Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is a major risk factor for stroke, which remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of nursing care through the use of a stroke prevention module in strengthening self-care behaviors in hypertensive patients in the community. This case study was conducted in Tuliskriyo Village, Sanankulon District, Blitar Regency, involving four hypertensive patients. Data were collected through nursing assessment, physical examination, and vital sign measurement, followed by nursing interventions including pain management using Benson relaxation techniques and health education using a stroke prevention module based on self- care behavior this case management involved four hypertensive patients and describes observed clinical and behavioral changes after nursing interventions. The results showed that all patients experienced acute pain and knowledge deficits at baseline. After three days of intervention, there was a reduction in headache intensity, an improvement in vital signs, increased patient knowledge, and better adherence to antihypertensive medication and healthy lifestyle behaviors. The findings indicated that the application of a stroke prevention module effectively enhanced self-care behavior and supported improved clinical outcomes in hypertensive patients. This approach was used as an effective community-based nursing strategy to prevent stroke complications in patients with hypertension.

Abstract

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of death in Indonesia. One type of cancer that causes a large number of deaths in Indonesia is head and neck cancer. In Indonesia, the prevalence of head and neck cancer is quite high, with an incidence of 4.7 per 100,000 population. The purpose of this study is to determine the community's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding head and neck cancer. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the working area of the Community Health Center in Bali, with a cadre population spread across eight villages. Samples were taken using the Slovin formula with a total of 70 respondents, using simple random sampling. The type of analysis used was Spearman's correlation test. The results obtained showed that the majority of respondents were female, 54.3%, with the highest level of education being a bachelor's degree, 51.4%. The highest level of knowledge was good, 48.6%, and the majority of respondents stated that knowledge about head and neck cancer was very important, 88.6%. Bivariate analysis using Spearman's correlation test to examine the relationship between the three components of knowledge, attitude, and behavior showed a significant relationship between behavior and knowledge (p<0.05). It can therefore be concluded that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and behavior and values (p<0.05).

Abstract

Lack of family support in patients with hypertension is often influenced by family perceptions and limited knowledge regarding hypertension management. This condition may lead to inadequate attention to patients and poor adherence to treatment and preventive measures. In contrast, family attention, empathy, and involvement in patient care can positively influence patient behavior and improve psychological well-being. This study aimed to identify the level of family support among patients with hypertension before and after the implementation of family support education. This research employed a descriptive case study design involving two research subjects. Data were collected using a family support questionnaire covering emotional, informational, instrumental, and appraisal support. The findings showed that before the educational intervention, subject 1 had not met family support in all four aspects, with informational support being the lowest due to limited access to health information. Meanwhile, subject 2 showed the lowest score in instrumental support due to economic limitations. After the implementation of family support education, both subjects demonstrated improvements and fulfilled all four aspects of family support. It is recommended that families maintain these four aspects of support to enhance patient care, and future researchers are encouraged to conduct separate assessments between family members and patients to obtain more comprehensive results.

Abstract

Achieving the "Three Zeros" target (zero new infections, zero related deaths, and zero discrimination) for the HIV/AIDS program in Blitar City remains a challenge. Specifically, the target of 95% of People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) knowing their status has not yet been achieved. This research aims to describe the indicators of the "Temukan” strategy as part of the STOP (Suluh-Temukan-Obati-Pertahankan / Educate-Seek-Treat-Retain) acceleration program. A qualitative design was employed, and data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews with 12 informants, including PLWHA, community cadres, health workers, and policymakers. Data were analyzed using OpenCode software, which identified five primary indicators categorized into: inputs for "Temukan" or seek activities in “STOP” strategy, processes (including workflow, cross-sectoral coordination, and implementation), and outputs (including increased coverage, improved quality of life for PLWHA, and program sustainability). These findings serve as an evaluation tool and a basis for policymaking in HIV/AIDS prevention.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive decline in kidney function that leads to the accumulation of metabolic waste products and excess body fluids, causing most patients to require long-term hemodialysis therapy. Hemodialysis may trigger significant hemodynamic changes, including intradialytic hypertension and tachycardia, which can cause serious cardiovascular complications. Objective: This study aimed to analyze changes in blood pressure and pulse rate before and after hemodialysis in patients with CKD at Bhayangkara Tulungagung Hospital. Methods: This study used an observational design with a before-after approach involving 30 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using structured observation sheets 15 minutes before and after each hemodialysis session. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Before hemodialysis, most respondents were categorized as prehypertensive (50%) with normal pulse rates (76.7%). After hemodialysis, the proportion of hypertension increased from 16.7% to 63.3%, and tachycardia increased from 16.7% to 63.3%. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed statistically significant changes in blood pressure and pulse rate before and after hemodialysis (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Hemodialysis was associated with significant hemodynamic changes in patients with CKD, characterized by increased proportions of hypertension and tachycardia. These findings emphasize the importance of systematic hemodynamic monitoring protocols by nurses during hemodialysis sessions to enable the early detection of cardiovascular complications and improve patient safety. Future researchers are encouraged to analyze the factors contributing to hemodynamic changes in patients with CKD

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea remains a health problem in Indonesia. Despite various prevention programs, the prevalence of diarrhea in children in Indonesia remains relatively high. Objective: This study aimed to analyze factors associated with recent diarrhea among children under five years of age in Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design based on secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Public Health Survey (PJS). A total of 13,756 weighted mother-child pairs were included in the analysis. Sampling weights were applied prior to statistical analysis to account for the complex survey design. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with recent diarrhea. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported. Results: The prevalence of recent diarrhea in children under five years of age was 14.9%. Maternal age, maternal education, husband/partner's education level, province, household wealth index, and child gender were significantly associated with diarrhea incidence. Children from poor households were more likely to experience diarrhea compared to children from wealthier households. Boys were more likely to experience diarrhea than girls (AOR=1.19; 95% CI=1.08–1.31). Regional differences were also observed, particularly among children living outside Java–Bali. Conclusion: Strengthening maternal education, improving household socioeconomic conditions, and reducing regional differences are crucial to support childhood diarrhea prevention programs in Indonesia.
