Abstract

Background: Balinese believe that mental disorders are caused after being possessed and cursed by one’s ancestors, so Balinese choose traditional Balinese treatment (balian/shaman) in handling patients with mental disorders. Objective: The purpose of this research was to explore deeply about the use of balian in treating patients with mental disorder. Methods: A qualitative method with an interpretive phenomenological approach was used. In-depth interview technique with semi-structured interview guidelines was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach. Results: Five themes emerged, including 1) ancestors’ curse, 2) possessed by a spirit, 3) believe that balian has healing power, 4) balian becomes the first choice prior to the hospital, and 5) the use of traditional and medical treatment at once. Conclusion: Balian became the first choice in treating patients with mental disorders. It is because Balinese still believes that mental disorders caused by the ancestors’ curse and possessed by the spirit.

Abstract

Background: Although the WHO strategy integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) for primary care has been implemented in over 100 countries, there is less global experience with hospital-based IMCI training. Until recently, no training had been done in Indonesia, and globally there has been limited experience of the role of IMCI in rebuilding health systems after complex emergencies. Objective: We aimed to examine the effect of hospital-based IMCI training on pediatric nurse competency and explore the perception of Indonesian doctors, nurse managers and pediatricians about IMCI training and its development in West Aceh, a region that was severely affected by the South-Asian tsunami in December 2004. Methods: This study used stepped wedge design. Training was conducted for 39 nurses’ staff, 13 midwives, 6 head nurses, 5 nurse managers, 5 doctors, 1 pediatrician, and 3 support facilities (nutritionist, pharmacist, laboratory) in Cut Nyak Dien (CND) Hospital in Meulaboh, West Aceh, Indonesia. The IMCI training was developed based on the WHO Pocketbook of Hospital Care for Children. A nurse’s competency questionnaire was used based on the guideline of assessment of the quality of child health services at the first level reference hospitals in districts / municipalities issued by the Ministry of Health in 2007. A linear mixed model was used for data analysis. Results: The hospital based IMCI training improved the competences of nurses pediatric in assessing emergency signs of the sick children, management of cough and difficulty breathing, diarrhea, fever, nutritional problems, supportive care, monitoring, discharge planning and follow-up. The assessment highlighted several problems in adaptation process of material training, training process and implementation in an environment soon after a major disaster. Conclusion: Hospital based IMCI training can be implemented in a setting after major disasters or internal conflict as part of a rebuilding process. The program requires strong management support and the emergency phase to be subsided. Other pre-requisites include the existence of standard operating procedures, adequate physical facilities and support for staff morale and well-being. Improving the quality of pediatric care requires more than just training and clinical guidelines; internal motivation and health worker support are essential.

Abstract

Background: The critically ill patients are having nutrition problems in dealing with the critical condition. The problem of nutrition is demanding on the severity of illness. Therefore, the ICU nurses should understand how nutrition can support the patients’ recovery. Objective: This study’s aim was to compare the result of energy expenditure calculation of conventional method with Ireton-Jones method for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit. Methods: This was a comparative and cross-sectional study which recruited 40 samples. The samples were divided into two groups, conventional group method and Ireton-Jones group method, and they met the inclusion criteria. The sample of this study was determined by convenience sampling. To answer the hypothesis, the hypothesis test used Independent sample t-test. Results: The results revealed that there is no significance difference between energy expenditure calculation conventional method and Ireton-Jones method statically. In the other word, either used the conventional method or the Ireton Jones method, the result of energy expenditure calculation has statically significant difference. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the nurse can use both methods to calculate the energy expenditure for critically ill patients to meet their nutrition need. We suggest that for further investigation will recruit many samples and do control of other factors that might be influenced in the study.

Abstract

Background: Women are at risk of iron-deficiency anemia, especially in teenage girls. One alternative treatment to prevent the occurrence of anemia is to consume guava leaf extract. Objective: To examine the effect of guava leaves extract on changes in blood profile level in teenage girls. Methods: This study was a quasi-experiment with pretest posttest control group design. This research was conducted at SMK Palebon Semarang Indonesia conducted on December 2016 - January 2017. There were 36 samples selected using a purposive sampling, with 18 samples were assigned in the experiment and control group. Blood profiles was measured in the Laboratory of Cito Klinik Setiabudi to see the hemoglobin level, hematocrit level, erythrocyte count, and platelet count. Data were analyzed using Independent t-test. Results: There were significant differences in hemoglobin and thrombocytes levels after given intervention between the experiment and control group with p-value <0.05. However, the intervention has no effect on hematocrit and erythrocytes levels (p>0.05). Conclusion: Guava leaves (Psidii folium) extracts have a significant effect on changes in hemoglobin and thrombocyte levels in teenage girls, but not in the hematocrit and thrombocytes levels. Therefore, it is suggested that guava leaves (Psidii folium) extracts can be an alternative treatment for midwives to prevent the occurrence of anemia in teenage girls.

Abstract

Background: Combining musical and aromatherapy therapy is expected to have a stronger effect in the reduction of anxiety and non-invasive hemodynamic stability. Objective: To examine the effect of the combination of music and aromatherapy on anxiety and non-invasive hemodynamic in patients in the intensive care unit. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with non-equivalent group. An experimental group was given a combined musical and aromatherapy, while a control group was given music therapy. Thirty respondents were selected using accidental sampling, with 15 randomly assigned in the music group and the combination group. HARS scale (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale) was used to measure anxiety. Non-invasive hemodynamic status such as blood pressure and heart rate were documented in the observation sheet. Paired t-test and one-way ANOVA were used for data analysis. Results: There were significant effects of combination therapy on anxiety (p=0.001), diastole (p=0.004) and heart rate (p=0.031), but no significant effect on systole (p=0.387). The music therapy alone had a significant effect on anxiety (p=0.001), systole (p=0.047), and diastole (p=0.037). Conclusion: The combination of music and aromatherapy had a greater effect than the music therapy alone in decreasing anxiety and stabilizing diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. This therapy can be used as an alternative in nursing interventions and as an input to develop standard of operational procedure for anxiety and non-invasive hemodynamic stability.

Abstract

Background: Roselle flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa) has been used as a food and herbal drinks, in hot and cold beverages, as an herbal medicine. Objective: To examine the effect of consuming roselle dried flower petals on changes in maternal hypertensive blood pressure during postpartum period. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with non-equivalent control group design conducted in 2016. There were 30 samples recruited using consecutive sampling with 15 samples in an intervention group and a control group. Data were analyzed using paired t-test to know the difference of blood pressure value before and after intervention in the intervention and control group, and independent t-test to determine the difference of blood pressure decrease between intervention and control group. Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon test were also conducted for data analysis. Results: Findings showed that there were statistically significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure values before and after intervention in the intervention and the control group with p-value 0.000 (<0.05) with systolic blood pressure decrease was 5 mmHg and diastolic was 5.33 mmHg. Additionally, there was a significant effect in the duration of healing in the intervention group with p-value 0.000 (<0.05), with the average duration of healing was 2 days. Conclusion: There were significant effects of dried petals of rosella flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa) brewed with 200 ml of hot water with temperature 90oC in lowering blood pressure, and there were significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and duration of healing between the intervention group and the control group of mothers who consumed antihypertensive drugs. The results of this study can be applied by midwives in postpartum care with the cases of hypertension. It is expected that this intervention can help the healing process more quickly through a combination of antihypertensive medicines and sedated petals of rosella flowers.
