Abstract

Background: Schizophrenia stands out as a prominent type of psychosis among various mental disorders. Auditory hallucinations, a prevailing symptom, particularly affect patients with primary psychotic disorders, showcasing a lifetime prevalence rate of 60-80% within the spectrum of schizophrenia disorders. Objective: This case study presents data and insights concerning the management of nursing challenges linked to auditory hallucinations. Case: A 17-year-old male was admitted to the psychiatric hospital after being involved in a violent incident with his family. He contended that he was compelled by an external entity to carry out this act. When in his room, the patient exhibits pronounced hallucinatory behavior, including tangential thinking, inability to concentrate during conversations, physically covering his ears in fear, and restless pacing, occasionally attempting to conceal himself under the bed. The nurse employs intervention strategies to address the client’s hallucinations, incorporating methods to gain control over them. These strategies involve encouraging breaks, fostering engagement in positive activities, closely monitoring the patient, and providing education on consistent medication adherence. Conclusions: After a nine-day period of effectively managing the hallucinations, the patient gains substantial control over them, thereby leading to the resolution of his hallucinatory issues. This research holds potential as a valuable resource for psychiatric nurses in devising interventions within psychiatric hospital settings. Furthermore, it can serve as a foundational component for the evaluation of psychiatric facilities in their provision of effective interventions for patients with psychiatric conditions

Abstract

Background: Patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) require complex intensive care, and family involvement plays an essential role in achieving patient recovery. Family-centered care in the intensive care unit (ICU) benefits patients, families, and healthcare workers. Objective: This case study aimed to evaluate the family-centered care approach for patients with MODS in the ICU. Case: A 46-year-old male patient with MODS presented various problems, including the risk of respiratory infections, impaired renal perfusion, and pressure sores. An interview with the patient’s family revealed that they felt guilty, worried, and lacked sufficient information about the patient’s condition. The interventions provided to the family included giving them information about the patient’s condition, care plans, and evaluation results after procedures, providing spiritual guidance, offering family support, and involving them in the patient’s required procedures.  Conclusion: After the patient had been admitted for two days, there was an improvement in the patient’s outcomes. Simultaneously, the patient’s family experienced a sense of calmness and increased satisfaction with the provided health services. To facilitate the implementation of family-centered care in the ICU, it is crucial to further develop hospital policies. Moreover, achieving successful family-centered care necessitates the support and cooperation of the medical staff.

Abstract

Human sexuality, a fundamental aspect of overall health and well-being, persists throughout all stages of the human lifecycle, including advanced age. Research demonstrates that a significant number of older adults maintain interest in sexual activity and continue to be sexually active during their later years. Nurses and healthcare providers must learn to understand the intricate interplay of psychological and physical influences leading to sexual difficulties among older individuals. Such knowledge is critical when providing effective assistance to older adults grappling with sexuality-related concerns. Given that the over 65 population accesses healthcare services frequently, healthcare professionals serve as pivotal intermediaries in addressing sexual issues. Nevertheless, medical personnel often feel uncomfortable and unsure about initiating conversations about sexuality among this population. This paper explores the reasons underlying the common tendency among healthcare professionals to avoid such discussions and suggests strategies to ameliorate this situation.

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is defined by repeated episodes of partial or complete upper airway collapse, obstructing breathing during sleep. OSA is a dangerous health condition with high mortality and morbidity. Due to the rising prevalence of obesity, OSA is on the rise in developing countries. Nevertheless, the exact number of OSA prevalence among Indonesian people is unrecognized for several reasons; for instance, low awareness of sleep disorder issues, unawareness of the symptoms and impact of OSA, limited access to polysomnography examinations, and considering snoring as a common condition. Long-term health effects, decreased sleep quality, psychological issues, and cognitive impairment are all linked to untreated OSA. Nurses can contribute to the management of OSA by conducting screening and assessment, providing health promotion to patients, and coordinating with other healthcare providers. This paper explores the prevalence of OSA, society’s perception of OSA, diagnostic or screening procedures, and treatment options for the effective management of OSA.
