Abstract

Pain is an unpleasant experience that can be experienced by post sectio caesarea mothers. 88.2% of post sectio caesarea mothers feel pain. Pain is caused by an incision in the abdomen. Postoperative pain management can be done pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically. Slow stroke back massage can be used as an alternative to pain management with a non-pharmacological approach. This study aims to determine the effect of giving slow stroke back massage therapy on post sectio caesarea pain intensity. The research method used was descriptive case study using numeric rating scale (NRS) instrument. The research subjects were 4 respondents with the criteria of second day post sectio caesarea patients with moderate to severe pain intensity. Respondents were divided into intervention and control groups. The study was conducted for one day with a duration of 20 minutes of therapy for each respondent. The results of the case study showed that respondents had an average pain scale of 5. There was a decrease in the pain scale of post sectio caesarea mothers in the intervention group with an average decrease of 2.5 scales. This decrease occurs due to the mechanism of releasing endorphins which play a role in reducing pain perception in the parasympathetic nervous system. The slow stroke back massage intervention has an effect on reducing the pain scale of post sectio caesarea mothers so that it can be applied in the process of providing nursing care in the clinic.

Abstract

Background: Cognitive changes in the elderly are a natural consequence of the degenerative process. In this process, sleep quality becomes an important factor affecting cognitive function. While it is known that prolonged sleep disturbances can increase the risk of cognitive impairment in the elderly, few studies have specifically explored the relationship between sleep quality and cognitive function in the context of the elderly in elderly residents. Aim: To determine the relationship between sleep quality and cognitive function in elderly residents. Methods: This study used a quantitative method with a descriptive-analytic design and a cross-sectional approach. The research population comprised all elderly residents of Tresna Werdha Social Institution Budi Mulia 3 in Jakarta, totaling 282 individuals, with a sample size of 80 elderly individuals selected using simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires, and data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Results: The results showed that the majority had good sleep quality (55%) and normal cognitive function (51.2%). There is a significant relationship between sleep quality and cognitive function (p=0.000) with an OR value of 19.444. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between sleep quality and cognitive function in the elderly. Recommendations: Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that nurses carry out community-based interventions, such as sleep health education activities and stress management, to support comprehensive elderly health. Further research is recommended to develop and test the effectiveness of non-pharmacological-based interventions, such as cognitive behavioural therapy and meditation techniques, in improving the quality of elderly sleep. Keywords: cognitive function; elderly; sleep quality.

Abstract

Hypertension is an incurable condition; thus, it is essential to control it by improving patient self-management, particularly through education. This study seeks to assess the impact of instruction through flipcharts on self-management in individuals with hypertension. The study employs a quasi-experimental design featuring pre- and post-tests, lacking a control group. This study's population comprises hypertension patients, with a sample size of 21 respondents from the Simpang Tiga Community Health Center in Pekanbaru City, gathered between May 20 and June 3, 2024. The research instrument employed is the Hypertension Self-Management Behavior Questionnaire. This study was executed during two meetings within a fortnight. The analysis included a paired t-test. The research findings indicated that the mean self-management score prior to the intervention was 85.90, whereas the mean self-management score subsequent to the intervention rose to 114.62. The paired test findings revealed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). It can be stated that teaching utilizing flipcharts influences the self-management capabilities of patients with hypertension. This research aims to establish flipchart media as a tool for disseminating information and health education to the population. Further studies should explore health education interventions utilizing flipchart media for more non-communicable diseases.

Abstract

Background: Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of high maternal and child mortality worldwide, including Indonesia. Comprehensive studies on the application of non-pharmacological approach in reducing preeclampsia symptoms are still limited. This review aims to identify the effectiveness of non-pharmacological nursing interventions for preeclampsia in pregnant women. Methods: A literature search was conducted to identify relevant articles in three databases of PubMed, EBSCOHost, and Scopus. The studies reviewed were in English on the effectiveness of various non-pharmacological interventions for pregnant women with preeclampsia. The article selection was in accordance to the PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews using the terms (“preeclampsia” OR “pre-eclampsia”) AND (“nursing intervention” OR “nursing care”) AND (“blood pressure” OR “blood pressure determination” OR “arterial pressure”). Selected studies were based on original research, either a randomized clinical tial or quasi-experimental studies, focusd on pregnant women or mothers with preeclampsia, and were published in the last ten years (2014-2024). Journal eligibility was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal. Results: The number of articles reviewed was seven. Findings suggest that pharmacologic management plays an important role in the control of preeclampsia, but non-pharmacologic interventions also provide significant benefits with a lower risk of adverse effects. Various non-pharmacological interventions that have been proven effective in reducing blood pressure in pregnant women with preeclampsia are Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR), breathing exercise, stretching exercise, autogenic training, and foot massage. Conclusion: Integration of non-pharmacological interventions in the management of preeclampsia is very important to reduce blood pressure and improve maternal and fetal well-being. Expanding the implementation of the interventions mentioned in the study should be done in further studies to measure its effects on the quality of life of the pregnant women and their compliance in preeclampsia management.Keywords: Nursing interventions, Preeclampsia, Pregnancy

