Abstract

Objective: Older adults are more likely to experience anxiety disorders than depression. Common psychosocial problems in this population include loneliness, sadness, depression, and anxiety. Anxiety among older adults is often associated with fear of death, loss of independence, and feelings of abandonment after relocation to residential care facilities. This study aimed to determine the effect of mindfulness therapy on anxiety levels among older adults living in a residential care home. Methods: This quantitative study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 38 older adults with anxiety were recruited through purposive sampling from a residential care home in South Lampung, Indonesia. Anxiety levels were measured before and after the intervention, and the data were analyzed using a paired-samples t-test. Results: The mean anxiety score decreased from 21.05 before the intervention to 16.39 after mindfulness therapy. The paired-samples t-test showed a statistically significant reduction in anxiety levels (p < 0.001), indicating that mindfulness therapy effectively reduced anxiety among older adults. Conclusion: Mindfulness therapy significantly reduced anxiety levels among older adults living in a residential care home. These findings suggest that mindfulness therapy can be considered an effective non-pharmacological nursing intervention for managing anxiety in older adults.

Abstract

Introduction : Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term illness with an increasing number of cases each year, including at Depati Bahrin Regional Hospital, which has recorded a rising trend of patients undergoing hemodialysis year after year. This condition has a significant impact on the physical, psychological, and social aspects of patients, thereby affecting their quality of life. Factors such as self- efficacy, duration of undergoing hemodialysis, and adherence to therapy play an important role in maintaining or improving the patients’ quality of life. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy, duration of undergoing hemodialysis, and adherence to hemodialysis therapy with the quality of life of chronic kidney failure patients in the Hemodialysis Unit of Depati Bahrin Regional Hospital, Bangka Regency Method: The study was conducted in July 2025 using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 65 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the CKD Self-Efficacy (CKD-SE) and KDQOL-SF questionnaires, then analyzed bivariately. Result: The results showed a significant relationship between self-efficacy (p=0.000), duration of hemodialysis (p=0.000), and adherence to therapy (p=0.039) with the patients’ quality of life. Patients with high self-efficacy, who had been undergoing hemodialysis for more than one year, and who adhered to the therapy tended to have a better quality of life. Conclusion: This study recommends that healthcare providers strengthen their educational role and psychosocial support to improve patients’ self-efficacy and adherence, thereby enhancing the quality of life of chronic kidney failure patients optimally.

Abstract

Introduction : Cognitive decline is one of the long-term complications commonly found in patients with non-hemorrhagic stroke. This condition can affect the patient’s quality of life, ability to perform daily activities, and overall recovery process. Several risk factors such as advanced age, gender, family history of stroke, hypertension, history of cardiovascular disease, and smoking habits are suspected to contribute to this disorder. Objective: This study aims to determine the factors associated with cognitive decline in patients with non-hemorrhagic stroke at Depati Hamzah General Hospital Pangkalpinang in 2025 Method: This research employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 74 non-hemorrhagic stroke patients were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and medical records, and analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Result: The results showed a significant relationship between history of cardiovascular disease (p = 0.024), and smoking habits (p = 0.031) with cognitive decline in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients. Meanwhile, age (p = 0.228), gender (p = 0.714), family history of stroke (p = 0.580), and hypertension (p = 0.995) were not statistically associated with cognitive decline. Conclusion: This study suggests the importance of early detection and management of associated risk factors, including preventive education for vulnerable age groups, regular control of cardiovascular conditions, and promotion of a healthy lifestyle free from smoking as a preventive effort against further cognitive decline

Abstract

Introduction : Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic medical condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the metabolic needs of the body's tissues. When the heart's pumping function is impaired, blood can back up (congestion) in the lungs, liver, abdomen, or lower extremities, causing fluid buildup (edema) in these tissues. Objective: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic medical condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the metabolic needs of the body's tissues. When the heart's pumping function is impaired, blood can back up (congestion) in the lungs, liver, abdomen, or lower extremities, causing fluid buildup (edema) in these tissues Method: The type of research used is quantitative with the research design used being descriptive analytical through an approach. Cross Sectional namely conducting a cross tab between the dependent variable and the independent variable. The sample in this study was 92 CHF patients. Data analysis using the test pesonality with a confidence level of 95%. Result: The results of the study were to find out between the dependent variable, namely the quality of life in CHF patients and the independent variables consisting of self efficacy, six minute walk test And fatigue. The results of the statistical test of the self efficacy variable obtained a p value of 0.019, the variable six minute walk test obtained a p value of 0.009 and the variable fatigue obtained a p value of 0.000 Conclusion: It is recommended that patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) improve compliance with pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy through ongoing education, healthy lifestyle changes, and active family involvement in the care process to prevent relapse and improve quality of life

Abstract

Introduction : Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience a decline in physical and psychosocial functioning, which negatively impacts their quality of life. One of the main issues frequently encountered is chronic fatigue, as well as weak family support, which should serve as a key pillar in helping patients adapt to their chronic condition. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between fatigue and family support with the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis at Bakti Timah Hospital Pangkalpinang in 2025. Method: This research used a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 36 respondents selected using total sampling. The instruments used in the study were fatigue, family support, and quality of life questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Result: The results showed a significant relationship between fatigue and quality of life (p = 0.016; POR = 4.094; 95% CI: 1.385–12.104), and also a significant relationship between family support and quality of life (p = 0.033; POR = 0.771; 95% CI: 0.269–2.208). These findings indicate that the lower the fatigue level and the stronger the family support, the better the patient's quality of life Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that both fatigue and family support play an important role in the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. Promotive and preventive efforts in fatigue management and increased family involvement are highly recommended in nursing practice
