    Junaedi Yunding, Lalu Muhammad Saleh, Takdir Tahir, Atjo Wahyu, Andi Indahwaty Sidin, Muhammad Arsyad, Saldy Yusuf, Nurmulia Wunaini Ngkolu
    Dialogues in Health, 2026
    Background: Caregiver burden in stroke care is a major issue in Asia, influenced by cultural norms, socioeconomic disparities, and variations in healthcare systems. Objective: This scoping review aimed to map and synthesize evidence on the levels and domains of caregiver burden among stroke caregivers in Asian countries. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, SCOPUS, ProQuest, and ScienceDirect for full-text English-language articles published between 2020 and 2025. This review followed the PRISMA-ScR framework. Studies were screened using predefined criteria, and data were extracted using a standardized data extraction form. Thematic analysis was applied to identify burden domains and cross-country variations. Results: Fifteen studies from China, Iran, India, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Turkey, and Pakistan were included. Eight burden domains were identified, with physical and emotional burden being the most predominant. Variations between countries were associated with cultural expectations, gender roles, socioeconomic conditions, and healthcare infrastructure. Countries with stronger health systems report a more manageable burden, while those with weaker systems experience higher financial and emotional stress. Conclusion: This scoping review underscores the urgent need for health policies that prioritize caregiver support through financial assistance, psychoeducation, mental health services, and digital innovation. Community-based strategies tailored to the sociocultural context are crucial for improving caregiver well-being and optimizing post-stroke recovery.

    Chyntia Novita Kalalo, Elly Lilianty Sjattar, Saldy Yusuf, Prisilia Arviani Angela Kalalo, Firdaus Hamid
    Multidisciplinary Science Journal, 2026
    Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder marked by elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia). Stress can influence blood glucose, medication adherence, and lifestyle behaviors. Benson’s relaxation therapy is a complementary intervention that may help reduce stress and support glycemic control. This study aimed to examine the effect of Benson’s relaxation therapy on fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels in women with type 2 DM. Methods: Benson’s relaxation therapy was implemented three times per week for 12 weeks. FBG levels were measured at baseline (pre), and at one, two, and three months post-intervention. The study was conducted in the service area of Puskesmas Kakaskasen, Tomohon, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, using a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. A total of 30 women with type 2 DM were selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Kruskal‒Wallis, Mann‒Whitney U, Friedman, and Wilcoxon tests. The Friedman test showed a significant difference in FBG levels across the four time points (p = 0.000). Wilcoxon tests revealed significant differences between pre- and postintervention (p = 0.000), pre- and month 1 (p = 0.000), and post- and months 1 and 2 (p = 0.006). No significant difference was observed between months 1 and 2. Age, education, duration of illness, and BMI did not significantly affect changes in FBG (p > 0.05). The results indicate that Benson’s relaxation therapy significantly reduces fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus, independent of demographic and clinical characteristics, supporting its recommendation as a complementary strategy for stress reduction and glycemic control, particularly in primary healthcare and community-based diabetes management programs.

    Juhelnita Bubun, Saldy Yusuf, Yuliana Syam, Wahyu Hidayat, Sintawati Majid
    International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds, 2026
    Early detection of PAD and neuropathy is essential to prevent diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). The study aimed to identify the inter reliability of diabetic foot check-up (Ipswich touch test [IpTT] and palpation of the dorsal pedis and posterior tibialis) between nurses and caregivers. An inter-operator observation study between nurses and caregivers was conducted to evaluate the reliability of diabetic foot check-up in eight public health centers in eastern Indonesia. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) with and without diabetic foot ulcer (DFU, n = 144) were included in this study. The nurse demonstrates IpTT and palpation of the dorsal pedis and posterior tibial artery, followed by the caregiver. The McNemar test confirmed no difference in IpTT between nurses and caregivers on the left foot at the first, third, and fifth finger (P > 0.05), similar to the right foot (P > 0.05). The sensitivity of palpation dorsal pedis was (47.3%–50%) and (50%–52%) for the left and right foot, respectively. The insights gained from this study may assist in implementing diabetic foot check-up as an early screening tool for risk DFU in the community setting.

