Abstract

Latar Belakang: Hemoroid grade IV sering disertai nyeri hebat dan perdarahan per-anal berisiko menimbulkan banyak komplikasi serius. Pada kondisi ini, hemoroidektomi merupakan salah satu pilihan terapi terbaik. Meski demikian, pengambilan keputusan untuk menjalani hemoroidektomi sering menjadi hal yang sulit bagi sebagian pasien. Tujuan: Studi ini ditujukan untuk mendeskripsikan masalah kesehatan, pengambilan keputusan dan peran advokasi perawat pada pasien dengan hemoroid grade IV. Metode: Jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus deskriptif yang dilakukan pada pasien Ny.Y (44 tahun) di ruang rawat penyakit dalam. Data didapatkan dari wawancara, pengkajian fisik, observasi, dan studi dokumen. Hasil: Pasien menderita hemoroid selama 27 tahun dan mengeluhkan perburukan benjolan di area anus disertai nyeri dan perdarahan per-anal. Lima tahun lalu (2017) pasien menjalani hospitalisasi dan disarankan dilakukan hemoroidektomi, namun pasien menolak karena takut dan merasa kondisinya akan membaik dengan pengaturan pola makan. Saat ini rehospitalisasi ke 2 pasien mengalami nyeri kronis, gangguan perfusi perifer (anemia berat), dan deficit nutrisi. Selama perawatan, pasien mendapatkan edukasi dan informasi dari perawat terkait diagnosa yang dialami dan tindakan hemoroidektomi hingga pada hari ke-4 perawatan, pasien memutuskan untuk dilakukan hemoroidektomi karena pasien tersadar bahwa kondisinya tidak akan membaik tanpa operasi. Selain pemberian intervensi untuk mengatasi masalah aktual, pemberian informasi secara berkesinambungan dan refleksi terhadap kondisi yang dialami dapat membantu pasien mengambil keputusan yang tepat. Simpulan: Perburukan kondisi tidak serta merta membuat pasien mengambil keputusan secara cepat dan tepat. Peran advokasi perawat dalam pemberian informasi yang berkesinambungan merupakan peran penting yang membantu pasien dalam proses pengambilan keputusan yang lebih baik, lebih cepat dan lebih tepat.

Abstract

Implementing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and Coronary Artery    Bypass Graft (CABG) among CHD patients does not entirely eliminate the risk of recurrence, stenosis, and death. These conditions may affect the patient's physical, psychological, and social condition. Changes in these conditions influence the quality of life. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the quality of life of post PCI and CABG CHD patients.The study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used convenience sampling and obtained 42 respondents for one month. The data collection was conducted at Dr. Slamet Garut's cardiac outpatient unit using the Indonesian version of the Quality of Life After Myocardial Infarction QLMI (MacNew) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using quantitative analysis.Based on the results of the data analysis, overall, respondents had a high quality of life. 71.4% of respondents had a high global quality of life. Whereas 73.8% had a high quality of life in the social domain, 71.4% had a high quality of life in the emotional domain, and 69.0% had a high quality of life in the physical domain.Most of the respondents had a high quality of life. However, there were identified that nearly one-third of patients had a low quality of life. The lowest score was presented in the physical domain. Thus, these findings indicate the need for support in the physical domain for the patient.

Abstract

Background. Engaging patients' spiritual needs with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is still primarily ignored compared to their physical needs. One thing that has been forgotten is spiritual distress assessment, even though the stress experienced can aggravate ACS conditions, especially in acute situations. This study aimed to identify spiritual distress among ACS patients in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU). Methods. This study was a quantitative research with a population of ACS patients treated in CICU at one of the hospitals in West Java. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling and obtained 34 respondents during one month. Collecting data using a modified instrument from the Spiritual Distress Assessment Tool (SDAT) and obtained a validity range of 0.33 - 0.45 and a reliability of 0.80. Data analysis using mean and frequency distribution. Results. 82.35% of respondents had mild spiritual distress, and 17.65% of respondents had moderate spiritual distress. The most disturbing spiritual distress was in the "Need for value acknowledgment," while the "Need to maintain control" was the least problematic among respondents. Conclusions. The spiritual distress experienced among ACS patients in the ICU was mostly mild. However, some patients experienced moderate distress. To reduce this distress level can be executed by paying more attention to the patient's needs to be respected regarding their values and beliefs.

