Abstract

One of the most common diseases causing death in women is mammary carcinoma which is the third largest cause of death in Indonesia after heart disease and stroke. Chemotherapy and surgery are treatment methods that have been widely used. The body image of patients who have undergone mastectomy will change as they no longer have breasts. The purpose of this study was to determine how coping mechanisms were used in patients suffering from carcinoma mammae post-mastectomy. This study used a qualitative-quantitative research design. The data was obtained through semi-structured interview guides and coping mechanism questionnaires as support. The data validity test method used triangulation of sources and methods. The data analysis in the study used domain analysis. The researcher analyzed the data using domain analysis and found seven main themes emotional distress when first diagnosed with Ca mammae, body image disturbance after mastectomy, breast loss after mastectomy, the use of active coping in seeking recovery, use of healthy lifestyle planning to reduce disease risk, use of religious coping mechanisms for illness perception, use of acceptance coping mechanism in illness. Some psychosocial problems such as mental emotional disorders such as severe stress, fear, and worry about the disease are often felt by patients. However, participants use adaptive coping mechanisms to adapt to psychosocial problems through the use of active coping, religion, planning, and being able to accept deficiencies in their body image.

Abstract

Nutritional status is a critical issue for older adults and is closely linked to various health problems. Insufficient or excessive dietary intake can impair the body’s ability to manage physical disorders and diseases, leading to increased weakness in this population. This research aimed to analyze the correlation between nutritional status and frailty in the elderly. This research utilized a cross-sectional design, employing consecutive sampling to gather data from 65 patients in four nursing homes. Participants were elderly individuals over 45 years old, residing in nursing homes, cooperatives, and willing to participate. Sample size determination was performed using G*power 3.1.9.7 software, with a medium effect size of 0.41, a p-value of 0.05, and a power of 0.90. Non-parametric tests were used for data analysis, employing the MNA-SF and Frailty Index Questionnaire-40 (FI-40) instruments. The average age of participants was 75.92 (+9.45) years, with the majority of the sample being elderly, and women constituted 80% of all participants. There was a significant correlation between nutritional status and frailty (p=0.005 <0.05), with a moderate negative relationship (r=-0.344). This research concluded that the better the nutritional status, the lower the frailty level. This research indicated that better nutritional status was linked to reduced frailty in the elderly, highlighting the need for healthcare teams to implement strategies that enhance patient adherence in managing factors that negatively affect nutrition.
