Abstract

Cancer patients usually experience disturbing nausea and vomiting, although they have consumed some medicine before, during, and after chemotherapy. Chemotherapy-induced nausea and Vomiting (CINV) is nausea and vomiting experienced by patients as a result of chemotherapy. CINV is the most significant effect of chemotherapy from the patient’s perspective. CINV is reported as acute, delayed, and combined from both cases. CINV that are not managed properly can cause some problems, such as fluid and electrolyte imbalance, interrupt the next chemotherapy cycle, and decrease productivity and quality of life. Rehospitalization costs caused by CINV in the health care system are high. By the CINV management that is being improved in this time, some patients still experienced nausea and vomiting. Nowadays, non-pharmacological therapy like relaxation techniques is very suggested for patients to relieve CINV. Twenty-five minutes of an audio relaxation technique is effective in decreasing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. One of the audio relaxation techniques is Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). The case report was taken from one of the type A hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia . It consisted of 20 cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy. After doing PMR exercise guided by an educational video on a tablet for 4 days after chemotherapy, it was found that there was a 35% decrease in nausea and vomiting scores; they felt comfortable and more relaxed. The interesting educational video of PMR supports the patients to do the exercise well when done in the hospital or at home. Therefore, preventing or reducing the potential problem caused by nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy can increase the nursing care quality for the cancer patient. The results of this case report indicate that progressive muscle relaxation can reduce nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy.

Abstract

Laboratory activities such as practical courses, research experiments, and sample analyses often generate waste, with liquid effluents being the most prevalent. Proper treatment of these liquid wastes is essential prior to discharge into the environment to prevent contamination. Photocatalysis, a process that employs photon-activated semiconductor oxides, has emerged as a promising approach for wastewater treatment. In this study, bismuth oxide was developed as an alternative photocatalyst capable of operating under both UV and visible light. The material was synthesized via the sol–gel method and subsequently deposited using a spray-coating technique. The fabricated photocatalytic reactor was designed with integrated reaction chambers, control systems, and adjustable light intensity to enhance wastewater purification. Reactor parameters were systematically optimized to establish the most effective configuration for pollutant degradation. Experimental results demonstrated that higher light intensities significantly reduced the absorbance of liquid effluents, indicating a substantial decrease in contaminant concentration. Furthermore, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) of treated wastewater decreased by 24% and 64%, respectively.

Abstract

Nutritional deficiency in children under five years old can affect their brain development. At the national level, the percentage of nutritional deficiency-malnutrition cases in 2013 reached 19.3 %. This research aimed to find out the effect of nutrition counseling on the knowledge and parenting of the mothers of with nutritional deficiency in the operational area of Puskesmas Rapak Mahang. The method used in this research was quasi experiment with nonequivalent control group design. In this research used 30 respondents for experiment and control group. The method for determined respondent was nonprobability sampling with accidental sampling, The instrument that used in this research was questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using statistical analysis of Wilcoxon at the significance level of 0.05. The result of statistical analysis showed that there was an effect of nutrition counseling on the knowledge about nutrition (p value = 0.001) and there was an effect of nutrition counseling on the parenting of the mothers in the experimental group (p value = 0.001). It is suggested that nutrition counseling be given at Posyandu (Integrated Service Post) so that the mothers of balita who do not visit the Puskesmas will get nutrition counseling.
