Abstract

High blood sugar levels are a sign of impaired metabolism in the body. High blood sugar levels with clinical symptoms are the cause of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of the study was to determine the risk factors for blood sugar levels based on community participation through early detection and monitoring of the main risk factors for non-communicable diseases at POSBINDU in the city of Yogyakarta. Data were obtained from the Non-Communicable Disease Information System (NCD-IS) of the Yogyakarta City Health Office in January - June 2022. The study was conducted with a case-control study (cases to controls ratio 1:2) with matched by sex and age group. Cases are people who have blood sugar levels ≥200 mg/dL as many as 169 people. Controls were people with blood sugar levels <200 mg/dL, with a total of 338 people. The analytical test used was the Chi-square test. Physical activity was significantly associated (p-value 0.009; 95% CI 0.55 – 0.91). There is a relationship between lack of physical activity and with the incidence of abnormal blood sugar levels. Lack of physical activity affects blood sugar levels to be abnormal.

Abstract

Hypertension is a silent disease, because people do not know that they have hypertension before checking their blood pressure. Efforts to treat hypertension can be done with pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy. Warm water foot soaking is considered a simple and low-cost non-pharmacological therapy with minimal side effects. The aim of this study was to see whether there was an effect of soaking feet in warm water to reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension. This study used a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study were all 48 patients suffering from hypertension in the treatment room. Sampling used the consecutive sampling technique with a total sample of 32 people. Data were collected using observation sheets and analyzed using the Chi-square test and obtained systolic blood pressure with a value of p = 0,036, diastolic blood pressure with a value of p = <0,001. There was an influence of hydrotherapy: soaking feet in warm water to reduce blood pressure in hypertension sufferers at Labuang Baji Hospital, Makassar. It is recommended to soak the feet in warm water in the morning and evening for 15 minutes at a temperature of 37–40°C to achieve optimal results.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that occurs due to the body's inability to produce and/or use insulin effectively, resulting in high blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) accounts for 90% of all diabetes cases globally, with significant contributing factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and poor dietary habits. In 2019, Indonesia ranked seventh in the world for the number of diabetes cases, with 10.7 million individuals affected. This research used a retrospective, observational, descriptive-analytic approach to assess kidney dysfunction in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, using the CKD-EPI equation to estimate eGFR.. The eGFR analysis revealed that most patients had eGFR values below the normal threshold of <90 mL/min/1.73 m², with an average of 77.5 ± 28.51 mL/min/1.73 m², indicating kidney impairment at the early stage. The largest group (45%) showed normal kidney function, while 21% had mild dysfunction. Patients with kidney impairment (eGFR < 90 mL/ min/ 1.73m²) had a higher average fasting blood glucose level (240 ± 82.9 mg/dL) compared to those without kidney impairment. These findings emphasized the importance of early detection and intervention for managing both blood glucose levels and kidney function effectively. Early detection of kidney impairment in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients is crucial in preventing further complications and preserving kidney health.

Abstract

Surgical procedures or operations were treatments that used invasive methods. After SC, patients were usually given analgesics to relieve pain; however, despite receiving analgesics, patients still complained of pain. After SC, patients were advised to mobilize, but many patients still experienced pain and were afraid to mobilize due to concerns that the surgical sutures might open. Quantum Touch was a nonpharmacological intervention within nursing care that played a significant role in reducing pain levels and accelerating the mobilization process among patients. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of Quantum Touch in reducing postoperative pain and accelerating mobilization in post-cesarean section patients at RSUD Dr. MM. Dunda Limboto. This research was a quantitative study using a true experimental design to analyze the effect of Quantum Touch on pain and mobilization. The average pain score in the intervention group was 4,40, while in the control group it was 6,40. The results of the Mann-Whitney test showed that there was a significant effect of Quantum Touch on pain scores in SC patients (p = <0,001). Similarly, for mobilization, the statistical findings demonstrated that Quantum Touch significantly influenced mobilization acceleration in Sectio caesarea patients (p = 0,001). Quantum Touch was effective in reducing pain and accelerating mobilization in post-SC patients.

Abstract

Adolescent obesity is emerging as a global public health concern, primarily driven by unbalanced dietary habits and a lack of physical activity. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the consumption of sugary, salty, and fatty foods and the incidence of obesity among adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 122 subjekts selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using the chi-square statistical test. The findings revealed a significant association between the consumption of sugary foods (p <0.001) and fatty foods (p <0.001) with adolescent obesity, while no significant link was found between salty food consumption and obesity (p = 0.160). These results highlight the need for early prevention strategies through regulating the intake of sugary and fatty foods, promoting balanced nutrition, and encouraging an active lifestyle to reduce future obesity risks.

