Abstract

Introduction: Palliative care is needed for various diseases; stroke is one of the neurological diseases that requires palliative care. Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and decreased quality of life due to neurological deficits. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) assesses stroke severity. Stroke can also cause paralysis, resulting in decreased independence in self-care; patients will experience difficulty carrying out daily activities or activities of daily living (ADL) such as walking, dressing, eating, or controlling defecation or urination. Disability due to stroke can affect the patient's quality of life. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stroke severity scale with palliative screening, activities of daily living impairment (ADL), and quality of life. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved sixty stroke patients selected by accidental sampling. The data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment and Spearman Rank Test. Results: This study resulted in 53,3% of respondents suffering from a moderate stroke, 90,0% needing palliative intervention, 56,7% total dependency, and 66,7% can not assess quality of life. Significance level between stroke severity scale with palliative screening ware (p=0,000), ADL impairment (p=0,008), and quality of life (p=0,000). Conclusions: There was a relationship between the stroke severity scale and palliative screening, activities of daily living (ADL) impairment, and quality of life. Further research should simultaneously analyze the risk factors for stroke, the stroke severity scale, and things that are influenced by the severity of the stroke so that it can be seen which variable is more dominant.

Abstract

Hypertension is often referred to as the "silent killer" because it frequently shows no symptoms. In Indonesia, hypertension continues to rise year after year, with the incidence in 2018 reaching 658,201 cases (34.11%). The causes of hypertension are closely related to age and gender factors. Therefore, non-pharmacological nursing interventions are needed to address this, such as the five-finger hypnosis technique. Five-finger hypnosis involves focusing the mind on images or memories created while touching each of the five fingers in sequence, all in a relaxed state. This study aims to analyze the application of five-finger hypnosis in nursing care for hypertensive patients. The research method used is a case study with the implementation of the five-finger hypnosis nursing intervention. The respondents in this study consisted of five participants diagnosed with hypertension. The patients were taught the five-finger hypnosis technique for approximately 15 minutes. The results showed a decrease in blood pressure after the five-finger hypnosis therapy, with the five respondents (100%) showing an average systolic blood pressure of 146 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure of 91.6 mmHg, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 109.74 mmHg. It can be concluded that the five-finger hypnosis therapy is effective in reducing the blood pressure of hypertensive patients. Future researchers are encouraged to extend the duration of five-finger hypnosis therapy for hypertensive patients to achieve a more significant reduction in blood pressure.
