ABSTRACTBackground: Hypertension is one of the most common diseases, because this disease is suffered byboth men and women, as well as adults and young people. Treatment of hypertension does not onlyrely on medications from the doctor or regulate diet alone, but it is also important to make our bodyalways relaxed. Laughter can help to control blood pressure by reducing endocrine stress andcreating a relaxed condition to deal with relaxation.Objective: The general objective of the study was to determine the effect of laughter therapy ondecreasing elderly blood pressure in UPT Panti Wredha Budhi Dharma Yogyakarta.Methods: The design used in this study is a pre-experimental design study with one group pre-posttestresearch design where there is no control group (comparison). The population in this study wereelderly aged over> 60 years at 55 UPT Panti Wredha Budhi Dharma Yogyakarta. The method oftaking in this study uses total sampling. The sample in this study were 55 elderly. Data analysis wasused to determine the difference in blood pressure before and after laughing therapy with a ratio datascale that was using Pairs T-TestResult: There is an effect of laughing therapy on blood pressure in the elderly at UPT Panti WredhaBudhi Dharma Yogyakarta marked with a significant value of 0.000 (P <0.05)

Salah satu stressor utama yang terjadi pada anak saat hospitalisasi adalah nyeri yang juga dapat menimbulkan trauma. Tindakan pemasangan Intravena Fluid Drip (IVFD) yang dilakukan pada anak yang dihospitalisasi dapat menimbulkan nyeri akibat cedera jaringan tubuh (kulit). Teknik distraksi audio merupakan tindakan yang dirasa tepat untuk mengurangi nyeri yang ditimbulkan. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh teknik distraksi audio terhadap penurunan skala nyeri pemasangan IVFD pada anak prasekolah.Desain penelitian ini adalah pre experimental designwithstatic group comparison dengan menggunakan analisa data uji t tidak berpasangan. Sampel pada penelitian ini berjumlah 32 orang anak prasekolah yang dilakukan pemasangan IVFD dengan metode non probability sampling dengan teknik purposive sampling. Pengukuran skala nyeri menggunakan observasi Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, and Consolability Scale (FLACC Scale).Hasil penelitian didapatkan perbedaan nilai rata-rata skala nyeri antara kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol dengan p value = 0,001 (p < α 0,05). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh teknik distraksi audio terhadap penurunan skala nyeri saat pemasangan IVFD pada anak prasekolah di RSUD Dr. H. Ibnu Sutowo Baturaja. Perawat sebaiknya menerapkan pemberian teknik distraksi audio dalam standar operasional prosedur pemasangan IVFD sebagai salah satu terapi nonfarmakologi pada anak prasekolah yang akan dilakukan pemasangan IVFD.

The research aimed at investigating the effect of giving counterpressure technique to decrease the intensity of pain in the first stage of labor in the delivery room of RSUD Sawerigading Palopo. This study was conducted in a preexperimental manner with static group comparison design, in subject static group comparison design divided into two groups, where the treatment group was followed by observation and observation result compared with the observation result in the control group which only received standard treatment. Data were analyzed using T test. Where t value hit 6.971> t table 2.05, so it can be concluded that the results obtained mean that there is influence of counterpressure technique is big enough to decrease the intensity of labor pain.

Randomized Control

Background: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is associated with oxidative stress and tissue damage. Vitamin C, as an antioxidant agent, has an important role in attenuating the oxidative stress damage and might have cardio-protective effects after CABG. We aimed to evaluate the probable roles of vitamin C supplementation in cardiac biomarkers after CABG. Methods:: In this randomized control trial, 122 patients undergoing CABG were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=54) and control group (n=68) and received vitamin C (2 g intravenously) or placebo, respectively. The surgical methods of the patients in the two groups were identical. The primary efficacy endpoint of this trial is the difference in the levels of CK-MB, Troponin and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) were measured at study entry and 24 hrs after surgery between the two groups. Results:: The two groups were not significantly different in terms of basic variables. Within-group comparison showed significant rises in the level of troponin (P < 0.001) and CK-MB (P < 0.001) over time. However, between-group comparison showed no significant difference between the two groups in terms of CK-MB (P=0.826) and troponin (P=0.821). As a whole, the correlation between cardiac enzymes and surgical characteristic was not seen. Conclusion:: The results showed that pretreatment with vitamin C could not reduce cardiac marker following CABG. After the intervention, TAC did not differ between and within the intervention and the control groups. Pretreatment with vitamin C as an antioxidant agent could not reduce ischemicreperfusion resulting in CABG.
