Introduction and aim. Sleep quality is crucial for patient recovery, particularly in critical care settings such as the Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (ICCU). This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using eye masks and earplugs in improving sleep quality among ICCU patients. Material and methods. A quasi-experimental study was conducted using a one-group without control design. A total of 40 ICCU patients were provided with eye masks and earplugs for a minimum duration of three days. Sleep quality was assessed using the Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RSCQ) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results. The use of eye masks and earplugs significantly improved sleep quality among ICCU patients (p<0.05). There was a notable increase in sleep duration, reduction in sleep onset latency, and improvement in sleep efficiency following the intervention. These findings support the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions in enhancing sleep quality in critical care settings. Conclusion. The findings highlight the importance of incorporating simple interventions such as eye masks and earplugs into routine care practices in ICCUs to improve patients’ sleep quality.

Introduction and aim. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent health issue that significantly impacts the quality of life of patients. Evaluating quality of life in T2DM patients is crucial for understanding the broader effects of the disease and improving patient care. This study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the WHOQOL-BREF and DQOL instruments in measuring the quality of life of T2DM patients. Material and methods. A descriptive quantitative study was conducted from March to June 2023 at Puskesmas Wanadadi 1 Banjarnegara. The sample consisted of 195 T2DM patients selected using purposive sampling based on the following inclusion criteria: diagnosed with T2DM for at least one year, aged 30-70 years, willing to participate, and able to complete the questionaires. Data were collected using the WHOQOL-BREF and DQOL questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. Results. The analysis revealed that the WHOQOL-BREF and DQOL instruments provided comprehensive insights into the quaity of life of T2DM patients. The WHOQOL-BREF was particularly effective in assessing physical and environmental domains (p<0.05), while the DQOL was more sensitive to diabetes-specific concerns and psychological well-being (p<0.05). Conclusion. Both the WHOQOL-BREF and DQOL are effective in evaluating the quality of life of T2DM patients, each offering unique strengths in different domains. The findings suggest that a combined use of these instruments could provide a more holistic understanding of the quality of life impacts in T2DM patients, guiding more targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes.
