Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease with a rapidly increasing global prevalence and is commonly associated with peripheral complications, including decreased foot sensitivity. Impaired peripheral circulation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus increases the risk of foot ulcers and other serious complications. Buerger Allen exercise is a non-pharmacological intervention that may improve peripheral blood flow and foot sensitivity through postural changes and muscle contractions. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of Buerger Allen exercise on foot sensitivity in patients with diabetes mellitus. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Buerger Allen Exercise in improving foot sensitivity among patients with Diabetes Mellitus at Sejiran Setason Regional Public Hospital, West Bangka, in 2025. Method: The study used a quantitative design with a quasi-experimental method, employing a pretest-posttest control group design with a total sample of 36 participants. The research involved two groups: an intervention group and a control group. Foot sensitivity was measured using the monofilament test before and after the intervention. The Buerger Allen Exercise therapy was carried out for five consecutive days, twice daily in the morning and afternoon. Result: The results showed a significant difference in foot sensitivity levels after the intervention in the treatment group (p-value = 0.00; p < 0.05). This indicates that Buerger Allen Exercise is effective in improving foot sensitivity in Diabetes Mellitus patients. Conclusion: It is recommended that this therapy be included as one of the nursing interventions in the management of Diabetes Mellitus at Sejiran Setason Regional Public Hospital, West Bangka.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a major global health problem and a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and premature mortality worldwide. The prevalence of hypertension continues to increase and is frequently associated with serious complications such as heart failure, stroke, kidney damage, and visual impairment. Several factors, including age, physical inactivity, and smoking habits, contribute to the development of hypertension-related complications. Understanding these associated factors is essential to strengthen preventive and promotive strategies in managing hypertension complications. Objective: Hypertension or high blood pressure is a serious medical condition that significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disorders, and visual impairments. Data from 2024 show an increase in complications, with 70 cases related to heart failure and stroke, and 17 cases involving kidney damage and vision loss. Method: This study aims to identify the factors associated with the increased incidence of complications in hypertensive patients at Sejiran Setason Regional Public Hospital, West Bangka, in 2025. This research employs a quantitative method with a correlational analytic design and a cross-sectional approach, where independent and dependent variables are measured at a single point in time. Result: The results indicate a significant relationship between age, physical activity, and smoking habits with the occurrence of complications in hypertensive patients. Older individuals have a higher risk of hypertension-related complications. Additionally, a lack of physical activity and smoking habits further increase this risk. Conclusion: Based on these findings, preventive efforts are recommended through health lifestyle education and regular screening for high-risk groups. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects of these factors on the progression of hypertension complications.

Abstract

Introduction: Parenting styles play a crucial role in adolescents’ psychosocial development, including emotional health, social relationships, and cognitive growth. The manner in which parents nurture their children can influence adolescents’ levels of anxiety and depression. Parenting that is authoritative tends to promote better mental health, while an authoritarian style is commonly related to an increased risk of psychological problems. Objective: This systematic review seeks to investigate the impact of various parenting styles authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful on the psychosocial well-being of adolescents. Method: The literature review included studies published from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2024, which were sourced from four different databases: PubMed, ProQuest, JSTOR, and Garuda. The target population was adolescents aged 11 to 19 years. Parenting styles were evaluated using the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), while mental health outcomes were assessed through various instruments, This included measures such as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), and the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument, Version 2 (MAYSI-2), and the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF). Three reviewers independently carried out article screening, data extraction, and quality assessment, following the PRISMA framework. Study quality was further appraised using the CASP checklist. The extracted information included author details, type of intervention, facilitator, research setting, number and length of sessions, as well as the methods or media employed. Result: A total of nine articles involving 2,036 participants were included. The results indicate that parenting styles have a notable influence on adolescents’ psychosocial well-being. Adolescents with authoritative parents showed higher psychological flexibility, whereas those with authoritarian parents experienced increased anxiety, depression, and socio-emotional challenges. Conclusion: The review concludes that authoritative parenting is the most effective approach for promoting adolescents’ psychosocial well-being. It enhances self-esteem and psychological flexibility while lowering anxiety and depression. Parenting education and targeted interventions should therefore be encouraged in clinical practice to foster authoritative parenting and promote adolescents’ mental well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder marked by persistent joint inflammation that causes pain, stiffness, and impaired mobility. While pharmacological treatment helps manage symptoms, some patients experience side effects or inadequate pain control. Therefore, holistic approaches involving psychological, lifestyle, and physical therapies are increasingly considered to support overall well-being and complement medical management. Objective: This systematic review aims to assess the effectiveness of holistic interventions in reducing pain intensity among individuals with RA. Method: A systematic search of six databases PubMed, ProQuest, Garuda, JSTOR, ScienceDirect, and Wiley was conducted for studies published between 2020 and 2024. Eligible studies included RA patients whose pain intensity was measured using validated tools such as the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), or McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ). Two independent reviewers performed study selection and data extraction, while quality assessment followed PRISMA guidelines and the CASP Checklist. Results: Eleven studies comprising 607 participants met the inclusion criteria. The findings showed that holistic interventions including warm ginger compresses, Swedish massage, hand and foot massage, lavender aromatherapy, eucalyptus inhalation, Reiki therapy, and combined ginger compress with rheumatic exercise, were effective in reducing pain intensity in RA patients. Most studies reported significant improvements, with warm ginger compress being the most consistently effective method across various settings. Conclusion: Holistic approaches demonstrate meaningful benefits in reducing pain and supporting comfort in individuals with RA, particularly among older adults. Consistent application and appropriate duration of therapy enhance effectiveness. Overall, holistic care serves as a valuable complementary strategy that promotes patient-centered pain management and improves quality of life.
