FAKTOR KARAKTERISTIK DEMOGRAFI IBU TERHADAP STATUS GIZI IBU PADA MASA KEHAMILAN
Full text linkMasalah gizi sampai sekarang masih merupakan masalah di seluruh dunia, terutama di negara berkembang. Salah satu kelompok rentan terhadap masalah gizi ini adalah ibu hamil. Berbagai dampak dapat terjadi akibat ibu yang mengalami masalah gizi baik bagi ibu maupun pada proses pertumbuhan janin yang akan dilahirkan. Terdapat masalah yang mendasar yang dapat mempengaruhi masalah gizi ibu di antaranya seperti status sosial ekonomi yang rendah, tingkat pendidikan yang rendah dan ketersediaan akses yang tidak memadai ke pelayanan gizi, serta diperburuk dengan kondisi ketidaksetaraan dalam mendapatkan akses makanan dan pelayanan kesehatan yang baik dan berkualitas. Selain itu karakteristik ibu, seperti usia, tingkat pendidikan, paritas, pekerjaan, dan pendapatan keluarga, sering dikaitkan dengan status gizi selama kehamilan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh karakteristik ibu terhadap status gizi ibu pada masa kehamilan. Metode penelitian ini adalah penelitian cross sectional dengan pendekatan retrospektif. Hasil Penelitian: Berdasarkan uji chi square didapatkan hasil bahwa faktor usia saat kehamilan (P value=0,434), Tingkat pendidikan (P value=0,569) dan paritas (P value=0,736) tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap status gizi ibu hamil( P value > 0,05), sedangkan faktor status pekerjaan (P value=0,014) memiliki pengaruh terhadap status gizi ibu hamil (p value< 0,05). Kesimpulan: Faktor karakteristik ibu yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap status gizi ibu hamil adalah status pekerjaan sedangkan usia, tingkat pendidikan, dan paritas tidak memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap status gizi ibu hamil. Saran: bidan perlu meningkatkan pemantauan status gizi ibu hamil untuk mendeteksi kekurangan energi kronis (KEK) sejak dini dan dalam memberikan intervensi untuk meningkatkan status gizi ibu hamil perlu mempertimbangkan status pekerjaan ibu dan jenis pekerjaan ibu, termasuk memberikan edukasi dan dukungan terkait pola makan serta manajemen beban kerja, terutama bagi ibu yang bekerja terutama bagi ibu hamil yang mempunyai beban kerja yang berat.
Nutritional problems are still a problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries. One group vulnerable to this nutritional problem is pregnant women. Various impacts can occur due to mothers who experience nutritional problems for the mother and the growth of the fetus. There are fundamental problems that can affect maternal nutritional problems, including low socioeconomic status, low education levels and inadequate access to nutritional services, and are exacerbated by conditions of inequality in obtaining access to good and quality food and health services. In addition, maternal characteristics, such as age, education level, parity, occupation, and family income, are often associated with nutritional status during pregnancy Objective: to determine the effect of maternal characteristics on maternal nutritional status during pregnancy. Method: a cross-sectional study with a retrospective approach. Results: Based on the chi square test, the results obtained were that age factors during pregnancy (P value = 0.434), education level (P value = 0.569) and parity (P value = 0.736) have no effect on the nutritional status of pregnant women (P value > 0.05), while the employment status factor (P value = 0.014) has an effect on the nutritional status of pregnant women (p value <0.05). Conclusion: The maternal characteristic factor that has a significant influence on the nutritional status of pregnant women is employment, while age, education level, and parity do not have a significant effect on the nutritional status of pregnant women. Suggestion: midwives need to improve monitoring of the nutritional status of pregnant women to detect chronic energy deficiency early and in providing interventions to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women, it is necessary to consider the mother's employment status and type of mother's work, including providing education and support related to diet and workload management, especially for working mothers

