Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that manifests as a persistent elevation in blood glucose levels. This study aims to analyze the effect of a combination of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) and Olive Oil on the reduction of random blood glucose (RBG) levels in diabetes mellitus patients in the working area of Baregbeg Health Center, Ciamis. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 60 respondents were involved and proportionally divided into the intervention group and the control group. Participants in the intervention group were given a combination of VCO and Olive Oil at a dose of 25 ml/day for 7 days, while the control group continued their daily activities without any additional intervention. Measurement of GDS levels was conducted on the first and seventh days to monitor changes longitudinally. Based on the Wilcoxon statistical test, a statistically significant decrease in blood glucose levels was found in the intervention group with a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). On the contrary, the control group tended to experience an increase. It is concluded that the combination of VCO and Olive Oil significantly affects the reduction of blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus and has the potential to be used as a complementary therapy.

Abstract

Gout arthritis is a form of joint inflammation caused by the accumulation of urate crystals, resulting in pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Non-pharmacological therapy such as soursop (Annona muricata) juice, which contains antioxidants and xanthine oxidase inhibitors, may help reduce uric acid levels. This case study was conducted on Mr. A, a patient with gout arthritis living in Palasari Hamlet, Sukahurip Village, Ciamis. The intervention consisted of daily soursop juice administration for five consecutive days, with monitoring of uric acid levels and pain symptoms. After treatment, uric acid decreased slightly from 8.7 mg/dL to 8.6 mg/dL, accompanied by reduced pain and swelling. Although the reduction was minimal, soursop juice showed potential as a safe, low-cost complementary therapy for gout arthritis management in family settings.

Abstract

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder that remains a major public health concern, particularly in areas with high pollution levels. One of the most frequent nursing problems among asthma patients is ineffective airway clearance caused by mucus retention. Effective cough training is a non-pharmacological nursing intervention aimed at facilitating secretion removal and improving respiratory function. This case study evaluated the effectiveness of cough training in improving airway clearance in an asthma patient treated in the emergency department. A descriptive case study design using the nursing care process assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation was applied. Data were collected through interviews, physical examinations, observations, and documentation for two days. The intervention consisted of deep nasal inhalation for four seconds, breath-holding for two seconds, exhalation through pursed lips for eight seconds, followed by a controlled cough. After two days, improvements were observed in respiratory rate (from 26 to 22 breaths per minute), oxygen saturation (from 90% to 95%), and mucus expectoration. The patient was able to perform the technique independently after education and guided practice. These findings indicate that effective cough training is a simple, evidence-based nursing intervention that enhances airway clearance and oxygenation and should be integrated into emergency asthma care to prevent complications.

Abstract

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent joint inflammation, pain, stiffness, and decreased functional ability, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Chronic pain is one of the primary nursing problems experienced by individuals with RA. Rheumatic exercise is a non-pharmacological intervention that can improve joint flexibility, muscle strength, and functional mobility while reducing pain intensity. Family involvement is essential in supporting the continuity of nursing interventions at home. Objective: This case study aimed to describe the implementation of rheumatic exercise in managing chronic pain in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis through family nursing care. Method: his descriptive case study applied the family nursing process, including assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The subject was a female patient diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis who experienced chronic pain, joint stiffness, and limitations in daily activities. Rheumatic exercise was performed once daily for approximately 15 minutes over three consecutive days, accompanied by education and active family participation to encourage independent exercise practice at home. Result: The patient's pain intensity gradually decreased from a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score of 5 before the intervention to 4 on the first day, 2 on the second day, and 0 on the third day. Improvements were also observed in joint mobility, physical function, and the patient's confidence in performing daily activities. Family members demonstrated adequate knowledge and skills to support the continuation of rheumatic exercise at home. Conclusion: The implementation of rheumatic exercise within family nursing care effectively reduced chronic pain and improved functional mobility in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. This intervention is simple, safe, cost-effective, and may serve as an effective complementary nursing strategy for chronic pain management in community and home care settings.
