Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that is still a public health problem and requires long-term treatment so that patient compliance in taking medication is very important to achieve the success of therapy, where one of the factors that can affect patient compliance in undergoing treatment is family support provided during the treatment process. This study aims to describe the picture of family support and medication adherence in pulmonary TB patients at the Limboto Health Center, Gorontalo Regency. This study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive design carried out on pulmonary TB patients at the Limboto Health Center by collecting data using family support questionnaires which include emotional support, awards, information, and instrumentals as well as medication compliance questionnaires which are then analyzed using univariate analysis to describe the distribution of each research variable. The results showed that most of the respondents received good family support, namely 33 respondents (70.2%), while respondents who did not receive family support were 14 respondents (29.8%), and most of the respondents were in the compliant category in undergoing pulmonary TB treatment, namely 43 respondents (91.5%), while respondents who did not comply were 4 respondents (8.5%). Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the majority of pulmonary TB patients at the Limboto Health Center have family support and are obedient in taking medication during treatment.

Abstract

Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience anxiety due to the long-term treatment process and uncertainty regarding their health conditions. One important factor influencing anxiety levels is self-efficacy, which refers to an individual’s confidence in their ability to manage difficult situations. High self-efficacy is believed to reduce anxiety and improve patients’ ability to undergo treatment effectively. Objective: To determine the relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis at Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe Hospital. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 58 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using the Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Efficacy (CKD-SE) questionnaire and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analyses with correlation tests. Results: The findings showed that most patients with high self-efficacy experienced low levels of anxiety, whereas patients with low self-efficacy tended to experience moderate to severe anxiety. Statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Improving self-efficacy is important in helping reduce patient anxiety. Suggestion: This study is expected to serve as a basis for nursing interventions aimed at improving self-efficacy among patients with chronic kidney disease, as well as providing appropriate education and psychological support during hemodialysis treatment.

Abstract

Infusion insertion is an invasive procedure that involves the insertion of the device into the body and is often performed on children during hospital treatment. This action can cause pain, worry, and less adaptive behavioral reactions in children. Therefore, non-pharmacological pain management efforts are needed that are easy to implement, one of which is through distraction techniques by watching animated cartoons. The problem in this study is the high level of pain experienced by children during IV installation. This study aims to determine the effect of distraction techniques of watching animated cartoons on the reduction of children's pain levels during IV installation. This study uses a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design of a nonequivalent control group. The subjects of the study were preschoolers who underwent infusion and were divided into two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. Pain level measurements were performed before and after the intervention using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. The results of the univariate analysis showed that before the intervention, most of the children in both groups experienced moderate to severe pain. After the intervention, the group given the distraction of watching animated cartoons experienced a decrease in pain levels, characterized by increased mild pain and no severe pain found. Meanwhile, the control group still showed moderate to severe pain. The results of the Paired Sample t-Test showed a significant reduction in pain in the intervention group p. value (0.000 < 0.05), while in the control group there was no significant difference in p. value (0.336 > 0.05). The Independent Sample t-Test also showed a significant difference in pain reduction between the two groups of p. value (0.000 < 0.05). Conclusions: The distraction technique of watching animated cartoons has been shown to be effective in reducing children's pain during IV insertion and is recommended as a nonpharmacological intervention in pediatric care.

Factors that trigger gastritis include eating patterns, smoking habits, coffee consumption, stress, and the use of NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). In 2024, there were 204 patients who experienced gastritis, and from July to September 2025, there were 121 patients who experienced gastritis at the Catherine Booth Amurang Clinic. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between dietary patterns and stress with the incidence of gastritis at the Catherine Booth Amurang clinic. This research is a quantitative study using an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted at the Catherine Booth Clinic in Amurang, South Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi, from May to October 2025. The population in this study consists of all outpatient patients at the Catherine Booth Clinic in Amurang from July to September 2025, totaling 3,184 people. The sample size is 100 people, selected using purposive sampling technique. The research instruments were questionnaires, and the data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. The research results show a relationship between dietary patterns and the occurrence of gastritis (p value 0.000) and stress and the occurrence of gastritis (p value 0.000). Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between dietary patterns and stress and the occurrence of gastritis.
