Peer group support plays a crucial role in enhancing diabetic foot care. However, diabetic patients often exhibit suboptimal foot care behavior due to a lack of support. This study aimed to explore the correlation between peer group support and foot care practices in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Employing a cross-sectional design, the research focused on diabetes mellitus patients aged 40-55 years, and those with less than five years of diabetes history. A purposive sampling technique was utilized to select 64 participants. The research variables encompassed demographic factors, peer group dynamics, and diabetic foot care behavior. These were assessed through a modified questionnaire, verified for validity and reliability. Data analysis involved descriptive analysis and chi-square analysis. The findings revealed a prevalence of 79.7% for inadequate peer group support and 20.3% for robust support. In terms of diabetic foot care behavior, 56.3% exhibited poor practices, while only 17.2% demonstrated good foot care behavior. All variables displayed significance concerning the dependent variable, with a p-value < 0.003. This underscores the positive impact of peer group support on improving foot care behavior in diabetes mellitus patients. This study highlights the need for further research to delve into the effects of educational interventions and family involvement in enhancing diabetic foot care behavior.

Larva therapy, also known as maggot therapy, biodebridement, or maggot debridement therapy, involved the application of live fly larva to a patient’s wound for debridement, disinfection, and wound healing. Despite its wide application in diabetic foot ulcers, the efficacy of this intervention remains uncertain. This review aimed to examine the benefits of larva therapy in diabetic foot ulcers by conducting systematic review. This systematic review sought relevant articles using MeSH-based keywords in databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and ProQuest. The inclusion criteria for the articles were as follows: population - patients with diabetic foot ulcers, intervention - the use of debridement or therapeutic application of maggot therapy with Lucilia sericata, comparison - none, outcome - the results of articles demonstrating the effectiveness of using Lucilia sericata maggot therapy on diabetic foot ulcers. Article quality assessment was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. Descriptive analysis was performed with a narrative approach, considering articles published from 2018 to 2023. Based on the literature search, 237 articles were found with matching keywords from Scopus (103), PubMed (77), Science Direct (14), and ProQuest (43). After screening for inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 articles were identified for inclusion in this review. These 11 articles indicate that larva therapy can be an effective method in treating diabetic foot ulcers, especially when used correctly and tailored to each patient’s condition and needs. Green bottle fly larva, Lucilia sericata, produce proteolytic enzymes that can assist in wound healing. Larva therapy is effective when combined with other procedures. In clinical practice, it is highly recommended that nurses provide an individualized approach and assess potential side effects.

Cancer is one of the second leading causes of death worldwide. It is estimated that by 2030, cancer incidence could reach 26 million people, and 17 million of them will die because of cancer. Free radicals in the body can cause cancer, so it is very important to consume foods rich in antioxidants, such as black glutinous rice tape and purple sweet potato, because the human body cannot naturally make antioxidants. The study aimed to determine the effect of black sticky rice and purple sweet potato formulations on organoleptic properties (color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall) and the anthocyanin content in sweet purple mochi. The method used a hedonic test to determine the level of liking and UV-VIS spectrophotometry combined with differential pH to determine anthocyanin levels. Thirty participants were students from Nutrition Department, Politeknik Kesehatan Kemenkes Bandung. The results showed significant aroma, taste, and overall p<0.05 differences. F3 was the most preferred formulation, containing 11.2 mg of anthocyanins per 70 gram. There were significant effects and differences in the formulation of black sticky rice tape and purple sweet potato on organoleptic properties (aroma, taste, and overall). The anthocyanin content in the product can fulfill the adequacy of anthocyanins in a day, so this product can be used as a snack to prevent cancer.

