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.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic health problem that commonly occurs in the elderly and is significantly influenced by daily dietary patterns. A diet high in sodium, saturated fats, and sugar can increase the risk of hypertension and exacerbate the health conditions of older adults. This study aimed to determine the correlation between dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension among the elderly. The study employed a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was selected using a total sampling technique, involving 50 elderly individuals with hypertension. The research instrument utilized was a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Data were analyzed using the Spearman’s Rank test. The majority of the elderly participants exhibited poor dietary patterns, accounting for 30 individuals (60%). Furthermore, most of the participants experienced Stage II Hypertension (n=31, 62%). The Spearman’s Rank test revealed a p-value of 0.000 with a correlation coefficient of 0.538. There is a significant correlation between dietary patterns and the incidence of hypertension among the elderly. It is recommended that healthcare professionals provide regular nutritional education and counseling to the elderly and their families to promote healthier dietary habits and prevent hypertension-related complications.

Abstract

The increasing demand for fertilizers in melon cultivation, combined with the high cost and limited availability of commercial fertilizers, presents a major challenge to sustainable agricultural production, particularly for small-scale farmers. In addition, the improper disposal of household organic waste, such as rice washing water and vegetable waste, contributes to environmental pollution. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) produced from rice washing water and vegetable waste in promoting the growth of melon plants (Cucumis melo L.) cultivated in the open field at the Muhammadiyah Agribusiness Center (MAC). An experimental design was applied using four treatments: control, rice water LOF, vegetable waste LOF, and a combination of both. Plant height and leaf number were measured twice weekly over four observation periods, and the data were analyzed descriptively using Microsoft Excel. The results showed that rice water LOF produced the highest growth performance, with plant height reaching 12.5 cm and nine leaves at the end of the study. Vegetable waste LOF also enhanced plant growth compared to the control, while the combined treatment provided no additional benefits. These findings demonstrate the potential of household organic waste as a low-cost and environmentally friendly fertilizer source. This study contributes to sustainable agriculture by providing practical evidence for waste valorization and offers societal benefits through reduced production costs, improved waste management, and support for environmentally responsible farming practices.

Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcers can profoundly affect a patient's life, resulting in a diminished quality of life and a heightened risk of mortality. To avert complications arising from diabetic foot ulcers, it is crucial to possess comprehensive knowledge. This study aims to quantify and evaluate the level of diabetic foot care knowledge among patients with diabetes mellitus. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was utilized. Sample selection was conducted using convenience sampling among patients with diabetes mellitus who met the predetermined inclusion criteria. It focused on 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had attended the Internal Medicine Clinic. Participants were selected using the Slovin formula. The study instruments included demographic data and the Foot Care Knowledge Questionnaire. The findings indicated that the majority of respondents were aged 59. Most were female (64 %) and had a high school education (60%). Most of them have self-employed jobs (27%). Marital status shows that the majority are married, 84 (84%). In terms of income, 84% earn no more than Rp. 2,000,000. The majority have lived with diabetes for less than ten years (81%) and have the most complications in the form of hypertension (45%). In particular, 86% have never received education on foot care knowledge. However, the high Foot Care Knowledge score (91%) indicates strong knowledge of foot care. Clinical nurses are recommended to integrate routine foot screenings into outpatient care, while optimizing family engagement and leveraging patients' daily rituals as sustainable preventive educational strategies against diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract

Accurate patient identification is a key component of patient safety efforts aimed at preventing medical errors and medication errors. This qualitative phenomenological study aimed to explore the experiences of practicing nurses in implementing accurate patient identification in the inpatient ward at Tzu Chi Hospital. The participants consisted of 10 practicing nurses selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observation, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that nurses had a good understanding of the importance of patient identification. Verification practices included checking wristbands, confirming names and dates of birth, scanning barcodes, and performing double-checks. However, barriers were identified, such as high workload, uncooperative pediatric patients (bracelets coming off), and familiarity bias. Patient safety practices were also supported by SBAR communication, fall prevention, and infection control. The study’s conclusion emphasizes that although nurses’ knowledge is excellent, practical compliance in the field is not yet fully consistent due to contextual barriers related to pediatric patients and workload. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen adaptive pediatric identification systems, provide periodic training (nursing sharing), conduct routine supervision, and foster a no-blame culture for incident reporting to ensure optimal and sustainable implementation of patient safety.
