Introduction: Gout arthritis is a type of arthritis that caused too much uric acid in the blood and accumulation of uric acid crystals and causing pain. This pain will interfere with activities. The study aims to determine the effect of warm compresses of Boiled lemon Grass reduce the intensity pain of gout. Method: This research used Quasi Experiment design, pre-test and post-test without control. The research samples were 20 respondents who feel pain gout arthritis and have increased levels of uric acid in the blood. The instruments used were the observation sheet and pain intensity scale measurement sheet with Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The statistical test used the Paired T Test. Results: The results showed that differences in the pain intensity before and after intervention with p value 0.005, meaning there was a significant effect warm compressed of Boiled lemon Grass to reduce pain in Gout arthritis. Conclusion: The warm compresses of Boiled lemon Grass can be used as a non-pharmacological therapy to reduce the pain of gout arthritis.
Medical nutrition therapy is one of the interventions to provide sufficiently nutrition and to optimize glycemic controls in meeting the body metabolic needs. An Enteral Feeding is an alternative feeding method when there are obstacles to fulfill patients nutrition orally. This study aims to determine feeding tolerances and blood glucose controls in Type2 Diabetes Mellitus patients with different Enteral Feeding frequencies-three and six times preserving. This research is a quasi-experimental design study involving 26 patients admitted in a hospital. The results of the study on respondents with enteral feeding of a frequency 3x/24 hours found that 2respondents (15.4%) were tolerant with enteral feeding given and as many as 3respondents (23.1%) had normal blood glucose, while the results of the study for respondents with enteral feeding of a frequency 6x / 24 hours, 12 respondents (92.3%) were tolerant with enteral feeding given and as many as 12 respondents (92.3%) had normal blood glucose. The results showed that there was a statistically difference between the three times and six times Enteral Feeding with feeding tolerance (p = 0.005). There was a difference between the frequency of enteral feeding six times and three times in the blood glucose level (p = 0.005). Results of this study will assist in controlling blood glucose by regulating the timing of feeding in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
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.
