The study aimed to determine the effects of giving range of motion (ROM) twice a week as a form intradialytic exercise on patients' dialysis adequacy and quality of life. A total of 48 eligible participants were recruited and completed this study.The intervention group (n = 24) received twice a week ROM exercise over a 4 weeks period. The outcomes were assessed at pretest and at the end of the intervention. The study shows that ROM exercise was effective in improving dialyis adequacy that include ureum retention ratio (p= 0.027) and Kt/V (p= 0.017). Quality of life improved significantly particularly in the domains of symptom and effect of kidney disease. Integrating ROM into dialysis care shows as a potential intervention to improve dialysis adequacy and quality of life for patients undergoing hemodialysis. Future research should evaluate its efficacy using a randomized clinical trial design and larger sample of patients.
ABSTRACT Suicide is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Suicide is an intentional act to end life. Pharmacological, psychological, health education, family support and the media are proposed as effective measures to treat depression and suicide. However, these guidelines do not have sufficient evidence to prevent suicide so this is a challenge for the world of health, especially nursing. The aim of this review is to report the results of studies that focus on interventions undertaken for suicide prevention. The search method for relevant articles uses the database PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar using the keywords suicide prevention, suicide intervention, and suicide therapy. Nine articles were included in the literature review, covering various types of suicide intervention, frequency of intervention, and effects of intervention. This literature review identifies eight types of interventions that can be done to prevent suicide, namely ACT, CBT, SAFETY, SOS, ASSIP. The conclusion is that ACT, CBT, SAFETY, SOS, ASSIP interventions can be done to prevent suicide, by increasing knowledge, education, skills regarding suicide and awareness related to suicide and family participation are the main points of interventions that must be carried out to prevent suicide . Keywords: Prevention of suicide, suicide intervention, suicide therapy
Background: Changes in lifestyle associated with the complex treatment of hemodialysis, which ultimately affects the mental or psychological and social of the patient. Changes in physical, psychological functioning, lack of mobility, work problems, unemployment in activities, fatigue and fear of future challenges are problems faced by people with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis therapy. Objective: To determine the quality of life in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy. Method: Type of descriptive research using Analytical Survey with a total sample of 53 respondents taken with purposive sampling techniques and quality of life instruments measured with KDQOL-SF 3.6. Results: Average quality of life symptom/problem list 66.90, effect kidney disease 65.68, burden kidney disease 50.47, SF-12 Physical Health 40.69, and SF-12 Mental Health 50.20. Conclusion: The role of families and hospitals is able to improve and maintain the quality of life of chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy.
Introduction: The rationale for the birth of family planning in Indonesia is the population problem. The important aspects of population are the size of the population, the number of population growth, the number of deaths, and the number of population movements. Based on data from the Central Java Province BKKBN, the number of IUD KB participants in 2014 was 472,217. Objective: to describe the factors causing the low acceptors of intrauterine devices at BPM Suci Paimin, Bendosari District, Sukoharjo Regency. Method: This research method uses a single variable with a non-probability sampling technique, namely accidental sampling. Family planning acceptors at BPM Suci Paimin, Toriyo Village, Bendosari District, Sukoharjo Regency, were 57 respondents. The measuring instrument used is a questionnaire. Results: This study found that the factors that caused the low acceptors of intrauterine devices were elementary education at 42.1%, environmental factors did not support it at 86.0%, and husband's support 100% husband did not support or approve. Conclusion: The factors causing the low acceptors of intrauterine devices, the factor at BPM Suci Paimin, Bendosari District, Sukoharjo Regency, is the husband's most dominant support factor because 100% of husbands do not support or approve.
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.
