Abstract

Sleep difficulties are prevalent among adolescents and can impact physical and mental health, along with academic performance. Prior research has demonstrated a correlation between sleep hygiene, a set of measures designed to create a regular sleep regimen, and sleep problems. This study seeks to ascertain the correlation between sleep hygiene and sleep problems in teenagers. This study employed a quantitative research design utilizing a cross-sectional technique and was done with 50 adolescents at a school in Tangerang. The sampling was conducted with a simple random sampling method facilitated by a spinner program. Data were collected by the administration of the Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI) and the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and subsequently analyzed utilizing a chi-square test. The findings indicated a correlation between sleep hygiene and sleep problems in teenagers (α = 0.008). A significant proportion of respondents exhibited inadequate sleep hygiene and sleep disorders, with rates of 86% and 80%, respectively. The psychological state of teenagers transitioning to adulthood also influences sleep hygiene and sleep disorders. Parents, educators, and school health professionals must educate teenagers about managing sleep disorders through the enhancement of sleep hygiene practices.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose due to impaired glucose uptake or insulin production. This condition can lead to complications, namely diabetic foot ulcers. Handling diabetic foot wounds can be done by doing activities such as foot exercises. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of diabetic foot exercises using video in reducing the risk of foot wounds in patients with type 2 DM. The research method was quasi-experiment with pretest-postest with control group. Sampling using purposive sampling technique. A total of 64 participants were enrolled and divided into an intervention group (n = 32) and a control group (n = 32); the intervention group performed diabetic foot exercises using video guidance for 3 weeks, three times per week, with a duration of 10 minutes per session. Measurements were made with ABI and monofilament test before and after intervention. The data analysis used was the Independent T-Test test. The was that the Monofilament of the right foot and left foot has a P-Value of 0.001 as well as the ABI value data on the right foot has a P-Value of 0.002 and the left foot P-Value of 0.001. Diabetic foot exercises with video media are proven to be effective in reducing the risk of diabetic foot wounds in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. For future research, we recommend a longer study duration to allow for a larger sample size and the analysis of additional relevant variables

Abstract

Physical bullying in school-age children hurts emotional development and self-regulation skills. Self-awareness and self-management are two core competencies in building children's psychological resilience. However, contextually relevant measurement instruments remain limited. This study aimed to develop and validate a culturally appropriate instrument to measure self-awareness dan self-management in school-age children based on the CASEL framework. A Research and Development (R&D) approach was employed, involving indicator development grounded in relevant theory and literature, content validity assessment by two experts (a pediatric nursing expert in child pyschosocial development and an educational psychology expert in psychosocial measurement), and psychometric testing. The instrument was tested on 210 children aged 9-11 years. Construct validity was examined using Exploratory Factor Analysis, and internal consistency reliability was assessed using Cronbach's Alpha. The final isntrument comprises 58 valid and reliable items grouped into two main constructs and ten underlying factors. This instrument is suitable for further application in assessing self-awareness and self-management among school-age children who experience bullying.

Abstract

Patients with peritoneal abscesses who are immobilized are at risk of decubitus ulcer. Various complications in patients such as malnutrition and anaemia in patients cause a decrease in body immunity, causing a high risk of decubitus ulcers and difficulty in wound healing. Massage using Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) and repositioning are combined interventions to reduce the risk and healing of decubitus ulcers. The study aims to determine the results of massage using VCO and repositioning patients with decubitus ulcers in healing and efforts to prevent decubitus ulcer effectively. The study is a case report of the application of massage using VCO and repositioning in a patient with decubitus ulcer with intraperitoneal abscess, pneumonia, malnutrition, and anaemia at Sumedang Regional Hospital. The patient is a 33-year-old woman with grade 2 decubitus ulcers in the sacrum area which appeared red, serum, skin peeling, and shallow holes. The patient was selected for treatment due to the decubitus ulcers, high risk of decubitus ulcers, and the absence of any interventions. Massage with VCO and repositioning were performed twice daily for 6 days. The interventions were carried out consistently by researchers, nurses, patients, and their families. There were a decrease in degree 2 to degree 1 in the patient’s sacrum decubitus ulcers after massage using VCO and repositioning.

