Abstract

Vertigo is characterized by a false sensation of movement and may be accompanied by dizziness, headache, nausea, imbalance, and reduced ability to perform daily activities. Brandt–Daroff exercises are repeated positional movements intended to promote vestibular habituation and can be practiced independently after appropriate instruction. This literature review evaluated the effect of Brandt–Daroff therapy on vertigo symptoms and acute pain. Google Scholar was used because it provides broad access to Indonesian nursing journals and institutional full-text publications. Experimental and quasi-experimental studies published from 2021 to 2025 were screened using predefined eligibility and quality criteria. Of 151 records identified, six studies involving 136 participants were included. The studies used the Dizziness Handicap Inventory, Vertigo Symptom Scale–Short Form, Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale, and Numeric Rating Scale. All studies reported statistically significant improvement in dizziness, vertigo severity, functional impact, or pain after Brandt–Daroff-based interventions. However, three studies combined the exercise with music or aromatherapy, making it difficult to isolate the independent effect of Brandt–Daroff therapy. Protocol reporting was also inconsistent regarding session frequency, duration, and repetitions. Brandt–Daroff exercises may be useful as a complementary nursing intervention for appropriately selected patients, but the current evidence does not support describing all reported improvements solely as acute-pain reduction. Standardized controlled trials are required.

Abstract

Fluid restriction is an essential component of hemodialysis care, but it frequently causes thirst and oral dryness that may undermine adherence to prescribed fluid limits. This literature review synthesized evidence on the effectiveness of sucking ice cube therapy in reducing thirst intensity among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Google Scholar and Garuda Kemdikbud were searched for full-text studies published from 2022 to 2026. Eligible studies involved hemodialysis patients, evaluated sucking ice cube therapy, and measured thirst using a structured instrument. Of 914 records identified, four studies published from 2023 to 2025 met the eligibility and quality criteria. The studies included 202 participants; three used one-group pretest-posttest designs and one used a pretest-posttest design with a control group. All reported statistically significant reductions in thirst intensity after the intervention (p < 0.05). Protocols varied from 4 to 10 minutes per session, one to three sessions per week, and one to five weeks of implementation. Visual Analogue Scale and Dialysis Thirst Inventory were used as outcome measures. Sucking ice cube therapy may reduce thirst intensity and can be considered an adjunct nursing intervention. However, evidence should be interpreted cautiously because most studies lacked a control group and used heterogeneous protocols.

Abstract

Acute respiratory infections frequently affect toddlers andare commonly accompanied by cough, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and discomfort. Common cold massage is a complementary intervention involving gentle, structured massage of the face, chest, and back. This literature review synthesized evidence on its effect on common cold symptoms and recovery duration in young children with acute respiratory infections. Google Scholar was searched using terms related to toddlers, acute respiratory infection, common coldmassage, and recovery time. Eligible studies were Indonesian-language, full-text quasi-experimental articles published from 2021 to 2026. Of 121 records identified, five studies published in 2024-2025 met the eligibility and quality criteria and included 175 participants. Three studies used one-group pretest-posttest designs, whereas two used comparison groups. All reported improvement in symptom severity and/or recovery duration. However, one comparison study found that common cold massage was not significantly more effective than eucalyptus-oil steam therapy (p = 0.66), while another reported shorter cough and cold recovery than conventional massage. Intervention protocols, instruments, and outcomes varied. Common cold massage may be considered an adjunct intervention for mild symptoms, but the evidence is limited by non-randomized designs, heterogeneous protocols, incomplete safety reporting, and the self-limiting nature of many upper respiratory infections.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual complaint among adolescent girls and may disrupt daily activities, school participation, and quality of life. This literature review synthesized evidence on the effect of lavender aromatherapy on dysmenorrhea pain and compared the methodological characteristics of the available studies. Google Scholar was searched for Indonesian- and English-language full-text publications from January 2021 to July 2026. Studies were selected using population, intervention, comparison, outcome, and study-design criteria. Of 561 records identified, five quantitative experimental studies were included. All five reported statistically significant reductions in dysmenorrhea pain after lavender aromatherapy, with reported p values below 0.001. The interventions used inhaled lavender oil or aromatherapy candles for 10-30 minutes over one to three days, and pain was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale or Visual Analog Scale. The strongest evidence came from a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial, whereas the remaining studies mainly used one-group pretest-posttest designs. Lavender aromatherapy appears promising as a complementary non-pharmacological intervention for adolescent dysmenorrhea. Nevertheless, evidence certainty remains limited by heterogeneous protocols, small samples, incomplete adverse-event reporting, and the predominance of uncontrolled studies.

Abstract

Anxiety commonly increases during the third trimester as pregnant women approach childbirth and may affect maternal comfort, sleep, physiological stress responses, and readiness for labor. Hypnobirthing combines controlled breathing, deep relaxation, visualization, and positive suggestion to promote a calmer perception of childbirth. This literature review synthesized evidence on the effect of hypnobirthing on anxiety among third-trimester pregnant women. Google Scholar was used as the principal source of primary studies, while Google Books supported theoretical background and citation tracing. Articles published from 2021 to 2026 were screened using population, intervention, comparison, outcome, and study-design criteria. Five studies involving 140 pregnant women were included. Four studies used experimental or quasi-experimental pretest-posttest designs, whereas one analytical study examined the association between hypnobirthing practice and anxiety. All studies reported lower anxiety or a significant relationship between hypnobirthing and anxiety, with reported p values below 0.05. The strongest evidence came from controlled studies that demonstrated greater anxiety reduction in intervention groups than in control groups. Nevertheless, differences in intervention frequency, measurement instruments, participant parity, and research design limit direct comparison. Hypnobirthing may be considered a supportive non-pharmacological intervention in maternity nursing, but larger randomized studies using standardized protocols are required.

Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcers are serious complications of type 2 diabetes and are associated with neuropathy, impaired circulation, infection, disability, and risk of amputation. Family involvement may strengthen adherence to daily foot inspection, foot-care practices, and diabetic foot exercises. This literature review evaluated the effectiveness of family-based foot-care and foot-exercise education in supporting diabetic foot ulcer prevention. Google Scholar was searched for full-text Indonesian or English studies published from 2020 to 2025. Experimental and quasi-experimental studies involving patients with type 2 diabetes and family participation were selected. Of 1,270 records identified, five studies met the eligibility and methodological criteria. Four studies used pretest-posttest designs and one was a randomized controlled trial. Educational approaches included audiovisual presentations, leaflets, videos, lectures, demonstrations, and family-centered counseling delivered for seven days to four weeks. All studies reported significant improvements in patient or family knowledge and/or foot-care practice (reported p < 0.001). However, most studies measured knowledge and behavior rather than incident diabetic foot ulcers, and several were short, uncontrolled educational reports. Therefore, the evidence supports improvement in proximal prevention outcomes but is insufficient to confirm a direct reduction in ulcer incidence. Family-based education may be integrated into nursing care, provided that it includes foot inspection, safe foot care, exercise instruction, glycemic management, and referral for early foot abnormalities.
