Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a common chronic condition among the elderly that requires long-term pharmacological management. Medication adherence is crucial in maintaining blood pressure control and preventing complications. One psychological determinant that plays an important role is self-efficacy, which refers to an individual's belief in their ability to perform specific behaviors, including adhering to prescribed medication regimens. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and medication adherence among elderly patients with hypertension. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional quantitative design. A total of 100 elderly hypertensive patients were selected using purposive sampling at Public Health Center X. Data were collected using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test. Results: The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of self-efficacy (58%) and a moderate level of medication adherence (62%). A significant relationship was found between self-efficacy and medication adherence (p = 0.001; r = 0.462), indicating a moderate positive correlation. Conclusions: Self-efficacy is significantly and positively associated with medication adherence in elderly patients with hypertension. Enhancing self-efficacy through health education, family support, and interdisciplinary interventions is essential for improving hypertension management among the elderly

Abstract

Introduction: Bartholin cysts are common in women of reproductive age and may cause significant pain, particularly when infection or abscess formation occurs. Pain management is typically approached through pharmacological and surgical interventions. However, non-pharmacological methods such as deep breathing relaxation (DBR) have emerged as promising complementary strategies. This scoping review aims to identify and map the scientific evidence related to the application of deep breathing relaxation techniques for pain management in patients with Bartholin cysts.. Methods: The review followed the Arksey and O’Malley framework. A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar using keywords including “Bartholin cyst,” “deep breathing,” and “pain management.” Eligible studies were screened and analyzed descriptively. Results: A total of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental designs, and observational studies. Most studies reported that DBR techniques such as diaphragmatic and paced breathing effectively reduced pain intensity, enhanced patient comfort, and decreased anxiety prior to procedures for Bartholin cyst treatment. Conclusions: Deep breathing relaxation techniques represent a promising non-pharmacological approach for managing pain in Bartholin cyst patients. These methods are simple, non-invasive, and capable of improving the overall care experience. Further high-quality studies are needed to strengthen the evidence base for their effectiveness in this specific clinical context

Abstract

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) during the first six months of life plays a crucial role in infant survival, growth, and development. However, the global rates of EBF remain below the recommended targets. Pregnant women's classes are designed to provide education, support, and skills necessary for successful breastfeeding practices. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of pregnant women's classes on the success rate of exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group was employed. The study involved 120 pregnant women in their third trimester, selected through purposive sampling from two community health centers. The intervention group (n=60) participated in a structured pregnant women's class, while the control group (n=60) received standard antenatal care without additional classes. Data on breastfeeding practices were collected three months postpartum using structured interviews and analyzed using the Chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: The study found a significantly higher rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the intervention group (78.3%) compared to the control group (53.3%) (p<0.01). Attendance in the pregnant women's class was associated with a 2.9 times higher likelihood of practicing exclusive breastfeeding (OR=2.9; 95% CI: 1.5–5.6). Key factors contributing to success included increased maternal knowledge, self-efficacy, and support from health educators during the antenatal period. Conclusions: Participation in pregnant women's classes effectively increases the success rate of exclusive breastfeeding. Integrating structured breastfeeding education into routine antenatal care is recommended to improve maternal practices and promote better health outcomes for infants

Abstract

Introduction: Pain is a common issue experienced by school-aged children undergoing invasive procedures such as venipuncture, injection, or catheter insertion. Inadequate pain management may lead to anxiety, fear of hospitals, and long-term behavioral changes. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of nursing interventions in reducing pain levels among school-aged children during invasive procedures. Methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group. A total of 60 children aged 7–12 years who underwent invasive procedures in a pediatric ward were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention group received non-pharmacological pain management techniques such as deep breathing, distraction, and cold compresses, while the control group received standard care. Pain levels were measured using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale before and after the procedure. Results: The results showed a significant decrease in pain scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Children who received the nursing interventions reported lower pain intensity and showed improved coping behaviors during the procedure. Conclusions: Nursing interventions utilizing non-pharmacological techniques are effective in reducing pain levels in school-aged children undergoing invasive procedures. It is suggested that pediatric nurses incorporate these interventions as standard practice to enhance the quality of care and comfort for pediatric patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Acute gastroenteritis is a leading cause of dehydration in children and is commonly encountered in healthcare settings. It presents with symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting, which lead to significant fluid and electrolyte loss. If not managed promptly, dehydration can result in serious complications, including death. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) has long been recommended as a first-line, effective treatment for mild to moderate dehydration in pediatric patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of oral rehydration solution (ORS) in treating dehydration caused by acute gastroenteritis in children. Methods: This descriptive case study involved two male pediatric patients, aged 1 and 2 years, who presented with dehydration due to gastroenteritis. The intervention included administration of ORS at a dosage of 40–100 ml/kg within the first 4–6 hours, accompanied by clinical monitoring over three days. Clinical parameters observed included frequency of defecation, skin turgor, oral mucosa condition, eye appearance, and level of consciousness. Results: Both patients showed improvement in clinical signs of dehydration. The frequency of defecation decreased from 4–5 times to 1–2 times per day. Skin turgor normalised, oral mucosa became moist, eyes appeared less sunken, and both children became more active and responsive. No adverse effects were reported, and both subjects responded positively to the therapy. Conclusion: Oral rehydration therapy using ORS effectively manages dehydration caused by acute gastroenteritis in children. It is a safe, simple, and accessible method that can be utilised in clinical settings and at home as a first-line response to dehydration

Abstract

Introduction: Acute Respiratory Tract Infections (ARTIs) remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children, particularly in developing countries. Elevated respiratory rate is a common clinical manifestation in pediatric ARTI cases, often resulting from airway obstruction due to mucus accumulation. Chest physiotherapy is a non-pharmacological intervention aimed at mobilizing secretions, improving ventilation, and reducing respiratory effort. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of chest physiotherapy in stabilizing the respiratory rate in preschool children diagnosed with ARTI. Methods: This case study involved two pediatric inpatients aged 1 and 3 years with a confirmed diagnosis of ARTI at Sandi Karsa Hospital, Makassar. Each patient received daily chest physiotherapy including percussion, vibration, and postural drainage for three consecutive days. Respiratory rate was measured before and after each session using direct observation and timing methods.. Results: A consistent reduction in respiratory rate was observed in both patients following each chest physiotherapy session. The average decrease ranged from 8 to 9 breaths per minute, indicating a significant clinical improvement. No adverse effects were reported during or after the intervention. Conclusion: Chest physiotherapy is an effective and safe non-pharmacological intervention for stabilizing the respiratory rate in children with ARTI. It facilitates mucus clearance, improves pulmonary ventilation, and alleviates respiratory effort. This intervention is recommended for integration into pediatric respiratory care protocols in hospital settings