    Abdullah, Yusuf, Sjattar, Hidayat
    Wound Practice and Research, 2026
    Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are serious diabetes complications that may lead to amputation if not properly managed.In West Sulawesi, the Mandar ethnic community continues to use traditional medicine for DFU treatment.Objective This study explores local knowledge and traditional practices in DFU management among the Mandar ethnic group in West Sulawesi, Indonesia.Methods A descriptive qualitative design with a phenomenological approach was applied.Eighteen participants with DFU experience who had used traditional treatments were recruited purposively.Data were collected through semi-structured online interviews and analysed thematically using MaxQDA.Relational patterns among ingredients, outcomes, and information sources were visualised using Gephi.Results Turmeric was the most frequently used ingredient, followed by honey, guava leaves, coconut oil and castor leaves.Most materials were applied in raw, unstandardised forms.Some participants experienced positive early effects, while others reported worsening symptoms.Information was primarily transmitted through families and traditional figures.The network map revealed strong cultural and spiritual influences on treatment decisions. ConclusionTraditional DFU care displays empirical understanding and cultural values, but its unregulated use poses scientific risks, highlighting the want for evidence-based, culturally-sensitive healthcare integration.
  • Development of a Mechanism-Based Instrument for Medical Device–Related Pressure Injury Risk in ICUs: Preliminary Psychometric Testing
    Deliaty Bagenda Ali, Saldy Yusuf, Rosyidah Arafat, Muhammad Abu
    Nursing in Critical Care, 2026
    Background Medical device–related pressure injury (MDRPI) is a major patient safety issue in intensive care units (ICUs), where invasive devices, impaired consciousness and fragile skin tolerance increase risk. Generic risk scales such as Braden and Norton do not account for device–skin interface mechanisms, leading to the underestimation of MDRPI risk. No ICU‐specific validated MDRPI risk assessment instrument has been reported in Indonesia. Aim To develop and preliminarily validate a concise, ICU‐specific, mechanism‐based risk assessment instrument for MDRPI. Study Design Methodological instrument development and validation study guided by the COSMIN framework, comprising three phases: literature review and item generation, three‐round Delphi consensus with wound care experts, and pilot testing among ICU patients. Results Delphi consensus reduced 31 candidate items to six domains: nutrition, moisture/microclimate, sensory perception, friction/shear, external device and consciousness. Content validity was excellent (I‐CVI = 1.00 S‐CVI/Ave = 1.00). Internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach's α = 0.81–0.85). Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated excellent discriminative performance (AUC = 0.96), with an optimal cut‐off score of ≥ 14 for identifying patients at high risk of MDRPI. Conclusions The 6‐item ICU‐specific MDRPI risk assessment instrument demonstrated robust preliminary validity and reliability. It addresses key limitations of generic scales and provides a feasible framework for MDRPI risk stratification in critical care settings. Relevance to Clinical Practice The instrument supports early identification of high‐risk ICU patients, facilitates targeted preventive interventions and is suitable for integration into routine bedside assessment and electronic health record systems.

    Selviana Anwar, Saldy Yusuf, Maria Kurnyata Rante Kada, Farawansah Mustafa
    Jmir AI, 2026
    Background High-quality nursing services are essential for improving patient satisfaction and health outcomes. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) applications such as ChatGPT offer potential solutions to enhance patient education and assist nurses in providing more accurate and personalized information. Despite its promising potential in nursing education, concerns regarding information accuracy, privacy, and ethical considerations must be addressed. Objective This scoping review aimed to map the current evidence on the use of ChatGPT (OpenAI) as an educational resource in nursing practice, focusing on its educational functions, reported outcomes, and implementation challenges. Methods The literature search was conducted using 3 databases (PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest). Following the Population, Concept, and Context framework. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies published between 2019 and 2025, in English, and available in full text. The PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guideline was used to guide the screening and selection process. Results We included 20 articles and synthesized four main findings: (1) AI in patient education and simplification of medical information, (2) AI in clinical decision-making and patient monitoring, (3) AI in nursing education, and (4) challenges and prospects of AI in nursing. Across studies, commonly reported limitations involved response accuracy inconsistencies, ethical concerns, and the absence of standardized implementation guidelines. Conclusions ChatGPT shows promise as an adjunct educational resource in nursing practice, particularly for information accessibility and learner engagement. Nevertheless, its use requires professional oversight, ethical safeguards, and further implementation-focused research.
