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

Infant sleep is essential for neurological maturation, physical growth, emotional regulation, and family well-being. Touch therapy, most commonly delivered as structured infant massage, is increasingly used as a non-pharmacological strategy to support sleep; however, the strength and consistency of the available evidence require critical synthesis. This literature review evaluated the effect of touch therapy on sleep quality among infants aged 0–12 months. A structured search of Google Scholar, PubMed, and Garuda was conducted in January 2026 using terms related to infants, touch therapy or infant massage, and sleep quality. Experimental and quasi-experimental full-text studies published in English or Indonesian were screened using PICOS criteria. Six primary studies published from 2019 to 2024, involving 356 infants, were included. Two studies were randomized controlled trials, two used quasi-experimental controlled designs, and two used one-group pretest–posttest designs. Across the studies, touch therapy was associated with longer sleep duration, shorter sleep latency, fewer nocturnal awakenings, longer continuous sleep periods, and improved categorical sleep-quality scores. The strongest evidence came from controlled trials, while smaller uncontrolled studies consistently reported improvement after intervention. Nevertheless, heterogeneity in massage protocols, intervention duration, outcome instruments, and follow-up periods limits direct comparison. Touch therapy may be considered a useful supportive intervention for infant sleep when performed safely by trained caregivers, but standardized protocols and larger controlled studies are still required.

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.
