The Correlation between Lifestyle and the Severity of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
No full textDiabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a significant complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), whose incidence is consistently increasing from year to year. Lifestyle is a considerable risk factor for increasing DM complications. To prevent the occurrence of DPN, it is necessary to carry out a more in-depth analysis of the correlation between lifestyle and DPN. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between lifestyle and the severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The research design was a case-control study. The sampling technique used was sequential sampling. Respondents in this study were 94 people divided into two groups: 47 as the case group and 47 as the control group. Based on the Chi-Square test of the relationship between lifestyle and the severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, p-value = 0.000 < (0.05) OR=10.084; 95% CI=3.712-27.395). It could be concluded that there was a correlation between lifestyle and the severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This research could be a learning material and additional knowledge for respondents regarding the importance of improving a healthy lifestyle in every nursing intervention to prevent an increase in the number of degenerative diseases, especially DM, and reduce the incidence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy
The Relationship between Knowledge, Information Sources and Lifestyle and Myopia Prevention in Students
No full textMyopia is a refractive error that occurs when distant objects do not focus properly on the retina. The prevalence of myopia cases has increased over time. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge, information sources, lifestyle, and the prevention of myopia in class VIII students at SMP Negeri 2 Lintongnihuta with a sample size of 58 students. The sampling technique is that the entire population is sampled. The type of research used is analytical descriptive research with a cross-sectional design. The results showed that the majority of respondents had sufficient knowledge (46.6%), were male (63.8%), 13 years old (83.3%), obtained information from electronic media (58.6%), style adequate living (46.6%), and myopia prevention not good (70.7%). Based chi-square statistical test, there is a relationship between knowledge (p-value < α, namely 0.025 < 0.05), sources of information (p-value < α, namely 0.002 < 0.05) and lifestyle (p-value < α, namely 0.000 < 0.05) with the prevention of myopia in class VIII students. It is hoped that there will be a need to increase knowledge about preventing myopia among students at SMP Negeri 2 Lintongnihuta, Lintongnihuta District, Humbang Hasundutan Regency
The Effectiveness of Incubator Humidity Education on Nurse's Knowledge, Attitude, and Skills in Perinatology Room
No full textNewborns, especially premature infants, are at high risk of ineffective thermoregulation due to their less complex skin structure. Impaired thermoregulation experienced by premature infants can lead to hypothermia. Premature infants who experience hypothermia can cause complications that have the potential to cause disability and death. One of the efforts to prevent hypothermia is to place premature infants in an incubator that gives moisture so that moisture regulation is needed to help regulate the baby's temperature, especially in premature infants who experience ineffective thermoregulation. Humidity regulation is required for the incubator to prevent fluid loss through evaporation. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of providing incubator humidity education on nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and skills in the Perinatology room. The research design used a pre-experimental group without control with an accidental sampling technique; namely, there was a pre-test before and a post-test after treatment. Thus, the treatment results can be more accurate because they can be compared with the situation before treatment. This study involved 37 respondents in the perinatology room in one of the state hospitals using pre-and post-test questionnaires conducted from April to May 2022. The results showed that there were significant differences before and after education on knowledge (p=0.001), attitudes (p=0.001), and skills (p=0.001). The results of this study can used as a reference in developing standard procedures for incubator humidity to prevent ineffective thermoregulation in premature infants through cognitive improvement of nurses about incubators

Association of Risk Factors with Type 2 Diabetes: A Scoping Review
No full textThe incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) is one of the public health problems worldwide, with various factors as risk factors that can lead to high morbidity and mortality rates for people with type 2 DM. This study aims to identify, investigate, and summarize various scientific evidence related to risk factors for type 2 DM. The approach used in this study was a scoping review with the PRISMA protocol. The PICO framework was used as an early-stage strategy in conducting article searches. Databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect were used as literature search tools. The study inclusion criteria were journal articles published from 2016 to 2024 and English-language articles with open access. Of the 157 journal articles identified, only 11 were eligible for analysis after selection and eligibility. The data extraction stage was conducted by six people on 11 eligible articles and continued with the qualitative data analysis process. The study reported that age, education, duration of DM, gender and income, physical activity, obesity, consumption of sugary foods and beverages, and low fruit consumption are risk factors for type 2 DM

The effect of gelagah stem extract on blood glucose levels in male white rats induced with alloxan
No full textDiabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin deficiency, insulin resistance, or both. This study aimed to investigate the effects of gelagah stem extract (Saccharum spontaneum L.) on blood glucose levels in male Sprague-Dawley rats induced with alloxan. Experimental rats were divided into six groups: a normal control group, a negative control group (administered 100 mg/kg body weight alloxan), a positive control group (administered 5 mg/kg body weight glibenclamide), and three treatment groups administered gelagah stem extract at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg body weight. Results showed that all doses of gelagah stem extract significantly reduced blood glucose levels in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Statistical analysis (Post hoc LSD) confirmed that the decrease in blood glucose levels was significantly different between the treatment groups and the negative control group (p < 0.05)
