Abstract

Appendicitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the appendix. While mild cases may resolve without treatment, many require surgical removal of the infected appendix through a procedure known as laparotomy. Post-appendectomy pain can significantly impact daily activities, including rest, sleep, and personal well-being. Severe pain, if not addressed promptly with non- pharmacological interventions, can lead to neurogenic shock. Methods: This study employed a descriptive case study approach to investigate the effectiveness of deep breathing relaxation techniques in managing post-appendectomy pain. Results: The study involved two respondents who underwent deep breathing relaxation exercises twice daily for 15 minutes over three days. The results showed a decline in pain intensity for both respondents. Respondent 1 experienced a reduction from moderate pain (score of 3) to mild pain (score of 2), while Respondent 2's pain intensity decreased to moderate pain (score of 3). Conclusion: The findings suggest that deep breathing exercises and relaxation techniques can be beneficial in reducing pain levels in post-appendectomy patients when practiced consistently over a period of time.

Abstract

Background: Health is a fundamental human need that requires adequate support from healthcare facilities, including hospitals. The leadership of inpatient unit leaders plays a strategic role in influencing nursing performance and the quality of healthcare services. Military hospitals, characterized by a hierarchical structure and a workforce comprising both military personnel and civilians, differ fundamentally from government hospitals, which are primarily staffed by civilian healthcare professionals. This study aims to analyze the leadership styles of inpatient unit leaders at a Military Hospital (Level II Pelamonia Hospital) and a Government Hospital (RSUD Haji Makassar). Method: This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive cross-sectional research design. The sample consists of 98 respondents, equally distributed between Level II Pelamonia Hospital (49 respondents) and RSUD Haji Makassar (49 respondents). Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: The chi-square test results indicate no significant difference in the leadership styles of inpatient unit leaders at Level II Pelamonia Hospital and RSUD Haji Makassar (? = 0.372, ? = 0.05). Therefore, the null hypothesis (H?) is accepted, and the alternative hypothesis (H?) is rejected. Conclusion: There is no statistically significant difference in the leadership styles of inpatient unit leaders at t
