<![CDATA[Introduction: Patients with mental disorders who receive rehabilitation at home or as outpatients require support to comply with their treatment programs. One of the significant barriers to improving the health status of these patients is non-compliance with prescribed medications. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and medication compliance in patients with mental disorders within the working area of the Turi Lamongan Health Center. Methods: This is an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 90 families of patients with mental disorders, with a sample size of 73 respondents. Simple Random Sampling was used as the sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The statistical test applied was Spearman's Rank correlation, with α = 0.05. Results: Among the 73 respondents, most reported moderate family support, with 38 respondents (52.1%), while a smaller proportion reported poor support, with 12 respondents (16.4%). Regarding medication compliance, most respondents showed moderate compliance, with 36 respondents (49.3%), and a smaller proportion exhibited good compliance, with 10 respondents (13.7%). The results of the Spearman Rank test revealed a ρ-value of 0.000 < α = 0.05, and the calculated r-value was 0.671. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between family support and medication compliance in patients with mental disorders in the Turi Lamongan Health Center work area, with a strong degree of association.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Adherence to tuberculosis (TB) medication is a critical factor in curing patients. Incomplete or improper treatment can lead to drug resistance or the recurrence of infection. Self-care agency plays a vital role in helping individuals remain compliant and consistent with their treatment. High medication adherence can also enhance an individual’s self-care agency. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-care agency and medication adherence in TB patients at Lamongan Health Center. Methods: This study utilized a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted in March 2023. The study population consisted of 65 TB patients, with a sample size of 56 respondents selected through simple random sampling. The independent and dependent variables were self-care agency and medication adherence, respectively. Data on self-care agency were collected using the ASA Scale questionnaire, and medication adherence was assessed using the MMAS-8 questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman rank correlation test. Results: The study found a strong positive relationship between self-care agency and medication adherence in TB patients at Lamongan Health Center, with a significance level of 0.001 (p < 0.05) and a correlation coefficient of 0.635. TB patients with high self-care agency were more likely to adhere to their medication regimen compared to those with lower self-care agency. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that improving self-care agency can enhance medication adherence among TB patients. These results can serve as a reference for strategies aimed at increasing medication adherence by strengthening patients' self-care agency.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between room head supervision and nurses’ compliance in implementing fall risk prevention in the inpatient room at Arifin Achmad Hospital. Methods: This research used a descriptive correlative design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 76 respondents, selected using the total sampling technique. Supervision was measured using a 28-item questionnaire, consisting of 17 favorable items and 11 unfavorable items, with a Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of 0.912. Nurse compliance was measured using a 9-item questionnaire, with a Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of 0.973. Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis with the chi-square test. Results: The results of the study showed that 39 nurses (51.3%) were in the compliant category in implementing fall risk prevention. Most of the compliant nurses received good supervision from the head room, as reported by 29 nurses (72.5%). Meanwhile, among the 37 nurses (48.7%) in the less compliant category, the majority received poor supervision from the head room, as stated by 26 nurses (72.2%). The statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating that the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected. Conclusions: It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between head room supervision and nurses’ compliance in implementing fall risk prevention in the inpatient rooms of Arifin Achmad Hospital.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Abdominal exercises help reduce pain by increasing blood circulation to the abdominal region, reducing muscle spasms, and improving flexibility of the uterine muscles. Muscle relaxation progressively reduces muscle tension and stress, which can worsen menstrual pain. This combination significantly reduces dysmenorrhea intensity, increases comfort, and supports the quality of life among adolescent girls. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of abdominal stretching exercises and progressive muscle relaxation on reducing dysmenorrhea in teenage girls in Meluntur Village. