Abstract

Post-hemorrhoidectomy pain is a common complication that may impede the recovery process. Non-pharmacological interventions such as potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) sitz baths have shown potential in pain management and wound healing. This case study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of KMnO₄ sitz bath therapy in reducing post-hemorrhoidectomy pain. A 45-year-old male patient (Mr. A) experienced severe postoperative pain (7/10 on the Numerical Rating Scale). Sitz baths with a 0.1–0.2% KMnO₄ solution were administered twice daily. Pain intensity was measured before and after each intervention using the NRS. Within 2–3 days, the patient’s pain level decreased significantly to 3/10, accompanied by improved comfort, enhanced mobility, and positive behavioral responses. The analgesic effects are associated with the antiseptic and astringent properties of KMnO₄, as well as the muscle-relaxing effects of warm water, which together reduce inflammation, prevent infection, and alleviate anal sphincter spasms. These findings support the use of potassium permanganate sitz baths as an effective non-pharmacological intervention in managing post-hemorrhoidectomy pain and promoting recovery.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and increased risk of complications such as peripheral neuropathy and vascular disorders. One of the effective and accessible non-pharmacological approaches in nursing practice is diabetic foot exercise. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of diabetic foot exercise in reducing blood glucose levels and blood pressure in type 2 DM patients with various comorbidities. This research employed a descriptive observational case study approach involving four patients diagnosed with type 2 DM and diverse comorbidities (pulmonary TB, COPD, neurological disorders, and diabetic foot wounds). The intervention consisted of a diabetic foot exercise program performed for three consecutive days, 10–15 minutes per session, using nine specific movements. Results: All patients demonstrated a significant reduction in blood glucose levels (80–200 mg/dL) and blood pressure stabilization within normal limits. Patients also reported improved sleep quality, reduced fatigue, and increased motivation and physical comfort. Diabetic foot exercise is proven to be an effective complementary nursing intervention for lowering blood glucose and blood pressure while improving the physiological and psychological status of type 2 DM patients, including those with limited mobility.

Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, including in post-cesarean section patients. The fourth stage is a critical phase in the first two hours after delivery that requires intensive monitoring to prevent bleeding. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of active management of the fourth stage on the risk of bleeding in post-cesarean section patients. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a post-test only approach with a control group. The sample consisted of 40 post-cesarean section mothers who were divided into an intervention group and a control group using a consecutive sampling technique. The intervention was in the form of implementing active management of the fourth stage during the first two hours after surgery. The variables measured included the amount of bleeding, decreased hemoglobin levels, and the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage. Data analysis used independent t-test and chi-square tests with a significance level of 0.05. Results: There was a significant difference in the amount of bleeding and decreased hemoglobin levels between the intervention and control groups (p < 0.05). The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage was lower in the group receiving active management of the fourth stage of labor. Conclusion: Active management of the fourth stage of labor effectively reduces the risk of bleeding in post-cesarean section patients and is recommended as part of standard postpartum nursing care.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients can experience anxiety due to complex disease management, fear of complications (kidney failure, amputation), the impact of lifestyle changes, and lack of social support. DM Learning can help DM patients manage their disease, where DM learning is an educational tool about DM disease that includes an understanding of the causes, symptoms, treatment methods (diet, exercise, medication), complications, and prevention, so that sufferers and the general public can manage DM effectively and improve their quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of DM Learning using an application on the anxiety level of DM patients at the Sari Asih Serang Hospital Polyclinic. Method: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest design with a control group. Each group consisted of 60 respondents taken using a purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the marginal homogeneity test. Results: The analysis results showed that application-based DM learning was effective in reducing the anxiety level of diabetes mellitus patients (p: 0.000). Conventional DM learning was also effective in reducing the anxiety level of diabetes mellitus patients (p: 0.000). Application-based DM learning is more effective in reducing anxiety levels in diabetes mellitus patients compared to conventional DM learning (p: 0.000). Conclusion: Application-based DM learning is effective in reducing anxiety levels in diabetes mellitus patients.

Abstract

The development of digital technology in the health sector has given birth to various health learning applications, one of which is a special education application for hypertension. This study aims to determine the effect of hypertension learning on anxiety levels in hypertension patients at Sari Asih Hospital, Serang. Method: This study uses a quantitative approach with a pretest & posttest design, using a total sampling technique. Hypothesis testing uses a marginal homogeneity test. The questionnaire uses the Zung Self Anxiety Scale. Results: The P Value is: 0.157 which is greater than 0.05 (>0.05), which means there is no significant difference between anxiety levels before and after the intervention. The correlation coefficient (r) cannot be calculated because all anxiety values ​​in the post-test are in one category, namely all mild (there is no data variation). The direction of the relationship is positive, because it is towards improvement in all (towards mild), the density of the relationship is clinically strong, because 100% of the post-test results are in the best category (mild). Conclusion: Although no statistically significant differences were found, the Hypertension Learning application was clinically effective in maintaining and improving anxiety levels in hypertensive patients. These findings support the theory that digital education increases self-efficacy, reduces perceived threat of illness, and improves psychological responses in chronic patients. Therefore, Hypertension Learning continues to have important practical and clinical value as part of technology-based nursing interventions in the era of digital transformation in healthcare.
