Data collection by interviewing respondents using questionnaires and data was analyzed by chi square test. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between age, occupation, knowledge, and expenditure with smoking behavior. Age produces p-value=0.000, work produces p-value=0.025, knowledge produces p-value=0.034, expenditure produces p-value=0.000. And there was no relationship between education and smoking behavior which resulted in p-value = 0.473. It is hoped that the local government will further socialize, realize, and evaluate the Smoke-Free Zone (KTR) policy in Tenggela village. And it is necessary to make binding rules and sanctions for the No Smoking Area policy.

Abstract

Adolescence is a transition period that is susceptible to various emotional and psychological changes, so it requires the support of a healthy family environment. One of the factors that affect adolescent mental health is parental parenting. Toxic parenting is a form of negative parenting characterized by excessive control, criticism, and a lack of emotional support, which can affect the psychological well-being of adolescents. This study aims to find out the relationship between toxic parenting and mental health in adolescents. The research instruments were in the form of a toxic parenting questionnaire and a Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The results showed that most adolescents experienced a moderate level of toxic parenting (65.9%), while a weak level was (34.1%). Adolescent mental health conditions are mostly in the borderline (48.8%) category, followed by the abnormal (36.6%) and normal (14.6%) categories. The results of the Chi-square test showed a p-value = 0.002 (< 0.05), which indicates that there is a significant relationship between toxic parenting and adolescent mental health. In conclusion, the higher the level of toxic parenting, the greater the risk of mental health disorders. It is recommended that parents implement positive parenting that is oriented towards emotional support and open communication to support adolescent mental health.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that is progressive and has a serious impact on the body's metabolic system. The PLISSIT model stands for four levels of intervention, namely Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions, and Intensive Therapy. This study aims to determine the effect of sexual education with the PLISSIT method in reducing sexual function disorders in type 2 DM patients at the Limboto Health Center. The research method is using a quasi-experimental approach. The design used is a one group pretest-posttest design. The sample was taken using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling technique from a total population of 398 respondents to 44 respondents. The research instrument using Sexual Education with the PLISSIT Method was carried out according to SOP procedures and used IIEF and FSFI Questionnaires to measure the level of sexual disorders in men and women. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the Pre FSFI and Post FSFI scores with a Z value of -5.061 and a significance value (p-value) of 0.000. Because the p value < 0.05, the Pre IIEF and Post IIEF p values are .000, where p < ? (0.05) is obtained, so it is concluded that H1 is accepted, meaning that there is an Effect of Sexual Education with the PLISSIT Method on Sexual Function Disorders in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients at Limboto Health Center. This research is expected to integrate sexual education of the PLISSIT method in the routine services of type 2 DM patients, especially in health education sessions and chronic disease clinics.

Abstract

Constipation is an elimination problem that often occurs in stroke patients due to neurological disorders, immobilization, and a low-fiber diet. This condition can decrease comfort, hinder recovery, and trigger complications such as fecal impaction. Warm abdominal compresses are a nonpharmacological intervention that can improve intestinal motility. Objective: To determine the effect of abdominal compresses on the rate of constipation in stroke patients. Methods: This study used a pre-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. The sample consisted of 15 stroke patients who were selected using accidental sampling techniques in the Neuro Room of Prof. Dr. Aloei Saboe Gorontalo Hospital. The intervention was in the form of abdominal compresses with Warm Water Zak at 40–50°C for 20 minutes every day for three days. The level of constipation was measured using the Constipation Assessment Scale (CAS). The normality test used the Shapiro-Wilk test and the statistical analysis used the Wilcoxon test. Results: After a warm compress intervention in the abdomen for 3 days, the category of non-constipation increased from 0 respondents (0%) to 2 respondents (11.8%), mild constipation of 2 respondents (11.8%) increased to 11 respondents (64.7%), moderate constipation of 10 respondents (58.8%) decreased to 2 respondents (17.6%), and severe constipation of 4 respondents (29.4%) decreased to 2 respondents (5.9%). The Wilcoxon test showed a value of p = 0.000 (p< 0.05), indicating a significant effect of abdominal compression on the reduction of constipation. Conclusion: Abdominal compresses are effective in lowering the rate of constipation in stroke patients. This intervention is safe, easy to implement, and can be recommended as a nonpharmacological nursing measure to improve elimination function in stroke patients.

Abstract

The development of information technology encourages hospitals to innovate services, one of which is through the implementation of the Self-Medication List Platform (ADABATMAN) in outpatient services. This system is expected to speed up the registration process, reduce queues, and increase patient satisfaction. However, in its implementation, technical obstacles and differences in patients' abilities in using technology are still found, so it is necessary to evaluate in terms of patient satisfaction. This study aims to find out the picture of patient satisfaction in the use of ADABATMAN in the Outpatient Installation of Toto Kabila Hospital based on the dimensions of reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy, and responsiveness. Research method This study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive design. The research sample amounted to 84 respondents who were selected using accidental sampling techniques. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on the SERVQUAL (RATER) model and analyzed univariately to see the distribution of patient satisfaction levels. The results showed that most patients were satisfied with the use of ADABATMAN. In the reliability and responsiveness dimensions, the majority of respondents expressed satisfaction because the system was considered quite fast and helped the registration process. The assurance dimension shows a good level of satisfaction because patients feel safe and trust in the services provided. The tangibles dimension obtained the highest level of satisfaction, demonstrated by a positive assessment of the physical condition of the machine, facilities, and service environment. Meanwhile, in the empathy dimension, although most respondents were satisfied with the attitude and attention of the officers, there were still respondents who stated that they were quite satisfied, especially in elderly patients who needed more assistance when using the system. In conclusion, in general, the level of patient satisfaction with the use of ADABATMAN in the Outpatient Installation of Toto Kabila Hospital is in the satisfied category. Nevertheless, hospitals still need to improve assistance for elderly patients and carry out regular system maintenance so that the quality of technology-based services can be more optimal.
