Abstract

Triage is one of the essential procedures in the Emergency Department (ED) that aims to determine patient care priorities based on the level of emergency. Nurses’ knowledge is one of the key factors influencing the accuracy of triage implementation according to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). This study aimed to determine the relationship between nurses’ knowledge and their ability to perform triage in the Emergency Department of M. Yunus Bengkulu Hospital. This study employed a cross-sectional design with a total sampling technique involving 30 nurse respondents. Data were collected using a knowledge questionnaire and a triage skill observation sheet, and analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The univariate analysis showed that most respondents had good knowledge (73.3%), adequate knowledge (16.7%), and poor knowledge (10.0%). In terms of triage ability, the majority were in the SOP-compliant category (86.7%), while the rest were non-compliant (13.3%). The bivariate analysis revealed a χ² value of 9.047 with a p-value of 0.011, indicating a statistically significant relationship between nurses’ knowledge and their ability to perform triage in the Emergency Department of M. Yunus Bengkulu Hospital. It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the level of nurses’ knowledge and their ability to perform triage. The higher the level of nurses’ knowledge, the greater the likelihood that triage will be carried out in accordance with the SOP.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that can continue into the postpartum period and has the potential to cause serious organ disorders and increase the risk of maternal death. This condition can cause various complications, including seizures, impaired liver function and blood clotting, cerebral hemorrhage, fluid buildup in the lungs, and heart disease. One important effort in preventing these complications is regular blood pressure monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy and hemodynamic stability. This case study aims to analyze the application of blood pressure monitoring every 4 hours in postpartum mothers with severe preeclampsia as an effort to detect complications early. This case study uses a descriptive approach with a single case study method on Mrs. N, 21 years old, postpartum day 1 with a history of Partus Maturus with Oxytocin Drip Augmentation: Severe Preeclampsia. For four days of care, the client received antihypertensive therapy 3 x 1 per day accompanied by blood pressure monitoring, physical examination and laboratory evaluation. Monitoring results showed that blood pressure continued to fluctuate until the fourth postpartum day, ranging from 127/90 mmHg to 180/120 mmHg, despite a decrease in edema from grade 3 to grade 2 and an improvement in hemoglobin levels. These findings indicate that despite clinical and laboratory improvements, the mother's hemodynamic condition was not stable until the fourth postpartum day. Therefore, intensive blood pressure monitoring and therapy evaluation are needed until blood pressure stability and optimal clinical improvement are achieved.

Abstract

Of the total number of chronic kidney failure patients, only 25% receive treatment, and only 12.5% of those are effectively treated. This study aims to determine the effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) on fatigue levels in patients with chronic kidney failure at RSHD Bengkulu City in 2025. This research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The sampling technique used was proportionate stratified random sampling, with a total sample of 71 patients with chronic kidney failure. Univariate analysis before the PMR intervention showed that the majority of respondents (54.9%) experienced severe fatigue, while after the intervention, most respondents (59.2%) experienced mild fatigue. Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant effect of PMR on fatigue levels in patients with chronic kidney failure (p = 0.000). The study concludes that progressive muscle relaxation has a significant impact on reducing fatigue in chronic kidney failure patients. It is recommended that patients practice PMR regularly as a non-pharmacological method to reduce fatigue caused by hemodialysis

Abstract

Cervical cancer is a major health problem for women and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The high occurrence of cervical cancer is due to low early detection coverage. The low participation of women of childbearing age in early cervical cancer detection is influenced by various factors, including knowledge and husband's support.  This study aims to determine the correlation between knowledge and husband's support and early cervical cancer detection in the Working Area of Penarik Health Center in Mukomuko, Bengkulu, 2025. This study used an observational analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach. The population was all 1,946 couples of childbearing age in the Working Area of Penarik Health Center in Mukomuko, Bengkulu, 2025. A sample of 106 respondents was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the chi-square statistical test. Univariate analysis showed that of the 106 respondents, almost all (41 respondents) had insufficient knowledge about early cervical cancer detection, and most (63 respondents) had insufficient support from their husbands. Bivariate analysis showed a relationship between knowledge and early cervical cancer detection (p-value = 0.014), and a relationship between husband's support and early cervical cancer detection (p value = 0.010). Penarik Health Center in Mukomuko Bengkulu is expected to increase health promotion and education activities regarding early cervical cancer detection, and involve husbands in all outreach programs to increase awareness and participation of women of childbearing age in undergoing VIA screening.