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, namely a two group pre-test and post-test control group design. A sample of 24 respondents was divided into two groups. The abdominal stretching exercise intervention was carried out on the first to third day of menstruation for 15 minutes twice a day, morning and evening. Progressive muscle relaxation intervention was carried out on the first to third day of menstruation for 15-30 minutes with a frequency of once a day, in the morning. The dependent variable was pain intensity in dysmenorrhea as measured by a numerical measurement scale. Results: The Wilcoxon test results for the abdominal stretching exercise group showed a p value = 0.025 (α<0.05) and for the progressive muscle relaxation group p value = 0.046 (α<0.05). The Mann Whitney test results showed a p value = 0.660 (α <0.05), indicating that there was no difference in the decrease in dysmenorrhea after the two interventions, because both helped reduce the intensity of dysmenorrhea. Conclusions: Adolescent girls who experience dysmenorrhea can perform either of these interventions.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Mental disorders are a serious health issue that can significantly affect a person's quality of life. One common symptom experienced by patients with mental disorders is auditory hallucination. Dhikr therapy is a non-pharmacological approach that can be used to help patients with auditory hallucinations. This case study aims to assist patients in reducing the level of auditory hallucinations using dhikr therapy. Methods: This research employed a case study with a descriptive-narrative method through a mental health nursing process approach involving one patient with auditory hallucinations at the Mental Health Service Unit of the Candipuro Community Health Center from June 11–13, 2024. The intervention included nursing actions that involved dhikr therapy conducted for three days with a duration of 10–20 minutes per session. Data analysis was performed by observing changes in the level of hallucinations before and after dhikr therapy. Results: The implementation of dhikr therapy for three days showed a reduction in auditory hallucinations and an improvement in sensory perception criteria. The patient rarely heard whispers, sensory distortions decreased, patient responses improved, and behaviors indicating the perception of hearing voices diminished. The AHRS questionnaire results indicated the effectiveness of dhikr therapy in reducing auditory hallucinations, with a final score of 17, categorizing it as moderate hallucination. Conclusions: Based on the results of this case study, it is hoped that nurses can provide dhikr therapy as a non-pharmacological treatment option for patients with mental disorders experiencing auditory hallucinations. This research is also expected to be developed further by applying dhikr therapy to multiple patients with similar cases for comparative analysis.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: To enhance the delivery and quality of nursing care, which in turn affects nurse satisfaction, a professional self-concept among nurses is required. Various factors, including the nature of nursing, impact this self-concept. In this study, the professional self-concept of implementing nurses at Pandan Arang Hospital in Boyolali was compared with several nurse characteristics. Methods: The research methodology employed a cross-sectional descriptive correlational design. Seventy-two nurses in inpatient wards served as the research sample, selected using a total sampling approach. The questionnaire on nurses' professional self-concept was taken from Angel, Craven, and Denson, which was adopted by Juanamasta, covering four aspects: care, knowledge, staff relations, and leadership. As part of the data-gathering method, a questionnaire was utilized. Results: According to the research findings, among the nurses at Pandan Arang Boyolali Hospital, the majority (51.1%) had a positive professional self-concept. Furthermore, there was no significant relationship between age, gender, employment status, or length of work and nurses' professional self-concept, as indicated by a p-value > 0.05. However, a significant relationship was found between marital status and nurses' professional self-concept, as indicated by a p-value < 0.05. Conculsions: The results of this study suggest that age, gender, employment status, and length of employment are not significantly related to nurses’ professional self-concept. However, a significant relationship was observed between marital status and nurses' professional self-concept.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Families play a crucial role in caring for members with schizophrenia, but the stress and depression resulting from caregiving often overshadow the coping mechanisms used. This study aims to analyze the relationship between stress, depression, and coping mechanisms in families caring for individuals with schizophrenia. Methods: A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used. The sample included 59 families with members suffering from schizophrenia who were receiving treatment at the Outpatient Clinic of dr. Samsi Jacobalis Mental Hospital in Bangka Belitung Islands Province in 2024. Stress and depression were measured using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-42), with Cronbach's alpha values of 0.8806 for stress and 0.9053 for depression. Coping mechanisms were measured using the Brief COPE, with a reliability coefficient of 0.952. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test with SPSS software. Results: The study found that 31 individuals (52.5%) experienced severe stress, and 38 individuals (64.4%) experienced moderate depression. Additionally, 39 individuals (66.1%) exhibited maladaptive coping mechanisms. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between stress and coping mechanisms (p = 0.000), and between depression and coping mechanisms (p = 0.000). Conclusions: The study concludes that there is a relationship between stress and depression with family coping mechanisms in schizophrenia patients. It is recommended that families be provided with clear information about schizophrenia, its impact, and how to care for affected members. Additionally, offering training on adaptive coping strategies, such as relaxation, mindfulness, and acceptance, may help families better manage stress and depression.]]>
