The Effect of Online Group Education on Promoting Knowledge, Motivation, Self-Efficacy, Self-Care Behaviors and Preventing Uncontrolled Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Patients: A Quasi-Experiment Study.

Introduction: Hypertensive patients may lack time to visit clinics and attend educational sessions, resulting in poor blood pressure control. Uncontrolled blood pressure in people with hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Objective: The specific purpose of this study was to determine the effect of online group education on knowledge, motivation, self-efficacy, self-care behavior, and blood pressure control of hypertensive patients.

Pressure injury prevention: Knowledge and attitude and their predictors in Indonesian nurses working in hospital settings.

Aim: Nurses' knowledge and attitude are critical for pressure injury (PI) prevention. However, to date, there has been little research carried out on the knowledge and attitude of Indonesian nurses regarding PI prevention in hospital settings, and no study has investigated the predictors of knowledge and attitude of Indonesian nurses regarding PI prevention. This study therefore aims to investigate knowledge and attitude, and to identify the predictors of knowledge and attitude regarding PI prevention among Indonesian nurses in hospital settings.

Nursing students' knowledge and attitude toward diabetic ulcer care and their contributing factors in Indonesia.

Objective: The prevalence of diabetic foot ulcer in Indonesia is far greater than the global prevalence. Nursing students are expected to have good knowledge and positive attitudes regarding diabetic ulcer care in order to deliver high-quality wound care during clinical practice. This study aimed to assess nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward diabetic ulcer care and to investigate the factors related to them.

Awareness of Being at Risk of Stroke and Its Determinant Factors among Hypertensive Patients in Banyumas, Indonesia.

Background: The global burden of stroke is still high, particularly in developing countries, with hypertension serving as the main risk factor. The awareness of stroke among hypertensive patients is crucial for stroke prevention. This study was aimed at identifying the awareness of being at risk of stroke and its determinant factors among hypertensive patients in Banyumas, Indonesia.

Pilot Study of a Brief Hypnotic Induction: Effects on Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, and Subjective Distress in Patients Diagnosed with Hypertension.

The feasibility of hypnotherapy interventions for lowering blood pressure and psychological stress in hypertensive patients was investigated in a pilot study. The research objective was to determine the effect of audio hypnotherapy on blood pressure, stress levels, and heart rate in primary hypertension patients. The study randomized 64 hypertensive patients to the intervention or usual care.

The differences in health-related quality of life between younger and older adults and its associated factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Indonesia.

Background: It is well known that diabetes mellitus (DM) affects health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in both younger (aged 18-64 years) and older adults (aged ≥ 65 years). However, to date, no study has compared HRQOL and its predictors between younger and older adults with DM in Indonesia. Such a comparison is important because the results can guide nurses and clinicians to establish evidence-based educational programs that are specific and suitable for patients.

The Modifiable Risk Factors of Uncontrolled Hypertension in Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: This review aimed at figuring out the risk factors of uncontrolled hypertension in stroke.

Method: This study systematically analyzed the hypertension risk factors available in the ProQuest, EBSCO, and PubMed databases published between 2010 and December 2019. The risk factors' pooled odds ratio (POR) included in this research was calculated using both fixed and random-effect models.

Foot self-care behavior and its predictors in diabetic patients in Indonesia.

Objectives: Previous studies have shown that diabetic foot ulcers are principally associated with improper foot self-care. Since appropriate foot self-care is essential to prevent diabetic foot-ulcers, any factors which can predict foot self-care behavior should be identified. However, until now, foot self-care behavior data and predictors of foot-care behavior in Indonesia remain unclear since such studies on Indonesian diabetic patients is very limited.
