Abstract

This research aims to increase the professionalism of medical personnel in the field of medicine, especially poly surgery. Research methodology with descriptive qualitative literature review design. Data collection techniques by collecting information from electronic reading sources. This type of research is an analysis of medical journals with primary subjects from several hospitals in Indonesia for analysis based on inclusion criteria such as patients experiencing postoperative anxiety and insecurity, this results in weak physical health due to psychological influences. Data analysis using source triangulation. The research results describe that the medical and health sciences field has ethics and a professional attitude that needs to be realized to increase a sense of comfort and trust in the medical world. From the results of several findings, it was stated that the action decisions taken by medical science were still in agreement or had yet to be mutually agreed upon. They emphasise the element of compulsion because of the conditions requiring it. Patients do not have a voluntary attitude in agreeing to medical action. Such influence becomes a consideration that rules and agreements, the volunteers of doctors and patients must be realized with awareness and voluntarism. If two things are realized, it can increase the value of medical professionalism, especially in anaesthesia.

Abstract

Thalassemia is a condition in which hemoglobin undergoes hemolysis due to impaired synthesis of hemoglobin or globin chains. Growth failure is a common occurrence in patients with thalassemia. Iron overload due to repeated transfusions will cause disturbances in anthropometric status in children with thalassemia. Iron chelation therapy is needed to overcome iron overload in patients with beta-thalassemia major. The level of adherence affects the success of iron chelation therapy. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of adherence to iron chelation treatment and anthropometric status in patients with thalassemia beta major at Kediri District General Hospital. This type of research is observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. This research was conducted at the SMF Pediatrics (IKA) RSUD Kediri Regency on 16 subjects with B-thalassemia major using a total sampling technique that met the inclusion criteria. The research instruments used in this study were the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 questionnaire and an examination of anthropometric status. The research analysis used the Spearman correlation test. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. The results showed that there was a significant results between adherence to iron chelation consumption and height for age (p-value = 0.049 > a 0.05), significant results between adherence to iron chelation consumption with weight for age (p-value = 0.036 < a 0.05), and significant results with weight for height (p-value = 0.001 < a 0.05). This study implies that adherence to iron chelation therapy is essential for thalassemia patients. This study shows that patients more adherent to iron chelation treatment have better anthropometric status.

Abstract

Caring is an act related to respect, understanding, and responsibility. In nursing services, there are still attitudes of nurses who still need to implement caring behaviour optimally. In Indonesia, the majority of low caring behaviour is performed by nurses, as much as 56.3%. A preliminary study was conducted at a private hospital in Batam City; it was found that patients said nurses had only interacted with patients for a short time. This study aimed to explore patient experiences related to caring behaviour based on Swanson's theory in the Inpatient Room of X Hospital Batam. This research method uses qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach. Data was collected using semi-structured in-depth interviews, recorded using mobile phones for 7 participants according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the data analysis process used Creswell data analysis. The results of the study obtained three themes, namely, (1) growing confidence and trust in patients, (2) showing professionalism to patients, and (3) providing information and providing support to patients. This study concluded that the nurses had caring behaviour according to Swanson's theory, but from the participants' experiences, not all aspects of Swanson's caring process were reflected in this study. It is hoped that future researchers can explore all aspects of Swanson's caring theory or prove it was using other theories related to caring behaviour given by nurses.
