Abstract

Neuropathic pain in diabetic feet can affect patients' quality of life. This has an impact on sleep quality and daily activities. Neuromuscular taping (NMT) intervention and foot exercises can be therapeutic modalities for diabetic feet. A study on the combination of the two is needed. The research aimed to determine the effect of diabetic foot exercises and neuromuscular taping on diabetic foot neuropathic pain. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a crossover design approach. The sample included 24 people recruited using the purposive sampling method. The sample was divided into two groups: the control group and the intervention group. The control group received foot exercises only, while the intervention group received a combination of foot exercises and neuromuscular taping. The washout period was carried out for one week. Neuropathic pain scores were measured using the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The study's results showed that the mean change in neuropathic pain scores in the control group with a median (min-max) value was -2.00 (-8 - 0). In the intervention group, the mean change with a median (min-max) value was - 7.50 (-10). - 0). There was a significant reduction of diabetic foot neuropathic pain in the control and intervention groups with a p-value of 0.000 (α<0.05). In conclusion, a combination of foot exercise and neuromuscular taping interventions can be an option for managing diabetic foot neuropathic pain

Abstract

The symptoms of a stroke can vary depending on which part of the brain is affected, potentially leading to severe consequences or difficulties. This scoping review aims to assess the effectiveness of the NIHSS in establishing nursing diagnoses in stroke patients. The review involved searches on Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and PubMed from 2012 to January 2023. The identification and selection of literature followed Moher's guidelines in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) 2009, resulting in ten articles for discussion. The study utilized the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) criteria to evaluate the severity of strokes by assessing neurological impairments. The analysis followed Arksey and O'Malley's model.  The study findings highlighted a significant relationship between NIHSS scores and nursing diagnoses, showing a positive trend where higher NIHSS scores were associated with increased nursing diagnoses. In conclusion, integrating the NIHSS with complementary assessment instruments is crucial in refining nursing diagnoses among stroke patients and enhancing the standard of care and patient prognosis.

Abstract

Women experience physical changes before menopause. Women experience climacteric conditions caused by decreased reproductive hormones, so they experience the climacteric period. Climacteric is 4-5 years that occurs before menopause. Women experience problems during the climacteric period, such as hot flashes, sleep disorders, mood swings, and increased osteoporosis. Physical activity with conscious body movements produced by skeletal muscles requires energy expenditure. Physical activity includes all activities, with the intensity to help climacteric symptoms. This research aimed to identify the correlation between physical activity and climacteric symptoms. This research design used an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was 72 women of premenopausal age, and it was obtained by cluster sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire. The data analysis was the Kendal Tau test. The results of this study were 44.86 ± 3.041%, and the average number of children in this study was 2.76 ± 1.157%, elementary school education level was 47.2%, unemployed was 81.9%, respondents who did not use contraception hormonal and non-hormonal as many as 86.1%, respondents who did high physical activity were 93.1%, and respondents who did not have climacteric symptoms were 97.2%. The results of the Kendal Tau test showed a value (ρ value = 0.000), so there was a relationship between physical activity and climacteric symptoms in premenopausal women. In conclusion, physical activity has a relationship with climacteric symptoms in premenopausal women

Abstract

Heart failure patients need to gain knowledge of heart failure, one of which is by providing education related to the process of heart failure, its causes and treatment, ways of self-care, how to take medicine, consumption of drinking water and salt intake in food to achieve actual health status. This study aims to determine the effect of group support with the WhatsApp chat method on heart failure patients. This type of research is quasi-experimental, with pretest and posttest control group designs, and it is conducted with a population of 50 patients with heart failure. We had 25 people in the treatment group and 25 people in the control group. Then, the normality test and data analysis were carried out using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test < 0.05. The results showed that the average respondent was female 33 (66%), farmer occupation 22 (44%), and Killip I functional status was 41 (82%), and the result was p = 0.000 at the level of knowledge of the respondents. From the results of this study, it was concluded that the support group using the WhatsApp chat method can affect knowledge. Still, WhatsApp chat is more appropriate for heart failure patients with higher activities.

Abstract

Nursing home residents are more likely to experience symptoms of depression compared to seniors living at home. Older individuals face various physical and psychological challenges, such as hearing loss, vision impairment, and memory decline, which can hinder effective communication and diminish their overall well-being. This study aims to investigate the link between the quality of communication among older people in nursing homes and their levels of depression. The study uses observational analytics with a cross-sectional approach. The sample comprises 50 older individuals living in nursing homes, selected through purposive sampling. The independent variable is communication quality, evaluated using the Quality of Communication (QOC) questionnaire, while the dependent variable is depression level, assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) questionnaire. Data analysis involves calculating the Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient at a 95% confidence level. The research findings show that 60% of the older participants exhibited moderate communication quality, while 88% experienced mild depression. The Spearman Rho statistical test resulted in a p-value of 0.009 and a correlation coefficient of -0.366, indicating a significant inverse relationship between communication quality and depression among older people. Nurses are encouraged to promote communication among nursing home residents by organizing activity groups, facilitating interactions, and creating environments conducive to social engagement. In conclusion, effective communication plays a crucial role in lowering the depression levels of nursing home residents.

