Mencegah kekambuhan pada pecandu narkoba: Bagaimana peranan craving dan dukungan keluarga?

Previous research data shows that drug users who have undergone rehabilitation can still experience relapse, so research that identifies factors that cause relapse is essential. This study aims to examine the relationship between craving and family support with the tendency to relapse. The research participants were 97 drug addicts undergoing rehabilitation at several rehabilitation institutions in Surabaya and Gresik. The research scale was compiled by the researcher himself, consisting of a relapse scale (α = 0.935), which refers to the theory of Gorski and Miller, a craving scale (α = 0.899), which refers to Drummond's theory, and a family support scale (α = 0.949) which refers to Friedman's theory. The research data were analyzed using multiple regression tests. The results of the partial test showed that the higher the craving in people with an addiction who had undergone rehabilitation, the higher their tendency to relapse. However, the results of the partial test also proved that solid family support made the tendency to relapse lower. The results of the study simultaneously also showed that craving and family support were predictors of the tendency to relapse in drug addicts after rehabilitation. These findings are expected to broaden understanding of clinical psychology and provide practical guidelines for former addicts to prevent relapse through efforts to reduce cravings and increase family support.

The Effect of Family Caregiver Empowerment Model Intervention on Fear of Hypoglycemia in People with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus

Background: Fear of hypoglycemia is a common psychological issue in people with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Families play a crucial role in diabetes self-management, but many need a better understanding of their responsibilities. This gap can lead to increased disease management burdens, contributing to psychological problems like fear of hypoglycemia, which worsens blood glucose control. The Family Caregiver Empowerment Model (FCEM) is an intervention that can empower families in their caregiving roles for T2DM management.Purpose: The study aimed to analyze the effect of the FCEM intervention on the fear of hypoglycemia in people with T2DM.Methods: The study used a randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of family members serving as family caregivers. A total of 85 respondents were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (41 respondents) or the control group (44 respondents). FCEM was conducted once per week for ten weeks. Fear of hypoglycemia was measured using the Indonesian version of the Fear of Hypoglycemia Scale questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test and independent t-test.Results: The results showed significant differences in fear of hypoglycemia between the pre-test and post-test in the intervention group (p=0.001) and the control group (p=0.001). However, there was a significant difference in the decrease in fear of hypoglycemia between the treatment and control groups (t=-7.087; p=0.001 < α = 0.05). It suggests that FCEM intervention can significantly reduce the fear of hypoglycemia in patients with T2DM.Conclusion: FCEM intervention can reduce the fear of hypoglycemia in people with T2DM by increasing family support and caregivers' ability to manage T2DM. Nurses can use FCEM intervention in the management of T2DM so that it can improve diabetes self-management outcomes.

To Assess the Impact of the Quality and Level of Family Support to Pregnant Women on Maternal and Fetal Outcomes

Abstract Background: Throughout pregnancy, women need support from the family to gain better maternal and fetal outcomes. Emotional distress in women during pregnancy is known to increase the risk of adverse outcomes in women and newborns. Increasing family support can improve birth outcomes and maternal wellbeing and can reduce complications in mother and increased neonatal birth weight. Aim and Objective: This study aims to evaluate the influence of the level and quality of family support during pregnancy on maternal and fetal outcomes and to identify any association between sociodemographic variables and the impact of the level and quality of family support during the third trimester. Materials and Methods: This study used a quantitative approach combined with a survey research design. Data were collected from four primary health centers (Rethare, Vadgaon, Kale, and Supane) at Karad, Maharashtra, India. A consecutive sampling technique was used to select the 344 subjects from the Rethare, Vadgaon, Kale, and Supane areas of Karad Taluka. Data were collected before the completion of the first trimester, then during the second trimester, and post-delivery. Upon evaluation, the tool was validated by experts representing the fields of community health nursing, mental health nursing, obstetric gynecology, and pediatric care. A pilot study was conducted on 30 samples. The data collected were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: Findings regarding level of family support show that 133 women (38.7%) received good total support, 164 (47.7%) received moderate support, and 47 (13.7%) received poor family support during the third trimester. Results regarding maternal outcomes show that there was a significant association found between type of delivery and family support received after delivery with maternal outcomes and total support during the third trimester (P < 0.05). It means that physical, emotional, and psychosocial support (total support) received by women would prevent complications during delivery, i.e., prevent Cesarean sections, results in the mother giving normal birth to baby. Hence, the mother needs total support during the third trimester. Conclusion: Total family support is needed by pregnant women during the third trimester to achieve maternal and fetal outcomes.

