Introduction: As many as 1 billion people in the world or about 1 in 4 adults suffer from hypertension. Many people with hypertension still ignore their disease, even though if left untreated it will lead to further complications. This is because knowledge about hypertension affects the quality of life for people with hypertension. Method: This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the physical activity of people with hypertension. This study used a quantitative analytic study with a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique used proportional random sampling. The study population was 100 people, and a total sample of 50 people. The research instrument used an accurate knowledge questionnaire of 20 items to see the level of knowledge and a physical activity questionnaire on the SF-12 to see the quality of life. Result: The results showed that the respondents had more knowledge than the average yaiu as many as 32 people (64%). While the physical activity of respondents in the good category was 25 people (50%). Conclusion: Based on the results of the analysis, the conclusion is that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and physical activity in patients with hypertension as evidenced by the value of ρ value =0.002 and the value of chi square (X2) = 9.810.
Introduction: Progressive muscle stiffness, especially in the proximal muscle groups of the lower limbs, in patients with hypokalemia paralysis causes recurrent acute attacks. Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the results of applying cold compress therapy as an effort to reduce muscle stiffness in hypokalemia paralysis patients. Method: This research used the design of the Evidence Based Nursing implementation process consisting of: (1) compiling questions (Problem/population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome) to be implemented, (2) tracing evidence related to cases to be discussed, (3) assessing the evidence presented. obtained in stage two, and (5) evaluation of the implementation of Evidence Based Nursing. Result: Giving cold compress therapy intervention, the visual analog scale decreased from level 7 (very severe scale) or scale 1 (mild pain), the patient said that significant decrease in pain scale after cold compress therapy. Conclusion: Cold compress therapy for 15 minutes can reduce the scale of pain and muscle stiffness.
Background: Hepatoma is an abnormal growth of liver cells, which is characterized by a mass in the right upper abdomen, which can cause chronic pain. Pain arises from tissue damage and inflammation of the liver. One of the nursing interventions that can be done to overcome the main problem of chronic pain is hot compresses. Objective: This study aims to present nursing care with hot compress intervention as an effort to overcome the main problem of chronic pain in hepatoma patients. Methods: This case study uses nursing care methods that include assessment, determination of nursing diagnoses, nursing plans, implementation of nursing and nursing evaluation which was carried out for 3 days in the aster room of the Banjar City Hospital. The assessment was carried out by way of history taking and observation. Nursing diagnosis is determined by the IDHS, while the nursing plan is adjusted to the grouping of interventions in SIKI supported by Evidence Based Nursing. Implementation and evaluation of nursing is documented with the SOAPIER model. Giving hot compress therapy to hepatoma patients is given using a bottle covered with a cloth so that the heat does not directly stick to the skin, with a duration of 15 minutes. Results: After being given a heat compress intervention, the pain scale was reduced from 8 to 2, while the subjective data from the anamnesis, the client said the pain was reduced. Conclusion: Heat compress therapy can be an effective nursing intervention to reduce chronic pain in hepatoma patients.
Hyperthermia increased the core human body temperature above normal 36.7-37.5 °C, usually caused by infection, resulting in fever, and was the most common manifestation. One of the efforts that could be done to overcome the symptoms of hyperthermia was the application of warm compresses to the frontal, axillary, and dorsalis pedis. The study aimed to describe body temperature changes in hyperthermic patients after warm compress was applied. This study used a descriptive design with a literature review approach. Twelve articles were included in this review by six journal databases: PubMed, JSTOR, Wiley Online Library, Sage Journal, Taylor and Francis Online, and Google Scholar. The selection was carried out by assessing articles that met the inclusion criteria, including the publication range for 2008-2021, English and Indonesian languages ??, and open access to full-text pdf. The critical assessment was carried out by using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programmed instrument. The review results showed that the warm compress method had a positive effect in lowering body temperature in the nursing process in patients with hyperthermia. Based on the literature from the reviewed articles, it could be concluded that a warm compress intervention needed to be given to hyperthermic patients to lower the patient's body temperature whether they were undergoing treatment or not
Introduction: Femur fracture is a break in the continuity or fracture in the thigh caused by external pressure or physical exertion which is characterized by deformities such as shortening of the leg in the fractured part and limitation of motion. Objective: This case study aims to overcome the physical mobility constraints and activity limitations of the patient Method: Physical examination of the fracture of the femur was performed using the head-to-toe method in postoperative patients with Open Reduction Internal Fixation. The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association is used to determine nursing diagnoses. Meanwhile, nursing intervention refers to the Nursing Intervention Classification and the Nursing Outcomes Classification. Result: A nursing diagnosis of physical mobility impairment with the diagnosis number 00085 was given a nursing intervention in the form of a ROM excercise. After 7 days of nursing intervention, physical mobility impairments were resolved with the criteria that the patient's joint movement increased from stiffness to being able to move, the patient's muscle movement increased with muscle strength from 3 to 5, the patient's balance from very disturbed to slightly disturbed, the patient's way of walking from very annoyed to be quite annoyed. Conclusion: ROM Excercise can increase physical mobility aided by using a mobilization aid (crutch), so it is important to do in patients with a diagnosis of impaired physical mobility
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
