Abstract

Coronary angiography, a critical diagnostic tool for coronary artery disease, often results in post-procedural pain that affects patient recovery and satisfaction. Acupressure, a non-invasive technique rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, has shown promise in reducing pain by stimulating endorphin release and enhancing physiological responses. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure in managing pain among patients undergoing coronary angiography. Four databases (Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, and ScienceDirect) were searched for relevant articles published between 2020 and 2025, using keywords such as "acupressure," "pain," and "coronary angiography." Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines were used to assess study quality. Seven randomized controlled trials involving 774 participants were included. All studies reported significant pain reduction after acupressure interventions (p < 0.05), with durations ranging from 15 to 120 minutes at points like LI4 and PC6. Acupressure not only reduced pain but also stabilized vital signs and reduced anxiety. These findings suggest that acupressure is an effective intervention for post-coronary angiography pain, providing a strong basis for its integration into clinical practice. Further research is needed to standardize protocols and explore long-term effects.

Abstract

Uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells is the underlying cause of cancer in patients. This community service aimed to enhance cancer patients' knowledge and understanding of pain management using an autogenic relaxation technique incorporating specific movements and guided suggestions. The method involved demonstrations and health education sessions. This activity was attended by 30 cancer patients aged >18 years undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The study results indicated a 37.3% improvement in the participants' knowledge and understanding of the provided pain management education, increasing from 50% to 87.3%. The application of autogenic relaxation techniques effectively reduced pain intensity, and patients demonstrated increased independence in performing these techniques. Consequently, the quality of life for cancer patients undergoing treatment can be optimized.

Abstract

Cancer remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality globally. The disease itself and its treatments often lead to significant challenges that negatively impact patients' quality of life. The objective of this community service initiative was to enhance the knowledge and understanding of cancer patients regarding their nutritional needs through a focused educational program. The method employed was a health education approach that included demonstrations. The activity involved 30 cancer patients, all over 18 years of age, who were undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The results showed a significant improvement in the participants' quality of life, specifically in their knowledge and understanding of nutrition. The pre-intervention score of 50% increased to 87.3% post-intervention, representing a 37.3% improvement. This demonstrates that the application of education on nutritional management can effectively improve patients' nutritional status. A good nutritional status is expected to enhance the overall quality of life for cancer patients undergoing medical treatment, as they are better equipped to implement nutritional management strategies in line with their health conditions and medical recommendations.

Abstract

The increase in adolescent sexual activity puts adolescents at risk of experiencing sexual violence, including on campus. Several universities have made efforts to prevent and address sexual violence on campus. This study aimed to compile a Collaboration Strategy of college with Indonesian Family Planning Association with College in East Java in the prevention and handling of Sexual Violence among adolescents. The design qualitative method with a Focus Group Discussion approach. This focus group discussion was attended by prevention and handling of Sexual Violence on adolescents’ experts from Indonesian family planning association, and lecturers from 4 universities in East Java, namely from Jember University, Bina Sehat PPNI Mojokerto University, Institute of Health Science Ar-Rahmah Gempol Pasuruan and health sciences Surya Mitra Husada Kediri Kediri. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with 4 informants. Triangulation was carried out on 3 informants from Indonesian family planning association. The research instrument was the researcher himself and the Focus Group Discussion guidelines. The data analysis used data reduction, data presentation, data verification, and data validity testing. The informant's university of origin stated that it had implemented efforts to prevent and handle sexual violence against adolescents and had reported the implementation to Belmawa Information System. The obstacles faced were the limited number of expert human resources, partners, and information media. The recommendation from the Focus Group Discussion was a collaborative strategy between Universities and Indonesian family planning association in efforts to prevent and handle sexual violence against adolescents on campus.
