Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance or insufficient insulin secretion. The rising global prevalence of DM has led to increased interest in alternative therapies, including herbal remedies such as guava leaf decoction, which is believed to possess hypoglycemic properties. Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of guava leaf decoction in reducing blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across four databases—PubMed, ProQuest, Garuda, and JSTOR—for studies published between 2020 and 2024. Inclusion criteria were studies involving diabetic patients receiving guava leaf decoction as an intervention, with outcomes measured in terms of blood glucose levels using glucometers. The selection and quality appraisal of studies were independently performed by two to three reviewers, following the PRISMA guidelines. The CASP checklist was used for methodological quality assessment. Extracted data included study authors, intervention details, facilitators, setting, session frequency, duration, and delivery method. Results: Eight eligible studies comprising a total of 229 participants were included. The findings consistently demonstrated that guava leaf decoction significantly reduced blood glucose levels. Effective regimens included twice-daily administration for 7 days or once daily (250 ml) for 14 days. Benefits were observed in both diabetic and obese individuals. Conclusion: Guava leaf decoction shows potential as a complementary therapy in the management of diabetes mellitus by naturally lowering blood glucose levels. Further clinical trials are recommended to confirm its efficacy and safety.

Abstract

Introduction: Gout pain is a common issue among the elderly, caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to discomfort and limited mobility. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum), known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, has been studied as a potential natural treatment for alleviating gout pain. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) decoction in reducing gout pain among the elderly. Method: A systematic review search was conducted across four journal databases: PubMed, ProQuest, Garuda, and JSTOR, covering the period from 2019 to 2024. The population involved in the studies consisted of elderly individuals diagnosed with gout. The intervention analyzed in this review was the administration of clove decoction, while pain as the primary outcome was measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). The uric acid levels, as a secondary outcome, were assessed using a GCU meter. Two to three independent reviewers conducted the search, selection, extraction, and quality assessment of the identified articles. The selection process followed the PRISMA flowchart standards, while the quality of the articles was evaluated using the CASP checklist. The extracted data included key aspects such as author, intervention, facilitators, setting, number of sessions, duration, methods or media used, as well as the topics discussed in each study. Result: Of the five articles identified, a total of 95 participants were involved. The administration of clove decoction significantly reduced pain intensity due to its higher eugenol content, which was given orally (consumed) and via warm compress. The intervention was administered for 5-7 days, while the warm compress was applied for 15-20 minutes. The duration of this intervention allowed sufficient time for the eugenol content in cloves to act as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic, resulting in a more optimal therapeutic effect. Conclusion: The administration of clove decoction is a non-pharmacological therapy that demonstrates a significant impact in reducing gout pain. It may serve as a supportive alternative in pain management, reducing the use of analgesics, and improving the quality of life with minimal side effects.

Abstract

Introduction: Academic stress during the final year of study, particularly during the preparation of culminating reports or theses, is a well-documented phenomenon. Although family support is often posited as a protective factor, empirical evidence regarding its specific impact remains limited. This study addresses this gap by examining the relationship between perceived family support and stress levels among pharmacy students at STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis engaged in final report preparation. The research aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how family dynamics influence academic stress within this particular context. Objective: To examine the association between perceived family support and stress levels among final-semester students during final report preparation. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted from March to May 2024 at STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis involving 33 final-semester Pharmacy students. Data were collected via a validated online questionnaire assessing family support (16 items) and stress levels (14 items) using a 4-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Most respondents experiencing moderate to very severe stress reported having supportive families. However, statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between family support and stress levels (p = 0.177). Conclusion: There is no significant association between perceived family support and academic stress. These findings suggest that other internal and academic factors may play a greater role in influencing student stress during final report writing.
