Abstract

Mental illness necessitates long-term care, impacting both sufferers and their families due to societal stigma. This study examined the correlation between personal character and self-acceptance, stigma, and self-acceptance, and the sociodemographic factors influencing acceptance. The study used a quantitative descriptive design to analyze data from 130 individuals who were purposefully selected from a total population of 175 families with members experiencing mental disorders. The research instruments included standard questionnaires to measure personal character, extraversion, perceived stigmatization, stigma, and family adaptation acceptance. Results indicated that personal character and stigma were significantly associated with acceptance (p-value <0.05). At the same time, the distance to the health center was the most influential demographic factor (p-value <0.005, Chi-Square 170.071). In conclusion, strengthening the personal character of families is crucial to mitigate the negative impact of societal stigma. Furthermore, enhancing services provided through health centers is essential.

Abstract

A Caesarean Section is a surgical procedure where an incision is made on the anterior wall of the uterus to facilitate the delivery of the baby. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Benson relaxation technique, supplemented by the practice of Sholawat Tibbil Qulub, in alleviating pain among mothers following a Caesarean section in the postpartum ward of RSUD Dr. MM Dunda Limboto in Gorontalo Regency. This research employs a quantitative design, utilizing a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test methodology. The sample comprised 15 respondents, all mothers in the post-Caesarean section period. The findings indicate that applying the Benson relaxation technique in conjunction with prayer significantly reduces pain levels, as demonstrated by the T-Test, which yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p-value < 0.05). This result suggests that a considerable number of mothers reported a reduction in their pain levels, albeit not complete relief. In conclusion, comparing pain levels prior to and after the implementation of the Benson relaxation technique reveals a notable decrease in pain among the respondents. It is recommended that mothers recovering from a Caesarean section consider utilizing Benson therapy alongside prayer to help mitigate their discomfort.

Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension highlights the need for patients to manage their blood pressure independently, which is linked to health literacy. However, the relationship between self-care management and health literacy requires empirical validation. This study investigates the correlation between health literacy and self-care management among hypertensive patients at public health facilities. The study used a cross-sectional design involving 81 hypertensive patients aged 18 and older, sampled from a health centre in Bandung Regency, Indonesia. Health literacy was assessed using a hypertension health literacy scale, and self-care management was evaluated with a 40-item questionnaire. Kendall's Tau b was used for inferential analysis to examine the relationship between health literacy and self-care management. The findings indicated a significant correlation between health literacy and self-care management (t = 0.342; p < 0.05), showing that individuals with higher health literacy manage their hypertension more effectively and achieve better blood pressure control. These results pertain only to a specific population, suggesting further research on health literacy and self-care management among hypertensive patients in various health facilities

Abstract

Self-harm behaviour is prevalent among adolescents, particularly during early adolescence, a period characterized by significant pressures and demands. This study examines self-compassion as a potential coping mechanism to mitigate self-harm in early adolescents, specifically within the agricultural region of Jember Regency. The research employed a correlational design within a cross-sectional framework comprising 376 junior high school students. The participants were assessed for self-compassion utilizing the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and for self-harm behaviour through the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI). The findings indicate that 67.6% of participants exhibited moderate levels of self-compassion, while 84.8% reported low instances of self-harm behaviour. A statistically significant relationship was identified (p = 0.001), revealing a low negative correlation (r = -0.200), which suggests that higher levels of self-compassion are associated with reduced self-harm. In conclusion, the results underscore the importance of promoting self-compassion programs within schools and among healthcare professionals as a means to address self-harm in adolescents.

Abstract

Age and nutritional status are crucial in wound healing after a caesarean section. This study explores the relationship between these two factors and the duration of wound healing post-surgery at the Islamic University Hospital of Malang. Using a cross-sectional research design, the investigation will include all patients who had caesarean sections between March and May 2024, totalling around 31 respondents. The sampling technique employed for this study was total sampling. The Spearman Rank test was used to assess the data for statistical analysis. Findings show that 71% of respondents are in a non-risk age group, and 64.5% have good nutritional status. Conversely, 64.5% experienced poorly healing wounds. The Spearman Rank test produced a p-value of 0.005, indicating a significant relationship between age and wound healing duration, and a p-value of 0.000 showed a significant association between nutritional status and healing length. Correlation coefficients of 0.489 and 0.607 indicate moderate positive correlations. In conclusion, the study establishes relationships between age, nutritional status, and wound healing duration post-caesarean section, suggesting that future research should investigate other influencing factors like medical history and surgical complications.

