Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by increased blood glucose levels known as hyperglycemia. This disease can be diagnosed by examining HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin). Hemoglobin A1c is a minor component of hemoglobin related to glucose. Meanwhile, galectin-3 is a protein encoded in humans by the LGALS3 gene. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between HbA1c and serum galectin-3 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. This study was conducted using an observational analysis technique with a cross-sectional study design. This research was conducted at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory, Hasanuddin University State University Hospital, and Laboratorium Universitas Hasanuddin Medical Research Center State College Hospital Universitas Hasanuddin Makassar. This research was conducted from January to March 2023. The population in this study were all patients with type 2 DM who visited the Hasanuddin University Hospital (RSPTN-UH) for treatment a total of 112 patients. Research sampling technique with non-probability purposive sampling. The sample of this study was 60 patients. Data analysis with the Independent T-test or Mann-Whitney test. The results of the study were that serum Galectin-3 levels in uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus had a higher average value of 20.18 ± 6.15 ng/mL compared to controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus, namely 14.80 ± 6.41 ng/ mL although there was a statistically significant difference (p=0.012) but no significant correlation was found between HbA1c and serum Galectin-3 levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects (r=0.176 p=0.179) with the distribution of data in the Scatterplot not forming a linear relationship pattern. It is recommended that type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients carry out an HbA1c examination as an effective test to control glucose levels, reduce the risk of complications, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid type 2 DM.Keyword: HbA1c, Serum Galectin-3, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Background: Efforts to reduce stigma and discrimination are important factors in efforts to reduce HIV cases, especially mortality, and increase the treatment rate for PLHIV. Objective: This study aimed to obtain evidence of efforts to reduce stigma and discrimination in healthcare facilities Methods: This research is a Mix Methods study. The population was HIV/AIDS patients in the Puger and Kencong areas. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The variables included the level of discrimination, medication adherence, and stigma reduction strategies. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, and qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis. Results: the level of discrimination felt by PLHIV is 100% which is low. While the level of adherence to taking medication for the majority of PLHIV is classified as high, namely 69.7%. The success in reducing stigma and discrimination in health services is influenced by factors that accompany PLHIV and health workers, where assistants always help PLHIV in carrying out examinations, and officers are also friendly to PLHIV, so this is what can make discrimination experienced by PLHIV low. Conclusion: Success in reducing stigma and discrimination in healthcare facilities was proven by high adherence to taking medication, and the low level of discrimination experienced by PLHIV.Keywords:  PLHIV, HIV/AIDS, discrimination, stigma, strategy

Abstract

Stress was recognized internationally as a work hazard for nurses, but effective coping can prevent work stress. Religious coping is the type of emotional coping that is widely used by nurses. A compilation of studies related to the role of religious coping in nurses’ work-related stress is still limited. The purpose of this scoping review is to determine the use of religious coping technique in nurses and its impact on stress. Methods: This scoping review was carried out following the PRISMA Statement recommendations checklist, Items for Systematic Reviews, and Meta-Analyses—Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-SCR). Databases for literature searching were SCOPUS, Springer Link, and Science Direct. The search strategy was (nurse or nursing) and (religious or spiritual) and coping and (job stress or work stress or occupational stress). Only original research articles, published within the last 10 years, in English or Indonesian, free full-text availability, and focusing on nurses’ religious coping synthesized by the authors. Result: A total of 14 articles have been included in the review. 10 out of 11 articles stated that nurses used religious coping. 2 of 2 articles that analyzed the relationship between religiosity and distress stated there was a significant relationship. 2 of 3 articles that analyzed the relationship between religious coping and distress stated there was no significant relationship, and 1 article stated they were significantly related. Conclusion: Religious coping is an emotional coping method commonly used by nurses to reduce stress. Religiosity is a resource for preventing work stress in nurses. There are variations in the results of the relationship between religious coping and stress in nurses. Variations in results can be caused by the type of stressor, level of religiosity, and indicators of religiosity. Future research needs to analyze how the types of stressors and religiosity affect religious coping.  Keyword: Nurse, Religious Coping, Work Stress

Abstract

According to the International Diabetes Federation, 537 million people are currently living with diabetes. There are 316 million people with impaired glucose tolerance at high risk, an alarming number expected to reach 783 million people by 2045. Society's tendency to return to nature is a prospective condition for developing research on biodiversity-based plants. Based on the research results, tamarind leaves are rich in flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, and saffron contains the active compounds crocin, crocetin, and precision, which can be candidates for antioxidants that have a significant effect on blood glucose levels. This antidiabetic research includes research live (test animals) by measuring blood glucose levels. The results showed that tamarind leaf extract and saffron were effective as antidiabetics in male mice induced with Streptozotocin. All extract groups tested single doses of EDAJ, ES, and combination doses of EDAJ and ES ((75:25), (50:50) (25:75)) showed the potential to reduce blood sugar levels >50%. The ES group with a single dose of 100:0 showed significant effectiveness in reducing blood sugar levels from the 6th day until the end of the study. These results are then expected to provide information to the public regarding the potency, effective dose, and working mechanism of using tamarind and saffron as antidiabetics so that they can be a solution to improve the quality of life of diabetes patients, control non-communicable diseases and reduce treatment costs.  Keywords: Crocus sativus, Diabetes mellitus,  Mus musculus, Saffron, Tamarind leaf

Abstract

Scabies is an infectious disease that affects all races and groups worldwide but is more common in children and young adults. Meta-analysis found that occupancy density, temperature, light, clean water, ventilation, gender, personal hygiene, knowledge, and contact with sufferers were risk factors for scabies in adolescents living in Islamic boarding schools. Research is needed by identifying close contact cases in the community, especially in high-risk groups such as students who live in dormitories. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the incidence of scabies in young women at the Makrifatul Ilmi Islamic Boarding School, South Bengkulu Regency. The research design was cross-sectional, with the dependent variable being knowledge, age, personal hygiene, and environmental sanitation, while the dependent variable was the incidence of scabies. A sample of 50 teenagers was taken by accidental sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire and an observation sheet. Data were analyzed univariately with frequency distribution tables, bivariate with chi-square, and multivariate logistic regression. The study's results found a relationship between gender and scabies, p=0.00, and there was a relationship between knowledge and scabies, p=0.00. There is a relationship between personal hygiene and scabies p=0.00. There is a relationship between environmental sanitation and scabies p=0.00. Environmental sanitation is the most dominant risk factor associated with scabies. Health service providers must work with non-health workers, including pesantren supervisors, parents, health workers, and health cadres, in conducting education, prevention, and treatment to ensure mite elimination and break the transmission.Keyword:  Sanitation, Personal hygiene, Scabies knowledge
