Abstract

Background: Smoking cessation is an important management for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), but many patients continue to smoke due to low motivation. Therefore, further studies exploring the motivation to quit smoking are needed. This study examines the relationship between lung function, disease severity, and motivation to quit in COPD patients.Methods: A correlational cross-sectional study was conducted at a pulmonary hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in February 2024. One hundred adults with COPD who were current smokers were chosen through random sampling. We used the Richmond Test to measure motivation to quit smoking, the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) questionnaire to assess the severity of COPD, and Peak flow meters to assess lung function by measuring peak expiratory flow (PEF). Descriptive statistics were provided to summarise the characteristics of the participants, and Spearman's rank correlation was used to analyse the relationships between the variables.Results: The average age of the participants was 65 years, the length of time they had been smoking was 23 years, and the number of cigarettes smoked each day was 23. Most respondents showed moderate motivation to quit smoking (70%) and had a diagnosis of severe (60%) COPD. There is a significant correlation between peak expiratory flow and the motivation to quit smoking (p = 0.03) and between the severity of the disease and the motivation to quit smoking (p = 0.04).Conclusion: These findings emphasise the importance of communicating PEF assessment results and disease severity to enhance COPD patients' motivation to quit smoking.

Abstract

Background: Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhea, arises from heightened prostaglandin production, leading to uterine cramps. This discomfort can interfere with daily activities. One recommended non-pharmacological approach to relieve this condition is practising the child's pose in yoga. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of this pose in reducing menstrual discomfort among students. Methods: The research was conducted at SMPN 2 Pamulihan during the period of July through August. This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The participants were 7th and 8th grade junior high school students experiencing primary dysmenorrhea who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pain assessment was conducted using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), a validated and widely accepted instrument for evaluating pain levels. The yoga intervention was implemented based on established Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to ensure consistency and adherence to protocol. Data were analysed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with the Wilcoxon test applied to assess the differences between pretest and posttest results. Results: Prior to the intervention, 25 participants (69.4%) experienced mild pain. Following the yoga sessions, 26 students (72.2%) reported mild pain. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference before and after the intervention (p = 0.000 < 0.05), indicating the potential of child's pose yoga as a non-pharmacological method for easing dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: The child's pose yoga technique shows promise in managing menstrual discomfort among adolescents, serving as a viable non-pharmacological alternative.

Abstract

Background: Elderly individuals with hypertension often face high stress levels, which can worsen their physical and psychological health. Self-efficacy, the belief in one's ability to manage challenges, plays a crucial role in coping with chronic illness. Research suggests that higher self-efficacy is linked to better stress management and improved health outcomes. In hypertensive elderly, strong self-efficacy may help reduce stress by promoting confidence in handling daily tasks and medical routines. Understanding this relationship is essential for developing effective interventions to support elderly patients and enhance their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and stress levels in elderly people with hypertension. Methods: This research design is correlational analytic using a cross-sectional approach; the instruments in this study were the Self-efficacy to Manage Hypertension-Five Item Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The sample in this study consists of 65 respondents, all of whom are elderly individuals diagnosed with hypertensionResults: 12 (18,5%) elderly experienced low self-efficacy, and 5 (7,7%) elderly had severe stress. There is a negative relationship between self-efficacy and stress in the elderly, with a p value <0.000 (<0.05), with a correlation of -.580**. Conclusion: This means that the higher the self-efficacy possessed by the elderly, the lower the stress that arises. Self-efficacy plays an important role in reducing stress in the elderly, especially those who suffer from hypertension. The elderly are recommended to increase their self-efficacy through several complementary therapies.

Abstract

Background: During early childhood, a period of rapid growth, malnutrition remained a major concern, with millions of infants worldwide affected by underweight, and stunting. Unresolved, this condition led to poor growth, weakened immunity, and delayed cognitive development. Baby-Led Weaning (BLW), a method where infants aged six months and older self-fed solid foods, offered a potential solution by encouraging food exploration, chewing skills, and appetite. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of BLW-based complementary feeding on infant weight gain.Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. An accidental sampling technique was used to select 15 infants aged 9 to 24 months. The intervention period lasted for 14 consecutive days, during which the BLW method was implemented at the participants' homes under the guidance of the researcher. Data were collected through observations of infant weight measurements and analyzed using a paired t-test. Results: The study found that the average infant weight increased from 9.53 kg before the BLW intervention to 10.05 kg afterward. A paired t-test revealed a statistically significant difference, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings indicate that complementary feeding using the BLW method effectively increased infant weight. Therefore, the BLW approach is recommended for mothers introducing complementary foods, as it may support optimal growth and development in infants.
