Abstract

Botox (botulinum toxin) is a commonly used aesthetic procedure to reduce facial wrinkles, especially in women of reproductive age. Although its physical benefits have been widely recognized, the effect of Botox on the psychological aspects and quality of life of patients still needs to be studied further. This study aims to analyze the impact of Botox use on the patient's skin condition, self-esteem, self-confidence, and quality of life psychologically, socially, and physically. This quantitative study involved 30 respondents selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire measuring the frequency of Botox use, dosage, and using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and WHOQOL-BREF to measure quality of life. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and Pearson correlation at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed a significant reduction in wrinkles and skin problems after Botox treatment (mean from 49% to 34%, p=0.003). There was a significant positive relationship between Botox use and self-esteem (r=0.45, p=0.012), self-confidence (r=0.38, p=0.025), and quality of life (r=0.62, p<0.001). These findings indicate that Botox has a positive effect not only on physical appearance, but also on the psychological aspects and overall quality of life of patients.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder with a rapidly increasing prevalence, often leading to serious complications such as diabetic ulcers, which significantly affect quality of life and increase healthcare costs. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus treated at Royal Prima Medan Hospital and to analyze the associated factors. Methods: This quantitative observational study employed a retrospective design and analyzed medical record data collected between 2021 and 2025. A total of 58 patients were selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test and ANOVA with a 95% confidence level. Results: The majority of the respondents were male (63.8%) and within the 56–65-year age group (34.5%). The most common skin condition was diabetic ulcers (82.8%), followed by diabetic bullae (12.1%) and viral infections (5.2%). The mean blood glucose level was 246.33 mg/dL, indicating hyperglycemia. Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between gender and skin disease type (p = 0.895) and no significant difference in blood glucose levels across types of skin disease (p = 0.135). Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between skin disease type and blood glucose levels, suggesting that clinical management should also address other behavioral and metabolic factors.
