Abstract

ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve block (PNB) is a key technique in perioperative pain management, effectively reducing pain intensity and opioid consumption. However, the phenomenon of rebound pain, defined as a significant increase in pain after the resolution of nerve block effects, has emerged as an increasingly recognized clinical challenge. This review aims to evaluate the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical impact, and prevention strategies of rebound pain. A narrative review approach was employed through literature searches in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using keywords related to rebound pain and peripheral nerve block. Included articles comprised clinical studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses published within the last five years and relevant to the topic. The literature was critically analyzed and synthesized narratively. Rebound pain typically occurs within 12–24 hours postoperatively and is associated with peripheral and central sensitization, tissue inflammation, and increased neuronal excitability. Risk factors include younger age, orthopedic procedures, use of single-shot blocks, and inadequate multimodal analgesia. Clinical consequences include sleep disturbances, increased opioid consumption, and reduced patient satisfaction. Prevention strategies involve patient education, administration of analgesics prior to block resolution, use of dexamethasone, and continuous nerve block techniques. With an evidence-based approach, the benefits of PNB can be optimized without increasing the risk of rebound pain, thereby improving the quality of perioperative pain management. Keywords: Peripheral Nerve Block, Rebound Pain, Multimodal Analgesia, Dexamethasone, Postoperative Pain.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Urinary incontinence is a common health issue among the elderly, particularly women (approximately 77% of cases), influenced by physiological factors such as pelvic floor muscle weakness due to menopause, a history of multiple pregnancies, and comorbid conditions like hypertension (38%), osteoarthritis (31%), and diabetes (20%). The prevalence of this condition increases the risk of social isolation and declines in quality of life, while low physical activity (light to moderate) worsens the condition due to sarcopenia and balance impairments. This study explores risk factors and the effectiveness of non-invasive interventions such as Kegel exercises for prevention and rehabilitation. To identify risk factors for urinary incontinence (UI) in elderly women, including pregnancy history, chronic diseases, and physical activity levels, and to analyze the physiological impact of multiple pregnancies on pelvic floor muscles in elderly women at Puskesmas Pandanwangi, Malang, Indonesia, as well as the relationship between these factors and UI. This study employed a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test one-group design involving 65 elderly participants, data collected simultaneously to provide a snapshot of their current condition. The dependent variables were quality of life in elderly individuals with incontinence, measured using the ICIQ-SF (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire) and the 3IQ (Three Incontinence Questionnaire). Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with the assistance of SPSS 26. The findings indicate a significant effect (p-value = 0.000) of Kegel training on the quality of life among elderly individuals with incontinence, restoring anatomical and physiological function of the urogenital system, strengthening neuromuscular control, promoting physical mobility and freedom, and stimulating improvements in mental health and overall quality of life.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Fraud in the implementation of the National Health Insurance (JKN) services is a serious challenge in Indonesia. Preventing fraud needs to be strengthened through a systemic organizational communication strategy based on digital technology, especially by improving information technology in hospitals, such as Hospital Management Information Systems (SIMRS) and the E-claim application. Previous studies have highlighted the role of these technologies in detecting fraud, but few have examined the role of internal communication across units in supporting the effectiveness of digital interventions for reporting and detecting fraud. This article uses a Scoping Review based on the Arksey O’Malley (2005) framework and PRISMA-ScR reporting to map the literature on the integration of organizational communication and information technology in preventing fraud in JKN at hospitals. The thematic analysis based on CIMO (Context, Intervention, Mechanism, and Outcome) shows that the success of anti-fraud technology strongly depends on systemic internal communication mechanisms and an open organizational culture. The main recommendation is a fraud prevention strategy that integrates technology and organizational communication to achieve sustainable transparency and accountability. Keywords: Organizational Communication, JKN Fraud, Information Technology, SIMRS.  ABSTRAK Fraud atau kecurangan  dalam pelaksanaan layanan Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) menjadi tantangan serius di Indonesia. Pencegahan fraud perlu diperkuat melalui strategi komunikasi organisasi sistemik berbasis digital, terutama dengan peningkatan teknologi informasi di rumah sakit, seperti SIMRS (Sistem Informasi Manajemen Rumah Sakit)  dan aplikasi e-claim. Terdapat studi penelitian yang menyoroti peran teknologi tersebut dalam mendeteksi fraud, namun belum banyak yang mengkaji peran komunikasi internal lintas unit dalam mendukung efektivitas intervensi digital pada proses pelaporan dan deteksi fraud. Artikel ini menggunakan Scoping Review dengan kerangka Arksey O’Malley(2005) dan pelaporan PRISMA-ScR untuk memetakan literatur tentang integrasi komunikasi organisasi dan teknologi informasi dalam pencegahan fraud JKN di rumah sakit. Analisis tematik berbasis CIMO (Context, Intervention, Mechanism dan Outcome) menunjukkan bahwa keberhasilan teknologi anti-fraud sangat tergantung pada mekanisme komunikasi internal dan budaya organisasi terbuka. Rekomendasi utama adalah strategi pencegahan fraud yang mengintegrasikan teknologi dan komunikasi organisasi untuk mencapai transparansi serta akuntabilitas yang berkelanjutan. Kata Kunci: Komunikasi Organisasi, Fraud JKN, Teknologi Informasi, SIMRS.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Primary dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual problem among adolescent girls and is often associated with elevated prostaglandin levels, which trigger excessive uterine contractions and pain. Nutritional interventions are increasingly explored as non-pharmacological alternatives to reduce dysmenorrhea, with soy milk and cow’s milk being two commonly studied options. This study aims to synthesize existing evidence on the effectiveness of soy milk and cow’smilk in reducing primary dysmenorrhea among adolescents. Method: This study used a Systematic Literature Review(SLR) based on the PICO framework—population (adolescent girls), intervention (milk consumption), comparison (soy milk vs. cow’s milk), and outcome (reduction in dysmenorrhea pain). Articles published from 2015–2025 were searched in Google Scholar, Scopus (via Publish or Perish), and PubMed using Boolean keywords related to adolescents, soy milk, cow’s milk, and dysmenorrhea. Eligible studies included original research on adolescents with primary dysmenorrhea, clear milk dosage and duration, standardized instruments, and full text in Indonesian or English. After duplicate removal, screening, and full-text assessment, data on study characteristics, milk type, dosage, duration, and pain reduction were narratively synthesized. The initial literature search identified 1,007 journals from After going through a selection process, 4 journals met the requirements for analysis.The synthesis revealed that both soy milk and cow’s milk reduce primary dysmenorrhea based on NRS score, but soy milk showed more consistent effects. Consumption of 250 ml soy milk once daily for 1–2 days reduced pain by 3–4 NRS points. This benefit is supported by its nutrient content, where 250 ml soy milk contains 25–40 mg isoflavones (genistein daidzein and glycitein) and 200–300 mg calcium, or up to 500 mg in fortified products. Cow’s milk also reduced pain, with the best effect at 1,000 mg calcium/day (reduction of 4–5 NRS points), but its results were less stable. Overall, soy milk was more consistently effective than cow’s milk. Soy milk is a simple, safe, and effective non-pharmacological option for managing primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents, offering stronger and more consistent results than cow’s milk. It may be recommended as part of menstrual health education and daily nutritional intake for adolescent girls. Keywords: Soy Milk, Cow’s Milk, Primary Dysmenorrhea, Isoflavones, Calcium.
