Abstract

Cancer is the most common chronic disease worldwide, with cervical cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and skin cancer being the most prevalent. Breast cancer ranks second globally after lung cancer. Patients diagnosed with breast cancer undergo changes in their physical, sexual, social, and daily life activities, affecting their overall life quality. One crucial factor that can enhance the life quality for patients is the support from their families, which is a pivotal determinant for individual well-being. To determine the differences in the life quality among breast cancer patients with high and low family support and to analyze the correlation between family support and the breast cancer patients life quality. This study employed a quantitative analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted at Haji Adam Malik Central General Hospital from August to October 2023. The study population included all stage I and II breast cancer patients, totaling 205 outpatient individuals from March to April 2022, with a sample size of 66. Simple random sampling was utilized for participant selection. Data collection involved questionnaire interviews. Data analysis comprised two steps: first, univariate analysis using descriptive and frequency statistics, and second, bivariate analysis using Pearson's test and independent t-test with a significance level of 95% (p-value ≤ 0.05). Statistical results indicated a significant difference in the life quality between breast cancer patients with high and low family support (p=0.037). It was concluded that there is a significantive correlation between family support and the breast cancer patients life quality (p=0.001; r=-0.644). Family support is crucial for patients facing chronic diseases such as breast cancer. It is recommended that families strive to enhance their support to ensure patients' comfort during treatment and therapy programs, ultimately improving the breast cancer patients life quality.  Keyword: Breast Cancer, Family, Life Quality

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are one of the main priorities in the world of health. As the world population soars, deaths from NCDs will increase every year. Globally, there are 41 million cases or the equivalent of 74% of deaths caused by NCDs every year. This research is a type of quantitative research with a cross-sectional type of research conducted on a group of fisherman in Paluh Sibaji Village. This research was carried out on September 21 2023. The population in this research was all fisherman in Paluh Sibaji Village, totaling 200 hundred fisherman. The sampling method used in this research was convenience sampling with a total of 60 fisherman respondents. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence fisherman's blood pressure on the incidence of hypertension (HTN). This research uses multiple linear regression analysis and application analysis using the Statistical Program for Social Sciences tools. The significance value of the consumption pattern, knowledge and attitude variables is below p<0.05, so it can be concluded that consumption pattern, knowledge and attitude influence the incidence of HTN among fisherman in Paluh Sibaji village. This study revealed that the majority of respondents, especially those belonging to the risk group, had experienced HTN. Age at risk was found to have a 2.26% higher likelihood of developing HTN. A large number of respondents showed poor consumption patterns, good knowledge, negative attitudes, and poor behavior regarding HTN prevention. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions and awareness campaigns to address these factors and reduce the risk of HTN in the studied population. It is recommended that further research discuss more broadly the factors that can influence the increase in blood pressure in fisherman and conduct a detailed food recall to assess the impact of consumption on HTN. Keywords: Attitude, Consumption pattern , Fisherman, HTN,  Knowledge
