Abstract

Background: Stroke emerged as a serious global health problem, ranking as the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide. The most common impact of stroke was impaired physical mobility, especially with damage to the brain's motor centers or nerve pathways controlling body movements. In stroke patients, this disorder could appear directly after an acute attack and persist into the rehabilitation phase if not treated properly. One intervention to address physical mobility disorders in stroke patients was the application of a combination of Bobath therapy and balance exercises to accelerate motor function recovery, prevent immobilization complications, and increase patient independence. Objectives: This case study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of the combination of Bobath therapy and Balance exercise on physical mobility disorders in stroke patients. Methods: This study is a case study of a description of one stroke patient in Mrs. S in the Arjuna Room of Bhakti Dharma Husada Hospital Surabaya by using a descriptive nursing process with an approach to describe in depth the application of the intervention to the patient. Results: The implementation of a nursing intervention in the form of a combination of Bobath therapy and balance exercise who experienced physical mobility impairment due to non-hemorrhagic stroke for six days showed positive results. Conclusion: The increase in muscle strength can be seen from the patient's ability to maintain posture, transition from lying down to sitting to standing, and show better stability during balance exercises.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety problems are often experienced by patients in hospitals due to various factors, such as medical conditions, medical procedures, or unfamiliar environments. One of the non-pharmacological interventions that has been widely studied to manage anxiety is guided imagery therapy. Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of guided imagery therapy in addressing anxiety problems in hospital patients. Methods: Literature searches were conducted on databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Pubmed. Article searches were carried out systematically from 2019-2024 using severalkeywords, namely "hemodialysis", or "guided imagery", or "anxiety", or "Patients in hospitals". Search for articles in English and Indonesia. Studies that met the inclusion criteria, i.e. experimental or quasi-experimental studies that evaluated the effects of guided imagery therapy on the anxiety levels of hospital patients, were further analysed. Data were extracted and compared to identify key findings. Results: : Studies show that guided imagery therapy can significantly lower anxiety levels in hospital patients, both before and after certain procedures. Positive effects were seen more pronounced in patients who underwent the intervention over several sessions compared to a single session. Additionally, patients reported improved relaxation, mood, and an overall more positive experience during the treatment period. Conclusion: : Guided imagery therapy is an effective and easy-to-apply approach to overcome anxiety in hospital patients. This intervention can be an additional option for health workers to improve the quality of health services, especially for patients with high levels of anxiety. Further studies are needed to explore the effects of these therapies in the context of the wider patient culture and population.
