Abstract

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease development from acute kidney failure that is progressive and slow which usually lasts for a long time, causing the kidneys to lose their ability to maintain the composition and amount of fluid in a normal state. Hemodialysis is a therapy that can improve the condition of patients with chronic kidney failure, but on the other hand this treatment method also makes patients have to face various problems, one of which is fatigue. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Progressive muscle relaxation on the level of fatigue in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The method used in this intervention study was a case study with a quantitative descriptive approach by evaluating the implementation of the Progressive muscle relaxation intervention. The instrument for measuring the level of fatigue used the FACIT-fatigue scale questionnaire. The results of this study showed that in the initial assessment the patient experienced severe fatigue with a score of 11 and after being given Progressive muscle relaxation intervention, the patient's fatigue score became 24, which is moderate fatigue. From the results of this study it can be concluded that there is an effect of giving Progressive muscle relaxation on reducing the level of fatigue in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract

Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) during pregnancy can interfere with physical activity, sleep patterns, and quality of life. One safe and effective therapy to relieve it is prenatal gentle yoga. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prenatal gentle yoga on the level of LBP in pregnant women at Hulonthalangi Health Center. The research design used quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest control group. A total of 24 pregnant women were divided into two groups, those are intervention (prenatal gentle yoga) and control (educational leaflet). The prenatal gentle yoga intervention was carried out over four sessions, with a frequency of twice a week, and each session lasted for 30 to 45 minutes.Test results of independent t-test showed an average difference in pain of -2.83 points with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), which means there was a significant decrease in pain in the intervention group. Around 83.3% respondents in the intervention group experienced a decrease in pain from moderate and severe pain to mild and no pain, while the control group only had 33.3%. This study shows that prenatal gentle yoga is significantly effective in reducing Low back pain (LBP) in pregnant women.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is defined as a condition in which an individual has a systolic blood pressure ? 140 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure ? 90 mmHg. Systolic blood pressure is the main measure used to diagnose hypertension. Hypertension is often referred to as a "silent killer" due to its asymptomatic nature, causing patients to be unaware of their condition. Globally, 1.28 billion people are affected by hypertension; in Indonesia, 70 million people (28%) have hypertension, with Jakarta ranking 9th among Indonesian provinces in 2017 with a prevalence of 33.43%. Methods: This study employed a descriptive narrative case study design. The subjects were three adult patients diagnosed with hypertension. Results: The case study showed a non-pharmacological effect of lavender aromatherapy in lowering blood pressure among hypertensive patients. All three patients were given lavender aromatherapy over three days. The goal was to reduce pain and stabilize blood pressure. Expected outcomes included decreased pain complaints, improved vital signs, and reduced BP. Conclusion: This study suggests that lavender aromatherapy can serve as an alternative nursing intervention for reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients and can be independently administered by nurses as a non-pharmacological therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: Health literacy is a competence that is not only important for patients but also for nursing students. Nursing students will interact with patients with varying health literacy levels during their education and throughout their careers. Despite its importance, research on health literacy among professional nursing students is limited. This study aims to assess the health literacy practices of professional nursing students in Makassar City. This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional survey approach. The population in this study consisted of nursing students in the professional nursing stage. The sampling technique is non-probability sampling with consecutive sampling. The respondents involved in this study were 72 nursing students. Data collection was conducted online using a Google Form. The analysis used descriptive statistics, with the results showing frequency distribution, mean, and SD. The study found that among the students, 69.4% were aged 17-25 years, with a mean age of 26.22. The majority were female (75.0%), and from South Sulawesi (80.6%). Related to their education, 73.6% were in the first semester of clinical placement, and have graduated from bachelor of nursing within a year (90.3%). In addition, the average scores for the four aspects of health literacy were: knowledge 14.31 (SD 1.41), communication 34.32 (SD 4.22), shared decision-making 41.11 (SD 5.60), and interpersonal skills 37.49 (SD 4.54). As health literacy is a dynamic skill that needs to be improved through training and experience, nursing education programs must continue to develop students' health literacy competencies from the undergraduate level to the clinical placement stage. Continuous training and periodic assessment of health literacy competencies are recommended to ensure students can apply their knowledge in practice.

Abstract

Introduction: Background: Non-compliance with TB treatment is one of the main and most crucial challenges in global TB control efforts. This condition contributes to high rates of treatment failure. Approximately 40% of patients in developing countries are known to have low compliance with pulmonary TB treatment. Methods: This was a descriptive case study using a pre- and post-test approach. The instrument used in this case study was the 8-Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale questionnaire to measure the level of medication adherence among tuberculosis patients, namely Ms. S. This study was conducted in the treatment room of the Infection Center RSUP Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar held from June 27, 2025 to July 11, 2025. Before conducting the intervention, the researchers obtained informed consent from the patients and their families, and the study obtained permission from the hospital. Result: The provision of structured educational interventions and daily reminders in the form of reminder books can be considered effective in improving medication adherence among TB patients, as evidenced by the post-intervention questionnaire score of 6 (moderate adherence level), which increased from the pre-intervention questionnaire score of 1 (low adherence level). Conclusion: From this case study, it was found that the implementation of structural educational interventions and daily reminders was effective in improving medication adherence among TB patients.