Abstract

Hypertension is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Patients who struggle to manage their blood pressure risk severe complications such as stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease. A critical factor in their inability to control blood pressure is a lack of self-awareness about their condition. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of educational videos about hypertension on the self-awareness of patients diagnosed with this condition. This research employed a pre-experimental one-group pre-post-test design, with a total study population of 48 individuals with hypertension. Utilizing a purposive sampling method, the sample for this investigation consisted of 43 participants. The primary instrument for data collection was a self-awareness questionnaire, and the Wilcoxon test was utilized for data analysis. The findings revealed that 27 participants (63%) exhibited a low level of self-awareness prior to the implementation of the educational videos. By lowering the intervention, the number of participants achieving a high level of self-awareness similarly increased to 27 (63%). The results show a significant effect of the hypertension educational videos on the patients' self-awareness, with a p-value of 0.001. The educational videos incorporated images, symbols, and animations, accompanied by audio elements, facilitating effective communication of information about hypertension. In conclusion, educational videos assist individuals in comprehending and applying the knowledge presented, ultimately enhancing their awareness of the importance of hypertension management.

Abstract

Elderly individuals frequently experience declines in biological, psychological, social, and spiritual functioning, particularly those residing in orphanages who encounter considerable psychological challenges such as depression. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between spirituality and depression levels within the elderly population at Graha Residen Senior Karya Kasih, Kota Medan. This research employed a correlational design utilizing a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with participants selected based on the criteria of being 60 or older and possessing practical communication abilities. A total of 41 respondents participated in the study. The instruments employed included the Daily Spirituality Experience Scale (DSES) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). The study found that 40 participants (97.6%) reported positive spiritual experiences, while nearly half (20 individuals or 48.8%) showed symptoms of depression. Statistical analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between spirituality and depression in older adults, with a Spearman rank p-value of 0.007 and a correlation coefficient of -0.415. In conclusion, higher spirituality is linked to lower depression levels, although depressive symptoms can still be present. The researcher recommends enhancing spirituality and suggests reminiscence therapy as a possible intervention for depression in older adults.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus results in both microvascular and macrovascular complications due to inadequately managed glucose levels over an extended period. A notable complication is peripheral neuropathy, which arises from compromised peripheral circulation. Implementing Buerger Allen Exercises and Foot Exercises can enhance circulation and mitigate these complications, with effectiveness assessed using the ankle-brachial index. This study aims to evaluate the differential efficacy of Buerger Allen Exercises compared to Foot Exercises in improving peripheral perfusion among patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus affiliated with the Patrang Community Health Center. The research employs a quasi-experimental design featuring a pretest-posttest two-group format. The study sample consists of 30 respondents diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The intervention, which included both Buerger Allen Exercises and Foot Exercises, was conducted once and lasted 20 minutes. The results indicate that the Buerger Allen Exercise group exhibited an average ankle-brachial index value of 0.992, while the Foot Exercise group yielded an average value of 0.900. The obtained p-value (0.004) was less than or equal to the alpha level of 0.005. Therefore, a statistically significant difference exists between the Buerger Allen Exercise intervention group and the Foot Exercise group. In conclusion, the Buerger Allen Exercise intervention is more effective than the Foot Exercise regimen in enhancing peripheral perfusion, as evidenced by the measured ankle-brachial index values.

Abstract

Natural disasters significantly increase the vulnerability of individuals with disabilities, resulting in a two to four times higher risk of death or injury compared to the general population. Research indicates they often have fewer resources, lower disaster preparedness, and are less likely to maintain household disaster kits, create evacuation plans, or participate in emergency drills. This scoping review aims to synthesize the essential needs of individuals with disabilities when confronted with natural disasters. The authors employed four databases—Wiley, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and Science Direct—to source relevant articles on the needs of individuals with disabilities in disaster scenarios. Following a quality appraisal per the PRISMA guidelines, twelve articles published between 2019 and 2024, accessible in full text and written in English, were selected from the various databases. The findings reveal that individuals with physical disabilities present diverse functional limitations that lead to distinct needs based on the type and level of disability. Among the primary necessities identified for individuals with disabilities in preparing for disasters are establishing social networks, access to pertinent information, 24-hour care services, providing evacuation equipment and tools, and education, training, and disaster response manuals. Addressing these needs is crucial for minimizing the adverse effects of natural disasters and facilitating a positive response and effective recovery for individuals with disabilities.
