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

Uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells is the underlying cause of cancer in patients. This community service aimed to enhance cancer patients' knowledge and understanding of pain management using an autogenic relaxation technique incorporating specific movements and guided suggestions. The method involved demonstrations and health education sessions. This activity was attended by 30 cancer patients aged >18 years undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The study results indicated a 37.3% improvement in the participants' knowledge and understanding of the provided pain management education, increasing from 50% to 87.3%. The application of autogenic relaxation techniques effectively reduced pain intensity, and patients demonstrated increased independence in performing these techniques. Consequently, the quality of life for cancer patients undergoing treatment can be optimized.

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.
