Abstract

Introduction: Suicide is a complex phenomenon that is intriguing to study because its causes are still not fully understood. This phenomenon often garners media attention, as the number of incidents has significantly increased. Suicidal ideation frequently occurs in teenagers, and many who seek consultation report similar thoughts or engage in self-harm. The approach to problem-solving proposed in this research is the use of a virtual nurse as an early detection service for suicide risk behavior. A Virtual Nurse is an artificial intelligence-based application or system designed to provide health services and psychological support, particularly for teenagers. The Virtual Nurse uses machine learning algorithms to analyze user behavior, speech patterns, and interactions to identify signs of suicide risk. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Virtual Nurse in detecting suicide risk behavior in adolescents. Method: This research utilized a pre-experimental design with a one-shot case study approach. Results: The implementation of the virtual nurse application for the detection of suicide risk behavior in adolescents over four weeks yielded favorable outcomes for 116 students (16%), while 74 students (39%) were categorized as showing poor results and the score for using virtual nurse in detecting suicide risk was 84 points. The result was that virtual nurse were classified as good in detecting suicide risk behavior in adolescents. Conclusion: The virtual nurse is an artificial intelligence-based application or system designed to provide psychological services and support to its users, particularly teenagers.

Abstract

Background: Blood pressure control can be achieved through lifestyle changes, pharmacological therapy, and non-pharmacological therapy. Complementary therapies can be included in hypertension management programs and are self-administered. This study aims to analyze the effect of self-administered acupressure at the Taichong point on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Method: The research was conducted at Puskesmas II Denpasar Utara using a pre-experimental design with 38 primary hypertensive patients. Blood pressure data were measured five minutes before and after the patients performed self-administered acupressure at the Taichong point between the first and second metatarsals. Acupressure was performed with a stick for 5 seconds, lifted for 1 second, and repeated 30 times. Result: The results showed that all respondents had stage 2 hypertension, with systolic blood pressure (SBP) ranging from 140 to 172 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between 90 and 102 mmHg. After the intervention, all respondents experienced a decrease in SBP and DBP, with an average reduction in SBP of 13.89 ± 5.46 mmHg and a reduction in DBP of 11.05 ± 6.32 mmHg. The analysis results showed a significant effect on blood pressure (p-value: 0.0001). Conclusion: This study concludes that self-administered acupressure at the Taichong point significantly reduces blood pressure in primary hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of anemia worldwide is very high, particularly in developing countries, including Indonesia. Adolescent girls are especially susceptible to anemia, with the monthly menstrual cycle being one of the contributing factors. This review aims to synthesize data by analyzing several articles that focus on the prevention of anemia in adolescent girls using the Lawrence W. Green theory approach. Methods: The method used for this article is a literature review of articles published between 2020 and 2024. The sources include Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, with the keywords "Anemia," "Prevention," "Adolescent girls," and "Lawrence W. Green's Theory." After the screening process, 15 articles were selected for review out of the 883 articles initially identified. Results: The findings indicate that individual behaviors vary widely, even among identical twins. Behavior does not always follow a predictable pattern, and the development of positive behavior is not solely determined by knowledge or positive attitudes. According to Lawrence W. Green's Theory, factors influencing actions or behaviors are classified into three categories: 1) Predisposing factors, 2) Enabling factors, and 3) Reinforcing factors. Conclusion: The prevention of anemia in adolescent girls is influenced by factors such as knowledge levels, attitudes, peer support, and the availability of health facilities.

Abstract

Introduction: Spiritual needs are crucial in providing support for cervical cancer patients in palliative care. Spiritual support helps reduce feelings of despair and depression, enabling patients to undergo treatment and maintain their quality of life. Resilience refers to individual characteristics that are adaptable and support successful coping with cancer. This study aimed to examine the spiritual needs and resilience of women with cervical cancer. Method: This research employed a correlational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach conducted in North Surabaya, which has the highest number of cervical cancer patients in the city of Surabaya. All women with cervical cancer recorded in the integrated service system constituted the population, and 42 women were recruited using total sampling. Spiritual needs were assessed using the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire, while resilience was measured with the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The collected data were analyzed using the Spearman rho test with a 95% confidence interval and an alpha (α) of 0.05. Results: A significant relationship was found between spiritual needs and resilience in women with cervical cancer (p = 0.000), with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.572, indicating a strong relationship. Conclusion: A spiritual approach is essential for cervical cancer patients to enhance their spiritual well-being, thereby fostering physical and psychosocial resilience.

