Abstract

Introduction: Phlebitis, or inflammation of the veins, is a complication of intravenous (IV) therapy that can be caused by chemical substances, mechanical factors (such as IV equipment), or infections (due to microbial colonies from the catheter). It is characterized by pain, erythema, swelling, induration, and sometimes fever. Phlebitis can lead to further complications or worsen the patient’s condition, potentially extending their hospital stay. Managing phlebitis can be achieved through both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, such as the use of aloe vera gel. Objective: This study aims to identify the effect of aloe vera gel therapy on reducing the level of phlebitis in pediatric patients. Method: The research design used a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design or non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The population consists of pediatric patients with IV infusions. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 58 children as the research sample. Data collection was conducted using observation sheets and then processed and analyzed using data processing applications with open-source statistical computer software jamovi version 2.4.8. The analysis test used the Wilcoxon-W test. Results: The study results showed a standard deviation average decrease in phlebitis levels among pediatric patients. The analysis test results revealed a P-value of 0.001 < 0.05 with an effect size of 1.00, indicating that aloe vera gel therapy significantly reduces phlebitis in children. Conclusion: There is a significant effect of aloe vera gel therapy before and after administration in the intervention group, and a significant difference between the intervention and control groups after the administration of aloe vera gel. So aloe vera gel is effective in treating phlebitis in children

Abstract

Diabetes cases continue to increase and burden the nursing system worldwide. Diabetes Self-Management application software (DSM apps) can enable patients to manage their disease independently while simultaneously reducing the burden of the system. These apps are already available, yet global patients’ interests in using them are still low. This study aimed to describe the global tendencies of diabetes apps usage as an effort to manage diabetes cases by exploring the perceptions of diabetes patients on the use of DSM apps. This study summarized journal searches from the Elsevier, Wiley, BMC, and JMIR database with the search terms “web-based and mobile technology,” “digital health intervention,” “diabetes management mobile application,” “mobile health for diabetes self-management,” “tablet-based self-management,” and “diabetes self-management qualitative.” A total of nine journals published between January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020, that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. The study concludes diabetic patients in Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and America stated that the DSM apps used was helpful in managing diabetes. Other demographic factors such as age, level of education, and economic status have influenced the perception and tendency to use the DSM apps.
