Abstract

Background: Dementia is a progressive cognitive disorder that impacts the quality of life of the elderly, causing decreased cognitive and social functions and increased dependency. Families play an important role in providing emotional, physical, social and economic support, but not all have sufficient understanding in caring for the elderly with dementia. Lack of family knowledge and skills in caring for the elderly with dementia can cause stress for caregivers and reduce the quality of life of the elderly themselves. The Alzi Surabaya Community acts as a forum for education and assistance for families to improve optimal care. This study aimed to analyze family support strategies in improving the quality of life of the elderly with dementia in the Alzi Surabaya community.Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Informants were selected through purposive sampling of seven families of caregivers of the elderly with dementia. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and documentation, analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation and drawing conclusions/verification. Data validity was tested by source triangulation.Results: The results of the study from seven respondents showed that family support plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life of the elderly with dementia. Emotional support in the form of good attention and communication improves the psychological well-being of the elderly. Physical support such as assistance in self-care and providing nutritious food, maintains the health of the elderly. Economic support ensures access to health services. In addition, family involvement in social activities also helps maintain the emotional stability of the elderly. Interaction with the Alzi Surabaya community helps families in communication strategies, managing behavioral changes and strengthening social support.Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the better the family support that has been given in caring for the elderly with dementia, the better their quality of life will be

Abstract

Background: In an era of increasingly tight healthcare competition, patient loyalty is an important indicator of hospital success. This loyalty is not only influenced by the quality of medical services alone, but also by the effectiveness of the communication and marketing strategies implemented. Hospital marketing strategies that are able to build long-term relationships with patients are now the focus of study, especially in the context of how these strategies can increase patient trust and retention. Therefore, it is important to identify marketing strategies that have been empirically proven to have an impact on patient loyalty.Methods: This study uses a systematic literature review approach, which examines and evaluates five selected scientific papers from various hospital contexts in Indonesia and Japan. The literature review involves qualitative and quantitative studies to gain a comprehensive understanding of effective marketing strategies. The selection process of articles is based on their relevance, credibility, and contribution to the topic of patient loyalty in healthcare marketing.Results: The results of the analysis show that the two main strategies that are dominant and significant in increasing patient loyalty are Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) and relationship marketing.Conclusion: This study confirms that patient loyalty is not only formed by the quality of medical services, but also by integrated, adaptive, and long-term-oriented communication and marketing strategies. These findings provide an important contribution in formulating more strategic health service marketing policies that focus on sustainable patient relationships, so that they can be a practical reference for hospital managers in increasing institutional competitiveness.

Abstract

Background: Infant sleep quality is crucial for growth and development, yet many infants experience sleep disturbances. This study explores the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions, massage and classical music in improving sleep quality in infants.Methods: This study was conducted at Puskesmas Gogagoman in North Sulawesi, involving 48 infants aged 6–12 months, randomly assigned to massage, classical music, or control groups. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design, researchers assessed sleep quality before and after interventions. Data were collected using the Brief Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (B-PSQI) and analyzed using non-parametric tests, including the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Kruskal-Wallis Test.Results: The major findings of this study indicate that infant massage significantly improved sleep quality compared to both classical music therapy and the control group. After the intervention, the massage group showed the greatest reduction in sleep disturbance scores (mean score dropped from 2.88 to 1.13), followed by the music group (mean score dropped to 1.94), while the control group showed minimal change (mean score of 2.81). Statistical tests confirmed that these differences were significant, highlighting that massage therapy was the most effective intervention for enhancing infant sleep quality.Conclusion: This study concludes that infant massage is more effective than classical music in improving sleep quality in infants. Both interventions were better than no treatment.

Abstract

Background: Non-Specific Low Back Pain is a musculoskeletal disorder caused by abnormalities or dysfunctions in musculoskeletal structures without any neurological involvement. This condition is most commonly found in workplaces, especially among individuals who perform activities with incorrect body posture. Non-specific LBP may result from muscle strain or lack of spinal movement, which leads to weakened or tense back muscles.Methods: This study aims to determine the physiotherapy management using a combination of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and William Flexion Exercises in reducing pain and improving mobility in patients with non-specific low back pain. The study employs a descriptive quantitative approach with a case study design. TENS was applied to the lumbar area for 15–20 minutes using conventional frequency, combined with progressively performed William Flexion Exercises over a period of two weeks. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and functional ability was evaluated using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).Results: The results showed a significant reduction in pain levels based on VAS scores and an improvement in functional ability as indicated by ODI scores after the combined therapy.Conclusion: The combination of TENS and William Flexion Exercises is effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with Non-Specific Low Back Pain.

Abstract

Background: The aging process causes a decline in musculoskeletal function, one of which is decreased muscle strength, which impacts balance and independence in older adults. Balance training is one physical intervention that can improve muscle strength in older adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of balance exercise on muscle strength in older adults at the UPT Panti Sosial Tresna Werdha Glenmore. Methods: This study used a questionnaire-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The sample consisted of 30 elderly people selected by total sampling. Muscle strength was measured using the Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) instrument before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test.Results: Before the intervention, most elderly people had mild muscle strength (76.7%). After the balance exercise intervention, the majority of elderly people experienced an increase in muscle strength to the normal category (73.3%). The Wilcoxon test results showed a P-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant effect of balance exercise on muscle strength in elderly people.Conclusion: Balance exercise significantly improves muscle strength in older adults. This intervention can be implemented as a routine exercise program to improve physical function and quality of life in older adults.

Abstract

Background: Vitamin C or ascorbic acid (C₆H₈O₆) is an essential water-soluble compound, widely used in functional beverages due to its antioxidant properties. This compound plays a role in neutralizing free radicals, strengthening the immune system, and helping the absorption of iron in the body. Packaged beverages containing vitamin C can experience degradation due to storage temperature (pH), production process, and the length of product circulation on the market. This impacts degradation of ascorbic acid and decreases the levels of vitamin C in beverage preparations, so accurate and validated analytical methods are needed to ensure the conformity of ascorbic acid levels with the label.Methods: Determination of ascorbic acid levels using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at maximum wavelength. A standard curve was prepared from a standard vitamin C solution with a concentration of 10–18 ppm, resulting in a regression equation as the basis for calculating sample levels. Method validation included linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ) tests according to quantitative analysis guidelines.Results: The standard curve equation is Y = 0.020x + 0.030Y with r2 = 0.995r indicating good linearity. The vitamin C content in the sample is 1.045 mg/140 mL or 103.5% of the label (1000 mg), still within the Pharmacopoeia limits (90–110%). The LOD and LOQ values are 0.429 ppm and 1.3 ppm, respectively. The precision results show a %RSD of 0.1260% and an accuracy (% recovery) of 103.5%.Conclusion:The results showed that the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method had good linearity, accuracy, and precision. The vitamin C content in the product met standards. Validation parameters demonstrated that this method was consistent in analyzing vitamin C in beverage preparations.
