Hydrotherapy is a method of treatment and healing using water. In this case the nurse

encourages the patient to increase fluid intake orally and monitor fluid status by

consuming water to help the process of removing all toxins in the body, including

excess sugar. Purpose: to determine whether there is an effect of hydrotherapy (drinking

water) on reducing blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This

research method is literature review to the method of collecting library data. The data is

obtained from previous research. The results of research on 10 database-based journal

research articles show that there is an effect of hydrotherapy (drinking water) on

reducing blood sugar levels in people with diabetes mellitus as many as 9 journals

significantly, and only 1 journal has no significant effect but shows a decrease in

average blood sugar from before intervention and after intervention. Conclusion: 9

Journals (90%) There is an effect of giving hydrotherapy to decrease blood sugar levels,

P-Value is significant < 0.05 and 1 Journal (1%) there is no effect of giving

hydrotherapy to decrease in blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus P Value

> 0.05.

In 2019, approximately 301 million people worldwide lived with anxiety disorders, and

280 million people lived with depression. According to research conducted by the

Center for Reproductive Health et al. (2022), anxiety disorders (26.7%) are the most

prevalent mental health disorders experienced by adolescents, affecting both boys

(25.4%) and girls (28.2%) in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness

of classical music therapy in reducing anxiety among final-year public health students in

2023. The sample size for this research was 32 respondents. The research method used

was a quasi-experimental design employing a non-equivalent control group design, with

accidental sampling as the sampling technique. The pre-test and post-test results for the

control group showed a p-value of 0.232, which means it is more significant than 0.05,

indicating no effect. In contrast, the pre-test and post-test results for the experimental

group displayed a p-value of 0.027, which is less than 0.05, indicating a significant

impact. Thus, there was a difference in anxiety levels after applying classical music

therapy among final-year public health students facing their final projects at Indonesia

Maju University in 2023. In conclusion, classical music therapy is effective in reducing

anxiety. Therefore, classical music therapy is expected to be one of the alternative

methods for reducing stress, not only when completing final projects but also in other

situations.

Self-Efficacy with Anxiety Levels of Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Hospital Care Settings

Fri, 10 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Clients with diabetes mellitus often experience anxiety in taking medication. This can

interfere with the treatment process, reducing the mechanism of the treatment being

carried out. This study aims to analyze the relationship between client self-efficacy and

anxiety levels when taking treatment at the hospital. This study uses a quantitative

design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study consisted of 133

respondents, and the sampling technique used was consecutive sampling. Data

collection used the DMSES (Diabetes et al.) and HADS (Hospital Anxiety and

Depression Scale) questionnaires. The results showed that the p-value = 0.001 and r = -

0.693. This indicates that there is a relationship between self-efficacy and the level of

anxiety of patients with diabetes mellitus and has a negative correlation; namely, the

higher the self-efficacy, the lower the anxiety level of the respondents. It is hoped that

these results can serve as a record for both patients and health workers so that they pay

more attention to each other's health and so that health workers, especially nurses, are

expected to be able to assess the level of anxiety experienced by patients with Diabetes

Mellitus.

of learning in the health sector, and it plays an active role in realizing public health. One

effort to eradicate malaria is clean and healthy living behavior. This research analyzes

the relationship between Healthy, Clean-Living Behavior and malaria incidence.

Systematic Review (PRISMA) is used. All articles that pass the selection are then

reviewed and summarized based on the purpose, author name, year published,

instruments used, research results, and suggestions for further research. The results of

this literature research aim to implement healthy and clean-living habits to avoid

environments that cause malaria. It is also more optimal to build a clean environment by

implementing clean and healthy living behaviors, which will ultimately have a good

effect on health. Malaria is one of the infectious diseases that is still a public health

problem in the world, including Indonesia.
