Abstract

Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. One of the impacts of stroke is it causes a decrease in the functional ability to carry out daily activities, therefore mirror therapy is carried out to restore the functional ability. The study aims to determine the effect of mirror therapy on the functional ability of post-stroke patients based on previous primary studies.Subjects and Method: It was a systematic review and meta-analysis study with PICO as follows: P= post-stroke patients, I= mirror therapy, C= conventional therapy, and O= functional ability. Data collection was conducted from databases, namely: Google Scholar and PubMed. The inclusion criteria used were full-text articles in English, with randomized control trial design, published in 2006-2021. The keywords used were "stroke" AND "mirror therapy" AND "functional independence measure" OR "FIM" AND "randomized control trial". The inclusion criteria of the study were articles using a randomized control trial study design, the effect size used was the Mean SD, the subjects of the study were patients with poststroke conditions, the intervention given was mirror therapy, the comparison was conventional therapy, with the outcome was increased functional ability. The articles were analyzed using Review Manager 5.3. application.Results: The meta-analysis was conducted on 9 primary studies from several countries such as Turkey, South Korea, India, and Italy. The results of the study showed that there was an effect of mirror therapy on the functional ability of post-stroke patients. Patients who obtained mirror therapy had a functional ability of 0.92 units higher than conventional therapy. The results were statistically significant (SMD= 0.92; 95% CI= 0.67 to 1.17; p<0.001).Conclusion: mirror therapy can improve the functional ability of post-stroke patients.Keywords: mirror therapy, functional ability, post-strokeCorrespondence: Galang Aji Samudera.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a disease caused by interference with blood flow in the brain which is still a global problem today. Post-stroke care needs to be done to prevent the worsening of the condition. One of the right interventions that can be done is virtual reality therapy and range of motion exercise. This study aims to examine, analyze and estimate changes in the range of motion of stroke patients with virtual reality therapy and range of motion exercise.Subjects and Method: Metaanalysis was carried out according to the PRISMA flow chart and the PICO model (Population: stroke patients, Intervention: virtual reality therapy and range of motion exercise, Comparison: not performed virtual reality therapy and range of motion exercise Outcome: range of motion). The databases used are Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The keywords used (“virtual reality” OR VR) AND (stroke OR CVD) AND (“range of motion exercise” OR ROM OR “motor exercise”) AND (stroke OR CVD) AND “Randomized Control Trial”. The inclusion criteria were full-text articles with RCT studies published in 2012-2022, articles in English, and bivariate and multivariate analysis. Analysis was performed using ReVman 5.3.Results: There were 20 articles with a randomized control trial design originating from Iran, Turkey, China, Egypt, Myanmar, South Korea, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, and Canada involving 799 people. A meta-analysis of 10 RCT studies concluded that virtual reality therapy increased the range of motion of stroke patients by 2.77 units (SMD= 2.77; 95% CI = 1.29 to 4.24; p<0.001) compared to no virtual reality therapy. In addition, the range of motion exercise intervention can also increase the stroke patient's range of motion by 0.84 units (SMD= 0.84; 95% CI= 0.35 to 1.33; p<0.001) compared to not being given range of motion exercise.Conclusion: Virtual Reality Therapy and Range of Motion exercises can increase the range of motion of stroke patients.Keywords: virtual reality therapy, range of motion exercise, stroke, range of motion, meta-analysis.Correspondence: Septyan Dwi Nugroho.

