Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) type 2 is rapidly becoming one of the world's most common non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and one of the most frightening problems in public health. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus must be able to manage their disease independently to control blood glucose and prevent complications. Community empowerment and social engineering can be done by nurses through remote communication with patients via telenursing. Identifying the Effect of Telenursing on Self-Care Management and Quality of Life for Members of the Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS) with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Using the pre-experiment design method with one group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 45 respondents, 15 male respondents and 30 female respondents, taking the sample using accidental sampling. Data collection using the Summary of Diabetes Self Care Activities (SDSCA) and Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) instruments the test used is the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. All manuscripts must contain an abstract, which summarizes the purposes of the work, the methods, the most significant results, and the conclusions. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon test, with a 95% confidence level p-value (0.001). There is an effect of telenursing therapy on improving the quality of life of PROLANIS members with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is hoped that respondents and elders can improve self-care management and quality of life through the stages of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME), which can be carried out daily under health workers’ guidance through telenursing or family.

Abstract

Giving alloxan can cause disruption of insulin production resulting in hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia causes Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) resulting in oxidative stress and liver cell damage. The use of natural ingredients, one of which is garlic (Allium sativum L) in the form of boiled water, because it contains flavonoid and organosulfur compounds. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the histology of the liver of mice (Mus musculus) induced by alloxan after being given a decoction of garlic (Allium sativum L). This study used experimental research with a completely randomized design method on mice consisting of 6 groups with 4 replications each. The groups in this study consisted of a negative control group (without treatment), a positive control group (alloxan injection) a comparison control group (alloxan injection + glibenclamide) treatment groups at doses I, II and III (alloxan-induced + garlic boiled water (Allium sativum L) respectively 20 gr, 40 gr and 60 gr). Histology of the liver of mice (Mus musculus) was made by paraffin method with Hematoxylin Eosin (HE) staining. The result showed that there was a significant difference due to the value (p<0,05) but for a KP and P3 there was no significant difference with the value (p>0,05) on hydropic degeneration. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the decoction of garlic (Allium sativum L) has an effect on the alloxan-induced liver histology of mice (Mus musculus).

Abstract

Nurses are at the fore frontof taking care, prevention, and providing support and education almost at the same time without considering their psychological state in treating patients with Covid-19 for 24 hours. Most health workers have experienced and will experience some physical and psychological difficulties that are beyond their capacity. The importance of the knowledge and attitudes of nurses to provide professional nursing services during a pandemic has an impact on the ability of nurses to control the symptoms of mental health disorders. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes about Covid-19 and mental health of nurses. This research had a correlational design with a cross-sectional study approach. The study population was 109 nurses and 53 of them were taken by proportional random sampling technique. The correlation test was made using a Spearman rank test. This study suggested a moderate relationship between knowledge about Covid-19 and mental health of workers (p-value) =0.001<=0.05, correlation coefficient=0.443 anda weak relationship between attitudes about Covid -19 and mental health (p-value) = 0.018 < = 0.05 correlation coefficient value=0.294). There is a relationship between knowledge and attitudes about Covid-19 with the mental health of nurses. It is suggested, particularly to the local Hospital of South east Sulawesi, tomake a policy to improve the mental health status of nurses.

Abstract

Cigarette smoke contains oxidants or free radicals, about 4700 harmful chemicals. The high level of free radicals in the body triggers the emergence of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which results in oxidative stress. This can occur if there is an imbalance between the number of oxidants and antioxidants. In this process, there is an O2 leak that will turn into a superoxide radical (O2-) that can form pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6. The purpose is to determine the effect of avocado juice administration on Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) levels and IL-6 levels in male Wistar rats exposed to cigarette smoke. This study used Post Test Only Control Group Design. Samples were taken from 20 male rats that entered the inclusion criteria and divided into four random groups, namely K1, K2, K3, and K4. K1 is the control group with standard feed without exposure to cigarette smoke; K2 is the treatment group with standard feed given exposure to cigarette smoke, K3 was given standard feed plus avocado juice at a dose of 2.7 grams /day. Meanwhile, the K4 group was given standard feed plus avocado juice at a 5.4 grams/day dose. However, both were given 14 days of exposure to cigarette smoke. On the 15th day, male Wistar rats were drawn blood to examine the SOD using spectrophotometry and IL-6 using ELISA. Data were analysed using the One-Way Anova different test and continued with the Post hoc Tukey test. The average SOD levels were highest in the K1 with a value of 83,23, and IL- 6 levels were highest in the K2 with a value of 79,93. The One-Way ANOVA test obtained results that SOD and IL-6 levels in each group with a value of P<0.05, which means that there were significant differences in influence. Giving avocado juice has an effect on increasing levels of SOD and decreasing levels of IL-6.

Abstract

A Cigarette is one of the free oxygen radicals that interfere with a free radical’s balance and antioxidant in the body. It involves oxidative stress. Oxidative stress involves a failure system that triggers an inflammation response in endothelial class blood vessels that have pinned exiting the inflammation reaction in the form of cytokines, especially TNF-α. It functioned to know the effect of awarding avocado juice to MDA and TNF-α. This research used the experimental laboratory method that approached a post-test-only control group design. The subject of this research used 20 Wister rats, which kind of inclusion. It is shared in 4 sections as random services. Such as K1, K2, K3 and K4. K1 has given a standard weft. It has been done without a smoking display. Meanwhile, K2 has given a standard weft that has used a smoking display for 14 days. K3 and K4 have been given avocado juice doses. It was as much as 2,7g/200g weight/day and 54g/200g weight/day. On the fifth day, the specimen has taken the blood. It could know the results of MDA and Tnf-a. The data analysis used the normality test by Shapiro Wilk, homogeneity, Levene, and one-way ANOVA test. The result of this research has the highest rate. The highest rate was K2. It could be proven for the One-Way Anova MDA and Tnf rate test. It showed a significant difference between categories, which is p=0,000 scores. The conclusion of this research has been giving avocado juice with 2,7g/200g weight/day and 5,4g/200g weight/day. Then, it could reduce the MDA and Tnf-a rate on the Wistar rat. It has been since the smoking display.

Abstract

Lead is a toxic air pollutant that can damage human health, one of the areas with a high level of hazardous air population is Cimahi City, West Java, Indonesia. High lead levels can affect the decrease in erythrocytes, resulting in anemia. This study aims to determine the relationship between lead levels and the number of erythrocytes in the blood. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive method, with 18 participants. The blood samples obtained were examined for lead levels using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) with a wavelength of 283nm. The number of erythrocytes was analysed using a Hematology Analyzer. The data collection technique used was primary data which was then processed using the Correlation Test. Of the 18 respondents, one respondent was found to have high lead levels, which were at 0.1413 mg/L with a dangerous level category. Meanwhile, the results of the number of erythrocytes showed that two respondents had several erythrocytes above normal with the highest value being 6,170,000 cells/mm3 with a normal value of 4,400,000-5,900,000 cells/mm3. The results of the statistical correlation test seen from the significance value obtained a result of 0.183, this value is greater than the significant value of 0.05 so it can be stated that there is no relationship between lead levels and the number of erythrocytes. After testing, it was concluded that there was no significant relationship between lead levels and the number of erythrocytes in the blood.
