Background: Peripheral neuropathy diabetic is a problem that will be experienced by almost all patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). One of the non-pharmacological therapies that can be done to reduce the complaints of peripheral neuropathy diabetic is foot massage. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of foot massage on decreasing peripheral neoropathy diabetic complaints.Method: The research design was a one group pretest-post-test design (foot massage) as the treatment given to the patients with T2DM. The population in this study was the patients with T2DM who had peripheral neuropathy diabetic. Seventy-two participants were involved as the sample of the study selected through simple random sampling. The data was collected using the questionnaire of the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument.Result: The results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Sign Rank test with a significance level was set at α = 0.05.Conclusion: The foot massage had a significant effect at reducing the complaints of peripheral neuropathy diabetic in patients with T2DM (p=0,000 < ɑ 0.05). The patients with T2DM are expected to practice foot massage independently.
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a cardiac emergency condition that requires fast and precise action while a pre-hospital delay in a patient to come to the ED is still common. This pre-hospital delay is related to the socioeconomic and knowledge factor. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship of socioeconomic and knowledge with the prehospital delay of ACS patients to come to Integrated Heart Service in Emergency Department of Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar. This research is a quantitative research with cross-sectional design and purposive sampling as data collection technique with 292 patients. The results showed that 55.8% of patients have low socioeconomic status and there are 71.6% of patients who do not know ACS. The pre-hospital delay, in this case, is associated with low socioeconomic status and knowledge of ACS so that health workers need to provide counseling to patients and families about ACS signs and symptoms, healthy lifestyles, and the importance of coming to the emergency department when signs of ACS are felt.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not ended yet, and so educational systems need to continue to be active and creative in establishing online learning materials. Nursing education faces challenges for many learning materials with high credits, such as Medical-Surgical Nursing. Even when altered to online methods, education still must prioritise the quality of the teaching-learning process to generate satisfactory learning. This study aimed to overview the satisfaction of nursing students towards the e-learning activities of the Medical-Surgical Nursing program during the pandemic. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with a total of 300 participants. There were five aspects assessed, including accessibility, convenience in understanding the materials, interactivity, the accuracy of the methods used, and independence. The results showed that 110 respondents (36.7%) marked low on accessibility; 164 (54.7%) determined it was convenient to understand the materials; 126 (42%) felt that they interacted well among students and with lecturers; 185 (61.7%) thought the methods were sufficiently appropriate during the online learning process; and 141 (47%) felt independent enough to be able to do online learning. In conclusion, the students determined that the online learning process was fairly good in its accessibility, convenience in understanding the materials, interactivity, accuracy of the methods used, and independence aspects.

Background: Fire disasters in educational facilities often occur and lead to a lack of psychological readiness of volunteers in health colleges and in general. Objective: The study aimed to analyze the effects of fire management: A virtual short film on the psychological preparedness of university volunteers in Indonesia. Methods: This study uses quasi-experimental. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample of 87 respondents who were divided into treatment and control groups. Health college volunteers were recruited from Java, Bali, and Sumatera islands. The psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale (PPDTS) questionnaire was used. The statistical test used is the paired t-test and the Independent Sample T-test. Results: We found a difference in volunteers’ psychological preparedness pre-treatment and post-treatment in the treatment group (p < 0.001) and control group (p = 0.800). Differences in both groups were significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Treatments using technology media, namely short films, can virtually influence increasing psychological preparedness for volunteers. In addition, this intervention can be used as media for health promotion that is easily accessible to everyone in the face of disasters.
Background: Traffic accidents are unpredictable collisions among vehicles that might lead to casualties. Injuries due to traffic accidents have killed at least 1.2 million lives per year. Fatalities are high as first aid is not properly administered, causing to higher mortality rate.Objectives: This research compared the effectiveness between the use of live demonstration and videos on high school students’ first aid knowledge.Methods: The research was conducted in the form of a comparative study with a cross sectional approach, for three months, starting from March to June 2019 in Senior High School 1 Rendang Karangasem Bali. The sample taken as many as 150 people as respondents who were divided into 2 groups, namely group 1 attended counseling which featured live demonstrations, while group 2 attended counseling where video was used as a medium. The instrument used was a questionnaire modified by researchers from Gorucu-Coskuner, H., Atik, E., & Taner, T. (2020) with 24 question items with yes and no answers. The validity test was carried out using the Pearson product-moment bivariate correlation technique where these results indicate that the value of "r count" (0.873)> "r table (0.227) means that the questionnaire is valid. Reliability test using alpha technique (Cronbach's) obtained r count (0.919)> "r alpha" (0.227) then the questionnaire was declared fit for use. Furthermore, bivariate analysis was carried out by comparing the knowledge of the two groups using the Mann-Whitney analysis.Results: A meaningful difference was found between the use of live demonstration and videos at P <α = 0.05 and p = 0,000. The mean score of the pretest done in group 2 was 96.70, while the one of the groups 1 was 48.30 which scores increased in the posttest to 105.39 and 39.61.Conclusion: Therefore, the use of video media has been found more effective than the use of live demonstrations in improving students’ first aid knowledge. Based on this finding, it is considered necessary to create more tutorial videos to improve first aid knowledge of the community especially students. Keywords: Counseling, Demonstration, Video, First Aid, Traffic Accident.
