<![CDATA[Preoperative anxiety is a common psychological response experienced by patients before undergoing surgery. High levels of anxiety can negatively impact the patient's physiological stability and the success of the surgical procedure. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be used to reduce anxiety is music therapy. This study aims to determine the effect of music therapy on preoperative anxiety levels in patients at Hospital X. This study used a quasi -experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach with a control group. The study sample consisted of 60 pre- operative patients divided into an intervention group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). The intervention group received instrumental music therapy for 20–30 minutes before surgery, while the control group received only standard care. Data analysis was performed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests. The results showed a significant decrease in anxiety levels in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Music therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing preoperative anxiety in patients . Therefore, music therapy can be recommended as a non-pharmacological nursing intervention in preoperative care.]]>

<![CDATA[Background:Nosocomial infections are a common complication in patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Critical patient conditions, the use of invasive devices, and long hospital stays increase the risk of nosocomial infections. One recommended prevention strategy is the implementation of bundled care, which consists of a series of evidence-based actions consistently implemented. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of bundled care implementation on reducing the incidence of nosocomial infections in ICU patients. Method:This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest approach without a control group. The study sample consisted of 50 ICU patients selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data on the incidence of nosocomial infections were collected before and after the implementation of bundle care for 30 days. Data analysis was performed using a paired t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The results showed a significant decrease in the incidence of nosocomial infections after the implementation of bundle care, with a p value of < 0.001. Conclusion:Consistent implementation of bundle care is effective in reducing the incidence of nosocomial infections in ICU patients.]]>

<![CDATA[Background:Trauma patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ER) often experience hemodynamic instability due to bleeding, hypoxia, and the acute stress response. Early oxygenation is a priority intervention in the management of trauma patients to prevent tissue hypoxia and maintain hemodynamic stability. Objective:This study aims to determine the effect of early oxygenation on the hemodynamic stability of trauma patients in the emergency room. Method:This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest approach without a control group. The study sample consisted of 40 trauma patients selected using a purposive sampling technique. Hemodynamic parameters measured included blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation before and after initial oxygenation. Data analysis used a paired t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results:The results of the study showed a significant increase in the hemodynamic stability of trauma patients after initial oxygenation (p < 0.05). Conclusion:Early oxygenation administration has a significant effect on the hemodynamic stability of trauma patients in the ER.]]>
