Abstract

Acute pain frequently affects post-cesarean section patients and, if left unmanaged, can slow recovery and potentially lead to chronic pain. Non-pharmacological methods like Deep Breathing Relaxation combined with Murottal Al-Quran therapy offer a promising solution to alleviate this pain. This case study examines the effectiveness of these techniques in reducing acute pain post-cesarean section in the Teratai Ward of Dr. Haryoto Regional General Hospital, Lumajang. Therapy involves daily 20-minute sessions of QS Ar-Rahman (78 verses) recited by Qori' Ahmad Saud via MP3. The participant was a patient meeting specific criterion: hospitalized for at least 3 days, with moderate pain levels (NRS score), exhibiting signs such as pain complaints, grimacing, protective behaviors, sleep difficulties, of Islamic faith, and with no hearing impairments. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Results showed a notable reduction in pain over the 3-day intervention, with the NRS score decreasing from 7 (moderate) to 4 (mild), accompanied by reduced grimacing, less protective behavior, and improved sleep quality. This study suggests that combining deep breathing relaxation and Murottal Al-Quran offers significant pain relief for post-cesarean patients. It is practical and cost-effective, allowing it to be easily implemented by nursing staff starting from the first-day post-surgery. These findings highlight a feasible approach for pain management in post-cesarean care, providing an effective and accessible option that aligns with the needs of Islamic patients, ultimately enhancing their comfort and recovery process.

Abstract

Pneumonia can pose a serious threat to children's health. In pneumonia, increased lung secretions obstruct the airways, affecting breathing, especially in children who cannot expel sputum alone. If not treated immediately, this condition can be fatal. This study aimed to provide nursing care for children with nursing problems of ineffective airway clearance with Pursed Lips. Breathing using balloons can help improve gas exchange, which is observed by increasing oxygen saturation in the body and can help expel secretions. Participants in this study were pneumonia patients aged 3-5 years who were treated in the Bougenville Room of Dr. Haryoto Hospital, Lumajang, with nursing problems of Ineffective Airway Clearance and were not allergic to balloons. Data collection used interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the assessment showed that An. A male, 5 years old, has a weak general condition, ineffective cough, sputum, additional breathing sounds of rhonchi, and an increased respiratory rate. The nursing problem that occurred was ineffective airway clearance. The interventions carried out refer to the Indonesian Nursing Intervention Standards (SIKI) intervention, namely airway management, respiratory monitoring, and Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB) actions. To attract children's interest, PLB uses balloons conceptualized as balloon play therapy, whose mechanism is similar to PLB with an atraumatic care approach. After nursing care for 4 days, the goals were achieved. Namely, changes in effective coughing increased, sputum decreased, additional breath sounds were absent, breathing patterns changed, and breathing frequency improved. Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB) can increase alveolar expansion in each lung lobe so that alveolar pressure increases and secretions can be pushed into the airway during expiration. PLB can be carried out to increase knowledge as an innovative intervention in treating children with pneumonia diagnosed with ineffective airway clearance.

Abstract

Lack of sleep can harm the physical, mental, and emotional health, quality of life, cognitive function, and memory function of the elderly. Poor sleep quality can also directly affect health, with the risk of various problems such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, stroke, obesity, heart disease, and several other conditions. Therefore, the need for effective non-pharmacological pain and symptom management strategies during sleep disorders is increasing. One recommended approach is relaxation therapy involving soaking the feet in warm water and jasmine aromatherapy before bedtime. This study aims to evaluate the effects of warm foot baths combined with jasmine aromatherapy on sleep quality and vital signs in older adults with insomnia. Using a case study design, the intervention was given to one participant, an 81-year-old woman diagnosed with moderate insomnia. The participant reported difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking during the night, dissatisfaction with her sleep quality, significant changes in sleep patterns, and insufficient rest. The therapy consisted of warm foot baths with jasmine aromatherapy, performed every night for five consecutive days before bedtime. To assess the effectiveness of the intervention, measurements were taken of changes in the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score, detailed observations of sleep patterns, and general monitoring of vital signs. The study showed a significant decrease in the ISI score from 19 (moderate insomnia) to 8 (mild insomnia). In addition, participants experienced improved sleep quality, characterized by sleeping through the night without waking up, increased sleep satisfaction, and adequate rest. Vital signs showed stabilization during the intervention period, indicating better physiological relaxation. These findings support using warm foot baths and jasmine aromatherapy as an effective nursing intervention to treat insomnia and improve sleep quality in the elderly.
