Background: Head-injured patients have traditionally been maintained in the head-up position to ameliorate the effects of increased intracranial pressure (ICP). However, it has been reported that the 15 degrees head-up position may improve cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and outcome. We sought to determine the impact of 30 and 15 degrees on intracranial pressure change.Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with posttest only control time series time design. There were 30 head-injured patients was selected using consecutive sampling, with 15 assigned in the treatment (30° head-up position) and control group (15° head-up position). Intracranial pressure variable was identified using the level of consciousness and mean arterial pressure parameters. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for data analysisResults: Findings showed p-value 0.010 (0.05) on awareness level and p-value 0.031 (0.05) on mean arterial pressure, which indicated that there was a statistically significant effect of the 30° head-up position on level of awareness and mean arterial pressure.Conclusion: There was a significant effect of the 30° head-up position on intracranial pressure changes, particularly in the level of awareness and mean arterial pressure in patients with head injury. It is recommended that for health workers to provide knowledge regarding this intervention to prevent increased intracranial pressure.
Discharge planning merupakan bagian penting dalam proses pemindahan dan pemulangan, karena masalah yang lebih kompleks biasanya terjadi pada masa-masa tersebut. Terlebih pada pasien yang mendapatkan perawatan untuk jangka waktu lama, seperti pasien skizofrenia. Idealnya discharge planning sudah dilakukan sejak awal pasien masuk rumah sakit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pengalaman perawat dalam penerapan discharge planning pada pasien skizofrenia di IGD.Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif fenomenlogi dengan pendekatan interpretif.Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada 4 partisipan dengan in-depth interview menggunakan pedoman wawancara semi terstruktur.Hasil penelitian ini mendapatkan 4 tema yaitu teknik pengkajian yang diterapkan, tahapan discharge planning belum adekuat, dokumentasi tidak akurat dan pertimbangan pemindahan pasien tidak konsisten.Kesimpulan hasil penelitian ini bahwa penerapan discharge planning yang ada di IGD tersebut belum adekuat.Untuk itu, sangat penting bagi rumah sakit segera menyusun pedoman pelaksanaan discharge planning supaya bisa menjadi acuan bagi perawat.Aspek pendokumentasian juga sebaiknya mendapat perhatian karena dokumentasi merupakan aspek legal perawat dalam pelaksanaan asuhan keperawatan.
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.
