-care management, 85% had high self-efficacy, and 51% adhered to their prescribed medications. Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between self-care management and medication adherence (p = 0.002, r = 0.311), as well as between self-efficacy and adherence (p = 0.009, r = 0.262). Conclusion: Both self-efficacy and self-care management were found to have a significant but weak positive correlation with medication adherence. Strengthening patients’ motivation and promoting consistent engagement in hypertension management are essential to reducing related complications.
