Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that commonly occurs in the elderly and can lead to various complications affecting quality of life. Physical and psychological changes and limitations in daily activities caused by this condition often influence the ability of older adults to perform daily living activities. This study aimed to determine the relationship between Diabetes Mellitus and quality of life among the elderly. This research employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population comprised elderly individuals diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus, with purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using questionnaires to assess respondent characteristics and quality of life. Data analysis was conducted using univariate analysis to describe frequency distributions and bivariate analysis using appropriate statistical tests to examine relationships between variables. The results showed that most elderly patients with Diabetes Mellitus had a moderate to low quality of life, particularly in physical and psychological aspects. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between Diabetes Mellitus and quality of life, where poorly controlled conditions were associated with lower quality of life. It can be concluded that Diabetes Mellitus is associated with declining quality of life among the elderly. Therefore, comprehensive disease management through education, glycemic control, family support, and regular monitoring is necessary to improve the quality of life of elderly patients with Diabetes Mellitus. Future studies should examine additional factors such as socioeconomic status, treatment adherence, and glycemic control using a longitudinal design. Comprehensive Diabetes Mellitus management integrating family support can improve the quality of life of the elderly.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with an increasing prevalence and a high risk of serious complications. Efforts to prevent complications are strongly influenced by patient behavior, which is partly determined by the level of knowledge. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge level and complication prevention behavior among patients with DM at Daruba Primary Health Center. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 43 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring knowledge level and complication prevention behavior, and were analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had moderate to good knowledge and moderate levels of complication prevention behavior. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge level and complication prevention behavior among DM patients (p < 0.05), indicating that respondents with better knowledge tended to have better preventive behavior. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between knowledge level and complication prevention behavior among patients with Diabetes Mellitus. Adequate knowledge plays an important role in promoting optimal self-care behavior. Therefore, healthcare providers at primary health centers are expected to enhance structured and continuous education programs to improve patient knowledge and prevent complications. Improving knowledge is essential to promote complication prevention behavior in DM patients. Structured education is needed to improve knowledge and preventive behavior among DM patients.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health problem with high morbidity and mortality rates. The success of TB treatment is largely determined by patient adherence to anti-tuberculosis drug (OAT) therapy. One of the factors influencing adherence is the patient's level of knowledge regarding the disease and its treatment. This Study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge level and patient adherence to OAT therapy at Daruba Primary Health Center. This Study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 43 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring knowledge level and adherence to OAT therapy and were analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had moderate to good knowledge and moderate levels of adherence. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge level and adherence to OAT therapy (p < 0.05), indicating that respondents with better knowledge tended to be more adherent to treatment. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between knowledge level and adherence to OAT therapy among tuberculosis patients. Adequate knowledge plays an important role in improving patient adherence to treatment. Therefore, structured and continuous educational interventions by healthcare providers are needed to enhance patient understanding and improve TB treatment outcomes. Adequate knowledge plays an important role in improving adherence to OAT therapy among TB patients. Continuous education is needed to improve knowledge and adherence among TB patients.

Abstract

Uncontrolled hypertension increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney disorders. Warm water foot soak therapy can be used as a complementary intervention because local heat exposure has the potential to induce peripheral vasodilation and a relaxation response. This case study aims to describe changes in blood pressure before and after warm water foot soak therapy in hypertensive patients treated in the Internal Medicine Ward of Dr. Abdul Aziz Singkawang Regional Hospital. The study used a descriptive case study design with a nursing care process approach in one patient (Mrs. B) for three days. Data were collected through interviews, observations, physical examinations, documentation, and blood pressure measurements before and after the intervention. Both feet were soaked up to the ankles in water at a temperature of 38-40°C for 20 minutes, once a day for three days; the water temperature and the patient's response were monitored throughout the procedure. Blood pressure on the first day changed from 174/97 to 140/92 mmHg, on the second day from 140/90 to 130/80 mmHg, and on the third day from 179/100 to 130/92 mmHg. Mean blood pressure decreased from 164.3/95.7 mmHg to 133.3/88.0 mmHg, with a mean decrease of 31.0 mmHg in systolic and 7.7 mmHg in diastolic. The findings indicate a decrease in blood pressure immediately after therapy across all sessions, although blood pressure before therapy still fluctuated. Warm foot soak therapy can be considered as a complementary nursing intervention, not a substitute for antihypertensive medication. Its effectiveness needs to be further studied using a larger number of subjects, a control group, and standardized measurements

Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia among adolescent girls remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia. Although the government has implemented the Blood Supplement Tablet (TTD) program in schools, adherence among junior high school students remains low due to poor understanding, fear of side effects, and lack of educational support. This study aimed to analyze the association between structured health education using audiovisual media and leaflets and compliance with TTD consumption among junior high school girls. A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design was conducted. The sample consisted of 80 junior high school girls divided into an intervention group (n=40) receiving structured health education and a control group (n=40) receiving standard information. Data were collected via knowledge and attitude questionnaires, as well as TTD consumption observation sheets (pill count method) over 4 weeks. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank and Chi-Square tests. Prior to intervention, most respondents in both intervention (77.5%) and control (75.0%) groups were non-compliant. Following health education, compliance in the intervention group increased significantly to 85.0% (p = 0.000), whereas the control group showed no significant change (35.0%, p = 0.152). Post-test Chi-Square analysis confirmed a significant association between health education and TTD compliance (p = 0.000; OR = 10.52; 95% CI: 3.41–32.44). So, the structured health education effectively increases TTD consumption compliance among junior high school girls. Sustainable health education integrated into School Health Services (UKS) is highly recommended.
