Introduction: The increased quantities of inflammatory biomarkers such as C-Reactive Proteins (CRP), Tumour Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) have been reported to be associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, brown rice is an alternative dietary food source that is known to have many health benefits including high fibre content. In addition to fibre, brown rice is also reported to have moderate amounts of proteins, unsaturated lipids, several minerals, and a lot of bioactive substances that are highly beneficial to health. This study aims to prove the role of brown rice dietary intervention in the reduction of inflammatory biomarkers in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Design and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a post-test conducted on 18 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the intervention phase I, all type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were given brown rice diet for 3 months and followed by a phase II intervention, in which white rice diet was given to the other group of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients for 3 months. Serum was collected at the end of each intervention stage and then serum for Tumour Necrosis Factor-α, Interleukin-6 and C-Reactive Proteins were analysed by the ELISA method. Statistical analysis of the t-test was conducted in order to determine the differences between the two groups allocated in the study. Results: At the end of the study, it was found that the levels of C-Reactive Protein, Tumour Necrosis Factor-α, and Interleukin-6 after the brown rice intervention was given to type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, it showed a decreasing trend compared to the white rice intervention although not significantly different (p = 0.6, p = 0.63, p = 0.59, respectively). Conclusions: This study concluded that the administration of brown rice dietary intervention to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for 3 months was able to reduce Tumour Necrosis Factor-α, C-Reactive Proteins, and Interleukin-6 however, the reduction was not significant to influence policy change.

Introduction: Omega-3 fatty acids were found to be effective in reducing inflammation and free radicals caused by air pollution (cigarette smoke), as well as improving lung function. Furthermore, economic conditions can influence a person's food consumption habits. The type of food consumed will certainly affect the amount of omega-3 absorbed by the body, and the quality of food consumed is influenced by socioeconomic status (SES). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine omega-3 intake and its relationship with the socioeconomic status of online motorcycle drivers. Design and Methods: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional method of measuring omega-3 consumption using a 24-hour food recall questionnaire and assessing the mean of omega-3 intake after 3 days. The was conducted from May-August 2020, in Kali Rungkut, Surabaya City, and the subjects were online motorcycle drivers. A Chi-square test was used to assess the relationship between omega-3 intake and SES (income and education). Results: There were 49 respondents in this study with most of them having a classification of omega-3 intake at the deficit level (57.14%), and none belonging to the good and more level. There was a significant difference in omega-3 intake on income (p=0.000) and education (p=0.000). Conclusions: Income and education must be prioritized to improve a healthy diet that includes omega-3.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major shift in the healthcare delivery system. With the limited personal protection equipment and a nursing service shortage caused ineffective nursing care delivered to COVID-19 patients. Wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE) hinders nurse-patients communication and inhibiting the achievement of treatment goals. This study aims to examine the effect of a ‘COVID Nurse Assistant’ (CNA) application on patient satisfaction in COVID-19 isolation rooms. Design and Methods: This was a comparative study with an experimental and control group design. The participants were patients confirmed positive with COVID-19 receiving care in an isolation room for at least three days and were fully conscious. The intervention used was accessing health information related to COVID-19 through a mobile-friendly application namely-‘COVID Nurse Assistant’. The instrument used was the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18) translated into Bahasa Indonesia. In addition, an independent t-Test was used to perform statistical analysis. Results and Discussions: A total 158 respondents completed the online survey among of 219 eligible patients (72% response rate). The score in the general and financial satisfaction sub-scales reported by patients in the experimental group were significantly different from the control with p-values of 0.032 and 0.018 respectively. However, other subscales were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: The implementation of the CNA online application has noteworthy implications on patient satisfaction. However, further studies examining similar system in different clinical areas would provide better information for the optimal use of technology in patient education.

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is associated with changes that occur in the peripheral circulation that affect foot functions. Therefore, there is a need for a risk prediction test on foot abnormalities using the leg pain response parameters in T2DM patients with ankle-brachial index (ABI) and peripheral sensory changes as a preventive effort to manage foot care. Design and Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design in which 63 T2DM patients in a Public Health Center (PHC) in Malang were investigated. The instruments used include visual analog scale (VAS), monofilament, and foot doppler. Results: The Pearson correlation test showed no relationship between the responses to leg pain and the ABI of the right and left feet (p-values = 0.217 and 0.692), but there was a significant relationship between the left foot ABI and sensory status (p-value 0.002; left foot r = 0.383). Meanwhile, the Pearson's correlation and linear regression test also showed a relationship between the right foot ABI and sensory status (p-value = 0.007; r = 0.338). Furthermore, a multiple linear regression test showed a relationship between the leg pain response and sensory perception of the right and left feet (p-value = 0.035; r = 0.325). Conclusions: The relationship between the sensory status of the right and left feet and the response to leg pain in T2DM patients were moderate with a negative direction. It, therefore, implies that a decrease in the sensory responses increased the leg pain. Meanwhile, the moderate relationship and positive direction between the ABI and sensory status of the feet of T2DM patients indicates that a higher ABI score led to an increase in the sensory status of the foot.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a world health problem that causes the third-largest death after cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. One of the causes of transmission of environmental factors is controlling the mobilization of individuals suffering from tuberculosis. This research aims to develop a strategic model of finding new TB cases based on region. Method: This descriptive research utilizes primary and secondary data. Variables consist of geographical and demographic characteristics, resources, tuberculosis prevalence, and indicators of tuberculosis response processes. The TB management planning model document is based on the experiences of health centers Perak Timur, Wonokromo, and Siwalankerto in maximizing TB case detection. Results: The management model outlines policies and procedures based on the variables. For example, the detection of new TB patients became a priority at the health center in Perak Timur. In contrast, the health center in Wonokromo focused on developing cadres and private practice physicians. Conclusions: This research provides an overview of the aspects that need attention and improvement by discovering different new cases in each region.

