Abstract

Introduction: Hemodialysis is a kidney replacement therapy for patients with stage V chronic kidney disease. During hemodialysis, patients often complain of muscle cramps. More than ¾ of hemodialysis patients have experienced muscle cramps. This condition causes discomfort and anxiety, which can reduce their quality of life. If the patient shortens the duration of hemodialysis, the process of removing toxins and excess fluid will not be optimal. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Buerger Allen exercises on muscle cramps in intradialysis patients. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest control group structure. The sample consisted of 64 hemodialysis patients at Klinik Ginjal dan Hipertensi Lestari, selected using a consecutive sampling technique. The sample was divided into two groups: 32 in the treatment group and 32 in the control group. The inclusion criteria were ages 25 to 70, compos mentis, able to read and write, willing to participate, and undergoing routine hemodialysis twice a week for at least 4 hours. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: The results showed that the mean rank in the treatment group was higher than in the control group (44.97 vs. 20.03). Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). Conclusion: Buerger Allen exercises have a significant effect on reducing muscle cramps in intradialysis patients.

Abstract

Background: Antenatal care is a maternal health service provided throughout pregnancy to identify risks of complications and reduce maternal and perinatal mortality. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and reasons for the late initiation of antenatal care. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted at three primary healthcare centres in Limpopo province, South Africa, from October to November 2020. A consecutive sample of 231 pregnant women who received antenatal care during the data collection period participated in the study. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25. Results: The findings indicate that 43.12% of the women initiated antenatal care late. The most common reasons for late initiation included lack of information, cultural beliefs, distance to the facility, waiting times, and the operating hours of the facility. Conclusion: There is an urgent need to develop and implement educational programs for antenatal care, strengthen community-based services, and evaluate staff workload at the study sites.

Abstract

Background: A traumatic ulcer is a mucosal lesion caused by direct physical, mechanical, thermal, or chemical trauma to the mucosa, such as from malocclusion, ill-fitting dentures, or bad habits like using toothpicks. Treatment aims to alleviate pain, eliminate the primary source of trauma, and promote healing of the ulcer. The objective of this case report is to document traumatic ulcers resulting from mechanical trauma exacerbated by stress. Case Report: A male patient presented with an ulcer that had been present for three weeks after accidentally injuring himself with a toothpick. The ulcer had not been treated previously. The patient reported experiencing high levels of stress and sleep deprivation due to working on his thesis. Clinical photos provided by the patient revealed a solitary, white-to-yellowish ulcer, approximately 5x3 mm in size, on the left lateral side of the tongue. The patient was prescribed an antiseptic anti-inflammatory aloe vera extract gel via teledentistry. Discussion: Under stress, the HPA axis releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) from the hypothalamus, activating the adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids. The interaction between glucocorticoids and proinflammatory cytokines is a physiological mechanism that links stress and wound healing. Glucocorticoids can interfere with the inflammatory response and reduce white blood cell activity, thereby affecting wound healing. Conclusion: Traumatic ulcers can be exacerbated by psychological conditions such as stress. Dentists and healthcare providers should conduct thorough patient history assessments, clinical examinations, and provide appropriate therapy and oral health education to promote effective ulcer healing.

Abstract

Background: Chemotherapy is typically administered in specific doses and schedules to maximize its effectiveness in killing cancer cells. If a patient does not adhere to the prescribed regimen, the treatment may be less effective, potentially allowing the cancer to grow or spread. Digital interventions offer innovative approaches to address the issue of adherence. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of digital interventions on enhancing cancer patients' adherence to chemotherapy. Method: This systematic review analyzed full-text original articles published in English in databases including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and ProQuest from 2018 to February 2024. The articles were identified using the keywords: (telehealth OR telecare OR telenursing OR “smart application” OR “mobile application”) AND (adherence OR “treatment adherence”) AND (chemotherapy OR “adjuvant chemotherapy” OR “drug therapy”) AND (cancer OR neoplasm*). Bias was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) tool. Results: A total of 456 items were found. Thirteen relevant papers from the literature search focused on breast cancer patients. The number of participants across all studies was 2,289. The digital interventions used included mobile games, video conferences, text messaging related to mobile health, and apps. These interventions provided medication reminders, symptom reporting, adherence tracking, and patient education, all of which contributed to increased chemotherapy adherence. Conclusion: Digital interventions positively influence chemotherapy adherence in cancer patients. The use of technology enables patients to actively participate in their treatment. This review was conducted across various continents, making the findings applicable to diverse ethnicities and races.

