Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis require essential self-management to lifestyle changes to minimize the risk of complications, morbidity, and mortality. Efforts made to improve self-management of hemodialysis patients in previous studies were carried out by health workers that may not provide 'real' knowledge, while peer support programs carried out by patients as peers to share their experiences may provide more benefits.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of peer support programs on improving self-management in patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis.Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design and involved a total of 33 patients in the control group and 32 patients in the intervention group, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The samples were recruited consecutively. The intervention of peer support programs was implemented through information support, emotional support, and mutual reciprocity in groups of 10-12 people to share experiences related to their self-management. The intervention was given for six sessions; each lasted for 30-45 minutes. The data were collected using the Indonesian version of the hemodialysis self-management instrument (HDSMI) and analyzed using a paired-sample t-test and independent-sample t-test.Results: The results showed that after the intervention, the mean score of self-management in the intervention group increased from 79.47±7.919 to 90.75±7.089, and in the control group, the mean increased from 81.88±8.291 to 82.12±7.692. After the implementation of peer support programs, there was a significant difference in the score of self-management between the intervention and control groups (p<0.001).Conclusion: Peer support programs gave an effect on increasing self-management in patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis. Peer support programs should be introduced early to ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis so that they can learn about self-management from other patients.
Background: Insomnia is a sleep disturbance which commonly occurs in haemodialysis patients. Some factors contribute to insomnia in dialysis patients such as demographic, biological, psychological, lifestyle, and dialysis factors. However, there are limited studies which investigate the relating factors of insomnia in haemodialysis patients in Indonesia. Purpose:This study aimed to analyze the relating factors of insomnia in haemodialysis patients in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study which involved 102 samples recruited by consecutive sampling technique from two dialysis units in Semarang, Central Java. Data were collected by questionnaires and analyzed using Chi-square and multiple logistic regression to know the most relating factors of insomnia. Results: The result showed that insomnia occurred in 63 respondents (61.8%). Further analysis indicated that insomnia was related to anxiety (p=0.034, OR=2.36) and age (p=0.049; OR=1.75). There was no relationship between insomnia and the other factors such as gender, education level, occupation status, marital status, haemoglobin level, smoking and coffee consumption habit, and dialysis factor (period of dialysis). Moreover, anxiety was the most relating factors of insomnia among haemodyalsis patients. Conclusion: This study concluded that anxiety and age were independent factors related to insomnia. This study recommends that anxiety screening should be performed on haemodialysis patients. Anxiety in haemodialysis patients needs to be treated properly so that it will not develop into insomnia.
Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is one of the complications often experienced by patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). This is a serious problem that leads to disability, morbidity, and mortality among diabetic patients. However, in Indonesia, studies about DFU characteristics are very limited. This study aimed to describe DFU characteristics among patients with DM. A consecutive sampling involved patients who met inclusion criteria was performed in Tugurejo Hospital; Islamic Sultan Agung Hospital, and Dr. Moewardi Hospital. Their demographic characteristics, clinical condition, and wound appearances were noted and documented. Diabetic Foot Ulcer Assessment Scale (DFUAS) that consists of 11 characteristics was used to observe the wound features. The data were quantitatively analyzed to elucidate the result. A total of 73 patients participated in this study. It was revealed that 50.7% were females and 75.3% have been diagnosed with hyperglycemia. The average age of the respondents was 53.26 years. Observation of DFU characteristics showed that depth of wound was identified more in subcutaneous/ dermis to fatty tissue (40 patients; 54.8%) than in other layers. Moreover, our findings indicated that most of the respondents were identified at a severe level of the wound (55; 75.3%). It is concluded that DFU characteristics vary among patients with DM. Early identification and intensive surveillance are important to improve the management of DFU and to avoid lower limb amputation.

Femur fracture is a loss of continuity of the femur, which can be caused by direct trauma to the thigh or pathological factors. The main treatment for fractures is ORIF. Implementation of early ambulation is important to prevent post ORIF complications. Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors that influence early ambulation post ORIF in femoral fracture patients. Methods: The study design was a cross-sectional retrospective approach with 82 respondents and data collection using medical record data. The independent variables are education, sex, age, hemoglobin, temperature, blood pressure, pain, fracture location, and time span of operation while the dependent variable is early ambulation. The test used in multivariate is logistic regression test. Results and discussion: Research shows education (p = 0,000), gender (p = 0.028), age (p = 0,000), Hb (p = 0.029), pain (p = 0.001), and location of the fracture (p = 0.007) , is an influential factor. The multivariate model found the fracture location to be the most influencing factor in post ORIF early ambulation in femur fracture patients with p = 0.023 and an OR value of 2.140. Conclusion: This study recommends that nurses first examine the factors that influence early ambulation, especially fracture location factors before providing post ORIF early ambulation interventions in femur fracture patients