Abstract

Fatigue is a common and persistent symptom in patients with tuberculosis (TB), particularly in recurrent cases and when accompanied by pneumonia. Increased systemic inflammation and reduced activity tolerance often lead to functional decline, while pharmacological treatment alone may not sufficiently address fatigue. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a non-pharmacological intervention that reduces muscle tension and stress, support physiological recovery. This study describes the effect of PMR to reduce fatigue in a patient with recurrent tuberculosis and pneumonia. This study is a case review involving a 65-year-old female patient diagnosed with pulmonary TB and pneumonia. PMR was administered over four consecutive days, with one session lasting 15–20 minutes per session. The sessions were conducted at varying times, including in the morning, afternoon, or before bedtime. Fatigue levels were measured after each session using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) Scale. The patient showed improvement in vital signs, with blood pressure increasing from 108/65 mmHg to 116/61 mmHg, heart rate decreasing from 111 to 62 beats per minute, and the FACIT-F score improved from 12 (severe fatigue) to 36 (mild fatigue), indicating a reduction in fatigue severity. Functionally, the patient was able to walk to the bathroom independently and no longer experienced weakness or dyspnea post-activity. These findings indicate that PMR contributed to a reduction in the patient’s fatigue level. This intervention has potential as a supportive rehabilitative strategy, with adjustments in duration and frequency based on patient condition.

Abstract

Spinal anesthesia is among the most often employed regional anaesthetic procedures in perioperative clinical practice. Notwithstanding its multiple benefits, including swift onset of action and effective pain management, this approach remains associated with the potential for post-procedural problems that may affect patient recovery and the quality of anesthesia care. This study aimed to delineate the numerous common problems that arise following spinal anesthesia in adults, utilising findings from current studies via a scoping review methodology. This research employed a scoping review methodology in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR criteria. Fifteen articles were retrieved from the PubMed, Scopus, and Garuda databases utilising pertinent keywords within the publication period of 2020–2025. The inclusion criteria comprised full-text papers authored in either Indonesian or English that addressed issues following spinal anesthesia. Fifteen publications were selected and analysed according to their objectives, methodologies, populations, and findings. The research identified that the most commonly reported problems comprised hypotension, bradycardia, post-dural puncture headache, nausea, shivering, urine retention, and modest neurological sequelae. Factors influencing the occurrence of problems encompass gender, age, hydration condition, technique, and the utilisation of spinal needles. The majority of issues are temporary and can be addressed with supportive or pharmaceutical measures. Complications following spinal anesthesia are prevalent and should be anticipated in the practice of anaesthesiology nursing. A comprehensive grasp of problem types and their associated risk factors might enhance nurse anaesthetists’ efficacy in monitoring, patient education, and post-anesthesia treatment. This study underscores the necessity of enhancing clinical practice standards and education to reduce adverse occurrences

Abstract

Dietary education in thalassemia major is often neglected due to high nursing workloads. This case report evaluates a structured dietary education intervention using management frameworks to address this gap. The methods are a descriptive study was conducted on a family with three siblings diagnosed with thalassemia major and severe hyperferritinemia. The 3M (Man, Method, Material) analysis identified primary barriers: high procedural workload, lack of SOPs, and absence of educational media. Consequently, a POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling) intervention using digital videos and leaflets was implemented to overcome these constraints. The results that the intervention effectively bypassed clinical time constraints. Family health literacy improved substantially, with dietary knowledge scores increasing from 2 out of 5 to a perfect 5 out of 5, sustained over a five month follow-up. Behavioral changes in meal preparation were reported, although immediate serum ferritin reduction was not yet observed. Structured education utilizing digital media effectively bridges the gap between patient needs and limited nursing resources. Integrating digital tools into routine practice and establishing SOPs are recommended to ensure comprehensive management and improve long-term patient outcomes.
