Abstract

Cancer is a complex disease associated with a wide range of symptoms, declining quality of life, and financial toxicity (FT).To examine the quality of life and symptoms management in Cancer patients experiencing financial toxicity based on a review of published literature.A systematic review was conducted using five databases: Sage Journals, Science Direct, ProQuest, Clinical Key, and Oxford Academic from 2015-2025 years with keywords Quality of Life, Symptom Management and Cancer Patients. The quality of studies was assessed depending on the study design of the 1,050 articles found, only 11 were reviewed. Findings from 11 studies indicated that the quality of life in cancer patients is influenced by multiple factors. Financial toxicity showed a negative correlation with quality of life (r =0.23, p = 0.0057), indicating that higher levels of financial toxicity are associated with lower quality of life. Psychological symptoms such US anxiety and depression were positively associated with FT (r = 0.27, p = 0.0151; r = 0.18, p = 0.0336). High symptom burden, both physical and psychological, significantly reduced quality of life, while social support played a positive role in enhancing well-being (r = -0.17, p = 0.0412). Integrative therapies improved quality of life by 82%, and cost related health literacy was found to reduce financial toxicity (OR = 0.823, p= 0.039). Holistic interventions and attention to the financial challenges faced by cancer patients are essential for improving quality of life, particularly for those affected by financial toxicity. Effective symptom management involves the use of various tools (ESAS, HADS, FACT-G, SESI, EORTC QLQ-C30) and approaches such as palliative care, integrative therapies, symptom cluster management, acupuncture, financial support, social support, enhanced cost-related health literacy, improved psychological resilience, and identification of financial toxicity risks.The quality of life in Cancer patients is influenced by a complex interaction of factors, including financial condition, symptom management, social support, and multidisciplinary care. Enhancing health literacy—especially regarding financial aspects—with comprehensive, evidence-based, and accessible information such as insurance, medication coverage, and financial resources, is critically important.

Abstract

Frailty syndrome is a common condition among the elderly. Frailty has become a major health issue in the 21st century, affecting older adults and being associated with various negative outcomes such as decreased quality of life, increased mortality, hospital admissions, risk of falls, depression, and dementia. Objective: This study aims to identify and summarize the factors associated with frailty syndrome in the elderly through a systematic literature review. The findings are expected to serve as a basis for early prevention and management efforts of frailty in older adults. This study employs a systematic literature review method by analyzing 7 relevant journal articles published between 2020 and 2025. Articles were sourced from databases such as ProQuest, SpringerLink, and ClinicalKey for Nursing, selected based on topic relevance and publication quality to provide a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing frailty syndrome in the elderly. Based on the review of 7 journal articles, several factors influencing frailty syndrome were identified, including: age over 80 years, polypharmacy (use of multiple medications), gender, low body mass index (BMI), history of hospitalization, previous alcohol use, history of falls, living alone, presence of comorbidities, and impaired cognitive function. Frailty syndrome in the elderly is influenced by various risk factors spanning physical, psychological, and social aspects. Identifying these factors is crucial to support early interventions and preventive efforts, thereby improving the quality of life of older adults and reducing the risk of further complications. This systematic review can serve as a reference in developing strategies for the prevention and management of frailty among the elderly population.

Abstract

Pesticide poisoning, especially paraquat, is a significant health problem for agricultural workers, including sugarcane plantation workers in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between pesticide use and hemoglobin levels. This study is a descriptive study to find the correlation between paraquat pesticide exposure and hemoglobin levels. Quota sampling technique was used to collect 51 samples. Data were collected through interviews, observation of the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and measurement of hemoglobin levels by laboratory methods on 51 workers exposed to paraquat pesticide. The Chi-Square test was used to analyze the relationship between the use of PPE and the level of pesticide poisoning as measured by hemoglobin levels. The results showed that incomplete use of PPE was associated with a decrease in workers' hemoglobin levels. As many as 40% of workers who did not use PPE experienced a significant decrease in hemoglobin levels compared to workers who used complete PPE. The calculated Chi-Square value is 6.45 with a p value = 0.011 (p < 0.05) which indicates a significant relationship between the use of PPE and hemoglobin levels in sugarcane plantation workers. Based on these results, it can be concluded that proper use of PPE can reduce the risk of pesticide poisoning and maintain hemoglobin levels at normal levels.

Abstract

Body shaming is a pervasive issue with significant psychological consequences, particularly among adolescents. As adolescents undergo various physical and emotional changes, the pressures of social comparison and body image often lead to negative impacts on their self-concept. This study explores the relationship between body shaming and self-concept among adolescents in Cirebon, Indonesia.Methods:A cross-sectional design was used in this study, This study used total sampling, involving 180 students aged 12–16 years. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that assessed participants' experiences with body shaming and their self concept, including self-esteem, self-identity, and physical appearance satisfaction. The questionnaire had previously undergone validity and reliability testing in a different school setting to ensure its accuracy and consistency.The analysis was conducted using Pearson’s correlation and regression analysis to examine the relationship between body shaming and self-concept.Results: The findings indicate a significant negative correlation between body shaming experiences and self-concept. As body shaming experiences increased, adolescents reported lower levels of self-esteem, self-identity, and satisfaction with their physical appearance. These results highlight the psychological toll of body shaming and its negative influence on adolescent self-concept.Conclusion:This study provides strong evidence that body shaming negatively impacts adolescents’ self-concept. These findings underscore the importance of addressing body shaming through interventions aimed at fostering self-acceptance, body positivity, and resilience among adolescents, particularly within school settings.
