“…After cardiac events and getting a discharge, the acute coronary syndrome affects many aspects of a patient's life, including physical, psychological, emotional, and social (Aljabery, Saifan, AbuRuz, Masa'Deh, & Hayeah, 2017). Mental-emotionally, depressive symptoms, and anxiety appear to adversely affect in-hospital and long-term cardiac outcomes of post-ACS patients, independent of traditional risk factors (Huffman, Celano, & Januzzi, 2010).…”

“…The study showed that many developing countries have a low mean of HRQOL. It is supported by Aljabery et al (2017) as nurses in Jordan that tried to assess the quality of life that yields the patients' quality of life mean score for all domains was low. This study used the MacNew instrument in Arabic version with 27 questions: the items and scales are scored from 1 (low HRQOL) to 7 (high HRQOL).…”

“…MacNew provides a normative reference data which recently updated and published to help authors to interrupting their study result (Aljabery et al, 2017;Höfer et al, 2016). On those studies, they only calculate mean Global Score (5.04±1.1) and compare to each dimension score.…”

“…Germany, they used EQ-5D and EQ VAS to measure health status in HRQOL in which more than half respondents had minor problems in at least one dimension that 8.1% rated the problems in at least one dimension as severe such pain/discomfort is dominantly happened in this study (Schweikert et al, 2009) Refer to some previous studies, those global score and its dimension such as emotional domain (4.94±0.89), physical domain (5.07±1.12), and social domain (5.00±5.06) showed has higher score in comparison others developing countries have a low mean MacNew HRQOL. For instance, Aljabery et al (2017) as nurses in Jordan that tried to assess quality of life that yields the patients' quality of life mean score for all domains was low (4.06 ± 1.16). The physical domain was the most affected (3.87 ± 1.28), followed by the emotional (4.21 ± 1.18) and lastly is the social domain (4.26 ± 1.25) while Höfer et al (2016) reported mean MacNew Global HRQOL in the total group was 5.04 (±1.1).…”

This descriptive study aimed to examine the relationship between age, self-efficacy, functional status, pain, dyspnea, social support, and health-related quality of life in patients with acute coronary syndrome in west java, Indonesia. The participants were 186 patients who has acute coronary syndrome or history of acute coronary syndrome visited cardiovascular outpatient clinic in the main national public hospital type A in west java province, Indonesia. The instruments used for data collection were Demographic Questionnaire, General Self-efficacy Scale, Seattle Angina Questionnaire, Rose Questionnaire for Angina, Rose Dyspnea Questionnaire, ENRICH Social Support, and MacNew Health Related Quality of life. These instruments were tested for their content validity by a panel of experts. Internal consistency reliability for each questionnaire tested by Cronbach’s alpha were 0.67 for ESSI and 0.91 for MacNew health-related quality of life. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic and Spearman-rank correlation. The study findings revealed that: 1. The mean score of health-related quality of life in patients with acute coronary syndrome was 4.98 (SD = 0.98). 2. Self-efficacy, functional status, pain, and social support were positively significant correlated to health-related quality of life in patients with acute coronary syndrome (r = 0.299, r=0.601, r=0.296, p<0.01) and (r=0.186, p<0.05) respectively. 3. Dyspnea was negatively significant correlated to health-related quality of life in patients with acute coronary syndrome (r = -0.438, p<0.01). 4. Age was not correlated to health-related quality of life in patients with acute coronary syndrome (r = 0.081, p = 0.270).

Background and Purpose: Prophylactic dressings play a significant role in the prevention of pressure injury. However, no herbal products have been used in this regard, so far. Therefore, the present study was designed with the aim of comparing the effect of Aloe vera gel, Calendula officinalis ointment and simple sacral prophylactic dressings on pressure injury development in patients admitted to intensive care unit. Materials and Methods: The sample of this clinical trial study consisted of 90 critically ill patients. Randomization was performed by head nurse in intensive care unit. Patients in group "A" received Aloe vera gel prophylactic dressing twice a day; patients in group "B" received Calendula officinalis ointment prophylactic dressing twice a day; and patients in group "C" received simple prophylactic dressing twice a day. The development of pressure injury was compared between these three groups after the intervention. Results: Demographic variables were similar in all three groups (p> 0.05). The results showed that 3 patients (10%) who received the simple dressing, 2 patients (6.6%) who received the Calendula officinalis ointment dressing were wounded, while the development of pressure injury in patients who received the Aloe vera gel dressing was zero. The results of chi-square test showed that the frequency distribution of the pressure injury development in the two groups receiving Aloe vera gel and simple dressing was different. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the Aloe vera gel and Calendula officinalis ointment groups as well as the Calendula officinalis ointment group and the simple dressing. Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrated that using Aloe vera gel and Calendula officinalis ointment prophylactic dressing twice a day can be effective in prevention of pressure injury in patients admitted to intensive care unit.
