Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with a high prevalence among the elderly and requires long-term management. Older adults with DM often face challenges such as cognitive decline, physical limitations, and comorbidities, which can hinder adherence to therapy, making family support a crucial factor influencing medication compliance. This study aimed to examine the relationship between family support and medication adherence among elderly patients with DM at the Kartasura Community Health Center. A quantitative method with a cross-sectional design and a simple random sampling technique was employed, involving 91 respondents selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Research instruments included a family support questionnaire and a modified Hill-Bone questionnaire, which had been tested for validity and reliability in previous studies. The results showed that most respondents were aged 60–69 years, female, junior high school graduates, self-employed, married, and had lived with DM for 1–5 years. The majority received good family support (79.1%) and demonstrated high medication adherence (96.7%), and the Spearman test indicated a significant relationship between family support and medication adherence (p = 0.001). In conclusion, family support plays a vital role in improving medication compliance among elderly patients with DM; therefore, healthcare professionals are encouraged to actively involve families in diabetes care programs, provide education for caregivers, and develop community-based interventions that strengthen family engagement to enhance adherence and health outcomes in elderly populations.

Abstract

Managing non-communicable diseases, particularly diabetes and hypertension, requires a blend of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, including enhanced physical activity. The Prolanis exercise program, created by BPJS, is a promotive-preventive initiative aimed at fostering healthy lifestyle modifications through consistent physical activity and health education. The Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta Primary Clinic has implemented this program for individuals with hypertension and diabetes; however, the participation rate requires enhancement. This study seeks to examine the determinants affecting participant engagement in Prolanis Exercise through the Health Belief Model (HBM) framework. This research is a cross-sectional qualitative research with a sample of 40 participants which was then analyzed using the linear regression method. Results show that most HBM constructsperceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and cues to actiondo not significantly influence participation. Only self-efficacy demonstrated a positive but marginally significant effect while the promotive-preventive approach showed a significant negative relationship with participation. The research results indicate that the majority of HBM constructs such as perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and cues to action do not have a significant relationship with the level of participation in the Prolanis exercise activities at the clinic. However, there are serious drawbacks to the existing promotive-preventive strategy, which highlights the need to enhance health communication approaches to be more participative, interactive, and in line with patients' needs and sociocultural context. This study highlights the importance of redesigning promotive-preventive strategies toward more participatory, context-sensitive, and empowerment-oriented health communication models, providing valuable insights for policymakers and primary healthcare providers in developing more effective community-based interventions for non-communicable disease management.

Abstract

In an era of global competition and increasing societal demands, the quality of healthcare services and patient satisfaction are important indicators of hospital quality. Nurses are the healthcare workers with the highest frequency of interaction with patients in inpatient wards, and communication is crucial. Effective and high-quality communication is key to nurses' success in carrying out their roles and functions to improve patient satisfaction. This study aims to examine the relationship between nurses’ therapeutic communication and patient satisfaction in the inpatient ward. This study employs a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample used was 67 inpatients who were selected proportionally based on the number of patients in each treatment room using a proportional random sampling technique. A questionnaire was used as the measurement tool to measure therapeutic communication and patient satisfaction. Data analysis was conducted using Fisher’s Exact Test.The study indicated a significant relationship between nurses' therapeutic communication and patient satisfaction in the inpatient ward. Therefore, hospitals are strongly recommended to provide regular training and incorporate this skill into nurse performance evaluations to systematically improve the overall quality of care and institutional reputation.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) cases are rising in Magelang City, yet current reporting lacks distribution maps, hindering identification of high-risk areas. This quantitative descriptive study, therefore, aimed to analyze DHF distribution in Magelang City (2020-2024) using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and identify dominant influencing factors. Employing a cross-sectional design, secondary data on DHF cases, rainfall, temperature, humidity, population density, and Larvae Free Rate (LFR) were collected. Data analysis involved spatial methods with QGIS and statistical methods (Geographically Weighted Regression/GWR) via RStudio. Results showed climate factors (rainfall, temperature, humidity) and population density exhibited homogeneous patterns, not significantly explaining DHF case variations. While LFR was generally high (>90%), a positive anomaly in 2023 saw high LFR followed by increased cases. The DHF distribution pattern fluctuated, peaking in 2022. In conclusion, none of the studied factors (climate, population density, LFR) were identified as significant dominant influences on DHF distribution. LFR anomalies suggest program interventions responding to high caseloads. DHF distribution is likely due to complex interactions of other unstudied factors (e.g., PSN effectiveness, behavior, sanitation, community knowledge). GIS remains valuable for data driven DHF prevention planning.

Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the major obstetric complications responsible for approximately 75% of maternal deaths globally, particularly in low-income countries. This condition not only increases maternal morbidity and mortality but also contributes to higher needs for blood transfusion, prolonged hospitalization, and greater healthcare burden. The incidence of PPH at Dr. Soebandi Regional Hospital, Jember, reached 27%, the highest among other delivery complications in the regency. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with PPH. An analytic hospital-based case-control study was conducted from January to November 2021 involving 88 mothers with PPH and 88 mothers without PPH based on medical records from 2018–2019. Antenatal factors included maternal age, anemia, birth interval, parity, and history of PPH, while intrapartum factors consisted of chorioamnionitis, labor induction, duration of labor, episiotomy, and delivery method. Data were analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression tests with a significance level of α=0.05. The results showed that maternal age >35 years (OR=4.7; 95%CI:2.35–9.82), anemia, and previous history of hemorrhage were significant risk factors. Chorioamnionitis, labor induction, and episiotomy also increased the risk, while cesarean delivery was protective (OR=0.19; 95%CI:0.08–0.45). Prevention efforts should focus on promoting pregnancy at a healthy reproductive age, improving adherence to iron supplementation, and strengthening the quality of delivery services in healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. As a consequence, the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the body decreases. This condition significantly impacts the patient's quality of life. Effective self-care can help improve the quality of life for patients with heart failure. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-care and quality of life among heart failure patients at the Cardiology Clinic of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital. This study employed quantitative, descriptive-correlational design with crosssectional approach. A total of 64 respondents were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Self Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). Data analysis was conducted using the Kendall Tau correlation test. Based on the result, the most of the respondents, 46 (71.9%) showed a moderate level of self-care, and 55 (85.9%) reported a good quality of life. The Kendall Tau test yielded a p-value of 0.002 with a correlation coefficient of 0.388, which indicated a positive and moderately strong relationship between self-care and quality of life. In conclusion, this study shows that there is a relationship between self-care and the quality of life of the heart failure patients. Good self-care improves disease control and patient adaptation, thus having a positive impact on quality of life.

Abstract

Obesity is a well-established risk factor for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DMT2), influencing disease severity and increasing the risk of complications. Regular HbA1c monitoring is a key component of effective diabetes management. Previous studies have indicated that individuals with higher Body Mass Index (BMI) tend to have elevated HbA1c levels, but this relationship has not been explored within the Surabaya population. This study aims to analyze the correlation between BMI and HbA1c levels in DMT2 patients at Dr. Soetomo Hospital in Surabaya. A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted to assess the correlation between BMI and HbA1c levels in DMT2 patients at the Endocrine Clinic of Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Data on weight, height, and HbA1c were collected and analyzed using the Spearman correlation test, with a p-value < 0.05 considered statistically significant. The study population consisted primarily of women aged over 40. Most patients were classified as obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m²), and the majority had uncontrolled HbA1c levels (>7%). A positive, linear correlation between BMI and HbA1c was found in the overall population (r = 0.228, p = 0.022) and in male patients (r = 0.29, p = 0.043). However, no significant correlation was observed in female patients (r = 0.125, p = 0.377). A significant positive correlation exists between BMI and HbA1c levels in DMT2 patients at Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Elevated BMI is associated with poorer glycemic control, particularly in male patients.

Abstract

Ensuring the microbiological safety of low-moisture foods, particularly tree nuts, remains a critical challenge in food processing. This study quantitatively investigated the kinetic behavior and persistence of prominent foodborne pathogens (Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli) within Prunus dulcis kernels subjected to typical industrial hydration (soaking) and subsequent dehydration (drying) regimes. Artificially contaminated samples were processed under controlled environmental conditions, and microbial populations were enumerated at discrete time points to elucidate growth potential and survival dynamics. Results indicated significant variability in pathogen response to moisture management interventions, with specific critical control points identified where microbial proliferation or enhanced resistance could occur. These findings provide crucial data for enhancing process validation protocols and refining risk mitigation strategies within the tree nut industry, contributing to improved public health outcomes by characterizing pathogen fate during posthar-vest processing.
