Peran Bank Wakaf Mikro dalam Meningkatkan Kesejahteraan Masyarakat di Papua: Pendekatan Maqshid Syariah

This study aims to analyze the Accountability of the management based on Sharia Enterprise Theory at Islamic Boarding School-based Micro Waqf Banks in Jombang. This research uses the field research type and a descriptive qualitative approach—data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the Islamic Boarding School-based Micro Waqf Bank in Jombang has implemented accountability indicators based on Sharia Enterprise Theory, namely vertical Accountability to Allah SWT and Horizontal Accountability to customers by having DPS that is MUI certified and there are no transactions that are not by Sharia. However, Micro Waqf Banks still need to fulfill horizontal Accountability to customers on the ZIS Report indicators. Micro Waqf Banks have fulfilled Horizontal Accountability for employees with employee education and training. However, the Micro Waqf Bank has not met the salary and remuneration for employees according to the minimum wage and does not have special programs to improve employee spirituality. Micro Waqf Banks have fulfilled Horizontal Accountability to the community/society through broad community access to Micro Waqf Bank financing and contributions to MSME Development and improving the community's quality of life through economic empowerment. However, the Micro Waqf Bank does not yet have disclosure of social funds. Micro Waqf Banks have fulfilled Horizontal Accountability towards indirect stakeholders, namely nature/environment with household-scale customers, so it is less likely to pollute the environment.

The associations between quality of life and clinical symptoms in individuals with an at-risk mental state and first-episode psychosis

Systematic review and meta-analysis. The objective was to summarize the effectiveness of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) on the quality of life in individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). An online systematic literature search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, PubMed CENTRAL, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, SciELO, CINAHL/SPORTDiscus, and PsycINFO. Randomized and non-randomized clinical studies investigating the effectiveness of IMT in quality of life were included in the present study. The results used the mean difference and 95% confidence interval for maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), and the standardized mean differences for the quality of life and maximum ventilation volume. The search found 232 papers, and after the screening, four studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analytical procedures (n = 150 participants). No changes were demonstrated in the quality of life domains (general health, physical function, mental health, vitality, social function, emotional problem, and pain) after IMT. The IMT provided a considerable effect over the MIP but not on FEV1 and MEP. Conversely, it was not able to provide changes in any of the quality of life domains. None of the included studies evaluated the IMT effects on the expiratory muscle maximal expiratory pressure. Evidence from studies shows that inspiratory muscle training improves the MIP; however, this effect does not seem to translate to any change in the quality of life or respiratory function outcomes in individuals with SCI.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of mortality globally. The quality of life of CHD patients is not only influenced by physical conditions, but also by psychological, spiritual, and self-care behaviors. Investigate the relationship between spiritual well-being and self-care with quality of life in coronary heart disease patients in the hospital. This study used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 93 coronary heart disease (CHD) patients receiving outpatient care at Gunung Jati Cirebon City Regional Hospital were selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used were the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), the Self-Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory (SC-CHDI), and the SF-36 Health Survey to measure quality of life. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. There was a significant positive relationship between spiritual well-being and quality of life (r = 0.56; p < 0.001), as well as between self-care and quality of life (r = 0.64; p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that both spiritual well-being and self-care significantly influenced quality of life (R² = 0.72; p < 0.001), indicating that these factors together explained 72% of the variance in quality of life among CHD patients. Notably, self-care emerged as the stronger predictor. These findings highlight the critical role of both spirituality and self-care in enhancing patients’ well-being. Integrating spiritual support and self-care education into nursing practice is recommended to improve the quality of life in individuals with coronary heart disease.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of laughter yoga on the quality of life and sleep quality in individuals with fecal ostomies. This was randomized controlled trial. The sample comprised 55 individuals with an ostomy who received care at Ankara University's I˙bni Sina Hospital Stoma Therapy Unit in Ankara, Turkey. Data were collected over a 2-month period (January and February 2020). Participants were allocated into an intervention group (n = 27) who received a yoga therapy intervention and a control group (n = 28) who received no intervention via simple randomization. Demographic and pertinent clinical variables were obtained during a baseline visit in both groups, along with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Stoma-Quality of Life (Stoma-QOL) instruments. The intervention group received laughter yoga weekly over a period of 8 weeks. Mean scores on the PSQI and the Stoma-QOL at baseline were compared. Participants in the intervention had a significant decline in mean PSQI scores (6.85 vs 5.48, P = .044) indicating improvement in sleep quality following the intervention. Analysis revealed no significant difference in mean Stoma-QOL scores (P = .077). Control group participants had no significant difference in either mean PSQI or Stoma-QOL scores following data collection at the end of 8 weeks. Laughter yoga had a positive effect on the sleep quality in individuals with fecal ostomies. Further research is recommended to evaluate the effect of the number of laughter yoga sessions on the sleep quality and quality of life in individuals with ostomies.

