Abstract

Background: Pain management treatments can be performed using pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. Non-pharmacological therapies are used as support for pharmacological therapies to reduce the duration of pain episodes that are short in nature, lasting for a few seconds or minutes. Some forms of non-pharmacological treatment are through deep breath relaxation techniques, changes in body position, massage, hot-cold therapy, and finger grip relaxation. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of the application of finger grip relaxation in reducing pain intensity in patients with acute pain after appendectomy surgery. Method: This study uses descriptive research with a case report design in the form of nursing care, by applying EBN (evidence based nursing) to one subject. The research subject was a 21-year-old man who experienced acute pain due to postoperative appendectomy. Data was collected through interview & observation methods. Results: After three interventions with a frequency of 1x/day, there was a significant decrease in pain intensity from 7 to 2. Conclusion: This shows that there is an effective application of finger grip relaxation to reduce pain intensity in patients post appendectomy surgery. With this study, it is hoped that it can increase knowledge and be used as a useful reference source regarding finger grip relaxation interventions in acute pain problems in postoperative appendectomy patients.   Keywords: Appendectomy; Finger Grip Relaxation; Pain.   Pendahuluan: Penanganan pengelolaan nyeri dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode farmakologis dan nonfarmakologis.

Abstract

Lanjut usia merupakan kelompok rentan yang berisiko mengalami stres akibat perubahan fisik, psikologis, dan sosial. Keterbatasan aktivitas serta kurangnya interaksi sosial di panti werdha seringkali memperburuk kondisi tersebut. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan psikologis lansia melalui terapi berkebun sebagai salah satu pendekatan nonfarmakologis untuk menurunkan tingkat stres. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Panti Werdha Asuhan Bunda Bandung, sebanyak 24 lansia, dengan metode pelatihan berkebun, dan praktik langsung yang disesuaikan dengan kemampuan fisik lansia. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan pengukuran tingkat stres menggunakan kuesioner DASS sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya penurunan tingkat stres, peningkatan semangat, serta keterlibatan aktif lansia dalam kegiatan berkebun. Terapi berkebun terbukti memberikan manfaat tidak hanya secara psikologis tetapi juga meningkatkan kualitas hidup lansia. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi program berkelanjutan di panti werdha sebagai bagian dari intervensi promotif dan preventif dalam keperawatan komunitas.

Abstract

Aims: To analyze the effect of hemodialysis on hemoglobin levels and blood pressure in patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Method: The study used a one-group pretest-posttest design with 17 respondents. Data were collected using EDTA tubes, sphygmomanometers, and stethoscopes. A paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were applied to analyze the significance of changes between pretest and posttest results Results: The mean hemoglobin level before hemodialysis was 7.92 g/dL and increased to 8.50 g/dL after hemodialysis (p = 0.001). The mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 136.6 mmHg before to 124.0 mmHg after hemodialysis (p = 0.003). However, there was no significant difference in diastolic blood pressure, with an average of 80.6 mmHg before and 78.6 mmHg after hemodialysis (p = 0.180). Conclusion: It can be concluded that hemodialysis significantly increases hemoglobin levels and reduces systolic blood pressure in ESRD patients, while diastolic blood pressure remains unchanged. Regular monitoring of hemoglobin and systolic blood pressure is crucial for managing patient health. Hemodialysis effectively raises hemoglobin levels and reduces systolic blood pressure in ESRD patients. Regular monitoring of both parameters is essential for effective patient management. While the findings highlight the benefits of hemodialysis, the limited sample size may restrict the generalizability of the results. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings and explore the long-term implications.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that requires continuous self-management to prevent complications and maintain quality of life. Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) has been widely promoted as a structured educational intervention to improve patients’ self-care behaviors. To analyze the effect of a DSME program on quality of life among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group study was conducted among patients with type 2 diabetes attending the outpatient clinic at RSUD Majalengka, Indonesia. A total of 106 participants were recruited using purposive sampling and divided into intervention (n=53) and control (n=53) groups. The intervention group received a structured DSME program consisting of four sessions covering diabetes knowledge, physical activity, nutrition management, and pharmacological therapy. Quality of life was measured using the Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using statistical tests to compare within-group and between-group changes. Participants who received DSME showed greater improvement in Quality of life scores compared with the control group. The intervention supported better self-management behaviors, improved understanding of disease management, and increased patient engagement in their care. significantly improves quality of life among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and can be considered an effective educational strategy in outpatient care settings.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that frequently leads to serious complications, including severe soft tissue infections such as necrotizing fasciitis. Chronic hyperglycemia contributes to impaired tissue perfusion, decreased immune response, and delayed wound healing, thereby increasing the risk of severe infection and poor clinical outcomes. This case report describes the implementation of comprehensive nursing care for a patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus complicated by necrotizing fasciitis. This study employed a descriptive case report design involving a 72-year-old male patient diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis of the left lower extremity, accompanied by Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and systemic complications. Nursing care was delivered using the nursing process approach, including assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The main nursing variables addressed were skin/tissue integrity, infection risk, and blood glucose stability. Data were collected through patient interviews, physical examination, wound observation, blood glucose monitoring, and review of medical and nursing records. The primary nursing diagnoses identified were impaired skin/tissue integrity, risk of infection, and unstable blood glucose levels. Nursing interventions focused on aseptic wound care, glycemic control management, infection prevention, pain management, and patient education. Evaluation outcomes demonstrated improvement in wound condition, reduced purulent exudate, stabilization of blood glucose levels, and decreased pain intensity during the course of nursing care. This case report indicates that comprehensive and evidence-based nursing care, particularly strict glycemic control combined with appropriate wound management, plays a critical role in supporting wound healing and preventing further complications in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and necrotizing fasciitis.

Abstract

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic cardiovascular condition frequently accompanied by dyspnea and impaired sleep quality as a result of pulmonary congestion and reduced cardiac output. These symptoms significantly affect patient comfort and quality of life, highlighting the need for effective non-pharmacological nursing interventions. This study aimed to describe the implementation of the semi-Fowler position as an Evidence-Based Nursing (EBN) intervention to reduce dyspnea and improve sleep quality in patients with CHF. This study employed an Evidence-Based Nursing case study design involving one patient diagnosed with CHF who was hospitalized at Immanuel Hospital Bandung. The patient experienced dyspnea and sleep disturbances but was hemodynamically stable and fully conscious. The intervention consisted of positioning the patient in a semi-Fowler position with head-of-bed elevation of 30–45 degrees for approximately 15 minutes once daily over three consecutive days. Data were collected through nursing assessments, direct clinical observation, and evaluation of patient responses before and after the intervention. The findings demonstrated a positive clinical response following the implementation of the semi-Fowler position. The patient reported reduced dyspnea, improved respiratory comfort, and decreased use of accessory muscles during breathing. In addition, improvements were observed in sleep duration and perceived sleep quality, with fewer nocturnal awakenings related to shortness of breath. In conclusion, the semi-Fowler position is an effective, simple, and safe non-pharmacological nursing intervention for reducing dyspnea and improving sleep quality in patients with Congestive Heart Failure . This intervention can be integrated into routine nursing care as part of Evidence-Based Nursing practice to enhance patient comfort and overall quality of life.
