Abstract

Self-care deficit is the inability or difficulty in performing essential daily activities such as bathing, eating, dressing, and maintaining personal hygiene. The ability to perform self-care independently is crucial to maintaining physical and mental integrity as well as improving quality of life. The purpose of this study is to implement sleep hygiene in addressing sleep disorders in patients with self-care deficit using the application of King’s theory at Sawah Lebar Community Health Center, Bengkulu City, in 2025. The method used in this scientific paper is a case study involving 2 patients suffering from self-care deficit, taken from the working area of Sawah Lebar Community Health Center, Bengkulu City, by providing nursing care over 3 sessions. The results show that after 3 sessions, there was an improvement in the patients’ ability to care for themselves and a decrease in self-care deficit symptoms, along with an improvement in sleep quality experienced by the respondents through the application of sleep hygiene therapy. It can be concluded that sleep hygiene has a significant effect in overcoming sleep disorders in patients with self-care deficit. The researcher recommends that patients with sleep disorders and self-care deficits in the working area of Sawah Lebar Community Health Center, Bengkulu City, apply sleep hygiene to help manage sleep disorders.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a psychological disorder characterized by fragmented thinking, perception, and cognitive function. One common symptom that often appears in schizophrenia patients is delusion. Delusion is a condition where the sufferer cannot distinguish real events from events that occur in their mind. Treatment of delusions can be done through non-pharmacological therapies such as card playing therapy and journaling. This study aims to evaluate the application of card playing and journaling interventions as non-pharmacological interventions in training reality orientation in delusions and improving the social functioning of schizophrenia patients. The research method used is a clinical case report conducted from May 29, 2025 - June 5, 2025, with the subject of a 21-year-old man with a medical diagnosis of schizophrenia. The intervention was carried out over four consecutive meetings with a duration of 15-30 minutes, using card games to match colors and numbers, followed by journaling activities as self-reflection. The evaluation results showed a decrease in the intensity of grandiose delusions characterized by increased concentration during activities and an increase in the patient's ability to control behavior and speak more in accordance with reality. Card-playing interventions help patients practice concentration and following rules, while journaling helps identify unrealistic thoughts and transform them into more rational statements. While complete recovery is not yet achieved, these interventions can have a positive therapeutic impact on patients when combined with pharmacological interventions and other supportive factors.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, with a prevalence of 3.9% in Indonesia and 3.04% in West Java in 2024. This condition increases the risk of death on the first day of life. One of the effects of LBW is neurological immaturity, which can cause sucking and swallowing reflex disorders. If not treated immediately, this condition can hinder nutritional fulfillment and increase the risk of growth failure. Therefore, nursing interventions are needed to stimulate sucking and swallowing abilities early on. Oral stimulation is a non-pharmacological nursing intervention believed to improve sucking reflexes in LBW infants. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of oral stimulation in improving sucking reflexes and nutritional intake in LBW infants. A case study was conducted on male neonates with LBW who received 10–15 minutes of oral stimulation intervention three times before feeding. The results showed an increase in sucking reflex strength from weak to strong, as well as an increase in the amount of nutrition intake from 10 ml to 15 ml per feeding. Oral stimulation is effective in improving oral motor function in LBW infants. This intervention can be recommended as a nursing action to support successful breastfeeding in LBW infants.

Abstract

Pre-eclampsia is closely related to postpartum hypertension, making it a critical period during which mothers are at risk of more serious complications if they do not receive immediate treatment. Its management requires adherence to lifestyle modifications, including a low-salt diet, in addition to medication control. Adherence is related to knowledge, so education is one of the non-pharmacological techniques that can be provided. This study aims to describe behavioural changes in patients with superimposed pre-eclampsia through the provision of low-salt diet education for blood pressure control. This study used a case study method through the nursing care process for a 42-year-old postpartum mother P5A2. Data were obtained through anamnesis, observation and physical examination, as well as documentation of diagnostic tests. Health education was implemented using lectures and question-and-answer sessions. Evaluation was assessed using pre-post tests, records of food consumption, and blood pressure measurements over 3 days. After receiving education, the blood pressure range decreased by -1 mmHg in systolic pressure and -13 mmHg in diastolic pressure on the second day compared to the first day, and -5 mmHg in systolic pressure and -15 mmHg in diastolic pressure on the third day compared to the second day. There was an increase in knowledge related to low-salt diets, which triggered behavioural changes in controlling daily intake, resulting in a decrease and stabilisation of blood pressure to a more controlled range. However, participants' understanding did not reach 100%, so demonstration methods are needed in health education to optimize participants' understanding.
