Abstract

Background: Self-medication is an act of self-medication without medical consultation, the practice of self-medication in the people of West Nusa Tenggara reaches 66.62% and the community in Bima City is indicated to be 60.44%. This practice risks causing serious side effects and drug resistance. Purpose: To explore why the practice of hard drug self-medication is high in the community of Bima City. Method: Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with an emphasis on exploratory research. Conducted in Bima City starting in August 2024, it involved a total sampling method, selecting 10 participants who served as key informants from the National Agency of Drug and Food Control. Data collection was carried out through triangulation, integrating multiple sources, methods, and theories to enhance result validity. In-depth interviews were used as the primary data collection technique, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis to extract key insights and interpret the underlying meaning of the findings. Results: Self-medication practices, such as buying antibiotics without a prescription, risk causing drug resistance and side effects. Monitoring drug distribution, especially online purchases, is a challenge for the Health Office and National Agency of Drug and Food Control. People choose practical and cost-effective ways, while pharmacists face pressure in selling drugs without a prescription. Collaboration and education are needed to ensure safe and rational drug use. Conclusion: The high cost of medicine and queues at health facilities encourage self-medication, exacerbated by poor Social Security Administration services. 24-hour pharmacies and online purchasing make it easier to access drugs without a prescription, with weak distribution oversight. Lack of accurate information and distrust of formal health services increase the risk of side effects and drug abuse.

Abstract

Background: Coughing is a natural defense mechanism that helps clear the respiratory tract of irritants and pathogens. In addition to being a necessary physiological reflex, coughing can also be caused by diseases that attack the respiratory tract, such as tuberculosis, asthma, pneumonia, acute respiratory infections, and other respiratory diseases. Transmission of the disease occurs when an infected person releases these droplets, which can be inhaled by others. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of flip chart-based health education in improving children's knowledge about coughing and sneezing etiquette. Method: Pre-experimental quantitative research design with a one-group pretest-posttest design approach. The sample was selected through total sampling involving Al-Huda Elementary School, Jember. This research was conducted in October-December 2024. The independent variable in this study is the use of flip charts, while the dependent variable is knowledge of cough etiquette. The instrument used was a questionnaire on knowledge of coughing and sneezing etiquette consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions. Results:  The average age of the participants was 8.4 years with a standard deviation of 1.0 in the age range of 7-10 years. The number of male and female participants had the same percentage of 12 participants (50%). The average pre-test score was 55.8 with a standard deviation of 25.7, while the post-test score increased to 75.0. Statistical calculations revealed a z value of -3.7 and a significance level (2-tailed) of less than 0.001. This indicates a significant increase in knowledge of cough etiquette pre-post test. Conclusion: Flip chart media is an effective educational tool to improve children's knowledge about coughing and sneezing etiquette. By providing structured, interesting, and visually appealing content, flip charts improve learning outcomes and contribute to the implementation of better health behaviors.

Abstract

Background: An intervertebral disc's nucleus pulposus or annulus fibrosus may protrude in part or in its entirety in a condition known as herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP). This can put pressure on the spinal canal or nerve roots through the annulus fibrosus's tear. Over 90% of HNP instances take place in the disc between the L4-L5 lumbar vertebrae or the L5-S1 sacral vertebrae, which is the disc between the fourth and fifth lumbar (L4-L5) vertebrae, which means that pressure is exerted on the L4, L5 and S1 nerves, causing local low back pain and radicular pain in the lower limbs, especially in the back of the lower leg and in the back of the foot. Purpose: To determine the effect of core stability exercise on reducing pain and increasing functional ability in LBP EC HNP patients. Method: A quantitative research method in the form of Quasy Experimental with a Two Group Pretest-Posttest design, namely a control group and a group of 20 respondents who experienced LBP EC HNP. The research instrument uses the ODI questionnaire and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The data obtained were then analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann Whitney test. Results: There is a difference in the influence of ODI and Motion Pain between group 1 control and group 2 treatment (p <0.05). While in the pressure pain value (p > 0.05) then the decision was taken to fail to reject H0 which means there is no difference in the influence of pressure pain between group 1 control and group 2 treatment. Conclusion: There is an effect of Core Stability Exercise on reducing pain and increasing the ability of functional activities of daily living in patients with Lumbar Hernia Nucleus Pulposus.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus, a chronic disease resulting from an impaired endocrine system, disrupts glucose regulation and leads to elevated blood glucose levels. Individuals with diabetes may develop complications such as hyperglycemia. Persistent hyperglycemia can negatively affect mental well-being, potentially causing depression, anxiety, and diabetes distress. While numerous studies have explored predictors of diabetes distress, their findings have been inconsistent, and a comprehensive understanding of the contributing risk factors remains elusive. Purpose: To identify the dominant factors influencing the occurrence of diabetes distress. Method: This quantitative descriptive study involved a sample of 150 respondents. Participants were included if they had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus, were male or female, and were over 20 years of age, regardless of whether they had diabetes-related complications. Patients with unstable hemodynamic status or those unable to communicate effectively were excluded. The study took place at the Surakarta Islamic Hospital between July and September 2024. Data collection utilized demographic questionnaires, the Diabetes Distress Scale, the Hensarling Diabetes Family Support Scale, and the Medication Adherence Rating Scale. Pearson's test and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis. Results: The study found that the majority of respondents had a mean age of 56 years and were male. The analysis revealed four factors influencing diabetes distress in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus including treatment regimen (p-value = 0.001, B = -10.792), education level (p-value = 0.042, B = -3.779), age (p-value = 0.015, B = -0.404), and family support (p-value = 0.034, B = -0.333). Conclusion: The treatment regimen emerged as the most significant factor influencing diabetes distress; consistent adherence to the prescribed treatment plan was associated with lower levels of distress among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, education level, age, and family support were identified as additional factors contributing to diabetes distress.

