Abstract

Bladder dysfunction is a frequent health problem faced by many individuals around the world. Biofeedback therapy has become an increasingly commonly used approach to address these disorders, focusing on improving pelvic muscle control and body awareness. However, few studies have specifically evaluated the effectiveness of biofeedback therapy in addressing impaired bladder function, especially in specific populations. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of biofeedback therapy in addressing bladder dysfunction in adults with incontinence or urinary retention. This study used a randomized controlled clinical research design. They were randomly divided into two groups, an intervention group that received biofeedback therapy for 8 weeks, and a control group that received no additional intervention. Measurements were made using standardized clinical evaluation scales and objective measurements of urine volume. The results of this study showed that the intervention group receiving biofeedback therapy had significant improvements in pelvic muscle control, incontinence frequency, and volume of retained urine resolved compared to the control group. This improvement was also maintained in the follow-up period after 3 months of intervention. The conclusion of this study is that biofeedback therapy is proven to be effective in overcoming bladder function disorders in adult individuals with complaints of urinary incontinence or retention. This approach can be an effective and sustainable treatment option to improve the quality of life and well-being of individuals affected by bladder dysfunction. Further research is needed to explore more deeply the mechanisms and factors that influence the effectiveness of biofeedback therapy in different cases of bladder function disorders.

Abstract

Gerontology nurses play a vital role in providing care that is holistic and sensitive to the special needs of the elderly population. However, strong interpersonal relationships between nurses and elderly patients are often compromised by a lack of effective communication skills. Therefore, improving communication skills is important to ensure optimal quality of care for this population. This study aims to explore the effect of communication skills training on gerontic nurses in improving interpersonal relationships with elderly patients. The main focus is to assess whether the training can improve the nurse's ability to communicate with patients effectively, thereby strengthening the interpersonal relationship between the two. This research method uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental pretest-posttest design. The research results and data analysis showed a significant increase in the communication skills of gerontic nurses after undergoing training (p <0.05). In addition, there was a substantial improvement in interpersonal relationships between nurses and elderly patients. These results indicate that communication skills training is effective in improving interpersonal relationships in the context of gerontology care. This research concludes that communication skills training plays an important role in improving interpersonal relationships between gerontic nurses and elderly patients. These findings highlight the importance of investing in the development of communication skills for gerontology nurses to improve the quality of care for the ageing population. This research implies that communication skills training should be an integral part of gerontology nurses' training and development programs to ensure that they can provide sensitive and effective care for elderly patients.
