One of the diseases that often affects the elderly is diabetes mellitus. Blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus must be controlled to prevent complications. In addition to diet and drug use, nutritional status also plays a role in maintaining blood sugar.\u0000Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status and blood glucose levels in the elderly.\u0000Method: The research method was cross sectional, with a sample of elderly people in the Gambirsari Surakarta health center area in August 2023, totaling 99 elderly people with an age range of 48 – 82 years. The variables studied were nutritional status and current blood glucose (GDS). Primary data collection method by measuring weight and height as well as examining the GDS. Data were analyzed with Spearman's rho.\u0000Result: The research results showed that the majority were female (73.7%), the age range was 48 – 82 years with an average age of 61.31 ± 6.77 years, an average nutritional status of 25.56 ± 4.85 kg/ m2 category, mostly fat, 54 people (54.5%), the average blood sugar level was 135.13 ± 63.26 mg/dL with the normal category 88.9%, abnormal 11.1%, correlation test results nutritional status with random blood sugar levels (p=0.012).\u0000Conclusion: The conclusion of the study is that there is a relationship between nutritional status and blood sugar levels during.","PeriodicalId":486632,"journal":{"name":"Genius Journal","volume":"5 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138586021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This study uses a case study design with an evidence-based practice approach that focuses on nursing interventions. This research was conducted at the BLUD RSU Banjar City on 27-31 May 2022. Participants in this study were Ny patients. C, 35 years old, female, complains of right lower quadrant abdominal pain. The process of assessing and establishing a diagnosis is focused on the main problem. Objective and subjective data becomes a reference for periodic evaluation of nursing implementation. Results: Patients gave recognition of decreased pain after being given a progressive muscle relaxation intervention with a pain scale of 4 out of 5 (0-10) and a scale of 3 out of 4 (0-10). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation intervention should be suspected to be effective in reducing pain in appendicitis patients as evidenced by subjective patient recognition. Theoretically, this study does not conflict with previous research so that it can be a reference in future research. Theoretically, this research does not conflict with previous research so that it can be a reference in future research. Clinically, progressive muscle relaxation intervention can be an alternative intervention to reduce pain levels in patients with chronic diseases such as appendicitis in hospitals and health centers.","PeriodicalId":486632,"journal":{"name":"Genius Journal","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136136311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
