Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with significant global mortality rates. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2012) reported that in 2011, over 508,000 women worldwide died from this disease, which accounts for the highest percentage of new cases at 43.3% and a mortality rate of 12.9%. Existing therapies, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, often accompany side effects such as pain, weakness, hair loss, and menstrual disorders. Acupressure, as a form of non-pharmacological therapy, has the potential to mitigate these side effects through the application on meridian points LI4, SP6, and LR3, selected for their relevance to the energy flow affecting pain and the reproductive system. This study investigates the impact of acupressure on points LI4, SP6, and LR3 concerning pain and menstrual disorders in patients with carcinoma mammae undergoing chemotherapy in Bengkulu City. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design and a two-group pretest-posttest with control approach, this study involved 30 participants divided into two groups: 15 in the control group and 15 in the intervention group, selected through purposive sampling. The findings indicated no significant differences in the reduction of pain and menstrual disorders between the groups, with a p-value showing no statistical significance. This suggests that acupressure might be more effective if applied continuously in the early stages of chemotherapy. These findings invite further research to explore the therapeutic potential of acupressure in managing breast cancer, particularly for mitigating chemotherapy side effects.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the significant relationship between self-efficacy and lifestyle on the prevalence of hypertension. In this context, self-efficacy is defined as an individual's belief in managing blood pressure through health behaviors, while an unhealthy lifestyle includes habits such as a high-salt diet and minimal physical activity. This research utilized a quantitative method with a descriptive correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. Out of 70 respondents, it was found that 27 individuals (38.6%) had sufficient self-efficacy, 36 individuals (51.4%) demonstrated an unhealthy lifestyle, and 37 individuals (52.9%) suffered from hypertension. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between self-efficacy (p-value = 0.000) and lifestyle (p-value = 0.000) with the incidence of hypertension. These results support the theory that enhancing self-efficacy and shifting towards a healthier lifestyle can reduce the risk of hypertension, providing significant contributions to the literature and practices in hypertension management. Abstrak: Studi ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi hubungan yang signifikan antara self-efficacy dan gaya hidup terhadap prevalensi hipertensi. Dalam konteks ini, self-efficacy diartikan sebagai keyakinan individu dalam mengelola tekanan darah melalui perilaku kesehatan, sedangkan gaya hidup tidak sehat mencakup kebiasaan seperti diet tinggi garam dan minim aktivitas fisik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain deskriptif korelasional dan pendekatan cross-sectional. Dari total 70 responden, ditemukan bahwa 27 orang (38,6%) memiliki self-efficacy yang cukup, 36 orang (51,4%) menunjukkan gaya hidup tidak sehat, dan 37 orang (52,9%) menderita hipertensi. Analisis statistik menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara self-efficacy (p-value = 0,000) dan gaya hidup (p-value = 0,000) dengan kejadian hipertensi. Hasil ini mendukung teori bahwa peningkatan self-efficacy dan perubahan ke arah gaya hidup yang lebih sehat dapat mengurangi risiko hipertensi, memberikan kontribusi penting terhadap literatur dan praktik dalam manajemen hipertensi.

Abstract

Hypertension, characterized by an abnormal increase in blood pressure, often triggers headaches at the back of the head and neck due to vascular disturbances. This study explores the effectiveness of a holistic non-pharmacological intervention—comprising Deep Breathing Relaxation Technique, Qur'anic recitation (murottal), and Hypertension Exercise—to alleviate these headaches in hypertensive patients at Mekarjaya Community Health Center, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilized a Quasi-Experimental Design with a Pretest and Posttest Control Group. The intervention group underwent IMAS therapy, an integrated approach combining the three techniques, while the control group continued only with routine medication. Conducted in December 2022 with 16 participants in each group, results from both Dependent and Independent T-tests (p < 0.05) confirmed the significant effect of the interventions. This study not only underscores the potential of such integrative therapies in managing hypertension-related headaches but also contributes to broader health care practices by offering a viable alternative to conventional medication. The findings align with and extend existing research on relaxation therapies for hypertension, suggesting substantial benefits in patient well-being and symptom management.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of informed consent within the realm of independent midwifery, with a specific focus on the communication processes and legal obligations encountered in Midwife Nela’s practice. Despite the pivotal role of informed consent in safeguarding patient rights and ensuring ethical medical practice, a significant challenge persists due to the inadequate patient awareness regarding their rights as stipulated under the 1945 Constitution. This issue often results in patients entrusting midwives without a comprehensive understanding of potential risks. Employing a normative juridical approach, this research synthesizes both primary and secondary data to explore how informed consent is executed and the attendant challenges. The findings reveal that Midwife Nela’s practice is characterized by a personalized approach to patient communication and clarity in the conveyance of information, which distinctly supports the establishment of legal and therapeutic relationships between midwives and patients. The study further discusses the implications of these findings for the enhancement of informed consent practices in independent midwifery across Indonesia. It underscores the necessity for midwives to not only fulfill legal standards but also engage in effective communication, thereby facilitating patient autonomy and informed decision-making. Recommendations are provided for improving health policies and practices, which aim to strengthen the legal protections for both patients and healthcare providers in the midwifery sector.

