Abstract

Pain is a multidimensional experience that extends beyond physical discomfort, affecting emotional, psychological, and spiritual domains of human-being health. Nurses are uniquely positioned to play a leading role in multimodal pain management, yet the nursing contribution is often underemphasized in practice and policy. This perspective article synthesizes the evolving understanding of pain management from a nursing perspective and explores the importance of holistic, patient-centered care as nursing interventions. It calls for a shift from biomedical models to integrated approaches, emphasizing non-pharmacologic therapies, cultural competence, and continuous reassessment as vital components of nursing care. Enhancing nursing roles in pain management will improve patient outcomes and address disparities in pain relief.

Abstract

Background: Asthma remains a global health burden, marked by recurrent respiratory symptoms that significantly affect quality of life. Non-pharmacological nursing interventions such as deep breathing and semi-Fowler positioning have been increasingly recommended to improve respiratory function in patients with asthma. However, few studies have compared the relative effectiveness of these two interventions within a single experimental framework. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of deep breathing exercises and the semi-Fowler position in reducing respiratory rate among asthma patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted involving 70 asthma patients, divided into two intervention groups: deep breathing (n = 35) and semi-Fowler position (n = 35). Participants were recruited using purposive sampling based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data on respiratory rate were collected before and after intervention using direct observation, recorded in breaths per minute. Paired and independent t-tests were used for statistical analysis with a significance level of α < 0.05.Result: In the deep breathing group, the mean respiratory rate decreased significantly from 29.03 ± 2.20 to 18.29 ± 1.56 breaths/minute (mean difference = 10.74; p < 0.001). Similarly, in the semi-Fowler group, the respiratory rate reduced from 28.43 ± 1.98 to 18.29 ± 1.66 breaths/minute (mean difference = 10.14; p < 0.001). However, the post-intervention comparison between the two groups showed no statistically significant difference (p = 1.00).Conclusion: Both deep breathing and semi-Fowler positioning are effective in reducing respiratory rate among asthma patients. These findings suggest that nurses can apply either method based on patient preference and clinical context, supporting individualized, evidence-based respiratory care.

Abstract

Background: Adolescents can experience dysmenorrhea due to stress exceeding normal limits and inadequate nutrition, which can exacerbate dysmenorrhea. This is because nutritional deficiencies can affect reproductive organ function and increase the risk of menstrual pain in adolescents. This study aims to analyze the relationship between stress levels and the incidence of dysmenorrhea in adolescents. Methods: The study design used an observational analytic approach. The sample of 48 adolescent respondents was selected using a simple random sampling technique using a stress questionnaire (Kessler Psychological Distress Scale) and a dysmenorrhea questionnaire (Numeric Pain Rating Scale). Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rho test (p < 0.05). Results: The results showed a very strong relationship between stress levels and the incidence of dysmenorrhea in adolescents. The p-value of 0.913 (less than 0.05) confirmed the significance of this relationship. Conclusion:  It can be concluded that there is a strong relationship between stress levels and the severity of dysmenorrhea in adolescents in Koto Baru Hiang Village. There is also a significant positive relationship between stress levels and the severity of dysmenorrhea. Adolescents with higher stress levels tend to experience more severe dysmenorrhea. Data also shows that interventions to reduce stress are essential to support adolescent reproductive health and improve their quality of life. Therefore, in-depth education for adolescents is needed to minimize the incidence of stress-related diemesis.

Abstract

Background: Indigenous populations experience disproportionately high rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet their encounters with healthcare systems often involve cultural disconnection and marginalization. Despite increasing use of terms such as cultural safety and competence, the specific phenomenon of cultural disruption—particularly in hospital-based cardiac care—remains underexplored and poorly defined in nursing literature.Purpose: This concept analysis aims to explore and clarify the meaning of cultural disruption as it relates to Indigenous patients undergoing cardiovascular care, with a focus on implications for nursing practice.Methods: Walker and Avant’s eight-step method of concept analysis was employed to identify the defining attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents of cultural disruption. Data were synthesized from peer-reviewed articles published within the last 10 years, including qualitative studies and Indigenous health frameworks relevant to cardiac care.Results: Cultural disruption is characterized by disconnection from cultural identity and practices, invalidation of Indigenous knowledge systems, breakdown in relational and community support, spiritual alienation, and erosion of trust in healthcare systems. Antecedents include colonization, systemic racism, and biomedical dominance, while consequences include treatment non-adherence, patient disengagement, and poor health outcomes. Empirical referents include patient-reported cultural safety assessments, narrative interviews, and clinical documentation audits.Conclusion: Cultural disruption is a distinct and critical concept in understanding health inequities experienced by Indigenous cardiac patients. Recognizing this phenomenon enables nurses to implement culturally responsive strategies that uphold spiritual, relational, and community-based dimensions of care. Future research is needed to validate tools that assess cultural disruption and evaluate outcomes of culturally grounded interventions in cardiovascular nursing.

Abstract

Cupping is one part of Complementary And Alternative Therapy (CAT) therapy . The benefits of cupping therapy are claimed to maintain health by removing toxins from the body, but scars are at risk of infection if not done properly . The purpose of this study was to determine the picture of cupping wound healing after 3 days of treatment. This study is quantitative with a descriptive research design . The population in this study were cupping patients aged 18-26 years, with a sample size of 200 people, sampling by purposive sampling , this study used a research instrument for measuring secondary wound healing issued by the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), data were analyzed univariately. The results of the univariate analysis showed that all 100% of patients who underwent cupping therapy had a good wound healing process, none of whom were found to have wound infections after 3 days after wet cupping. It is expected that every nurse who performs cupping therapy will continue to pay attention to standard operating procedures (SOP), sterile principles and disinfectant areas of the injection.
