Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM type 2) is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by elevated blood glucose due to insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. Its prevalence continues to rise worldwide, including in Indonesia. Psychological stress is known to worsen glycemic control by activating the sympathetic nervous system and increasing cortisol levels, which can cause fluctuations in blood glucose. This case report aims to describe the effect of combining Benson relaxation techniques with warm foot soaking on blood glucose regulation in a type 2 DM patient. The subject was Mrs. M, a 52-year-old woman diagnosed with type 2 DM. The intervention was conducted for seven consecutive days and consisted of daily Benson relaxation followed by warm foot soaking for 15–20 minutes. Blood glucose levels were measured before and after each session using a glucometer and analyzed descriptively. After seven days, the patient’s blood glucose level decreased from 248 mg/dL to 186 mg/dL. She also reported improved relaxation, better sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and decreased fatigue. These findings suggest that Benson relaxation helps activate the parasympathetic response and reduce stress hormones, while warm foot soaking supports improved circulation and metabolic processes. In conclusion, the combination of Benson relaxation and warm foot soaking is a simple, safe, and effective complementary therapy to support blood glucose regulation in type 2 DM patients. This intervention can be integrated into self-care routines and community nursing practice as part of evidence-based non-pharmacological management.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting in Indonesia is a serious health problem, with a prevalence of 24.1%. This condition risks threatening the quality of life of the nation's next generation due to linear growth disorders caused by malnutrition and inadequate nutritional intake. One of the main causes of high stunting rates is the lack of maternal knowledge about stunting itself. Therefore, increasing mothers' knowledge about stunting is very necessary, and one of the effective methods is to use visual-based educational media. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the effect of card challenge, a visual-based educational media, on increasing maternal knowledge about stunting. Methods: This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a one group pre-post test design method. The sample used in this study is 50 mothers who have toddlers. Before and after the intervention in the form of card challenge, mothers' knowledge of stunting was measured and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistical test to assess significant changes. Results: The results showed that there was a significant increase in maternal knowledge after being given a card challenge game with a value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). This indicates that the intervention using card challenge games has succeeded in significantly increasing mothers' understanding of stunting. Conclusions: Card challenge games have proven to be effective in increasing mothers' knowledge about stunting, providing a positive impact on stunting prevention efforts. This study emphasizes the importance of a creative approach in health education that can be accepted and applied by the wider community, especially for mothers with toddlers. This intervention is expected to be a broader model in accelerating the reduction of stunting rates in Indonesia.