Karakteristik Demografi Dan Efikasi Diri Pada Penderita Hipertensi
No full textHypertension is a non-communicable disease with a steadily increasing global prevalence among adults. This is also the case in Eastern Indonesia, particularly in North Minahasa, making self-management through self-efficacy key to reducing the risk of complications. A comparative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach was used to analyze the relationship between demographic characteristics (age, gender, education level, employment status, and income) and self-efficacy in 130 hypertensive patients selected using convenience sampling in the working area of a community health center in North Minahasa. Univariate analysis showed that the majority of respondents were elderly (49.2%), female (76.9%), high school educated (35%), had an income below the minimum wage (83.8%), were housewives (56.1%), and 59.2% had high self-efficacy. Bivariate tests using Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis revealed that only the category of employment status had a significant difference in self-efficacy (p=.011), where retirees and housewives had higher self-efficacy ratings than those who were not working. These findings emphasize the importance of employment status and routine in increasing the confidence of hypertensive patients in self-management of their disease.
Hipertensi merupakan salah satu penyakit tidak menular dengan prevalensi global yang terus meningkat pada populasi orang dewasa. Di wilayah Indonesia Timur, khususnya Minahasa Utara, hal ini juga terjadi, sehingga pengelolaan mandiri melalui efikasi diri menjadi kunci dalam menurunkan risiko komplikasi. Penelitian deskriptif komparatif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional digunakan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara karakteristik demografi (usia, jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, status pekerjaan, dan pendapatan) dan efikasi diri pada 130 penderita hipertensi yang dipilih dengan teknik convenience sampling di wilayah kerja salah satu Puskesmas yang berada di Minahasa Utara. Analisis univariat menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden berusia dewasa lanjut (49,2%), memiliki jenis kelamin perempuan (76,9%), berpendidikan SMA (35%), berpendapatan di bawah UMR (83,8%), berstatus ibu rumah tangga (56,1%), serta 59,2% memiliki efikasi diri tinggi. Uji bivariat dengan Mann Whitney U dan Kruskal Wallis mengungkapkan bahwa hanya kategori pada variabel status pekerjaan yang memiliki perbedaan signifikan terhadap kondisi efikasi diri (p=,011), di mana pensiunan dan ibu rumah tangga memiliki peringkat efikasi diri lebih tinggi dibanding yang tidak bekerja. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya status pekerjaan dan rutinitas dalam meningkatkan keyakinan diri penderita hipertensi untuk manajemen penyakit mandiri
Kualitas Tidur dan Keterhubungannya dengan Stres Akademik pada Mahasiswa Tingkat Akhir di Universitas Klabat
No full textOne of the common problems faced by university students is academic stress. This condition can affect sleep quality through mechanisms such as increased levels of epinephrine, cortisol, and norepinephrine, which stimulate the cerebral cortex and the reticular activating system (RAS), leading to wakefulness and disrupted sleep quality. This study aimed to determine the relationship between academic stress and sleep quality among final-year students at Universitas Klabat. Using a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach, a total of 167 students were selected through purposive sampling. The results showed that 111 respondents (66.5%) experienced moderate academic stress, and 150 respondents (89.8%) had poor sleep quality. The Spearman correlation test revealed a significant relationship (p = 0.000 < 0.05) with a weak positive correlation (r = 0.282), indicating that higher academic stress is associated with poorer sleep quality. However, logistic regression analysis (p ≥ 0.05) across nine indicators of academic stress found no significant relationship between specific stress indicators and sleep quality. It is recommended that students manage their study schedules and rest time to reduce academic stress and improve sleep quality. Future researchers are encouraged to explore other variables that may influence poor sleep quality.
Salah satu masalah yang sering dialami oleh mahasiswa adalah stres akademik. Kondisi ini dapat memengaruhi kualitas tidur melalui peningkatan hormon epinefrin, kortisol, dan norepinefrin yang menstimulasi korteks serebral serta sistem aktivasi retikular (RAS), sehingga menyebabkan sulit tidur dan menurunkan kualitas tidur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara stres akademik dan kualitas tidur pada mahasiswa tingkat akhir di Universitas Klabat. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif korelasi dengan pendekatan cross sectional, melibatkan 167 responden yang dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 111 responden (66,5%) mengalami stres akademik sedang dan 150 responden (89,8%) memiliki kualitas tidur yang buruk. Uji korelasi Spearman menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan (p = 0,000 < 0,05) dengan koefisien korelasi positif yang lemah (r = 0,282), yang berarti semakin tinggi stres akademik maka semakin buruk kualitas tidur. Namun, hasil uji regresi logistik (p ≥ 0,05) pada sembilan indikator stres akademik menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan signifikan antara indikator stres akademik dengan kualitas tidur. Disarankan agar mahasiswa dapat mengatur waktu belajar dan istirahat untuk mengurangi stres akademik dan meningkatkan kualitas tidur, serta bagi peneliti selanjutnya untuk meneliti faktor lain yang mungkin berpengaruh terhadap kualitas tidur yang buruk

Analisis Hubungan Usia dan Jenis Kelamin dengan Tingkat Distres Pada Pasien Diabetes Melitus Tipe 2
No full textDiabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from impaired insulin secretion or insulin resistance. Type 2 DM is the most prevalent form, accounting for approximately 90–95% of all diabetes cases worldwide. In addition to causing physical complications, DM is also closely associated with psychological problems, one of which is distress. Distress in diabetic patients can increase blood glucose levels, exacerbate complications, and reduce quality of life. This study employed a descriptive observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The research instrument used was the Diabetes Distress Screening Scale (DDS), consisting of 17 questions. The study was conducted at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital. The sample was obtained through purposive sampling, involving 47 type 2 DM patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test with SPSS software. The majority of respondents experienced mild distress (63.8%), followed by moderate distress (29.8%) and severe distress (6.4%). The most influential domains were emotional burden and regimen-related distress, indicating that patients continue to face challenges in accepting their chronic condition and managing daily self-care routines. The Kruskal–Wallis analysis revealed no significant differences in distress levels based on gender (p=0.865) or age (p=0.912). In conclusion, most type 2 DM patients experienced mild distress, with no significant association between age or gender and distress levels. These findings highlight the importance of emotional support and continuous education to improve patients’ quality of life.

PENGARUH SENAM KAKI DIABETES TERHADAP SENSITIVITAS KAKI DENGAN PENGUKURAN IPSWICH TOUCH TEST (IPTT)
No full textBackground: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease frequently associated with peripheral neuropathy, which manifests as reduced foot sensitivity and increases the risk of diabetic foot ulcers and amputations. The Ipswich Touch Test (IPTT) is a simple and low-cost screening method that is feasible to implement in primary health care settings in Indonesia. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of diabetic foot exercise on foot sensitivity measured using IPTT and to highlight its contribution to evidence-based nursing practice. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was applied. Thirty patients with type 2 DM from Kota Timur Health Center were recruited through purposive sampling and divided equally into intervention (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The intervention group performed supervised diabetic foot exercises three times per week for four consecutive weeks, while the control group received standard education only. Foot sensitivity was assessed using IPTT before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann–Whitney U test at a significance level of ρ<0.05. Results: The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in foot sensitivity (p<0.001), while the control group showed no clinically meaningful change (p=0.008). Posttest scores differed significantly between groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: Diabetic foot exercise effectively improves foot sensitivity in patients with type 2 DM as measured by IPTT. This study emphasizes IPTT as a practical screening tool in Indonesian primary care and supports its integration into national diabetes programs such as Prolanis.
