Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease with abnormal glucose metabolism, constituting a complex health problem. As a chronic disease, people with diabetes mellitus have a high hospital hospitalization risk. Objective: This study aims to examine the correlation between diabetes mellitus duration and the incidence of hospital readmission in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: This study was a multicenter-based cross-sectional survey. This study was conducted in 5 hospitals in Makassar City, South Sulawesi. The research sample was 291 patients with diabetes mellitus, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Result: 207 respondents (71.1%) have had diabetes mellitus for 1-5 years and have been readmitted, while ten respondents (3.4%) have had diabetes mellitus for 6-10 years and have been readmitted. Meanwhile, two respondents (0.7%) who have had diabetes for more than ten years have not been readmitted. The Chi-square test resulted in a score of 0.026 (<0.05). Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus significantly impacts the risk of hospital readmission in Makassar City. Patients who have had diabetes for longer tend to comprehend the disease process and have better self-management. Recommendation: diabetes control should be improved in patients who have had diabetes for a long time to reduce readmissions. Future research should focus on developing approaches to effectively preventing hospital readmission incidents

Abstract

Diabetes Militus (DM) or known as diabetes, is currently a disease that is commonly found This study highlights. The  effectiveness of the counseling intervention "Strengthening Diabetes Self Management in Diabetes Mellitus Patients" in increasing the knowledge of abdimas participants about diabetes management. Before the intervention, the majority of participants had less knowledge about their condition, but after the program was completed, there was a significant improvement where only 40% of participants still had less knowledge, while 60% had acquired good knowledge. The transformation that occurred after the intervention, from expressions of confusion to understanding and confidence, demonstrated the importance of a targeted outreach approach in improving abdimas participants' skills in managing their own diabetes

Abstract

Hemoglobin (Hb) is a component of red blood cells that functions to transport oxygen throughout the body. Decreased hemoglobin levels cause anemia. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that ideal Hb levels are ≥11 gr/dL. Various factors such as ethnicity, environmental conditions, age, culture, parity, nutritional value, and socioeconomic status can affect the occurrence of anemia during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of Hb levels in pregnant women in the first and third trimesters, both in indigenous Papuans (OAP) and non-OAP. This type of research is quantitative analytic with a comparative research design. The population in this study were 290 pregnant women who came and underwent examinations at the Malawili Health Center. The number of pregnant women in this study was 36 people. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The results showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) in hemoglobin levels in pregnant women in the first and third trimesters in the OAP and Non-OAP categories. The average hemoglobin level of pregnant women in the first trimester who were anemic and not anemic was 11,076 and in the third trimester it was 10,850. The results of the study showed that the incidence of anemia was more common in pregnant women in the third trimester who did not receive iron and folic acid supplementation (non-OAP) due to lack of knowledge about the preparations needed during pregnancy. It is recommended to increase the role of health workers in providing information to pregnant women in order to reduce the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.

Abstract

Wound healing in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presents a major clinical challenge, particularly due to alterations in body composition such as reduced muscle mass and increased fat mass. This systematic review aimed to synthesize current evidence regarding the impact of body composition on wound healing effectiveness in T2DM patients. Literature was retrieved from PubMed, ProQuest, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar, targeting observational and experimental studies published between 2015 and 2025. Keywords included "type 2 diabetes mellitus", "wound healing", "body composition", "sarcopenia", and "obesity". Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Methodological quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist. A total of seven eligible studies were included and analyzed narratively. The findings from the 4 articles analyzed showed that low muscle mass (sarcopenia) and high fat mass (obesity) were associated with delayed wound healing in T2DM patients. Some studies indicate that patients with better body composition balance, such as higher muscle mass index, experience faster wound healing. Heterogeneity in measurement methods and study populations limits the strength of these conclusions. This review supports the hypothesis that body composition significantly influences wound healing outcomes in T2DM. Muscle mass reduction may impair tissue repair by limiting perfusion and immune responses, while increased fat mass may contribute to chronic inflammation that hinders tissue regeneration. Further longitudinal research with standardized assessments is needed. Interventions that promote muscle mass gain and fat mass control may be essential components in wound management strategies for diabetic patients.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricemia are among the major public health challenges in Indonesia. Health promotion and disease prevention efforts through medical check-ups and education are important strategies to increase public awareness and enable early detection of NCD risk factors. This community service program was conducted in Adatongeng Village, Turikale District, Maros Regency, involving 12 residents. The intervention consisted of three stages: anamnesis, vital signs examination including blood pressure, and blood sugar and uric acid level tests. Counseling was then provided on healthy lifestyle practices, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and the importance of routine medical check-ups. The results showed active community participation in both the examinations and educational sessions, as well as increased awareness of the importance of early detection and prevention of NCDs. This activity suggests that integrating medical check-ups and education is an effective strategy in health promotion and disease prevention efforts to improve community quality of life.
