Abstract

Gout arthritis is a degenerative disease that affects the joint system and is characterized by the accumulation of uric acid crystals, which trigger inflammatory processes. This condition causes symptoms such as swelling, redness, and pain in several parts of the body. In addition to pharmacological therapy, non-pharmacological interventions such as warm cinnamon compresses may be used to help reduce pain complaints. This study aimed to determine the benefits of warm cinnamon compresses in reducing pain intensity among patients with gout arthritis. The research method employed was a literature review of five scientific articles obtained through a systematic search of Google Scholar and ResearchGate based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review results indicated that all analyzed articles reported a reduction in pain intensity, from severe to mild pain, following the application of cinnamon compresses in elderly patients with gout arthritis. In conclusion, warm cinnamon compresses have an effect on reducing pain in elderly individuals with gout arthritis.

Abstract

Hypertension is influenced by various factors, including age, genetic history, a sedentary lifestyle, psychological stress, high-sodium diet, smoking, and lack of physical activity. Hypertension management includes pharmacological therapy with antihypertensive medications and non-pharmacological approaches such as relaxation techniques. Foot reflexology is one non-pharmacological intervention that can provide a relaxing effect, potentially lowering blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the application of foot reflexology to blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The method used was an observational case study, a research approach that aims to analyze or evaluate a physical object, process, or ongoing activity in two respondents. The results showed that foot reflexology was able to lower blood pressure in both respondents, with an average difference of 10 mmHg for the first respondent and 17.5-20 mmHg for the second respondent.

Abstract

Hypertension, known as the silent killer, is a global health problem with a high prevalence rate. Hypertension needs to be treated seriously to prevent complications. The purpose of this study was to apply nursing care and finger grip and deep breathing relaxation techniques to hypertensive patients using a comprehensive nursing process approach. This study used a descriptive method with a case study approach accompanied by the application of evidence-based practices. Nursing care was provided to a 57-year-old female patient with a medical diagnosis of hypertension. The assessment revealed four nursing problems, namely risk of decreased cardiac output, acute pain, risk of nutritional deficiency, and activity intolerance. The implementation carried out for the nursing problem of risk of decreased cardiac output included performing finger grip relaxation and deep breathing techniques. The evaluation results showed a decrease in blood pressure from 211/100 mmHg on the first day to 152/76 mmHg on the third day. Nurses can teach finger grip relaxation and deep breathing techniques to patients and families to lower blood pressure.

Abstract

Emergency Department (ED) services play a crucial role in hospital care quality. Prolonged waiting times may reduce patient satisfaction. This study aimed to determine the relationship between waiting time (independent variable) and patient satisfaction (dependent variable) in the Emergency Department of RSI NU Demak. This study used a cross-sectional design with 85 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through direct observation of waiting times and a patient satisfaction questionnaire using BEPSS. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods (Spearman's rho test). The results showed that the majority of patients experienced a waiting time of more than 8 hours (76.5%) and most had a moderate level of satisfaction (68.2%). Statistical analysis revealed no significant relationship between waiting time and patient satisfaction levels in the Emergency Department of RSI NU Demak (p = 0.463; r = 0.081). The results suggest that despite the waiting time exceeding the ideal standard, patient satisfaction remained high. This may indicate that factors such as staff empathy, effective communication, service comfort, and socio-economic and demographic backgrounds played a role in shaping patients’ satisfaction.

Abstract

Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from insulin resistance. One effective and simple non-pharmacological intervention is foot exercise as part of aerobic activity, which aims to improve blood circulation and insulin sensitivity. This study aims to examine the effect of foot exercise on blood glucose levels in patients with type II diabetes mellitus and to provide a critical review of its effectiveness. The research method employed a literature review approach of three articles obtained through a systematic search using Google Scholar based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings indicate that all three studies reported foot exercise to be effective in reducing blood glucose levels in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Therefore, it can be concluded that foot exercise has a significant effect on lowering blood glucose levels in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Future studies are expected to further develop this research by expanding the study population and varying the duration and frequency of foot exercise.
