Abstract

Background: End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) represents an increasing health burden in Indonesia, with affected individuals experiencing complex needs that substantially diminish quality of life. Objective: aimed to identify palliative care needs among end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a hemodialysis center in North Sulawesi in 2024. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling. The Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Supportive and Palliative Care Indicators Tool (SPICT) were employed to collect sociodemographic data and identify potential palliative care needs. Univariate analysis was performed to examine palliative care needs among ESKD patients. Results: A total of 150 participants were included. Almost all respondents were identified as needing palliative care, with the majority presenting two general indicators and two clinical indicators. Conclusion: Nearly all patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing haemodialysis are identified as having palliative care needs. This finding suggests the need to integrate routine palliative care assessment and services into patients with end- stage kidney disease, especially those in haemodialysis care to ensure comprehensive and patient-centered management of physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs.

Abstract

Abstrak: Background: Type 1 Diabetes requires complex lifelong care, increasing parental stress. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this burden through disrupted healthcare, limited social support, and financial strain, particularly in Indonesia, where evidence on influencing factors remains limited. Methods: Cross-sectional research with consecutive sampling was conducted in the Family Association of Diabetes Sufferers in Children and Adolescents Indonesia. This study involved 136 parents who met the inclusion criteria. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to identify the relationship between parental characteristics and situational factors on parenting stress. A standard questionnaire and a self-administered questionnaire were used in this research. Results: The analysis demonstrated significant relationships between several variables and parenting stress. Specifically, economic status (p=0.006), marital status (p=0.031), healthcare system challenges during COVID-19 pandemic (p=0.000), social support (p=0.003), and coping mechanisms for children’s illness (p=0.047) were significantly associated with the frequency of parenting stress. Additionally, there were significant relationships between economic status (p=0.000), health care system challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic (p=0.001), and social support (p=0.015) with parenting stress based on parental difficulties. Conclusions: This study identified that parents’ coping mechanisms for managing their child’s illness and the availability of social support are critical factors influencing parenting stress. Notably, higher levels of social support were associated with lower parenting stress. These findings underscore the importance of integrating social support networks and targeted nursing interventions to alleviate parental stress and improve caregiving outcomes. Keywords: Parenting stress, Type 1 diabetes, COVID-19 pandemic, Cross-sectional study.

Abstract

Background: Patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy experience complex physical and psychological problems that require comprehensive nursing care. Nurses’ caring behaviors are important in improving the quality of care provided to patients. However, existing instruments for measuring caring behaviors remain limited, particularly those grounded in Swanson’s Theory of Caring. Therefore, this study aimed to develop conceptual domains and generate items to measure nurses’ caring behaviors toward patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. Objective: To develop a new conceptual framework in the form of domains and produce statement items through a qualitative approach. Methods: This study used a phenomenological approach as the first phase of an instrument development study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 participants receiving chemotherapy, selected through purposive sampling. The interviews were recorded and transcribed digitally, and the data were analyzed using content analysis in NVivo 10 to identify codes, categories, and themes to develop conceptual domains and item statements. Results: A total of 33 statement items were developed from five main domains. The first domain was respect for culture (5 items); the second, information provision (6 items); the third, responsiveness (7 items); the fourth, competence (9 items); and the fifth, overall motivation (6 items). Conclusion: This study generated five domains, comprising 33 positive and negative statement items, that will be used in the questionnaire to measure cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy's perceptions of nurses' behavior.

Abstract

Background: Nurses’ happiness is a critical determinant of job satisfaction and quality of care. Adverse working conditions, shift schedules, and heavy workloads can diminish nurses’ happiness. Objective: Identifying the level of happiness and its primary contributing factors among clinical nurses is therefore essential. Methods: This study utilized a descriptive quantitative approach with the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. Seventy-three clinical nurses from five inpatient wards at Hasanuddin University Hospital in Makassar were selected through purposive sampling. Results: Most respondents reported a very high level of happiness (87.7%), while 12.3% reported a high level. The most significant contributing aspect was the perception that "life is rewarding" (97.3%), followed by "happy memories" (94.5%) and being "pleased with life" (93.2%). Factors associated with higher happiness included the absence of additional employment, effective time management, higher education level, marital status, and higher income. Conclusion: Clinical nurses in inpatient wards at Hasanuddin University Hospital predominantly experience very high levels of happiness, with the perception of a meaningful life emerging as the most influential factor. Both individual and organizational factors contribute to these outcomes. Hospitals should sustain and strengthen supportive work environments by managing workloads, facilitating career development, and providing psychological support programs. Future research should incorporate additional variables, such as burnout and social support, and employ more comprehensive research designs.

