Abstract

Background: Non-compliance with both medical and non-medical therapy regimens, such as dietary management, can lead to elevated blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. Additionally, disturbances in circadian rhythms can impact glucose metabolism. The combination of these factors requires further investigation to understand their role in increasing glucose levels. Understanding how dietary non-adherence and circadian rhythm disturbances affect glucose metabolism may help improve glycemic control. Objective: This study aims to assess dietary non-adherence and circadian rhythm disturbances in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus and uncontrolled blood sugar. Case: A 65-year-old male patient was admitted to the inpatient unit from the emergency department. He had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus since 2002. Blood sugar monitoring was performed every 12 hours using a sliding scale. Despite receiving a hospital-prescribed diet, the patient consumed additional foods such as bread, donuts, biscuits, and milk from outside sources. The patient also exhibited an irregular sleep pattern, sleeping only about 5 hours per night, going to bed after 9 p.m., waking up frequently during the night, and eating snacks (e.g., small bread) before sleep. On the first day, the morning glucose level (GDS) was 313 mg/dL and 140 mg/dL in the evening. On the second day, the morning GDS was 228 mg/dL, and 138 mg/dL in the evening. On the third day, the morning GDS was 145 mg/dL. The patient was discharged in the afternoon with an increased insulin dose from 6 to 8 units. Conclusion: Dietary non-adherence and circadian rhythm disturbances are potential risk factors for elevated blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Providing health education, continuous monitoring, and support to both the patient and family can encourage adherence to medical regimens and improve health outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Virtual exchange programs offer several benefits, including enhancing students’ knowledge, promoting technological literacy, and fostering cross-cultural exchange between countries. However, student participation in virtual exchanges remains relatively low.Objective: This study aimed to compare the motivation to participate in virtual exchange programs between nursing students with and without prior experience in online courses. Methods: A comparative study design with purposive sampling was used. Nursing students who had previously participated in online courses (n = 53) and those who had not (n = 47) completed a 29-item motivation questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test to assess differences in motivation between the two groups.Results: Students with prior online course experience demonstrated higher motivation to participate in virtual exchanges (84.8%) compared to those without such experience (70.4%). The Mann–Whitney U test revealed a significant difference in motivation between the two groups (p = 0.003).Conclusion: Online course participation appears to be a motivating factor for nursing students to engage in virtual exchange programs. Encouraging involvement in online learning may serve as an effective strategy to prepare nursing students for future participation in international collaborations and the global healthcare market.

Abstract

Background: Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are often in critical, life-threatening conditions, which are typically sudden and unplanned. This situation can lead to significant anxiety among their family members. Therapeutic communication is one strategy used by nurses to help reduce the anxiety levels of patients’ families.Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between nurses’ therapeutic communication skills and the anxiety levels of patients’ family members in the ICU.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using purposive sampling to select 80 participants. Data were collected using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and a therapeutic communication questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was performed, and the Spearman Rho test was used to assess correlations, with a significance level set at ? = 0.05. Results: The findings showed that 58 respondents (72.5%) perceived nurses’ therapeutic communication as being in the “good” category, while 52 respondents (65.0%) experienced mild levels of anxiety. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between therapeutic communication and the anxiety levels of patients’ family members, with a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05) and a correlation coefficient of r = -0.351.Conclusion: The results indicate that better therapeutic communication by nurses is associated with lower anxiety levels among family members of ICU patients. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses enhance their therapeutic communication techniques to help reduce family members’ anxiety during ICU patient care.

Abstract

Background: Developmental stimulation is a shared responsibility among family members and is essential for children to achieve age-appropriate developmental milestones. However, limited evidence exists on how mothers perceive this crucial issue, particularly those with stunted toddlers. Objective: This study aimed to explore maternal perceptions of providing developmental stimulation to stunted toddlers living on the remote islands of Indonesia and how these perceptions influence their children’s growth and development.Methods: A descriptive phenomenological design was employed, involving eight mothers of stunted toddlers residing in the unique context of the remote islands in Karimun District, Riau Islands Province, Indonesia. Data were collected using demographic data sheets, interview guides, field notes, and audio recordings. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s method.Results: Two main themes emerged: (1) child development was perceived in terms of intelligence, speech, and play; and (2) concerns regarding developmental issues. Two main themes emerged: (1) child development was perceived in terms of intelligence, speech, and play; and (2) concerns regarding developmental issues.Conclusions: The findings revealed gaps in maternal understanding of child development among mothers of stunted toddlers. It is recommended that the heads of Community Health Centers and relevant stakeholders implement early detection and intervention strategies, provide health education on child development, and enhance the capacity of village health volunteers and parents to monitor toddler development. These efforts are crucial for improving the well-being and future of stunted toddlers and should be part of a comprehensive strategy.

Abstract

Background: Pressure ulcers require appropriate management to prevent complications and reduce mortality. Several factors can delay wound healing, including diabetes mellitus, malignancies, inadequate nutrition, hypoalbuminemia, anemia, and immobility. Therefore, selecting the appropriate wound dressing is crucial. Zinc oxide and chitosan dressings have been shown to enhance wound healing and promote tissue epithelialization.Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of zinc oxide and chitosan dressing application in a patient with a grade IV pressure ulcer following surgical debridement and presenting with multiple complicating factors.Case: This case study involved the application of zinc oxide and chitosan dressings in a patient with a grade IV pressure ulcer post-surgical debridement. During the first month, the treatment was combined with antimicrobial dressings. Dressings were changed every 2 to 3 days. Ulcer severity was assessed using the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel criteria, and healing progress was measured with the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing.Conclusion: The pressure ulcer showed progressive improvement over 8 months. However, complete healing was not achieved due to several complicating factors that delayed the healing process, including comorbidities, immobility, inadequate nutrition, urinary catheter use, the severity of the ulcer, anemia, and hypoalbuminemia

Abstract

Healthcare professionals are integral to the effective operation of health systems. Despite their commitment, many experience persistent stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion. Although resilience is frequently perceived as an individual characteristic, it is equally influenced by organizational support and workplace conditions. This editorial underscores the necessity of redefining resilience as a systemic responsibility. By fostering environments that cultivate resilience, healthcare systems not only safeguard their workforce but also improve patient outcomes and the overall efficacy of health systems.
