Salah satu penatalaksanaan asma yaitu latihan pernapasan diafragma yang dapat meningkatkan fungsi paru pasien asma. Tujuan penelitian untuk menguji pengaruh latihan pernapasan diafragma terhadap peningkatan Arus Puncak Ekspirasi (APE) dan penurunan frekuensi kekambuhan pasien asma. Penelitian true experiment pretest-posttest with control group melibatkan 28 subjek penelitian secara random. Subjek dibagi menjadi kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol melalui randomisasi sejumlah 14 orang untuk masing-masing kelompok. Pengukuran APE menggunakan peak flow meter dan frekuensi kekambuhan dicatat dengan lembar catatan observasi. Hasil penelitian terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan rerata selisih APE kelompok intervensi (mean 126,43±22,05 L/menit) dan kelompok kontrol (mean 52,14±56,45 L/menit) dengan p 0,001, serta terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan rerata selisih frekuensi kekambuhan kelompok intervensi (mean 1,29±0,61) dan kelompok kontrol (mean 0,79±0,57) dengan nilai p 0,038. Latihan pernapasan diafragma menjadi pertimbangan dalam penatalaksanaan pasien asma. Kata kunci: arus puncak ekspirasi, asma, frekuensi kekambuhan, latihan pernapasan diafragma
Among people with diabetes mellitus (DM), the two common strategies for decreasing peak plantar pressure (PPP) to reduce diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) risks are to modify walking speeds and to change insole materials. This study reviewed the PPP reduction based on various walking speeds and insole materials. The articles were retrieved from four major scientific databases and manual search. We identified 1585 articles, of which 27 articles were selected for full-text analysis. We found that in faster walking speeds, the forefoot PPP was higher (308 kPa) than midfoot (150 kPa) and rearfoot (251 kPa) PPP. The appropriate walking speed for reducing the forefoot PPP was about 6 km/h for non-DM and 4 km/h for DM people. The forefoot PPP in DM people was 185% higher than that of non-DM people. Ethylene–vinyl acetate (EVA) insole material was the most popular material used by experts (26%) in the forefoot and reduced 37% of PPP. In conclusion, the suitable walking speed for DM was slower than for non-DM people, and EVA was the most common insole material used to decrease the PPP under the forefoot. The clinicians might recommend DM people to walk at 4 km/h and wear EVA insole material to minimize the DFUs.
Uncontrolled diabetes might generate the physical and psychological complication. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of Benson’s relaxation and murottal “Ar-Rahmaan” to the fasting blood glucose (FBG) and stress score. This research was quasi experimental study with two group pre test-post test control group design. The research has been done in the Health Care Center of Maos and “Graha Amanah” Clinic of Maos. Sample technique used total sampling, with 60 according to the inclusion criteria. The respondents were divided into control group and intervention group. Every group had 30 respondents. The intervention group was given Benson’s relaxation and murottal, menwhile the control group was given the Benson’s relaxation only. This intervention was done twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon, for 7 days.The results showed the difference of the FBG level before and after intervention between groups (p value=0,000; Z score=- 4,097;Mean+SD intervention group= -66,300+45,672;Mean+SD control group= -23,766+13,438). Benson’s relaxation and murottal therapy could decrease FBG significantly.
BACKGROUND: Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) is one of the medical devices commonly inserted in hospitalized patients, both adults and pediatrics. PIVC has crucial functions for delivering drugs, fluids, blood transfusions, and diagnostic tests for patients. Thus, nursing students must be confident in terms of insertion and management of this device. However, studies assessing nursing students’ confidence and its determinants are still limited.
AIM: This study aims to examine the internship nursing student’s confidence in PIVC insertion and management in adult patients and its contributing factors.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted to measure internship nursing students’ confidence in PIVC cannulation and management in adult patients as well as its contributing factors. Purposive samples of 100 nursing students in Yogyakarta were recruited, and a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 19 questions was used. Kruskal–Wallis test was utilized to investigate the association of the internship nursing student confidence on PIVC insertion and maintenance with the factors. A general linear regression analysis was performed to obtain adjusted estimates of the potential factors with students’ confidence.
RESULTS: Results indicated that the internship nursing student’s confidence score ranged from 57 to 95, with a mean value of 75 (±8.1). Among determinants of the student’s confidence investigated in this study, t-test analysis showed that the students’ confidence was associated with their participation in expert lecture, bedside teaching, and direct observation of procedural skill assessment of PIVC insertion and care (p < 0.05). The general linear analysis showed that only bedside teaching and interaction of bedside teaching and direct observation procedural skill assessment were significant predictors of the internship nursing student’s confidence on PIVC insertion and care (β = 10.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.00–20.00 and β = 13.15, 95% CI 1.20–25.15, p < 0.05, respectively).
CONCLUSION: This result indicated that nursing students need direct simulation and assessment of PIVC insertion and care to the patients to improve their confidence in PIVC insertion and management in adult patients.
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.
