Abstract

Background: Appendicitis leads to post-appendectomy pain with significant physical and mental implications, necessitating non-pharmacological pain management approaches. Objective: This study aimed to determine which non-pharmacological interventions can effectively reduce postoperative pain following an appendectomy. Design: A rapid review study design was employed. Data Sources: The databases used were EBSCOhost-CINAHL and PubMed. The article search was conducted on March 14, 2022. Review Methods: The identified articles were described using PRISMA guidelines and sorted based on inclusion criteria. These criteria included patients with appendicitis aged 18-59 years who underwent appendectomy, non-pharmacological pain management interventions, studies utilizing the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) method, full-text articles available, English language, and articles published between 2012-2022. Studies involving pediatric and elderly appendectomy patients, as well as studies with insignificant results, were excluded.  Results: Four articles were analyzed, revealing four types of interventions: Foot and Hand Reflexology (Massage), Lavender Aromatherapy and Almond oil (Aromatherapy), Inhalation aromatherapy with sweet-scented geranium essential oil, and Acupressure Le7. These interventions were then classified into two categories: aromatherapy-based interventions and neurostimulation-based interventions. All interventions were found to significantly reduce pain in appendectomy patients. Conclusions: Non-pharmacological therapies, such as lavender and almond oil aromatherapy, sweet-scented geranium aromatherapy, foot and hand reflexology, and Le7 acupressure, have demonstrated positive effects in reducing long-term pain after an appendectomy.

Abstract

Background: A fracture is a condition in which the continuity of bone tissue is broken, causing stress and pain during the healing process. Therefore, the management of pain in postoperative bone fracture patients should be addressed.. Objective: The aim is to identify interventions for managing pain in patients with postoperative bone fractures. Design: A systematic scoping review. Data Sources: The search process was conducted from March 8 to March 15, 2022, using the following databases: PubMed, CINAHL, and Science Direct. Review Methods: PRISMA flowcharts were used for the systematic review. Articles published in the last five years (2018-2022) were included, focusing on full-text articles, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and cohort studies that discussed the topic of postoperative pain management in fracture patients. The search yielded a total of 4,324 articles from the four databases. After screening by year, 819 articles were obtained. Based on the full text and abstracts of 432 articles, and applying exclusion and inclusion criteria, five articles were selected.  Results: The five articles demonstrated that pain management in postoperative bone fracture patients can be achieved through various pharmacological approaches, including peripheral nerve block anesthesia, antioxidants (vitamin C), intravenous tranexamic acid, intravenous dexamethasone, and the use of calculators and comprehensive pain plans as management tools. Conclusions: This study recommends that healthcare professionals apply and further develop the findings as a pain management strategy for postoperative bone fracture patients.

Abstract

Background: Early mobilization is an effective approach for the healing process following lower extremity surgery. However, its successful implementation requires self-encouragement and motivation from patients. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between motivation and the implementation of early mobilization in patients undergoing lower extremity surgery. Methods: A cross-sectional analytic descriptive study was conducted involving 41 respondents who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through motivation questionnaires and early mobilization observation sheets. The collected data were analyzed using the Spearman Rho test with a significance level of ? = 0.05.  Results: Out of the 41 respondents, 21 (51.2%) showed moderate levels of motivation for early mobilization, while 20 (48.8%) demonstrated sufficient to good implementation of early mobilization. The statistical test revealed a significant relationship between motivation and early mobilization (p=0.035 or p<0.05), with an r-value of 0.329. Conclusions: The results highlight a significant correlation between motivation and early mobilization, which is closely associated with psychological mechanisms. The need for quick recovery serves as an encouragement for optimal early mobilization. Higher motivation levels contribute to better implementation of early mobilization. Considering the importance of motivational variables, it is suggested that nurses increase educational exposure and involve the patient’s family in order to enhance motivation for early mobilization.

Abstract

Background: Spinal anesthesia can cause a significant decrease in blood pressure and increased vagal tone, leading to bradycardia, nausea, and vomiting. To mitigate the risk of nausea and vomiting, it is important to provide appropriate fluid therapy during fasting or anesthesia. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between preoperative fluid therapy and the occurrence of nausea and vomiting events in post-spinal anesthetic patients at Dr. Saiful Anwar Hospital, Malang. Methods: This research employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A purposive sampling technique was used, and 50 respondents were selected. The research instrument included the Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching (RINVR) observation sheet and fluid calculation formulas. The statistical test employed was Spearman’s rho with a 95% confidence interval (CI) or a significant level value (?) of 0.05.  Results: The results showed that 52% of respondents did not experience nausea and vomiting, 44% experienced mild nausea and vomiting, and 4% experienced moderate nausea and vomiting. The Spearman Rank statistical test yielded a p-value of < 0.0001. Conclusions: In conclusion, there was a significant relationship between preoperative fluid therapy and the incidence of nausea and vomiting in post-spinal anesthesia patients. Therefore, administering adequate fluids before spinal anesthesia can reduce the risk of complications, such as nausea and vomiting, associated with spinal anesthesia.

