Leprosy (Morbus Hansen) is a chronic infectious disease of the skin caused by Mycobacterium leprae, leprosy is also known as "the great imitator disease" because of the similar manifestations to other skin diseases such as fungal infections so that a person rarely realizes that he has had leprosy. This qualitative study was conducted to explore community perceptions about leprosy with 6 male and 4 female participants. The method used is a phenomenological approach with consecutive sampling as a sampling technique. There are 5 themes obtained in this study, namely factors that influence perception, the form of public perception of leprosy patients, community behavior in preventing leprosy transmission, hope for leprosy patients, and hope for health workers. Health education about leprosy is needed by the community to deepen their knowledge about leprosy and the attitude of the community towards people with leprosy.
Hyperglycemia is one of the problems of Diabetes Mellitus patients. Hyperglycemia that is not well controlled can cause many complications, one of which is interference with the flow of peripheral blood vessels that can cause diabetic ulcers. Vascularity disorders can be prevented with Buerger Allen Exercise therapy and Diabetic Foot Spa to increase the value of ABI. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Buerger Allen Exercise therapy and Diabetic Foot Spa to the value of ABI in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. The design of this study was Quasi Experiment Pre and post test two groups with 15 group A respondents given Buerger Allen Exercise intervention and 15 group B respondents given Diabetic Foot Spa intervention. The results showed that there was an increase in the value of ABI after intervention in both groups with the difference in the increase in the Buerger Allen Exercise group by 0.050 while the Diabetic Foot Spa group by 0.113. The conclusion of this study is that there was an increase in ABI values in both groups after the intervention but the Diabetic Foot Spa group had a higher increase. Diabetic Foot Spa can be recommended as an alternative therapy as prevention of peripheral arterial disease complications.
This study aims to identify the effect of 1 minute hyperoxygenation on the suctioning process on oxygen saturation of patients with mechanical ventilators. Quasi experimental research design pre-post test with control group design. The sample in this study were 34 respondents who installed mechanical ventilators. Analysis using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed oxygen I saturation before median hyperoxygenation 97 min 95-99, after median hyperoxygenation 99 min 98-100 with p value 0.05. While in the intervention group II before median hyperoxygenation 97 min 95-100, after median hyperoxygenation 99 min 95-100, with p value 0.05. Conclusions there were significant differences in oxygen saturation before and after 1 minute hyperoxygenation administration. Keywords: Hyperoxygenation, Suction Process, Oxygen Saturation, Ventilator.
This study aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the meaning and significance of the experience of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in taking preventive measures for injury at PERSADIA Islamic Hospital Jakarta Pondok Kopi. This study uses a qualitative design and data collection is done by in-depth interview techniques. The results obtained were four) themes produced, namely the picture of maintaining diet, diverse blood sugar control activities, the challenges of therapeutic adherence and the ability to properly care for the feet. Conclusion, the experience of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in preventing injuries, should adhere to the treatment and maintain the food according to diet so that blood sugar levels remain stable. Another thing to note is, the active role of health workers in providing education about proper foot care. Keywords: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Prevention of Wound Occurrence
The aim of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of insulin injection time on blood glucose levels 2 hours after meals. The research design was experimental randomized pretest-posttest two group design. The results of the study, blood glucose levels of intervention I before meals (234.88 mg / dl ± 79.68) and 2 hours after meals (246.94 mg / dl ± 76.76) with a p value of 0,000. Intervention II (234.12 mg / dl ± 80.86), 2 hours after eating (252.35 mg / dl ± 78.79) with a p value of 0,000. Difference in blood glucose levels of intervention I and intervention II (12.06 ± 3.96), (18.24 ± 4.97) with a p value of 0.000. The influence of BMI counfounding variables on blood glucose levels was obtained (p values 0.008 and 0.037). Conclusion, giving insulin injection 0-10 minutes is more effective compared to giving insulin injection 11-20 minutes before meals in patients with type 2 DM. Keywords: Type 2 diabetes, blood glucose 2 hours after meals, insulin injection time
