Abstract

Workload refers to a series of tasks that must be completed within a specific timeframe, involving both physical and mental abilities. An imbalance between job demands and an individual’s capacity can trigger work-related stress, particularly among nurses. This study aims to analyze the relationship between workload and stress levels among nurses at Kraton Regional General Hospital in Pekalongan Regency. The study employed a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 58 inpatient nurses selected using total sampling according to inclusion criteria. The instruments used were the Nurse Workload Questionnaire and the Extended Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS). Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate methods with the Spearman Rank test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a moderate workload (50%) and moderate stress levels (48.3%). Bivariate analysis revealed a positive and significant relationship between workload and nurses’ stress levels (r = 0.529; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that an increase in workload contributes to higher stress levels among nurses.

Abstract

Preoperative anxiety is a common psychological response to concerns about surgery, anesthesia, and possible complications. Finger-gripping relaxation is a simple non-pharmacological technique that may help reduce anxiety and promote psychological readiness before surgery. This study aimed to determine the effect of finger-gripping relaxation on anxiety levels among preoperative patients at RSUD Limpung. A descriptive case study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving five preoperative patients. Anxiety was assessed using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) before and after finger-gripping relaxation, administered once daily for approximately 15 minutes over two consecutive days. Data were collected through interviews, observations, physical assessments, questionnaires, and documentation. Before the intervention, one respondent (20%) experienced severe anxiety and four (80%) experienced moderate anxiety, with a mean APAIS score of 17.2. After the intervention, four respondents (80%) experienced mild anxiety and one (20%) experienced moderate anxiety, with the mean score decreasing to 14.2. All respondents showed decreased APAIS scores, with a mean reduction of 3.0 points. These findings indicate that finger-gripping relaxation was associated with reduced preoperative anxiety and may serve as a practical complementary nursing intervention. Further studies with larger samples and control groups are needed.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that can impair respiratory function and reduce oxygen saturation. Benson relaxation therapy represents a simple non-pharmacological approach that combines relaxation, controlled breathing, and focused concentration to support physiological comfort and oxygenation. This study aimed to describe the application of Benson relaxation therapy in improving oxygen saturation among pulmonary TB patients at Warungasem Public Health Center, Batang. A descriptive case study design was applied involving five pulmonary TB patients who met the predetermined inclusion criteria. Benson relaxation therapy was administered for 10–15 minutes per session over three consecutive days, while oxygen saturation was measured before and after the intervention using a pulse oximeter. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing individual and mean oxygen saturation values before and after therapy. Before the intervention, all participants had mild hypoxemia, with oxygen saturation values ranging from 90% to 92% and a mean of 91.2%. After the intervention, oxygen saturation increased to a range of 94%–96%, with a mean of 95.2%, and four participants reached the normal category. All participants experienced an increase of four percentage points. These findings indicate a consistent descriptive improvement following Benson relaxation therapy and support its potential use as a simple complementary nursing intervention for pulmonary TB patients.

Abstract

Preoperative anxiety can influence patients’ psychological and physiological conditions and may interfere with optimal preparation for surgical procedures. Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) is a non-pharmacological intervention integrating spiritual elements with tapping techniques to promote relaxation and emotional regulation. This study aimed to evaluate changes in anxiety levels following SEFT among preoperative patients at RSKB Columbia Asia Semarang. An empirical descriptive case-study design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was conducted involving five preoperative patients who met the inclusion criteria. Anxiety was assessed using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) before and after one SEFT session lasting approximately 10–15 minutes through set-up, tune-in, and tapping stages. Descriptive analysis compared individual and aggregate anxiety scores before and after intervention. All five participants experienced reductions of 6–9 APAIS points. The total score decreased from 109 to 72, while the mean decreased from 21.8 to 14.4. Before intervention, three patients had severe anxiety, one had moderate anxiety, and one had panic anxiety; afterward, four had moderate anxiety and one had mild anxiety. These findings indicate that SEFT was associated with consistently reduced preoperative anxiety and may serve as a complementary nursing intervention for psychological preparation before surgery.

Abstract

Critically ill patients experiencing dysfunction in one or more organs are highly dependent on hemodynamic monitoring equipment and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) therapy. Autogenic relaxation is one of the non-pharmacological therapy options that can help stabilize the hemodynamic status of patients because it can provide a relaxing effect, reduce mild to moderate physical and psychological stress and tension, and provide comfort so that hemodynamics become stable. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of autogenic relaxation on the hemodynamics of patients in the ICU at Permata Medika Hospital in Semarang. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test non-equivalent control group design, providing a 10-minute autogenic relaxation intervention twice a day for 2 days to the intervention group. Hemodynamics were measured on the first day before the intervention and on the last day after the intervention. Meanwhile, in the control group, hemodynamic measurements were only taken on the first day and the last day using a bedside monitor and observation sheet. The research population consisted of patients treated in the ICU of Permata Medika Hospital in Semarang, with a sample size of 30 people divided into intervention and control groups. The sampling method was accidental sampling. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test because the results of the normality test showed that the data were not normally distributed. The results of the study showed p-values for systolic blood pressure of 0.340 and diastolic blood pressure of 0.693, pulse of 0.803, respiration of 0.835, body temperature of 0.815, and oxygen saturation of 0.963, indicating no significant difference in hemodynamic status between the intervention group and the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that autogenic relaxation has no effect on the hemodynamics of patients in the ICU at Permata Medika Hospital in Semarang. These results are likely due to the small and non-heterogeneous sample size. Therefore, further research with a larger and more heterogeneous sample size is needed.
