Get PDFABSTRACT
Background: Medical emergencies are common but Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) incidences are rare; yet when they occur could be life threatening leading either to disability or death. During SCA incidents, health care professionals will be required to act skilfully and swiftly to restart the heart and stabilise the patient until advanced care can be accessed or provided. There is evidence that victims of cardio and/or respiratory arrest whilst in the hospital will have improved outcomes if Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is initiated within three to five minutes. The objectives of this study were to find if emergency nurses were adequately resourced to practice Basic Life Support (BLS), and the ease or difficulties with which they practice BLS.
Methods: This Qualitative Descriptive (QD) study was conducted at the University of Cape Coast Hospital (UCCH) between June and September 2019. Six nurses were purposively recruited for the study. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcription was done with Microsoft Word and transferred to Microsoft Excel for thematic analysis using an inductive descriptive approach. Data analysis took a conventional qualitative content analysis approach.
Results: Four of the participants were females whilst two were males. During data aggregation and analysis, 17 first-level codes were extracted from which two themes, five categories and six subcategories were obtained for discussion. The major themes were: (1) Basic Life Support (BLS) equipment and material resources, and (2) working environment and human resource.
Conclusion: The study found that nurses working at emergency ward at UCCH were adequately resourced and well prepared to practice BLS. They however had challenges as their work seem to be hindered by patients who present to the ward without emergency needs and unavailability of emergency drugs

This study aims to determine the effect of dhikr therapy on muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients
Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental research design with pre-and post-test with control group. Non-probability sampling was used to determine the sample, which consisted of 54 respondents: 27 in the treatment group with ROM therapy, dhikr and 27 in the control group with ROM therapy. Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) Instrument is used to measure muscle strength. The data were analyzed using an independent T-test
Results: There is an effect of dhikr therapy on muscle strength after implementing the therapy in the intervention and control groups with a p-value of the right upper extremity of 0.000, p-value of the left upper extremity of 0.008, p-value of the right lower extremity of 0.007 and p-value of the left lower extremity of 0.007
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that dhikr therapy can improve muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients at the Sibela Community Health Center of Surakart

Hypnoanalgesia was performed using hypnosis recordings/audio while pain level was measured using a numerical pain scale of 0 to 10. Data analysis used an independent t-test. The effect of the treatment was seen from the difference in the level of pain before and after being given treatment.
Result: Subjects experienced a significant decrease in mean pain in the treatment group from a mean of 4.95, SD = 0.67 before treatment to a mean of 0.13, SD = 0.34 after treatment, effect size 0.97 using Cohen\u27s formula and statistically significant (p = 0.000) which means the administration of audiohypnoanalgesia has a positive effect on reducing pain levels.
Conclusion: Hypnoanalgesia audio therapy can be used to minimize patient pain during wound care
