Patients with cataracts can experience psychological and physiological impacts; the physiological impact caused is discomfort in sight, while the psychological impact on patients is anxiety because they will have surgery on the eye. This study aims to analyze the effect of providing perioperative health education on the coping mechanisms of preoperative cataract patients. This study used a quasi-experimental research design with a pre-test and post-test research approach with a control group design. The research sampling technique used is consecutive. The sample in this study were cataract patients who were going to perform cataract surgery as many as 30 respondents. Analysis of the data used using the dependent t-test and independent t-test. This study's results indicate differences in coping mechanisms in the measurement of the treatment and control groups, with a p-value = 0.001. This study concluded that there were significant differences in coping mechanisms after being given perioperative health education in the treatment group and the control group. Nurses are expected to be able to apply health education to preoperative cataract patients so that the patient's coping becomes adaptive and ready for surgery
Patients with paralytic ileus generally have complaints of abdominal pain of uncertain duration. The pain that appears can get worse with anxiety about something being experienced, such as a surgical action plan. Feelings of anxiety can be a stressor and cause nursing problems in the form of anxiety. Guided imagery therapy is known to be a non-pharmacological therapy in dealing with pain and feelings of anxiety in preoperative patients. This study aims to analyze the administration of guided imagery relaxation therapy to the problem of acute preoperative pain in patients with paralytic ileus. The research method used in this study was a descriptive case study. The research was conducted for three days on one patient with preoperative paralytic ileus in the Mawar Room at RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. Guided imagery therapy is carried out twice daily for 20-30 minutes. The results obtained from this study were that after pain management was carried out with guided imagery therapy, the patient's pain level decreased from the NRS 6 scale to the NRS 5 scale, respiratory frequency 20x/minute, SpO2 96%, blood pressure 130/100 mm Hg, pulse rate 101x/minute. Reducing the pain scale results indicate that guided imagery therapy can be applied to treat pain and anxiety in preoperative patients to improve their condition. respiratory frequency 20x/minute, SpO2 96%, blood pressure 130/100 mmHg, pulse rate 101x/minute.