Abstract

Adolescents were a vulnerable age group to nutritional problems due to rapid physical growth and development. These problems could be prevented through the implementation of a balanced diet supported by adequate nutritional knowledge, as the level of knowledge influenced food choices and the fulfillment of nutritional needs. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between balanced nutrition knowledge, dietary patterns, and the nutritional status of students at SMA Negeri 7 Bengkulu City. This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design involving 60 tenth-grade students who were selected through a cluster random sampling technique. The research instruments included informed consent, a balanced nutrition knowledge questionnaire, the Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ), and measurements of body weight and height to determine body mass index-for-age (BMI-for-age). The results showed that most students had poor nutritional knowledge (58.3%), unhealthy dietary patterns (51.7%), and non-normal nutritional status (46.7%). The Chi-square test indicated a significant relationship between nutritional knowledge and nutritional status (p = 0.029), as well as between dietary patterns and nutritional status (p = 0.037). These findings suggested that improving adolescents' nutritional status required interventions that not only enhanced knowledge but also promoted changes in eating behavior and supported a healthy food environment.

Abstract

Palliative care is a healthcare service that emphasizes addressing the holistic needs of patients, including physical, psychological, psychosocial, and spiritual aspects, particularly for those with chronic illnesses or life-threatening conditions. Nevertheless, its implementation in healthcare facilities continued to face challenges, especially regarding the limited availability of palliative services and the insufficient knowledge among nurses, who play a pivotal role in delivering care. This study aimed to examine the relationship between nurses’ knowledge and attitudes toward palliative care in inpatient wards. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional design. All nurses meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited as subjects through total sampling, resulting in a sample of 54 participants at Purwokerto Islamic Hospital. Data were collected using the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing (PCQN-I) to assess knowledge and the Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying (FATCOD-B)scale to evaluate attitudes. Data analysis was conducted using Spearman’s rank correlation test, yielding a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05) and a correlation coefficient of 0.610, indicating a moderately strong positive relationship, which demonstrates that nurses’ knowledge is associated with their attitudes toward palliative care. These findings suggested that enhancing nurses’ knowledge contributes to the development of more positive attitudes. Therefore, it remained essential to strengthen nurses’ competencies, particularly in the psychosocial and spiritual domains.

Abstract

Uterine fibroids were benign tumors that typically affected women of reproductive age. They developed from the smooth muscle of the uterus. Uterine fibroids are thought to grow in response to a combination of variables, one of which is age and the other is body mass index (BMI). Patients treated at the Gynecology Clinic of Prof. Dr. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Teaching Hospital in Medan were surveyed to determine the relationship between age, body mass index (BMI), and uterine fibroids. This study used an observational analytical design with a hospital-based case-control approach. Of the 281 patients enrolled between July 2022 and July 2024, 160 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed, consisting of 80 patients with uterine fibroids and 80 patients without uterine fibroids. Data were obtained from medical records and structured interviews, then analyzed using the Chi-square test through SPSS software version 27. The results of the study showed that the majority of uterine myoma patients were in the 35–50 years age group (73.8%) and had an obese BMI (68.8%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between age and body mass index (BMI) with the incidence of uterine myoma (p < 0,001). This study concludes that age and body mass index (BMI) are significantly associated with the incidence of uterine myoma. The highest risk is found among women of mature reproductive age (35–50 years) and those with an obese BMI category.

Abstract

Roselle tea (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is widely used as a traditional remedy for hypertension and hyperlipidemia, while mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is known to contain secondary metabolites with potential efficacy in the management of hypercholesterolemia. This study aimed to investigate the activity and mechanism of action of the combination of both plants as anti-hypercholesterolemic agents through a Network Pharmacology-based analysis. Active compound identification was performed using the KNApSAcK Family database, ADMET analysis was conducted using the pkCSM and ProTox servers, and protein-protein interactions were analyzed using Cytoscape and STRING. Mechanisms of action were further elucidated through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Pathwayy analyses using ShinyGO 0.77. The results indicated that β-sitosterol from mangosteen occupied a central role in the anti-hypercholesterolemic interaction network, as indicated by the highest degree value (12.6658), while β-sitosterol, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, and quercetin from roselle were found to regulate key target genes including ABCA1, APOA1, BAX, BCL2, CASP3, and CD36. These genes were involved in lipid metabolism and the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, which represents a primary complication of hypercholesterolemia. Further research is warranted to validate the efficacy of the combination of extracts or active compounds from both plants, both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive, incurable condition that requires lifelong renal replacement therapy, one of which is hemodialysis. Patients undergoing hemodialysis often experience varying degrees of anxiety, necessitating interventions to help manage it. This study aimed to analyze the effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy and health education based on the Theory of Planned Behavior on anxiety levels in chronic kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis at AN-Nisa Hospital. The study used a quantitative method with the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) questionnaire to measure anxiety levels. The intervention was provided through progressive muscle relaxation therapy and health education using standard operating procedures (SOPs) and leaflets compiled based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. The results of the univariate analysis showed that after the intervention, most subjects did not experience anxiety, namely 32 subjects (97.0%). The Wilcoxon test results in the intervention group showed a p-value of <0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of the intervention on reducing anxiety. Research findings indicated that a combination of progressive muscle relaxation therapy and health education based on the Theory of Planned Behavior effectively reduces anxiety levels in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. This intervention can be considered as a nursing approach to managing anxiety in hemodialysis patients.
