Introduction: Febrile neutropenia have a high morbidity and mortality impact for the patient. The mortality rate of febrile neutropenia in 2002 was 38.8%, while it was 27.3% in 2009. The difference in mortality rates could be caused by several factors such as availability of the Neutropenic Fever Management Guidelines in 2006, in addition to infrastructure, human resources and equipment. This study aims to determine the role of guideline availibility and other factors to cancer mortality rate in the immunocompromised isolation room of Dharmais Hospital. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional retrospective study which investigate mortality rates and compare with adherence to febrile neutropenia guidelines for the period 2008-2012. Data were taken from the patient's medical record file, and then analysed using univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: The mortality rate in the period 2008-2012 was 20.7%. The correlation between age, sex, and degree of risk factor on mortality was not significantly different (p=0,409, p=0,404, and p=0,324). The proportion of deaths was higher in patients borne by third parties (26.8%) than in the case of personal (10%) although not statistically significant (p=0,065). From the three types of adherence, only one had a significant effect of adherence to treatment flow (p=0,033). Conclusions: The availibility of management guideline can reduce mortality rate of febrile neutropenia even though from the three types of adherence, only one had a significant effect of adherence to treatment flow (p=0,033).

Introduction: The supervision model commonly applied in nursing is the 4S model, namely the Structure, Skill, Support and Sustainability (4S) stages. This supervision model can be applied by the head of the room and the head of the shift as a supervisor in overseeing the implementation of Islamic spiritual nursing care in adult inpatient rooms. Purpose: to analyze the relationship between the role of the 4S supervisor model and the implementation of Islamic spiritual nursing care in adult inpatient rooms. Methods: the study used a cross sectional method. The sampling technique with a proportionate stratified random sampling was 62 nurses. Data analysis used univariate, bivariate analysis with Spearman test, and multivariate with logistic regression. Results: showed the role of the 4S supervisor model was good (88.7%), the implementation of Islamic nursing care was good category (52%), there was a relationship between the role of model supervision 4S with the implementation of Islamic spiritual care, with a significance value of <0.0001 and the strongest relationship between the 4S model and the implementation of Islamic spiritual care is the variable skill and sustainability, seen from the significance value for skills of 0.05 (Pvalue ≤0.05), and sustainability of 0.01 (Pvalue ≤0.05). The strength of the relationship is seen based on the OR [EXP {B}] value, respectively, skill (0.194) and sustainability (0.109). Discussion: The probability of nurses implementing Islamic nursing care well is 90% if they provide Islamic spiritual nursing care skills and continuous supervision by the hospital supervisor.

Background and purpose: The Indonesian Demographic Health Survey of 2012 indicated that the prevalence of contraceptive use in Bali Province has decreased compared to 2007. In addition, the proportion of the use an intrauterine device (IUD) also continues to decline. To increase number of IUD acceptors is to promote post-placental intrauterine device (PPIUCD), however the acceptance remains low. This study aims to determine factors associated with acceptance of post-placental intrauterine device in Denpasar.Methods: Study was cross sectional with a total of 100 respondents selected by consecutive sampling. Respondents were mothers who had gave birth in January-February 2016 at Wangaya General Hospital and three health centers (Dauh Puri Sub Health Center, East Denpasar I and South Denpasar IV). Data were collected by interview in hospital and health center. Chi square test was conducted for bivariate analysis and multivariate using logistic regression.Results: Proportion of PPIUCD acceptance was 35%. Multivariate analysis indicated that PPIUCD acceptance was associated with perception of benefits (AOR=10.39; 95% CI: 2.792-38.56), perception of low side effects (AOR=5.288; 95%CI: 1.085-25.761), role of health workers (AOR=7.1; 95%CI: 1.781-28.60) and support of the husband (AOR=12.020; 95% CI=2.888-50.01).Conclusion: Variables associated with PPIUCD acceptance were perception of low side effects, perception of benefits, role of health workers and husband support.

