Abstract

Hemodynamic instability is a problem that often occurs in postoperative patients in the ICU, one of which is thoracotomy surgery. Signs of hemodynamic instability are an increase in Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), heart rate and respiratory rate, changes  in  decreased oxygen saturation, increased pain scale and even decreased consciousness. Maintaining hemodynamic stability in post-operative patients can be done by administering pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Nursing care that can be done to maintain the patient's hemodynamic stability includes oxygenation, head position adjustment, stimulation with both verbal and non-verbal communication approaches, gentle massage relaxation and music therapy. Music therapy that can make patients relax and calm, one of which is by dhikr therapy and listening murottal Al-Quran. Purpose: to analyze dhikr therapy and listening murottal Al-Quran on changes in hemodynamic status in postoperative (thoracotomy) patients. Methods: This study used the case study method to explore  the  problem  of  nursing  care.  The  approach  used  is  the  nursing   care  approach which includes: assessment, diagnoses, interventions, implementation and evaluation. Hemodynamic recording is recorded on a flipchart and pain measurement is carried out using the Critical Pain Observational Tool (CPOT) instrument. Results: The results showed that after 3 days of intervention, there was a decrease in heart rate, respiratory rate, pain scale, increase in GCS values and other hemodynamic component values within normal limits. Conclusion: Therapeutic intervention of dhikr and listening murottal Al-Quran can maintain hemodynamic stability in postoperative patients in the ICU.

Abstract

Quality of life of patients CAD after PCI needs to be seen as an evaluation of the interventions carried out, which need to be studied continuously by looking at health status, socioeconomic, and differences in the measurement tools used can be found differences from each item measured. This study aims to look at the quality of life of patients with CAD after PCI at the cardiac center of RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach. The samples in this study were all patients CAD after PCI who were outpatient at RSHS Bandung. Samples were taken using purposive sampling technique and obtained 100 respondents. Data is collected using Macnew instruments by analyzing data using frequency distribution.The results showed that 95 respondents (95%) had a high quality of life. The quality of life results based on subvariables from highest to lowest are obtained as follows; emotional subvariable (94%) with a mean of 5.90, social subvariable (94%) with a mean of 5.84 and physical subvariable (93%) with a mean of 5.60.In conclusion, almost all respondents have a high quality of life which is reinforced by the results of high social and emotional aspects, but the physical aspects still need to be improved by providing adequate information regarding the patient's disease and the benefits of attending cardiac rehabilitation to improve the quality of life. In addition, physical, emotional and social management plays an important role in improving the quality of life of patients.Keywords: After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, Coronary Heart Disease, Quality of Life

Abstract

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Primary PCI is an effective intervention, it is not without risks, and complications arising post-procedure can significantly affect both patient outcomes and the length of hospital stay (LOS).Aim: To describe the types and frequency of complications that occur in patients after Primary PCI and to analyze their relationship with the length of stay in the hospital.Design: This study employed a retrospective design, utilizing medical records of patients who underwent Primary PCI at a referral hospital in West Java, Indonesia, from December 2019 to April 2024. The study sample was selected using a convenience sampling method, focusing on patients who had complete medical records. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analyses, including Fisher's exact test to assess the relationship between complications and LOS. The dependent variable, LOS, was categorized into three groups: ≤ 3 days, 4-5 days, and ≥ 6 days.Results: The findings showed that 81.8% of patients did not experience any complications post-procedure, while 14.5% experienced hematomas and 3.6% experienced bleeding. The median LOS was 4.00 ± 2.28 days, with 60.9% of patients having an LOS of more than 3 days. Patients who experienced complications, especially hematomas or bleeding, were more likely to have prolonged hospital stays, with 11.8% of them staying for ≥ 6 days.Conclusion: Complications following Primary PCI significantly affect the length of stay in the hospital. The study highlights that patients who experience complications such as hematomas or bleeding tend to have longer hospitalizations. These findings underscore the importance of early detection and timely management of post-procedural complications to reduce LOS and enhance patient outcomes.