The current cross-sectional correlational study aimed to determine the relationship of medication adherence with functionality and quality of life in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD). The research was conducted with 141 individuals with BD followed as outpatients. Data were collected using an information form, Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS), Quality of Life in Bipolar Disorder Scale (QoL.BD), and Bipolar Disorder Functioning Questionnaire (BDFQ). A significant positive correlation was found between participants' MMAS total score and QoL.BD (p < 0.001) and BDFQ (p < 0.05) scores. A significant positive correlation was also found between QoL.BD and BDFQ scores (p < 0.001). Medication compliance positively affects quality of life and social functionality in individuals with BD. Thus, interventions to increase medication adherence are recommended. [Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 63(3), 27-35.].

Background: This cross-sectional study assessed both family and individual quality of life (QOL), and their association with self-esteem, optimism, chronic psychological stress, anxiety, and depression in parents of children with chronic conditions. Methods: Parents of children with Down syndrome (DS), autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), cerebral palsy (CP), diabetes mellitus type 1 (DMT1), and parents of children without chronic diseases with typical development (TD) were included. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to assess parental characteristics associated with the domains of individual and family QOL. Results: Compared to the parents of TD children, parents of children with ASD and DS were more likely to report reduced family QOL in all domains, while parents of children with DMT1 had lower parental perception. Self-esteem was positively associated with all domains of individual QOL, while optimism was associated with the overall individual QOL perception and health. Higher stress perception was negatively associated with most of the domains of individual and family QOL. Conclusions: This study confirmed that parents of children with chronic conditions are more likely to have lower perception of both individual and family QOL, which were associated with self-esteem, chronic stress, anxiety, and depression. Interventions should focus not only on the child with a chronic condition but on parents too.

There is substantial literature investigating quality of life (QoL) of individuals with intellectual disability (ID). QoL of families of people with ID is emerging as an important field of research. Despite this, there is a lack of studies regarding their relationship. The present paper aimed to study the relationship between QoL scores of individuals with ID and members of their families. Twenty-seven parents or relatives of 27 adults with ID were recruited by four different research centres across Tuscany (Italy) to be interviewed through the Italian adaptation of the Family Quality of Life Survey - 2006 (FQoLS-2006), a tool developed for use in a multiple-country study on family QoL. The FQoLS-2006 was translated and adapted to Italian through three revisions. The last was submitted to the authors of the original version, who also maintain an electronic data file and data archive for statistical evaluations in various countries. QoL of persons with ID was assessed through the administration of the Quality of Life - Instrument Package. QoL scores were analysed to describe population characteristics and to examine the relationships among measures of individual and family QoL using correlations (Pearson and Spearman). Findings showed that family ratings of QoL were generally low. Families interviewed reported a low level of QoL in 'Support from Others' and 'Community Interaction', while 'Family Relationships' and 'Health of the Family' rated higher. For individual QoL, individuals had the lowest scores in the area of 'Spiritual being' and higher scores in the area of 'Physical being'. Correlations examining possible relationships among Importance, Satisfaction and Opportunities found some statistically significant correlation coefficients between some aspects of the three main areas of individual QoL (Being, Belonging and Becoming) and the nine family domains. Most of these correlations regarded family 'Financial Well-Being', 'Family Relationships, 'Support from Service' and 'Support from Others' areas. The results of this study suggest that QoL is perceived somewhat differently by individuals with ID and by members of their families. This difference could negatively impact QoL of people with ID, if their views are not taken into account when planning for family support. The relationships between individual and family QoL appear to be quite complex, and such complexity needs to be clarified in future research.

Fulfilling household needs for a woman is required to be able to obtain and manage halal-sourced finances from a small and micro-entrepreneur. The trap of conventional and online loan sharks poses a significant risk to the borrower's assets due to the lack of business capital they have in the short term. Establishing a micro waqf bank initiated by the financial services authority in Indonesia aims to provide business financing, assistance and financing sourced from zakat, infaq, sadaqah and waqf relying on Islamic social microfinance institutions. This study aims to analyse micro waqf bank woman customers with small and micro-entrepreneurs to avoid entrapment by a loan shark. The study at the El-Manahij Micro Waqf Bank, Lebak Regency, Banten Province, Indonesia, used qualitative descriptive types through data collection interviews with managers and the head in weekly halaqah. In contrast, data analysis used triangulation: data reduction, display, verification and conclusion. Research shows that most micro waqf bank customers are women with micro-scale enterprises to improve Islamic economy studies. Customers choose micro waqf banks to replace loan sharks providing their business capital and having regular activities in the form of weekly group meetings aimed at knowing business progress, religious studies and gradual loan repayments. Micro waqf bank managers receive pawned valuables with sharia contracts to increase business capital. The customers are responsible for repaying business loans in stages, running social gatherings for customers to obtain excess money and supervising fellow customers. The research implies that getting away from the snares of loan sharks can minimise the burden of living costs where they live. The significant role of micro waqf banks in providing Sharia pawn support is to increase business capital to limit dealing with loan sharks.

