Abstract

Aging is an inevitable biological process marked by a gradual decline in physiological function. This decline affects various organ systems, including the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems, and is accompanied by a reduced regenerative capacity, often leading to chronic diseases. The prevalence of chronic illness in individuals over the age of 65 is significant, reaching 60-70%. Anxiety frequently arises in older adults with chronic illnesses due to uncertainties about disease progression, dependence on caregivers, fears of death, and financial burdens associated with medical expenses. To aid older people in managing stress and anxiety, interventions such as autogenic training (AT) and relaxation therapy can be effective. This research employs a quantitative approach with a Pre-Experimental design, utilizing a one-group pre-post test methodology. This design includes an initial observation (pre-test) to evaluate changes following the intervention (post-test). The study involves primary data collected from 70 older adults participants who meet the inclusion criteria. The research instrument incorporates autogenic therapy procedures and employs the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) to assess anxiety levels. Data analysis is conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results reveal a significance value (p-value) of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference in anxiety levels before and after the implementation of autogenic relaxation-based distress management therapy. The negative Z value (-7.124) signifies a reduction in anxiety scores among the older adults y following the intervention. Therefore, older adults individuals with chronic diseases who experience anxiety are encouraged to engage in autogenic relaxation exercises to alleviate their anxiety.

Abstract

All people living with HIV (PLHIV), regardless of CD4 count or clinical stage, are eligible for immediate initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) under the Universal Test and Treat (UTT) approach. Although a high proportion of individuals have been tested, diagnosed, and initiated on ART, retention in HIV care remains a significant challenge. An exploratory qualitative study design was employed among PLHIV enrolled in the UTT programme in the Ekurhuleni District, located east of Johannesburg in Gauteng Province, South Africa. In-depth interviews were conducted with 26 PLHIV aged 18 years and older who had initiated ART and had been on treatment for at least 6–12 months. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, managed using NVivo version 12 software, and analysed thematically. Five major themes emerged regarding reasons for early ART initiation: (1) fears and doubts about starting ART, (2) motivation to initiate ART early, (3) anticipated benefits of early ART initiation, (4) perceptions of ART in comparison to basic needs and other treatments, and (5) perceptions regarding discontinuation of ART. The finding found that public awareness, continuous counselling and support for PLHIV are needed to increase UTT uptake and retain those already in HIV care.  Keywords: Benefits of starting ART, Fear, Motivation, Public Awareness

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. It is a chronic condition that cannot be cured but can be effectively managed. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measurement is the gold standard for long-term monitoring of blood sugar levels. This study aims to explore the relationship between HbA1c levels and the characteristics of diabetic patients.. The research employed a cross-sectional design at Mojowarno Christian Hospital in Jombang, conducted from November 2023 to January 2024. A total of 72 samples were collected using a purposive sampling technique. Data from questionnaires were analyzed using Spearman's Test and Multiple Logistic Regression Test. The findings indicate that education level, diabetes empowerment, quality of life of patients, and knowledge regarding DM are significantly associated with individual HbA1c values. Among these factors, education emerged as the most influential. Education plays a crucial role in influencing HbA1c levels in individuals with diabetes, highlighting the importance of knowledge and awareness in managing this condition effectively. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, HbA1C, education

Abstract

The Indonesian Health Survey in 2023 indicates that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia remains high, at approximately 21.5%. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of specific strategies designed to mitigate stunting in East Java Province. The research utilised secondary data, which was gathered ecologically. The study utilised a cross-sectional design, with the prevalence of stunting serving as the dependent variable and eleven distinct interventions as independent variables. The analysis revealed ten strategies that were found to be effective in mitigating stunting. These include anemia screening, iron tablet supplementation for adolescent girls, pregnancy examinations, iron tablet supplementation for pregnant women, supplementary nutrition for pregnant women with chronic energy deficiency, monitoring of toddler growth, exclusive breastfeeding, management of toddlers with nutritional deficiencies, enhancement of immunization coverage, and education for pregnant women and their families, including the promotion of open defecation-free practices. Conversely, the provision of supplemental diets rich in animal protein for toddlers was found to be ineffectual in diminishing the prevalence of stunting.  Keywords: Community nutritional status, East Java, Stunting, Specific intervention

Abstract

Natural tourism areas are highly vulnerable to disasters, making employees a crucial factor in ensuring visitor safety. One important mitigation strategy is the implementation of emergency drills, also known as emergency response exercises. However, the effectiveness of training in improving employee preparedness remains uncertain. This study aimed to analyzed the effect of emergency drills on self-readiness and emergency preparedness behavior among employees at Taman Dolan Nature Tourism, Batu City. A quantitative approach was used with a pretest-posttest design and Wilcoxon test analysis involving 14 respondents. The intervention consisted of theoretical education and practical simulations on Basic Life Support (CPR) and open wound management. The results showed an increase in the mean self-readiness knowledge score, but it was not statistically significant (p = 0.391). In contrast, emergency preparedness behavior showed a significant increase (p = 0.018), indicating that practical training was more effective in shaping behavioral responses than theoretical material alone. The insignificant change in knowledge may have been influenced by participants’ already high baseline knowledge, the short duration of training, and the limited sample size. This study concludes that emergency drills play an important role in shaping behavioral preparedness. For more optimal outcomes, training should be conducted continuously, tailored to the local context, and accompanied by long-term evaluation.  Keywords: Emergency Drills, Emergency Preparedness, Self Readiness, Taman Dolan
