Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic disease characterized by an increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure above 140/100 mmHg. Hypertension with not controlled management will have an impact on the emergence of various complications including stroke, kidney failure, heart disease. Currently conventional therapy for hypertension uses drugs such as captopril, but continuous drug administration can cause adverse side effects from the drug. Acupressure therapy is a relatively inexpensive complementary therapy and tends not to have side effects like chemical drugs. Objective: This study aims to identify the effect of acupressure therapy on blood pressure in hypertensive clients. Methods: The research method used is pre-experimental. Respondents who participated in this study were 12 respondents who were residents at Kelurahan Utama, Kecamatan Cimahi Selatan. Acupressure therapy is given by massage using fingers at points ST 36, LR 3, Li 4 for 30 minutes with a massage strength of 3 kg. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using the wilcoxon test. Results: The results showed that the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure before treatment was 153.33/94.17 mmHg, systolic and diastolic blood pressure after treatment was 142.83/88.50 mmHg. Conclusion: There is an effect of acupressure therapy on reducing blood pressure (p value = 0.006) in hypertensive clients. It is recommended for hypertensive clients to continue acupressure therapy in an effort to reduce high blood pressure

Abstract

Background: The post-pandemic period of covid 19, the biggest cause of loss of income for parents of students, this can make students experience distress and depression. Symptoms of depressive disorders in adolescent students will have an impact on almost all activities on campus and will get worse if left untreated. the recommended form of treatment is complementary therapy such as acupressure therapy.Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of acupressure on depressive symptoms among nursing students.Method: Quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest one group design measuring depression using Beck Depression Inventory parameters, sample calculation using the Slovin formula, the number of samples used in this study were 20 participants.Results: The average BDI score before acupressure was 26.80 in the moderate depression category, the average BDI score after acupressure was 19.00 in the mild depression category. The results of the statistical test obtained a p value = 0.001 <0.05 which means that acupressure is effective in reducing depression levels.Conclusion: After undergoing acupressure tonification massage therapy 30 times per session, 3 sessions per week for 4 consecutive weeks, it can reduce the level of depression.

Abstract

Background: Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by bronchial narrowing and hyperresponsiveness, leading to episodic dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing. In addition to pharmacological therapy, non-pharmacological interventions such as the Tripod Position and Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise may improve respiratory status in acute exacerbations. Purpose: To evaluate the effect of combining Tripod Position and Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise on respiratory status in a patient with acute bronchial asthma. Method: A descriptive case study using a nursing approach was conducted. Data collection included interviews, observation, physical examination, literature review, and documentation analysis. Results: The patient presented with dyspnea, respiratory rate of 28 breaths/min, SpO₂ 88%, tachypnea, nasal flaring, and wheezing. The primary nursing diagnosis was ineffective airway clearance. After 15 minutes of combined Tripod Position and Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise, respiratory rate decreased to 26 breaths/min, SpO₂ improved to 92%, and dyspnea severity reduced to a score of 3. Conclusion: The combination of Tripod Position and Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise improved respiratory parameters in acute bronchial asthma. This non-pharmacological intervention may serve as an adjunct to pharmacological therapy in nursing practice. Keywords: Acute Bronchial Asthma; Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercis; Respiratory status; Tripod position. Pendahuluan: Asma bronkial merupakan penyakit inflamasi kronis pada saluran napas yang ditandai dengan penyempitan dan hiperresponsivitas bronkus, sehingga menimbulkan gejala episodik berupa sesak napas, mengi, rasa berat di dada, dan batuk. Selain terapi farmakologis, intervensi non-farmakologis seperti Posisi Tripod dan Latihan Pernapasan Diafragma dapat membantu memperbaiki status respirasi pada kondisi eksaserbasi akut. Tujuan: Untuk Mengevaluasi efek kombinasi posisi tripod dan latihan pernapasan diafragma terhadap status respirasi pada pasien dengan asma bronkial akut. Metode: Penelitian menggunakan desain studi kasus deskriptif dengan pendekatan keperawatan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi, pemeriksaan fisik, kajian literatur, dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil: Pasien dengan asma bronkial akut menunjukkan sesak napas, frekuensi napas 28 kali/menit, SpO₂ 88%, takipnea, napas cuping hidung, serta bunyi tambahan berupa mengi. Diagnosis keperawatan utama adalah bersihan jalan napas tidak efektif. Setelah intervensi kombinasi Posisi Tripod dan Latihan Pernapasan Diafragma selama 15 menit, frekuensi napas menurun menjadi 26 kali/menit, SpO₂ meningkat menjadi 92%, dan tingkat sesak napas menurun menjadi skor 3 (sedang). Simpulan: Kombinasi Posisi Tripod dan Latihan Pernapasan Diafragma terbukti memperbaiki parameter respirasi pada pasien dengan asma bronkial akut. Intervensi non-farmakologis ini dapat dijadikan terapi tambahan yang mendukung manajemen farmakologis dalam praktik keperawatan Kata Kunci: Asma Bronkial Akut; Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise; Tripod Position Status pernafasan.
