Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects aging men. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) represents the standard surgical management for moderate to severe conditions. Postoperative pain remains a significant clinical problem. Conventional analgesic management demonstrates adverse effects. Variable patient responses remain evident. Non-pharmacological strategies require evaluation. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of non-pharmacological nursing interventions in postoperative pain management following BPH surgery. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane CENTRAL. The publication period is from January 2017 to December 2024. Inclusion criteria comprised randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, adult patients undergoing BPH surgery, non-pharmacological interventions, and pain outcomes using validated instruments. PRISMA 2020 guidelines guided study selection. Joanna Briggs Institute appraisal tools assessed methodological quality. Narrative synthesis was applied due to heterogeneity. A total of 1,086 records were identified. Ten studies met inclusion criteria. Seven randomized controlled trials. Three quasi-experimental studies. Interventions included relaxation techniques, transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, acupuncture, pranic healing, enhanced recovery after surgery protocols, and integrative approaches. Relaxation techniques reduced pain intensity (p < 0.001). Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation decreased catheter-related bladder discomfort and reduced analgesic consumption. Acupuncture demonstrated sustained improvement in chronic pelvic pain (p < 0.001). Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols reduced catheterization duration and decreased early postoperative pain. Evidence quality ranged from moderate to high. Non-pharmacological nursing interventions demonstrate effectiveness in postoperative pain reduction. Improved recovery outcomes observed. Further multicenter trials required. The development of standardized clinical guidelines is recommended.

Abstract

Bullying is a mental and social health problem that significantly affects the psychosocial development of children and adolescents. Differences in developmental characteristics across educational levels may influence individuals' involvement as perpetrators and victims. This study examines variations in bullying incidence from the viewpoints of both perpetrators and victims across three educational tiers (elementary, junior high, and senior high) in Tegal City, Indonesia. This quantitative study used a descriptive comparative design involving 90 students selected through purposive sampling (30 elementary, 30 juniors high, and 30 seniors high). Bullying perpetration and victimization were measured using the Peer Relations Questionnaire (PRQ). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with a significance level of 0.05. There was a significant difference in bullying victim scores across educational levels (F=3.935, p=0.023), with higher victimization among junior high (mean=9.07) and senior high students (mean=8.87) compared to elementary students (mean=7.37). Perpetrator scores showed variation between levels (elementary mean=7.87, junior high mean=8.67, and senior high mean=8.83), but differences did not reach strong statistical significance. These findings support Erikson's psychosocial developmental theory that adolescents in the identity versus role confusion stage are more vulnerable to relational conflict and social pressure, increasing victimization risk. Bullying incidence, particularly from the victim perspective, differs significantly across educational levels, indicating the need for developmentally tailored prevention strategies in schools.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a global health problem with increasing incidence and prevalence, long-term treatment, poor prognosis, and high treatment costs. Kidney failure patients face various complex issues, such as fluid and dietary restrictions, long-term treatments that result in loss of freedom, and dependence on healthcare services, affecting their quality of life. One effort to improve the quality of life in chronic kidney disease patients is the health education and Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) program. SEFT is a psychological support technique focusing on holistic and spiritual well-being. This technique uses emotions and physical touch, often combined with prayer. The aim of this literature review is to determine the impact of the combination of education and the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) on the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients with double-lumen catheter placement. This literature review was conducted by searching the results of publications in the Google Scholar, ProQuest, and Pubmed databases between 2019-2024 using the PRISMA method. The keywords used were self-management education AND spiritual emotional freedom technique AND quality of life AND CKD. The search for relevant articles included 13 sources that met the inclusion criteria. The conclusion is that the combination of education and the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique has an impact on the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients with double-lumen catheter placement

Abstract

Patient safety management is a fundamental indicator of hospital quality and reflects the effectiveness of healthcare service delivery. Effective leadership plays a critical role in fostering a patient safety culture, minimizing risks, preventing adverse events, and improving the quality of nursing care. This study aimed to examine the relationship between effective leadership and patient safety management at Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang Hospital. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 50 nurses working at the hospital. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing perceptions of effective leadership and patient safety implementation. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that most respondents were female (82%) and held a diploma in nursing (54%), while 46% had a professional nursing degree. The mean age of respondents was 26.97 ± 6.78 years, and the mean work experience was 1.98 ± 3.62 years. Nurses perceived leadership effectiveness at the hospital to be high, with a mean score of 103 ± 13.54. In terms of patient safety management, 84% of respondents demonstrated good implementation of patient safety practices. Statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between effective leadership and patient safety management (r = 0.457, p = 0.001), indicating that stronger leadership effectiveness was associated with better implementation of patient safety practices. In conclusion, effective leadership is significantly associated with improved patient safety management in hospital settings. Strengthening leadership capacity may contribute to the development of a stronger patient safety culture and enhance the quality of healthcare services.

Abstract

Patients with Parkinson's disease require long-term care, and family members provide most of this care. This study aims to explore the experiences, feelings, and significance of family members caring for patients with parkinson's disease. This study utilized a qualitative research design with a descriptive phenomenological approach, conducted in Bali in 2025. Semi-structured interviews were performed with six participants, selected through purposive and snowball sampling methods. The data analysis process incorporated interactive analysis, which comprised data collection, condensation, data display, and the formulation of conclusions. The results consist of five main interrelated themes. These themes are family burden vs responsibility, adaptation to a new life, surrender, many roads to Rome, and life expectancy. As the main caregiver, the family experiences many trials, obstacles, emotional changes, financial difficulties, fatigue, and increasing burdens; however, they were able to recover and did not give up on continuing their lives. Medical personnel and local health facilities are expected to collaborate in conducting physical and psychological health assessments for families and providing information about available resources, such as health services and Parkinson's community groups. Healthcare workers are expected to understand, implement preventive measures, and provide solutions to reduce caregiver burden and improve the quality of life for patients with Parkinson's disease and their families.
