<![CDATA[Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a global health problem with a high prevalence in Indonesia and requires comprehensive management, including non-pharmacological nutritional therapy. The choice of carbohydrate sources plays an important role because white rice has a high glycemic index, while brown rice has a lower glycemic index and contains fiber and bioactive compounds that have the potential to help control blood glucose. Therefore, this study aims to determine the nutritional content of brown rice that is relevant to the management of type 2 diabetes, to analyze the effect of brown rice consumption on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, to determine the effect of a brown rice diet on other metabolic parameters such as body weight, lipid profile, and insulin sensitivity, and to summarize the scientific evidence related to the potential of brown rice as an alternative dietary intervention for patients with type 2 diabetes. This study used a literature review method with a narrative review design. The results of the study showed that brown rice has nutritional content that is relevant to the management of type 2 DM, especially fiber, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds that support improved glucose metabolism. The application of a brown rice diet contributes to improved glycemic control, as indicated by a decrease in fasting blood glucose, postprandial glucose, and HbA1c. In addition, brown rice consumption also has a positive impact on other metabolic parameters, including improved lipid profile, insulin sensitivity, and potential weight control. Overall, brown rice has the potential to be a healthier alternative source of carbohydrates and is applicable as part of non-pharmacological nutritional therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes. It can be concluded that a brown rice diet is an effective and safe non-pharmacological nutritional intervention to support the management of type 2 DM through improved glycemic control and metabolic parameters, making it a recommended alternative carbohydrate source in the patient's diet.]]>

<![CDATA[Stroke is a leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide. Medical rehabilitation plays a vital role in post-stroke recovery In Indonesia, the prevalence of stroke shows a continuing increasing case. Data from the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) recorded a stroke prevalence of 10.9 per 1,000 population. To describe the characteristics of stroke patients undergoing medical rehabilitation at Datu Sanggul Regional Hospital. This study used a retrospective descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. Secondary data were obtained from electronic medical records of stroke patients who underwent medical rehabilitation in 2024. A total of 80 patients with non-hemorrhagic stroke were included. The largest age group was 50–59 years (35%). Male patients predominated compared to females (53.75% vs 46.25%). The most common comorbidity was hypertension (65%), followed by diabetes mellitus (35%), dyslipidemia (31.25%), heart disease (25%), obesity (12.5%), chronic kidney disease (10%), and previous stroke (15%). Most patients had more than one comorbidity. The therapeutic modalities were predominantly centered on core interventions, including NMES and exercise (100%), IRR(93,7%), IF (90%) and other adjuvant therapies. Non-hemorrhagic stroke patients at Datu Sanggul Regional Hospital were predominantly in the late productive age group and had significant vascular risk factors. These findings highlight the urgent need for comprehensive medical rehabilitation services and the presence of physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists can significantly accelerate the functional recovery process in stroke patients.]]>

<![CDATA[Work stress among nurses is a critical issue that may reduce the quality of nursing care, particulary in high-intensity units such as the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Emergency Departement (ED). This Study aimed to compare nurses work stress levels in the ICU and ED and to analyze the influencing factors, including workload, social support and length of employment. This study employed a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 48 nurses, including 20 ICU nurses and 28 ED nurses, selected using total sampling. Data were collacted using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Spearman Rank Correlation and Mann-Whitney U tests with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed significant differences in work stress levels (p=0.003) and workload (p=0.004) between ICU and ED nurses. Workload had a strong positive correlation with work stress in ICU nurses (r=0.642; p=0.001) and ED nurses (r=0.711; p=0.000). Social support showed a significant negative correlation with work stress among ICU nurses (r= -0.402; p=0.045)., but not among ED nurses. Length of employment was not significantly associated with work stress in both units. Workload is the dominant factor affecting nurses work stress, particularly in the Emergency Department. Optimizing workload management and strengthening social support are essential to reduce nurses work stress.]]>