Auditory hallucinations have led to decreased productivity, impaired interaction, and diminished well-being in individuals with schizophrenia. However, the challenge lies in enabling patients to independently manage their hallucinations, and one potential approach is through psycho-religious methods utilizing the Qur'an. This study aimed to assess the impact of Qur'anic healing on reducing the frequency of auditory hallucinations in individuals with schizophrenia. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-post-test, this study included 35 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Inclusion criteria stipulated that participants must have a diagnosis of schizophrenia accompanied by auditory hallucinations, coherent thinking, a cooperative attitude, and adherence to the Muslim faith. The Auditory Hallucination Rating Scale (AHRS) served as the instrument for data collection, with analysis conducted using the Wilcoxon test. The findings revealed a significant effect of Qur'anic healing on reducing the frequency of auditory hallucinations, indicated by a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). Qur'anic healing demonstrated effectiveness in alleviating auditory hallucinations among individuals with schizophrenia. We recommend incorporating Qur'anic healing as an additional supportive therapy for schizophrenia patients. Moreover, it is anticipated that listening to Qur'anic healing will enhance the patient's adaptive coping mechanisms.

The appetite experienced by toddlers is at risk of causing nutritional disorders, which can have a negative impact on health, such as stunting. Efforts are being made to overcome toddler appetite issues through innovation in the form of Koya Nate. This research examined the impact of Koya Nate, an innovative intervention, on the appetite of stunted toddlers in Surabaya. Using a quasi-experimental approach with a pre-post design, 16 toddlers aged 1-5 years participated, with 8 in the intervention group and 8 in the control group. The study found a significant influence on the appetite of toddlers in the intervention group after the intervention (Sig. 0.000), while there was no significant change in the control group without intervention (Sig. 0.157). A comparison between the two groups revealed a significant influence on appetite in the intervention group compared to the control group (Sig. 0.000). This suggests that Koya Nate has a positive impact on the appetite of stunted toddlers, addressing issues of picky eating. The study emphasizes the importance of innovative approaches in presenting food menus to toddlers facing appetite-related nutritional challenges. The findings highlight the potential of Koya Nate as an effective intervention for improving the appetite of stunted children, contributing to efforts to combat nutritional disorders and prevent negative health impacts such as stunting.

Primigravida has impacts related to preparedness for the transition into motherhood. Thus, its can disrupt the attachment between the mother and the fetus. This study aimed to determine the effects of prenatal spiritual-based stimulation on maternal-fetal attachment. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a control group and was conducted among primigravida women in Indonesia. The study included 66 respondents selected through purposive sampling. They were divided into the intervention and control groups, each comprising 33 participants. The intervention group received prenatal spiritual-based stimulations, which involved auditory, kinesthetic, light, and temperature stimulations and were administered over a 12-week period. Data on maternal-fetal attachment were collected using the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI), which had been tested for validity and reliability. Approval to use the instrument was obtained from its original author. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests. The results showed that the Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000 or significant differences were observed before and after intervention for the intervention group and 0.059 no significant differences were observed before and after the intervention for the control group. The Mann Whitney test revealed a p-value of 0.000, there were differences in the maternal-fetal attachment before and after the intervention. Therefore, spiritual-based prenatal stimulation is effective in enhancing maternal-fetal attachment. These results can provide a basis for pregnant women to apply spiritual-based prenatal stimulation interventions to enhance maternal-fetal attachment and health status.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was essential for nurses to possess the necessary skills and expertise to provide care for patients in isolation wards designated for COVID-19 cases. This recognition of a nurse's experience could serve as a basis for establishing more precise competency standards for staff working in COVID-19 isolation wards. This study aimed to explore the experience of nurses with the competencies needed to care for COVID-19 patients in the isolation ward. The research design used was a phenomenological design as outlined by van Manen's phenomenological of practice. In-depth interviews were conducted using semi-structured questions involving six nurses in the COVID-19 isolation ward at Lumajang District Hospital. This study found seven major themes, namely nurses must have altruistic thinking, critical thinking to solve problems, the ability to work with teams, problem-solving thinking, the ability to handle emergency situations, have a caring attitude, and have the motivation to learn. The competence of nurses in the COVID-19 isolation ward should be established on a foundation of both hard and soft skills, which are essential for a nurse to deliver optimal care to COVID-19 patients. Efforts aimed at enhancing nurses' competencies should take precedence, enabling them to provide improved care and assist in addressing the ongoing public health challenges.

