Abstract

Abstract. When assisting unconscious victims, the ability to perform High Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (HQ-CPR) is critical for optimizing rescue efforts. However, many factors contribute to achieving HQ-CPR, including the helper's BMI (body mass index). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between BMI and HQ-CPR proficiency. This study uses a correlational methodology. 101 nursing students from the Institut Teknologi, Sains, Dan Kesehatan (ITSK) RS Dr. Soepraoen who took part in Basic Trauma Cardiac Life Support (BTCLS) training in 2021 made up the population of this study. Purposive sampling was the sampling technique utilized, and 91 people were included in the sample. The BMI score of each CPR assistant serves as the independent variable in this study. The capacity for HQ-CPR is the dependent variable. On September 25 and 26, 2021, this study was conducted at ITSK RS Dr. Soepraoen. Given that the Kolmogorov-Smirnov correlation test analysis yielded a p-value of 0.000, it is possible to draw the conclusion that a person's BMI and their capacity to conduct HQ-CPR are related. The study's findings support the notion that a person's BMI has an impact on their capacity to execute HQ-CPR. A respondent who has a BMI in the mild to severe obesity range or a respondent with a BMI of extreme thinness is less likely to be able to conduct HQ-CPR than a respondent with a normal or mildly obese BMI. HQ-CPR is often maintained for the first two minutes of CPR by CPR providers with normal BMI. The fitness and weariness of a person are influenced by their BMI. A person with a healthy BMI usually has superior endurance because their heart and breathing processes, among other organ functions, are stronger.

Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by the SARS-CoV-19 virus and impacts the appearance of anosmia symptoms. Anosmia impacts reducing appetite, so it impacts fulfilling the nutritional needs of COVID-19 patients. This study aims to determine the effect of anosmia on the nutritional status of COVID-19 patients. Methods: This study is an observational study with a retrospective cohort design. The samples of this study were 48 health record data of COVID-19 patients who experienced anosmia in Karangploso View Housing, Malang Regency, from July to December 2021, selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The independent variable in this study is the incidence of anosmia felt by residents. The dependent variable is residents' Body Mass Index (BMI) before and after recovering from COVID-19 infection. This study was conducted from July 15 to August 11, 2023. Research data analysis using the SPSS version 22 program using the paired T-test and Wilcoxon test with α = 5%. Results: The paired T-test results on the weight variable showed a significant difference in the patient's weight between before and after COVID-19 illness with symptoms of anosmia (p-value = 0.000). The results of the Wilcoxon Test on the BMI variable showed a significant difference in the nutritional status (BMI) of respondents between before and after COVID-19 illness with symptoms of anosmia (p-value = 0.000). Conclusion: The condition of anosmia alters a person's food preferences, resulting in the perception of certain foods as less pleasant, bland, and unappealing. This condition results in loss of appetite, inadequate nutrient intake, and potential malnutrition. Self-efforts to prevent malnutrition due to anosmia in COVID-19 patients: using aromatic herbs and spices, eating small and frequent meals, modifying food texture and color seasoning, and consulting a dietician to develop a balanced and nutrient-rich meal plan.