Abstract

Abstract: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with a continuously increasing prevalence both globally and nationally. Patients with DM who undergo insulin therapy often face various challenges—physical, psychological, and social—that may affect their quality of life. This study aims to describe the quality of life of patients with DM who use insulin.This study employed a descriptive qualitative design with a total of 108 respondents. The respondents’ characteristics included age, educational level, duration of illness, and gender. Quality of life was measured based on physical, psychological, and social dimensions.The results showed that the majority of respondents were aged 19–59 years (76.9%), had a senior high school education (39.8%), had been diagnosed with DM for less than one year (56.5%), and were female (74.1%). Most respondents had a moderate quality of life (97.2%), while only 2.8% had a good quality of life.These findings indicate that although insulin therapy is the primary treatment in DM management, patients’ quality of life remains suboptimal. Factors such as productive age, early stage of the disease, and female predominance contribute to this condition. In addition, psychological aspects such as diabetes-related distress and social limitations also influence patients’ quality of life. In conclusion, the quality of life of patients with DM using insulin is influenced by the interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors. Therefore, comprehensive and holistic nursing interventions are required, including self-management education, psychological support, and strengthening family support to improve patients’ quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Lack of knowledge about diseases, suboptimal quality of services, low awareness of risk factors, and low compliance with prevention measures are problems that arise in efforts to control Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in various developing countries worldwide, including Indonesia. Perceptions that are not in accordance with health science can worsen the risk factors for non-communicable diseases, which are currently a major public health problem Objective: to identify which values and cultures should be preserved, negotiated, and even changed. Methods:study is descriptive-analytical, with a cross-sectional design, to analyze community cultural values as a means of controlling non-communicable diseases. This study was conducted in Wologai village, with 79 respondents. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 software with Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient . Results: Community perceptions and behaviors were significantly associated with efforts to control non-communicable disease risk factors (p-value <0.05), whereas traditional medicine, stigma and health, and community ritual and spiritual practices were not (p-value >0.05). Conclusion: Public perception and behavior contribute to NCD risk factor control but are not the primary determinants. Therefore, attention is needed to consider other factors that may also influence the success of NCD risk factor control in the community.

Abstract

Background: Although homecare is increasingly recognized as an extension of hospital services, limited evidence exists on the operational pathway from identifying potential patients to the actual utilization of homecare following discharge. Objective: to audit the promotion and utilization funnel of Universitas Airlangga Hospital homecare services among discharged patients from July 2025 to March 2026. Methods: This retrospective descriptive operational audit examined aggregate secondary data from daily homecare operational reports at Universitas Airlangga Hospital between July 2025 and March 2026. The daily report served as the unit of analysis rather than individual patients. Variables included the number of potential homecare patients, documented offer status, willingness responses, realized visits, service-unit origin, and service-category mentions. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequencies, percentages, and utilization ratios Result: Over 181 reporting days, 1,007 potential homecare patients and 235 realized homecare visits were identified, corresponding to 23.3 visits per 100 potential patients. In 2025, documented offer status was available for 121 of 656 potential patients (18.4%), of whom 97 (80.2%) had been offered homecare services. Among those offered, 2 (2.1%) were willing to order the service, 94 (96.9%) were still considering, and 1 (1.0%) declined at initial contact. Offer-response variables were not available in the 2026 reporting format. Physiotherapy or medical rehabilitation accounted for the largest proportion of service-category mentions (60.6%), followed by physician or specialist visits (16.5%). Conclusion: Homecare services at Universitas Airlangga Hospital exhibited substantial post-discharge demand; however, incomplete documentation limited the ability to observe the utilization funnel. Implementing a standardized homecare dashboard integrated with discharge planning could enhance monitoring, follow-up, and evaluation of homecare service utilization.
