The increasing incidence of complicated diseases in Bali could indicate that diabetes self-care is not optimal. Diabetes mellitus, also abbreviated as DM, is a non-communicable disease whose number of sufferers is increasing. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of audiovisual-based DSME on knowledge and skills of self-care for type 2 diabetes. The design of this study was quasi-experimental design with control group. The sample of the research were 76 respondents who were selected through purposive sampling technique, and then they were divided into two groups, namely the control group (38 respondents) and the intervention group of 38 respondents. Audiovisual-based DSME was given for 5 sessions, which was held 1 week per 1 session. Statistical results showed that there was a significant effect of audiovisual-based DSME on knowledge and skills of self-care for type 2 diabetes (p-value <0.05 for both knowledge and skills). This intervention can be used as an innovation in providing education for diabetes in improving self-care behavior and reducing the risk of complications in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fatigue is one of the clinical manifestations of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and is the most frequently complained by patients. One of the factors that affect fatigue is blood sugar levels. The fasting blood sugar level (KGDP) is a good measure of blood sugar levels because the patient must fast for 8-10 hours before having their blood sugar checked. This study aims to determine the relationship between fasting blood sugar levels and fatigue in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The research design was correlative descriptive with a cross-sectional approach with a purposive sampling technique and a sample size of 30 people. Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) and a glucometer were used for fatigue and KGDP measurements. The results show that the average age of the respondents is 62,77 ± 9,5 years with the majority being women and elementary school education level. The average KGDP of respondents was 146,53 ± 53,22 and the average fatigue value was 48,03 ± 10,03 which is included in the moderate category. This study was analyzed using the Spearman Rank test. Bivariate analysis showed a value of p = 0,186 which means that there was no statistical relationship between fasting blood sugar levels and fatigue in type 2 DM patients. These results were obtained because some respondents had high fatigue scores while low KGDP values and vice versa. Respondents at the research location were still able to carry out their daily activities well which might have contributed to the MFI score. HbA1c examination is needed to determine the blood sugar level of the patient.
Introduction: The ambulance service quality has a great impact on well-being and survival of emergency patients. The patient satisfaction was one of main metrics to assess ambulance service and an indicator of quality to manage pre-hospital emergency service. This research was aimed to analyze the correlation between nurse knowledge and attitude and satisfaction of pre-hospital ambulance service in Bali, Indonesia. Methods: This research exerted correlative analytic method and cross-sectional approach. Moreover, this research involved as many as 271 respondents who were consisted of 127 nurses and 144 patients. The cluster sampling technique was used to select the research respondents. Results: The analysis result of Spearman’s rank test referred the knowledge (p = 0,001; r = 0,269) and attitude (p = 0,000; r = 0,307) significantly have a positive relation to the pre-hospital ambulance service satisfaction in Bali. Conclusion: The result of multiple linear regression test referred that the nurse attitude was a dominant factor which related to the pre-hospital ambulance service satisfaction in Bali. Therefore, it needed to conduct a periodical formal training in order to increase the quality of ambulance nurse service which could affect the increase of pre-hospital ambulance service satisfaction in Bali, Indonesia.
Factor of the accident was the highest cause of mortality. The mortality or death caused by accident could be avoided through a fast and appropriate first aid. The ambulance was a component of EMS that must reach the incident location in a quick time. This research was aimed to identify the effects of ambulance station location and ambulance response time. In the literature review, four databases were used as EBSCOhost, Proquest, Science Direct, and SpringerLink and through access help from Brawijaya University library. PRISMA method was exerted in this research to select the articles and choose as many as 15 research articles that fulfill inclusion criteria. The response time of EMS was very influential for patient care and safety. The standby ambulance location can affect the officer's response time. The determination of the ambulance location for the EMS service provider was very significant to offer an optimal service.
The pre-hospital emergency service was the first guard of nursing and treatment delivery. The pre-hospital ambulance service could be used to offer first aid to the patient or victim who experienced trauma or non-trauma with unpredictable condition. The improvement of service quality on emergency sector was required to assure that the health service was given and performed well. This research was aimed to analyze the correlation between nurse practice and pre-hospital ambulance service satisfaction in Bali. The correlative analytic research method and cross sectional approach were exerted to accomplish this research. The total sample was 271 respondents which were consisted of 144 patients and 127 nurses. The result of Spearman-rank referred p value 0.024; r 0.189 which it was indicated a significant relation between nurse practice and pre-hospital ambulance service satisfaction in Bali. The nurse practice was instituted through educational degree and training experience. The improvement of nurse practice value was in line with the pre-hospital ambulance service satisfaction value in Bali.