Abstract

Background: Hypercholesterolemia refers to the buildup of fat in the blood, leading to the accumulation of fatty deposits on the walls of blood vessels, known as atherosclerosis. High cholesterol levels can adversely affect health, including the sleep quality of the older adults, leading to physical and psychological health issues. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between hypercholesterolemia and sleep quality among older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional design was utilized in this study, with a sample size of 60 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved the use of a cholesterol level observation sheet and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank correlation.  Results: The results revealed a significant relationship between hypercholesterolemia and sleep quality in the older adults (p < 0.0001; r = 0.802). This indicates a positive correlation between hypercholesterolemia and sleep quality among the older adults. Conclusions: The study concludes that as hypercholesterolemia levels become more normalized, sleep quality improves. Conversely, higher levels of hypercholesterolemia are associated with poorer sleep quality in the older adults.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer exerts a broad impact on psychological well-being, notably leading to heightened anxiety levels. Uncontrolled anxiety can interfere with planned therapy, making it crucial to understand its underlying factors. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between family support and anxiety in patients with stage III breast cancer. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional design and selected 41 respondents through purposive sampling. Family support was assessed using the Sarason Social Support Questionnaire, while anxiety levels were measured with The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Statistical analysis utilized the Spearman-Rho correlation.  Results: The majority of breast cancer patients in the sample exhibited low levels of family support (n=22, 53.7%). On average, respondents reported an anxiety score of 80.78. The analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between family support and anxiety in breast cancer patients (p = 0.04), with a correlation coefficient of -0.316. Conclusions: These findings emphasize the importance of enhancing the quality of service in the treatment room and initiating early detection of patients experiencing psychosocial issues. Additionally, involving families in the therapy implementation process may prove beneficial. Nurses play a crucial role in addressing these aspects to better support patients throughout their breast cancer journey.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels resulting from unstable blood sugar levels in diabetics. DM can not only be treated with pharmacological therapy but also requires non-pharmacological therapy, one of which is self-management. Objective: to determine the relationship between the level of self-management and blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This research employed a cross-sectional design with 35 respondents selected through an accidental sampling technique. Data collection involved using the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire and a Glucometer. The data were then analyzed using the Spearman Rank Test.  Results: The data analysis revealed that 62.9% of patients with Type 2 DM experienced self-management in the medium category, and 88.6% had blood sugar levels in the high category. Based on the analysis results, a p-value of 0.180 was obtained, indicating that there is no relationship between self-management and blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The correlation coefficient of -0.232 indicated a low correlation strength, and as the correlation coefficient is negative, the relationship between the two variables is not in the same direction. Conclusions: It is evident that need more investigation of self-management practices to achieve stable or normal blood sugar levels. Improving self-management is crucial as it can help prevent complications associated with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Test anxiety is defined as an individual’s response to stimuli associated with their experiences in testing or evaluative situations. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between test anxiety and the academic performance of nursing college students. Methods: We conducted a descriptive correlational study, selecting a sample of 98 nursing students through convenient sampling at a selected nursing college in Kerala, India. Data were collected using various tools, including a background variable proforma, a proforma for evaluating the academic achievement of nursing students, and the Westside Test Anxiety Scale.  Results: Our findings revealed a statistically significant negative correlation (r=-0.4) between test anxiety and academic performance (p<0.05). This suggests that reducing test anxiety can lead to an improvement in academic performance. Conclusions: There is a need to plan psychological interventions aimed at reducing test anxiety and enhancing the academic performance of students. These interventions should be integrated at the policy level of academic performance management.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among all cancers. Most breast cancer treatments involve surgery, which leads to changes in body shape. These changes can have an impact on body image after mastectomy, affecting the patients’ quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to explore the perception of body image of breast cancer patient after mastectomy. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed in this study. A total of 15 post-mastectomy clients were recruited through purposive sampling technique. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews, which were recorded. The data were analyzed using the Van Mannen approach with the assistance of NVivo 12 Plus software.  Results: The majority of the participants were in the elderly phase, with an average education level of junior high school. Most had a history of stage IIB breast cancer and, on average, had undergone mastectomy three years ago. This study identified the theme of body image, which consisted of four categories and eleven sub-categories. Conclusions: The description of body image in post-mastectomy clients includes beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This response is influenced by the belief in the importance of breasts, optimism regarding achieving one’s ideal self, thoughts about changes in the body, acceptance of oneself and those around us, enthusiasm for healing and comfort, and social roles.
