Abstract

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of the chronic complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus that can be identified through the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI). A low ABI score indicates impaired blood flow in the lower extremities. Diabetic foot exercise is a non-pharmacological intervention that can improve peripheral circulation. This study aimed to determine the difference in average ABI before and after the implementation of diabetic foot exercise in type 2 diabetes patients at the Simpang Kawat Public Health Center in Jambi City. This quantitative research used a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 35 respondents were selected through purposive sampling based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The intervention involved diabetic foot exercises performed twice weekly over a period of one week. ABI values were measured using a vascular Doppler device before and after the intervention, and data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in mean ABI scores from 0.89 to 0.94 in both lower limbs. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference (p < 0.001), and the effect size was large (d = 1.39 for the right extremity, d = 1.28 for the left), indicating the strong effectiveness of the intervention. In conclusion, diabetic foot exercise significantly improves peripheral blood circulation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and can be recommended as part of routine diabetes self-care management.

Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous pulmonary condition caused by abnormalities in the airways that result in persistent airflow obstruction. Patients with COPD often complain of shortness of breath (dyspnea), fatigue, limited physical activity, and coughing with or without sputum production. They may also experience exacerbations that require specific prevention and treatment strategies. Management of COPD symptoms can be carried out through both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be provided to COPD patients is the pursed-lips breathing (PLB) technique. This scientific paper was designed using a case report approach. The purpose of this case report is to provide an overview of the implementation of pursed lips breathing technique on respiratory frequency and oxygen saturation of patients with COPD. The subject was one patient diagnosed with COPD, admitted to the Pulmonary Inpatient Ward at Raden Mattaher Regional Hospital in Jambi. An oximeter was used as the measuring instrument to assess oxygen saturation, and a digital timer was used to measure respiratory rate over one minute. Data were analyzed descriptively by observing respiratory rate and oxygen saturation from the first day before PLB was performed until the last day of intervention. Changes in respiratory rate and oxygen saturation were observed, where on the first day, the patient’s RR was 25 breaths per minute, which decreased to 23 breaths per minute, and oxygen saturation increased from 95% to 98% after three days of therapy. Pursed-lips breathing (PLB) therapy was proven effective in increasing oxygen saturation and reducing respiratory rate in COPD patients, although the improvements were also influenced by pharmacological management, including bronchodilators and supplemental oxygen. Keywords: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Oxygen Saturation, Pursed-Lips Breathing, Respiratory Rate.

Abstract

Male breast cancer (MBC) is rare yet under-addressed in oncology nursing, especially regarding body image and masculinity. This qualitative study explored how men with breast cancer in Medan, Indonesia, make sense of altered bodies, masculinity, and care needs. We conducted in-depth interviews with 14 adult MBC patients (post-surgery or on systemic therapy) at a tertiary center and community support settings. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Three themes emerged: (1) “A scar that questions manhood” (appearance concerns, mastectomy symbolism, sexual self-esteem), (2) “Between pink ribbons and blue identities” (stigma, misgendered spaces, delayed help-seeking), and (3) “What nursing care should look like for men” (gender-sensitive education, partner involvement, symptom self-management). Participants described tension between hegemonic masculinity ideals and survivorship, affecting disclosure, adherence, and quality of life. Findings suggest integrating gender-responsive assessment of body image, tailored education (e.g., tamoxifen adverse-effects counseling), and couple-focused supportive care. Results inform practice and policy, addressing a neglected subpopulation in oncology nursing.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a global health problem whose prevalence continues to increase from year to year. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that hypertension is one of the leading causes of death from cardiovascular disease worldwide. According to WHO data, approximately 1.28 billion adults aged 30–79 years suffer from hypertension globally. One natural ingredient that has attracted attention in the treatment of hypertension is garlic (Allium sativum). Thus, this paper aims to examine the effectiveness of garlic as a blood pressure-lowering drug in patients with hypertension and its underlying mechanism of action. Methods: A comprehensive review of relevant studies was conducted, analyzing findings related to hypertension management, barriers to treatment, and the role of healthcare professionals and complementary therapies in improving patient compliance. This study used search engines and databases. Result: The analyzed research findings consistently demonstrate that garlic has significant potential in lowering blood pressure among individuals with hypertension. Conclusion: Garlic (Allium sativum Linn.) has proven to be significantly effective in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive patients in various preparations such as extracts, decoctions, and infusions, primarily through the action of allicin as a vasodilator, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory agent.

Abstract

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most burdensome symptoms during chemotherapy, yet effective predictors for its trajectory remain limited. While diet quality and food insecurity have been studied separately, the integrated concept of nutritional resilience, the ability to sustain adequate nutrition through stable food access, healthy dietary patterns, and adaptive eating behaviors has not been systematically examined. This study evaluated whether a Nutritional Resilience Index (NRI) predicts fatigue outcomes in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in Medan, Indonesia. A prospective cohort study and consecutive sampling was conducted among 200 adults with solid tumors across two tertiary hospitals. Baseline NRI was derived from three domains: food security (HFIAS), dietary quality (AHEI-2010), and adaptive food management strategies. Fatigue was assessed at baseline, post-cycle 2, and post-cycle 4 using the FACIT-F scale. Hierarchical linear regression tested the predictive value of NRI on fatigue trajectories, adjusting for demographic and clinical covariates. Participants (mean age 52.3 ± 11.6 years; 64% female) showed moderate baseline fatigue (FACIT-F 29.8 ± 8.6). Fatigue worsened significantly over chemotherapy (24.1 ± 9.4 at cycle 4, p<0.001). Regression analysis demonstrated that higher baseline NRI predicted significantly lower fatigue scores at cycle 4 (β = −0.31, p<0.001), independent of age, sex, cancer stage, and baseline fatigue. The model explained 42% of variance in fatigue outcomes (adjusted R² = 0.42). Nutritional resilience independently predicts CRF during chemotherapy. Screening and strengthening nutritional resilience may complement guideline-based fatigue management by addressing diet quality, food access, and adaptive eating behavior simultaneously.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by a persistent increase in blood pressure that requires long-term therapy and risk factor control. This study aimed to describe the blood pressure profile of patients with hypertension who had a history of using antihypertensive medication for three to five years in the working area of Puskesmas Simpang IV Sipin, Jambi City. The study employed a quantitative descriptive design with a total sampling technique involving 40 respondents. Data were collected using a respondent characteristic questionnaire, interviews, and blood pressure measurements with a digital sphygmomanometer after participants rested for five minutes. The results showed that the majority of respondents were female (72.5%), had a college education (30%), worked as housewives (60%), and had suffered from hypertension for five years (62.5%). Based on blood pressure measurements, most respondents had systolic blood pressure in the moderate hypertension category (57.5%) and mild hypertension (42.5%). Meanwhile, diastolic blood pressure was predominantly in the mild hypertension category (62.5%), followed by high-normal (20%), normal (10%), and moderate hypertension (7.5%). The findings indicate that a portion of respondents still experienced uncontrolled blood pressure despite long-term antihypertensive medication use. Contributing factors include medication adherence, high-sodium diet, stress, and lack of physical activity. Continuous education, regular monitoring, and lifestyle modification efforts are necessary to achieve optimal blood pressure control.