Abstract

  Kanker payudara merupakan jenis kanker dengan kasus terbanyak secara global dan memberikan dampak serius terhadap kesehatan mental serta kepatuhan pasien terhadap terapi. Pasien sering menghadapi kecemasan, depresi, dan gangguan psikologis lain yang dapat menghambat proses pengobatan. Telehealth menawarkan solusi dukungan jarak jauh, namun masih memiliki keterbatasan dalam hal personalisasi dan keberlanjutan layanan. Integrasi kecerdasan buatan (Artificial Intelligence/AI) ke dalam sistem telehealth dinilai memiliki potensi besar untuk meningkatkan efektivitas intervensi melalui deteksi dini, pemantauan real-time, serta pemberian dukungan yang lebih responsif dan individual. Manuskrip ini merupakan protokol dari scoping review yang bertujuan untuk memetakan jenis, konten, dan pendekatan intervensi telehealth, baik yang berbasis AI maupun tidak, dalam mendukung kesehatan mental dan kepatuhan terapi pada pasien kanker payudara. Kajian disusun berdasarkan pedoman PRISMA-ScR dan menggunakan kerangka PCC (Population: pasien perempuan dengan kanker payudara; Concept: intervensi telehealth dan/atau AI; Context: dukungan psikologis dan kepatuhan terapi). Pencarian literatur dilakukan pada delapan basis data utama: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, CINAHL, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, dan Google Scholar, dengan rentang publikasi 2015–2025. Temuan dari review ini diharapkan dapat menjadi dasar pengembangan intervensi digital yang lebih efektif, personal, dan berkelanjutan, khususnya di wilayah dengan keterbatasan layanan kesehatan.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A healthy lifestyle, including adherence to Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs, quitting smoking, a balanced diet, and regular physical activity, is essential for eradicating the bacteria. This study used a case report method focusing on a 55-year-old male patient with MDR-TB and type 2 diabetes mellitus who was admitted to the Medical Intensive Care Unit. The patient presented with complaints of productive cough, fever, and fatigue. His condition worsened until death, with a history of unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking, poor diet, lack of physical activity, and non-adherence to Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs. The management of Multi Drug Resistant Tuberculosis requires integration between pharmacological therapy and healthy lifestyle habits. Family education and lifestyle interventions are crucial to improve medication adherence, treatment success, and the recovery process in patients with Multi Drug Resistant Tuberculosis. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can strengthen the immune system, prevent disease progression, and support the recovery of patients with Multi Drug Resistant Tuberculosis and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

Introduction: Hyperkalemia often occurs in patients with acute kidney injury due to decreased ability to excrete potassium. This case report aims to describe treating hyperkalemia in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) after septic shock. Method: Case reports detailed the management of hyperkalemia correction using a combination of insulin with 40% Dextrose solution, Ca Gluconate, and hemodialysis therapy. Results: A 64-year-old male patient was admitted to the GICU due to septic shock and AKI after undergoing surgery to extract the 36th and 38th teeth accompanied by a retropharyngeal abscess. The physical examination results showed palpitations, tachycardia, hypertension, and grade 1 pitting edema in the upper extremities. The laboratory checks showed hyperkalemia, and an ECG showed sinus tachycardia. The nurse carried out collaborative therapy for potassium correction using a combination of 10-unit insulin and 40% Dextrose, as much as 2 flacons, and Ca Gluconate. Conclusion: Correction of hyperkalemia used a combination of 10-unit insulin and D40%, and Ca Gluconate therapy was the most widely used intervention because it had a rapid onset and hypokalemic effect. Unfortunately, this therapy could not overcome refractory hyperkalemia in these cases, so the patient was advised to undergo hemodialysis therapy.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in women, therefore breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in most countries. Providing adequate information needed by patients can reduce anxiety and feelings of insecurity. Most of women with breast cancer stated that the information obtained was unsatisfactory. However, few studies have comprehensively addressed the information needs of women with breast cancer across all stages of the disease. This scoping review aimed to fully understand the unique information needs of breast cancer patients at various stages of the cancer continuum. A scoping review will be conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Relevant studies will be identified from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Taylor & Francis, EBSCOhost, and ScienceDirect. In addition, searches via Google Scholar, interpersonal network recommendations, and reference chains will also be conducted. Studies will be selected based on PCC criteria, focusing on breast cancer patients as the population, information needs as content, and at various stages of the cancer continuum as the context. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment will be performed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist. This review is expected to provide comprehensive information needs of breast cancer patients at various stages of the cancer continuum. The findings will be valuable for educational institutions, healthcare facilities, in designing innovative, technology-based educating programs that enhance knowledge retention, practical skills, and psychological preparedness.
