Abstract

The aging population is predominantly predisposed to heart illness. Age is an autonomous danger factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults, but this risk is exacerbated by additional factors, including comorbidities. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and the association between comorbidities and cardiovascular disease among late adults in Indonesia. This cross-sectional research utilizes the data national population survey from the Indonesia Family Life Survey wave 5 (2015). Multistage stratified random sampling was utilized to choose the respondents to respond to a structured questionnaire interview, laboratory test, and anthropometric measurements. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized to determine the association. The result was respondents’ age mean was 48.31 (±5.83) years. CVD prevalence was 2.36% (95% CI: 2.07 – 2.70). The final model of a multivariable analysis using multiple logistic regression indicated that CKD (adj. OR = 3.04, 95%CI 1.76 – 5.24, p = <0.001), hyper cholesterol (adj. OR = 2.77, 95%CI 1.20 – 3.90, p = <0.001), stroke (adj. OR = 2.66, 95%CI 1.36 – 5.24, p = 0.004), having hypertension (adj. OR = 1.83, 95% 1.35 – 2.49, p = <0.001), high blood sugar (adj. OR = 1.82, 95%CI 1.17 – 2.86, p = 0.008), were significantly associated with CVD among late adults. Other significant covariate was age (adj. OR = 1.04, 95%CI 1.01 – 1.06, p = 0.003) and sex (adj. OR = 1.43, 95%CI 1.07 – 1.92, p = 0.015). The conclusion was comorbidities, age, and sex was associated with CVD among late adults in Indonesia.

Abstract

COPD is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation due to blocked airways and alveolar abnormalities caused by noxious particles or gases that can lead to hypoxemia and progress to hypoxia which will result in decreased oxygen saturation and shortness of breath. Actions in overcoming shortness of breath and decreasing oxygen saturation can be done non-pharmacologically, namely the Pursed-Lip Breathing (PLB) technique. This study aims to determine the effect of PLB on increasing oxygen saturation and reducing shortness of breath in COPD patients. This literature review is a search of electronic databases, namely SAGEPub, Pubmed, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, ProQuest, and DOAJ. The search for articles published from 2016-2021 found 10 relevant articles. The result is that PLB is effective in reducing the physical responses of COPD patients such as hemodynamics, increasing oxygen saturation, and controlling symptoms of shortness of breath. While the psychological response can increase the self-efficacy of COPD sufferers. In conclusion, this PLB technique can be used by nurses as a non-pharmacological approach and reduce negative physical and psychological responses in COPD sufferers.

Abstract

Moist wound healing is a method of treating moist and closed wounds to accelerate the healing process, the growth of new tissue and prevent infection. The survey results found that respondents know moist wound care 66.7%, rarely use the moist method of 53.4%, and use conventional techniques of 73.3%, therefore it takes knowledge, attitude, and a lot of experience to be able to achieve maximum wound care. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes with the actions of nurses on wound care using the moist wound healing method at RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan in 2021. The study was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The total population in the study was the same as the total sample size of 62 respondents who were obtained using the total sampling technique in-room RB 2B, RB 3, and the Burn Unit. The results showed that good knowledge was 66.1%, a positive attitude was 82.3%, and taking action according to the SOP was 83.9%. Based on the Fisher exact test, it was obtained a p-value for knowledge, and attitudes of 0.001 (p <0.05), which means that there is a relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and actions of nurses regarding wound care using moist wound healing method. It is hoped that the nurses can increase their knowledge and experience to create a positive attitude in carrying out wound care using the moist wound healing method to accelerate the healing of patients.
