Rebozo technique to decrease pain intensity and length of labor
No full textBackground: Pain and length of labor impact the mother physically and psychologically. Both of these factors must be minimized to avoid complications during labor. In Indonesia, the rebozo technique is still rarely performed by health workers such as midwives, especially in West Sumatra.Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of the rebozo technique on reducing pain intensity and duration of labor in primiparas.Method: This is a quasi-experimental study with a two-group design. Sixty primiparous mothers were randomly divided into two groups (intervention and control groups). The intervention group received the rebozo technique, and the control group received standard treatment. The pain intensity and duration of labor were observed throughout the study. Data analysis used the independent t-test.Results: The study showed that the average pain intensity in the intervention group was lower than the control group (6.423 vs 7.562, p <0.05). The average duration of labor was faster in the intervention group than in the control group (3.643 vs 4.815, p <0.0001).Conclusion: The rebozo technique is effective in reducing pain and accelerating labor
Butterfly hug therapy on reducing anxiety levels and stabilization hemodynamics in patient digital subtraction angiography
No full textBackground: Digital subtraction angiography can affect anxiety in patients so that it can worsen the patient's condition during catheterization, such as increased heart rate and breathing. One of the efforts to reduce anxiety that can improve hemodynamics is butterfly hug therapy. However, its effectiveness in reducing hemodynamic anxiety needs to be further investigated.Purpose: To evaluate butterfly hug therapy's effectiveness on anxiety and hemodynamics before digital subtraction angiography.Methods: This is a quasi-experiment study with a pretest-posttest control group design. Fifty-two respondents were selected using purposive sampling. A total of 26 respondents were given butterfly hug therapy, and 26 others were given standard therapy. The study implemented the Zung Self Rating Anxiety Scale Questionnaire and observation sheet. This research analysis uses the Independent T-test and Wilcoxon Test.Results: The anxiety level of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (46.73 ± 2.08 vs. 53.84 ± 1.74; p<0.05). In hemodynamic stability (pulse, respiratory, and blood pressure) was stability than the control group (80.69 ± 2.44 vs. 89.11 ± 2.39; 20.65 ± 0.39 vs. 21.0 ± 0.53; 104.7 ± 1.46 vs. 109.5 ± 1.82; p <0.05).Conclusion: Butterfly hug therapy is effective in reducing anxiety and stabilizing hemodynamics among patients undergoing digital subtraction angiography
Correlation of CD4+ levels and caspase-3 in condyloma acuminata with HIV reactive patients
No full textBackground: Human papillomavirus is an infection that causes malignancy because of persistency and modulation of apoptotic pathways, especially caspase-3. Factors that can increase persistency, recurrency, and malignancy of HPV infection include HIV infection with low CD4 levels. There is disagreement or deep molecular understanding of the induction and modulation of apoptosis in HIV-mediated CD4+ T cell depletion, especially in CA. However, it is necessary to see how CD4+ levels can influence caspase-3, so it may open up new avenues for supporting investigation to consider the presence of malignancy or therapeutic strategies regarding CD4+ can induce apoptosis.Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between CD4+ levels and caspase-3 expression in condyloma acuminata with HIV reactive patients.Methods: This is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital from August to December 2023. Nineteen patients with condyloma acuminata and HIV reactive were included in this study with a consecutive sampling technique. The expression of caspase-3 was assessed using immunohistochemical staining, looking at the percentage of stained cell nuclei and cytoplasm and CD4+ levels with flow cytometry examination—data analysis using Pearson correlation.Results: Respondents in this study were primarily men, self-employed with heterosexual orientation and genito-genital-oral sexual intercourse. The statistical analysis showed no significant relationship (p: 0.300, r: -0.251) between CD4+ levels and caspase-3 expression.Conclusions: While not statistically significant, CD4+ level is reduced in correlation with increased caspase-3 expressions
An innovative support pillow for diabetic foot wound care
No full textBackground: Treating diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) sometimes takes a long time. During treatment, the patient's feet are usually given a cushion (such as a sleeping pillow or bolster) to make the wound seen.

The test results showed that the score for comfort for the patients was 92%, while the score from the nurse was 88%.Conclusion:The pillow product helps the nurse conduct the DFU treatment and is comfortable for the patients.
A situational analysis of model holistic-comprehensive and integrated approaches to handling stunting in Buleleng Regency, Bali, Indonesia
No full textBackground: Policies and strategies for handling stunting cases effectively and efficiently vary in different regions, depending on their situation and conditions. There has yet to be an empirical study of stunting management with a holistic-comprehensive and integrated approach in Indonesia, especially in Buleleng Regency, Bali. Thus, conducting initial research to analyze the policy and determine the right stunting management strategy to implement is essential.Purpose: This study aims to map stunting cases, explore their causal factors, analyze the suitable policy model for overcoming stunting and describe the effective and efficient stunting management strategy in Buleleng Regency based on a holistic, comprehensive, and integrated approach.Methods: This is a situation analysis case study. Respondents were stunted children and related governmental agencies in Buleleng Regency, Bali. The incidence of stunting, risk factors suspected as the cause, policy models and appropriate stunting handling strategies were analyzed in depth using qualitative and quantitative methods.Results: There were 1040 cases of stunting in the regency, with the highest cases in Banjar District. Significant risk factors influencing the stunting incidence in the region include the lack of good complementary feeding (OR: 2.6722; p <0.05) and low family income (OR: 7.6667; p <0.0001). The results of the analysis of stunting handling policies, based on a holistic-comprehensive and integrated approach model by regional needs, are categorized into two policy areas: Policies in the Medical and Non-Medical fields. In contrast, the handling strategy is divided into two stages: the screening and the handling stages.Conclusion: Poor-quality complementary foods and low family income are the main risk factors for high stunting rates in Buleleng Regency, Bali. These factors must be considered in an effective and efficient policy and strategy model for handling stunting cases in the regency
