<![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus is a chronic non-communicable disease with a significant increase in prevalence, including among productive age groups and university students. Knowledge about diabetes mellitus plays an important role in early prevention, risk factor control, and the formation of healthy lifestyles from an early age. This study aims to describe the level of knowledge about diabetes mellitus among agribusiness students. This study used a descriptive quantitative cross-sectional design. The research sample consisted of 69 agribusiness students selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to measure students' knowledge about the definition of diabetes mellitus, risk factors, signs and symptoms, prevention, and management. Data were analyzed univariately to describe the distribution of respondents' knowledge levels. The results of the study show that most students have a moderate level of knowledge, while others have a good level, and a small number still have a low level. These findings indicate that agribusiness students have an uneven understanding of diabetes mellitus. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating health education, particularly on non-communicable diseases, into higher education as part of promotional and preventive efforts. Improving students' health literacy can contribute to sustainable prevention of diabetes mellitus in the community.]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension is a chronic health problem commonly experienced by the elderly, requiring long-term management. One way to manage hypertension is through low-salt diet therapy, but in practice, this is often influenced by psychological factors, including self-efficacy. This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and adherence to low-salt diet therapy in elderly people with hypertension. The study employed a cross-sectional, quantitative, correlational design. The sample consisted of 93 elderly individuals selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that measured self-efficacy and adherence to a low-salt diet, and analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test. The results showed a significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and adherence to a low-salt diet. Elderly people with higher levels of self-efficacy tended to be more consistent in implementing dietary recommendations. These findings confirm that self-efficacy plays a crucial role in shaping health behaviours among elderly individuals with hypertension. Therefore, nursing interventions that emphasize strengthening self-efficacy, continuing education, and family involvement have the potential to enhance dietary compliance and support more effective control of hypertension.]]>

<![CDATA[Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis face significant changes in their daily lives, both physically and psychosocially. The process of adapting to this long-term therapy is not always easy and, in many cases, is an important factor affecting patients' quality of life. This study aims to examine the relationship between hemodialysis duration and quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The study used a cross-sectional correlational quantitative design involving 89 patients undergoing routine hemodialysis. Data collection was conducted using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation test. The results showed a significant positive relationship between patient adaptation and quality of life. Patients with better adaptation abilities tended to report a higher quality of life. These findings emphasize the important role of nursing in supporting the patient's adaptation process through a holistic, continuous care approach. Efforts to strengthen patient adaptation can improve the well-being and quality of life of individuals with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis]]>

<![CDATA[Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of illness and death in toddlers. Mothers, as primary caregivers, play a central role in early prevention efforts, but their knowledge and attitudes regarding pneumonia prevention remain variable. This study aims to examine the relationship between mothers' knowledge and attitudes and pneumonia prevention in toddlers. This study used a correlational quantitative design. The sample consisted of 126 mothers who had toddlers, selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that measured mothers' knowledge of risk factors, signs and symptoms, and pneumonia prevention efforts, as well as mothers' attitudes toward prevention practices. Data analysis used the Chi-square test. The results showed a significant relationship between mothers' knowledge levels and their efforts to prevent pneumonia in toddlers. Most mothers had a moderate level of knowledge, but there were still gaps in understanding, especially regarding risk factors and early detection. Mothers' attitudes toward pneumonia prevention were not fully reflected in optimal prevention practices. These findings indicate the need for consistent knowledge support and contextual reinforcement. This study emphasizes the importance of community-based nursing interventions that focus on increasing practical knowledge and forming preventive attitudes to strengthen efforts to prevent pneumonia in toddlers.]]>

<![CDATA[Anxiety can harm behavior, social functioning, and the rehabilitation process, especially in adolescents in conflict with the law. This study aims to analyze the effect of mindfulness meditation therapy on anxiety levels in adolescents in conflict with the law at the Paramita Mataram Center. The study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test post-test pre-experimental design. All adolescents who met the inclusion criteria were involved as research samples, with a total of 48 respondents through total sampling. Anxiety levels were measured before and after the intervention using a questionnaire. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The results showed a decrease in anxiety levels after mindfulness meditation therapy. The decrease was marked by a shift in the anxiety category from moderate to low or no anxiety. These findings indicate that mindfulness meditation is effective in helping adolescents improve emotional regulation and psychological awareness. This intervention has practical relevance as a promotive and preventive approach in mental health services for adolescents in conflict with the law.]]>

