Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) significantly affects not only physical health but also the psychological well-being of patients. Self-esteem is a critical aspect of psychological health that influences treatment adherence and recovery. However, limited research has explored the determinants of self-esteem among TB patients in resource-limited settings like Subang, Indonesia. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the factors influencing self-esteem in pulmonary TB patients, focusing on stigma, social support, and economic burden. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 150 pulmonary TB patients from Subang, Indonesia. Data were collected using validated instruments to measure self-esteem, stigma, social support, and economic burden. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including correlation and regression, were conducted to identify significant predictors of self-esteem. Results: The mean self-esteem score among participants was 15.4, indicating moderate self-esteem. Stigma was the strongest negative predictor of self-esteem (β = -0.62, p < 0.001), followed by economic burden (β = -0.43, p < 0.001). Social support showed a positive association with self-esteem (β = 0.54, p < 0.001). Demographic variables such as age, employment status, and marital status also influenced self-esteem but to a lesser extent. Conclusion: Self-esteem in TB patients is significantly influenced by stigma, social support, and economic burden. Addressing these factors through integrated care models that reduce stigma, provide financial assistance, and enhance social networks can improve psychological outcomes and treatment adherence among TB patients.

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis must adhere to fluid restrictions to prevent complications such as hypertension, heart failure, and pulmonary edema. However, maintaining adherence is challenging due to physiological, psychological, and social factors. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate compliance with fluid restrictions among hemodialysis patients, identify factors influencing adherence, and propose strategies to improve compliance at RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving a cross-sectional survey of 100 hemodialysis patients and in-depth interviews with 16 participants. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were thematically analyzed. Measures to minimize biases, such as ensuring confidentiality and cross-checking data, were implemented. Results: Quantitative findings revealed that participants had a moderate knowledge score (mean: 7.8/10) and an adherence rate of 75.3%, with a mean interdialytic weight gain of 2.5 kg. Significant correlations were found between knowledge and adherence (r = 0.58, p < 0.001) and adherence and weight gain (r = -0.65, p < 0.001). Qualitative analysis identified themes such as psychological challenges, social influences, coping strategies, and the importance of education. Participants highlighted thirst, cultural expectations, and limited understanding as barriers to adherence, while family support and education emerged as facilitators. Conclusion: Enhancing patient education, addressing psychological and social challenges, and promoting innovative coping strategies are essential to improving adherence to fluid restrictions. Tailored interventions and multidisciplinary approaches can optimize fluid management and patient outcomes in hemodialysis care

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a significant global health concern, often linked with poor sleep quality, both of which contribute to increased cardiovascular risks. Dietary interventions rich in potassium, magnesium, and tryptophan have shown potential in improving blood pressure and sleep quality. However, the specific effects of nighttime banana consumption on these outcomes remain underexplored. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of consuming bananas at night on blood pressure levels and sleep quality among hypertensive patients in the Health Community Kuantan, Malaysia. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 120 hypertensive patients aged 30–65 years. Participants were randomized into two groups: the intervention group consumed one medium-sized banana (approximately 120 grams) one hour before bedtime daily for eight weeks, while the control group followed their usual diet. Blood pressure was measured weekly using an automated sphygmomanometer, and sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Statistical analyses, including paired t-tests and repeated-measures ANOVA, were performed to evaluate within- and between-group differences. Results: The intervention group demonstrated significant reductions in systolic (mean: 10.3 mmHg, p < 0.001) and diastolic (mean: 6.3 mmHg, p < 0.001) blood pressure compared to the control group. PSQI scores also improved significantly in the intervention group, with a mean reduction of 3.1 points (p < 0.001) from baseline, indicating enhanced sleep quality. The control group showed minimal changes in both parameters. Conclusion: Nighttime banana consumption is an effective, natural, and affordable intervention for improving blood pressure and sleep quality in hypertensive patients. These findings highlight the potential of whole-food dietary strategies as complementary therapies for managing hypertension and its associated conditions.

Abstract

Background: Happiness is an important indicator of successful aging among older adults. However, many older adults experience decreased well-being due to loneliness, declining health, and reduced social interaction. Social support from family, peers, and the community plays a crucial role in maintaining psychological well-being and happiness in later life. In primary healthcare settings such as Puskesmas Walenrang, South Sulawesi, understanding the influence of social support is essential to improve elderly care services. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between social support and happiness among older adults at Puskesmas Walenrang, South Sulawesi. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 80 older adults aged ≥60 years selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using validated questionnaires measuring perceived social support and happiness levels. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Sperman correlation to determine the relationship and influence between social support and happiness. Results: The findings showed a significant positive relationship between social support and happiness among older adults (r = 0.62; p = 0.001). Participants who received higher levels of emotional, instrumental, and informational support reported higher happiness levels and better psychological well-being. Older adults with strong family and community support also experienced lower levels of loneliness and emotional distress. Social support was identified as a significant predictor of happiness. Conclusion: Social support plays a vital role in enhancing happiness among older adults. Strengthening family involvement and community-based support programs through primary healthcare services is essential to improve the quality of life of older adults. These findings highlight the importance of nursing interventions focused on family engagement, psychosocial support, and community participation to promote healthy and successful aging among older adults.

Abstract

Background: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is an invasive procedure that often causes spasm, pain, and anxiety in patients, which can affect comfort and the smoothness of the procedure. Non-pharmacological interventions such as warm compresses and handgrip exercise have the potential to improve perfusion and reduce discomfort during the procedure. Purpose: To determine the effect of a combination of a 40°C warm compress and handgrip exercise on reducing spasm, pain, and anxiety, as well as improving perfusion index in patients undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a control group. A total of 30 respondents were divided into two groups: 15 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group. The intervention group received a combination of a 40°C warm compress and handgrip exercise, while the control group received standard care. Data were collected using spasm observation sheets, a perfusion index measurement tool, pain scales, and anxiety questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney tests. Results: The findings showed that the combination of warm compress and handgrip exercise significantly reduced spasm, pain, and anxiety (p= 0.001< 0.05), and significantly increased the perfusion index (p= 0.000 < 0.05) compared to the control group. Patients in the intervention group demonstrated better physiological and psychological responses during the procedure Conclusion: The combination of a 40°C warm compress and handgrip exercise is an effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce spasm, pain, and anxiety, while improving perfusion in patients undergoing PCI. This intervention can be recommended as a supportive nursing strategy to enhance patient comfort and procedural outcomes.
