Abstract

Coronary angiography, a critical diagnostic tool for coronary artery disease, often results in post-procedural pain that affects patient recovery and satisfaction. Acupressure, a non-invasive technique rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, has shown promise in reducing pain by stimulating endorphin release and enhancing physiological responses. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure in managing pain among patients undergoing coronary angiography. Four databases (Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, and ScienceDirect) were searched for relevant articles published between 2020 and 2025, using keywords such as "acupressure," "pain," and "coronary angiography." Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines were used to assess study quality. Seven randomized controlled trials involving 774 participants were included. All studies reported significant pain reduction after acupressure interventions (p < 0.05), with durations ranging from 15 to 120 minutes at points like LI4 and PC6. Acupressure not only reduced pain but also stabilized vital signs and reduced anxiety. These findings suggest that acupressure is an effective intervention for post-coronary angiography pain, providing a strong basis for its integration into clinical practice. Further research is needed to standardize protocols and explore long-term effects.

Abstract

Cancer remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality globally. The disease itself and its treatments often lead to significant challenges that negatively impact patients' quality of life. The objective of this community service initiative was to enhance the knowledge and understanding of cancer patients regarding their nutritional needs through a focused educational program. The method employed was a health education approach that included demonstrations. The activity involved 30 cancer patients, all over 18 years of age, who were undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The results showed a significant improvement in the participants' quality of life, specifically in their knowledge and understanding of nutrition. The pre-intervention score of 50% increased to 87.3% post-intervention, representing a 37.3% improvement. This demonstrates that the application of education on nutritional management can effectively improve patients' nutritional status. A good nutritional status is expected to enhance the overall quality of life for cancer patients undergoing medical treatment, as they are better equipped to implement nutritional management strategies in line with their health conditions and medical recommendations.

Abstract

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a serious condition that requires quick treatment to prevent complications and death. The education program is one of the effective interventions in improving the understanding, compliance, and quality of life of ACS patients. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs in ACS patient management through a scoping review. Method: This study uses the scoping review method with the PRISMA-Scr protocol. Data was obtained from Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed, and EBSCO databases with relevant keywords and publication of articles in the last 5 years (2019–2024). Articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using a descriptive approach. Quality assessment is carried out using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal tool. Results: Of the initial 34,668 articles, 12 articles with good and medium quality were selected. Effective educational programs include behavioral, media, distance, and group-based methods. These interventions have been shown to improve patient understanding, medication adherence, and quality of life as well as reduce anxiety and depression. The instruments used included PPE-15, HADS-A, HADS-D, SF-12, HeartQoL and GENEActiv accelerometer questionnaires. Conclusions: Educational programs based on a patient-centered care approach (PCC), technology, and physical exercise have proven to be effective in improving ACS patient management. Behavioural and media-based education, such as traffic light labels for nutrition understanding, is able to support lifestyle changes and patient rehabilitation. Intensive education also has a positive impact in reducing the risk of long-term complications.

Abstract

Urological surgery is a medical procedure in treating disorders of the urinary tract, reproductive organs, and other urogenital systems that have the most common risk of complications in the form of urinary incontinence. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises are in reducing the occurrence of urinary incontinence among patients who have undergone urological surgery. Four databases, including Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest and Sciencedirect, were reviewed for relevant articles published from 2020 to 2025. The literature search was conducted using keywords such as "Pelvic-Floor-Exercises AND Urinary-Incontinence AND Post-Urology-Surgery". Guidelines from the Joanna Briggs Institute were used to assess the quality of journals reviewed. Articles were analyzed by extracting data in the form of country, type of study, sample, age, gender, intervention (type and duration), instrument, and outcome. Seven randomised controlled clinical trials (RCTs) involving 422 articles were included. All studies reported a significant decrease in urinary incontinence after Kegel exercises (p 0.05). Research indicates that engaging in pelvic floor exercises can enhance the strength of pelvic floor muscles, leading to better bladder control and a decrease in the occurrence of urinary incontinence. Pelvic Floor Exercises can be part of a urological post-operative recovery program that supports the patient's overall recovery and quality of life. Nurses can teach and motivate patients to perform pelvic floor exercises according to the patient's progress and condition. The results lay a strong groundwork for application in clinical settings, and further studies are necessary to establish a standardized protocol and investigate its long-term effects.