Objective: Little is known about the effects of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on quality of life and social participation in individuals with traumatic brain injury. We aimed to compare social participation and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a sample of individuals with TBI before and during the second wave of COVID-19 and explored the relationships between the perceived impacts of COVID-19, social participation, and HRQoL.Patients and methods: Eighteen individuals with traumatic brain injury with a mean (standard deviation) age of 47.7 (17.0) years at 48.2 (10.5) months post-injury were administered a questionnaire on overall disability and participation (Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory-4th edition; MPAI-4), HRQoL (Quality of Life after Brain Injury Questionnaire; QOLIBRI), and the Coronavirus Impacts Questionnaire before and during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic at an interval of 6.4 (SD = 8.2) months. Results: Compared with pre-pandemic levels, individuals with traumatic brain injury reported a statistically significant decrease in the QOLI-BRI total score and its emotional subscale (with medium to large effect sizes), but without statistically significant differences in MPAI-4 scores. Increased difficulties with access to resources during COVID-19 were associated with increased adjustment problems on the MPAI-4, and with daily life and autonomy difficulties, emotional issues, and lower physical functioning on the QOLIBRI. Conclusion: The relationships identified in this exploratory correlational study suggest that COVID-19 had a negative impact on quality of life in individuals with traumatic brain injury, but not specifically on their social participation. LAY ABSTRACTLittle is known about the effects of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the lives of individuals with traumatic brain injury. This study compared social participation and health-related quality of life in individuals with TBI before and during the second wave of COVID-19 and explored relationships between the perceived impacts of COVID-19, social participation, and health-related quality of life, but not specifically on social participation in individuals with traumatic brain injury. Also, increased difficulties with access to resources during COVID-19 were associated with increased adjustment problems, daily life and autonomy difficulties, emotional issues, and lower physical functioning.

Subjective quality of life is a clinically relevant outcome that is strongly associated with the severity of clinical symptoms in individuals with ultra-high risk for psychosis and patients with recent-onset psychotic disorder. Our objective was to examine whether longitudinal changes in clinical symptoms are associated with quality of life in ultra-high risk individuals and patients with recent-onset psychotic disorder. Individuals with ultra-high risk and patients with recent-onset psychosis disorder were recruited in the same clinical settings at baseline and were followed up with more than 6 months and less than 5 years later. We assessed five factors of clinical symptoms using the positive and negative syndrome scale, and quality of life using the World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire-short form. We used multiple regression to examine the relationships between clinical symptoms and quality of life while controlling for diagnosis, follow-up period, age, and sex. Data were collected from 22 individuals with ultra-high risk and 27 patients with recent-onset psychosis disorder. The multiple regression analysis results indicated that the more severe anxiety/depression was at baseline, the poorer the quality of life at follow-up. Further, improvement of anxiety/depression and disorganized thoughts were associated with improvement in quality of life. The difference in diagnosis did not affect the association between clinical symptoms and quality of life. These findings suggest that the improvement of anxiety/depression and disorganized thoughts is important in the early stages of psychosis before it becomes severe, affecting the quality of life.

Introduction: The latest research on quality of life in Parkinson's patients has emphasized the importance of a comprehensive approach to the care of these individuals. In addition to motor symptoms, non-motor aspects such as sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, cognitive changes and communication difficulties play a crucial role in the general health and well-being of these patients. Objective: Analyze and synthesize the available evidence on the quality of life and health profile in individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Methods: This study constitutes a systematic review, classified as exploratory and descriptive. The preparation of the research was a bibliographical search in electronic databases on methods associated with RSL (Systematic Literature Review) and the applications of SMARTER (Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique using Exploiting Rankings). The study methodology is a systematic, exploratory and descriptive review, using qualitative and quantitative methods. The bibliographic search covered several databases, with well-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis was conducted by three independent researchers. Results and discussion: The results revealed 1659 articles, 18 of which were included in the review. The discussion of the findings of the current article can be enriched by a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature that explores various facets of quality of life (QoL) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Several studies have investigated different dimensions, providing insights into the factors that influence QoL in PD patients. Conclusion: The findings gathered emphasize the importance of a comprehensive and personalized approach in the treatment of PD, considering not only motor symptoms, but also psychosocial and nutritional aspects and the external context. This integrated approach can serve as a basis for developing more effective strategies to improve QoL in individuals with PD and provide more comprehensive and adaptable support throughout the course of the disease.

