Introduction Stroke is the third largest cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Post-stroke patients who have disabilities will lose independence and become dependent on others. The role of the family is significant in helping patients meet psychological, social and spiritual needs. In addition, the family plays a role in recovery and optimizing the client’s motor skills. A family member is the primary support system of direct service providers in every situation. This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge, self-efficacy and family skills in doing a range of motion exercises post-stroke. Methods Correlational research method with a Cross-Sectional Study approach with post-stroke client family research samples was taken in total sampling with 55 respondents. Analysis using bivariate analysis with Spearman’s-rho correlation test. Results The results showed that family knowledge was above average with a Median value of 15.00 (IQR = 2), family self-efficacy was above average with a Mean value of 51.47 (SD = 11.67), and family skills were above average with a mean value of 7.73 (SD = 2.70). Discussion The results of bivariate analysis stated that there was a relationship between family knowledge and family skills in doing a range of motion exercises with p-value = 0.00 (r = 0.613), and there was a relationship between family self-efficacy and family skills in doing a range of motion exercises with p-value = 0.00 (r = 0.497). This research has implications for community nurses to provide interventions and enhance visite to family members with post-stroke.
Pulmonary TB has symptoms similar to covid-19 and also the easy way of spreading causes people to be reluctant to go to health services for fear of contracting or being diagnosed with covid-19. This has caused the number of case discoveries and the success of TB treatment to decrease. This study aims to determine the behavioral picture of health care search in pulmonary TB patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is a cross-sectional study conducted on 100 pulmonary TB patients in Padang City aged more than 17 years, who are or have completed treatment at the Puskesmas Anak Air and Lubuk Buaya in January-June 2022 which were randomly selected. Data were collected through a modified questionnaire of healthcare-seeking behavior on pulmonary TB patients. The results showed that most respondents first visited public health services (51%), especially Puskesmas (52.9%), because they believed that pulmonary TB could be cured (62.7) and wanted to get health services from health workers (56.9%). However, there are still people who do not visit health services for the first time (49%) for fear of being diagnosed (55.1%) or contracting covid-19 (46.9%). For this reason, as nurses, we must continue to actively educate the public so that public knowledge about pulmonary TB and covid-19 increases and there is no negative perception of disease or anxiety in the community.
Stroke is a serious problem faced almost all over the world. The incidence of stroke varies between countries and places. Stroke ranks third largest in developed countries and is the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. The disability due to stroke is generally higher than the mortality rate, globally 15 million people have a stroke each year, one third die and the rest experience permanent disability. Restoration of motor functions as a supporter of body movements in post-stroke clients is very important. This is because more than 85% of clients who suffer stroke have upper limb dysfunction. This Literature Study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Range of Motion (ROM) exercises on improving the ability of motion or independence of Activity Daily Living (ADL) in post-stroke clients. This study uses the literature review method by analyzing the results of previous studies. Search for articles was conducted on August 19 to August 31, 2019 through Pro-quest, Pubmed and Science Direct databases using the keywords Activity Daily Living AND Range of Motion AND Post Stroke, then article selection based on criterion of inclusion was carried out critical appraisal so that the relevant articles amounted 14 articles. From a number of studies conducted by previous researchers, it was found that there was a significant effect of Range of Motion training on increasing the ability of the stroke client's range of motion. The Range of Motion training program is effective in increasing the ability of the client's range of motion after a stroke so that it will have an impact on increasing the ability of clients to do daily living activities.
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.