  • Complementary Therapies for Diabetic Foot Ulcer Healing Among Patients in Asia: Scoping Review
    A Dian Miranda Yusran P, Saldy Yusuf, Herlina Burhan, Muhammad Jufri Taming
    Asian Pacific Island Nursing Journal, 2026
    Background Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a severe complication of diabetes mellitus that can lead to amputation and mortality. Conventional treatments may be insufficient, leading to an interest in complementary therapies such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, maggot debridement therapy, and biological therapies. These approaches are widely used in Asia, yet their effectiveness and integration into clinical practice remain underexplored. Objective The scoping review aimed to map the types of complementary therapies used for DFU healing in Asia and evaluate their reported effectiveness, implementation challenges, and opportunities for integration into conventional care. Methods A scoping review was conducted using the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews) framework and the methodology of Arksey and O’Malley. Articles were sourced from the PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest databases, covering studies published from 2014 to 2024. The population, concept, and context model guided the selection of studies, focusing on patients with DFUs, complementary therapies, and the Asian region. Results Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. The most commonly used therapies included herbal treatments (eg, traditional Chinese medicinal foot soaks and Teucrium polium ), biological therapies, including maggot debridement therapy and platelet-rich fibrin with hyaluronic acid), physical therapy (acupuncture), and psychological therapies (music therapy). Topical T polium significantly reduced wound size, and platelet-rich fibrin combined with hyaluronic acid increased vascular endothelial growth factor levels while reducing inflammation. Music therapy lowered the diabetes-related distress score. Despite these promising results, challenges remain, including a limited number of large-scale randomized controlled trials, regulatory barriers, and cultural perceptions affecting therapy acceptance. Conclusions Complementary therapies are promising adjuncts for DFU management in Asia, where traditional medical practices are prevalent. Multidisciplinary collaboration between health care providers, policymakers, and traditional practitioners is essential for safe and effective integration. Further well-designed randomized controlled trials are required to confirm the efficacy of these therapies and inform evidence-based policies.

    Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Effective patient education is essential to improve understanding of diagnosis, treatment options, and self-care. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, offer opportunities to deliver interactive, personalized health education. Methods: This study used a scoping review approach guided by the Arksey and O’Malley framework and Joanna Briggs Institute recommendations and is reported in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR checklist. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, ProQuest, and Scopus for full-text, English-language articles published between January 2020 and July 2025. The PRISMA flowchart was used to document study selection. Results: Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria, involving patients with breast cancer at different stages, women in screening programs, and expert evaluators. Eight studies directly included patients, totaling 3417 participants. Interventions comprised chatbots/LLMs, messaging platforms, and QR code modules. Most studies showed improvements in knowledge, comprehension, and satisfaction. Randomized controlled trials demonstrated gains in knowledge, reduced chemotherapy side effects, better self-care, and lower preoperative anxiety, though some effects varied by subgroup. Additional findings reported enhanced readability of medical information and moderate to high accuracy of AI responses, with variability underscoring the need for clinical oversight. Conclusion: AI-based technologies are promising for breast cancer education by improving understanding, reducing anxiety, and supporting self-care. Successful implementation requires clinical oversight, inclusivity, and adherence to evidence-based standards.
