Measurement of toddler nutritional status is carried out every week for 1 month, both before and after the intervention based on BB/TB then converted into a z-score values. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney bivariate test and GLM-RM multivariate analysis. The results showed that there was an average difference between the intervention and control groups of 14.55 with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). The difference in nutritional status of toddlers in the intervention group was seen in the 4th measurement (1 month of intervention) with a p-value of 0.027 (<0.05). It can be concluded that there is an effect of providing feeding rules education on the nutritional status of toddlers at the Cipondoh Health Center, Tangerang City.

Abstract

Gout arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease caused by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals resulting from hyperuricemia. It is characterized by joint pain, swelling, redness, stiffness, and limited mobility, which may reduce patients' quality of life. In addition to pharmacological treatment, acupressure is a complementary non-pharmacological therapy that may help relieve pain through stimulation of specific acupressure points. This case study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure therapy as a complementary nursing intervention in reducing pain among patients with gout arthritis within the context of family nursing care. This case study involved one family with a member diagnosed with gout arthritis. Acupressure therapy was administered over three sessions by stimulating the SP6 (Sanyinjiao), LV3 (Taichong), LI4 (Hegu), KI1 (Yongquan), and KI3 (Taixi) points. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, physical assessment, pain measurement using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and serum uric acid measurements. Family caregiving ability and independence in performing acupressure were assessed through direct observation. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing changes across the three sessions. Pain intensity decreased from 5 (moderate pain) to 2 (mild pain), while serum uric acid levels decreased from 6.8 mg/dL to 3.5 mg/dL. Improvements were also observed in joint swelling, stiffness, mobility, comfort, treatment adherence, and family independence in performing acupressure and providing home-based care. Acupressure therapy may serve as a beneficial complementary nursing intervention for reducing pain, improving physical condition, and enhancing family independence in caring for patients with gout arthritis.