The Association Between Grandchild Care and Biological Aging Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults in China.

Substantial evidence documents grandchild care is associated with self-reported health, life satisfaction, and depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older adults. However, little is known about the relationship between grandchild care and biological aging, especially in China, which emphasizes the unique cultural value of family. The current study sheds light on the biological consequence of grandchild care by examining the link between grandchild care and biological aging among middle-aged and older adults in China, and how gender and spousal involvement in caregiving affect this link. In a representative sample of Chinese adults aged 45-80 from the third wave of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2015 (n = 3,384), we calculate biological age using Klemera-Doubal Method, and Ordinary Least Square models are used to examine the correlation between grandchild care and biological aging. High intensity of involvement in grandchild care is related to biological aging, and caring for grandchildren alone predicts greater biological aging. Compared with grandfathers, grandmothers lose more from grandchild care regardless of whether their husbands are involved in the care. Providing grandchild care should be a way to cope with age-related role discontinuity or loss, rather result in extra stress or burden for grandparents. Reducing the intensity of caregiving or increasing family support may attenuate the extent of biological aging.

Factors associated with an increased risk of anxiety among adolescents during the COVID-19 lockdown in the French Grand Est area

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted adolescent mental health worldwide. The current study aims to assess the feelings of French adolescents and the factors related to anxiety among these adolescents during the first lockdown due to COVID-19. A sample of 284 French adolescents from the Grand Est region aged 12–18 years completed an online survey evaluating their pandemic-related anxiety symptoms, behaviors, and feelings regarding the contingent strategies of lockdown that were taken and their living and learning conditions, family relationships, and social support. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-6) was used to assess anxiety. Data on parents' mental health status were also collected. A word cloud was generated to visualize respondents' feelings according to word use frequency. Cross-sectional analysis with linear regression was performed to identify the factors associated with a higher level of anxiety in adolescents. Higher anxiety scale scores were observed among females than among males (β = 1.2; P = 0.0005), among adolescents experiencing conflicts at home (β = 0.9; P = 0.03) and difficulties in isolation (β = 1.1; P = 0.02) than among those who did not report any difficulty, and among those working less than 2 h a day (β = 1.1; P = 0.003) than among those working more. Anxiety scale scores were lower in adolescents with higher family social support (β = −0.66; P < 0.001) and those with parents with no anxiety (β = −2.28; P < 0.001), lower anxiety (β = −1.38; P = 0.018), and higher mental health-related quality of life (β = −0.04; P = 0.03). These findings suggest a need to support interventions targeting parents’ anxiety, develop strategies to increase family support, and establish consistent work schedules for children.

Trauma Patient-Centered Discharge Plan Form: A Pilot Study.

Comprehensive and multidisciplinary discharge planning can improve trauma patient throughput, decrease length of hospitalization, increase family and patient support, and expedite hospital discharge. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a patient-centered discharge plan form for adult trauma patients. A single-center pilot study was conducted with adult trauma patients on a neurosurgical medical-surgical floor at a Level II trauma center in the Western United States from January to February 2023. The study had three phases: observation, pilot intervention, and follow-up. The key pilot intervention was the development of a standardized patient-centered discharge plan form, pilot tested by a trauma advanced practice provider and an inpatient discharge nurse. The primary outcome was the frequency of discharge orders being written before noon on the day of discharge. Qualitative and quantitative outcomes are reported. The discharge form was used for eight patients during the pilot intervention phase; an advanced practice provider and an inpatient discharge nurse each completed the forms for four patients. Five of eight observed patients had discharge orders before noon; the incidence of orders before noon was slightly higher when the form was completed by the discharge nurse (three of four patients) than by the advanced practice provider (two of four patients). The pilot study found that the patient-centered discharge plan form was feasible and acceptable to help improve the discharge process for trauma patients. Additional work to further refine the form's content and administration is warranted.

Dietary behavior is essential to diabetes self-management in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Understanding factors influencing diabetes self-management will help in designing appropriate intervention. The study aims to determine the effect of psychosocial on dietary behavior. This study was an analytical observational with a cross-sectional design. The sample size was 138 respondents recruited with multistage random sampling. Psychosocial factors were identified using; 1) Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy patients with Diabetes Scale, 2) The Coping Scale, 3) Diabetes Distress Scale, 4) Hensarling Diabetes Family Support Scale, 5) Perceived nurse support questionnaire, while dietery behaviour was measured by Self-Management Dietary Behaviors Questionnaire. Data analysis used multiple linear regression. Among five psychosocial factors only two factors influenced dietary behaviour, such as; distress and perceived family support (p=0.004; p=0.001 &lt; α=0.05). Meanwhile, knowledge, coping, and perceived nurse support did not affect diabetes diet (p=0.133; p=0.527; p=0.535 &gt; α=0.05) with R2 = 0.275 (F=11.148; p=0.001 &lt;α=0.05). Distress and perceived family support are two psychosocial factors that can affect dietary behavior. Preventing the occurrence of distress and increasing family support are important to improve dietary behavior adherence in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Analysis of the duration of exclusive breastfeeding in premature infants and its influencing factors