Adipose tissue, composed of adipocyte cells, can become problematic due to an increase in cell number (hyperplasia) and size (hypertrophy). To address this concern, interventions are needed to reduce these probabilities. Near Infrared (NIR) is an electromagnetic wave that affects tissues by being absorbed and penetrating them. NIR can induce cell death (necrosis or apoptosis), where cells respond to external factors causing tissue damage. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of near-infrared rays on the decrease in the number of adipocyte cells using the flow cytometry method. This study, conducted in vitro using adipocyte cell cultures isolated from rat visceral adipose tissue, explores the effects of NIR exposure at various distances (1 cm, 2 cm, and 3 cm) for 20 minutes. Adipocyte cells were stained and examined using Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and the percentage of cells was determined by flow cytometry. Statistical analyses were performed using One Way ANOVA and Duncan test. Significant differences (p-value < 0.05) were observed, and the Duncan test revealed variations in the percentage of living cells among control and treatment groups. The data indicated that exposure to high NIR energy with low wavelengths penetrated adipocyte cells, leading to a decrease in the percentage of cells and notable changes in cell morphology. Flow cytometry results demonstrated differences in live cell percentages, with group 2 (exposed at 2 cm for 20 minutes) being more effective, showing lower percentages of live cells. This research suggests that NIR exposure has an impact on adipocyte cell cultures, emphasizing its potential in influencing adipocyte cell behavior.

NIR can induce cell death (necrosis or apoptosis), where cells respond to external factors causing tissue damage. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of near-infrared rays on the decrease in the number of adipocyte cells using the flow cytometry method. This study, conducted in vitro using adipocyte cell cultures isolated from rat visceral adipose tissue, explores the effects of NIR exposure at various distances (1 cm, 2 cm, and 3 cm) for 20 minutes. Adipocyte cells were stained and examined using Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and the percentage of cells was determined by flow cytometry. Statistical analyses were performed using One Way ANOVA and Duncan test. Significant differences (p-value < 0.05) were observed, and the Duncan test revealed variations in the percentage of living cells among control and treatment groups. The data indicated that exposure to high NIR energy with low wavelengths penetrated adipocyte cells, leading to a decrease in the percentage of cells and notable changes in cell morphology. Flow cytometry results demonstrated differences in live cell percentages, with group 2 (exposed at 2 cm for 20 minutes) being more effective, showing lower percentages of live cells. This research suggests that NIR exposure has an impact on adipocyte cell cultures, emphasizing its potential in influencing adipocyte cell behavior.","PeriodicalId":507714,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Low-resource Settings","volume":"116 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139616098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that by 2030, diabetes mellitus would become the 7th leading cause of death. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that causes various complications, one of which is peripheral neuropathy. Preventive efforts for peripheral neuropathy involve conducting detection examinations. The purpose of this study was to analyze nerve damage in peripheral neuropathy cases using the MNSI (Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument) and MDNS (Michigan Diabetic Neuropathy Score) instruments. The study employed a cross-sectional study approach with a sample of 50 people, using total sampling as the sampling technique. The independent variable in this study was nerve damage, and the dependent variable was peripheral neuropathy. Data collection in the study was carried out using the MNSI and MDNS instruments to link the dependent and independent variables. Hypothesis analysis in this study was conducted using the Spearman's rho correlation test. The study found that autonomic, sensory, and motor damage correlated with peripheral neuropathy, with a P-value of < 0.05. Examinations in the feet of diabetics were significantly related to the level of peripheral neuropathy. However, there was no evidence of a correlation between the characteristics of the respondents and the incidence of peripheral neuropathy. The results of the nerve damage examination demonstrated a correlation between different types of damage, and the MNSI and MDNS instruments proved effective in detecting peripheral neuropathy damage. Future research should focus on more in-depth studies to explore the correlation of nerve damage in patients with diabetes mellitus detected at a young age and consider other variables, such as HbA1c levels, as potential risk factors for peripheral neuropathy.
