Abstract

Cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal cell growth that invades body tissues, causing pain and discomfort. This pain and discomfort result from tumor pressure on nerves or side effects of treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Self-Selected Individual Music Therapy (SeLIMuT) in reducing pain in cancer patients at Dharmais Cancer Hospital. The research method employed is a case study with pre-test and post-test pain level measurements and monitoring responses during each therapy session. The study involved 10 patients experiencing mild to moderate pain. Music therapy was conducted four times over two days, with each session lasting 15 minutes. Music chosen by the patients themselves created distraction and relaxation effects while stimulating endorphin release, contributing to a reduced perception of pain. The results showed that the SeLIMuT intervention was effective and safe, significantly reducing pain levels measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). In addition to pain relief, music therapy provided emotional comfort and relaxation for the patients. Future studies are recommended to involve a larger sample size, include various cancer types and palliative treatments, and explore different music genres and the psychological impacts of music therapy.

Abstract

Uric acid is a common metabolic disorder among the elderly, often associated with dietary patterns, especially high-purine protein intake. Improper dietary management can worsen uric acid levels and increase the risk of chronic complications. This study aimed to determine the relationship between protein diet and uric acid levels in the elderly at the Outpatient Polyclinic of Mapolda South Sumatra. This research used a quantitative cross-sectional design with purposive sampling involving 54 elderly participants aged ≥60 years diagnosed with uric acid levels. The independent variable was protein diet measured by a questionnaire, and the dependent variable was uric acid level measured using the Glucose Uri Acid (GCU) Easy Touch device. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Most respondents with poor protein diets (95.7%) had high uric acid levels. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between protein diet and uric acid levels (p = 0.001). There is a significant relationship between protein diet and uric acid levels. Elderly individuals with good protein diets tend to have normal uric acid levels. Community-based purine-restricted dietary education and intervention should be strengthened to prevent hyperuricemia among the elderly.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is an disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is a major public health problem in the world. One of the symptoms that arise from someone suffering from tuberculosis is hemodynamic disorders, especially respiratory pattern disorders. Objective: This study aims to describe the application of Active Cycle Breathing Technique (ACBT) training to hemodynamic status in pulmonary tuberculosis patients with problems with respiratory patterns at Siti Fatimah Regional Hospital, South Sumatra Province. Method: This study used a descriptive design with a case study approach on three pulmonary tuberculosis patients who experienced respiratory pattern disorders. The data obtained was analyzed by comparing respiratory patterns, hemodynamic status and Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) scores before and after intervention. Results: The third patient showed a stable hemodynamic status and a decrease in respiratory pattern disturbances from dyspnea to prone to eupnea. This was seen from a decrease in the MMRC score of one grade in each patient after being given ACBT training. Conclusion: ACBT training is an intervention that can be used to improve hemodynamic status in pulmonary tuberculosis patients with problems with respiratory patterns. Suggestion: Nurses can include ACBT training intervention as a complementary therapy for freezing and it is hoped that further research can add sessions in ACBT training and with a larger sample.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five in developing countries, including Indonesia. Poor nutritional status and unhealthy living environments are suspected contributors to the high incidence of ARI. Objective to determine the relationship between nutritional status and environmental factors with the incidence of ARI among toddlers in the working area of Gardu Harapan Public Health Center, Lais District, Musi Banyuasin Regency. This study used a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. A total of 105 mothers with children aged 0–59 months were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and medical records and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Approximately 60% of children experienced ARI. There was a significant relationship between nutritional status and ARI (p = 0.003), and between environmental factors and ARI (p = 0.003). Children with poor nutritional status and living in unhealthy environments had a higher risk of developing ARI. Nutritional status and environmental conditions are significantly associated with ARI in toddlers. Nutritional interventions and environmental improvements should be conducted simultaneously to reduce ARI incidence.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a non-communicable disease with increasing prevalence, including among adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between adolescents’ knowledge level and dietary habits with the risk of developing T2DM. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used with 30 students from SMPN 1 Tanjung Agung selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire on knowledge and diet, along with blood glucose measurement via glucometer. Chi-Square analysis revealed a significant association between knowledge level and diet with blood glucose levels (p = 0.000). Adolescents with good knowledge and regular dietary habits were 4.25 times more likely to have normal blood glucose levels. These findings highlight the importance of health education and the development of healthy eating behaviors from an early age as preventive strategies against T2DM.

Abstract

Menstruation occurs due to an increase in PGF2 and PGE2 levels, where these prostaglandins can cause contractility in the uterus, causing menstrual pain or what is called primary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea can be treated with pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. One of the non-pharmacological therapies to reduce primary dysmenorrhea pain is by giving chocolate drinks (Theobroma cacao) containing magnesium, theobromine and flavonoids that can reduce primary dysmenorrhea pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving chocolate drinks on reducing the primary dysmenorrhea pain scale in Bakti Ibu 2 Palembang junior high school students. This research design uses Pre Experimental quantitative research (one group pre test post test). The sampling method in the study used was Non Probability Sampling with Purposive Sampling technique.  The number of respondents was 22 including drop out. The instrument used was a pain scale observation sheet using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The p-value is 0.000 (<0.05) which means that there is an effect of giving chocolate drinks on reducing the pain scale of primary dysmenorrhea in female students of SMP Bakti Ibu 2 Palembang. From this study it can be concluded that there is an effect of giving chocolate drinks (Theobroma cacao) on reducing the pain scale of primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents.

Abstract

Leftover food among inpatients is an important indicator of hospital nutrition service quality, directly impacting nutritional intake and therapeutic effectiveness. High rates of leftover food, particularly in class III patients, highlight the need for an evaluation of factors influencing food consumption. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with leftover regular meals among class III inpatients at Dr. Hi. Abdul Moeloek General Hospital, Lampung Province. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted involving 74 class III inpatients. Data were collected through structured interviews and direct observation, and analyzed using bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test. The findings revealed significant associations between food taste (p = 0.000), food appearance (p = 0.047), and outside food consumption (p = 0.011) with patient food leftovers. These three factors were shown to influence the amount of food waste. Good taste and appealing food appearance reduced leftovers, whereas consuming food from outside increased them. Hospitals should improve the sensory quality and presentation of meals and enhance nutrition education for patients and their families to minimize outside food consumption and improve the effectiveness of clinical nutrition services.
