Abstract

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis often experience anxiety. The response made by patients in facing anxiety can involve adaptive coping mechanisms or maladaptive coping mechanisms. The difference in these abilities affects the level of anxiety experienced by patients. The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between coping mechanisms and anxiety levels in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis at Dr. M Djamil Padang General Hospital. Methods: The research method is quantitative with a cross-sectional study design. The analysis used is Spearman's correlation. The sample in the study consisted of 134 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection utilized the Brief COPE Questionnaire to assess coping mechanisms and the Zung Self Rating Anxiety Scale (ZSAS) Questionnaire to assess anxiety. Results: Based on the research results, the median value of coping mechanisms is 58.00, indicating maladaptive coping mechanisms, while the median value for anxiety is 62.00, indicating a moderate level of anxiety in patients. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between coping mechanisms and anxiety in patients undergoing hemodialysis, with an average correlation strength and a negative direction (p-value = 0.000 and r = -0.506), meaning that the lower the coping mechanisms, the higher the anxiety experienced by hemodialysis patients. Conclusion: Promotive and preventive efforts are needed to address anxiety in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Healthcare professionals can contribute to this by conducting health education activities on anxiety management and coping mechanisms.Keywords: Anxiety, Coping Mechanisms, Hemodialysis

In detail, anemia in children aged 5 to 14 years is 26.8%, aged 15 to 24 years is 32%, meaning that 3 out of 10 people experience anemia. The impact of anemia if it occurs in adolescent girls and women of childbearing age is decreased body endurance, decreased fitness and agility of thinking, as well as decreased learning achievement and work productivity/performance. This research aims to find out the effect of consuming boiled chicken eggs and honey on adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia.

The instrument used was an observation sheet, a tool for measuring Hb levels using an Hb Meter (Easytouch GCHb Model ET-321).  The researcher carried out bivariate analysis, namely using the paired T test. Results: The average Hb in the first measurement (pretest) was 11.46 gr/dL, with a standard deviation of 0.32 gr/dL. In the second measurement (posttest), an average Hb level was found to be 11.73 gr/dL, with a standard deviation of 0.31 gr/dL. It can be seen that the mean difference between the first and second measurements is 0.26, with a standard deviation of 0.34. Conclusion: The statistical test results obtained a value of 0.014, so it can be concluded that there was a significant difference between the HB levels of the first and second measurements at Sriwijaya Junior High School, Palembang, South Sumatra.Pengaruh Konsumsi Telur Ayam Rebus dan Madu Pada Remaja Puteri dengan Anemia Defisiensi Zat Besi

Increased TB transmission due to poor health care functions for families with pulmonary TB. Providing health education is an effort to increase family awareness so the aim of this research is to determine the effect of health education on the health care function of families with pulmonary TB. This study used a descriptive design, namely a case report, on 1 family with pulmonary TB problems for 10 days and a health education intervention with a family health care function approach. After health education was carried out, there was an increase in knowledge and good behavior in families regarding the care and prevention of pulmonary TB transmission so that the family's health care function also showed a corresponding increase. In conclusion, health education can influence the function of family health care in the treatment and prevention of pulmonary TB because good knowledge shows good behavioral changes accompanied by family confidence and awareness to improve the health status of the family together.

Abstract

Hyperglycemia and stress conditions are some of the problems often found in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients that can worsen the patient's condition. One of the non- pharmacological therapies that can be done to reduce and control blood glucose levels and stress is progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). The implementation of PMR is to determine the effect of PMR therapy on blood sugar levels and stress in patients with type 2 diabetes. The implementation of PMR therapy was carried out for six days every day for 15-30 minutes. Blood sugar levels were measured with a glucometer, and stress was measured with the DASS-42 questionnaire. The results on blood sugar levels was known before the implementation of PMR were 173 mg/dL, while after it was done that blood sugar levels were 98 mg/dL. Furthermore, based on the results of the DASS-42 questionnaire, the patient's stress score before the implementation of PMR was 21, and the stress score after the application of PMR was 15. The results of the implementation of PMR actions showed that PMR therapy is effective in reducing and controlling blood sugar and stress levels of patients with type 2 diabetes, so it can be recommended to patients with type 2 diabetes to apply PMR as additional non-pharmacological therapy to control blood sugar and stress.Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, progressive muscle relaxation, blood glucose, stress

Abstract

Background: Chronic Renal Failure is a progressive irreversible deterioration in renal function in which the body’s power to maintain metabolic, fluid, and electrolyte balance fails, resulting in uremia which contributes to the patient's dependence upon hemodialysis for the maintenance of the internal milieu and to avoid uremia. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are characterized by low levels of physical activity and a continuous decline in physical function. The main aim of the study was to assess the effect of structured nursing intervention on treatment adherence among patients with end-stage renal disease in Kano Metropolis. Methods: This study utilized a two-group pretest-post-test quasi-experimental design. Patients receiving dialysis care at Muhammadu Abdullahi Wase Teaching Hospital and Abubakar Imam Urology Hospital were purposively selected as experimental and control groups respectively. A total of 422 participants were estimated and selected for the study and equally shared among the two groups, i.e. 211 for the control and 211 for the experimental group. All statistical data were analyzed and described using simple frequencies, Chi-square, T-test and regressions. Results: Regarding treatment adherence, the pre-intervention mean score was 52.9 and 50.00, and the post-intervention score was 73.2 and 54.6 in the intervention and control groups, respectively. The effectiveness of the intervention was tested using unpaired t-test which was found to be significantly effective (p<0.005). Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study, the structured nursing intervention was effective in improving the level of knowledge regarding the disease and treatment adherence (p<0.005) among patients with end-stage renal disease in the Kano metropolis. It is therefore recommended that the nephrology nurses, hospital administrators, and the general public join hands to make the services accessible and affordable to these patients to maintain their normal life activities through good adherence to the treatment regimen.