Abstract

Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (IST), which is a condition in which a person has a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute for no apparent reason and if left untreated it will last for months or even years. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia can cause myocardial ischemia, reduce ventricular filling time, cause decreased cardiac output, cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrest, and death. in Indonesia itself there are no studies on IST so that researchers are interested in explaining interventions that can be done to reduce discomfort in IST patients.This research uses case studies. A 30 year old woman came to the hospital with complaints of palpitations, dyspnea, nausea and vomiting. Patients are given bed rest management, hemodynamic monitoring (vital signs, lab electrolytes, EKG), administration of oxygen, deep breathing relaxation for 3 days with a duration of 10 minutes.The results of the study found complaints of chest palpitations in patients resolved with HR: 60x/minute, BP: 98/86 mmHg, RR: 17x/minute, SpO2: 99%, complaints of nausea, vomiting and tightness in patients resolved and on the last day obtained Electrolyte test results were within normal limits.The patient was given non-pharmacological therapy, namely deep breathing relaxation therapy with the result that the patient experienced a decrease in heart rate and an increase in oxygen saturation. Giving deep breathing relaxation techniques will automatically stimulate the sympathetic nervous system to reduce levels of catecholamine substances, causing blood vessels to dilate and eventually blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate decrease.

Abstract

Background. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is the gold standard diagnostic test for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). To minimize complications after PCI, patient activity is limited to bedrest for 2-24 hours. But the long bedrest can cause complaints of back pain and discomfort. This systematic review aims to identify the position changes in the first 6 hours after PCI for back pain and discomfort. Metode. Three electronic databases were used to carry out systematic searches namely Pubmed, CINAHL ebsco and ProQuest. The keyword combination is 'percutaneous coronary intervention' AND 'position change' OR 'changing position' OR 'early mobilization' NOT 'Literature Review' OR 'review of the literature' OR 'overview' OR 'Systematic Review' OR 'meta analysis’. The inclusion criteria used were articles with the last 12 years of research 2007 - 2019, quantitative research, English and Indonesian, peer review, randomized controlled trial and quasi experiment. The article search results found 49 articles on CINAHL ebsco, 81 articles on PubMed and 273 articles on ProQuest. A total of 13 articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Results. From 13 articles, 6 articles reported a decrease in complaints of back pain and discomfort after changing positions in the first 6 hours in bed. 4 articles indicate the same thing after a change of position made the first 6 hours then walking beside the bed. And 3 articles reported a decrease in complaints of back pain and discomfort after ambulation in the first 6 hours. Conclusion. Changes in position within a period of 6 hours after PCI can reduce the incidence of back pain and discomfort that is felt by patients.Keywords: position changes, percutaneous coronary intervention

Abstract

In patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), activity intolerance is a major issue. Energy management is a non-pharmacological intervention that is commonly used in patients with activity intolerance. The problem of activity intolerance can be overcome with complementary or alternative relaxation therapy, namely the Benson relaxation technique. The goal of this case study is to describe how a combination of Benson relaxation techniques and energy management helped CAD patients with activity intolerance nursing problems. The method used in this study is a case report. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, physical examinations, and hospital medical records. Interventions are carried out to address the main problem of activity intolerance. In this study, the Benson relaxation technique was given together with energy management, namely, gradual physical activity for 3 days for 20 minutes per day. The results of this case study show that after the Benson relaxation technique intervention, which was given in conjunction with the energy management intervention, these outcomes improved, namely subjective data, complaints of fatigue after decreased activity, and objective data showing improved pulse rate and ease of doing daily activities. In conclusion, the Benson relaxation technique can be applied as a complementary and alternative intervention that is given together with energy management interventions to address the problem of activity intolerance in CAD patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Pain is a subjective thought and can be experienced by everyone. Patients with decreased consciousness may also feel pain. The intensity of pain experienced by patients in the intensive care unit ranges from moderate to severe pain. Previous studies stated that the phenomenon of pain in patients can cause physical and psychological complications. Thus, pain management in the scope of intensive care is crucial to do. Purpose: To identify management that can be done in patients with unconsciousness who experience pain. Methods: This case study used Indonesian Nursing Intervention Standards as a guideline for pain management. Results: A 29-year-old female patient with decreased consciousness was treated in the intensive care unit. The patient was in the intensive care unit for four months. The results showed a severe pain scale at the time of the assessment using the CPOT. This study established a nursing diagnosis of chronic pain related to treatment procedures characterized by a severe pain scale using the CPOT, invasive devices, and the presence of fourth-degree pressure sores on the sacrum. Conclusion: Pain management carried out is pain assessment, non-pharmacological and pharmacological management. In each of these interventions, nurses must pay attention to nursing ethics. Evaluation and documentation are carried out to review the interventions' effect and become a part of communication for interprofessional regarding the treatment process.Keywords: ICU settings, pain management, unconscious patient,