Abstract

Background: Hospitals provide public access to medical care and healthcare services related to health recovery. The Ministry of Health has set a length of stay (LOS) quality standard for Cileungsi Regional Hospital at 6 hours, aiming to deliver fast and timely services to patients from their arrival at the Emergency Department (ED) until their admission to the inpatient ward. Purpose: To determine the factors associated with the length of stay in the Emergency Department. Method: A quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional method through observations conducted at Cileungsi Regional Hospital in June 2024. Sampling was carried out using random selection based on Slovin's formula, following pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 70 respondents. The independent variables in this study include severity level, nurse response time, and bed availability, while the dependent variable is the length of stay of patients. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 46-55 years (39 respondents, 55.7%). Female respondents accounted for 52 individuals (74.3%). Most respondents had completed high school (48 respondents, 68.6%). The majority of patients had a long length of stay (52 respondents, 74.3%). Statistical tests showed that the p-values for the variables triage, response time, inpatient bed availability, patient arrival time during shifts (morning, afternoon, evening), patient arrival volume, and ancillary examination duration were all < 0.05, indicating a significant relationship with length of stay in the ED. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between triage, response time, inpatient bed availability, patient arrival time during shifts (morning, afternoon, evening), patient arrival volume, and ancillary examination duration with the length of stay in the ED (p < 0.05).

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance or decreased insulin secretion. Herbal complementary therapies are increasingly in demand as an alternative to managing blood sugar levels. However, studies of its effectiveness as a single therapy in the elderly have not been widely researched. Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of moringa leaf tea as an antihyperglycemic alternative in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: A case report study conducted on one participant to evaluate the effect of moringa leaf tea on fasting blood sugar levels in elderly people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). This approach was chosen to document individual responses to herbal interventions in actual clinical conditions and provide an in-depth picture of changes in blood sugar levels after intervention. The patient in this study was a 61-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with type 2 DM for one year and was not taking antihyperglycemic drugs. The participant had a history of non-compliance with pharmacological therapy due to previously felt side effects. Results: Before the intervention, the patient reported experiencing typical symptoms of hyperglycemia, such as frequent thirst, increased urination frequency especially at night, and fatigue that interfered with daily activities. Blood sugar levels were measured before the intervention, and were found to be 256 mg/dL, indicating hyperglycemia. After consuming moringa leaf tea 3 times a day for three consecutive days, blood sugar levels decreased and on the 3rd day it was 220 mg/dL. In addition, the patient also reported improvements in clinical symptoms, such as reduced thirst, increased urination frequency especially at night, and increased energy. Conclusion: Consumption of Moringa leaf tea can lower blood sugar levels in elderly people with type 2 diabetes mellitus without antidiabetic drugs. In addition, improvements in clinical symptoms such as reduced thirst, urination frequency, and increased energy were also observed. Suggestion: Further studies are needed with larger samples and longer intervention periods to evaluate its long-term efficacy and safety. In addition, this study can explore more deeply the molecular mechanisms associated with the antihyperglycemic effects of Moringa leaves and its potential in natural therapy-based diabetes management strategies.
