This study describes a diabetes self-management profile using self-reported outcomes related to engagement in diabetes care activities and psychological adjustment to the disease. The aim of this study was to describe how self-management experiences differed from physical, emotional, and spiritual perspectives. We used self-reported data from a community-based cohort of adults with diabetes (n = 316) and conducted a cluster analysis of self-reported outcomes (i.e., behaviors, perceived self-efficacy and empowerment, diabetes distress, and quality of life). We tested whether clusters differed by sociodemographic, clinical, and care delivery process variables. Cluster analysis revealed four distinct profiles that combined high or low levels of engagement in diabetes care activities and good or bad psychological adjustment to the disease. The different profiles were related to the variables of perceived financial insecurity, taking insulin treatment, experiencing depression, and the concordance of care received with the Chronic Care Model. The results can help health professionals gain a better understanding of the different realities faced by people living with diabetes, identify patients at risk of poor outcomes related to them, and lead to the development of profile-specific interventions.

Introduction: Emotional intelligence or EI is defined as an individual’s set of abilities, both verbal and nonverbal, to perceive, understand, utilize and manage personal emotions, as well as the emotions of other individuals. It is an individual’s mental ability to utilize and manage emotions in solving problems. Materials and Methods: The PSS is a 10- item self-report instrument designed to measure the degree to which events are appraised as stressful and the frequency of perceived stressful situations. Respondents are instructed to report the frequency of perceived stress over the past month from 0 (Never) to 4 (Very Often). Total scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40. The Brief COPE is a 28-item version of the COPE Inventory, a self-report measure of coping responses. Scores for coping responses are calculated by summing scores for the 12 items on the maladaptive coping subscale and the 16 items on the adaptive coping subscale. Results: there were 65 males and 85 females. 95 were in bachelor’s degree and 55 were in master’s degree. 42 were in first year, 38 in second, 48 in third, 22 in 4th year. 95 were unmarried, and 55 were married. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that interventions aimed at increasing emotional intelligence may help to lessen perceived stress for students in the helping disciplines.

Background: Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that many people of productive age and the elderly suffer today. The increase in the prevalence of hypertension is influenced by lifestyle, one of which is smoking and excessive salt consumption. AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of smoking and salt consumption on the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. Method: This study used a cross-sectional research design. The population in this study was the elderly who lived in the working area of the Mangger Health Center. The number of samples in this study was 91 elderly. The sample technique used is purposive sampling. The instrument used is a questionnaire. Data analysis using chi square test. Results: The results of this study found that there was an influence between smoking behavior on the incidence of hypertension in the elderly (0.040<0.05) and OR = 2.663. there is an influence between salt consumption on the incidence of hypertension in the elderly(0.001<0.05) and OR= 4.948. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that the elderly who smoke are 2.6 times more likely to suffer from hypertension compared to the elderly who do not smoke and the elderly who consume excess salt are 5 times more likely to suffer from hypertension compared to the elderly who do not consume excess salt.

This study examines nursing interventions for cardiac conduction disease patients at Al-Nasiriyah's cardiac care unit. Methodology: Evaluating Al-Nasiriyah cardiac center patients. The study ran from September 13, 2019, until August 25, 2020. 85 Al-Nasiriyah cardiac Center patients with cardiac blockages were studied. The prepared form and self-administered bang technique yielded data. Three of the closely related socio-demographic physiognomies that were left on the questionnaire are age, gender, educational achievement, employment, monthly income, and residence. The second section of the questionnaire, which inquires about the nurses' knowledge of how to treat patients with heart blockages, consists of 13 questions. The objectivity of the instrument was validated by a panel of industry experts, and the Alpha Correlation Coefficient (0.865) was used to evaluate the instrument's internal coherence and consistency. IBM SPSS version 25.0 was used to analyze data using descriptive and inferential statistical approaches. Findings: age of 60 years and more* years, 35 (41.2%) of the nurses. Eighty-seven women (or 87.1% of the total) were included in the analysis.Forty-four people (44.7% of the total) in the survey had nursing degrees at the bachelor's level or above. There are 42 married people in the sample (49.4 percent). Of the total number of nurses who took part in this study, 51 (60.0%) of them are city dwellers., 46 (54.1) did not attend. the most of study sample were within poor knowledge regarding the management of heart block. The presented table indicates that there are no statistically significant differences between the knowledge of nurses and their sociodemographic characteristics, with the exception of a certain factor. Nurses' knowledge of heart block management in cardiac care units is statistically different from their education and training. Conclusion:. Patients suffering from heart blockage did not get enough treatment from nurses working in the cardiac care unit. The number of years of experience, age, sex, marital status, and location of residence did not correspond with the level of expertise of nurses. Despite the fact that age, gender, marital status, area of residence, and years of service all had statistically significant relationships,