Abstract

 Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In advanced stages, patients often experience pain and shortness of breath, which significantly reduce their quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions such as foot massage with lavender essential oil and pursed lip breathing (PLB) exercises offer potential supportive therapy, but evidence on their effectiveness remains limited. This case study aimed to describe the application of foot massage and PLB techniques in reducing pain and dyspnea in a 64-year-old male diagnosed with stage IVA squamous cell lung carcinoma. The intervention was conducted over six consecutive days. Foot massage was performed using five standard techniques—effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, and vibration—while PLB was practiced for 10 minutes prior to each session. Pain intensity and oxygen saturation were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and pulse oximetry, respectively. The results showed a decrease in pain score from 7 to 3 and an improvement in oxygen saturation from 92% to 96%. The patient also reported improved comfort and the ability to perform light activities with assistance. These findings suggest that the combination of foot massage and PLB may be effective in managing pain and respiratory symptoms in advanced lung cancer. Further research with larger sample sizes and controlled study designs is recommended to confirm these outcomes and support broader clinical use.Keywords: Foot Massage Therapy, Lavender Oil , Lung Cancer, Pain, Pursed Lip Breathing, Shortness of Breath

Abstract

The present study examines the relationship between high altitude and anxiety levels among employees at one of Indonesia’s leading petrochemical company. Using a quantitative research design, the investigation focused on 42 employees working in distinct altitude zones within the facility. Data were collected over a six month period during normal operational hours, employing the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) as the standardized psychological assessment tool. Altitude measurements for work zones were recorded precisely, with categorized levels defines as low, moderate, high and very high altitude zone. Descriptive statistics, including means, standard deviations, and range values, were computed and correlation tests conducted R programming to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between altitude and anxiety. Results revealed the mean HARS scores among 42 participants was 21.4 (SD = 5.7), with a range of 11 to 33 whilst a statistically significant positive correlation between increased altitude exposure and elevated anxiety scores (r = 0.68, p < 0.001), suggesting that higher work zone are associated with greater anxiety levels among employees. This study also discusses occupational health and safety concerns, ethical considerations, and the limitations intrinsic to a cross-sectional quantitative design. Implications for workplace design and employee well-being interventions are explored, with recommendations for future research addressing broader environmental and psychosocial variables.

Abstract

Choking in toddlers can be fatal, underscoring the importance for mothers to be well-versed in first aid and to exhibit a supportive attitude when responding. However, there are still gaps in mothers' understanding of proper first aid techniques and psychological factors that influence their responses in emergency situations. This study aims to determine mothers' knowledge and attitudes regarding jfirst aid for choking children. The research design was descriptive quantitative with Cross Sectional approach. The sample in this study was 100 mothers. The sampling techniques used are proportional sampling and convenience random sampling. The researched collected data in January 2024 using knowledge and attitude questionnaires, and then analyzed using univariate analysis. The results showed 66% of participants answered important statements incorrectly, namely first aid for choking by only giving a drink, 43% of participants answered abdominal thrust is not the first aid for choking in children over 1 year old. Participants' attitudes showed that 97% would give back blow or abdominal thrust, and 81% would give chest trust. The conclusion of this study is that the mother's knowledge is lacking in several crucial statements regarding choking management, although the attitude of most mothers agrees to provide back blow, abdominal thrust and chest thrust actions, so education, simulation and training are still needed. For further research, it can compare whether there is an increase in knowledge and attitudes after providing education and training according to the needs of mothers in handling choking.