Abstract

Food waste occurs when perfectly edible food is discarded for various reasons. Factors contributing to food waste include menu neglect, excess preparation, unappealing appearance, and inaccurate perceptions of taste. Reducing food waste can be achieved by valuing food as an essential aspect of human life and managing food consumption effectively. Based on a survey conducted in dormitories, the significant issue identified is the daily abundance of leftovers, including 4-6 buckets of vegetables, tempeh, and tofu, mainly due to the food needing to meet the students' tastes. This study examines the factors influencing food waste disposal behaviour among students at the STIKes Santa Elisabeth Medan dormitory in 2023. The study utilized a cross-sectional approach combined with correlational research and involved 84 students living in the dormitory. The research instruments included a Food Waste Questionnaire and a Food Scales Questionnaire. Data analysis involved using Chi-square tests to determine the relationship between independent variables of food appearance and taste factors and the dependent variable of food waste behaviour. The results revealed a significant relationship between unattractive food appearance and high food waste, with 90.4% demonstrating high waste and 9.6% showing low waste, as confirmed by a Chi-square value of 455 and a p-value of 0.05. In conclusion, this study found a notable association between unattractive food appearance and the disposal behaviour of dormitory students regarding food waste.

Abstract

High blood cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia) can cause harm to the body, including increasing the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and obesity. Preventing high cholesterol involves pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, including consuming tomato juice due to its high lycopene content. Lycopene is known for its antioxidant properties that may affect high cholesterol levels. This study was conducted to analyze the effects of supplement therapy with tomato juice on cholesterol levels in adults in the Franciscan Community of Santa Elisabeth in Medan 2023. The study used a quantitative research design with a pre-experimental method and a post-test group design approach. Purposive sampling was used to select 12 respondents who were given tomato juice for 14 days. The data was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, and the results showed a p-value of 0.534 (p<0.05), indicating that tomato juice supplementation therapy had no significant effect on reducing cholesterol levels in adults in the Franciscan Community of Santa Elisabeth population in Medan. However, four respondents reported reduced cholesterol levels due to the complementary therapy with tomato juice, while eight did not experience the same effects. In conclusion, the utilization of tomato juice as a complementary therapy did not show a significant impact on reducing adult cholesterol levels. This prompts exploring other potential strategies for addressing this health concern.

Abstract

In today's world, verbal violence is a prevalent issue, especially among adolescents. Typically, the perpetrators are the victims' peers, and this can have detrimental effects on the victims, including a decrease in emotional intelligence. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between peer verbal violence and emotional intelligence in adolescents. The study utilized a cross-sectional design and involved 120 teenage boarding school students, with a sample of 92 active adolescent students selected through simple random sampling. The research instruments included a bullying questionnaire (consisting of 12 questions) adapted from Tower and an emotional intelligence self-assessment tool (comprising 20 questions) adapted from Sterret. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank Test, which revealed a significant relationship (ρ value of 0.000) between peer verbal violence and emotional intelligence in adolescents. The study highlighted the adverse effects of peer verbal violent behaviour, such as hindering self-development, reducing empathy, and causing anxiety and shame, as well as potentially triggering similar violent behaviour by the perpetrator. As a result, it emphasizes the need for schools to take collaborative action to minimize violent verbal behaviour.

Abstract

The psychosocial challenges faced by children may not always correspond with the emotional disorders exhibited by their parents. A robust support system from their social network can significantly contribute to the enhancement of their mental well-being. This study aims to investigate the relationship between parental emotional disorders and psychosocial issues in school-aged children. The research utilizes a descriptive correlational approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 165 students aged 6 to 12 from Public Elementary School 1 Kucur who are currently enrolled in school, along with one consenting parent, resulting in 330 respondents. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire-29 (SRQ-29) is used to identify parental emotional issues, while the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) assesses children's psychosocial problems. An analysis employing Somers' D Gamma was conducted to ascertain the correlation between parental mental-emotional disorders and children's psychological well-being. The findings reveal that the highest average score for parental mental-emotional disorders stands at 82.4%. In comparison, the highest average score for total difficulties in children's psychosocial issues is 58.8%, while the highest average prosocial score is 92.7%. The statistical analysis reveals no significant connection between parental emotional disorders and children's psychosocial problems on the prosocial scale (p=0.897) and total difficulties score (p=0.897). In conclusion, the findings of this research do not establish a direct link due to the numerous factors influencing children's psychosocial challenges.
