Abstract

Introduction: Self-efficacy is a key factor influencing diabetes self-management, with higher self-efficacy linked to better adherence to self-care and reduced complications. The Diabetic Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES), a 15-item Likert questionnaire, assesses self-efficacy in diet, exercise, blood glucose monitoring, therapy, and foot care. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of DMSES for use among patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 30 adults with diabetes mellitus, with 26 participants completing the questionnaire. The study was conducted in three stages: (1) translation, (2) content validation, and (3) validity and reliability testing. Forward–backward translation was applied to ensure linguistic and cultural accuracy. Content validity was assessed by a panel of five experts who rated item relevance, and the content validity index (CVI) was calculated. Item validity was examined by correlating individual item scores with total scores, while internal consistency reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha. Results: During translation, four items were modified to improve cultural and language clarity. The content validity assessment yielded a CVI of 1.00, indicating excellent agreement among experts. Item analysis demonstrated moderate to strong correlations (r = 0.550–0.867), with all correlation values exceeding the critical r table value (0.388), confirming item validity. The internal consistency reliability test produced a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.934, signifying excellent reliability across all items. Conclusion: The Indonesian version of the DMSES demonstrates strong content validity and high reliability, making it a valid and reliable instrument for measuring self-efficacy in patients with diabetes mellitus. These findings support the use of DMSES in future research and clinical practice in Indonesia to assess and strengthen diabetes self-management behaviors.

This research method is descriptive correlation with a cross-sectional study approach, with a population of 62 asthma sufferers consisting of 30 children and 32 adults. The sampling technique was total sampling, with a sample of 32 adult asthma sufferers. Bivariate analysis used a correlation test. The results of this study showed that respondents who had moderate anxiety levels were 50% and those who experienced moderate asthma relapses were 56%. The statistical test results indicate a relationship between anxiety levels and asthma relapses in adult asthmatics (p-value 0.037 <0.05). This study is expected to contribute scientific insight to healthcare professionals and serve as an additional new reference for the Koto Baru Community Health Center.

According to WHO (2018), every year it is estimated that around 20% - 50% of elderly people report poor sleep quality disorders and around 17% experience serious sleep disorders. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between sleep quality and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. This study uses a spearman rank research design with a cross-sectional study approach. With a population of 198 elderly people. The sampling technique was accidental sampling, with a sample size of 35 people. This research was analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis.Based on the results of the study, all elderly people, namely 35 people, experienced poor sleep quality and almost half, namely 17 people (48.6%) experienced mild hypertension. There was no significant correlation between sleep quality and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly in Koto Padang Village, the working area of the Koto Baru Community Health Center, Dharmasraya Regency with a p value of 0.324 which means greater than 0.05. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for community health centers and provide education to the elderly about the importance of quality sleep and ways to improve sleep quality, such as creating a healthy sleep routine, avoiding stimulants such as caffeine, and creating a comfortable sleeping environment.Keywords: Elderly, Sleep Quality, Hypertension
