Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a degenerative disease commonly experienced by the elderly and is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels above normal limits. Hyperglycemia can cause various complaints, one of which is sleep disturbances. Poor sleep quality in the elderly can worsen blood glucose control and reduce quality of life. This study aims to determine the relationship between random blood sugar levels and sleep quality in elderly with diabetes mellitus at Health center of Purwosari District. Method: This study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The population was all elderly people with diabetes mellitus at the Elderly Health at Purwosari Health Care Center, with a sample size of 33 respondents selected using accidental sampling. Random blood sugar levels were measured using a glucometer, while sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rho correlation test. Result : The result of the study showed that most respondents had random blood sugar levels above the normal limit (>199 mg/dl) and poor sleep quality. The p-value was 0.000, meaning the significance value was <0.05. Meanwhile, the Correlation Coefficient value was 0.685. This means there is a positive relationship with a strong relationship. Conclucion:  High random blood sugar levels can cause various complaints such as frequent urination at night, thirst, tingling, and pain, which impact the quality of sleep in the elderly. In order to enhance the quality of life of the elderly, healthcare facilities must establish educational programs that underscore the significance of glycaemic control and sleep quality as interrelated factors.   Keyword : Random Blood Glucose, Sleep Quality, Elderly, Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Background: Pleural effusion involves abnormal fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity, stemming from increased production or reduced lymphatic absorption. This buildup compresses the lungs, impairing expansion and causing symptoms like dyspnea, chest pain, and cough. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as the tripod position and pursed-lip breathing, enhance lung ventilation, oxygenation, and ease breathing effort. Objective: This case report evaluates their application in nursing care for Mrs. S, a patient with pleural effusion, to boost oxygen saturation. Methods: A descriptive case study design targeted one patient diagnosed with pleural effusion. Data were gathered via medical-surgical nursing assessments, including interviews, observations, and physical exams. Findings informed a tailored nursing care plan. Interventions comprised tripod positioning where the patient leans forward with arms supported on a surface to optimize the use of diaphragmatic breathing along with pursed-lip breathing, involving inhalation through the nose and prolonged exhalation through pursed lips to reduce air trapping and improve gas exchange. These were implemented daily for three consecutive days, with ongoing monitoring and evaluation of vital signs, particularly SpO2. Result: Pre-intervention, Mrs. S exhibited SpO2 of 84%, marked dyspnea, and ineffective airway clearance. Post-intervention, SpO2 rose to 96%, with notable relief in shortness of breath and enhanced respiratory comfort. No adverse effects occurred, confirming intervention tolerability. Conclusion: The use of the tripod position and pursed lip breathing technique has been shown to improve oxygen saturation in Mrs. S with a nursing diagnosis of impaired gas exchange.   Keywords:  Pleural Efussion, Tripod Position, Pursed Lip Breathing

Abstract

  Background: The implementation of standard precautions is essential in preventing infection transmission in hospitals. Nurses, as healthcare workers who have direct contact with patients, are at high risk of exposure to blood and body fluids; therefore, their perceptions play an important role in infection prevention practices. The Health Belief Model (HBM) can be used to explain health-related behaviors based on perceived threats, benefits, and barriers. This study aimed to describe nurses’ perceptions of standard precautions at Hospital X based on the Health Belief Model. Methods: A descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach was used, involving 317 nurses selected through total sampling. Data were collected using the Indonesian version of the Basic Principles of Standard Precautions questionnaire, which measures perceived threat, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers. Results: The results showed that most nurses had good perceptions, including perceived threat (71.3%), perceived benefits (66.6%), and perceived barriers (64.0%). Most respondents had experienced occupational exposure to blood or body fluids (70.3%) and needle stick injuries (39.7%). The highest incidence of exposure to blood or body fluids was found in the surgical ward (IBS), with 21 respondents (9.4%), and similarly, the highest incidence of needle stick injuries or injuries from infectious sharp objects was also found in the surgical ward, with 21 respondents (16.7%). Conclusion: Nurses’ perceptions of standard precautions were generally good; however, some nurses still had poor perceptions, particularly regarding barriers. These findings highlight the need to strengthen training and improve occupational safety culture to support consistent implementation of standard precautions.   Keywords: health belief model; infection prevention; nurse perception; occupational exposure; standard precautions

Abstract

Cesarean section is increasingly common worldwide and is associated not only with physical recovery challenges but also with psychological problems such as anxiety, stress, and depression in postpartum mothers. Social support is considered an important protective factor that may improve maternal mental health after childbirth. This study aimed to examine the relationship between social support and mental health status among post-cesarean mothers at Bhayangkara Hospital, Jambi City. This research employed a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach involving 96 respondents selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using modified MSPSS and MHC-SF instruments. Validity and reliability tests confirmed that the instruments were appropriate for use. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using Kendall’s Tau-b test. The results showed that most respondents had high social support (61.5%) and high mental health status (60.4%). Statistical analysis revealed a positive and significant relationship between social support and mental health (τ = 0.384; p < 0.001). In conclusion, social support plays a significant role in improving mental health among post-cesarean mothers, although it is not the sole determinant. Strengthening support systems from family and healthcare providers is essential to enhance maternal psychological well-being.

