Abstract

Background: Cholecystectomy often requires dietary and lifestyle adjustments, making adherence to educational programs crucial for optimal recovery. This study evaluated patients' compliance with a post-cholecystectomy educational program and examined how socio-demographic factors influenced adherence. This study aimed to evaluate patients' adherence to an educational program following cholecystectomy and to investigate the relationship between adherence and socio-demographic characteristics.Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed at AL Imam Sadiq Teaching Hospital. Non-probability sampling was used to recruit 30 patients for the study group and 30 for the control group. A 9-item instrument was developed, and a panel of 11 experts established its validity. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed on the collected data.Results: The study found that socio-demographic factors play a significant role in patients' adherence to the educational program. The pretest adherence was (3.19) for the case group and (2.92) for the control group. Posttest adherence significantly improved to (5.78) for the case group and (3.13) for the control group. Notably, patients' employment status, educational level, and monthly income were found to significantly influence the effectiveness of the instructional program on nutritional adherence.Conclusion: The instructional program had a positive impact on patients who underwent cholecystectomy, effectively improving their nutritional adherence in both the case and control groups. This success underscores the potential of such programs in post-cholecystectomy patient care. The study recommends increasing patients' knowledge regarding nutritional adherence and explaining dietary recommendations through social media. Additionally, it suggests implementing the present program for all patients undergoing cholecystectomy.

Abstract

Introduction: Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom experienced by patients undergoing hemodialysis. Intradialytic exercise, which involves physical activity performed during dialysis treatment, has been studied as a potential intervention to alleviate this fatigue. This literature review aims to determine the effects of intradialytic exercise on fatigue in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: The literature review search was carried out using three databases, namely Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The inclusion criteria for the literature review search were articles with publication years 2019-2024 in Indonesia and English. The articles could be open access. The keywords used in searching for the article were “intradialytic AND fatigue.” Results: The literature review identified fifteen studies for inclusion in the final analysis. Three articles used randomized control trials, seven articles used quasi-experiments, and five articles used pre-experiments. Many types of intradialytic exercises during hemodialysis were discovered. Conclusion: Intradialytic exercises have proven successful in reducing the level of weakness in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Fifteen research articles were found to support the provision of intradialytic exercises to patients undergoing hemodialysis. Intradialytic exercises can include active movement exercises, leg exercises, and relaxation movements.

Abstract

Introduction: The knowledge of health workers will affect their skills in carrying out the quality of medical records. The development of knowledge is so fast that health workers will quickly fall behind if they do not take advantage of various things to update the latest developments. The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge of health workers about the use of electronic medical records (EMR).Methods: This study used a literature review design with a qualitative approach to the data obtained in the form of literature review study data collection. Researchers collected 15 articles or scientific journals that have been published to analyze the knowledge of health workers in using EMR.Results: The percentage of health workers who knew about the use of EMR was more than 50% in 10 articles and less than 50% in 5 articles.Conclusion: The percentage of health workers who know about the use of EMR is relatively high. The level of knowledge is still low due to the lack of training and computer skills for officers and the lack of understanding by officers regarding the benefits of EMR for health facilities.

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: 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.
