Abstract

Anxiety in patients undergoing Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) surgery can have a significant impact on the physiological and psychological aspects of the patient. Anxiety in preoperative patients can result in surgery being postponed or canceled. One effort that can be made to reduce anxiety levels in preoperative TURP patients is to provide SEFT therapy. During tapping, there is an increase in the process of neurotransmitter signal travel, which reduces the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal Axis (HPA axis), thereby reducing the production of stress hormones. This research method uses a case study, and pre-and post-implementation measurements are carried out. The sample used was one person. The research sample was given treatment, namely SEFT therapy, to reduce anxiety levels. The results of SEFT therapy were observed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) measuring instrument. There was a decrease in anxiety levels before and after treatment; namely, the STAI score decreased to 31 (moderate anxiety). SEFT therapy can reduce anxiety because the tapping mechanism in SEFT therapy has the function of releasing endorphin hormones. Endorphin hormones help reduce psychological symptoms such as anxiety.

Abstract

School-age children face various health challenges due to the suboptimal implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), including irregular handwashing with soap and improper waste disposal. A lack of awareness regarding PHBS is one of the main contributing factors. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive educational approach using the Human Ludo game to enhance PHBS knowledge among school-age children. This research employed a one-group pretest-posttest design, with data analysis conducted using the Wilcoxon test. The results revealed a statistically significant increase in knowledge following the intervention (p-value = 0.000, significance level = 0.005), demonstrating the effectiveness of the Human Ludo game. Its interactive nature fosters active engagement, allowing children to better comprehend and retain health-related concepts. In conclusion, the Human Ludo game significantly improves children's knowledge of PHBS, providing an innovative, engaging, and effective learning method that can be widely applied in school-based health education programs. This game-based learning approach encourages participation, enhances knowledge retention, and promotes healthy behaviors. Future studies should explore the long-term effects of the Human Ludo game on knowledge retention and its potential applications across broader educational topics.

Abstract

Labor pain is a physiological phenomenon experienced by every pregnant woman. However, the response to this pain varies greatly, from screaming and crying to getting angry. One non-pharmacological method that can be used to reduce labor pain is back massage. This technique involves applying pressure to soft tissue, such as muscles, tendons, or ligaments, without causing joint movement. Massage not only relieves pain but also increases relaxation and improves blood circulation. However, an initial Bukit Hindu Palangka Raya Community Health Center survey showed that most pregnant women did not understand this technique. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of health education regarding back massage techniques on the level of knowledge of pregnant women in adapting to labor pain. This research uses a pre-experimental design with a "one-group pre-test and post-test design" approach. Sampling was carried out by purposive sampling with 30 pregnant women as respondents. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon statistical test to assess differences in knowledge levels before and after intervention. The results of statistical analysis show a significance value < p-value (0.000 < 0.05), which means the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. This shows that health education about back massage techniques has a significant influence on increasing the level of knowledge of pregnant women in adapting to labor pain. This research proves that health education effectively increases pregnant women's understanding of back massage techniques. This method can be a non-pharmacological solution to reduce labor pain. It is hoped that health workers can be more proactive in educating pregnant women through direct discussions or visual media such as flipcharts. Health education about back massage techniques has been proven to increase pregnant women's knowledge in adapting to labor pain. Implementing this kind of counseling routinely in health facilities is important to support the mother's comfort during birthing.

Abstract

Hormonal changes during pregnancy alter the soft tissue that supports and connects the muscles, thereby reducing muscle flexibility and resulting in pregnant women's back pain. The purpose of this research is to determine whether prenatal yoga helps pregnant women with back discomfort. A pre-experimental research design was used. Non-probability sampling was conducted using a one-group pre-test-post-test design. We used the accidental sampling method to select 10 participants for the sample at random. A pregnant woman who happened to meet a researcher could be used as a sample when viewed as a suitable respondent. Data collection was done with observation sheets using the Numeric Rating Scale pain scale. According to the Wilcoxon test results, H0 is rejected and H1 is obtained, the ρ value is equal to 0.001, and the α value is less than 0.05. A 1.9% decrease is indicated by the average difference of 6.40 ± 4.50 between the pretest and posttest. The findings of this study indicate that expectant mothers' discomfort can be lessened by using prenatal yoga. Prenatal yoga may help pregnant women with back pain, according to one study. Prenatal yoga is intended to be used in conjunction with other therapies as a supplemental treatment to help pregnant women with their back pain.

Abstract

Pneumonia can pose a serious threat to children's health. In pneumonia, increased lung secretions obstruct the airways, affecting breathing, especially in children who cannot expel sputum alone. If not treated immediately, this condition can be fatal. This study aimed to provide nursing care for children with nursing problems of ineffective airway clearance with Pursed Lips. Breathing using balloons can help improve gas exchange, which is observed by increasing oxygen saturation in the body and can help expel secretions. Participants in this study were pneumonia patients aged 3-5 years who were treated in the Bougenville Room of Dr. Haryoto Hospital, Lumajang, with nursing problems of Ineffective Airway Clearance and were not allergic to balloons. Data collection used interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the assessment showed that An. A male, 5 years old, has a weak general condition, ineffective cough, sputum, additional breathing sounds of rhonchi, and an increased respiratory rate. The nursing problem that occurred was ineffective airway clearance. The interventions carried out refer to the Indonesian Nursing Intervention Standards (SIKI) intervention, namely airway management, respiratory monitoring, and Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB) actions. To attract children's interest, PLB uses balloons conceptualized as balloon play therapy, whose mechanism is similar to PLB with an atraumatic care approach. After nursing care for 4 days, the goals were achieved. Namely, changes in effective coughing increased, sputum decreased, additional breath sounds were absent, breathing patterns changed, and breathing frequency improved. Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB) can increase alveolar expansion in each lung lobe so that alveolar pressure increases and secretions can be pushed into the airway during expiration. PLB can be carried out to increase knowledge as an innovative intervention in treating children with pneumonia diagnosed with ineffective airway clearance.
