Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a severe mental disorder that affects children. This disease can also lead to activity limitations in brain development, affecting a child's future intelligence pattern. Musculoskeletal issues, epilepsy, and sensory and behavioral disorders frequently accompany CP motor disorders. The purpose of this study was to explore mothers' perspectives on caring for children with cerebral palsy at the PNTC Colomadu Clinic. This investigation was qualitative. This investigation included five mothers with children with cerebral palsy and one therapist at the PNTC Colomadu clinic. Interviews, documentation, and observations were implemented to gather data. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Source triangulation, method triangulation, and technique triangulation were implemented during the data validity assessment. 1) The findings indicate that cerebral palsy children require ongoing therapy and learning. 2) Children with cerebral palsy require learning, affection, and nurturing tailored to their unique requirements. 3) The goal of therapy is for the child to become independent. The CP advises parents to anticipate parental cooperation and family contribution to continue the development of abilities and provide children with education and enthusiasm.

Abstract

The leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide is stroke. Nurses' knowledge of stroke risk factors is essential in intervening and taking preventive measures, identifying and managing patients at risk of stroke, and providing adequate care. An essential role for nurses is to prevent more severe complications to reduce disability and death from stroke. This study aimed to determine nurses' knowledge of the riverbank public health centers about risk factors for stroke in the Banjar district. The method used was descriptive quantitative using a questionnaire about nurses' knowledge of stroke risk factors with univariate analysis that presents frequency distribution tables and percentages of variables. The sample size was 45 respondents, using a total sampling technique in Martapura Barat, Martapura Timur, and Sungai Tabuk 3 Public Health Center. Data collected from September-October 2023. The study results were the knowledge of nurses at the riverbank public health centers; 33 participants (73.3%) had sufficient knowledge. Respondents' characteristics are that most women are 25 participants (55.6%). There were 32 participants (71.1%) with a Diploma III (D3) educational background, 43 participants (95.6%) who have never attended stroke-related training, and 36 participants (80%) who work for non-communicable diseases.

Abstract

An effort to reduce stigma and discrimination is still a challenge in controlling HIV cases and improving adherence to the medication among People Living with HIV (PLHIV). This study aimed to determine the factors that reduce stigma and discrimination in healthcare facilities. This research employed a mixed-method study. The population was HIV/AIDS patients in the Puger and Kencong areas. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, which resulted in 30 respondents. 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. 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 (69.7%). The success in reducing stigma and discrimination in health services was influenced by the accompanying factor of PLHIV, in which peer support always accompanied PLHIV in carrying out medication, helping to take ARV when PLHIV was unable to visit the healthcare facility, and mingling with PLHIV so PLHIV felt less alone. The research indicates that implementing peer support programs in the Jember District has significantly reduced discrimination in healthcare services and improved treatment adherence among PLHIV. It was proven by high adherence to taking medication and the low level of discrimination experienced by PLHIV. Suggesting that similar models could enhance public health outcomes in other regions.

Abstract

Adolescence is characterized as a transitional phase between childhood and adulthood. Therefore, individuals undergo numerous adaptations necessary to successfully navigate developmental tasks associated with adolescence. Adolescents experience various physical, emotional, and social changes, which, if misaligned with their expectations, can lead to psychological challenges, particularly stress. This study investigates the stress levels among adolescents who have experienced body shaming at SMP N 2 Dawan. This study was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional method conducted among adolescents who experienced body shaming. The study sample consisted of 101 participants selected through purposive sampling based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Adolescent Stress Questionnaire-27 (ASQ-27) and analyzed using a computerized program. The results revealed that a significant proportion of respondents (69.3%) experienced moderate levels of stress. The primary sources of stress were identified in the domains of teacher interactions and home life. These findings highlight the need for effective stress alleviation strategies to promote improved mental health outcomes among adolescents.