Introduction: The provision of humanistic and professional nursing care services needs to be carried out comprehensively, and it must cover patients’ bio-psycho-socio-spiritual aspects. This indicates nurses have to integrate all the basic nursing science, including physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, and pathophysiology, while carrying out their duties. This integration helps to provide the best care for their patients, but they often uncertain about the basic science approach to use. Therefore, this study aimsto explore the experience of nurses using basic nursing science in caring for patients with chronic diseases. Design and Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 5 nurses working in chronic disease wards for at least 5 years. Each respondent was then interviewed using a self-constructed questionnaire. Results: All respondents agreed that basic nursing science is important in providing quality healthcare services. Furthermore, six themes were identified using the thematic analysis, namely (1) the process of collecting patient data, which was more focused and organized; (2) required for establishing the nursing diagnosis; (3) useful for determining the nursing care plan; (4) it is a basis for implementing nursing actions; (5) provides a basis for monitoring and follow-up; (6) and teamwork between health personnel is more effective. Conclusions: Based on the interview results, nurses need knowledge and skills in basic nursing science while caring for patients with chronic diseases. Furthermore, basic nursing sciences lay the foundation for nurses while assessing patients, diagnosing, planning the care, implementing nursing actions, evaluating patients’ condition, and collaborating with other health personnel.

Introduction: It is important to reduce the high incidence of anemia in pregnancy globally. Pregnant women need the support of their families to face any difficulties in order to prevent anemia. Design and Methods: This study aims to determine the correlation between family role and anemia prevention in pregnancy. This cross-sectional study was conducted in August 2021 among 60 pregnant women who went for check-ups at two primary healthcare centers in Surabaya, Indonesia, and received iron supplements. Additionally, it was discovered that family role andanemia prevention in pregnancy were evaluated using questionnaires. Result: The Spearman test was used as a test for significance and the results showed that there was a correlation between family role and anemia prevention in pregnancy (r = 0.318; P = 0.013). Also, it was found that informational, emotional, and affirmational support, as well as having a role model were significantly correlated with anemia prevention at (r = 0.311; p = 0.015), (r = 0.265; p = 0.041), (r = 0.400; p = 0.002), and (r = 0.353; p = 0.006), respectively. Conclusions: There was a relationship between family role and anemia prevention in pregnancy, as well as adequate nutrition, adherence to iron supplements, and prevention of worms. Therefore, there is the need for health promotion to the families of pregnant women in order to increase the understanding of anemia prevention in pregnancy.

Introduction: The health status of a patient is strongly influenced by the family members because they play an important role during the health care process, and in healthy living. This implies that they must be involved in decision-making and therapeutic actions at every stage of the treatment. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between family support and the health status of diabetes mellitus patients in Malang. Design and Methods: This study used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach, which was carried out by filling questionnaires to determine the relationship between family support and the health status of diabetes mellitus patients. The sample population consists of 327 diabetes mellitus patients and 327 family caregivers of patients with the disease. Meanwhile, the respondents were selected through a cluster random sampling technique. Results: The results showed that 62.7% of the caregivers provided a good family support, while 90.8% of the patients have a good health status. This indicates that there is a positive correlation between family support and the health status of people with the disease (p-value= 0,000, α<0.05, r= 0,400). Conclusions: Further studies are advised to explore the use of nursing interventions as an effort to maintain and improve the ability of families in providing long-term care for members with diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: During the transitional period of reproductive function development, adolescents require special attention, one of which is menstrual hygiene management (MHM). Teenagers dealing with menstruation have little information and understanding due to the taboo assumption of being more comfortable communicating with peers. Therefore, this study aims to explain the relationship between knowledge and peer support with MHM in adolescent girls. Design and Methods: This study adopted a correlational descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach and 122 students in apublic Junior High School in East Java were selected using proportional simple random sampling. Furthermore, the questionnaire was adopted as the study instrument to measure the variables of knowledge level, peer support, and MHM. Data were then analyzed using Spearman Rho Test with a significance level of p<0.005. Results: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge (p = 0.000 r = 0.619 and peer support (p = 0.000 r = 0.534) with MHM in adolescent girls. Conclusions: Adolescent girls with adequate knowledge and peer support have better MHM. Therefore, information and education about MHM are recommended for adolescents.
