Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major public health problem worldwide and a leading risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension continues to rise, with South Sulawesi ranked among the highest cases. Non-pharmacological approaches are increasingly promoted as complementary strategies to enhance blood pressure control. One promising method is laughter therapy, which has been reported to improve mood, stimulate endorphin release, and reduce vascular tension. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of laughter therapy in reducing blood pressure among patients with hypertension. Methods: This research employed a descriptive case study design conducted in April 2024 at the working area of Gentungang Public Health Center, Gowa District. One hypertensive patient, aged 43 years, was purposively selected as the study subject. Laughter therapy in the form of humor-based video sessions was administered three times over one week. Blood pressure was measured before and after each intervention, accompanied by observation and patient self-report regarding physical and emotional responses. Results: The results showed a consistent reduction in blood pressure across all sessions. Average systolic pressure decreased by 16.3 mmHg and diastolic pressure by 7.6 mmHg. The patient also reported diminished headaches, improved sleep quality, and enhanced mood after the intervention. No adverse effects were observed during the therapy. Conclusions: In conclusion, laughter therapy demonstrated effectiveness as a complementary non-pharmacological intervention for lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients. These findings suggest its potential integration into nursing practice, particularly in primary health care settings, to support holistic hypertension management.

Abstract

Background: Typhoid fever remains a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, including Indonesia, where incidence exceeds 500 cases per 100,000 population despite modest global declines. Pharmacological treatment is essential, but non-pharmacological nursing interventions such as warm compresses may enhance fever management and patient comfort. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of warm compresses in reducing body temperature and improving comfort among hospitalized typhoid fever patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was conducted with 32 patients diagnosed with typhoid fever at RSUD Haji Makassar between March and June 2025. Warm compresses at 40°C were applied to the axilla, forehead, and neck for 15 minutes twice daily over three days, in addition to standard pharmacological therapy. Body temperature was measured using digital thermometers, and patient comfort was assessed with a numeric rating scale. Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used for analysis. Results: Mean body temperature decreased significantly from 38.6°C (SD = 0.4) to 37.4°C (SD = 0.3) after intervention (t = 12.53, p < 0.001). Median comfort scores improved from 4 (IQR = 3–5) to 8 (IQR = 7–9) (Z = –4.89, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Warm compresses significantly reduced fever and enhanced comfort in typhoid fever patients, supporting their use as a complementary nursing intervention alongside pharmacological therapy.
