Abstract

Background: Heart failure is a chronic condition that may cause activity limitations, fatigue, dyspnea, anxiety, and reduced quality of life. Disease management requires medication adherence, symptom monitoring, activity regulation, and the ability to perform self-care. Self-care education is a nursing intervention that may help patients understand and manage their health conditions. Objective: To analyze the effect of self-care education on the quality of life of patients with heart failure. Methods: This study used a quantitative quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The working research framework involved 64 patients with heart failure receiving hospital care in September 2026. Education was delivered in three sessions covering disease understanding, medication adherence, symptom monitoring, activity and rest management, dietary recommendations, and warning signs of worsening conditions. Quality of life was assessed using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). Paired statistical analysis was used. Results: Based on the working dataset, the mean quality-of-life score increased from 48.6 before education to 65.2 after education, representing a mean improvement of 16.6 points. Statistical analysis indicated a difference between pre- and post-education scores (p<0.001). Conclusion: Self-care education may improve the quality of life of patients with heart failure by strengthening their ability to manage symptoms, follow treatment recommendations, and perform daily self-care activities. Education should be continuous and tailored to individual patient needs

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional deficiency problem that affects development, cognitive, motor, and verbal abilities, and increases susceptibility to non-communicable diseases. These effects can influence productivity and become a burden on the state. The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia remains relatively high, although Indonesia has succeeded in reducing the prevalence from 37.6% in 2013 to 21.6% in 2022. One strategy for reducing stunting involves accurate community-based recording and reporting through nutrition surveillance, so that information on problems is specific and can serve as a basis for determining appropriately targeted interventions. A good Health Information System is one capable of producing accurate and timely data/information. In practice, however, at the district/city, provincial, and central levels of health management, the e-PPGBM application information system has not played a substantial role because it has not yet produced accurate and timely data/information. This results in incomplete nutritional-status information, leading to inaccuracies in identifying nutritional problems and to inappropriate policy formulation for addressing them. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the opportunities, challenges, and gaps that are important and strategic to the sustainability of the e-PPGBM system. Optimizing the use of e-PPGBM at various stakeholder levels requires active roles and involvement from all relevant parties to ensure that processed data and the information generated can be used to inform appropriate policies for the community.
