Basic life support (LBS) is a set of interventions aimed at restoring and maintaining vital organ functions in victims of cardiac and respiratory arrest. Knowledge and skills in doing LBS can be improved by training. This literature review was carried out to determine the effect of LBS training on increasing the knowledge and skills of adolescents in performing first aid in cases of cardiac or respiratory arrest. Articles published in 2010-2020 were found through Google Scholar and the Garuda portal. The results of the 5 articles that were reviewed showed significant changes in the knowledge and skills of adolescents before and after being given training. This suggests that LBS training can improve the level of knowledge and skills of adolescents in performing first aid in cases of cardiac or respiratory arrest.

Hypertension is increase in systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg. Nonpharmacological therapy is one alternative that can be done in elderly with hypertension, namely yoga exercise because it can lower blood pressure. This study purpose was to analyse the effect of yoga exercise on lowering blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. This research method used a literature review. Journal search sources in this study used google scholars, Garuda Dikti and Data Base with the keywords Yoga Gymnastics, Elderly, Hypertension, Blood Pressure. The results of research from the five journals on the effect of yoga exercise on lowering blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension with a total of 336 respondents obtained the p-value = 0.000 with a value = 0.05 (p<α) this indicates that the decrease in blood pressure is significant after being given yoga exercises 3 times a week in elderly patients with hypertension. A significant review of this literature found that blood pressure before and before yoga exercise showed a decrease in blood pressure which was proven that yoga exercise had an effect on lowering blood pressure.
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease that is chronic and requires ongoing medical care in a variety of ways that can reduce the risk of multi-factors beyond glycemic control. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus will cause an increase in complications, one of which is diabetic ulcers. Achieving better wound healing is the main goal of diabetic ulcer management. Moisturizing dressings can provide a supportive environment for cells to carry out the wound healing process and prevent further damage or trauma. This study was to determine the effect of modern dressing with moist healing on diabetic ulcers. This type of research is a quantitative research with a quasi-experimental research design with an accidental sampling approach. Data was collected using demographic data and the Wocare For Indonesian Nurses (WINNERS) Scale assessment sheet which is a modified Bates-Jasen score to predict and evaluate the average score of wound healing. WINNERS scale consists of 10 assessments. The results of the intervention that have been carried out have shown a significant improvement in diabetic ulcers as assessed using the Bates Jensen Wound Assessment Tools. Based on the results and discussion, it was concluded that there was a significant effect of modern wound care using the moist wound healing method on the healing process of diabetic ulcers.
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.
