Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus represents a major global health challenge requiring continuous self-care management to prevent long-term complications. Primary health care services play a crucial role in supporting patient self-management through structured education and behavioral guidance. Nurses working in community health centers (Puskesmas) function as key facilitators in empowering patients to perform independent self-care practices. Objective: To analyze the role of nurses in improving self-care behaviors among patients with diabetes mellitus within the Puskesmas service area. Methods: A quantitative descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving treatment at a Puskesmas. Participants were selected using a consecutive sampling technique based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data were collected using two validated instruments: a nurse role questionnaire assessing educational, motivational, and facilitative roles, and the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire measuring dietary management, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring, and foot care. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test to determine associations between nursing roles and patient self-care behavior. Results: Most respondents perceived nurses’ roles positively, particularly in educational and motivational domains. The overall level of patient self-care was categorized as moderate, with the highest adherence observed in dietary management practices. Lower adherence was found in physical activity and foot care domains. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between the active role of nurses and improved patient self-care behavior. Patients receiving comprehensive nursing education and motivational support were more likely to demonstrate regular blood glucose monitoring and consistent disease management practices. Conclusion: The role of nurses as educators and motivators contributes significantly to improving self-care independence among patients with diabetes mellitus at the primary health care level. Strengthening structured nursing interventions in community health services may enhance patient empowerment and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) continues to increase in Indonesia and requires long-term kidney replacement therapy, particularly hemodialysis, to sustain patients’ lives. However, hemodialysis services remain largely centralized in urban hospitals, creating significant physical, financial, and psychological burdens for patients living in peri-urban and rural areas. Limited accessibility often reduces treatment adherence and negatively affects patients’ quality of life. This article highlights the urgency of expanding equitable access to hemodialysis services at the community level through the decentralization of dialysis units and the strengthening of community-based nursing roles. Community nurses play a critical role in patient education, self-management support, and continuity of care beyond the clinical setting. In addition, integrating psychosocial support, peer groups, and family involvement is essential to address the emotional challenges faced by hemodialysis patients. Strengthening community-level hemodialysis services is therefore a strategic approach to improve treatment accessibility, patient empowerment, and overall quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Nurses, as frontline healthcare providers, play a pivotal role in shaping patients’ end-of-life experiences. In Indonesia, where Islam is the predominant religion, nurses’ perceptions of a peaceful death are closely intertwined with religious and cultural values. However, empirical evidence exploring peaceful death from the perspective of Indonesian Muslim nurses remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to explore in depth the perceptions of a peaceful death among Indonesian Muslim nurses within the context of end-of-life care. Methods: This study employed a qualitative exploratory descriptive design. Participants were Muslim nurses with experience in caring for terminally ill patients and were recruited using purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Trustworthiness was ensured through credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability strategies. Results: Four main themes emerged from the data analysis: (1) acceptance of death as a divine decree, (2) peaceful death as freedom from unnecessary suffering, (3) the central role of family and interpersonal relationships, and (4) the professional role of nurses in facilitating a dignified death. These themes illustrate that a peaceful death is perceived as an integration of spiritual, physical, emotional, relational, and professional dimensions of care. Conclusion: Indonesian Muslim nurses perceive a peaceful death as a holistic process emphasizing spiritual acceptance, patient comfort, family support, and dignified nursing care. These findings highlight the importance of culturally and spiritually sensitive palliative nursing practices.

Abstract

Background: Fracture-related pain is a common clinical problem experienced by patients following surgical procedures or traumatic injuries, which may hinder recovery and early mobilization. In addition to pharmacological treatment, non-pharmacological interventions are essential as part of holistic nursing care. One relaxation technique that can be implemented by nurses is hold finger therapy, which has the potential to reduce pain perception through relaxation mechanisms and sensory stimulation. Objective: This study aimed to describe the application of hold finger therapy and evaluate its effect on pain intensity in patients with fracture pain using a nursing case study approach. Methods: This study employed a case study design involving two patients with fracture-related conditions, including a post–Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) malunion of the right humerus and a patient with suspected nasal fracture. Hold finger therapy was administered over three consecutive days with two sessions per day. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before the intervention and after the final session. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing pre- and post-intervention pain scores. Results: The findings demonstrated a reduction in pain intensity in both patients following the implementation of hold finger therapy. Pain scores decreased from 7 to 4 in the first patient and from 5 to 2 in the second patient. Patients also reported increased comfort, relaxation, and improved ability to perform gradual mobilization. Conclusion: Hold finger therapy is effective as a non-pharmacological nursing intervention for reducing pain in patients with fracture-related conditions. This technique supports holistic nursing care by enhancing patient comfort and pain control.

Abstract

Background: Loneliness is a prevalent psychosocial problem among older adults and is associated with adverse mental health and quality of life outcomes. Social support has been identified as a potential protective factor that may reduce loneliness in later life; however, empirical evidence among community-dwelling older adults remains limited, particularly in non-institutional settings.Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between social support and loneliness among community-dwelling older adults.Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design involving older adults aged 60 years and above living in the community. Participants were recruited using a non-probability sampling approach based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using standardized questionnaires to assess perceived social support and loneliness. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize participant characteristics and key variables. Bivariate analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between social support and loneliness.Results: The findings showed that loneliness was prevalent among community-dwelling older adults, with varying levels across the study population. Perceived social support differed according to living arrangements and social participation. Higher levels of perceived social support were significantly associated with lower levels of loneliness. Emotional support demonstrated a stronger association with reduced loneliness compared to other forms of support. The relationship between social support and loneliness remained consistent across selected sociodemographic characteristics.Conclusion: Social support has a significant inverse relationship with loneliness among community-dwelling older adults. Older adults with stronger perceived social support experience lower levels of loneliness.
