Abstract

Background: The global infant mortality rate remains a significant concern, with a rate of 28.2 per 1,000 live births recorded in 2019. In Indonesia, the infant mortality rate reached 24 per 1,000 live births in 2022, and efforts to reduce this include immunization, as the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that around 1.5 million children die annually from preventable diseases, including a rising 15% mortality rate due to diphtheria in Indonesia in 2020. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge and timeliness of basic immunization in infants aged 0-12 months. Methods: This study employs a quantitative research method with a correlational descriptive design and a cross-sectional approach, using purposive sampling to select a sample of 86 respondents. Data was collected through maternal knowledge questionnaires and observation sheets from mother and child notebooks, and the analysis was conducted using the Spearman test. Results: The study found that the majority of mothers, 40 respondents (46.5%), had good knowledge about basic immunization, followed by 30 respondents (34.9%) with adequate knowledge, and 16 respondents (18.6%) with insufficient knowledge. At Puskesmas Rawalele, almost all basic immunizations for infants aged 0-12 months were administered on time (76.7%), and there was a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and the timeliness of basic immunization, with a p-value of < 0.001. Conclusion: Maternal knowledge about basic immunization plays a crucial role in ensuring the timely administration of vaccines to infants. Consequently, public health initiatives focusing on increasing awareness and education about immunization among mothers could be instrumental in achieving higher compliance and better health outcomes for infants.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus requires effective self-management to prevent complications and maintain a healthy quality of life. Self-efficacy, or a patient’s belief in their ability to manage their condition, is recognized as a key factor influencing diabetes self-management. However, the strength and nature of this relationship remain understudied in the local context of patients receiving care at Subang General Hospital. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy in blood sugar management and self-management in type 2 diabetes patients at Subang General Hospital. Methods: A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. Consecutive sampling was used to recruit 40 respondents. Data were collected using two standardized tools: the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES) and the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ). The relationship between self-efficacy and self-management was analyzed using the Spearman-Rho statistical test. Results: Among the respondents, 80% (n=32) demonstrated high levels of self-efficacy, while 67.5% (n=27) exhibited good self-management practices. The statistical analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and self-management (p=0.003). Conclusion: The findings indicate a significant relationship between self-efficacy and self-management in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. These results underscore the importance of enhancing self-efficacy as part of diabetes education and management strategies to improve patient outcomes. Future research should explore interventions that specifically target improving self-efficacy to optimize self-management behaviors.

Abstract

Background: Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) frequently experience nocturnal dyspnea, leading to poor sleep quality, which can slow down recovery and prolong hospital stays. The semi-Fowler sleep position may alleviate breathing difficulties and improve sleep quality in CHF patients. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of semi-Fowler sleep position education on the sleep quality of CHF patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group was used, involving 26 CHF patients selected through accidental sampling from the inpatient ward of Subang General Hospital. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the intervention involved educational booklets and demonstrations on the semi-Fowler sleep position. Results: Data analysis using the Mann-Whitney test showed a significant improvement in sleep quality post-intervention, with a p-value of 0.000, indicating a meaningful difference in sleep quality between the intervention and control groups. Conclusion: Educating CHF patients on the semi-Fowler sleep position significantly improved their sleep quality. These findings suggest that incorporating semi-Fowler position education into patient care may help reduce nocturnal discomfort and promote better recovery in CHF patients. This approach could be a practical intervention for improving patient outcomes and reducing hospital stays.

Abstract

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Effective patient education regarding CHD and its risk factors is essential for prevention and management. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a module-based educational intervention on improving patient knowledge of CHD risk factors. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test and post-test control group design. A total of 34 participants were selected via quota sampling, with 17 assigned to the intervention group and 17 to the control group. Participants' knowledge levels were measured using the Heart Disease Facts Questionnaire (HDFQ) before and after receiving education on CHD risk factors through a structured booklet and Counselling Events Units (SAP). Results: Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney test revealed a significant increase in the knowledge levels of the intervention group compared to the control group (p = 0.001), indicating the effectiveness of the module-based education. Conclusion: Module-based education on CHD risk factors significantly improves patient knowledge. This approach can be an effective educational tool in clinical settings for enhancing patient understanding and reducing CHD risk.

Abstract

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) can lead to declines in both physical and psychological functioning, affecting self-care behavior and quality of life. Understanding the relationship between these two factors is critical for improving patient outcomes. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between self-care behavior and quality of life in patients with CHD at the Heart Clinic of Kendari General Hospital. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted with 61 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The study used self-care behavior questionnaires (SCCHDI) and quality of life assessments (SF-26). Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test to determine the relationship between self-care behavior and quality of life. Results: The Spearman correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between self-care behavior and quality of life in CHD patients, with a p-value of 0.001. This suggests that improved self-care behaviors are associated with better quality of life outcomes. Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of promoting self-care behavior in patients with coronary heart disease to enhance their quality of life. Healthcare providers, especially nurses, should take an active role in providing education and motivation to encourage effective self-care practices, ultimately improving patient well-being.

Abstract

Background: Gout arthritis, commonly referred to as gout, is a chronic non-communicable disease characterized by joint inflammation caused by elevated uric acid levels. This condition can persist for years or even a lifetime, leading to recurrent pain. One non-pharmacological treatment for managing gout pain is the application of warm water compresses, which may help alleviate discomfort by improving blood circulation and reducing inflammation. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of warm water compresses in reducing gout-related pain in elderly patients. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a control group and a pretest-posttest approach. A total of 32 elderly respondents suffering from gout pain at Takalar Community Health Center Makassar, were selected through purposive sampling. Pain levels were measured before and after the intervention using standardized pain scales. An independent t-test was conducted to analyze the differences between the experimental and control groups. Results: The independent t-test revealed a statistically significant effect of warm water compresses on reducing gout pain, with a p-value of 0.00 (p < 0.05). This indicates that warm water compresses effectively alleviate gout-related pain in the elderly. Conclusion: Warm water compresses significantly reduce gout pain in elderly patients at Takalar Community Health Center, Makassar. These findings suggest that warm water compresses can be a simple, non-invasive, and effective treatment option for managing gout pain in older adults.

Abstract

Background: Self-efficacy, or an individual's belief in their own abilities, plays a crucial role in determining how they respond to different circumstances. In patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis, self-efficacy can significantly impact treatment adherence, which is essential for positive health outcomes. However, the relationship between self-efficacy and adherence in this population remains underexplored. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and adherence to hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease at Wakatobi Regional Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with a purposive sample of 57 respondents. Data were collected using validated self-efficacy and adherence questionnaires. The Spearman rank correlation test was employed to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and adherence. Results: The findings revealed that 63.2% of respondents exhibited high self-efficacy, and 91.2% were categorized as adherent to their hemodialysis treatment. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and adherence (p=0.000), indicating that patients with higher self-efficacy tend to adhere more consistently to their treatment regimen. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between self-efficacy and adherence to hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease at Wakatobi Regional Hospital. These findings suggest that enhancing self-efficacy may improve adherence in this patient population. Future research should explore this relationship in other settings and with different study designs to confirm and expand on these results.
