Abstract

Background: Gastritis is an inflammatory disease of the gastric mucosa with a high prevalence worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Risk factors include Helicobacter pylori infection, diet, stress, and drug use. Pharmacological therapy remains the primary treatment strategy, but drug-related problems may arise. Therefore, evaluating the effectiveness of pharmacological therapy is essential.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of gastritis patients and the effectiveness of pharmacological therapies in reducing pain among inpatients at RSUD Haji Makassar.Methods: A retrospective quantitative descriptive study was conducted using medical records of 76 gastritis patients aged 17–30 years, hospitalized from July to December 2024. Patient characteristics and pharmacological therapy distribution were analyzed. The effectiveness of therapy was assessed by comparing pain scale scores before and after three days of treatment using the Wilcoxon test.Results: Most patients were female (80.3%) and aged 18–24 years (77.6%). The most prescribed drug was Omeprazole (44.7%), followed by Ranitidine (35.5%) and Sucralfate (19.7%). All therapies significantly reduced pain (p < 0.05). Mean pain scores decreased from 4.29 to 0.68 with Omeprazole, from 4.30 to 1.11 with Ranitidine, and from 3.80 to 1.20 with Sucralfate. However, no significant difference was found between treatment groups.Conclusion: Gastritis was more prevalent among young females. Omeprazole was the most frequently used drug, and all three therapies effectively reduced pain after three days. Continuous monitoring is recommended to optimize therapy outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Nurses working in inpatient wards are required to deliver continuous and comprehensive nursing care. This condition often results in a high workload, which is frequently associated with an increased risk of burnout. Burnout among nurses can negatively affect their well-being, job performance, and the quality of patient care, making it an important occupational health issue in hospital settings.Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between workload and burnout among nurses working in the Malaqbi 2 and Malaqbi 3 inpatient wards at the Provincial General Hospital of West Sulawesi.Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 46 nurses selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of a workload measurement instrument and a burnout instrument adapted from the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Data analysis included univariate analysis to describe respondent characteristics and variable distributions, and bivariate analysis using the Spearman correlation test to examine the relationship between workload and burnout.Results: The findings revealed that the majority of nurses experienced a heavy workload, while most respondents reported mild levels of burnout. Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between workload and burnout (p = 0.200), although a weak positive correlation was identified between the two variables.Conclusion: The study indicates that nurse burnout is not solely influenced by workload but is also affected by other factors, including individual characteristics, work environment, and organizational support. Hospital management is therefore encouraged to implement comprehensive strategies focusing on workload management, psychological support, and improvement of the work environment to prevent burnout and enhance nurses’ well-being and quality of care.

Background: Professional nursing students are exposed to demanding academic and clinical responsibilities that may increase stress levels and negatively impact mental health, academic achievement, and clinical performance. Identifying stress-related factors is crucial to support students throughout their professional education.Objective: This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with stress levels among professional nursing students at the Institute of Health Sciences Pelamonia Makassar.Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytical approach with a cross-sectional design conducted from August to September 2025. The study population included 112 professional nursing students selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measuring stress associated with patient care, clinical instructors and nursing staff, academic tasks and workload, peers and daily life, lack of knowledge and skills, and the clinical practice environment. Stress levels were classified as mild, moderate, and severe. The Chi-square test was used for data analysis.Results: The results demonstrated that stress related to clinical instructors and nursing staff, academic tasks and workload, peers and daily life, lack of knowledge and skills, and the clinical practice environment were significantly associated with students’ stress levels (p < 0.05). However, stress related to patient care showed no significant association with stress levels (p > 0.05).Conclusion: Academic, social, and environmental factors predominantly influence stress levels among professional nursing students. Therefore, strengthening academic support, improving clinical supervision, and fostering a supportive clinical learning environment are recommended to help reduce student stress.
