BACKGROUND: The frequency of hemodialysis therapy routinely affected change in the functional state of the body. Support is one of the factors that can affect life quality. One of the supports can come from nurses through a spiritual caring attitude. AIM: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between spiritual caring and the life quality of patients who were undergoing hemodialysis. METHOD: A literature review was obtained from PubMed and Google Scholar databases (2015–2020) with the keywords Spiritual Care AND Life quality AND Patients with Hemodialysis. RESULTS: Based on nine journals that have been reviewed, spiritual caring behavior that was applied in the form of intervention or spiritual therapy had been proven to have a positive impact on the life quality of patients undergoing hemodialysis. Spiritual interventions in the form of spiritual counseling, deep breathing relaxation exercises based on spiritual elements, and therapy combined with elements of prayer and dhikr were able to give the spirit of the patient in dealing with the illness. Overall, spiritual intervention affected the life quality with p = 0.000–0.032 (α = 0.05), increasing the life quality in physical, psychological, and social and environmental relations. CONCLUSION: The results show a relationship of spiritual caring with the life quality of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Hipertensi merupakan kondisi peningkatan tekanan darah melebihi batas normal. Hipertensi sering disebut sillent killer karena gejalanya jarang dirasakan namun dapat menyebabkan komplikasi di berbagai organ seperti retina, otak, jantung dan ginjal. Penanganan hipertensi dapat dilakukan dengan memberikan terapi non farmakologi berupa hidroterapi kaki dengan rebusan jahe merah hangat. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian hidroterapi kaki dengan rebusan jahe merah hangat terhadap tekanan darah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan asuhan keperawatan yang melibatkan 2 subjek yaitu klien lansia yang mengalami hipertensi primer. Rebusan jahe merah hangat dibuat dengan perbandingan jahe : air yaitu 1 : 30 dengan kadar jahe 50 gram (rimpang utuh) dan di geprek kasar lalu dilakukan perebusan.Terapi ini dilakukan sebanyak 6 kali dalam waktu 2 minggu dengan pemberian terapi selama 15 menit pada suhu 39º - 40º C. Hasil evaluasi didapatkan adanya penurunan tekanan darah setelah melakukan hidroterapi kaki dengan rebusan jahe merah hangat. Perubahan terjadi pada seluruh subyek dengan rata-rata penurunan systole sebanyak 17,66 mmHg dan pada diastole sebanyak 5,06 mmHg. Masalah keperawatan risiko perfusi serebral tidak efektif teratasi sebagian ditandai dengan penurunan nilai tekanan darah. Terjadi perpindahan panas secara konduksi antara air dengan telapak kaki, efek panas dari air dan kandungan minyak atsiri pada jahe merah mampu memberikan efek vasodilatasi pembuluh darah sehingga memicu penurunan tekanan darah. Berdasarkan kesimpulan tersebut saran yang dapat diberikan yaitu mengajarkan dan meningkatkan partisipasi keluarga dalam menurunkan tekanan darah pasien lansia yang mengalami hipertensi.