Abstract

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a common illness in mental hospitals, often leading to recurrent relapses. These relapses can be influenced by both internal and external factors, including family support and self-efficacy in caring for individuals with schizophrenia (IWS). Good family support benefits IWS, whereas poor support can worsen their condition. High self-efficacy in families is essential for providing optimal care. This study examines the correlation between family support and family self-efficacy with relapse in IWS in the Puskesmas (Community Health Centre) III North Denpasar area. Methods: A quantitative descriptive correlational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted. The research instruments included a family support questionnaire and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Data were collected through door-to-door surveys from May to June 2024, involving 68 respondents who were family members of IWS. Results: Many respondents were aged 46-55, had a high school education, and earned below the minimum wage. The Pearson correlation test showed a strong negative correlation between family support and relapse (p = 0.00, r = -0.62) and between family self-efficacy and relapse (p = 0.00, r = -0.61). Multivariate analysis using multiple linear regression indicated that family support (β = -0.37) had a slightly stronger influence on relapse occurrences in IWS compared to family self-efficacy (β = -0.36). Conclusion: Enhancing family support and self-efficacy is crucial in minimising relapse in IWS. Families should be encouraged to strengthen their role in providing support and improving their self-efficacy in caregiving.

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide. Nurses play a crucial role in providing care for stroke patients. Accurate and precise nursing diagnoses serves as the foundation for providing appropriate nursing care. This study aims to identify nursing diagnoses in acute stroke patients based on the Indonesian Nursing Diagnosis Standards. Method. This study utilized a descriptive research design. The research sample consisted of 471 patients (205 hemorrhagic strokes; 266 ischemic strokes) selected through random sampling techniques. The data were collected from the medical records of stroke patients treated at the Emergency Department of Muhammadiyah Lamongan Hospital from January to December 2023. The research instrument employed was a summary sheet, and data were analyzed descriptively. Result. The results of this study indicate that common signs and symptoms in hemorrhagic stroke patients included headache, decreased level of consciousness, and increased blood pressure with widened pulse pressure. The most frequent nursing diagnoses observed were decreased intracranial adaptive capacity (87.3%), impaired physical mobility (70.7%), and verbal communication impairment (74.1%). Similarly, common signs and symptoms in ischemic stroke patients include difficulty moving extremities, decreased range of motion (ROM), and decreased muscle strength. The most frequent nursing diagnoses observed were impaired physical mobility (81.5%), risk for falls (57.5%), and decreased intracranial adaptive capacity (49.6%). Conclusion: There are differences in signs and symptoms between hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke during the acute phase, as well as differences in primary nursing diagnoses. However, these distinctions may vary in subsequent phases depending on the severity of the disease and underlying comorbidities. Future researchers are encouraged to conduct real-time studies to promptly identify any missing data.

Abstract

Introduction: Dietary patterns have been studied for their influence on the burden of disease in patients with SLE. The Mediterranean diet has been shown to be beneficial in lowering chronic inflammation, but no study has summarized its effect on SLE. This article aims to review the association between the Mediterranean diet and SLE. Methods: A literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar databases were searched using the keywords Mediterranean diet and SLE. Articles published in English between 2013 and 2023 were included. The initial search yielded 526 records, which were narrowed down to five studies for final inclusion. A narrative synthesis approach was used to analyze the impact of the Mediterranean diet on SLE disease activity. Results: Five cross-sectional studies were included, with a total of 1,165 participants. The studies used the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) and the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology (SLICC/ACR) Damage Index (SDI) as outcome measurements. Three of the five studies found that higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower burden of SLE, as measured by reduced SLEDAI and SDI scores. One study found no association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and SLEDAI or SDI scores, while another study found no association between adherence and the risk of developing SLE. Conclusion: High adherence to a Mediterranean diet may help reduce the damage caused by SLE. Further cohort studies or clinical trials are needed to investigate the impact of diet on SLE.

Abstract

Introduction: Cognitive decline in older adults is a common challenge that affects their independence and well-being. Virtual-based reminiscence therapy (VBR) is a versatile approach that may enhance memory and cognitive function by revisiting past experiences through digital platforms. This method has the potential to yield better outcomes compared to conventional methods. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of virtual reality (VR) in reminiscence therapy for improving cognitive function among older adults. Method: A systematic literature review was conducted across five journal databases: Cochrane, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The screening and selection process adhered to PRISMA 2020 guidelines, and article bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) screening instrument. A narrative analysis was presented to examine the impact of VBR on cognitive function in older adults. Results: This review identified five articles that met the predefined inclusion criteria. The total number of respondents was 250, with an age range from 65.54 to 86.05 years. The cognitive function measurement tools used in the five articles included the Saint Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS) ratings, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Cognitive Assessment Screening Instrument (CASI), and the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III). Conclusion: VR-based reminiscence therapy shows promising potential for enhancing cognitive function among older adults. However, further adaptations are required to accommodate the physical capabilities of older adults in integrating technology into therapeutic practices.
