Gizi merupakan faktor yang berperan penting dalam pertumbuhan dan perkembangan balita. Pada aspek gizi, peran orang tua terutama ibu sangatlah penting karena merupakan orang yang terdekat bagi anak. Penelitian pendahuluan ini bertujuan memperoleh gambaran tentang pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku ibu dalam pemenuhan gizi balita. Survai ini melibatkan ibu yang memiliki anak berusia 13 sampai 59 bulan di Wilayah Pancoran Mas, Depok, Jawa Barat sebanyak 112 responden. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah multistage random sampling dan consecutive sampling. Hasil survai menunjukkan sebanyak 75,9% ibu berpengetahuan cukup, 57,1% ibu memiliki sikap yang cukup baik, serta 71,4% ibu berperilaku baik dalam pemenuhan gizi balita. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan kondisi yang positif tetapi perlu diteliti lebih mendalam lagi sehingga permasalahan utama berkaitan dengan gizi balita dapat diidentifikasi.
Leukemia limfositik akut merupakan tipe leukemia yang paling banyak terjadi pada anak-anak yaitu sekitar75-80%. Kemajuan pengobatan kemoterapi pada pasien leukemia limfositik akut telah meningkatkan angkakeberhasilan hidup. Akan tetapi, lama kehidupan yang dapat dicapai oleh pasien belum diiringi dengan pencapaiankualitas hidup yang lebih baik akibat efek sekunder kemoterapi terhadap fisik dan psikososial pasien. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup anak leukemia limfositik akut yang menjalani kemoterapi. Penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional dilakukan pada 25 anak secara consecutive sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scale dan peran perawat (Cronbach α = 0,90). Analisis data menggunakan korelasi Pearson dan uji t independen untuk mengetahui hubungan antar variabel serta regresi linear berganda untuk mengetahui faktor yang paling berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup generik. Hasil menunjukkan terdapat hubungan fase kemoterapi dan peran perawat dengan kualitas hidup generik(p<0,05). Peran perawat merupakan faktor prediktor kualitas hidup generic. Dengan demikian diperlukan upaya peningkatan peran perawat melalui pendidikan pelatihan terkait manajemen kemoterapi dan efek sampingnya.Kata kunci: Fase kemoterapi, kualitas hidup generik, peran perawat.Factors that are Related to Quality of Life of Children with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia who Undergo ChemotherapyAbstractAcute lymphocytic leukemia is a type of leukemia that is most prevalent among children which is around 75-80%. The progress of chemotherapy for acute lymphocytic leukemia has increased the survival rate for this cancer. However, the length of life of the patients is often not accompanied by the better quality of life due to chemotherapy side effects towards patients’ physical and psychosocial conditions. This study aimed to identify factors that are related to the quality of life of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia who undergo chemotherapy in Dr. M.Djamil Hospital, Padang. Quantitative research with cross sectional approach was used to study 25 children who wererecruited using consecutive sampling. The data collection was conducted using PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scaleand nurses roles (Cronbach α = 0,90). The data analysis uses Pearson correlation and independent t-test to examinethe relationships between variable and multiple linear regression to identify the factor that is most related with the generic quality of life. The results showed that there was correlation between chemotherapy phases and nurses roles with generic quality of life (p<0.05). Nurses roles is a predictor factors for generic quality of life. Thus, there is a need to improve nurses’ roles through education and training regarding chemotherapy management and its side effects.Keywords: Chemotherapy phases, generic quality of life, nurses’ roles.
Introduction: The contribution of nurses in improving the quality of life of patients with cancer has caused them to have needs of getting knowledge and skills to provide services on psychosexual health care. Training on psychosexual health care has been developed, implemented and given to oncology nurses in Indonesia in order to fulfill the needs so that the nurses are able to provide psychosexual health care to cancer survivors and their spouse.Method: The training utilized a method of pre- and post-test evaluation to identify outcomes including changes of evaluation scores of knowledge, belief, practice, and self-efficacy of trainees before and after receiving psychosexual health care training.Result: The training has been implemented on 46 oncology nurses in Indonesia so that they can have knowledge, practice, belief and self-efficacy in providing psychosexual health care to patients with cancer and their spouse. After training and mentorship had been provided, there were significant changes on knowledge, belief and self-efficacy in providing psychosexual health care services to patients with cancer and their spouse; however, there were no significant changes on practices.Discussion: The training has become a standard nursing care for cancer in Indonesia and has provided scientific evidences that nurses have contribution in improving quality of life of patients with cancer by providing a comprehensive nursing care through implementation of psychosexual health care in their daily nursing care for patients with cancer and their spouse.
