Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a growing epidemic among young adults. Nursing students represent a critical population for early risk detection due to their future role in healthcare. This study aimed to assess T2DM risk and its determinants among nursing students. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 nursing students at Poltekkes Kemenkes Palu. T2DM risk was assessed using the FINDRISC instrument. Independent variables included BMI, waist circumference, physical activity, family history, and smoking status. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. The majority (88%) had mild risk, while 9% had moderate and 3% had severe risk. Central obesity (AOR=32.15; p<0.001), family history of diabetes (AOR=12.76; p<0.001), and overweight/obesity (AOR=8.42; p=0.002) were significant independent predictors of elevated diabetes risk. One in eight nursing students is at moderate-to-severe T2DM risk. Central obesity, family history, and high BMI are key determinants, highlighting the need for targeted screening and preventive lifestyle interventions in this population.

Abstract

The coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is still suboptimal (52.5%). Limited maternal knowledge, skills, and low self-confidence in breastfeeding are the main factors causing breastfeeding failure. This study was conducted at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital (RSKIA). This study aimed to test the effectiveness of the Learning Practice model in lactation education on maternal knowledge, breastfeeding skills, self-efficacy, and success of exclusive breastfeeding. A quasi-experimental pre-post control group design involving 60 postpartum mothers was used. The intervention group received four education sessions while the control group received conventional education. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and chi-square tests. The intervention group showed significant improvements in knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy (p<0.001). Success of exclusive breastfeeding was higher in the intervention group (86.7%) compared to the control group (60%) (p=0.018). These findings suggest that experience-based and practice-based education helps mothers translate knowledge into confidence and effective breastfeeding behavior.
