Stress, Nutritional Status and Blood Glucose Levels Among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) was increased significantly. Stress increased cortisol could increase blood glucose levels while obesity could increase insulin resistance. Objective of this study was to examine correlation of stress and nutritional status with blood glucose levels in patients with DM type 2. Design study was cross sectional using 120 samples from patients with DM type 2 at Polyclinic of Internal Disease Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta during April-May 2018. Variables in this study were stress with perceived stress scale 10 items (PSS-10), nutritional status with body mass index (BMI) and blood glucose levels with fasting blood glucose (FBG) and post-prandial blood glucose (PPBG) examination. The results showed that mean of FBG was 152.9±63.66 mg/dL and PPBG was 213.96±70.17 mg/dL. There was no significant correlation between stress and blood glucose levels, by FBG (p=0.389) and PPBG (p=0.202). However, there was significant correlation between nutritional status and PPBG (p=0.016), but FBG was not significant (p=0.209). In conclusion, there was significant correlation between nutritional status and PPBG in patients with DM type 2, but FBG was not significant. However, there was no significant correlation between stress and blood glucose levels in patients with DM type 2

Faktor-faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Pola Pencarian Pengobatan ke Pelayanan Kesehatan Alternatif Pasien Suspek Tuberculosis di Komunitas

Background : Daerah Istimewa Yogykarta (DIY) in TB case detection rate in 2009 reached 52.90 % (target 70 % ). The discovery of TB patients in the health care unit is still passive, so the pattern of health seeking behavior of TB or suspected TB patients is very important to understand. Past research indicates that 43 % of TB suspects to seek treatment in alternative health care. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with treatment seeking patterns of alternative health services to suspected tuberculosis in the community.Methods : This study used a survey method with cross-sectional design. Total study sample using cluster sample of 750 respondents. Respondents were drawn at random by using a quick survey procedures. Analysis of the data used were univariate and bivariate analysis.Results : There were not relationship between gender, education, age and economic status of the search patterns of alternative medicine. It can be seen from the value P value indicates the number of which are smaller than 0.05. Biologically, male gender was a factor suspected tuberculosis protekif pengampilan decision not to take medication. Male sex had 0.708 times the risk than women to go to a pharmacy / drug store. It is shown from the values prevalent Ratio ( RP ) = 0.708 ( with 95 % CI : 0.471 to 1.066 ). Variables of education, age and economic status have values prevalent Ratio ( RP ) > 1 means that the age of the elderly is not necessarily a risk factor for tuberculosis suspects decision to perform alternative medicine.Conclusion : There were not relationship between education, economic status, the sex, and age at treatment seeking patterns to alternative health care

Cognitive Support Increase CD4 Level on Patient with HIV at Kota Kediri

Introduction: HIV still becomes health problem that threaten Indonesia and many countries around the world. When HIV enters the body, it looks for CD4 cells and begins to replicate itself. Once replicated and left the dead CD4, the new viral particles will be looking for and infecting new CD4. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of cognitive supports on CD4 level people living with HIV. Those cognitive supports consist of information, psychological, and spiritual support in order to increase the levels of CD4. Method: This was quasy experiment research with posttest group design. Population were all people living with HIV at Kota Kediri. Samples were 20 respondents who meet the criteria, divided into two groups, intervention and control. The independent variable was cognitive support, while dependent variable was CD4 level of people living with HIV. Blood samples were collected to examine CD4 level. Data were then analyzed by using Anova test and T-test. Result: Results indicated that the cognitive supports had an effect in increasing the levels of absolute CD4 and CD4 percentage of people living with HIV at a signifi cance value of 0.003. However, there was no signifi cant difference between the control groups taking ARV regularly and irregularly. Discussion: The provision ofcognitive support was capable to stimulate the immune system by increasing T lymphocytes that have CD4 molecular markers. Thus, an increase in the levels of CD4 is expected to improve the quality of life of people living with HIV

Studi Karakteristik Biolistrik Minyak Goreng Sawit Kemasan Dengan Metode Dielektrik Pada Frekuensi Rendah

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengamati karakteristik biolistrik pada minyak goreng sawit kemasan dengan menggunakan metode dielektrik. Karakteristik biolistrik yang diamati yaitu konstanta dielektrik. Konstanta dielektrik didapat dari perhitungan nilai kapasitansi yang terukur dari LCR meter GW-instek seri 816 dengan probe ganda L dan H. Metode dielektrik dapat digunakan dalam pengukuran konstanta dielektrik, yaitu dengan cara pengukuran dilakukan secara langsung pada objek (biasanya berupa membran, lapisan, dll) diletakkan pada dua plat kapasitor yang berjarak d yang terbuat dari tembaga. Sampel diletakkan diantara plat tembaga yang berukuran 20×10 mm dengan jarak antar plat sebesar 5 mm. Pengukuran nilai konstanta dielektrik dilakukan pada rentang frekuensi 800 Hz sampai 2000 Hz dengan interval 50 Hz. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode dielektrik dapat digunakan untuk mengukur konstanta dielektrik pada bahan biologis. Nilai konstanta dielektrik minyak goreng sawit kemasan menurun seiring dengan bertambahnya frekuensi. Rentang frekuensi 100 Hz sampai 750 Hz nilai konstanta dielektrik acak, sedangkan pada frekuensi 800 Hz sampai 2000 Hz nilai cenderung menurun secara eksponensial dikarenakan pengaruh dari bahan dielektrik
