Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between acid-base balance disturbances and intracerebral hemorrhage volume with mortality rates in hemorrhagic stroke cases. The research used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach and was conducted at Dr. Soeratno Gemolong General Hospital, Sragen, from September to November 2024. The study population consisted of medical records of patients diagnosed with hemorrhagic stroke at the hospital between August 2021 and August 2024 who met the inclusion criteria. A total of 50 samples were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis included univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression. The results showed a significant relationship between acid–base balance disturbances and intracerebral hemorrhage volume with mortality in hemorrhagic stroke cases (p=0.001). In addition, intracerebral hemorrhage volume was significantly associated with mortality (p=0.007). Multivariate analysis confirmed that both acid–base imbalance and hemorrhage volume significantly influence mortality outcomes. These findings indicate that acid–base imbalance and intracerebral hemorrhage volume greater than 30 ml are strong predictors of mortality in hemorrhagic stroke patients. Therefore, strict monitoring of arterial blood gases, neurological status, and hemodynamic stability is essential during the acute phase of care. Early detection of physiological deterioration and prompt intervention may help reduce the risk of adverse outcomes. Future research is recommended to use prospective multicenter designs with larger sample sizes to further clarify causal relationships and evaluate whether early correction of acid–base disturbances can improve mortality outcomes in hemorrhagic stroke patients.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is often associated with chronic inflammatory processes. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6) play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension, whereas anti-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin-10 (IL-10) can inhibit inflammatory effects. Slow Deep Breathing Exercise (SDBE) has been linked to improved autonomic nervous system regulation and potential anti-inflammatory effects. This study used a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 35 pre-elderly and elderly participants with hypertension. Subjects underwent SDBE intervention for six weeks, three sessions per week, with each session lasting 10–15 minutes. IL-6 and IL-10 levels were measured using the ELISA method, and blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. There was a significant increase in IL-10 levels after the intervention (p = 0.000), but IL-6 levels showed no significant change (p = 0.108). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly decreased from 158.54±13.86 mmHg to 149.69±13.90 mmHg (p = 0.005) and from 88.80±15.08 mmHg to 84.66±8.99 mmHg (p = 0.005), respectively. In older adults with hypertension, slow deep breathing exercise can lower blood pressure and raise IL-10 levels, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, while IL-6 levels did not significantly change. This intervention can be used as a non-pharmacological therapy to help manage hypertension.

Abstract

Menopausal symptoms can reduce quality of life in elderly women and their severity is influenced by physical activity levels. In European regions approximately 70-80% women experiencing menopausal symptoms, whereas in America the proportion is around 60% and in Asia, reports indicate that approximately 10% of women in Japan and Indonesia experience menopausal symptoms. Hand grip training as a form of resistance training has the potential to increase muscle strength and help reduce menopausal symptoms. This study aims to evaluate the effect of hand grip training on menopausal symptoms in active and inactive elderly women in the community. The study used a  quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test two-group design consisting of 34 elderly women aged 50–60 years who were divided into active and inactive groups based on their physical activity levels using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) questionnaire. The hand grip training intervention was given for 4 weeks with a frequency of 3 times per week for 12 training sessions. Menopausal symptoms were measured using the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test for the active group and Paired Sample T-Test for the inactive group. In the active group, the median MRS scored decreased from 7.00 to 6.00 (p=0.001). In the inactive group, the mean MRS scored decreased from 12.24±3.80 to 8.53±3.52 (p=0.000). Hand grip training siginificantly reduces menopausal symptoms in both active and inactive elderly with greater improvement observed in the inactive group. This simple exercise can be effectively implemented in community-based settings to help manage menopausal symptoms among postmenopausal elderly women.

Abstract

Cancer transcends physical pathology, manifesting as a chronic condition that imposes profound psychological, social, and spiritual burdens, often compromising the patient's quality of life (QoL). Recognizing that disease progression is a potential predictor of this decline, this study aims to analyze the correlation between cancer staging and quality of life. Conducted at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital using an observational cross-sectional design, the study involved 75 cancer patients recruited via purposive sampling based on Slovin’s formula. Cancer staging data were validated through medical records and interviews, while QoL was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 instrument. Data analysis using the Spearman Rank correlation test revealed that the majority of respondents presented with advanced-stage cancer and reported moderate-to-low QoL. A significant correlation was found (p-value 0,001), indicating an inverse relationship where advanced cancer stages are associated with lower quality of life. These findings underscore the urgency of early detection and comprehensive symptom management, including the optimization of palliative care. Consequently, this study recommends the integration of routine QoL assessments into clinical practice and the reinforcement of the nurse's role in the holistic management of cancer patients.