Abstract

Background:  The choice of cesarean section continues to increase in the world and is expected to continue to increase over the coming decades, which is almost a third of all deliveries in 2030. The benefits of dates for improving labor processes are considered to increase vaginal deliveries and also reduce the frequency of cesarean sections with the aim of reducing bigger complications. This study aims to analyze and estimate the influence of the consumption of dates on labor outcomes.Subjects and Method:  This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis with PICO, P: Pregnant women, I: consumption of dates, C: No consumption dates, O: Bishop's score, length of labor, and postpartum hemorrhage. Data collection was obtained from databases, namely: PubMed, Science Direct, Springer Link, and Google Scholar. Keywords used “date fruit” OR “date palm” OR “phoenix dactylifera” AND “labor” AND “delivery”, AND “oxytocin” AND “hemorrhage”. The inclusion criteria used were full papers in English with the design of randomized controlled trials in 20002022. This study was analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software.Results:  Meta-analysis was conducted on 4 primary studies from several countries such as Iran, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia with a sample size of 603 pregnant women. The meta-analysis concluded that there was an effect of date consumption on cervical dilatation upon admission to the hospital (SMD= 0.73; CI 95%= 0.09 to 1.38; p=0.030). Consumption of dates also has an effect on the duration of active 1st stage labor (SMD= 0.46; CI 95%= 0.82 to 0.09; p= 0.010). Consumption of dates has a weak effect on the length of stage II labor (SMD= 0.05; 95% CI= 0.88 to 0.78; p= 0.910). In addition, the consumption of dates also has a weak effect on the length of stage III labor (SMD=0.16; CI95%=0.46 to 0.79; p=0.610).Conclusion:  Consumption of dates has an influence on labor outcomes.Keywords:  phoenix dactylifera, dates, labor, postpartum hemorrhage, Bishop scoreCorrespondence: Ratna Purwani Siwi.

Abstract

Background:  COVID-19 is caused by a novel virus that can cause lung abnormalities which can be measured with new chest x-ray scoring system named Brixia score. In COVID-19 patients, coagulation disorders are often found that can be seen through D-Dimer levels. This study aimed to prove the Brixia Score as a predictor of D-Dimer levels.Subjects and Method: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were 94 COVID-19 patients which taken from ICU Melati 1 Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta from March 2021 to August 2021 who met the exclusion and inclusion criteria. The independent variable is the Brixia score performed by radiologists and the dependent variable is D-Dimer levels taken from laboratory results. Sampling was obtained by purposive sampling and the data were investigated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results: 94 samples were obtained for analysis. The average Brixia Score of patients with D-Dimer <2 µg/mL was Mean= 15.85; SD= 1.43 and D-Dimer ≥2 µg/mL was Mean= 17.29; SD= 0.96. There was a significant difference between the Brixia Score of patients with D-Dimer <2 µg/mL and D-Dimer ≥2 µg/mL (p<0.001). Analysis with the ROC curve shows an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.793. The optimal cutoff value of the Brixia Score for predicting D-Dimer levels was 16.5 (sensitivity 77.9%, specificity 73.1%).Conclusion: Brixia Score proved to be a predictor of D-Dimer levels of COVID-19 patients in ICU care.Keywords: COVID-19, ICU, brixia score, predictor, D-Dimer.Correspondence: Widiastuti Soewondo, Radiology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret.

Abstract

Background: The anxiety felt by patients undergoing hemodialysis can decrease the quality of life, cause a sleep disorder, and even aggravate the disease. Acupressure, hypnotherapy, or hypnopressure have minimal side effects and are easy to do in reducing anxiety. The study aims to analyze the different effects of acupressure, hypnotherapy, and hypnopressure in reducing anxiety in patients undergoing hemodialysis programs.Subjects and Method: It was an experimental study using a randomized controlled trial. It was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta, Central Java. The number of study subjects from March 2021 - July 2022 was 300 patients undergoing the hemodialysis program, with 75 subjects obtaining acupressure intervention, 75 subjects obtaining hypnotherapy intervention, 75 subjects obtaining hypnopressure intervention, and 75 subjects obtaining standard/control treatment. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The dependent variables in this study were acupressure, hypnotherapy, and hypnopressure, while the independent variable was the anxiety of patients who underwent a hemodialysis program for less than a year or less than 10 times. Anxiety was tested using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using an independent t-test, with the SPSS statistics program.Results: Post-acupressure anxiety score (Mean= 17.31; SD= 3.22) was lower than pre-acupressure (Mean= 23.17; SD= 2.68) and the result was statistically significant (p<0.001). Post-hypnotherapy anxiety score (Mean= 15.13; SD= 2.83) was lower than pre-hypnotherapy (Mean= 23.09; SD= 2.38), and the result was statistically significant (p<0.001). anxiety score after hypnopressure (Mean= 12.64; SD= 2.23) was lower than before hypnopressure (Mean= 23.13; SD= 2.53) and the result was statistically significant (p<0.001).Conclusion: Hypnopressure is more effective in lowering anxiety in patients undergoing a hemodialysis program.Keywords: anxiety, acupressure, hypnotherapy, hypnopressure, hemodialysisCorrespondence: Hanung Prasetya.
