Abstract

Background: Postoperative pain is a common problem experienced by patients after surgery. Inadequate pain management can slow the recovery process, increase physiological stress, and reduce the patient's quality of life. One non-pharmacological method that can be used is deep breathing relaxation techniques, which aim to increase oxygenation, reduce muscle tension, and provide a calming effect. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of deep breathing relaxation techniques in reducing pain intensity in post-operative patients. Method: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test approach. post-test control group Design. The sample consisted of 60 elective post-surgery patients at Hospital X, divided into an intervention group (n=30, given deep breathing relaxation techniques) and a control group (n=30, given standard care). Pain intensity was measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before the intervention and 30 minutes after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using paired t- test and independent t- test. Results: The mean pain score before intervention in the deep breathing relaxation group was 5.8 (SD ±1.2), decreasing to 3.2 (SD ±1.1) after intervention. Meanwhile, in the control group, the pain score before intervention was 5.7 (SD ±1.3) and after 30 minutes it became 5.4 (SD ±1.2). Statistical tests showed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Deep breathing relaxation techniques are effective in reducing pain intensity in postoperative patients. This method can be recommended as a simple, inexpensive, and easy-to-implement non-pharmacological therapy to support postoperative pain management.

Abstract

Background: Post-abdominal surgery patients often experience impaired lung function due to pain, decreased lung expansion, and prolonged immobilization. Early mobilization is one of the recommended non-pharmacological interventions to accelerate lung function recovery. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of early mobilization on the recovery of lung function in post-abdominal surgery patients. Method: This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach. control group. A sample of 40 patients was divided into an intervention group (n=20) who were given early mobilization 6–12 hours after surgery, and a control group (n=20) who were given mobilization according to standard hospital procedures. Pulmonary function parameters were measured using spirometry (Forced Vital Capacity / FVC and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second/FEV1) on days 1 and 3 postoperatively. Data analysis used paired t-test and independent t-test with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The study showed a significant increase in FVC and FEV1 values in the intervention group compared to the control group (p=0.001). Patients who underwent early mobilization had faster lung function recovery, with a reduced incidence of respiratory complications such as atelectasis. Conclusion: Early mobilization is effective in accelerating the recovery of lung function in patients following abdominal surgery. Implementation of early mobilization can be used as a standard intervention in postoperative care to prevent respiratory complications.

Abstract

Shifts are part of the work scheduling system in 24-hour hospitals, including the Emergency Department (ER). Night shift work can potentially cause physical and mental fatigue and reduce nurses' concentration, which can impact the quality of care and patient safety. This study aims to analyze the effect of night shifts on nurses' fatigue levels and concentration in the ER of X Regional General Hospital. The study used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. A purposive sample of 60 nurses was selected, with at least 6 months of work experience in the ER and willingness to participate in the study. Data were collected using a Modified Variable Response Questionnaire (MOQ) Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) to measure fatigue and Work Concentration Scale (WCS) for work concentration. Data analysis used Pearson correlation with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the study showed a significant positive relationship between night shift work and nurse fatigue levels (r = 0.68; p < 0.05) and a significant negative relationship between night shift work and work concentration (r = -0.62; p < 0.05). This indicates that the more frequently nurses work night shifts, the higher their fatigue levels and the lower their work concentration. In conclusion, night shifts increase fatigue and decrease concentration among nurses in the emergency department. Equitable shift schedules and fatigue management programs are recommended to maintain nurse performance and service quality.
