Abstract

Tennis elbow is a complaint of pain in the forearm which usually radiates to the dorsum of the hand due to inflammation or non-specific degeneration of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) muscle in the lateral epicondyle of the humerus as a result of repetitive hand activities. This study aims to determine the differences in the effects of tapping and eccentric exercise with tapping and passive stretching on increasing grip strength in tennis elbow patients. This research was an experimental study with a randomized control group pretest-posttest design. This research was conducted on the campus of the Department of Physiotherapy, Poltekkes Kemenkes Makassar, Indonesia. The population was 45 patients who have tennis elbow, aged between 30-45 years, and do not have other neuromusculoskeletal disorders. The sample was obtained using the Lemesow formula so that a sample size of 40 subjects was taken using a simple random sampling technique, then divided into two groups randomly, namely the group given tapping and eccentric exercise and the group being given taping and passive stretching. Both groups were given the intervention three times a week for four weeks. The results of the Wilcoxon test analysis showed that tapping and eccentric exercise interventions significantly increased gripping ability with p-value = 0.000 (<0.05) while tapping and passive stretching interventions showed a significant increase in gripping ability with p = 0.003 (<0.05). The results of the Mann-Whitney test analysis showed that there was a significant difference between groups in the ability to grip with a p-value = 0.006 (<0.05). Thus it can be concluded that the intervention with a combination of tapping affects the gripping ability of tennis elbow patients. Keywords: tennis elbow; eccentric exercise; passive stretching; tapping; grip strength

Abstract

The unhealthy behavior of adolescents today tend to be more at risk of causing the incidence of non-communicable diseases, including hypertension, e.g. alcohol consumption, smoking, lack physical activity, and poor diet. The unhealthy behaviours very often relate with the negative perception of a healthy lifestyles. The aim of the study was to describe individual perceptions in the prevention of hypertension among adolescents. The study used cross-sectional design. A sample of 210 students was taken from 2nd grade junior high school in Surabaya through multistage sampling. The variable included individual perception in the prevention of hypertension involve the perceived susceptibility and the perception of seriousness. Instrument used was a questionnaire with closed-ended questions. Descriptive analysis was used to represent the individual perceptions in the prevention of hypertension. The perceived susceptibility to hypertension was mostly good (99.5%), and the perception of seriousness of hypertension was half good (51.4%). Adolescents' perceptions can provide an estimate of the prevention of hypertension. One of the factors influencing adolescents' perception of hypertension is related to knowledge. In order to achieve a positive perception in the prevention of hypertension, the support of schools through the program of School Health Unit and collaboration with the Community Health Center through health education is necessary to improve the understanding of the prevention of hypertension in adolescents. Keywords: individual perception; adolescent; hypertension

Abstract

Low back pain is one of the main health problems experienced by humans. Microwave diathermy, bugnet exercise, and William flexion exercise are physiotherapy modalities that can be used to treat lower back pain, but their scientific effectiveness is uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the effect of pain reduction and degree of disability after being given a combination therapy of microwave diathermy, bugnet exercise, and William flexion exercise in patients with low back pain. This research was a pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design which was carried out at dr. Tadjuddin Chalid Makassar with a population of 30 subjects who met the inclusion requirements. The sample was obtained by 26 subjects obtained using the Lemesow formula. Sampling was done by simple random sampling technique into one treatment group to measure the degree of disability using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) before and after the intervention. The results of data analysis with the Wilcoxon test obtained a pretest value of 39.80 + 4.64 and a posttest of 20.80 + 2.90 with a p-value of 0.005. Thus it can be concluded that the provision of Microwave diathermy, bugnet exercise, and william flexion exercise can have an effect on the functional activities of low back pain patients. Keywords: electrotherapy; exercise therapy; oswestry disability index; physiotherapy; low back pain

Abstract

The 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is dubbed as one of the deadliest and worst global pandemics. Many pandemic policies and programs were implemented in different countries across the globe, including creating vaccines that would enhance human immunity against the symptoms caused by the virus. Since then, debates on vaccines have emerged, citing vaccine hesitancy often associated with certain factors like socioeconomic status, beliefs, and vaccine awareness. This birthed an intensive call for vaccine literacy as an effective means of encouraging people to get vaccinated against viruses. This paper uses the Walker and Avant (2019) approach of concept analysis with the help of its eight systematic stages. Results showed that vaccine literacy was adopted after the concept of health literacy. It is defined as a process of providing vaccine information, building communication, and increasing people's engagement about vaccines. The identified defining attributes of vaccine literacy include "health literacy," "disease prevention," "education," and "immunization." Vaccine literacy is considered relevant in the nursing practice as knowledge of vaccine literacy quickly advances nurses' practice roles through vaccination education, creating developmental policies about vaccines, and prescribing immunization to patients. Keywords: vaccine hesitancy; COVID-19; nursing; concept analysis

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the concept of caring behaviour of diabetic nurses in terms of its use and definition in the provision and or management of health care services to diabetic patients with COVID 19.  This paper is limited to the context of its use within the hospital care setting. A literature review was conducted wherein out of 30 resources that were assessed, only nine literatures were included. The paper revealed that caring behaviour is a human action, intervention, and emotion as its defining attributes.  Caring behaviour as a human action is the act of a nurse while performing its duties and responsibilities, while as an intervention, it is the action performed to meet the patient’ needs while undergoing treatment. Moreover, as an emotion it conveys empathy, happiness, and concern towards patient’s safety.  It is further inferred that caring behavior is always present in a diabetic nurse whatever case he/she is handling; the acceptance or acknowledgement of the caring behavior of the nurse by a patient may hasten recovery and caring behavior is the core of nursing and cannot be separated from the nursing profession. Keywords: caring behaviour; human action; intervention; emotion; dietic nurses

Abstract

Aim: This concept analysis aims to impart knowledge and recognize the pandemic fatigue of healthcare professional, especially nurses. The concept aims to identify the causes of pandemic fatigue to nurses, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. It also identifies the effect of pandemic fatigue on their productivity, their mental and physical aspect. It also analyzed the definitions of the concept via various case studies and researches like giving examples of the model, related, contrary and borderline cases. Background: Pandemic fatigue is a foreseeable result of an extended health crisis. The gravity of its impact on people's lives and the seriousness of the disease signaled different measures to combat the infection. The pandemic fatigue can be seen from the records of various countries’ growing numbers of individuals who do not adequately conform to given measures, are not aware of the COVID-19 disease, and their exhaustion of the changing safety protocols. Design: Avant and Walker (2019) method of concept analysis. Result: The study has uncovered seven significant contributing attributes of pandemic fatigue, especially healthcare workers, such as exposure to infection, restriction, mortality, relationships with coworkers,  employers and public, PPE/supplies, and nursing shortage mental health. Pandemic fatigue among nurses has been rampant and has affected the healthcare workforce’s daily routine. Prolonged crisis has set the government in a pinch and different hospitals in both private and public. Conclusion: Nurses are prone to developing pandemic fatigue due to their nature of work and the additional burden COVID-19 has brought. Pandemic fatigue can be prevented initially by studying fatigue's underlying cause and formulating strategies to help nurses overcome pandemic fatigue. It can be prevented by following the established guidelines and support from the family and the nurses’ institution. Furthermore, the nurse can develop their behavior on what is suitable for them to control fatigue. Keywords: pandemic fatigue; COVID-19; nursing; concept analysis; Avant and Walker
