Abstract

Canalicular rupture is an injury to the lacrimal drainage system, commonly caused by sharp or blunt trauma to the periocular area due to violence, traffic accidents, sports, or falls. Inadequate management can lead to permanent epiphora, canalicular stenosis, and post-traumatic cosmetic disfigurement, necessitating appropriate surgical reconstruction. This study was conducted to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of autologous vein grafting with silicone stent placement in the reconstruction of canalicular rupture. This study aimed to report our experience in canalicular duct rupture repair with silicone tube and dorsal metacarpal vein autograft. This study is a descriptive case series involving patients with canalicular rupture who underwent microsurgical reconstruction using autologous vein grafts. Patient data were collected prospectively from medical records and postoperative follow-up. Outcomes evaluated included anatomical success, functional success, and postoperative complications. After the canalicular repair, the patient showed improvement as indicated by reduced complaints of epiphora significantly.  Canalicular duct rupture reconstruction with silicone tube and dorsal metacarpal vein autograft showed a good outcome in this case and successfully reduced epiphora of the patient.

Abstract

Pain is one of the most prevalent symptoms experienced by palliative care patients and significantly affects their quality of life. Although various interventions have been developed, pain management remains suboptimal, particularly regarding the implementation of evidence-based non-pharmacological interventions. Therefore, a literature synthesis is needed to identify effective and practical interventions for palliative nursing care. This study aimed to identify non-pharmacological interventions for pain management in palliative care patients. This study employed a Narrative Literature Review design guided by the PRISMA framework. Articles were searched through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases, covering publications from 2020 to 2026. The inclusion criteria included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies investigating the use of non-pharmacological interventions for pain management in palliative care patients. Article selection was conducted through identification, screening, and eligibility assessment stages. The data were analyzed descriptively using a narrative synthesis approach. A total of six articles meeting the inclusion criteria. The findings indicated that non-pharmacological interventions, including Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR), massage therapy, hot and cold compresses, and movement-based relaxation therapy, were effective in reducing pain intensity and improving the quality of life of palliative care patients. PMR demonstrated the most consistent effectiveness in reducing pain while improving sleep quality and daily functioning. Massage therapy and compress interventions also provided additional benefits by enhancing patient comfort. Non-pharmacological interventions are effective in managing pain among palliative care patients. A multimodal approach integrating both physical and psychological aspects is strongly recommended in nursing practice. PMR may be considered a primary intervention due to its effectiveness, ease of implementation, and ability to support patients' self-management of pain over the long term.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Patients undergoing chemotherapy frequently experience nutritional deterioration, which negatively impacts treatment outcomes and quality of life. Mobile health (mHealth) applications offer an innovative approach to supporting nutritional management in this population. To synthesize scientific evidence on the effect of mHealth applications on the nutritional status of breast cancer patients and survivors. A literature review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Searches were performed in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for articles published between 2020 and 2026. Inclusion criteria included RCTs, quasi-experimental, or experimental studies examining mHealth interventions on the nutritional status of breast cancer patients. From 270 articles identified, 6 met the inclusion criteria after systematic screening. All six studies demonstrated that mHealth interventions showed promising positive effects on nutritional outcomes. Key findings included weight reduction, improved BMI, enhanced diet quality, increased consumption of fruits, vegetables, and protein, and improved self-efficacy in dietary management. mHealth applications demonstrated high feasibility and acceptability among participants. These findings should be interpreted cautiously, as most studies were pilot or feasibility studies with small sample sizes. mHealth applications show promising potential in improving nutritional status and eating behaviors in breast cancer patients and survivors. Further large-scale RCTs with standardized nutritional outcome measures and longer follow-up periods are warranted to establish robust evidence.

Abstract

Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) are health problems affecting the musculoskeletal system caused by non-ergonomic working environments and may result in soft tissue damage. These conditions can lead to chronic pain and fatigue, particularly among operating room nurses, thereby compromising occupational safety and work performance. To determine the prevalence and risk factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among operating room nurses. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used for article selection. The JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist was employed to assess methodological quality. Articles were retrieved from Scopus, EBSCO, Springer Nature Link, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest databases covering the period from 2016 to 2026 using full-text articles. Of the 1,819 articles initially identified, 10 studies were included in this review following a screening process based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted using a standardized form that included study characteristics, prevalence rates, affected body regions, and reported risk factors of WMSDs. The extracted data were analyzed using a narrative synthesis approach by grouping findings according to prevalence and categories of risk factors, including individual, biomechanical, and organizational factors. The prevalence of WMSDs ranged from 45.9% to 92.5%, with lower back pain reported as the most common complaint, followed by neck, shoulder, waist, and knee discomfort. Risk factors associated with WMSDs include individual factors, biomechanical factors, and organizational factors. The risk of WMSDs is multifactorial in nature. Therefore, comprehensive and continuous ergonomic interventions are needed to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and improve the quality of life of operating room nurses.

