Abstract

Background: Ineffective management of postoperative pain can delay recovery, increase the risk of complications, and extend the length of hospital stay. Fast Track Surgery (FTS) is a multidisciplinary approach that speeds up recovery and reduces postoperative pain effectively. However, studies on the effectiveness of nursing-based FTS interventions in regional hospitals are still limited. This study examines the effectiveness of an innovative nursing-based FTS approach in reducing pain intensity among postoperative patients. Methods: This quasi-experimental study used purposive sampling and involved 30 participants, divided into intervention and control groups. The study was conducted at TK III Dr. R. Soeharsono Hospital in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. Inclusion criteria were patients aged 18 to 65 years, postoperative, able to communicate well, and willing to participate. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and two hours after the Fast Track Surgery intervention. The nursing-based FTS intervention included preoperative education, early mobilization, and multimodal analgesia management. The study was reported following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines to ensure clarity and completeness. Results: Most participants were between 19 and 44 years old, 60% were male, and the majority had completed high school. Before the intervention, patients mainly reported moderate to severe pain; after the FTS intervention, most reported mild pain. Pain intensity was significantly different between the intervention and control groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The nursing-based Fast Track Surgery approach effectively reduces postoperative pain intensity. It is recommended that nurse-led FTS protocols be implemented in regional hospitals to improve pain management and accelerate patient recovery.

Abstract

Background: Emergency care services in Indonesia continue to face challenges in quickly identifying patients who are critically ill, which contributes to the high mortality rates in Emergency Departments (ED). While the Early Warning Score (EWS) has been proven effective for early detection of patient deterioration, there are limited studies on its implementation in Indonesian EDs, particularly in provincial hospitals. This highlights a gap in research that needs further attention. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group at Dr. H. Moch Ansari Saleh Regional General Hospital, Banjarmasin. Twenty-three ED nurses participated. We measured nurse responsiveness by examining how quickly and accurately they took clinical actions after monitoring EWS. A prototype guideline for using EWS was also developed and integrated into the hospital’s ED reporting system. The research followed CONSORT guidelines for quasi-experimental studies. Results: Most participants were female (60.9%), aged between 19 and 44 years (95.7%), with the majority holding a Diploma III in nursing (65.2%). Before introducing the EWS, 83.3% of nurses in the intervention group responded in one minute or longer, with only 25% accuracy. After the EWS implementation, 91.7% responded in under one minute, with 91.7% accuracy. In the control group, one-minute or longer response times remained high at 90.9%, and accuracy improved slightly from 18.2% to 27.3%. Statistical tests showed significant improvement in response time (p = 0.007) and accuracy (p = 0.005) in the intervention group. Conclusion: Introducing the Early Warning Score improved nurses’ responsiveness in the ED, making their clinical actions faster and more accurate. Integrating EWS into daily practice with clear guidelines can help enable timely interventions and improve patient safety during emergency care.

Abstract

Acute stroke is a medical emergency that can lead to permanent disability or death if not managed promptly and appropriately. In Wanaraya District, high population density, limited access to health care services, and low levels of health literacy contribute to suboptimal community preparedness in recognizing early signs of stroke and providing first aid. Despite strong social potential, such as the presence of community health volunteers and a culture of mutual cooperation, the community’s ability to identify stroke symptoms and respond rapidly remains limited. This activity aims to improve community knowledge and skills in recognizing the signs and symptoms of acute stroke and in providing timely, appropriate, and safe first aid through simulation-based emergency training. The program is expected to strengthen community preparedness and self-reliance in managing daily health emergencies, particularly acute stroke cases. In addition, this activity supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Goal 3 on good health and well-being and contributes to strengthening the role of higher education institutions in community service activities.

Abstract

Hypoglycemia is an emergency condition that frequently occurs in individuals with Diabetes Mellitus and may lead to decreased consciousness and life-threatening complications if not managed promptly and appropriately. In Belawang District, high population density, limited access to healthcare services, and low health literacy have resulted in inadequate community preparedness to provide first aid for hypoglycemic events. Despite strong social potential, such as active community health volunteers and a culture of mutual cooperation, the community’s ability to recognize symptoms and deliver initial assistance remains limited. This activity aims to improve community knowledge and skills in recognizing the signs of hypoglycemia and providing timely, appropriate, and safe first aid through simulation-based emergency training. The program is expected to strengthen community preparedness and self-reliance in managing daily emergencies, particularly hypoglycemia. Furthermore, this activity supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 on good health and well-being and contributes to strengthening the role of higher education institutions in community service.

Abstract

Hypoglycemia is an emergency condition in individuals with diabetes mellitus that can lead to decreased consciousness and even death if not managed promptly and appropriately. A low level of community knowledge and preparedness in recognizing the signs and symptoms and in providing first aid for hypoglycemia constitutes a major risk factor for the development of complications. This activity aimed to improve the preparedness of the Basirih Village community in providing first aid for hypoglycemic events through health education. This activity employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach involving an intervention group and a control group. The sample consisted of residents of Basirih Village selected using purposive sampling. The measured variable was community preparedness in hypoglycemia first aid, encompassing knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The research instruments included standardized questionnaires and skill observation checklists. Data analysis was conducted by comparing pretest and posttest scores in both groups. The results demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, skills, and overall preparedness scores in the intervention group after the provision of health education (p < 0.001). In contrast, no significant differences were observed between pretest and posttest scores in the control group (p > 0.05). These findings indicate that health education has a significant effect on improving community preparedness in providing first aid for hypoglycemia. It can be concluded that health education is effective in enhancing the preparedness of the Basirih Village community toward hypoglycemic events. This activity is recommended to be implemented continuously as a promotive and preventive effort to reduce hypoglycemia-related complications at the community level.

Abstract

Acute stroke is a neurological emergency that requires prompt management, as delays can result in permanent brain damage and even death. In Kelayan Subdistrict, community knowledge regarding the signs, symptoms, and initial actions for acute stroke remains low, which increases the risk of delayed treatment. Therefore, health education is necessary to enhance community preparedness in recognizing and responding to stroke appropriately. This study aimed to analyze the effect of health education on community preparedness in providing initial actions for acute stroke in Kelayan Subdistrict. The study employed a pre-experimental one group pretest–posttest design involving intervention and control groups, with interventions including counseling, leaflets and posters, and demonstrations of the FAST method. Community preparedness was measured before and after the intervention using questionnaires on knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, skills, and overall preparedness scores in the intervention group following the health education program (p < 0.001), whereas the control group showed no significant changes (p > 0.05). These findings indicate that health education effectively enhances the community’s ability to recognize stroke signs and symptoms and take timely and appropriate initial actions. In conclusion, health education effectively improves the preparedness of the Kelayan Subdistrict community in responding to acute stroke and is recommended to be implemented routinely as a promotive and preventive measure to support early detection and timely response to stroke at the community level.
