Abstract

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a cardiovascular disease that frequently causes shortness of breath (dyspnea) and negatively impacts patients’ quality of life. The management of dyspnea involves not only pharmacological approaches but also nonpharmacological interventions, one of which is handheld fan therapy, which works by stimulating sensory receptors in the facial area. This study aims to describe the effect of handheld fan therapy on reducing shortness of breath in patients with CHF. This study employed a descriptive design using a case report method on a single 63-year-old female patient diagnosed with CHF. The intervention was conducted over four days, involving the use of a handheld fan for 10 minutes, held at a distance of 15–30 cm from the face and directed toward the nose and mouth. Measurements were taken before and after the intervention using respiratory rate and oxygen saturation as parameters. The results showed a gradual decrease in respiratory rate from 24 breaths/minute to 18 breaths/minute, as well as an increase in oxygen saturation from 91% to 96% during the intervention period. These findings indicate an improvement in breathing patterns and increased respiratory efficiency in the patient. Handheld fan therapy is effective as a nonpharmacological intervention for reducing shortness of breath and improving oxygenation in patients with CHF. This intervention is safe, easy to use, and can be implemented as a complementary therapy in nursing practice.

Abstract

Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa that often causes pain in the epigastric area, which can reduce patient comfort and quality of life. This condition requires treatment that is not only pharmacological, but can also be supported by non-pharmacological interventions such as warm compresses that function to provide a relaxing effect and improve blood circulation. This study aims to determine the effect of warm compresses on reducing pain intensity in gastritis patients. The research method used was descriptive with a case study approach on one patient treated in the inpatient ward. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation using the PQRST method to assess pain. The intervention in the form of warm compresses was given for three days with a frequency of once a day for ± 15–20 minutes in the epigastric area. The results showed a gradual decrease in pain intensity from a scale of 6 to a scale of 2 after the intervention, as well as an increase in patient comfort. The implications of this study indicate that warm compresses can be used as an effective, safe, and easy-to-implement independent nursing intervention to help reduce pain in gastritis patients and improve the quality of nursing care.