Abstract

Heart failure is a chronic cardiovascular disease that is often accompanied by thirst distress. Fluid restriction, which is commonly recommended as part of heart failure management, may increase thirst and potentially affect patients' comfort and quality of life. To identify the relationship between fluid restriction and thirst distress in patients with heart failure based on a literature review. This literature review was conducted using a systematic approach based on the PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches were performed in ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and JSTOR databases. A total of 10,762 articles were initially identified. Eligible articles included cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2016 and 2026 that examined fluid restriction and thirst distress in patients with heart failure. Following the removal of duplicates and screening based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, study quality was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. A total of eight articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed narratively. Fluid restriction was associated with increased thirst intensity and thirst distress among patients with heart failure. Several studies reported that patients undergoing fluid restriction experienced higher thirst distress scores than those without fluid restriction. However, some studies did not find a significant association, particularly in populations with similar participant characteristics. In addition to fluid restriction, thirst distress was influenced by various factors, including diuretic use, urea levels, psychological conditions, and patients' clinical status. Fluid restriction is associated with increased thirst intensity and thirst distress in patients with heart failure. However, thirst distress is also influenced by various other factors.

Abstract

Informed consent is a fundamental ethical and legal requirement in healthcare that safeguards patient autonomy while protecting healthcare professionals from legal disputes. In dental practice, informed consent extends beyond obtaining a patient's signature, encompassing a comprehensive communication process that enables patients to make informed decisions regarding diagnosis, treatment alternatives, benefits, risks, and possible complications. Despite recent regulatory reforms through Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health and Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024, challenges remain in the consistent implementation of informed consent within Indonesian dental services. This study aimed to comprehensively review the role of informed consent as an instrument of legal protection for dentists in Indonesia by comparing existing scientific evidence with the current national legal framework governing dental practice. A systematic literature review employing a comparative legal approach was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature was retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and free-text keywords related to informed consent, dentistry, legal protection, and health law. Eligible studies addressing legal, ethical, and clinical aspects of informed consent in dental services were selected according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Relevant Indonesian legislation, including Law Number 17 of 2023 and Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024, was also analyzed. Extracted data were synthesized using qualitative thematic analysis. The review demonstrates that informed consent functions as both an ethical obligation and a legal safeguard by promoting patient autonomy, supporting shared decision-making, and providing documentary evidence of professional compliance. Medical records and informed consent collectively strengthen legal protection for dentists by documenting adherence to professional standards and reducing medico-legal risks. Nevertheless, implementation in Indonesian primary healthcare facilities remains constrained by high patient workloads, limited human resources, inconsistent documentation practices, inadequate digital infrastructure, and insufficient understanding of medico-legal responsibilities among healthcare professionals. Effective implementation of informed consent requires integration of comprehensive documentation, standardized operating procedures, continuous legal and ethical education, and strengthened electronic medical record systems. Harmonizing clinical practice with Indonesia's evolving legal framework will improve patient safety, reinforce professional accountability, and enhance legal protection for dentists delivering dental healthcare services.

Abstract

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) is a common side effect in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. This condition can reduce quality of life and therapy compliance. Non-pharmacological approaches such as guided imagery and PC6 acupressure are alternative evidence-based interventions. To describe the implementation of Evidence-Based Nursing Practice (EBNP) in the form of a combination of guided imagery and PC6 acupressure and to evaluate changes in nausea levels in patients undergoing chemotherapy. EBNP implementation was carried out on 10 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at Dr. Mohammad Soewandhie General Hospital, Surabaya. The interventions provided were guided imagery for 10–15 minutes and PC6 acupressure for 2–3 minutes. The level of nausea was measured before and after the intervention using the INVR ( Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching ) instrument. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of α = 0.05. All respondents experienced a decrease in nausea scores after the intervention. A total of 5 (50%) respondents experienced a decrease in the nausea category, while 5 (50%) respondents remained in the same category even though the nausea score decreased. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a p value = 0.025 (p < 0.05), which means there was a significant difference between before and after the intervention. The combination of guided imagery therapy and PC6 acupressure showed effectiveness in reducing nausea levels in chemotherapy patients.

Abstract

Postoperative pain is one of the most common problems experienced by patients following surgical procedures. Nursing education is a non-pharmacological intervention that may help reduce pain levels. This study aimed to determine the effect of nursing education on postoperative patients' pain levels. A quantitative research design with two independent groups was employed, consisting of an education group and a non-education group, with a total of 30 respondents. Data were collected through direct measurement of postoperative pain intensity using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at baseline (pre-test) and after the intervention (post-test) in both the intervention and control groups.The data were analyzed using both parametric (Independent t-test) and non-parametric (Mann–Whitney U test). The results showed a significant value of p < 0.05 in both tests, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. Nursing education was found to be effective in reducing pain levels among postoperative patients.

Abstract

Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a major cause of irreversible blindness and is commonly associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Objective to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combining phacoemulsification (PEI), goniosynechialysis (GSL) or visco-goniosynechialysis (VGSL), and goniotomy (GT) in the management of PACG. A mini systematic review was conducted using Google Scholar, PubMed, and ProQuest up to March 2025. Eligible studies evaluating combined PEI, GSL/VGSL, and GT in PACG patients were screened independently by two reviewers and analyzed descriptively. Five studies involving 534 eyes from 475 patients were included, comprising two retrospective case series, one randomized clinical trial, and two multicentre observational studies. Follow-up periods ranged from one week to 24 months. Across studies, the combined procedure consistently demonstrated significant reductions in IOP and glaucoma medication use, while reported complications were generally mild and self-limiting. Combined PEI, GSL/VGSL, and GT appears to be a safe and effective surgical option for PACG with coexisting cataract. This review contributes to the growing evidence supporting angle-based surgical interventions for improving IOP control and reducing medication burden in PACG.
