Abstract

Natural transition from labour to post-partum can cause lifestyle changes that impact the mother’s physiological and psychological effects. Physical changes that include changes in diet, fluids, elimination, and obesity, as well as psychological changes such as anxiety, sleep disturbances, and depression, are common during this transitional period. For this reason, we use the Healthy Lifestyle approach to provide an overview and information regarding the mother’s adaptation during the post-partum period. Healthy lifestyle emphasizes that lifestyle has an important impact on health in which there is a role for individuals and others. In this case, nurses have a vital role in identifying and conducting analysis to determine the proper lifestyle and make mothers adapt easily during the transitional period from childbirth to post-partum. The main point of the intervention is to improve the well-being of the mother and baby.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world, and it remains a significant public health concern. Cambodia is one of the 30 countries with the highest tuberculosis burden. Objective: to explore the knowledge and attitudes about TB and obtain sources of TB information among college students in Cambodia. Methods: The study design was descriptive and cross-sectional. The participants were 240 students from the Royal University of Phnom Penh who were chosen at random. The questionnaire was self-administered. The information was gathered in May 2019 and analyzed using descriptive and t-test statistics and the Chi-square test. To determine statistical significance, a p-value of 0.05 was used.  Results: This study revealed that students moderately understood tuberculosis (M = 27.76, range = 21 - 35). Male students had higher levels of TB knowledge than female students (X2 = 5.909, p = 0.052). Many students lacked knowledge regarding tuberculosis transmission and had a negative attitude toward tuberculosis, particularly “if they found out that they had TB” and “if they thought they had symptoms of TB.” TB data was gathered from various sources. TB knowledge was significantly related to TB information obtained by health workers (r = 0.234, p = 0.01). Conclusions: The findings emphasize increasing knowledge about tuberculosis prevention and treatment. They will be able to practice appropriate health behavior through health education effectively, and education will lead to the formation of proper attitudes about tuberculosis.

Background: Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive intervention that can cause complications of vascular access after compression of the femoral artery or sheath removal. Cold pack gel is a non-pharmacological therapy given after sheat removal to reduce pain. Objective:This study aimed to measure the effect of ice pack gel on pain reduction in arterial sheath removal post-cardiac catheterization patients. Methods: This interventional clinical study with control and group treatment was conducted in the cardiology room of Saiful Anwar Hospital Malang, Indonesia. The respondents (n=32) were divided into two groups in pre and post-test control group design. Group A receives pressure bandages as a standard protocol (control groups) while group B, ice-packed gel. Pain scale measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) by 1-10. Results: The Mann-Whitney test in two groups shows that there are differences in scores of pain reduction. The pain reduction difference in the treatment group (ice pack gel) was higher than the control ones (p < 0.001). The cold temperature of the cold-packed gel decreased the peripheral free nerve ending conductivity, furthermore, it made sensitivity stimulus or pain impulses slowed down then reduced the perception of pain.