<![CDATA[Corticosteroids are a class of drugs widely used in healthcare services due to their anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and immunosuppressant effects. These drugs are often prescribed in healthcare facilities, including pharmacies. The use of corticosteroids requires a good understanding from patients for safe use. The level of patient knowledge regarding corticosteroid drugs can be influenced by various respondent characteristics, such as age, gender, and occupation. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research to determine the relationship between respondent characteristics and the level of patient knowledge regarding corticosteroid drugs in healthcare facilities. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of patient knowledge and respondent characteristics (age, gender, and occupation) in healthcare facilities in pharmacies. This study is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Sampling was carried out using an accidental sampling technique on patients who obtained corticosteroid drugs at x Pharmacy and y Pharmacy in December 2025. The number of samples in this study was 100 respondents. The research instruments were a questionnaire on the level of patient knowledge and a questionnaire on respondent characteristics. The study showed that patients' knowledge of corticosteroids ranged from good (51.57%), sufficient (32.63%), and poor (15.78%). Chi-square test results showed no significant association between age, gender, and occupation with patients' knowledge of corticosteroids (p>0.05). There was no association between respondent characteristics (age, gender, and occupation) and patients' knowledge of corticosteroids at health care facilities in pharmacies.]]>

<![CDATA[Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease characterized by progressive and not fully reversible airflow limitation. One of the main therapies for COPD is inhaled medication delivered through Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI) and Dry Powder Inhalers (DPI). The success of therapy is strongly influenced by the correctness of inhaler technique, as improper use can reduce drug deposition in the airways and affect clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of MDI and DPI inhaler use and its relationship with the FEV₁/FVC ratio in COPD patients at RS UNS. This study employed a non-experimental design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 100 COPD patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected using purposive sampling. Sociodemographic data and inhaler-use accuracy were obtained through direct interviews, while FEV₁/FVC values were collected from medical records. The data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that most respondents were over 45 years old (80%) and female (56%). The level of correct inhaler use was low in both MDI users (22.2% correct) and DPI users (13.2% correct). There was no significant relationship between sociodemographic factors and inhaler-use accuracy (p > 0.05). However, a highly significant relationship was found between inhaler-use accuracy and achievement of the FEV₁/FVC ratio (p < 0.001), in which all patients with correct inhaler technique achieved the target FEV₁/FVC. In conclusion, appropriate inhaler technique plays a crucial role in achieving optimal pulmonary function outcomes in COPD patients. Therefore, continuous education and regular evaluation of inhaler technique are essential to support the success of COPD therapy.]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension is a chronic disease with a high prevalence and remains a major public health problem that requires long-term therapy and optimal blood pressure control to prevent complications. Treatment success is influenced by various factors, including adherence to antihypertensive medication. Poor adherence may result in uncontrolled blood pressure and reduced therapeutic outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between adherence to antihypertensive medication use and therapeutic outcomes among hypertensive Patients at Sangkrah Primary Health Center, Surakarta. This study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of hypertensive patients who met the inclusion criteria. Medication adherence was measured using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), while therapeutic outcomes were assessed based on blood pressure records documented in patients' medical files. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis to describe respondent characteristics and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test to examine the association between medication adherence and therapeutic outcomes. The results showed that most respondents were classified as adherent, with 90 respondents (90.0%), while 10 respondents (10.0%) were non-adherent. Regarding therapeutic outcomes, 74 respondents (74.0%) had uncontrolled blood pressure and 26 respondents (26.0%) had controlled blood pressure. Chi-square analysis showed a Pearson Chi-Square value of 0.208 (p > 0.05), indicating no statistically significant relationship between medication adherence and therapeutic outcomes. In conclusion, adherence to antihypertensive medication was not significantly associated with blood pressure control. These findings indicate that blood pressure management is influenced not only by medication adherence but also by factors, comorbidities, and nonpharmacological interventions.]]>

<![CDATA[Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that may begin during pregnancy and is strongly influenced by maternal nutritional status, particularly adequate protein intake. Pregnant women with 4T risk factors (too young, too old, short birth spacing, and high parity) are more vulnerable to nutritional problems that can affect fetal growth. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of high-risk pregnant women in fulfilling protein intake through nutrition education and training on soy milk (PUSUI) preparation as an alternative source of plant-based protein. A quasi-experimental design without a control group was applied using a participatory educational approach. The activity was conducted in Tanjung Gunung Village, Central Bangka Regency, involving 25 pregnant women with 4T risk factors. The intervention consisted of interactive educational sessions, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations and practice in soy milk preparation. Evaluation was carried out descriptively through observation and post-test assessments to measure participants' understanding. The results showed an improvement in participants' knowledge regarding the role of protein during pregnancy and their ability to independently prepare soy milk. In addition, participants demonstrated good acceptance of soy milk as an alternative protein source. In conclusion, this community service program is effective and feasible as a supportive strategy to increase protein intake among high-risk pregnant women and contribute to stunting prevention from the prenatal period.]]>
