Abstract

Abstract Acute postoperative pain following long bone fractures is a common clinical problem that may hinder the healing process and delay early patient mobilization. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) techniques in reducing the intensity of acute postoperative pain in patients with long bone fractures. A randomized controlled trial with a pretest–posttest control group design was employed. The sample consisted of 72 respondents, who were divided into an intervention group (NSAIDs + PMR) and a control group (NSAIDs only). Univariate analysis showed that the mean pain intensity in the intervention group decreased from 68.2 ± 8.5 mm before the intervention to 32.4 ± 7.6 mm after the intervention, while in the control group, mean pain intensity decreased from 67.9 ± 8.1 mm to 48.6 ± 8.9 mm. Bivariate analysis using the paired t-test demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pain intensity before and after treatment in both the intervention group (p = 0.000) and the control group (p = 0.001). Furthermore, the independent t-test revealed a significant difference in post-intervention pain intensity between the intervention and control groups (p = 0.000). These findings indicate that Progressive Muscle Relaxation is effective as a complementary therapy in reducing acute postoperative pain following long bone fractures and is recommended for integration into postoperative nursing care.

Abstract

Ventilasi mekanik merupakan sistem bantuan napas untuk mempertahankan pertukaran gas pada pasien dengan gangguan pernapasan berat, yang memerlukan pengendalian jalan napas buatan secara terstandar dalam keperawatan kritis. Pengelolaan tekanan cuff Endotracheal Tube (ETT) oleh perawat ICU penting untuk menjaga airway seal, karena tekanan yang tidak optimal dapat menyebabkan kebocoran mikro, aspirasi sekret, dan meningkatkan risiko Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Oleh karena itu, pemantauan tekanan cuff menggunakan manometer perlu dievaluasi efektivitasnya dalam praktik klinik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui efektivitas manajemen tekanan cuff ETT terhadap aspirasi sekret dan VAP pada pasien ventilasi mekanik. Desain penelitian menggunakan quasi-experimental dengan post-test only with control group design. Sampel sebanyak 82 pasien diambil dengan teknik consecutive sampling dan dibagi menjadi kelompok intervensi dan kontrol (masing-masing 41 pasien). Pengumpulan data menggunakan lembar observasi aspirasi sekret dan Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS). Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa ada perbedaan pengaruh manajemen tekanan cuff ETT terhadap aspirasi sekret pada kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol dengan nilai p<0,001 (p<0,05) serta ada perbedaan pengaruh manajemen tekanan cuff ETT terhadap angka kejadian VAP pada kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol dengan nilai p<0,001 (p<0,05). Manajemen tekanan cuff ETT yang terkontrol secara rutin efektif dalam mencegah aspirasi sekret dan menurunkan risiko VAP.

Abstract

Weaning ventilator merupakan proses pelepasan ventilasi mekanik secara bertahap hingga pasien mampu mempertahankan pernapasan spontan secara adekuat tanpa bantuan alat selama minimal 48 jam setelah ekstubasi. Proses ini berperan penting dalam menentukan luaran klinis pasien ICU, namun masih menjadi tantangan karena tingginya angka kegagalan, reintubasi, serta komplikasi seperti ventilator-associated pneumonia yang berkaitan dengan kelemahan otot pernapasan. Intervensi seperti Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kekuatan otot inspirasi dan mendukung keberhasilan weaning ventilator. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas IMT terhadap keberhasilan weaning ventilator pada pasien ICU. Desain penelitian menggunakan kuasi eksperimen dengan rancangan pre test–post test control group design. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan consecutive sampling dengan jumlah sampel 78 pasien ventilasi mekanik yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu 39 kelompok intervensi yang diberikan IMT dan 39 kelompok kontrol dengan perawatan standar. Instrumen pengumpulan data menggunakan lembar observasi fisiologis (HR, RR, TD, SpO₂, suhu, dan RSBI), dengan analisis data menggunakan uji t dependen atau Wilcoxon serta t independen atau Mann–Whitney sesuai distribusi data. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa ada perbedaan rerata parameter fisiologis (TD, HR, RR, suhu, SpO₂, dan RSBI) sebelum dan sesudah intervensi pada kelompok intervensi dengan nilai p < 0,05, yang menunjukkan adanya pengaruh signifikan IMT. Pada kelompok kontrol juga terjadi perubahan rerata parameter fisiologis, namun tidak signifikan dan tidak sebesar kelompok intervensi. Selain itu, terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara kelompok intervensi dan kontrol (p < 0,05), yang menunjukkan bahwa IMT lebih efektif dalam meningkatkan kondisi fisiologis dan keberhasilan weaning ventilator pada pasien ICU. IMT disarankan sebagai intervensi pendukung dalam praktik keperawatan ICU untuk meningkatkan parameter fisiologis dan keberhasilan weaning ventilator pada pasien kritis.

