Abstract

Type II Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that requires long-term management, one of which is medication adherence to maintain controlled blood glucose levels. Non-adherence to antidiabetic medication may lead to uncontrolled blood glucose levels and increase the risk of complications. This study aims to determine a correlation between medication adherence and blood glucose levels in patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus at Sawah Lebar Health Center, Bengkulu City in 2025. This study employed a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Medication adherence was measured using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) questionnaire, while blood glucose levels were measured through Random Blood Glucose (RBG) examination using a glucometer. The population of this study consisted of all patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus receiving treatment at Sawah Lebar Health Center, with a total sample of 49 respondents. The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of medication adherence, accounting for 21 respondents (42.9%). Based on the results of random blood glucose examinations, the majority of respondents had abnormal (high) blood glucose levels, totaling 35 respondents (71.4%). The statistical analysis using the Chi-Square test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant correlation between medication adherence and blood glucose levels among patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus at Sawah Lebar Health Center, Bengkulu City in 2025. The researchers recommend that the Health Center use the findings of this study as a reference to improve healthcare service programs, particularly in enhancing medication adherence to support normal blood glucose levels among patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Of the total number of chronic kidney failure patients, only 25% receive treatment, and only 12.5% of those are effectively treated. This study aims to determine the effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) on fatigue levels in patients with chronic kidney failure at RSHD Bengkulu City in 2025. This research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The sampling technique used was proportionate stratified random sampling, with a total sample of 71 patients with chronic kidney failure. Univariate analysis before the PMR intervention showed that the majority of respondents (54.9%) experienced severe fatigue, while after the intervention, most respondents (59.2%) experienced mild fatigue. Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant effect of PMR on fatigue levels in patients with chronic kidney failure (p = 0.000). The study concludes that progressive muscle relaxation has a significant impact on reducing fatigue in chronic kidney failure patients. It is recommended that patients practice PMR regularly as a non-pharmacological method to reduce fatigue caused by hemodialysis

Abstract

Health-related behavioral issues among preschool-aged children are generally closely linked to personal hygiene. Epidemiologically, the spread of diseases resulting from a lack of healthy behaviors among preschool children in Indonesia remains quite high, such as dengue fever, diarrhea, intestinal parasites, Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), hand-foot-mouth disease, measles, chickenpox, mumps, eye infections, and ear infections. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between parenting styles and personal hygiene independence among preschool children at TK Seven Smart Pendopo Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir in 2025. The research method used was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique employed total sampling, with a sample size of 31 preschool children from Classes A and B at TK Seven Smart Pendopo Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir in 2025. The results of the univariate analysis showed that a small proportion of respondents (22.6%) had an authoritarian parenting style, while the majority of respondents (61.3%) exhibited low personal hygiene independence. The bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between parenting style and personal hygiene independence in preschool children (p = 0.001). There is a relationship between the level of parenting style and personal hygiene independence among preschool children at TK Seven Smart Pendopo Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir in 2025. The researcher recommends that the study site, the school, utilize these findings to develop guidance and counseling programs for parents regarding parenting styles that can support students’ independence in maintaining personal hygiene.

Abstract

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), as cited by the Indonesian Ministry of Health (2018), hypertension is a silent killer, as its symptoms vary widely among individuals and often resemble those of other diseases. Muara Enim Public Health Center (Puskesmas Muara Enim) is the only public health center located in Muara Enim District. Out of a total population of 72,930 residents in Muara Enim City, there are individuals aged over 18 years suffering from hypertension within the service area of Puskesmas Muara Enim. In 2024, the number of hypertension patient visits recorded at Puskesmas Muara Enim reached 524 cases.The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between family support and elderly individuals’ knowledge about hypertension and their adherence to routine control visits at Puskesmas Muara Enim. This study employed an analytical research design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all elderly patients with hypertension who received health services at Puskesmas Muara Enim in 2024, based on medical records, totaling 200 individuals. Sampling was conducted using an accidental sampling technique, resulting in a sample size of 100 respondents. The results of the study indicate a significant relationship between family support regarding hypertension and adherence to routine control visits at Puskesmas Muara Enim in 2025, with a statistical value of 6.326 and a p-value of 0.042. In addition, there is a significant relationship between elderly individuals’ knowledge about hypertension and adherence to routine control visits at Puskesmas Muara Enim in 2025, with a statistical value of 16.777 and a p-value of 0.002. The findings of this study are expected to enhance insight and scientific knowledge regarding the relationship between family support and elderly individuals’ knowledge about hypertension in relation to adherence to routine control visits. These findings may contribute to enriching the literature in the field of nursing. This is in line with the vision of the Faculty of Health Sciences (FIKes) at Universitas Dehasen Bengkulu to continuously develop research that is relevant to the health sector.
