Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder requiring continuous medical care and patient self-management to prevent complications. Perception of disease and the Duration of suffering may influence how patients manage their condition through self-care behaviors. Understanding this relationship is crucial for developing targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes. This study examines the relationship between disease perception and Duration of illness with self-care management in patients with Diabetes Mellitus. Research Methodology: This quantitative analytical study employed a cross-sectional design involving 150 patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus at a public health centre. Data were collected using validated questionnaires assessing disease perception and self-care management, along with patient medical records to determine the Duration of the disease. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression tests to examine the relationship between disease perception, Duration of suffering, and self-care management. Result: The study found a significant positive correlation between disease perception and self-care management (r = 0.62, p < 0.01). Additionally, patients with a longer duration of suffering demonstrated better self-care practices (r = 0.45, p < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis revealed that disease perception was a stronger predictor of self-care management than Duration of illness (β = 0.58, p < 0.01). Conclusion: A higher perception of the seriousness and controllability of diabetes mellitus positively influences patients' self-care management. Duration of illness also contributes, though to a lesser extent. Health practitioners should enhance patients’ understanding and perception of their disease to improve self-care outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Community health is an important foundation in improving the quality of life of the community as a whole. Family caregivers are the vanguard in promoting health, preventing disease, and empowering families to be agents of change. A holistic approach focusing on physical, emotional, social, and environmental aspects has optimised community health outcomes. This study aims to analyze a wide range of literature on family nursing interventions with a holistic approach to improving community health. Methods: This study uses a systematic literature review method. The studied articles were obtained from electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL, with a publication range between 2015 and 2025. The keywords include family nursing, community health, holistic approach, and nursing intervention. Selection was made based on inclusion criteria: empirical research articles, a focus on the role of family caregivers, and the application of a holistic approach. A total of 35 selected articles were analyzed using a narrative synthesis approach to identify key themes. Results: The study shows that a holistic approach in family nursing practice consistently contributes to improved healthy living behaviours, family-based management of chronic diseases, and increased access to primary health services. Key success factors include strengthening therapeutic relationships between nurses and families, using empathy-based communication, and actively involving families in the health decision-making process. Conclusions: This literature review reinforces the evidence that optimizing the role of family caregivers through a holistic approach can improve community health effectively and sustainably. To support the sustainability of these practices, there is a need for specialized training for family nurses and the integration of family-based strategies in community health policies.

Abstract

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) during the first six months of life plays a crucial role in infant survival, growth, and development. However, the global rates of EBF remain below the recommended targets. Pregnant women's classes are designed to provide education, support, and skills necessary for successful breastfeeding practices. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of pregnant women's classes on the success rate of exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group was employed. The study involved 120 pregnant women in their third trimester, selected through purposive sampling from two community health centers. The intervention group (n=60) participated in a structured pregnant women's class, while the control group (n=60) received standard antenatal care without additional courses. Data on breastfeeding practices were collected three months postpartum using structured interviews and analyzed using the Chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: The study found a significantly higher rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the intervention group (78.3%) compared to the control group (53.3%) (p<0.01). Attendance in the pregnant women's class was associated with a 2.9 times higher likelihood of practicing exclusive breastfeeding (OR=2.9; 95% CI: 1.5–5.6). Key factors contributing to success included increased maternal knowledge, self-efficacy, and support from health educators during antenatal. Conclusions: Participation in pregnant women's classes effectively increases the success rate of exclusive breastfeeding. Integrating structured breastfeeding education into routine antenatal care is recommended to improve maternal practices and promote better infant health outcomes

Abstract

Introduction: Mefenamic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. This medication is used for mild to moderate pain, including headaches, toothaches, postoperative and postpartum pain, dysmenorrhea, and osteoarthritis. This study aims to provide an overview of public knowledge about mefenamic acid pain relievers. Method: This study uses quantitative descriptive research, which conducts direct research on respondents (the community) who are taken as research subjects. This study describes the level of public knowledge about mefenamic acid anti-pain. Results: The most users of mefenamic acid are women, which is 49 people (62.12%), with the most vulnerable age, namely 17-25 years old, as many as 26 people (35.62%), with the most work, which is not working as many as 37 people (50.68%), with the last education of each respondent in high school, which is 35 people (47.95%). Patient knowledge about the use of mefenamic acid reached 75.02%, which was obtained from the processing of data from community research on mefenamic acid, including quite good knowledge. Conclusion: Mefenamic acid is more commonly found in women, especially in young age groups. Most users are unemployed and have a high school-level education background. The level of public knowledge about the use of mefenamic acid is quite good, but further educational efforts are still needed to increase a more comprehensive understanding of the use of the drug. It is recommended that regular counseling be carried out on the appropriate and rational use of drugs, especially for young age groups and people who do not have a background in health education.

