Abstract

Background: Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder characterized by disturbances in thought, perception, and behavior. One of the major challenges in managing schizophrenia is the high rate of relapse, which is often influenced by the family’s level of knowledge and ability to provide home care. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between family knowledge and relapse among schizophrenia patients at the Psychiatric Clinic of Tk II Robert Wolter Mongisidi Hospital, Manado.Methods: This research used a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 89 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test.Results: The findings showed that most families (76.4%) had poor knowledge, and most patients (79.8%) experienced relapse. The Chi-Square test revealed a significant relationship between family knowledge and relapse among schizophrenia patients (p = 0.000, p < 0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between family knowledge and relapse among schizophrenia patients. Families with better understanding of schizophrenia are more capable of providing effective care and preventing relapse. Continuous education and family empowerment are essential to improve patient outcomes and reduce relapse rates.

Abstract

Seniors who have entered the age of over 60 are prone to experiencing various health problems, including physical and psychological changes that have an impact on sleep quality. This study aims to determine the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality of the elderly at ILP Flamboyan 02 Karangsari, Adipala. The study used a quantitative approach with a correlational design and a cross sectional design. The sample totaled 55 respondents who were taken through the total sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire and analyzed with the Chi-Square test. The results of the univariate analysis showed that most of the elderly had moderate levels of physical activity (60.0%) and poor sleep quality (78.2%). Bivariate analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between physical activity and sleep quality in the elderly. However, a significant relationship was found between feelings of loneliness and the quality of sleep of the elderly (p value = 0.013). These findings indicate that psychosocial factors such as loneliness have a greater influence on sleep quality than physical activity. Therefore, interventions that focus on improving social interaction and reducing loneliness need to be considered in efforts to improve the sleep quality of the elderly. This research contributes to the development of promotive and preventive strategies for the health of the elderly in the orphanage or similar community.

Abstract

Emergency hypertension is an increase in blood pressure ≥180/120 mmHg accompanied by new or worsening damage to the target organ, and is the main factor in the occurrence of Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH). ICH is an intracranial hemorrhage due to a rupture of blood vessels in brain tissue. Based on Riskesdas data, there are around 100 thousand cases of emergency hypertension that have an impact on ICH in Indonesia. Proper management, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, is very necessary. Nonpharmacological interventions such as 30° head up position and Benson's relaxation can help lower intracranial pressure (ICT). The 30° head up increases blood flow to the brain and prevents an increase in ICT, while Benson's relaxation lowers the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, dilates arteries, and facilitates tissue oxygenation. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the application of 30° head up nursing interventions and Benson relaxation in ICH patients with decreased intracranial adaptive capacity. The results of the study showed blood pressure of 185/95 mmHg, MAP of 118 mmHg, and the results of the CT-Scan showed ICH in the thalamus to the right radial corona. The intervention was carried out for three days and proved effective in reducing ICT. This scientific paper is expected to improve the quality of neurological nursing care as well as understanding and critical thinking skills in handling ICH cases.

Abstract

The Intensive Care Unit, ICU, is a hospital unit with staff and equipment to manage patients with life-threatening diseases, trauma, and complication due to organ or system dysfunction. The care is important because the patients may survive with intensive care and medication. Hemodynamic changes influenced the patient's conditions in ICU so specific monitoring and therapeutic actions are important. One of the therapies to apply is spiritual music therapy to improve the life quality of patients through the nervous system of the patients. This mechanism improves the psychological level, sleeping quality, and convenience of the patients due to the decreased beat rhythm. This research determined the influence of spiritual music therapy on the hemodynamic status of the patients. This pre-experimental research applied one group pretest-posttest without a control group. The sample consisted of 34 respondents taken with purposive sampling. The applied statistic test was paired t-test if the results were normal, starting from the blood pressure and the pulse. If the results were not normal, the researcher would apply the Wilcoxon test for saturation and respiratory rate. The results showed the p-value of systolic, diastolic, and oxygen saturation was 0.004 lower than 0.05; pulse with 0.005 lower than 0.05; and respiration with 0.263, higher than 0.05. The results showed the influence of spiritual music therapy on systolic, diastolic, oxygen saturation, and pulse. On the other hand, respiration did not influence the patients after providing spiritual music therapy.

Abstract

Cardiac arrest is a critical emergency that requires prompt intervention. Nurses play a crucial role in activating the code blue system, which necessitates a thorough understanding of the procedures involved. Adequate knowledge among nurses is essential for effective management of cardiac arrest cases and achieving the goals of the code blue system. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge among nurses about the code blue protocol for cardiac arrest patients. This quantitative research employed a descriptive study design. The sample consisted of 33 nurses working in the Bougainville Ward at SMC Telogorejo Hospital. Knowledge levels were evaluated using a structured questionnaire. The study revealed that the majority of nurses in the Bougainville Ward had a good understanding of the code blue procedures, with 26 respondents (78.8%) demonstrating a high level of knowledge. The findings indicate that a significant proportion of nurses possess a good level of knowledge regarding code blue protocols for cardiac arrest. To maintain and enhance this knowledge, it is recommended that hospitals continue to provide training opportunities. Further research could explore the correlation between nurses’ characteristics and their knowledge of code blue procedures.
