Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes in people's lives, especially for patients with chronic diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Consistent diet management is an important component of DM control, but the pandemic situation presents new challenges. This study aims to explore the experiences of DM patients in managing their diet during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, questionnaires, and observations of seven purposively selected type 2 DM patients. The results of the study showed that the majority of patients had difficulty maintaining a regular diet due to limited access to healthy food, psychological pressure, and changes in daily routines. Family support helps maintain dietary discipline, while nutritional counseling services have been very limited during the pandemic. The average score of the questionnaire showed low consistency in the consumption of vegetables and fruits, as well as the low frequency of nutritional consultations. Observations of the home environment also show the dominance of instant food and a lack of healthy meal planning. In conclusion, the pandemic exacerbated the dietary management challenges in DM patients. Community-based interventions, sustainable nutrition education, and family involvement are needed to support effective management of DM in times of crisis.

Abstract

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, with an ever-increasing incidence. Based on GLOBOCAN 2022 data, more than 20 million new cases of cancer and 9.7 million deaths were recorded globally, with a projected increase of up to 28.4 million cases by 2040. This study aims to explore and describe the subjective experience of patients in dealing with chemotherapy side effects in the Oncology Installation of Hospital X. The method used is a qualitative research with a descriptive phenomenological design, involving 15 patients who meet the inclusion criteria. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and semi-structured questionnaires. The results showed that nausea and vomiting were the most common side effects (93%, severity score 7.8), followed by fatigue (87%, 8.2) and hair loss (80%, 6.5). Family support has been shown to affect patients' ability to manage symptoms, while limited pre-chemotherapy education and the number of clinical pharmacists are barriers to treatment. In conclusion, the treatment of chemotherapy patients requires a holistic approach based on patient-centered care that integrates physical, psychological, and social aspects, as well as strengthening education and clinical pharmacy services to improve the patient's quality of life during therapy.
