An Exploration the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in HIV-Positive Persons in Indonesia using Heart Rate Variability
An exploration of cardiovascular disease risk in HIV-positive persons in Indonesia using heart rate variability. Heart rate variability (HRV) reflects beat-to-beat changes in RR intervals, which are related to ongoing interactions between the two arms of the autonomic nervous system (Mittal, 2004). Heart rate (HR) has been extensively studied in cardiac patients, especially in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and also in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) or left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Evidence-Based Nursing Practice and Barriers
However, there is no precise data on the extent to which nurses' knowledge and attitudes are related to evidence-based practice and how evidence-based nursing practice is used. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and factors that influence evidence-based nursing practice (EBNP) among nurses in hospitals. Furthermore, based on observations, it found that the majority of hospital nurses rarely used evidence-based practice (EBP).
This study aimed to determine knowledge, attitudes, implementation and limitations in relation to evidence-based practice in nurses. Furthermore, out of the 119 questionnaires returned, some personal data were found to be incomplete and only 90 questionnaires were fully completed on the evidence-based practice and barriers scale. The instrument used the Evidence-Based Practice Profile (EBP2) questionnaire (McEvoy, Williams, & Olds, 2010) and the BARRIERS Scale (Wang, Jiang, Wang, Wang, . & Bai, 2013).
The mean score of evidence-based practice (EBP) adherence was the highest among other scores on average. Nursing practice, knowledge, attitudes, and perceived barriers to evidence-based practice in an academic medical center. Approaches to learning evidence-based practice among health professionals: An overview of existing evidence.

Determinant Factors of Depression in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease
In addition, an overview of the proportion of depression events with treatment options in patients with CAD, in previous studies, especially in Indonesia, is also unclear. Study factors related to the incidence of depression can be used as information to predict the incidence of depression. This study was expected to provide an overview of the factors that contribute to the occurrence of depression in CHD patients, so that efforts to prevent the problems can be made more precisely and effectively.
This means that CVD patients with low spiritual well-being had a 9 times higher risk of depression than those with high spiritual well-being with a probability of depression of 90.34%. This means that those with a history of medication were 16% more likely to have depression compared to patients who underwent CABG. PCI with medication was the variable with the lowest OR (0.02), meaning that CAD patients with a history of medication had a 2% risk of depression compared with those undergoing CABG and taking medication.
While based on frequency of distribution, more than three-fifths (62.3%) of respondents with low spiritual well-being experienced depression, this factor had the highest incidence of depression compared to other factors. The results showed that patients undergoing medication and PCI therapy had a lower risk of depression than patients undergoing CABG. These circumstances explain that the risk of depression in patients with CABG is higher than in patients undergoing PCI, although at low risk, in the first year after treatment.
Prevention of the occurrence of depression can be done through efforts to improve mental well-being and anxiety management in CHD patients.

Based on table 4.5, the statistical test with chi-square showed that there was a significant relationship between academic stress and internet addiction with a value of P = 0.019 <0.05. Based on table 5, the statistical test with chi-square showed that there was a significant relationship between academic stress and internet addiction with a P-value = 0.019. In accordance with Putri's research (2017), the results of the Rank Spearman test with a value of p 0.000 (<0.05) showed that there was a positive relationship between academic stress and internet addiction and the value of r = 0.525 showed a moderate strength of meaningful relationships, the higher the academic stress the greater the risk of the teenager to experience Internet addiction.
The results of this study indicate that adolescents who experience academic stress are at risk for Internet addiction, especially when accompanied by negative emotions. The results showed that there was no association between family bonding and Internet addiction with a value of P=1.000>(0.05). This finding differs from the results of a previous study conducted by Putri (2017) in SMA in Andir Sub-district, Bandung, where there was a correlation between family ties and Internet addiction with a value of p.
The results showed that there was no association between peer attachment and Internet addiction with a P value of 0.657>. 0.05) indicating that there was no significant relationship between peer attachments. This finding differs from Putri's (2017) study, which found a link between peer attachment and internet addiction. The results of this study prove that among academic stress, family attachment, and peers with Internet addiction, and among these three factors, only academic stress has a significant relationship with Internet addiction among high school students aged 15-18 years in Baleendah District, Bandung Regency.

The Different of Finger Handheld and Deep Breathing Relaxation Techniques Effect on Reducing Heart Rate and Stress Levels in Primary
Hypertension Patients
The research conducted by Mucci et al. 2016) stated that psychological stress significantly affects systolic blood pressure. This research aims to investigate the difference between finger-holding relaxation techniques and deep breathing techniques to reduce heart rate and stress levels in patients suffering from hypertension. The population of this study was all hypertension patients in PUSKESMAS Kembaran Timur Purwokerto in the last 3 months. The sampling technique was a purposive sampling approach.
Bivariate analysis is performed to determine the heart rate and stress level differences in the control and intervention group before and after treatment with finger holding and deep breathing relaxation techniques. There is no significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the group treated with a finger-holding relaxation technique and the group treated with a deep-breathing relaxation technique which ultimately reduces the blood pressure influence on the heart rate and anxiety level measurement result. There is no significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the group treated with finger-holding relaxation technique and the group treated with and deep-breathing relaxation technique which ultimately reduces the blood pressure influence on the heart rate and anxiety level measurement result.
However, the average reduction in stress levels experienced by the group treated with the deep breathing relaxation intervention was better than the group treated with the finger-holding relaxation intervention. However, the mean reduction in stress levels experienced by the group treated with the deep breathing relaxation intervention was better than the group treated with the finger-holding relaxation intervention. The level of stress experienced by the group treated with the finger-holding relaxation intervention decreased by 1.04, while the group treated with the deep breathing relaxation intervention decreased by 1.12.
The heart rate drop experienced by both groups is due to finger holding and deep breathing intervention to result in the relaxation response.
Characteristics of Patients, Self-Efficacy and Quality of Life among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Patient characteristics, self-efficacy and quality of life among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Most patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus reported poor quality of life (Yamin & Sari, 2018). It was consistent with previous research that found self-efficacy to be one of several factors affecting quality of life among patients with diabetes mellitus (Rahman & Sukmarini, 2017).
Therefore, this study wants to identify the relationship between patients' characteristics, self-efficacy and quality of life domains among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Indonesia. However, there was a significant correlation between Table 1 Correlation between characteristics of patients, self-efficacy and quality of life among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (N = 105). The results of this study found that there were associations between patient characteristics, self-efficacy, and quality of life among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The findings showed that patient characteristics and self-efficacy were significantly related to domains of quality of life.

Determinant Factors of Fertility in Reproductive Age Women
Arsyad and Nurhayati (2017); Bongaarts (2015), the use of contraceptives has a direct impact on children ever born or the fertility rate. However, Mulmi, (2018) asserts that there is no relationship between the use of contraceptives and the number of children ever born because most of the respondents did not use contraceptives. He concludes that the number of children born may sometimes decrease as the wealth quantile index increases.
Research by Arsyad and Nurhayati (2017) shows that there is a significant relationship between the number of children desired and when children are born. It is multivariate to determine the most dominant variable contributing to the number of children ever born using logistic regression. The age of first marriage and the frequency of marriage are significantly related to the increase in the number of children born.
Respondents with a first marriage age under 20 have a 2.55 times higher risk of having >2 children. Respondents with a marriage frequency of +0.551 will increase the chance of having children by as much as 0.551, after controlling for the variables age of first marriage, use of contraceptives and area of residence. Another dominant factor affecting the number of children ever born in this survey is the frequency of marriage.
Respondents with fewer children ever born (0-2) belong to the middle class and above, while those with a low wealth index have more children ever born (>2).