Abstract

Background: Mental health has become a critical concern among adolescents, particularly affecting their emotional regulation, problem-solving abilities, and interpersonal relationships. Middle school students are especially vulnerable as they navigate identity formation while being susceptible to external influences. Various factors, including peer pressure, media influence, and gender norms, can exacerbate the gap between adolescents' reality and future perceptions. This study aims to determine the effect of Body Mind Therapy on adolescent mental health. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted. The population comprised middle school students in the Puskesmas II Denpasar Utara area. The sample size was calculated using the Lemeshow formula (n=97), with final participants of 40 students selected through simple random sampling. Inclusion criteria were students aged 12-16 years with parental consent. Variables measured included vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, respiration), sleep quality (PSQI), anxiety (SAS/SRAS), and mental health (SDQ). Data were analyzed using a paired t-test with a 95% confidence interval. Results: Most of the adolescents were 14 years old (45%) and female (92.5%). After conducting a paired t-test, the results showed that diastolic blood pressure, pulse, respiration, sleep quality, and mental health variables in the difficulty component showed significant effects with a p-value < 0.05. Conclusion: This intervention can be relied upon to improve adolescents' physical and mental health, particularly in reducing physiological stress and improving aspects of mental health such as emotional difficulties.

Abstract

Introduction: Adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) treatment is one of the most critical factors in the successful management of HIV patients. Family support significantly influences treatment adherence, as family members are closest to the patient and are expected to provide motivation and monitor adherence to ARVs. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family support and ARV adherence among HIV patients. Methods: This study employed an analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population comprised HIV patients undergoing treatment in the Treatment Support Care Room (PDP) at Bhayangkara Indramayu Hospital, with an average monthly visit rate of 375 patients. A sample of 190 respondents was selected using the Z formula. The sampling technique employed purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Results: The findings revealed that 97 respondents (51.1%) reported good family support, and 146 respondents (76.8%) were compliant with taking ARV medication. The statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.006 (α < 0.05). Conclusion: There is a relationship between family support and adherence to ARV medication in HIV patients. It is recommended for nurses to educate families to provide support to HIV patients in ARV treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: T2DM can increase morbidity and mortality. Almost half of T2DM patients have impaired foot sensitivity. This increases the risk of diabetic foot ulcers, causing the patient to not feel any injuries to the legs, even to amputation. Therefore, handling the proper treatment to prevent these complications is necessary, one of which is using foot massage and active ROM. This study aimed to determine the effect of the combination of foot massage and active ROM on foot sensitivity among T2DM patients at Mangusada Hospital. Methods: This study was carried out in the Kecak Room of Mangusada Hospital, involving 30 T2DM patients. This study uses a pre-experiment design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The instrument used to assess foot sensitivity among T2DM patients was a 10-g monofilament applied at five points on each patient's right and left soles. The normality test results showed that the data was not normally distributed, so the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to analyze the difference in foot sensitivity of T2DM patients before and after the intervention with a significance level (α<0.05). Results: The results showed that median foot sensitivity scores improved from 7 to 8. Before the intervention, most foot sensitivity scores were 7, and after the intervention, they were 8. It can be concluded that a combination of foot massage and active ROM affected foot sensitivity among T2DM patients at Mangusada Hospital. Conclusion: Future studies should incorporate a control group and randomization to enhance validity.

Abstract

Background: Readmission cases among stroke patients are common, with only 15% of patients surviving and avoiding readmissions over a five-year period. Ischemic stroke patients who are readmitted face a higher risk of death and significantly increased healthcare costs. Therefore, identifying factors associated with the readmission of ischemic stroke patients is essential to prevent these occurrences. Methods: Articles were selected following PRISMA Guidelines. A literature review used three journal databases: ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Keywords were aligned with the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms, including "readmission," "ischemic stroke," and "risk factors." Several inclusion criteria were applied to identify eligible articles: publication between 2014 and 2023 and written in English or Bahasa. Sixteen eligible articles were ultimately included in the analysis. Results: A total of 16 articles were reviewed (n = 354,682). The causes of readmission in ischemic stroke patients were categorized into two groups: neurological and non-neurological disorders. Seven common comorbidities were identified as risk factors: hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, previous stroke events, and stroke recurrence. Conclusion: The review revealed significant variation in readmission rates among ischemic stroke patients, ranging from 6.7% to 74% within 28 days to 10 years. This trend was particularly pronounced among adults and older women. These findings provide valuable insights for initiatives to prevent patient readmissions and highlight the importance of improving future care quality.