Abstract

The problem of drug shortages, where medications are unavailable or difficult to obtain, can significantly impact public health and disrupt the national health insurance system (JKN). This study aims to address this issue by developing the MELIASI (Multiple Link Collaboration) application as a collaborative solution among health facilities within a district. The research method used is qualitative, employing in-depth interviews with stakeholders involved in drug procurement management. The results show that weak collaboration among health facilities leads to suboptimal utilization of available drugs. The MELIASI application, still in the prototype stage, is expected to optimize drug distribution by leveraging surplus stocks from other health facilities. Implementing this application can reduce procurement wait times from an average of 7-14 days to just 2-3 days, enhance distribution efficiency, and ensure better drug availability across various health facilities. This study makes a significant contribution to pharmaceutical information management and offers a model that can be applied in other regions to improve drug availability. Additionally, the findings indicate that digital technology in drug procurement management can provide innovative solutions to address drug shortages and enhance overall public health. Abstrak: Masalah kekosongan obat adalah kondisi di mana obat tidak tersedia atau sulit didapatkan, yang dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan masyarakat dan mengganggu sistem penjaminan kesehatan nasional (JKN). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut dengan mengembangkan aplikasi MELIASI (Multiple Link Kolaborasi) sebagai solusi kolaboratif antar fasilitas kesehatan di suatu wilayah kabupaten. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara mendalam terhadap stakeholder terkait manajemen pengadaan obat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi yang lemah antar fasilitas kesehatan menyebabkan tidak optimalnya penggunaan obat yang tersedia. Aplikasi MELIASI, yang masih dalam tahap prototipe, diharapkan dapat mengoptimalkan distribusi obat dengan memanfaatkan stok berlebih dari fasilitas kesehatan lain. Implementasi aplikasi ini dapat mengurangi waktu tunggu pengadaan obat dari rata-rata 7-14 hari menjadi hanya 2-3 hari, meningkatkan efisiensi distribusi, dan memastikan ketersediaan obat yang lebih baik di berbagai fasilitas kesehatan. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi penting dalam manajemen informasi kefarmasian dan menawarkan model yang dapat diterapkan di daerah lain untuk meningkatkan ketersediaan obat. Hasil ini juga menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan teknologi digital dalam manajemen pengadaan obat dapat memberikan solusi inovatif untuk mengatasi masalah kekosongan obat dan meningkatkan kesehatan masyarakat secara keseluruhan.

Abstract

Stunting is a critical global issue, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia, where it significantly impacts children's health and development. This study aimed to explore the experiences of families in caring for children with stunting in Timor, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, and nine families were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and observations over one month. Thematic analysis, supported by NVivo 14, was used to identify recurring themes. The study's findings are framed by the Family-Centered Nursing (FCN) theory, focusing on five key tasks: recognizing the problem, decision-making, caregiving capacity, modifying the environment, and utilizing healthcare services. Results indicated that while families recognized the issue of stunting, many attributed it to genetic factors. However, after guidance from healthcare workers, families engaged in available interventions, including attending Posyandu and participating in the government’s Supplementary Feeding Program. Families also expressed the need for educational reinforcement about stunting, particularly regarding its environmental and nutritional causes. Practical implications suggest the necessity of empowering families with skills to prepare complementary feeding using local resources and encouraging greater involvement of fathers in caregiving roles. Multisectoral approaches that involve healthcare, education, and social support are essential to effectively address stunting prevention. Abstrak: Stunting adalah masalah global yang krusial, terutama di negara berkembang seperti Indonesia, di mana hal ini memiliki dampak signifikan terhadap kesehatan dan perkembangan anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pengalaman keluarga dalam merawat anak dengan stunting di Timor, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia. Pendekatan fenomenologi kualitatif digunakan, dan sembilan keluarga dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi selama satu bulan. Analisis tematik, dengan dukungan NVivo 14, digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi tema yang berulang. Temuan penelitian ini dibingkai oleh teori Family-Centered Nursing (FCN), dengan fokus pada lima tugas utama: mengenali masalah, pengambilan keputusan, kapasitas perawatan, memodifikasi lingkungan, dan memanfaatkan layanan kesehatan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa meskipun keluarga mengenali masalah stunting, banyak yang mengaitkannya dengan faktor genetik. Namun, setelah mendapatkan bimbingan dari tenaga kesehatan, keluarga terlibat dalam intervensi yang tersedia, termasuk menghadiri Posyandu dan berpartisipasi dalam Program Makanan Tambahan pemerintah. Keluarga juga menyatakan perlunya penguatan edukasi tentang stunting, terutama terkait dengan penyebab lingkungan dan gizi. Implikasi praktis menunjukkan perlunya memberdayakan keluarga dengan keterampilan untuk menyiapkan makanan pendamping ASI menggunakan sumber daya lokal dan mendorong keterlibatan yang lebih besar dari ayah dalam peran pengasuhan. Pendekatan multisektoral yang melibatkan kesehatan, pendidikan, dan dukungan sosial sangat penting untuk secara efektif menangani pencegahan stunting.