Abstract

Diabetes-related anxiety, depression, and stigma have a greater impact on individuals with type 2 diabetes than the condition itself. Studies examining the stigma of diabetes together with depression, anxiety, and self-care are quite limited in the literature.  The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between diabetes stigma, anxiety, depression, and diabetes self-care in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This study utilized a cross-sectional, correlational methodology. The sample for this study included 200 individuals with type 2 diabetes. Data collection included the Patient Information Form, the Type 2 Diabetes Stigma Assessment Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Diabetes Self-Care Scale. Data were analyzed using the student t-test, one-way ANOVA, Bonferroni post hoc test, and Pearson correlation analysis. There was a positive, moderate, and statistically significant relationship between the total score of the diabetes stigma assessment scale and anxiety score (r=0.488, p<0.01), as well as a positive, moderate, and statistically significant relationship between the total score and depression score (r=0.464, p<0.01). There was a positive, very weak, and significant relationship between diabetes self-care and the total score (r=0.144, p<0.05). There was a positive, very weak, and statistically significant relationship between the total score of the Diabetes Self-Care Scale and depression score (r=0.159, p<0.05), whereas there was no statistically significant relationship with anxiety score (p>0.05). Diabetes self-care in individuals with type 2 diabetes is influenced by diabetes stigma, anxiety, and depression. It is recommended to plan evidence-based studies that aim to reduce these factors through experimental designs.

Abstract

Adolescence is a period marked by significant changes, including physical changes such as alterations in body mass index (BMI). Deviations in BMI from expected norms can impact an adolescent's body image. This study aims to examine the relationship between BMI and body image among male and female adolescents at SMAN 2 Kisaran. The research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design. The population for this study included 648 adolescents, with a sample size of 247 respondents selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. We tested the correlation using the Spearman correlation test. The results indicate that adolescents with a normal BMI tend to have a positive body image (95 individuals, 38.5%), while those with an obese BMI tend to have a negative body image (17 individuals, 6.9%). The analysis showed a statistically significant relationship between BMI and body image, with a p-value of 0.00, less than the alpha value of 0.05. This study highlights the importance of parental and educational roles in providing education about ideal body shapes and suggests the establishment of counseling services to support mental health and self-esteem related to body image among adolescents.

Abstract

Individuals with excess weight are more likely to experience increased blood pressure compared to those with normal weight. Hypertension is particularly prevalent among the elderly population. Additionally, the living environment whether urban or rural can influence the nutritional status of elderly individuals with hypertension. This study aims to compare the nutritional status of elderly individuals with hypertension residing in rural and urban areas. A quantitative comparative cross-sectional design was employed, and purposive sampling was used to select 152 participants. Data collection included measurements of body weight using digital scales, height or knee height using a stadiometer, and blood pressure using a digital sphygmomanometer. The results, analyzed using an independent t-test, revealed a significant difference in the nutritional status of elderly individuals with hypertension between rural and urban areas (p-value = 0,007), with a mean difference of 1,476. The findings indicate that the nutritional status of elderly individuals in rural areas is better compared to their urban counterparts. This difference is influenced by food intake and physical activity levels. Elderly individuals with hypertension in rural areas tend to consume homegrown foods and agricultural products, contributing to their healthier status. They should continue engaging in physical activities like gardening or farming. In contrast, elderly individuals in urban areas face challenges due to the availability of ready-to-eat or processed foods. It is essential for them to adopt healthier dietary habits and increase physical activity through walking or participating in community-based health programs to improve their nutritional and overall health status.

Abstract

Indonesian nursing holds a rich heritage that dates back centuries. Indonesian nurses have embraced a holistic approach to care, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This holistic perspective is deeply ingrained in our nursing values and informs our practice. This paper examines the pragmatic utility of the emerging Theory of Communion-in-Caring (TCIC), which invites Indonesian nurses to a caring dialogue for the theory's future advancement. In caring, communion refers to a deep and meaningful connection between individuals. It goes beyond superficial interactions and involves a genuine exchange of thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Communion is characterized by open-mindedness, vulnerability, and a willingness to truly engage with others. TCIC is an essential theory that can enhance and promote Indonesian caring values. By embracing this theory, individuals, particularly in the nursing profession, can foster stronger relationships with patients and others, thereby contributing to Indonesia's more compassionate and united society. Through these connections, healthcare professionals can embody the values of "gotong royong" (mutual assistance) and "silaturahmi" (building strong relationships), both of which are key to Indonesian culture.
