Abstract

The ageing process brings many physical, psychological, social and spiritual changes to older people. Psychological and social changes include a different work rhythm due to retirement, loss of friends and partners, fear and anxiety about death, loneliness, etc. This leads to the risk of anxiety and depression in older people. Depression or psychosocial disorders affect older people physically and might reduce their quality of life. Therefore, in order to prevent and overcome these problems, an intervention is needed through laughter therapy. This community service activity consists of five stages, starting from problem identification to program sustainability follow-up. The participants of this activity were 37 elderly members of the hypertension class of Kalasan Puskesmas Area. The activity method consists of 5 stages. The elderly are empowered to practice laughter therapy, which is evaluated using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) questionnaire. The results of the activity showed that the elderly had the ability to perform the therapy independently and that the results of the activity were able to reduce depression levels. In the pre-test assessment, 14.3% of respondents in the middle-aged group exhibited a severe level of depression. Meanwhile, the elderly and young-old groups demonstrated moderate levels of depression, with prevalence rates of 21.1% and 27.3%, respectively. Post-test findings indicated a positive shift across all three groups, with a reduction in depression severity. The proportion of individuals experiencing moderate depression decreased to 14.3% in the middle-aged group, 5.3% in the elderly group, and 9.1% in the young-old group.

Abstract

According to Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data from the last 12 years, the prevalence of strokes in Indonesia is still relatively high. Hypertension prevention aims to keep blood pressure under control. Non-pharmacological management is also required to supplement pharmacological therapy. Deep breathing exercises and head-up 30 degrees are two interventions that can be implemented. This study aimed to measure the influence of deep breathing exercises and head up 30 degrees on stroke patients’ oxygen saturation and blood pressure. This research used a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design involving the recruitment of 60 respondents using a consecutive sampling technique. Head-up 30-degree positions and continuous deep breathing were measured using a digital sphygmomanometer, protractor, and oximeter. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney. The results showed that there was a significant difference in systolic blood pressure which was p=0.000 (p <0.005), and oxygen saturation showed p=0.001 (p <0.005). But there was no significant difference in diastolic blood pressure which was p=0.836 (p> 0.005). Deep breathing exercises and head-ups 30 degrees help control blood pressure in stroke patients.

Abstract

Background: Currently, many nurses experience stress because they have a lot of work. Even though the impact of stress on nurses can affect health services to patients. Therefore, a tool is needed to measure the level of stress at work in nurses.Purpose: The purpose of this research is to transcribe and cross validate the NOSS-21 into Indonesian, and conduct psychometric tests on nurses in Indonesia.Methods: The study used quantitative methods. This study used Brislin's Classic Model for translation and validation. Tests conducted using Pearson product moment and Cronbach Alpha as a construct test. The sample used amounted to 168 nurses who worked for at least 1 year in Islamic hospitals in Yogyakarta. Respondents who were excluded were nurses who worked in polyclinics and pediatric wards.Result: Based on the results, the average value of I-CVI is 1.00, while based on the Pearson product moment test, it can be seen that 18 items are considered valid and 3 items are invalid. Although 3 items were invalid, but based on the importance of the questionnaire domain, the researcher decided to include these 3 items in the study. The reliability of the questionnaire is strongly reliable as the value is 0.899.Conclusion: The Indonesian Nurses' Occupational Stressor Scale 21 (INOSS-21) questionnaire can be used as a questionnaire to measure nurses' occupational stress. The limitation of this study is that the study respondents were only from Islamic hospitals. In addition, not all nurses were included in the study, for example, polyclinic and pediatric ward nurses were excluded.
