Abstract

Hypertension is often referred to as the "silent killer" because it frequently shows no symptoms. In Indonesia, hypertension continues to rise year after year, with the incidence in 2018 reaching 658,201 cases (34.11%). The causes of hypertension are closely related to age and gender factors. Therefore, non-pharmacological nursing interventions are needed to address this, such as the five-finger hypnosis technique. Five-finger hypnosis involves focusing the mind on images or memories created while touching each of the five fingers in sequence, all in a relaxed state. This study aims to analyze the application of five-finger hypnosis in nursing care for hypertensive patients. The research method used is a case study with the implementation of the five-finger hypnosis nursing intervention. The respondents in this study consisted of five participants diagnosed with hypertension. The patients were taught the five-finger hypnosis technique for approximately 15 minutes. The results showed a decrease in blood pressure after the five-finger hypnosis therapy, with the five respondents (100%) showing an average systolic blood pressure of 146 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure of 91.6 mmHg, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 109.74 mmHg. It can be concluded that the five-finger hypnosis therapy is effective in reducing the blood pressure of hypertensive patients. Future researchers are encouraged to extend the duration of five-finger hypnosis therapy for hypertensive patients to achieve a more significant reduction in blood pressure.

Abstract

Adolescents face poor reproductive health behavior due to low literacy and access to relevant health information even though social media has the potential as a source of information. The study aims to analyze the relationship between social media access and adolescent reproductive health behavior. This research method is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling technique with proportionate random sampling as many as 290 students of SMK Tujuh Lima 1 Purwokerto and SMK Ma'arif NU 2 Ajibarang class X and XI. The research instrument is online through google form. The social media access questionnaire has been tested for validity and reliability with a Pearson value of 0.334 and Cronbach alpha of 0.750. The results of this study showed that the majority of respondents in SMK Kabupaten Banyumas were 16 years old (49%), female (60%), and other sources for accessing reproductive health information used electronic media (22%). Most had less social media access (54%) but good reproductive health behavior (91%). There was a weak relationship between social media access and reproductive health behavior (p-value 0.001, r = 0.188). These findings suggest to further strengthen reproductive health education through social media that is interesting and relevant to adolescents

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease, which involves lasting impairment of kidney function, can cause respiratory issues among various other systemic complications. Breathlessness is a common symptom that patients face, and if it goes unaddressed, it can worsen their overall health condition.. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the semi-Fowler position in boosting oxygen saturation and decreasing the respiratory rate in chronic kidney disease patients receiving treatment in the Emergency Department. Methods: This investigation adopted a descriptive case study method focusing on two individuals who experienced breathing difficulties due to chronic kidney disease. Interventions included the provision of oxygen and repositioning the patients into the semi-Fowler position for four hours of monitoring. The gathered data included oxygen saturation levels and respiratory rates measured before and after the intervention. Results: After being positioned in the semi-Fowler setup, both patients exhibited notable improvements in oxygen saturation and reductions in respiratory rates. Oxygen saturation levels rose from 83–94% to 99–100%, while the respiratory rate declined from 30–32 breaths per minute to 26–28 breaths per minute. Conclusions: Positioning patients in the semi-Fowler posture has been shown to effectively enhance respiratory function in individuals with chronic kidney disease within the emergency setting. This method can serve as a first-line non-invasive nursing intervention to promote patient comfort and help maintain the stability of their condition.

Abstract

Vaccination is an effective way to reduce infant mortality. It can also prevent some infectious diseases and reduce disability rates in infants. Although vaccination has been proven to be a vital public health effort, its coverage has not yet reached the predetermined target of the Ministry of Health's Strategic Plan. Factors influencing mothers’ intention to get their babies vaccinated are education, knowledge, age, support, attitude, and distance. This research aims to analyze factors affecting the completeness of basic vaccination for toddlers. This analytical study used a survey method with a retrospective approach. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires. Data analysis covered univariate and bivariate analyses using the Chi-square. The population in this study was mothers with toddlers aged 12-24 months. The total sampling size was 165 mothers. The results showed that around 160 (97%) mothers completed their toddlers’ basic vaccination, while the other 5 mothers (3%) did not complete their toddlers’ vaccination. Education (p=9.992), occupation (p=9.746), knowledge (p=0.890), support (p=0.764), attitude (p=0.095), and distance (p=2.354) did not influence the completeness of vaccination. However, age (p=0.004) influenced the completeness of basic vaccination for toddlers. It can be concluded that age influences the completeness of basic vaccination for toddlers with a value of (p=0.004).