  • Therapy by Quranic Recitation for Pain Management in Hospitals: A Scoping Review
    Sunarti Maming, Rosyidah Arafat, Saldy Yusuf
    Journal of Client Centered Nursing Care, 2025
    Background: Pain is a frequently encountered issue in hospitals with a high prevalence, causing detrimental effects if uncontrolled.Non-pharmacological approaches like Quranic recitation have been effective in reducing pain.However, further mapping is needed for the clinical application of this therapy in hospitals.This scoping review aims to map Quranic recitation therapy for hospital pain management. Methods:The literature research was conducted on PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Garuda, and Wiley Online Library.We searched the relevant articles written in English between 2014 and 2024.Boolean operators ("AND" and "OR") were used to optimize the search strategy, focusing on the terms "Quran" OR "Qur'an" OR "Koran" AND "pain."This scoping review uses the framework by Arkey and O'Malley.The article selection process was conducted using the Rayyan software program.Three individuals carried out the selection process, and the extracted data were then mapped, categorized, and summarized. Results:The initial database search retrieved 250 articles.Ultimately, 10 studies met the inclusion criteria and proceeded to the next stage of extraction and analysis.The included studies consisted of 4 randomized controlled trials, 5 quasi-experimental studies, and 1 case-control study.Most participants were Muslim adults, reflecting the context of the studies conducted in Muslimmajority countries.One study included neonates, highlighting the potential physiological effects of Quranic recitation beyond religious affiliation.The findings show that Quranic recitation therapy notably decreases pain perceptions, promotes relaxation, soothes the mind, and enhances mental health.It also boosts patient comfort, lowers heart rate, improves oxygen saturation, and alleviates anxiety.The numeric rating scale is commonly used to measure pain, with Surah Ar-Rahman being the most frequently used chapter in the therapy. Conclusion:Given the benefits of Quranic recitation in pain management, it is hoped that the provision of Quranic recitation therapy can be integrated into hospital pain management protocols as a routinely used complementary therapy.Future research should focus on establishing standardized methodologies for Quranic recitation therapy, including the duration of sessions, specific Surahs used, and uniform outcome measures.Additionally, exploring the therapy's efficacy in non-Muslim populations would provide valuable insights into its universal applicability beyond cultural and religious contexts.
  • Case Report: Delayed Diagnosis of Leprosy-Related Neuropathic Ulcer, Insights from a Case of Delay to Diagnose across Four Clinical Settings
    Saldy Yusuf
    F1000research, 2025
    Background Neuropathy is common in both Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Leprosy, often resulting in neuropathic ulcers. Leprosy-related neuropathic ulcers are frequently misdiagnosed as DM-related, causing delays in appropriate care. We report a case which had been misdiagnosed at three different healthcare centers before receiving the correct diagnosis and management. Methods The case report adopt the CARE Guidelines and was conducted at the Wound Care Specialist Clinic. Data were collected using a Minimum Data Set (MDS) to capture demographics, health history, and history of treatments. A head-to-toe assessment focused on the eyes, hands, and feet, with neuropathy, confirmed using the Semmes Weinstein Monofilament test, and angiopathy was assessed by palpating the dorsal pedis and posterior tibialis pulse. Wound care interventions consisted of cleansing, debridement, and dressing. Given the similarities between Leprosy-related neuropathic ulcers and DM-related neuropathic ulcers, the DMIST (depth, maceration, inflammation/infection, size, tissue type of the wound bed, type of wound edge, and tunnelling/undermining) tool was used to evaluate wound healing progress. Results Anamnesis indicated patient has no DM, with normal blood glucose; however, the patient had neuropathic wounds on her feet, asymmetrical eyebrow distribution, and rashes on her hands and calves, with neuropathy confirmed by a monofilament test—initial treatment involved Cadexomer Iodine powder to control bacterial growth and Honey-based gel to promote granulation. Over 62 days, 11 treatments were administered, with an average dressing change every 5.6 days, which improved the DMIST score from 12 to 4 by the end of observation day. Conclusions This case report highlights the significance of distinguishing leprosy-related neuropathic ulcers from those associated with DM to ensure accurate diagnosis and timely treatment. By employing comprehensive assessment tools and targeted wound care interventions, significant improvements in wound healing were achieved, emphasizing the need for greater awareness and clinical vigilance in managing Leprosy-related neuropathic ulcers.
