Introduction: Long-term COVID-19 pandemic which has existed in Indonesia since 2020 not only poses a risk to public health but also to their social conditions. Indonesia, as a country with strong social fabric within its people, has a high sense of social responsibilities in facing the pandemic. The aim of this study is to describe Indonesians’ readiness in facing long-term COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive study used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 305 residents of five cities in Indonesia. They were chosen not randomized by distributing a survey invitation via WhatsApp group with the background of the general public, and health cadres. We waited until the response received reached the targeted number of respondents. The data were collected using Google Forms, and were analyzed by using a descriptive method (percentage, P-value, and odds ratio) by SPSS statistical software version 25. Results: The readiness in facing the pandemic fell into two categories: the high readiness level (77.1%) and the low readiness level (22.9%). Gender and age do not affect the level of readiness, while the level of education and employment status influenced the level of readiness. Conclusions: The majority of Indonesians have high readiness level. Public participation can decrease COVID-19 transmission rate.
Background: Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure that can pump blood throughout the body within limits above normal. Hypertension is the number one cause of death in the world and is more common in the elderly. This causes various disturbances to a person, one of which is spiritual distress. One of the efforts that can be done to reduce the level of spiritual distress is dhikr and wudu therapy.Purpose: The effect of Dhikr and Wudu as therapy on spiritual distress in hypertantion patients.Methods: this study used a Quasy Eexperiment Nonequivalent Control Group Design study on 36 respondents who had hypertension, which consisted of 18 for the intervension group and 18 for the control group.Results: the results of the Wilcoxon test in the intervention group showed that the p value of changes in the level of spiritual distress before and after being given dhikr and wudu therapy was 0,000, indicating p 0,05. While the results of the Paired Sample T Test in the control group obtained p value of 0.010 indicating p 0,05. The results of the mann whitney test showed that the p value was 0,000 indicating p 0,05Conclusion: there is an effect of dhikr and wudhu therapy on spiritual distress in patients with hypertension.
Introduction : Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder and chronic affecting 20 million people worldwide. Schizophrenia is characterized by impaired of language, sense of self and behaviour distortions in thinking, perception, and emotions. Some case include delusions (fixed, false beliefs) and hallucinations (hearing voices or seeing things that are not there). Schizophrenia is treatable disease with psychosocial support and medicines is effective. The role of public health service counselor is important to give psychosocial support and medicines to patient. Aim of this studi to describe efforts and constraints public health care counselor in the care of schizophrenic patients. Methods : A descriptive qualitative study with 4 informants from public health service counselor. Purposive sampling is used to selecting informants. Analize of data was carried out qualitatively. The triangulation of sources, methods, researchers, and theories is used to test validity. The study was conducted in January-November 2019, in Pilang Kenceng Village, Madiun Regency. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviewing using guide questions. Results : The results showed that there were 6 themes in answering research objectives are submission of training, optimizing the role of the community, early detection, providing treatment, counseling and constraints. Conclution : Efforts made by counselors have not been running optimally because of the synergy and communication with the community is not going well. Contraints in efforts in the care of schizophrenic patients is support from the government that is minimum.
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia that occurs due to abnormal insulin secretion. Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) is an important role in preventing or delaying complications in people with pre-diabetes and diabetes. Aim of study is to analize effect of Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) with audiovisual media on self-care and decreasing blood sugar levels in diabetes mellitus patients type II Methods: Using a quasy experiment research design with control group design. Samples is 34 respondents (17 respondents in the control group and 17 respondents in the experimental group) that chosen randomly with odd and even way according to data patients DM. Self care measured by Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activity (SDSCA) questionnaire, and blood sugar level measure with a glucometer. Intervention group given DSME for 14 days, and control group get treatment according to community standards. Bivariate analysis used the non-parametric Wilcoxon test and to see the difference between pre-test and post-test on the self-care variable and to see the differences between groups using the Mann-Whitney test. Analysis of bivariate test on blood sugar levels drop variables using parametric test Paired T-Test and to see the difference between groups using Independent T-Test test. Results: The results of the Wilcoxon test of self-care control group p=0.246 (p=<0.05), so there is no effect, the experimental group p = 0.005 (p=<0.05), so that concluded no effect. Mann-Whitney test results with personal care and experimental control group p=0.000 (p=<0.05), so that there is a significant difference. Results of Paired T-Test blood sugar control group p = 0.812 (p =<0.05), so there is no effect, the experimental group, p = 0.000 (p=<0.05), so that concluded no effect. The results of the Independent T-Test blood sugar levels in the control and experimental groups p=0.020 (p=<0.05), so there is a significant difference in effect. Conclusion: There is the influence of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) The Audiovisual Media on self-care and decrease blood sugar levels in people with Type II DiabetsMellitus.
Introduction: The highest cause of death is cardiac arrest. Proper manual chest compression will increase survival of cardiac arrest. The aim of this study was to know the implementation of chest compressions for cardiac arrest patient in Indonesia.Methods: This study used a descriptive quantitative design. The samples were nurse and code blue team when performing manual chest compression to 74 patients experiencing cardiac arrest. The sample have body mass index (BMI) > 20. Research was conducted in two hospitals in Java, Indonesia. Implementation of chest compression is measured based on depth accuracy. Depth accuracy of chest compressions was assessed based on the comparison of the number of R waves with a height >10 mV on the bedside monitor with the number of chest compressions performed. The data were analyzed descriptively (mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and variances).Results: Result of this study is the mean of accuracy of compression depth is 75.97%. The result shows accuracy of compression depth on manual chest compression still under the American Heart Association (AHA) recommendation of 80%, because chest compression rate are not standardized. Chest compression rates are between 100-160 rates/minute, while AHA’s recommendations are 100-120 rates/minute. High compression speed causes a decrease in accuracy of chest compressions depth.Conclusion: In conclusion, the implementation of chest compressions in Indonesia if measured based on accuracy of compression depth is not effective. Nurses and the code blue team have to practice considering the use of cardiac resuscitation aids.
