Abstract

Diabetes mellitus ( DM) is chronic metabolic disease that May lead to various microvascular and macrovascular complications . One of the common complications involves the lower extremities , including diabetic peripheral neuropathy , peripheral artery disease , diabetic foot ulcers , infection , impaired wound healing , and amputation . The duration of diabetes is considered to be associated with an increased risk of these complications due to prolonged exposure to hyperglycemia and progressive nerve and vascular damage .This article aimed to analyze the influence of diabetes mellitus duration on the occurrence of lower extremity disorders based on available scientific evidence .This article used literature​ review approach by examining scientific publications and clinical guidelines addressing the relationship between diabetes duration and peripheral neuropathy , peripheral artery disease , diabetic foot ulcers , and lower extremity complications .A longer duration of diabetes is generally associated with an increased risk of lower extremity disorders . Prolonged exposure to hyperglycemia May contribute to peripheral nerve damage , microvascular dysfunction , atherosclerosis , and impaired tissue perfusion . Neuropathy causes loss of protective sensation , allowing foot injuries to remain unnoticed , while peripheral artery disease impairs wound healing . The combination of neuropathy , impaired perfusion , foot deformity , and infection May increase the risk of ulceration and amputation . However , diabetes duration is not the only determinant , as glycemic control , age , hypertension , dyslipidemia , smoking , obesity , chronic kidney disease , and a history of ulceration or amputation also contribute . The longer a person has diabetes, the greater the potential risk of lower extremity complications , particularly when risk factors are poorly controlled and foot examinations are inadequate . Early detection and continuous preventive management are essential .

Abstract

Shifts are part of the work scheduling system in 24-hour hospitals, including the Emergency Department (ER). Night shift work can potentially cause physical and mental fatigue and reduce nurses' concentration, which can impact the quality of care and patient safety. This study aims to analyze the effect of night shifts on nurses' fatigue levels and concentration in the ER of X Regional General Hospital. The study used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. A purposive sample of 60 nurses was selected, with at least 6 months of work experience in the ER and willingness to participate in the study. Data were collected using a Modified Variable Response Questionnaire (MOQ) Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) to measure fatigue and Work Concentration Scale (WCS) for work concentration. Data analysis used Pearson correlation with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the study showed a significant positive relationship between night shift work and nurse fatigue levels (r = 0.68; p < 0.05) and a significant negative relationship between night shift work and work concentration (r = -0.62; p < 0.05). This indicates that the more frequently nurses work night shifts, the higher their fatigue levels and the lower their work concentration. In conclusion, night shifts increase fatigue and decrease concentration among nurses in the emergency department. Equitable shift schedules and fatigue management programs are recommended to maintain nurse performance and service quality.
