ABSTRAKPerawat yang bekerja di unit gawat darurat (UGD) harus memiliki sikap, ketrampilan dan kemampuan untuk mengatur kemampuan fungsional dalam berbagai kondisi. Perawat harus mampu memprioritaskan perawatan pasien atas dasar pengambilan keputusan klinis dimana keterampilan penting bagi perawat dalam penilaian awal. Untuk mendukung hal tersebut diperlukan pengetahuan, sikap dan ketrampilan dalam hal pemisahan jenis dan kegawatan pasien dalam triage, sehingga dalam penanganan pasien bisa lebih optimal dan terarah. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui hubungan sikap dan pengetahuan perawat dalam pelaksanaan triage di UGD RSUD Wonosari. Penelitian ini menggunakan survei analitik korelasi dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi penelitian berjumlah 15 perawat yang bekerja di ruang gawat darurat, dengan metode pengambilan sampel secara total sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuisioner, metode analisa data menggunakan uji spearman rank dan regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian tidak terdapat hubungan antara sikap dengan pelaksanaan triage di UGD RSUD Wonosari, hal ini ditunjukkan dari hasil uji Spearman rank dengan nilai sig 0,354>p-value 0,05. Terdapat hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan pelaksanaan triage di UGD RSUD Wonosari. Hal ini ditunjukkan dari nilai rank spearman 0,004 < p-value 0,05. Sehingga pelaksanaan triage dipengaruhi faktor lain yang tidak terangkum dalam analisis ini. Kesimpulan tidak ada hubungan antara sikap dengan pelaksanaan triage di UGD RSUD Wonosari. Ada hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan pelaksanaan triage di UGD RSUD Wonosari.Kata Kunci: sikap, pengetahuan, pelaksanaan triageNURSE’S ATTITUDE AND KNOWLEDGE RELATED WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF TRIAGEABSTRACTNurses working in emergency units must have the attitude, skills and ability to organize functional abilities under various conditions. Nurses should be able to prioritize patient care on the basis of clinical decision-making where skills are important to nurses in the initial assessment. To support it requires knowledge, attitude and skills in terms of separation of types and gravity of patients in triage, so that in the handling of patients can be more optimal and directed. The purpose of this research is to know the relationship of attitude and knowledge of nurses in the implementation of triage in emergency units Wonosari Hospital. This research uses analytic correlation survey with cross sectional approach. The study population was 15 nurses working in the emergency room, with sampling method in total sampling. The research instrument is questionnaire, data analysis method using spearman rank test and multiple linear regression. The result of this research shows that there is no correlation between attitude with triage implementation in emergency units Wonosari Hospital, it is shown from Spearman rank test with sig value 0,354> p-value 0,05. There is a relationship between knowledge with triage implementation at Wonosari Hospital emergency department. It is shown from spearman rank value 0,004 <p-value 0,05. So the implementation of triage is influenced by other factors not summarized in this analysis. Conclusion there is no relation between attitude with triage implementation in Wonosari Hospital emergency department. There is a relationship between knowledge with triage implementation in emergency units Wonosari Hospital.Keywords: attitude, knowledge, implementation of triage

Background. Adequate pain management has led to increased comfort in emergency patients, reducing morbidity and improving long term outcomes. Different pain management modalities have been applied in the emergency department among which systemic analgesia is commonly used by preceding a nerve block. Several factors have been associated with poor pain management in low resource setting areas. We aimed to determine pain management modalities and associated factors among emergency surgical patients. Patients and Methods. After obtaining ethical approval from Ethical Review Committee, 203 volunteer patients were enrolled. Institutional based cross-sectional prospective study was conducted from April to May 2018 in Gondar University Specialized Hospital Emergency Department. The severity of pain was measured through Numerical Rating Scale and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS statistical package version 23. Descriptive statistics cross-tab and binary logistics were performed to identify factors related to pain management in emergency department. Results. A total of 203 patients, 138 (68%) males and 65 (32%) females with response rate of 94%, participated in this study. Among them, 66% patients received analgesia within two hours of ED presentation with a mean ± SD of 61.0 ± 34.1 minutes. 70.4 % of patients complained of moderate and severe pain after receiving analgesia. There was a significant difference between trauma and nontrauma patients in mean time of analgesia receiving and residual pain severity (p < 0.001). Age, trauma, physician pain assessment, and severity of pain were the predicting factors for analgesia delivery. Conclusion. The overall practice of pain management in Gondar University Specialized Hospital Emergency Department was not adequate. Therefore, it is vital to implement an objective pain assessment method and documentation of the pain severity to improve pain management practice.

BACKGROUND: Despite evidence supporting the role of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in diverse populations, few publications describe how NIV is used in clinical practice.OBJECTIVE: To describe NIV initiation in a teaching hospital that has a guideline, and to characterize temporal changes in NIV initiation over time.METHODS: A prospective, observational study of continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (CPAP) or bilevel NIV initiation from January 2000 to December 2005 was conducted. Registered respiratory therapists completed a one-page data collection form at NIV initiation.RESULTS: Over a six-year period, NIV was initiated in 623 unique patients (531 bilevel NIV, 92 CPAP). Compared with bilevel NIV, CPAP was initiated more often using a nasal interface, with a machine owned by the patient, and for chronic conditions, especially obstructive sleep apnea. Whereas CPAP was frequently initiated and continued on the wards, bilevel NIV was most frequently initiated and continued in the emergency department, intensive care unit and the coronary care unit. Patients initiated on bilevel NIV were more likely to be female (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.08 to 2.85; P=0.02) and to have an acute indication compared with CPAP initiations (OR 7.5, 95% CI 1.61 to 34.41; P=0.01). Bilevel NIV was initiated more often in the emergency department than in the intensive care unit (OR 5.8, 95% CI 0.89 to 38.17; P=0.07). Bilevel NIV initiation increased from 2000 to 2005.CONCLUSIONS: The present study illustrates how NIV is used in clinical practice and confirms that NIV initiation has increased over time.

Nosocomial Sepsis

Introduction: Nosocomial sepsis is a common and serious infection of neonates who are admitted in intensive care unit. They lead to significant morbidity and mortality in both developed and resource limited countries. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a suitable environment for disseminating the infections and, hence, needs preventive intervention. The study was carried out to determine the risk factors for nosocomial sepsis in neonatal intensive care unit. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in a seven bedded teaching and referral hospital NICU. All neonates in NICU who did not have any sign of infection at admission and remained hospitalized for at least 48 hours were observed. Nosocomial sepsis was diagnosed according to the CDC criteria. Risk factors for nosocomial sepsis were analyzed with Chi-square test and Logistic regression model. P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Low birth weight (both preterm and IUGR) and mechanical ventilation were found to be related with nosocomial sepsis. Conclusions: Low birth weight and mechanical ventilation were the most important risk factors fornosocomial sepsis.
