Abstract

AbstrakDokumentasi asuhan keperawatan merupakan hal penting karena pendekatan proses keperawatan menjadi kerangka akuntabilitas perawat profesional. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan komunikasi dan supervisi kepala ruangan dengan kelengkapan pendokumentasian asuhan keperawatan oleh perawat pelaksana di ruang rawat inap RS X Cianjur. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah seluruh perawat yang bekerja di 11 ruang rawat inap. Sampel 106 perawat pelaksana yang merupakan total populasi. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner dan daftar tilik. Analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah regresi logistik model faktor risiko. Hasil analisis univariat menunjukkan bahwa perawat pelaksana rata-rata mempunyai persepsi kurang baik terhadap pelaksanaan komunikasi dan supervisi kepala ruangan dan didapatkan juga kelengkapan pendokumentasian asuhan keperawatan oleh perawat pelaksana belum baik dengan cut of point 80%. Analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa variabel komunikasi dan supervisi kepala ruangan berhubungan dengan kelengkapan pendokumentasian asuhan keperawatan oleh perawat pelaksana (p< 0,05). Hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan bahwa variabel yang paling berpengaruh terhadap kelengkapan pendokumentasian asuhan keperawatan adalah supervisi. Penelitian ini kiranya dapat dimanfaatkan oleh pimpinan dan bidang keperawatan RS X Cianjur untuk dapat meningkatkan kinerja kepala ruangan maupun perawat pelaksana dengan pengoptimalan kegiatan supervisi keperawatan di ruangan melalui upaya pendidikan dan pelatihan baik secara formal maupun non formal. AbstractNursing care documentation holds the accountability aspect of professional nursing practice.

Abstract

AbstrakPenelitian kuasi-eksperimen dengan post-test only with control group ini bertujuan mengetahui dampak bladder training menggunakan metode konvensional dan menggunakan modifikasi cara Kozier, dilihat dari pola, keluhan, dan lama waktu berkemih kembali seperti sebelum operasi ortopedi. Pengambilan sampel pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode probability sampling dengan cara simple random sampling pasien pascabedah ortopedi yang terpasang kateter urin di sebuah rumah sakit di Jakarta. Uji chi square digunakan untuk mengetahui perbedaan pola berkemih dan keluhan berkemih antara kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Independent t test untuk mengetahui perbedaan lama waktu pada kelompok intervensi dan kontrol. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan pola berkemih (p = 1,00) dan keluhan berkemih (p =1,00) antara kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Namun, ada perbedaan signifikan antara lama waktu untuk berkemih kembali normal pada kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol (p = 0,05) dengan α = 0,05. Institusi pelayanan perlu membuat prosedur tetap untuk tindakan bladder training dan perawat perlu melakukan bladder training dengan modifikasi cara Kozier sebelum kateter urin pasien dilepaskan. AbstractThis quasy-experimental post-test only with control group study was aimed to examine the effect of bladder training using conventional method and modification of Kozier’s method which was viewed from pattern of voiding, complaint of voiding and the time needed to make voiding back to normal. The participants were taken randomly from the patients with urinary catheter that hospitalized in orthopaedic surgery ward in a hospital in Jakarta. Probability sampling with simple random sampling was used in this study. Chi-square test was employed to examine the different between pattern of voiding and complaint of voiding of treatment group and control group. Independent t test was used to examine the different of time needed in order to void back normally between treatment and control group. With alpha 0,01 for pattern of voiding and 1,00 for complaint of voiding, the result showed that there was no difference of voiding pattern and complaint between treatment and control group. However, there was a significant difference of time needed in order to void back normally between treatment group and control group, with α = 0,05. Therefore, health care institution should have a standard procedure of bladder training and nurses should conduct Kozier modified bladder training method before removing the urinary catheter.

Abstract

Abstract End stage renal disease (ESRD) is currently a global problem because of its increasing prevalence. Hemodialysis is the main management in ESRD patients. The importance of assessing the adequacy of dialysis greatly influences the quality and continuity of the patient's life. This paper is a literature review to identify the effect of i tai chi exercise on the adequacy of hemodialysis in ESRD patients. The authors used several databases to search for literary sources to be studied, namely Web of Science, EBSCO, PubMed, and Google Scholar. It was found that tai chi is a safe therapy less complications and have beneficial for ESRD patients. Tai chi can suppress bone reabsorption, improve functional balance and strength, increase the rate of blood in the muscles, increase capillary size and surface area which results in increased movement of toxins and urea in cells that move to the vascular eventually towards the hemodialysis machine. In addition, tai chi can be beneficial to make circulation smooth, reduce blood pressure, and facilitate the release of lactic acid so that it can reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Tai chi is recommended as a treatment modality choice to increase the adequacy of hemodialysis in ESRD patients. Keywords: adequate dialysis, ESRD, hemodialysis, intradialysis exercise, tai chi.
