Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a progressive and irreversible condition that leads to a decline in kidney function, requiring renal replacement therapy. The intensive and prolonged treatment process often results in fatigue, which is one of the most common problems in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Elevated urea levels affect erythropoietin production, resulting in decreased red blood cell count or anemia (low hemoglobin levels), leading to energy and protein loss, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, and reduced creatinine production—contributing to decreased skeletal energy production, fatigue, and weakness. Despite the frequent pharmacological interventions, fatigue management is often inadequate due to lack of energy, limiting patients' ability to perform therapeutic activities. One of the easiest and most efficient complementary therapies is lavender aromatherapy, which does not interfere with pharmacological treatments. However, it remains underutilized. In 2022, 143 CKD patients in one hospital presented with fatigue complaints, often leading to repeated care episodes. This case study aims to analyze the application of lavender aromatherapy in reducing fatigue levels in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis.Methods: This study used a case study design with a pre-post test approach involving 3 patients selected through simple random sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through direct observation using the FACIT-Fatigue Scale.Results: The results showed a reduction in fatigue levels in all three patients. Initially, they exhibited severe fatigue. After three days of lavender aromatherapy, fatigue levels decreased to mild. Conclusion: The application of lavender aromatherapy led to a decrease in fatigue levels, suggesting that it can be an effective supportive intervention.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is defined as a condition in which an individual has a systolic blood pressure ? 140 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure ? 90 mmHg. Systolic blood pressure is the main measure used to diagnose hypertension. Hypertension is often referred to as a "silent killer" due to its asymptomatic nature, causing patients to be unaware of their condition. Globally, 1.28 billion people are affected by hypertension; in Indonesia, 70 million people (28%) have hypertension, with Jakarta ranking 9th among Indonesian provinces in 2017 with a prevalence of 33.43%. Methods: This study employed a descriptive narrative case study design. The subjects were three adult patients diagnosed with hypertension. Results: The case study showed a non-pharmacological effect of lavender aromatherapy in lowering blood pressure among hypertensive patients. All three patients were given lavender aromatherapy over three days. The goal was to reduce pain and stabilize blood pressure. Expected outcomes included decreased pain complaints, improved vital signs, and reduced BP. Conclusion: This study suggests that lavender aromatherapy can serve as an alternative nursing intervention for reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients and can be independently administered by nurses as a non-pharmacological therapy.

Abstract

Tingkat kepuasan kerja yang rendah dapat berdampak pada meningkatnya kelelahan kerja, niat berpindah kerja, serta penurunan mutu asuhan keperawatan. Salah satu gaya kepemimpinan yang banyak dikaji dalam konteks pelayanan kesehatan adalah kepemimpinan transformasional, yang menekankan pada pemberian inspirasi, perhatian individual, stimulasi intelektual, serta pembentukan visi bersama. Tujuan: Literature review ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan mensintesis bukti ilmiah mengenai efektivitas penerapan kepemimpinan transformasional terhadap kepuasan kerja perawat berdasarkan penelitian yang dipublikasikan dalam sepuluh tahun terakhir. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode literature review dengan penelusuran artikel ilmiah melalui basis data PubMed, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, dan Google Scholar. Kriteria inklusi meliputi artikel peer-reviewed yang diterbitkan pada periode 2016–2025, menggunakan desain kuantitatif atau systematic review, serta secara eksplisit membahas hubungan kepemimpinan transformasional dengan kepuasan kerja perawat. Artikel yang memenuhi kriteria dianalisis secara kritis dan disintesis menggunakan pendekatan naratif berdasarkan kesamaan tujuan, variabel, dan temuan penelitian. Hasil sintesis menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas studi melaporkan hubungan positif dan signifikan antara kepemimpinan transformasional dan kepuasan kerja perawat. Kepemimpinan transformasional terbukti meningkatkan kepuasan kerja melalui mekanisme pemberdayaan perawat, penciptaan lingkungan kerja yang suportif, peningkatan motivasi intrinsik, serta penguatan komitmen organisasi. Selain itu, beberapa studi juga melaporkan dampak tidak langsung berupa penurunan burnout dan niat turnover perawat. Namun demikian, kekuatan hubungan tersebut bervariasi tergantung pada konteks organisasi, budaya kerja, beban kerja, dan dukungan sistem manajemen rumah sakit. Kepemimpinan transformasional efektif dalam meningkatkan kepuasan kerja perawat.
