APPLICATION OF INDONESIAN NURSING DIAGNOSIS STANDARDS IN NURSING DIAGNOSIS DOCUMENTATION IN CHILDREN WITH DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER

2024-10-07T12:36:18+07:00

Introduction: The Indonesian National Nurses Association has developed nursing language standards adapted to cultural differences and uniqueness of Indonesian nursing services, namely the Indonesian Nursing Diagnostic Standards. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever cases in Indonesia have experienced a shortening cycle, which has led to a rise in the incidence rate (IR) and a fall in the case facility rate (CFR). This study was to learn how to describe the application of the Indonesian Nursing Diagnosis Standards (SDKI) in documenting nursing diagnoses in children with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). Methods: Retrospective descriptive research design with secondary data. The secondary data used in the study, namely sourced from medical records from February 1, 2021 - March 31, 2022. The number of samples is 30 medical records using the total sampling technique. Data collection using observation sheet. Data analysis uses univariate analysis. Results: Most of the priority nursing diagnosis labels in DHF pediatric patients are by the Indonesian Nursing Diagnosis Standards, namely hyperthermia. However, all the writing of actual nursing diagnoses does not comply with the Indonesian Nursing Diagnosis Standards, which consists of writing three parts: [problems] related to [cause/related factors] as evidenced by [signs/symptoms], but the writing of nursing diagnoses is only in the form of problems or problems and causes. Conclusions: There needs to be a refreshing knowledge about the Indonesian Nursing Diagnosis Standards to improve the knowledge and skills of nurses in documenting nursing diagnoses.

THE EFFECT OF PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE RELAXATION TECHNIQUES ON REDUCING SYSTOLE BLOOD PRESSURE IN ELDERLY PEOPLE WITH HYPERTENSION

2024-07-08T05:22:08+07:00

Introduction: Hypertension is a disease that is often not felt but can have serious consequences for health. One way to prevent and overcome hypertension is using non-pharmacological therapy, one of which is the progressive muscle relaxation technique which is useful for lowering blood pressure. This study aims to analyze the effect of progressive muscle relaxation techniques on reducing systolic blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. Methods: The method used is quantitative research with a pre-post test quasi-experimental research design with a control group. Sampling using a simple random sampling technique with a total of 60 respondents divided into 2 groups, namely, 30 intervention groups and 30 control groups. Data analysis using the Independent Sample T-test parametric test. Results: The results showed the average value of pre-test blood pressure in the intervention group was 157 mmHg and the control group was 149 mmHg, while in the post-test the intervention group after being given the progressive muscle relaxation technique was 136 mmHg and the control group was 134 mmHg. Data analysis using the Independent Sample T-test test obtained a p-value of 0.000 which indicates the effect of progressive muscle relaxation techniques on the elderly with hypertension. Conclusions: Therefore, it can be concluded that progressive muscle relaxation techniques can have an effect on reducing systolic blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension and it is recommended that this study be used as a reference material and implementation in performing progressive muscle relaxation techniques to prevent and control hypertension.

PLASTIC BLANKETS AS TEMPERATURE STABILIZER FOR PREMATURE LOW BIRTH WEIGHT (LBW) BABY

2024-05-25T11:40:23+07:00

Introduction: Low birth weight (LBW) babies born via deep transperitoneal cesarean section (SCTP) with a gestational age of less than 34 weeks are highly susceptible to hypothermia. Hypothermia poses a significant risk of neonatal mortality, with LBW being one of the contributing factors. Thus, it is crucial to implement strategies to minimize heat loss and provide warmth, such as using plastic blankets. This case study aims to present the outcomes of implementing plastic blankets to manage hypothermia in LBW babies post-SCTP in the IBS Room at RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang. Methods: The study employs a descriptive design with a nursing care approach. The subjects included premature babies born via SCTP < 34 weeks. Three infant patients according to the criteria were included in the study. The measurement tool used was an observation sheet to monitor axillary temperature. The intervention plan involved providing plastic blankets to all three subjects to prevent hypothermia. Following birth, the infants were placed in an infant warmer, cleaned of mucus, wrapped in a plastic bag with a cloth cap on the head, underwent neonate resuscitation, and then covered with cloth while awaiting transfer to the room. Results: The findings indicate that the plastic blanket intervention increased the post-SCTP LBW temperature by an average of 0.50°C based on thermometer measurements and an average increase of 0.48°C based on infant warmer measurements. Conclusions: Therefore, it is recommended that healthcare professionals, particularly perinatology nurses, consider employing the plastic blanket method in managing hypothermia in LBW babies post-SCTP to maintain thermoregulation.

The data collection instrument used a questionnaire. The data was processed using SPSS v.25 for frequency and percentage. Results: The results showed that most respondents had good work motivation, with 53 respondents (96.4%) providing first aid to patients experiencing cardiac arrest. Conclusions: Nurses are expected to maintain work motivation in providing first aid to patients experiencing cardiac arrest, especially in inpatient rooms, through good collaboration between teams, always receiving positive support in the form of recognition of achievements from colleagues, and increasing periodic certification training related to handling cardiac arrest patients because patient safety is the main priority.

KNOWLEDGE AND READINESS OF ADOLESCENTS AS PROSPECTIVE BRIDES AND GROOMS IN STUNTING PREVENTION EFFORTS

2024-10-14T09:44:21+07:00

Introduction: Stunting is currently happening and is a threat to Indonesia. Planning is needed starting from adolescence, having good knowledge and readiness regarding how to prevent having stunted offspring. The target of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2030 includes the second goal, eliminating hunger and all forms of malnutrition and achieving food security, reducing stunting rates by 40% by 2025. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of knowledge and readiness of adolescents to become prospective brides in an efforts to prevent stunting. Methods: This study uses a survey research design with a sample size of 67 adolescents taken in two cities, DKI Jakarta and Surabaya in 2024. This sampling used purposive sampling. The research variables consist of the knowledge and readiness of adolescents as prospective brides and grooms in efforts to prevent stunting. The instrument used was a questionnaire distributed via Google form distributed by researchers in both areas. The data collected used Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results: There is a relationship between knowledge and the readiness of prospective adolescent brides in efforts to prevent stunting (p=0.001). Conclusions: Health education on stunting, nutritional status, and reproductive health during adolescence must be a mutually supportive program between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education and Culture, both in schools and in integrated “posyandu” that also involve families.
