<![CDATA[Introduction: One of the most common clinical manifestations in CKD patients is leg oedema. Oedema that is not treated promptly leads to several complications such as ischaemia due to reduced tissue function, reduced mobility, skin infections such as cellulitis or ulcers in chronic oedema. Oedema can be managed with non-pharmacological therapies such as a combination of ankle pumping and warm compresses. Purpose: This study aims to describe the reduction in the degree of leg oedema in patients with CKD after administration of ankle pump exercise and warm compresses. Methods: This research is a case study with a nursing approach to CKD patients with oedema. Participants in this study were 3 CKD patients with leg oedema. Interventions were carried out on 3 consecutive days within 15-20 minutes of each session. Pre- and post-measurements of the degree of oedema were made at each session. Discussion: Oedema is a condition resulting from an increase in hydrostatic pressure in the blood vessels, which causes the veins to become blocked and plasma fluid to accumulate in the interstitial spaces. The results of the measurement of the degree of oedema showed that two participants experienced a decrease in the degree of oedema from degree 3 to 2 and one participant experienced a decrease from degree 2 to 1. Conclusion: A combination of ankle pump exercise and warm compresses can reduce the degree of leg oedema in patients with CKD and can be used independently by patients and families.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint experienced by the elderly. LBP can occur due to a history of static work positions. One complementary therapy to address chronic pain is a combination of Swedish massage and acupressure. Massage therapy is well-known as a pain relief method in Banteran Village. With education on Swedish massage and acupressure for families with LBP clients, pain management can be carried out properly and independently. Purpose: The objective of this case study is to investigate the effect of a combination therapy of Swedish massage and acupressure on low back pain in the case of Mrs. R. Methods: This study used a single-subject study method, which focuses on observing and analyzing the changes felt by individuals after receiving a combination of Swedish massage and acupressure therapy. The intervention was performed 8 times, with a two-day interval between sessions. The researcher asked the client to rate their pain level on a pain scale and measured blood pressure before and after therapy. Discussion: The results of the combined Swedish massage and acupressure therapy on the elderly patient, Mrs. R, showed a reduction in pain scale after 8 sessions with a frequency of every other day. The pain level decreased from moderate to mild, and blood pressure was reduced by 23-11 mmHg systolic and 15-8 mmHg diastolic. The pain reduction was due to the release of endorphins, which help relax the body. However, the pain returned afterward due to excessive physical activity. This therapy can be performed independently by Mrs. R's family. Conclusion: There was a reduction in the pain scale of low back pain (LBP) experienced by the client before and after the combination therapy of Swedish massage and acupressure. The intervention can also be performed independently by the family. Keywords: acupressure, low back pain, Swedish massage]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that causes hyperresponsiveness and narrowing of the airways, with symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing that can appear suddenly. Asthma management requires a comprehensive approach, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. The buteyko breathing technique is one of the effective non-pharmacological interventions to control asthma symptoms, reduce the frequency of attacks, and improve quality of life without side effects. This study aims to implement the buteyko breathing technique to stabilize respiratory frequency in patients with bronchial asthma. Purpose: This case study is to determine the effectiveness of buteyko therapy in stabilizing respiratory rates and control pauses in bronchial asthma patients. Methods: The method used in this study is a case study with 3 asthma patients as subjects. The focus of this study is evidence-based practice in the form of buteyko breathing therapy for 3 days and is carried out 3 times a day. Discussion: The results of the study showed that the buteyko breathing technique can stabilize the respiratory rate in bronchial asthma patients. Conclusion: Buteyko breathing technique can help stabilize respiratory rate in asthma patients, although the results are not statistically significant. These results indicate that buteyko breathing technique has the potential to prolong the duration of control pauses, which may support improved respiratory control in asthma patients.]]>
