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.

Abstract

Introduction: Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is an important indicator in improving the degree of public health. However, the implementation of PHBS at the household and school levels still faces various obstacles, such as low knowledge and lack of public awareness. Health promotion programs are designed to encourage behavior change through education and empowerment. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of health promotion programs on changes in PHBS behavior in the community. Methods: This study used a quantitative design with a quasi-experimental approach through a pretest-posttest without control group design. The research population is the community in the work area of the health center, with a sample of 60 respondents selected using the purposive sampling technique. The independent variable is the health promotion program, while the dependent variable is the change in PHBS behavior. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and observation sheets, then analyzed using a paired t-test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed an increase in the average score of PHBS behavior after the health promotion intervention. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.05), which showed that health promotion programs had an effect on changes in respondents' behavior. Conclusion: Health promotion programs have proven to be effective in improving clean and healthy living behaviors of the community. Continuous program implementation and periodic evaluation are needed to maintain and increase positive behavior changes.

Abstract

Work-related stress is an occupational health problem that can influence workers’ behavior, including compliance with safety procedures. Traditional gold miners work in high-risk environments that may increase stress and reduce awareness of occupational safety practices. This study aimed to determine the relationship between work stress level and compliance with occupational safety procedures among traditional gold miners. This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 75 traditional gold miners selected using a total sampling technique based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using questionnaires consisting of respondent characteristics, work stress level, and compliance with occupational safety procedures. The data were analyzed using univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. The results showed that most respondents experienced moderate work stress and most respondents were non-compliant with occupational safety procedures. The statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between work stress level and compliance with occupational safety procedures among traditional gold miners. Workers with higher stress levels tended to have lower compliance with safety procedures. Therefore, work stress management, occupational safety education, and regular supervision are needed to improve compliance with safety procedures among traditional gold miners.

Abstract

Menstrual hygiene management is the practice of maintaining personal hygiene during menstruation to prevent the risk of infection in adolescent girls. To optimize this knowledge, interesting and easy-to-understand health education such as the use of animated videos is needed. This study aims to determine the effect of animation video education on menstrual hygiene management knowledge in female students at SMP Negeri 1 Gorontalo. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design. The population in this study is all students of SMP Negeri 1 Gorontalo who have experienced menstruation as many as 470 students. The sampling technique used proportionate stratified random sampling with a sample of 47 respondents. The research instrument used a menstrual hygiene management knowledge questionnaire. The results showed that before being given education, most respondents had a sufficient level of knowledge as many as 27 respondents (57.4%), and a small number of respondents had a low level of knowledge as many as 2 respondents (4.3%). After being educated, all 47 respondents had a good knowledge level of 100%. The results of the study using the Wilcoxon signed rank test showed a p-value = 0.000 (<0.05), which indicates that there is an influence of animated video education on menstrual hygiene management knowledge in female students at SMP Negeri 1 Gorontalo. It is hoped that animation video education can be used as an alternative to health education in the school environment.
