Bronchopneumonia is more common in young children and infants and is usually caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumonia and Hemofilus influenza. The aim of this study is to determine the nursing care and appropriate intervention for patients with a diagnosis of bronchopneumonia. The design of this research is a case study with a nursing process approach. The sample in this study was a child with the initials "A.". The research was carried out at the Flamboyan Kleas 3A RSUD Batara Siang nursing room in Pangkep district in 2023. Data collection is done through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The research instrument uses the form of childcare foster care. The approach to the nursing process carried out by the researchers includes phases: the investigation of the researcher in collecting data, both from the patient and the patient's family and from the health care provider; performing nurses' diagnoses; nursed interventions; and implementation and evaluation of the nursery. The results of the evaluation in patients with Bronchopneumonia with a nursing diagnosis were: ineffective breathing patterns associated with depression of the respiratory center and inefficient breathing pathway cleanliness related to obstruction of the airway that occurred over three days as a whole. The conclusions obtained indicate the evolution of the patient's condition before and after the implementation.

Lisnawati Lisnawati — 2024-07-30

Cupping therapy is a complementary treatment option that can be administered to individuals suffering from Low Back Pain (LBP), a condition that continues to see a rise in its prevalence year after year. LBP is frequently experienced by office professionals who spend extended periods working in a seated position, which can lead to reduced productivity and a decline in overall health. The objective of this research was to assess the impact of cupping therapy on LBP among lecturers at Mandala Waluya University. This research entails a quantitative approach, employing a quasi-experimental one-group pre and post-test design. The research population comprises all lecturers at Mandala Waluya University, totaling 166 individuals, with a sample size of 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling techniques, as determined by the Lameshow formula. The study's findings indicate that 80.8% of the total sample of Mandala Waluya University lecturers between the ages of 30-40 years suffer from LBP. Through paired t-test analysis, it was established that the phi value was 0.000, which is smaller than the alpha value. Consequently, cupping therapy has the capacity to alleviate pain in LBP patients by promoting muscle relaxation and stimulating the release of beta hormones, which, in turn, reduces pain. Cupping therapy demonstrates its effectiveness in alleviating LBP and enhancing the daily functioning of lecturers at Mandala Waluya University.

Andi Mutiara Muthahharah — 2024-07-31

Hypertension is the main cause of premature death worldwide. Hypertension has become a global, regional, national, and local public health problem. The World Health Organization (2023) estimates that 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years worldwide suffer from hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension will continue to increase sharply. In 2025, it is predicted that around 29% of adults worldwide will suffer from hypertension. Hypertension has caused the deaths of around 8 million people each year. 1.5 million deaths occur in Southeast Asia, where one-third of the population suffers from hypertension (WHO, 2011). Hypertension requires proper self-management and health literacy in handling it. .Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between health literacy and hypertension management behavior in the hypertension group in the Pacellekang Health Center work area, Gowa Regency. Methods: This research was conducted in the working area of Pacellekang Health Center, Pattallassang District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi Province on June 21 – July 21, 2023. Correlational anality descriptive research design using a cross-sectional study approach. The population in this study was 165 people. Sampling technique using non-probability sampling with purposive sampling technique. The sample obtained is 128 people. Data collection used the HELIA Questionnaire (Health Literacy Instrument for Adults) and the HBP-SCP Questionnaire (High Blood Pressure-Self Care Profile). The analysis tests used in this study were univariate and bivariate. The bivariate analysis in this study was by using the Chi-Square Test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had low health literacy with a percentage of 56.3% and the majority had poor hypertension management behavior with a percentage of 54.7%. The results of the bivariate test using the Chi-Square test with a significance value of 0.006 <0.05, so that the better a person's health literacy, the better his hypertension self-management behavior. The conclusion of this study is there is a significant relationship between health literacy and hypertension management behavior in the community in the Pacellekang Health Center work area, Gowa Regency.

EFFECT OF 30° HEAD LEVEL POSITION INTERVENTION IN A PATIENT WITH INEFECTIVE CEREBRAL PERFUSION: A CASE STUDY

Vica Cahya Ningrum — 2024-08-01

Meningitis is an infectious disease affecting the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, often presenting with fever, headache, and stiff neck. Effective nursing interventions are crucial for managing the symptoms and improving patient outcomes. This case study examines the impact of positioning a patient with ineffective cerebral perfusion in a 30° semi-Fowler position. The research adopts a case study design using a nursing process approach, which involves monitoring vital signs, respiratory status, neck stiffness, and administering pharmacological treatments in collaboration with healthcare providers. Significant improvements were observed following the intervention. By the fifth day, the patient's consciousness had improved to a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 15, indicating a state of compos mentis, with no confusion, headaches, or fever. These findings suggest that the 30° semi-Fowler position can effectively alleviate symptoms and improve cerebral perfusion in patients with meningitis. The analysis indicated a partial resolution of nursing problems, with plans to maintain the patient’s hemodynamic status and continue appropriate drug therapy for optimal recovery. The study highlights the importance of proper patient positioning and collaborative care in managing meningitis and improving patient outcomes