This research assessed the relationship between hearing aid usage and quality of life in individuals with hearing impairment, exploring associated demographic and clinical factors. Data from 500 individuals at a tertiary care facility were collected over a year through medical records and an online questionnaire. Quality of life was gauged using WHOQOL-BREF and HHIE. Multiple linear regression analysed the correlation between hearing aid usage and quality of life, adjusting for age, gender, hearing loss severity, and socioeconomic factors. Descriptive statistics showed varying degrees of hearing impairment, socioeconomic status, hearing aid usage, and quality-of-life scores. Bivariate analyses found significant correlations between hearing impairment level, socioeconomic status, hearing aid usage, and quality of life. Linear regression highlighted a positive relationship between daily hearing aid usage duration and quality-of-life scores, even after adjusting for covariates. Variations in quality-of-life ratings were observed between hearing aid users and non-users, spanning different hearing loss levels and socioeconomic statuses. Subgroup analysis showed a positive correlation between hearing aid use and quality of life across age groups. The study confirms the positive influence of hearing aids on the quality of life in hearing-impaired individuals, emphasizing the benefits of consistent use. Further studies should probe the specific domains and long-term adherence impacts. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-023-04297-w.

Background: Aging can result in hearing loss, and cochlear implants (CIs) provide an effective means for auditory rehabilitation. We evaluated the impact of age on CI outcomes. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of aging on auditory performance and quality of life in individuals who underwent unilateral cochlear implantation. Research Design: This study was designed as a cross-sectional study. Study Sample: Participants included individuals with postlingual, profound sensorineural hearing loss who had undergone unilateral cochlear implantation. Two groups were formed: those aged 40&amp;#8211;59&amp;#8201;years (Group 1) and those aged &amp;#x2265;60&amp;#8201;years (Group 2). There were 31 participants in Group 1 and 33 participants in Group 2, totaling 64 participants (30 women [46.88 percent] and 34 men [53.13 percent]). Intervention: Quality of life was measured using the Turkish version of The World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), and depression levels were assessed using Beck&amp;#8217;s Depression Inventory. To assess auditory performance, free-field audiometry included pure-tone threshold at 0.5&amp;#8211;4 kHz, speech recognition threshold, speech discrimination, and spectral&amp;#8211;temporally modulated ripple test measurements. Data Collection and Analysis: The Shapiro&amp;#8211;Wilk test was used to assess the normality of the numerical variables. The Mann&amp;#8211;Whitney U test was used to compare WHOQOL-BREF scores and auditory performance between groups, and the chi-square test was used for categorical variables. Relationships between numerical variables were assessed using Spearman&amp;#8217;s correlation coefficient. Results: The older group exhibited significantly poorer auditory performance and quality of life scores across multiple dimensions (p &amp;#x003C; 0.05). However, no significant differences in depression levels were observed between the groups (p &amp;#61; 0.198). Conclusions: Age considerably influences auditory performance and quality of life in CI users. These findings underscore the importance of tailored rehabilitation approaches for this population. Clinical Relevance Statement: The results of this study show that aging negatively affects the auditory performance and quality of life of CI users. Moreover, CI alone is insufficient to fully improve quality of life in older individuals, highlighting the need for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to address aging-related neurological and sensory changes.

Objectives: Several studies indicate that limb amputations have a negative influence in the quality of life of those individuals who underwent amputation surgery. The aims of this study were to evaluate the quality of life in Mexican individuals with limb amputations compared with a control group, to identify demographic and clinical differences related to the etiology of the amputation, and to determine if they are associated with the quality of life observed in these patients. Methods: All participants were recruited from the Hospital “Dr Gustavo A. Rovirosa Pérez”. The quality of life of all participants was evaluated using SF-36. Results: Individuals with amputations of vascular or trauma etiology, showed a diminished health-related quality of life when compared with the control group (p < .001). We observed that individuals with amputations due to trauma were younger, mostly single, with more upper limb amputations and with a shorter period since amputation at the current assessment in comparison to individuals with amputations. Conclusions: Although limb amputation represents a surgical procedure necessary to preserve the life of a person, our results support that it negatively impacts the health-related quality of life of these individuals. Regardless of the etiology of the amputation, rehabilitation programs are primarily focused on reintegrating individuals to their everyday life. However, these programs may have poor results when patients have a poor quality of life. Therefore, quality of life assessment and early inclusion in programs that aim to improve the quality of life of individuals with amputations should be always taken into consideration.
