Abstract

According to Yogyakarta Province Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in the Indonesian Disaster Data and Information, ranking 1st among various disaster indices in the Yogyakarta Province. Health workers in all hospital units are important to prepare for earthquake disaster preparedness, one of which is health workers working in the operating room (OR). There has been no evaluation of preparedness in the operating room in the previous study, and as a form of preparedness evaluation in facing future earthquake disasters. The purpose of this study is to determine the preparedness of health workers to face the risk of earthquake disasters in the operating room (OR). The method employed a mixed-methods approach with a phased mixed approach, namely quantitative and qualitative in the research variables. The samples in this study consisted of all health workers in the PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta General Hospital, totaling 20 people. The results of the study showed varying results on each indicator of healthcare workers' disaster preparedness in the operating room. There are several themes from the results of this study including: the concept of earthquakes, problems and solutions in operating rooms facing mass casualties, and earthquake preparedness in the operating room. This study describes knowledge about the daily habits of activities in the Central Surgical Installation (Operating Room) and illustrates the importance of a better understanding of regular phenomena so that it can be used as a basis for accurate estimates of how a hospital's operation room will face major disaster events and provide the required services.

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.