Abstract

Introduction: The construction sector remains one of the most hazardous industries worldwide, with significantly higher rates of fatal and major injuries. In Indonesia, construction accidents contribute to a considerable proportion of national occupational incidents. This study evaluates the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) programs in a rural water supply infrastructure project. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted involving 54 construction workers selected through total sampling. The study assessed Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) availability, PPE usage, and OHS training participation. Data were collected through structured interviews and direct observation. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The study found significant associations between OHS program implementation and PPE availability (p = 0.003), PPE usage (p = 0.001), and OHS training (p = 0.008). Workers with complete PPE availability and proper usage and those who had received safety training demonstrated a higher adherence to OHS protocols. Conclusion: The successful implementation of OHS programs in construction sites, particularly in rural water infrastructure projects, relies heavily on the availability and use of PPE and structured safety training. Strengthening these components can lead to a safer work environment and significantly reduce workplace accidents.

Abstract

Introduction: Antacids are commonly used over-the-counter medications for treating gastritis, yet public knowledge regarding their proper use remains limited. The DAGUSIBU (Obtain, Use, Store, Dispose) campaign by the Indonesian Pharmacists Association aims to improve rational drug use among the community. However, initial observation at Thalhah Pharmacy in Makassar revealed a lack of counseling related to DAGUSIBU principles. This study aims to assess the level of public knowledge regarding the DAGUSIBU principles related to antacid use at Thalhah Pharmacy. Method: This was a descriptive study using a survey method. A total of 48 respondents were selected from 90 pharmacy visitors through accidental sampling using the Slovin formula. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Microsoft Excel, with results presented in percentage tables and categorized into three levels: good, fair, and poor. Results: Findings show that 73.25% of respondents had good knowledge, 20.82% had fair knowledge, and 5.91% had poor knowledge of DAGUSIBU principles. Knowledge of obtaining antacids was good (77.8%), while use (59%), storage (58%), and disposal (43.7%) scored moderately. Conclusion: The public demonstrates adequate knowledge in obtaining antacids, but further education is needed in the areas of usage, storage, and disposal to support safe and responsible self-medication practices.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a significant public health issue, particularly in pre-elderly populations, and can lead to various chronic diseases if not properly managed. This study aims to investigate the effect of family history on the incidence of hypertension in the pre-elderly population. Method: A quantitative research design with a case-control approach was employed, involving 42 respondents (21 cases and 21 controls). Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with the Chi-square test. Results: The findings revealed a significant association between family history and the occurrence of hypertension in the pre-elderly, with a p-value of 0.000. Conversely, no significant relationship was found between physical activity and hypertension incidence (p-value = 0.634). Conclusion: The study concludes that family history is a significant risk factor for hypertension in the pre-elderly. At the same time, physical activity does not appear to influence the condition in this group. Regular monitoring and management of blood pressure, particularly for those with a family history of hypertension, are crucial for preventing the development of hypertension in the pre-elderly population

Abstract

Introduction: Child development is a fundamental aspect determining their future quality of life. Stunting, as a long-term nutritional disorder, remains a significant health issue in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 30.8%, according to Riskesdas 2018. Developmental check-ups play a key role in detecting developmental deviations. Yet, parental involvement remains low and is closely related to the level of understanding and number of children they have. Method: his research employed a cross-sectional approach using a questionnaire on parental knowledge and participation in child development screening, involving 47 respondents. Results: Chi-square test results showed a significant correlation between knowledge level and parental participation (p=0.01), while parity was not significantly associated with parental involvement (p=0.60). Conclusion: The analysis results indicate a significant relationship between knowledge and parental participation in child developmental screening, whereas parity does not show a statistically significant relationship with parental involvement.

Abstract

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) and hypertension are common chronic degenerative diseases in the elderly, often affecting physical function and quality of life. This case study aimed to assess a holistic management plan for an elderly male patient using the principles of family medicine. Method: This was a descriptive case study involving a 76-year-old male patient presenting with bilateral knee and ankle pain for three years and newly diagnosed hypertension. Data were collected through anamnesis, physical examination, home visits, and family assessments. Interventions included pharmacological treatment and structured non-pharmacological management with educational counseling based on patient-centred and family-focused care. Results: Pharmacological therapy included meloxicam, vitamin B12, and amlodipine. Non-pharmacological strategies focused on lifestyle modification, OA-targeted exercises, and disease education for the patient and family. Post-intervention, the patient reported reduced pain (VAS score reduced from 7 to 2), improved blood pressure (from 159/90 mmHg to 140/83 mmHg), and enhanced disease knowledge (pre-test 60% to post-test 90%). Family support and environmental factors also improved. No adverse effects or complications were observed during the intervention. Conclusion: A comprehensive family medicine approach combining medical therapy and targeted education effectively improved clinical symptoms and patient understanding in managing OA and hypertension in the elderly. These findings highlight the importance of family involvement and continuous health education at the primary care level.
