Abstract

This study describes a case of Ischialgia caused by hernia nucleus pulposus (HNP) in a 44-year-old male patient. The patient presented with complaints of pain in the buttocks radiating to the right leg, accompanied by tingling and numbness, particularly after heavy physical activity. The diagnosis was established through anamnesis, physical examinations such as the Lasegue, Bragard and Socard tests, and MRI imaging, which revealed bulging discs at L1-2, L2-3, L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1. Management was conducted using a holistic approach, including pharmacological therapy (NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, and vitamin B12), physiotherapy, and a lumbar corset to support spinal stability. After four days of treatment, the patient showed significant improvement, with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score decreasing from 8 to 3, normal motor strength recovery, and improved walking ability. Lifestyle modification education was provided to prevent recurrence, such as reducing heavy physical activities and engaging in controlled physical exercises. These results emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary therapy in managing HNP cases to enhance the patient’s quality of life. This case contributes significantly to clinical practice by demonstrating the effectiveness of an integrated approach in optimally managing HNP.

Abstract

Pain assessment is a critical aspect of delivering quality care, particularly in intensive care units (ICU). Undetected and poorly managed pain can negatively impact patient recovery. One of the commonly used pain assessment methods for non-verbal patients is the FLACC scale (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of FLACC pain assessment education through Zoom media on the assessment skills of ICU nurses at Kapuas B RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar, East Java Province. The research employs a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design using the one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consists of 27 ICU nurses selected through total sampling. The results showed that before the education intervention, most nurses (74.1%) were deemed incompetent in pain assessment skills. After the intervention, the majority of nurses (85.2%) were assessed as competent. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test indicated a significant difference in assessment skills before and after the education intervention (Z = -4.000; Asymp. Sig. = 0.000). These findings demonstrate that providing education through Zoom is effective in improving the assessment skills of nurses in using the FLACC scale to evaluate patient pain in the ICU. Continuous education for healthcare professionals, particularly ICU nurses, is crucial to enhance pain assessment skills and support optimal patient care. Online education methods, such as via Zoom, prove to be an efficient alternative in certain circumstances.

Abstract

Introduction: A Headache is a common complaint among individuals with hypertension and is often associated with elevated blood pressure. One form of complementary therapy that can be applied to alleviate this symptom is Slow Stroke Back Massage (SSBM). Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of Slow Stroke Back Massage on headache intensity in older adults with hypertension. Methods: This quantitative research employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest approach. Thirty-four hypertensive older adults participated in the study and were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention group received SSBM therapy three times per week for 10 minutes over four weeks, while the control group received only standard antihypertensive medication. Headache intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Results: The mean pre-test headache intensity score was 6.12 ± 1.62 in the intervention group and 5.82 ± 1.55 in the control group. After the intervention, the mean scores decreased to 2.71 ± 1.53 and 3.82 ± 1.55, respectively. The reduction in headache intensity was 3.41 points in the intervention group and 2.00 points in the control group. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference in the intervention group (p = 0.000), while the paired sample t-test confirmed significance in the control group (p = 0.000). The pre-test comparison between groups using the independent t-test indicated no significant difference (p = 0.592), whereas the post-test comparison using the Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant difference (p = 0.041). These findings suggest that SSBM significantly reduces headache intensity among hypertensive older adults. Conclusions: Slow Stroke Back Massage is an effective, safe, and non-pharmacological intervention for reducing headache intensity in hypertensive patients. Its application is recommended as a complementary therapy in elderly care.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is still one of the major health problems in Indonesia, especially in women of childbearing age (WUS). Management of hypertension through non-pharmacological methods such as exercise and spiritual approaches has proven to be effective and efficient. Brisk Walking Exercise (BWE) and Dzikir Asma'ul Husna (DAH) Meditation are promising interventions in holistic blood pressure control. Objective: To determine the efficacy of the combination of Brisk Walking Exercise and Dzikir Asma'ul Husna Meditation (BWE-DAH) on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in women of childbearing age with hypertension. Methods: The research design is quasi-experimental with pre-post test control group design. The sample amounted to 34 women of childbearing age who were divided into two groups, namely the intervention group (BWE-DAH) and the control group (BWE alone). The intervention was conducted for 2 weeks. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: The intervention group showed a significant reduction in systolic (mean reduction 17.4 mmHg) and diastolic (mean reduction 7.7 mmHg) blood pressure (p<0.05). The control group only showed a significant reduction in diastolic pressure (mean 3.4 mmHg). Comparison between groups showed significant differences in systolic blood pressure, but not in diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion: The combination of Brisk Walking Exercise and Dzikir Asma'ul Husna Meditation is more effective in reducing systolic blood pressure than Brisk Walking Exercise alone. These results suggest that a spiritual approach can strengthen the effectiveness of physical interventions in the management of hypertension.
