Abstract

Background: The increasing number of elderly service users in nursing homes and the small number of geriatric specialist nurses have made nurses who work in nursing homes vulnerable to burnout. Therefore, it's crucial to develop methods to anticipate and overcome burnout in geriatric nurses, particularly through non-pharmacological approaches. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of sports massage and acupressure on lactic acid levels, physical and psychological fatigue, and nurse performance. Method: A quantitative research was carried out with a quasi-experimental approach. The study population comprised nurses working at the Tresna Wredha Social Institution (TWSI). The sample included 30 participants, selected through a total sampling technique, and divided into three groups. The collected data was analyzed using ANOVA. Results: A total of 30 nurses participated in the study. After receiving the intervention, the sports massage group showed the lowest lactic acid levels at 2.7 mmol/L, the lowest physical fatigue with an average value of 25.0, and the highest performance score with an average value of 135.0. The results of statistical calculations indicate a relationship between sports massage and acupressure with outcomes (lactic acid levels, physical and psychological fatigue, and nurse performance) with a p-value of less than 0.05. Additionally, the Pairwise Comparison test found that sports massage is more effective than acupressure in reducing lactic acid levels and physical and psychological fatigue. Conclusion: The study shows that sports massage and acupressure significantly decrease lactic acid levels and physical/psychological fatigue, and can improve the performance of nurses. Furthermore, sports massage is more effective than acupressure in achieving these outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Dysmenorrhea, or pain during menstruation, affects a high percentage of women of reproductive age. It can disrupt learning activities at school, cause a lack of concentration, and lead to frequent absences, ultimately decreasing the quality of life for young women. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of abdominal stretching, yoga, and dysmenorrhea exercises on prostaglandin levels and pain in school-age adolescents. Method: A quasi-experimental study with an experimental laboratory design was used, with pretest and posttest control groups. The sampling technique used was probability sampling with simple random sampling of 32 female students divided into four groups, with three groups receiving abdominal stretching, yoga therapy, and dysmenorrhea exercises, respectively, and one group serving as the control group. Data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The average prostaglandin levels after treatment were highest in the abdominal stretching group at 31.7 pg/mL and lowest in the dysmenorrhea group at 19.0 pg/mL. The difference in prostaglandin levels was highest in the dysmenorrhea exercise group at 42.5 pg/mL and lowest in the control group at 14.4 pg/mL. Most participants who experienced moderate pain before and after the intervention generally complained of mild pain. Conclusion: The study found a significant effect of abdominal stretching therapy, yoga therapy, and dysmenorrhea exercises on prostaglandin levels and pain. Dysmenorrhea exercises were found to be the most effective therapy in reducing prostaglandin levels and dysmenorrhea pain, compared to abdominal stretching and yoga therapy.
