ASSOCIATION OF FAMILY'S SUPPORT, ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOR TO QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENT WITH DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE II
Get PDFBackground: As diabetes mellitus has become the global burden of disease, regional center Endocrinology Society of West Kalimantan found the prevalence of DM was quite high, at 11%. Lack of support, attitudes and family roles to patients with Diabetes Mellitus type II were found as the determinant factors of low quality life of patients with DM type II.
Aims: to assess the association of family's support, attitudes and behaviors with the quality of life of patients with diabetes mellitus type II
Methods: This research was a quantitative research using correlation analytic method and cross sectional approach that emphasizes time measurement / observation of independent and dependent variable data, only once at one time. In 11-day sampling, thirty (30) patients with diabetes mellitus type II were selected from total 282 patients who visited Kitamura Pontianak Clinic, Indonesia, using a non-probability sampling (non-random sample) with consecutive sampling method. A questionnaire was employed in order to assess the level of family's support, attitude, and behavior to quality of life of the participated patients.
Results: From total 30 selected patients, only 26.7% had good support from their family. Moreover, the majority notified their family orchestrating less attitude and behavior toward Diabetes Mellitus type II, respectively, at the percentage of 40% and 46.7%. In the other hand, only 6 patients claimed their family having either good attitude or good behavior. It is not surprising notice only 20 respondents claimed they had good quality of life, while 36.7% declared having enough quality of life, and the majority (43.3%)experienced less quality of life responding to their health. Using Rank Spearmen test, the data suggests that there were significantly positive association between family's support, attitude, and behavior toward respondents' life quality, with significant value less than 0.05.

THE EFFECT OF GUIDED IMAGERY RELAXATION TOWARDS PAIN LEVEL OF POST-SURGICAL CAESAREAN SECTION PATIENTS IN GENERAL HOSPITAL MUHAMMADIYAH SITI AMINAH BUMIAYU, INDONESIA
Get PDFBackground: Pain is one of the diagnostic study found in the post-surgical phases, including sectio caesaria. Sectio caesaria surgery causes tissue and cell damage that result in the release of painful substances such as bradykinin, lactic acid and prostaglandins. These substances cause nociceptor impulses and lower the pain threshold, causing the sensitivity of pain receptors. One of the interventions that can be done to relief the pain is through the use of guided imagery relaxation techniques. This method was one of the nonpharmacological treatments to lessen the pain by using words and positive imagination.
Aim: To compare the pain level of the patients with post operation of sectio caesaria, before and after guided imagery relaxation.Methods: The research design was pre-experimental with one pre-test group of 30 patients. The population in this study were post-operative patients of sectio caesaria at Muhammadiyah General Hospital Siti Aminah Bumiayu, where in October 2014 the number of cure patients treated in the Marwah Room were 55 patients. The respondents' samples were taken from their surgical procedures of sectio caesaria. The sampling technique was purposive sampling.
Results: The result showed the difference in level of pain, whereas before guided imagery relaxation the patients had 100% of pain level, and after the treatment it decreased to 90 % of pain level. The analysis of Wilcoxon Signed Rank test of 95% CI (α=0,05) yielded p-value 0,000 < α (0,05). Verbal Descriptor Scale (VDS), the scale used in assessing pain, is the scale of intensity of descriptive pain. The assessment will be more accurate if the clients are able to precisely describe the perceived sensation. The nurse may also provide a glossary of terms to describe the pain to the clients.
Conclusion: Guided imagery relaxation had a significant effect towards the levels of post-operative sectio caesaria's pain. Nurses can apply guided imagery relaxation as an intervention and develop the related standard operational procedure (SOP) to ease the patients' pain problem

Engaging schools in diagnosis and treatment of malaria: Evidence of sustained impact on morbidity and behavior
Get PDFBackground: In low and middle income countries (LMICs) teachers send home children found sick in class devolving subsequent care to parents; where malaria is endemic, morbidity is high as the most parents fail to access WHO-endorsed rapid diagnostic testing (RDT and prompt treatment with artemisinin combination therapy (ACT). Consequently malaria is the principal reason a child misses school; so, we trained teachers to use RDT to evaluate all sick pupils and give ACT promptly to those positive.Aims: Pre, intra and post intervention evaluation of impact of using the WHO Health Promoting School (HPS) model to empower teachers to provide RDT and ACT and engage and inform pupils about malaria in 4 schools in rural Uganda.Methods: Documenting duration of absence from school as a surrogate measure for morbidity and change in children's knowledge and reported behaviors regarding malaria. Pre-intervention (year 1) baseline evaluation of days of absence and children's malaria knowledge/behavior; Intervention (year 2) trained teachers administered RDT in all sick children and treated those positive with ADT; Post-intervention (end of year 3) after schools independently continued RDT/ACT and education on malaria.Results: Pre-intervention <1:5 pupils had basic knowledge about malaria (caused by mosquitos; can be prevented; requires rapid diagnosis and prompt medication). In year 1: 953 of 1764 pupils were sent home due to illness. Mean duration of absence was 6.5 (SD 3.17) school days. In year 2: 1066 of 1774 pupils were sick, all had RDT, 765/1066 (68%) tested positive and received ACT; their duration of absence fell to 0.59 (SD 0.64) school days (p<0.001). By year 2 all children knew the signs and symptoms of malaria and had essential epidemiological knowledge. Twelve months post intervention the universality of this knowledge had been sustained and the whole-school focus on malaria continued. Children reported better health, more consistent attendance and improved academic achievement, and had become proactive in prevention strategies; 6% fewer tested positive for malaria; and key health knowledge was being passed to new pupils.Conclusion: Teacher administered RDT/ACT reduced child morbidity from malaria significantly; essential knowledge was generated and new health practices acquired that changed behaviors. Our WHO HPS model is applicable to other LMICs where malaria is endemic and morbidity high.