Abstract

Background :Non-pharmacological, psychospiritual interventions for breast cancer patients remain underexplored in the Indonesian context, particularly interventions that structurally combine dhikr (remembrance of God) and tadabbur (reflective contemplation) of Qur’anic verses. Objective : This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness therapy in improving the quality of life of breast cancer patients at Raden Mattaher Regional Hospital, Jambi City. Methods : The study used a quantitative quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design, involving 36 respondents (18 in the intervention group, 18 in the control group) selected through purposive sampling. Quality of life, assessed through its spiritual well-being dimension, was measured using the FACIT-Sp-12 questionnaire before and after two weeks of therapy. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Results : Results showed that the mean quality-of-life score in the intervention group increased from 35.41 (SD 6.413) to 44.65 (SD 2.178) (p<0.001), while the control group increased from 32.56 (SD 3.258) to 39.33 (SD 2.223) (p<0.001). However, the Mann-Whitney test on the difference in scores between groups showed no significant difference (p=0.140). Conclusion : It was concluded that mindfulness therapy has the potential to improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients, although it has not yet been statistically proven superior to standard care. Further research with a larger sample and a longer intervention duration is recommended to strengthen the evidence of its effectiveness.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease requiring lifelong self-management to achieve optimal glycemic control, prevent complications, and improve quality of life. Effective self-management is considered a cornerstone of diabetes care; however, patients' adherence to self-care behaviors remains inconsistent. Therefore, investigating the relationship between self-management and quality of life is essential for improving patient-centered diabetes care. Methods: A quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 50 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus selected using purposive sampling. Self-management was assessed using the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire, while quality of life was measured using the Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. Results : Most participants demonstrated a moderate level of self-management (56.0%) and a moderate quality of life (60.0%). Spearman's rank correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between self-management and quality of life (Spearman's rho = 0.575; p < 0.001). The moderate positive correlation indicates that patients with better self-management behaviors tend to report a better quality of life. Conclusion:  Self-management is significantly associated with quality of life among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Strengthening diabetes self-management education, continuous nursing support, and family involvement may improve patients' self-management abilities and contribute to better quality of life.

Abstract

Background : Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem that requires active community participation, including the role of health cadres in providing education on pulmonary TB care. However, the ability of cadres to deliver effective education may vary. Health coaching based on the Health Promotion Model (HPM) can strengthen cadres’ knowledge, skills, and confidence in delivering health education. Objective : This study aimed to assess the effect of HPM-based health coaching activities on cadres’ ability to deliver education on pulmonary TB care at the Aur Duri Public Health Centre in Jambi City. Methods : This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental control design. The total number of respondents in the study was 60 health cadres selected by purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The intervention consisted of HPM-based health coaching activities focused on pulmonary TB care education across five sessions, each lasting 45-60 minutes. Health cadres’ abilities were assessed before and after the intervention using a validated Educational Cadres Skills Questionnaire (ECSQ). Data were analysed using a paired-samples t-test. Results : The ANCOVA results showed a significant effect of the intervention on posttest scores after controlling for pretest scores (adjusted mean: 60.96 vs. 48.54), F(1,57) = 37.76, p < .001, partial η² = .398. Conclusion : This approach significantly improved cadres’ ability and can be recommended as an educational intervention to support community-based TB prevention and care programs.

Abstract

Background: Parents of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants may experience psychological and socioeconomic challenges related to the care of their infants, including difficulties in accessing healthcare services and meeting unexpected care-related expenses. This study aimed to analyze the association between socioeconomic factors, healthcare accessibility, and depression levels among parents of VLBW infants at RSUD Ciawi, Bogor, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 55 parents of VLBW infants. Data were collected on healthcare accessibility, including travel distance, travel time, and perceived accessibility, as well as socioeconomic characteristics, including parental education, employment status, income, ability to meet unexpected expenses, and household economic stability. Depression levels were assessed and categorized into normal and significant depression levels. The associations between study variables and depression levels were analyzed using the chi-square test.. Results: Among 55 respondents, 8 (14.5%) had a normal depression level, while 47 (85.5%) had a significant depression level. No statistically significant associations were found between depression levels and travel distance to the hospital (p=0.50), travel time (p=0.96), perceived healthcare accessibility (p=0.17), parental education (p=0.34), employment status (p=0.31), income (p=0.15), or household economic stability (p=0.63). However, the ability to meet unexpected expenses, including transportation and special milk costs, was significantly associated with depression levels (p=0.04). Conclusion: Most parents of VLBW infants in this study experienced significant depression levels. Although most socioeconomic and healthcare accessibility variables were not significantly associated with depression, the ability to meet unexpected expenses was significantly associated with depression levels. Financial and psychosocial support may be important components of care for families of VLBW infants.