<![CDATA[The increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus poses a challenge in the management of long-term diseases. The ability of patients to consistently manage their own care is primarily determined by self-efficacy. This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and self-management in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study uses a quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional design. A total of 59 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected through purposive sampling, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection was conducted using a self-efficacy questionnaire and the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire to measure patients' self-care behaviors. Data analysis was performed using Spearman's correlation test. The findings showed a significant, moderate positive relationship between self-efficacy and self-management. The results indicate that patients with higher self-efficacy tend to have better self-management abilities. Strengthening self-efficacy in nursing interventions and diabetes education programs is an important part of supporting the sustainability of self-care behaviors and improving patient health outcomes.]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension is the most common chronic health problem experienced by pre-elderly people, increasing their risk of cardiovascular disease. Acupressure, as a complementary therapy, is increasingly recognized as a supportive approach to blood pressure management, but knowledge among pre-elderly people remains uneven. This study aims to describe the level of knowledge among pre-elderly individuals regarding complementary acupressure therapy for blood pressure management. The study used a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 69 pre-elderly individuals selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that measured respondents' understanding of the basic concepts of acupressure, its benefits, pressure points, and its role in blood pressure management. Data analysis was performed descriptively, presenting the frequency distributions and percentages of respondents' knowledge levels. The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of knowledge, with a better understanding of the general benefits of acupressure than of its technical aspects. Pre-elderly people's knowledge of acupressure therapy still needs strengthening. The development of integrated health education should improve the safe and appropriate use of complementary therapies for blood pressure management in the pre-elderly group.]]>

<![CDATA[Mental health problems in adolescence are often associated with sleep disorders that affect academic performance and daily functioning. This study aims to describe the mental health status and sleep quality of adolescents in a public junior high school in Bali, Indonesia. The study used a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design. A sample of 178 seventh-grade students was selected using stratified random sampling. Mental health status was measured using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, while sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that most adolescents had a mental health status in the normal category, although a significant proportion were found in the borderline and abnormal categories. More than half of the respondents reported good sleep quality, while the rest experienced suboptimal sleep quality. These findings indicate that although the general condition of adolescents is relatively good, there are still at-risk groups that require special attention through early screening and school-based promotive and preventive interventions.]]>

<![CDATA[Living with diabetes mellitus can cause emotional distress that interferes with daily care, but the assessment of diabetes-related distress in primary care services is still not carried out consistently. This study aims to describe the level of diabetes-related distress among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the working area of the Kagok Community Health Center in Semarang. The study used a quantitative descriptive design with 90 patients with diabetes selected via consecutive sampling. Diabetes-related distress was measured using the Diabetes Distress Scale-17 instrument. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented in cross-tabulations by respondent characteristics. The results showed that most respondents experienced low levels of distress, while a small number reported moderate distress, and high distress was rare. Moderate to high distress was more common in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and was also found in groups with shorter disease duration, comorbidities, and specific occupational categories. These findings support the need to integrate distress screening into diabetes services at community health centers. Follow-up nursing management is carried out in stages through literacy-sensitive education, family involvement, and appropriate referral mechanisms for patients with increasing distress.]]>

<![CDATA[Limitations in school-age children's knowledge about unhealthy eating and drinking patterns can increase the risk of long-term health problems, so early prevention efforts are needed. This study aims to provide an overview of the level of knowledge of elementary school children about the dangers of packaged sweetened beverages. The study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. 133 fifth and sixth grade students were involved in the study, selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation. The results showed that most respondents had a good level of knowledge about the dangers of packaged sweetened beverages. A better level of knowledge tended to be found in older students, female students, students whose parents worked as private employees or entrepreneurs, students who obtained health information from the internet, and students who more often bought packaged sweetened beverages at school. The findings indicate that elementary school children already have a sufficient knowledge base regarding the health risks of sweetened beverages, but environmental factors and sources of information still play an important role in shaping this understanding. Strengthening school-based health education and family support is necessary to encourage healthier beverage choices from an early age.]]>
