Background: Many tuberculosis sufferers experience recurrent events due to incomplete treatment processes. It is often found that tuberculosis sufferers re-enter the hospital because the condition is getting worse. Thus, factors related to the successfulness of the treatment of tuberculosis warrant identification. Objectives: This review was to summarize and identify the current literature related to the successful treatment of tuberculosis and its factors.Design: A Whittemore and Knafl’s integrative review was used.Data Sources: Data sources included four electronic databases: EBSCO, PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar to search literature published between 2002 and 2017.Review methods: A systematic process was carried out to extract and analyze the data of all included studies.Results: A total of 146 articles were deemed appropriate for the topic, but only 28 articles were included based on inclusion criteria. It was found that a wide range of factors related to the successful treatment of tuberculosis, including predisposing factors (socioeconomic, knowledge, psychological stress, and availability to access health service), reinforcing factor (family support and social stigma), and enabling factor (physician and nurse support).Conclusion: Family support, socioeconomic, physician and nurse support, availability to access health services, social stigma, psychological stress, and knowledge were significant factors of the successful treatment of tuberculosis. For future research, the interventions to promote the program for decreasing the occurrence of the recurrent tuberculosis in the community need to consider these factors for the successful treatment of tuberculosis and collaborates with tuberculosis patients, family and health service for development of appropriate intervention.

Objective: This integrative review aims to summarize and identify the current literature related to health behavior among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) Patients and its factors.Methods: An integrative review was undertaken using literature published between 2000 and 2013, based on CINAHL, Springer link, PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar.Results: Twenty-two articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. This review indicated a wide range of factors influencing health behavior among T2DM patients including predisposing factors (socioeconomic, knowledge, stress management, and health belief), reinforcing factor (family support), and enabling factor (health service).Conclusion: Family support, socioeconomic and knowledge are the significant major factors of health behavior among T2DM patients. However, the others factors such as stress management, health belief and health service are also the important factors for T2DM patient’s health behaviors. Therefore, these factors should be considered for development of appropriate interventions to promote health behavior among T2DM patients at community.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the leading causes of death and it is caused by genetics, nutrition, and unhealthy behaviors. Therefore, changes in lifestyle associated with eating behaviors in diabetes mellitus patients greatly impact on their quality of life. There are many factors related with changes in lifestyle of diabetes mellitus patients, especially eating behaviors.Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationships between self-efficacy, psychological stress, family support, and eating behaviors among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in Sidoarjo, Indonesia.Method: A total of 117 T2DM patients from the Sidoarjo Community Health Center were included in the analysis. Using SPSS IBM 21.0 program, Pearson product moment correlation was performed to analyze data.Results: The findings showed that self-efficacy and family support had positive relationship with eating behaviors (r = .692, p < .001; r = .683, p < .001, respectively). Psychological stress had negative relationship with eating behaviors (r = -.327, p < .001).Conclusion: Self-efficacy, family support, and psychological stress had relationship with eating behaviors. Nurses should pay attention to the factors to make T2DM patients into a long-term commitment toward healthy eating behaviors.

Background: Caesarean section surgery is a delivery procedure performed for mothers who want to give birth with complications. The recovery process from caesarean section surgery will vary from one person to another. Several factors can affect the recovery duration of caesarean section surgery, including education level, age, history of caesarean section surgery, motivation given by health workers, early mobilization provided by health workers, and others. Objective: This study aimed to analyse the relationship between education level, age, history of caesarean section surgery, and recovery duration of post-operative caesarean section surgery. Methods: The research design used is descriptive-analytic research with a cross-sectional approach. This research was carried out from May 5, 2021, until June 15, 2021, in the Recovery Room of the General Hospital of Jasem, Sidoarjo. The sampling technique used is incidental sampling, so the number of respondents obtained in this study is 50. The research instrument used was medical records to determine the level of education, age and history of caesarean section surgery. In addition, the researchers also used the Bromage Scale to evaluate the duration of recovery from post-operative caesarean section surgery. The statistical test used was the Spearmen Rho test with a significance level of < .05 using SPSS 21. Results: This study showed a relationship between age and history of caesarean section surgery (p-value < .05, r = .310). The results of this study also showed that there was a relationship between age and history of caesarean section surgery with duration of recovery of post-operative caesarean section surgery (p-value < .05, r = .356; p-value < .001, r = .603, respectively). Conclusion: This study found that health workers are expected to consider age and history of caesarean section surgery in the recovery process of post-operative caesarean section surgery patients.

Objectives: To examine the level of successful aging and the relationship between successful aging and activities of daily living (ADL), life satisfaction, social support, income, and self-efficacy among community-dwelling elderly in Wenzhou, China. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was applied. Subjects were community-dwelling elderly in 4 districts of Wenzhou, China. Simple random sampling was used to recruit 83 participants. All participants were screened using the Mini-Cog tool. Data were collected using 6 questionnaires such as a demographic questionnaire, the Successful Aging Inventory (SAI), the Barthel Index for ADL, the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The results showed that 53% of the participants had a higher level of successful aging and 43.4% had a moderate level of successful aging with a mean score of 56.76 (standard deviation [SD] = 12.31). Factors such as elderly income (r = 0.73, P < 0.001) and self-efficacy (r = 0.72, P < 0.001) had high correlations with successful aging, whereas ADL (r = 0.67, P < 0.001), life satisfaction (r = 0.63, P < 0.001), and social support (r = 0.36, P < 0.001) had moderate correlations with successful aging. Conclusions: There was a significant positive correlation between successful aging and ADL, life satisfaction, social support, income, and self-efficacy among community-dwelling elderly in Wenzhou, China. The findings may guide the formulation of more effective health education and intervention measures to improve successful aging among the elderly.
