<![CDATA[A knee meniscus tear is a sports injury that commonly occurs due to sudden twisting movements. This condition causes various levels of musculoskeletal pain. This case report aimed to evaluate exercise therapy to reduce pain in patients with lateral meniscus tears. We presented a 26 years old female patient diagnosed with a lateral, medial meniscus tear and left lateral meniscus tear due to a combat sports injury. Physiotherapy interventions were given in ice packs, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), and Ultrasound (US) to reduce pain. Our study concluded that physiotherapeutic intervention reduced the pain due to the integument rupture and vice versa, increasing the range of motion and thigh muscle strength. Keywords: Pain management; case report; physiotherapy; healthcare professionals; innovation in musculoskeletal care]]>

<![CDATA[As the global population lives longer, healthcare systems must adapt to meet new problems. The seamless transition of patients from acute care settings to home environments is now possible thanks to the implementation of transitional care teams. It may be said that nurses' duties have 'emerged differently' than their conventional counterparts. To better support care integration, various nurse duties have been taken on. This article presents a clinical experience that was gained while working in a nursing home in Singapore. When working in a foreign country, nurses should be well prepared, both in terms of their knowledge and their professional skills.

<![CDATA[Delayed wound healing is currently a concern in diabetic foot ulcer care. The problems occur due to ineffective blood flow to the wound, causing the leg muscles to feel stiff. Innovative approaches are needed to address this delay and accelerate healing. Therefore, this study aims to use a diabetic foot spa to increase tissue perfusion on the wound. The study uses a case study design involving one elderly patient living with a diabetic foot ulcer. Ethical clearance was obtained before the study began. A diabetic foot spa was implemented during the study. The research data uses descriptive research methods, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that diabetic foot spa improves tissue perfusion or blood flow to the feet within 5 days of use. The therapy also promoted blood flow to the wounds, relaxing and making the patient more comfortable. It is important to note that diabetic foot spacan be used in the community for patients living with diabetic foot ulcers.

<![CDATA[Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease characterized by elevated blood pressure. However, studies on the use of water immersion to reduce hypertension are scarce in the literature. Therefore, this study aims to provide an overview of the application of warm water foot soaks with a mixture of salt to reduce blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension. The research design for this study utilizes a case study approach with purposive sampling. The author systematically observed hypertension patients and collected factual data. A sample of elderly patients with stage 1 hypertension, aged 56 years, was selected. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. This study indicates that warm water foot soak therapy with a mixture of salt can reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure after 6 sessions, with each session lasting 15–20 minutes. The application of warm water foot soaks with a mixture of salt can lower blood pressure due to the dilation of blood vessels, which reduces muscle tension and increases tissue metabolism. Warm water foot soaks with a mixture of salt appear to be an effective method for reducing blood pressure in elderly patients with hypertension. Further research is recommended to explore this therapy's long-term benefits and potential applications. Keywords: Health innovation; healthcare professionals; complementary therapy for hypertension; warm water soak; chronic illness.]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension care in nursing involves a comprehensive approach to managing and reducing high blood pressure in patients. Guided imagery is an effective complementary therapy in hypertension care. However, studies exploring the benefits of this therapy for patients living with hypertension are limited. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of guided imagery in reducing hypertension. Using a descriptive case study approach, the study focused on a hypertensive female adolescent. Factors such as obesity, family history of hypertension, high salt consumption, and limited knowledge were identified as contributors to hypertension in adolescents. Non-pharmacological therapies like guided imagery can be used alongside pharmacological treatments to manage hypertension in this population. Community nurses are encouraged to incorporate guided imagery therapy to alleviate symptoms of hypertension and enhance overall patient care. Keywords: Hypertension; community nursing; guided imagery; non-pharmacological therapy; adults nursing]]>

<![CDATA[Macroangiopathy leads to diabetic ulcers due to vascular insufficiency and neuropathy. Treating such wounds requires innovative approaches, including wound washing with a decoction of red betel leaves (Piper ornatum). This case study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this method in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. The study employs a descriptive design with purposive sampling. The participant, Mrs. S, is a 41-year-old woman with grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers. Data were collected through participatory observation, unstructured interviews, and documentation. Results indicated that wound cleansing with red betel leaf decoction improved wound tissue regeneration. The Bates Jensen Wound Assessment Tool score decreased from 35 to 28 after four treatments, indicating significant wound regeneration. It is hoped that healthcare professionals will adopt this method to optimize wound healing.

<![CDATA[Type 2 diabetes often affects women due to a combination of physical and psychological factors. For women of reproductive age, complications include prenatal morbidity and mortality, increased rates of cesarean deliveries, and chronic hypertension. When left untreated, this will impact the patient's quality of life. This study aims to identify the risk factors influencing blood sugar control among women of reproductive age with type 2 diabetes. A correlational study design was employed, with a sample of 43 respondents selected using total sampling techniques. Multiple linear regression was used for statistical analysis. The study identified significant associations between blood sugar control and risk factors such as body mass index, physical activity, food intake, and employment (p < 0.05). Further research is necessary to explore these risk factors in greater depth and to develop targeted nursing interventions.

<![CDATA[Toilet training in children is a crucial developmental milestone, focusing on teaching them to control defecation and urination. The absence of effective toilet training can result in several challenges, including social embarrassment when interacting with toilet-trained peers and increased stress and anxiety for both the child and parents. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of oral and modeling techniques in enhancing toilet training. Utilizing a case study design, we employed participatory observation, unstructured interviews, and documentation to gather data. The sample consisted of a pediatric patient aged 18-24 months. Data analysis was performed using domain analysis after tabulation. The findings indicate that employing oral and modeling techniques significantly improves toilet training outcomes in children. These methods are recommended for parents to implement in-home care settings to facilitate successful toilet training. Keywords: Toilet training; oral techniques; modeling techniques; pediatric care; innovation in pediatric care]]>
