Abstract

Background: Postoperative hypothermia is a common complication frequently occurring in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. This condition can delay recovery, increase the risk of wound infection, and prolong the length of hospital stay. One method used to maintain the patient's body temperature is the use of a blanket warmer. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of blanket warmer usage in preventing hypothermia in postoperative patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. Methods: This study employed a case study design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach without a control group. The sample consisted of 12 postoperative patients in the Recovery Room of RSUD dr. Tjitrowardojo Purworejo. The patients underwent surgical procedures with spinal anesthesia. The intervention group received blanket warmer therapy for 10 minutes during the postoperative recovery phase. Body temperature was measured before and after the intervention using an axillary thermometer for one minute. Results: The use of a blanket warmer demonstrated a significant increase in patients' body temperature before and after the intervention (p= 0.001, p<0.05). The majority of patients in the intervention group successfully maintained a mean body temperature of 36.32°C. Conclusion: Blanket warmers are effective in preventing hypothermia in postoperative patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. The use of this device is recommended as part of the standard postoperative care to enhance patient comfort and safety.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is increasing globally. Physical exercise, as a preventive and management strategy for NCDs, should be introduced to students at an early stage. Assessing students' level of knowledge regarding physical activity in relation to NCDs is essential as an academic foundation for conducting health promotion in hospital or community settings. Objective: To assess students' knowledge of physical activity in mitigating the risk of NCDs. Methods: This study employs a quasi-experimental with one group pretest-posttest design. The sample consists of 20 active nursing students who will undergo a clinical practice phase. Results: The paired t-test indicate a significant difference in the mean scores before and after the material presentation (p = 0.001; p < 0.05). Statistically, students' knowledge scores regarding physical activity for individuals with NCDs increased by an average of 2.4 points compared to pre-test score. Conclusion: Providing educational material on physical activity for NCDs is highly recommended for nursing students preparing for clinical practice to enhance their knowledge