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the duration of breastfeeding among preterm infants within the first 12 months after birth and analyzed factors influencing the duration of exclusive breastfeeding. Design and methodsIn this retrospective study, premature infants who were hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) premature delivery area of a third-class maternal and child health hospital in Changsha City, Hunan Province, China from October 2020 to January 2021 were selected as the participants for this study. Relevant data of these infants during their hospitalization was obtained from the hospital information system, while the rate of exclusive breastfeeding among preterm infants at a corrected age of 12 months was tracked through telephone follow-up. Univariate analysis of the effects of breastfeeding duration in preterm infants was conducted based on Mann–Whitney U test and Kruskal–Wallis H test. Multiple linear regression was then applied to determine the factors influencing the duration of exclusive breastfeeding in preterm infants. ResultsThe median and interquartile range of breastfeeding duration for preterm infants in this study was 4.00 (1.00, 6.00) months. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the duration of exclusive breastfeeding was affected by several factors including how much other family members support breastfeeding, whether the mother returns to work after maternal leave, and whether the infant is a twin (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe duration of exclusive breastfeeding among preterm infants needs to be improved by strengthening health education regarding the benefits of breastfeeding for preterm infants. Medical staff should provide guidance, encourage continuous nursing after discharge, and work with the community to implement targeted intervention measures with the goal of increasing the duration of exclusive breastfeeding among premature infants. Implications to practiceBecause breastfeeding is vitally important for premature infants, we should encourage longer breastfeeding duration for premature infants by increasing family support, removing barriers to workplace breastfeeding, enhancing people's confidence in breastfeeding and providing support to mothers with twins. Hopefully, these measure can promote breastfeeding for premature infants.

Hispanic adolescents' internalizing symptoms and positive family functioning: A bidirectional examination of associations over time.

Open communication with parents, defined as perceived ease of adolescent-parent disclosure, and family support are components of positive family functioning linked with fewer adolescent internalizing symptoms. However, relatively little is known about bidirectional pathways over time. Even less is known about bidirectional pathways for Hispanic adolescents or about the role of adolescent and parent gender. Therefore, this study examined bidirectional pathways between positive family functioning and adolescent internalizing symptoms over time in a sample of Hispanic middle school adolescents (N = 340; 51% female, Mage = 13.27 years, SD = .77), who completed surveys in the fall of 2016 (Time 1) and the spring of 2017 (Time 2; N = 284; 52% female). Results indicated that positive family functioning, including open communication with mothers and fathers, predicted fewer depressive symptoms for girls, but not for boys. Open communication with fathers predicted fewer anxiety symptoms for girls and boys. Girls' depressive symptoms, but not boys', predicted decreases in open communication with fathers. Boys' depressive symptoms predicted less family support. Unexpectedly, boys' anxiety symptoms predicted increased family support. These findings highlight gendered pathways linking family functioning and internalizing symptoms in Hispanic adolescents over time, including the relative importance of open communication with fathers. Gendered findings emphasize the utility of family-based prevention and early intervention programs targeting internalizing symptoms, especially for Hispanic girls.

Android-Based Family Support to Improve the Quality of Sleep Patterns in the Elderly

Ageing is often associated with sleep disorders. This study aimed to describe the effect of using an Android application on family support in the sleep patterns of the elderly. The study used a cross-sectional survey design conducted among the elderly to assess the use of android-based applications in identifying the sleep pattern experienced and the perceived-family support. The research sample was 98 people selected by convenience sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Researchers enhanced family support through an Android app. The mean value of sleep patterns before using the app was 4.25 and after using the app was 8.35. The correlation test showed that perceived-family support had a significantly strong correlation with sleep patterns with a positive correlation (correlation coefficient 0.779, p-value 0.001; Table 5). The higher the family support perceived by the elderly, the better their sleep pattern. The study concluded that the elderly at risk of dementia often experience disturbed sleep patterns. Families play an important role in helping the improvement of elderly sleep patterns. Android applications can be a technological innovation in increasing family support for the elderly.&#x0D; Keywords: android-based application, sleep patterns, family support
