Introduction: Patients with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 tend to have ABI values lower than the normal range due to lack of physical exercise and uncontrolled hyperglycemia. This needs to be prevented through joint movement exercises with the Buerger Allen exercise which can increase blood perfusion in the lower extremities so that there is an increase in the value of the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of Buerger Allen exercise on the value of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) in patients with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 based on a review of research journals. Methods: This study uses a literature review method. Search literature using 5 databases, namely Portal Garuda, Sinta, ProQuest, Scopus, and Google Scholar with keywords according to MeSH, namely "Buerger Allen Exercise", "Ankle Brachial Index", and "Diabetes Mellitus Type 2". The PICOS framework was used to adjust the inclusion criteria which were divided into 5 English journals and 5 Indonesian journals and then analyzed narratively based on similarity analysis. Results: The findings of the ten journals stated that the Buerger Allen exercise had a significant effect on the value of the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Discussion: Buerger Allen exercise is a physical exercise to improve foot peripheral perfusion that can increase the value of the ankle-brachial index in type 2 DM patients. Conclusion: Buerger Allen exercise has a significant effect on increasing the ankle-brachial index (ABI) score so that it can be used as a reference source for standard operating procedures and nursing interventions.Keywords: Buerger Allen; Exercise; Ankle Brachial Index; Diabetes Mellitus
Tuberculosis is a disease that affect the physical and psychological health, social relationship and environment of people living with tuberculosis. The treatment take longterm process, and this situation is not easy situation for people living with tuberculosis. Involvement of patient's family is needed to support the process. Therefore, this study aim was to identification the correlation between family support and quality of life people living with tuberculosis in Surabaya. Descriptive correlation cross-sectional design was used. Eighty five people living with tuberculosis were wailing to participate in this study. Simple random sampling was perform to identify the participants. World health organization quality of life and family support questionnaires were used to collect the data. Both of questionnaires were achieved a good grade of validity and reliability test. Reliability score of quality of life questionnaire was 0.65 -0.82 and the reliability score of family support questionnaire was 0.82. Descriptive statistic and spearmen's rho test was used to analyze the data. The mean score for quality of life variable was 83.76 and for the family support variable was 98.93. There was significant correlation between family support and quality of life people living with tuberculosis (rho 0.304). In sum, one of element to achieved succeed of medication program of people living with tuberculosis is family involvement to support tuberculosis patients.