Abstract

The Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) procedure is a form of surgical intervention carried out to treat coronary heart disease (CHD). Cardiac rehabilitation programs are training and education programs that aim to improve patients' heart health, especially after surgery. One of the goals of cardiac rehabilitation is to return patients to achieve optimal conditions, increase the functional capacity of the heart, and improve the quality of life. The purpose of the study was to test the effectiveness of the phase II cardiac rehabilitation program on increasing cardiac functional capacity and quality of life of post-CABG patients at H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan. The research design is a quasi-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The number of samples was 33 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using dependent t tests for heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure, and diastole blood pressure. Data on respiratory rate (RR), METs, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and quality of life variables were used to test the wilcoxon. The results of the data analysis showed that there was no effect of the phase II cardiac rehabilitation program on HR and RR (p>0.05 value) because the majority of respondents took beta-blocker drugs. However, the results of statistical tests showed that there was an effect of the phase II cardiac rehabilitation program on systole and diastole blood pressure, METs, SpO2, and the quality of life of the respondents (p value <0.05). This study proves that the phase II cardiac rehabilitation program is effective in improving the functional capacity of the heart and the quality of life of post-CABG patients.

Abstract

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the standard reperfusion therapy in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients, but local complications such as pain and hematoma in the access area, especially femoral access, are still common. Non-pharmacological interventions in the form of cold packs are known to have benefits in reducing inflammation and reducing hematoma formation through local vasoconstriction mechanisms. This study aims to describe the application of cold packs in reducing pain and hematoma in posterior STEMI patients after PCI procedures. Method: This study used a single-case design on a 58-year-old female patient post-PCI through femoral access at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan. The cold pack intervention was wrapped in a towel or sterile gauze and applied for 15-20 minutes with the patient in a supine position. Pain assessment was performed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), while hematoma was evaluated through diameter and skin discoloration. Monitoring was done before and after the intervention and for three days. There was a significant reduction in pain from NRS 5 to 1-2 and hematoma shrinkage from ±5 cm to ±2 cm without active bleeding or side effects. Cold pack is effective, safe, and easy to apply as a nursing intervention in reducing pain and hematoma post-PCI. Cold packs are recommended as a nonpharmacologic nursing intervention that can reduce pain and hematoma post-PCI.

Abstract

Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with dyspnea being the most common symptom resulting from increased pulmonary venous pressure and pulmonary edema. Non-pharmacological interventions such as positioning, particularly the sitting position with legs hanging down, have been reported to effectively reduce dyspnea in patients with CHF. This manuscript aims to analyze the effectiveness of the sitting position with legs hanging down in reducing dyspnea perception and improving vital parameters. The research method used a single case study design with interventions applied to one CHF patient. Data were collected through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and medical documentation studies. Pain intensity was measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while respiratory and oxygenation parameters were assessed descriptively. The intervention results showed a decrease in respiratory rate from 24 to 18 breaths per minute and an increase in oxygen saturation from 96% to 98% within three days, accompanied by reduced dyspnea scores and improved breathing comfort. These findings indicate that the sitting position with legs hanging down is a simple, effective intervention that can be integrated into evidence-based nursing practices for patients with CHF.

Abstract

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide and often requires Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Patients undergoing CABG are at high risk of experiencing postoperative anxiety, which can negatively affect haemodynamic stability, delay recovery, and impair overall clinical outcomes. Therefore, effective non-pharmacological nursing interventions are needed to manage anxiety during the postoperative period. This study aimed to describe the effectiveness of foot reflexology as a complementary nursing intervention in reducing anxiety in a post-CABG patient using an Evidence-Based Nursing (EBN) approach. Method: This study employed a single-case study design with an Evidence-Based Nursing approach. The subject was a 67-year-old male with a history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus who underwent three-graft off-pump CABG. Foot reflexology was administered for three consecutive days from postoperative day two to day four, for 30 minutes per foot in each session. Data were collected through comprehensive nursing assessment and analysed descriptively by comparing pre- and post-intervention anxiety levels using the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (DAS), along with changes in vital signs and observed behavioural responses. The patient initially presented with moderate to high anxiety, with a DAS score of 52. Following the intervention, anxiety scores gradually decreased to 45 on the second postoperative day and further to 36 on the fourth postoperative day. Improvements were also observed in vital signs, sleep quality, and overall relaxation, with no adverse effects reported. The application of foot reflexology was proven effective as a complementary nursing intervention in reducing anxiety in post-CABG patients.
