Abstract

Background: Violent behavior is a condition where a person vent their feelings and anger in a physical form that can harm themselves, others and the environment. One of the nursing interventions that can be given patients with violent behavior is assertive training. The purpose of this study was to determine changes in the level of violent behavior through assertive training. Methods: The research design used is descriptive observational with case studies. The sample is Mr. M with a diagnosis of violent behavior who was treated at RSJ. Radjiman Wediodiningrat Lawang. The inclusion criteria in this study were patients with violent behavior problems, patients who were able to communicate well, patients who had completed at least SP1, while the exclusion criteria were patients refusing to be managed patients, patients who were getting mechanical restraints. Nursing interventions carried out are doing SP1-SP5 and doing assertive exercises in sessions 1-4. Findings: The findings of the intervention obtained patients can find out the causes of anger, identify unmet wants and needs, communicate the causes of anger, express verbal refusal, reject irrational requests. Conclusions: Assertive training teaches patients to train interpersonal communication skills, in conveying their needs, rights, without ignoring the rights of others so as to reduce violent behavior. This therapy is effective for reducing violent behavior and symptoms of patients with violent behavior. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study introduces assertive training as an effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce violent behavior in psychiatric patients. It highlights how structured assertive exercises improve communication skills, enabling patients to manage anger and express needs appropriately.

Abstract

Background: Sedentary behavior, characterized by prolonged sitting or lying down, is increasingly recognized as a major health risk, particularly for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Previous studies have shown that sedentary lifestyles can exacerbate glucose control issues, leading to poor glycemic regulation and an increased risk of complications. This study aims to explore the relationship between sedentary behavior and blood glucose levels in T2DM patients, highlighting the potential benefits of interrupting sedentary time with physical activity. Methods: This research utilized a comprehensive literature review methodology, analyzing studies published over the past decade to assess the impact of sedentary behavior on glycemic control in T2DM patients. The review focused on both observational studies and experimental trials, employing data from clinical studies and patient monitoring. Findings: Prolonged sedentary behavior was found to be associated with worsening glucose control, including prolonged hyperglycemia and reduced euglycemia. Interrupting sedentary time with short bouts of physical activity (e.g., walking or light exercise) was shown to significantly improve glucose uptake in skeletal muscles, providing effects similar to anti-diabetic medications. Consistent and frequent interruption of sedentary behavior resulted in improved daily blood glucose control, potentially offering a non-pharmacological intervention for T2DM management. Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of reducing sedentary behavior in T2DM patients as a strategy to enhance blood glucose control and prevent complications. Regular physical activity interruptions can serve as a critical non-pharmacological intervention to manage and control blood glucose levels. Novelty/Originality of this article: This review contributes to the growing body of evidence on the health risks of sedentary behavior in T2DM patients, emphasizing the potential of simple lifestyle interventions to improve glycemic control, which has been insufficiently explored in previous literature.
