Introduction. Hypoglycemia is often found in cases of diabetes mellitus and non-diabetes mellitus. Recognizing the signs and symptoms and proper treatment of hypoglycemia is one of the competencies that must be mastered by nursing students. However, even though students have studied the concept of hypoglycemia, they still have difficulty understanding it. The purpose of this study was to explore nursing students' knowledge of the concept of hypoglycemia. Method. The design of this study was a descriptive design with a target population of 249 nursing students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Tribhuwana Tunggadewi University. A sample of 91 students was taken using a stratified sampling technique. The variable in this study was knowledge of hypoglycemia which was measured using a questionnaire developed by the researcher. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results. The results of this study showed that almost all respondents did not know the concept of hypoglycemia (91.2%) even though they had previously studied the concept of hypoglycemia in lectures using lecture methods and PowerPoint presentation. Conclusion. Lecturers need to adjust learning methods and media that are more interesting and effective in achieving learning outcomes based on the characteristics of students.

Understanding earthquake disaster triage is a crucial component of the nursing curriculum, necessitating enhance educational efforts to improve triage knowledge through innovative learning methods. This study aims to investigate the effect of earthquake disaster triage simulation using tabletop media on the knowledge of nursing students at UNITRI Malang. Utilizing a one-group pretest -posttest design, the research involved all nursing students from the class of 2022 at UNITRI Malang. A sample of 35 students was selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data collection was executed using a structured questionnaire assessing knowledge on earthquake disaster triage, and analysis was performed using the marginal homogeneity test with α significant level of α = 0.05. Findings revealed that a majority of the respondents had poor knowledge of earthquake disaster triage before the tabletop simulation (57.1%), which significantly improved to a good category after the simulation (62.9%). The results indicated a significant effect of tabletop earthquake triage simulation on the knowledge of nursing students, with a p-value of 0.000. The tabletop simulation media can be an effective tool for enhancing knowledge in earthquake disaster triage.

Among Indonesian society sweet tea is commonly recognized as an agent to help individuals experiencing hypoglycaemia before they are taken to the hospital. However, tea contains chemical compounds that can lower blood glucose levels. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of sweet tea in managing hypoglycaemia. A literature review method was employed, focusing on journals related to blood sugar levels, blood glucose, postprandial, hypoglycaemia, tea, green tea, black tea, Chinese tea, hypoglycaemia management guidelines, diabetes, and emergencies. Journals were sourced from the internet and limited to the past 15 years. Based on the review results, it is known that the administration of 15 grams of oral monosaccharide glucose can increase blood glucose levels by 2.1 mmol/L in 20 minutes, while 20 grams of oral glucose can increase blood glucose levels by 3.6 mmol/L in 45 minutes. Meanwhile, the administration of 3.3 grams of green tea can decrease postprandial blood glucose levels to 88.95 mmol/dL after 2 hours, the administration catechins of green tea for 369.14 mg actually decreases postprandial blood glucose levels to 88.95±6.13 mg/dL, and the administration of 32 grams of tea extract lowers postprandial blood glucose levels to 81.0 mg/dL. The conclusion drawn is that the administration of oral glucose to hypoglycaemic patients may be less effective when given with tea because tea contains polyphenols that inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase, activate glycolytic enzymes, thus inhibiting the process of glucose catabolism.

Salah satu indikator kualitas penelitian kuantitatif ialah ketepatan dalam menggunakan teknik sampling, yaitu probability sampling. Namun, masih banyak ditemukan penelitian kuantitatif yang belum mengikuti kaidah randomisasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kesalahan penggunaan teknik sampling pada penelitian kuantitatif. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif kuantitatif. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada hasil-hasil penelitian kuantitatif yang telah dipublikasikan pada jurnal-jurnal keperawatan Sinta 2. Variabel pada penelitian ini adalah penggunaan teknik sampling. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua hasil penelitian kuantitatif yang dipublikasikan pada jurnal keperawatan sinta 2 yang memenuhi kriteria. Sampel sebanyak  47 hasil penelitian diambil dengan teknik cluster sampling, yaitu memilih secara acak jurnal keperawatan sinta 2 dan mengambil semua artikel hasil penelitian yang ada pada jurnal terpilih hingga jumlah sampel terpenuhi. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan lembar check list. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan uji univariate. Hasil penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa hampir seluruh hasil penelitian kuantitatif yang telah dipublikasikan pada jurnal terakreditasi kemenristekdikti memiliki kesalahan dalam penggunaan teknik sampling, yaitu sebanyak 38 jurnal (80,85%). Teknik sampling yang paling banyak digunakan adalah nonprobability sampling, yaitu purposive sampling (47,37%) dan consecutive sampling (42,11%). Pemahaman terhadap teknik sampling perlu ditingkatkan kembali melalui seminar atau pelatihan agar dapat menyempurnakan hasil penelitian kuantitatif yang dilakukan oleh para peneliti.