Object The well-known predictors for increased early deaths after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) include the clinical and radiological severity of bleeding as well as being on a warfarin regimen at the onset of stroke. Ischemic heart disease and atrial fibrillation may also increase early deaths. In the present study the authors aimed to elucidate the role of the last 2 factors. Methods The authors assessed the 3-month mortality rate in patients with spontaneous ICH (453 individuals) who were admitted to the stroke unit of Oulu University Hospital within a period of 11 years (1993–2004). Results The 3-month mortality rate for the 453 patients was 28%. The corresponding mortality rates were 42% for the patients who had ischemic heart disease and 61% for those with atrial fibrillation on admission. The following independent predictors of death emerged after adjustment for sex and the use of warfarin or aspirin at the onset of ICH: 1) ischemic heart disease (hazard ratio [HR] 1.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12–2.48, p < 0.02); 2) atrial fibrillation on admission (HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.12–2.86, p < 0.02); 3) the Glasgow Coma Scale score on admission (HR 0.82 per unit, 95% CI 0.79–0.87, p < 0.01); 4) size of hematoma (HR 1.11 per 10 ml, 95% CI 1.07–1.16, p < 0.01); 5) intraventricular hemorrhage (HR 2.62, 95% CI 1.71–4.02, p < 0.01); 6) age (HR 1.04 per year, 95% CI 1.02–1.06, p < 0.01); and 7) infratentorial location of the hematoma (HR 1.93, 95% CI 1.26–2.97, p < 0.01). Conclusions Both ischemic heart disease and atrial fibrillation independently and significantly impaired the 3-month survival of patients with ICH.

e19548 Background: Febrile neutropenia is one of the oncology emergencies, which usually should be timely assessed and treated at the hospital. In some areas of Japan, however, medical resources are limited in especially nights and holidays. In Hyogo Cancer Center department of medical oncology, majority of pts have breast and gynecologic (GYN) malignant disease, those who are relatively young and without COPD. These pts may be managed by a self -assessment system of FN, although the feasibility is still unknown. Methods: Self assessment system consists of three steps, such as, prescription of Ciprofloxacin 1200mg b.i.d., educating pts by the team (doctors, pharmacists, and nurses) with written material, and evaluation at the hospital if febrile episode (FE) continues for longer than 48 hours. FE is defined as body temperature higher than 38 °C. Frequency of FE, admission to the hospital, ICU stay, and 30 days mortality rate were assessed retrospectively. Results: From Aug. 2006 to Oct. 2011, 476 pts were treated in ambulatory chemotherapy center under self-assessment system. Median age was 58 years old (range; 17 - 82), 87 % of them were under 60 years old. Literacy rate was 100 %. All had solid tumors, 75 % of them had breast (n= 157) or GYN (ovary and primary peritoneal cancer; n = 155, cervix; n = 40, corpus; n = 4) malignancy. Platinum based regimens (n = 184) and anthracycline based regimens (n = 131) were dominant. FE occurred in 159 pts (33.4%). Forty three pts (9%) were admitted to the hospital. Two pts were admitted to ICU. 30 days mortality rate was 0 %. The median MASCC score of admitted pts was 21 (range; 14 - 21). About half (47 %) had high risk score (< 20). Conclusions: In areas with limited resources, self assessment of FN can be an alternative option, although that should be applied to young and literate pts educated by skilled medical team.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical condition in which the lungs suffer severe irreversible, large-scale damage causing a grievous form of hypoxemic respiratory failure. Acute respiratory distress syndrome is one of the most evasive diagnosis confronted in the Intensive care unit (ICU) as the name, definition and diagnostic standards have adapted over the past four decades. An ARDS diagnosis is established by physiological criteria and continues to be a diagnosis of exclusion, which makes it crucial that medical professionals expand their knowledge base to effectively diagnose ARDS. Patients admitted with ARDS have high mortality rates ranging from 40 to 60 percent. High-level quality supportive care continues to be the sole option for ARDS treatment. Even with improved supportive care, however, ARDS prognosis is still poor. Extended prone positioning (PP) has been shown to increase alveolar recruitment end expiratory lung volume, thereby improving oxygenation and survival. Unfortunately, few studies have examined the association of mortality and prone positioning in ARDS. A systematic review was conducted to examine the following research question: Does prone positioning compared to supine positioning in patients with ARDS decrease mortality rates? This systematic review was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP). A literature review was performed and data were collected from each study. A cross study analysis was performed and PP was found to reduce mortality rate in patients who were severely hypoxic. The reviewed studies demonstrated that incorporating early and longer periods of PP may improve mortality in ARDS patients, but further research is needed.

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia is around 90% at the time of delivery. in Indonesia until 2018 the Maternal Mortality Rate is still high at 305 per 1000 live births[1]. This is caused by postpartum bleeding due to several factors such as uterine atony and perineal rupture. The research objective was to determine the relationship between birth weight of infants and perineal rupture in Primipara at Japara Public Health Center, Kuningan Regency in 2019. The research method was analytic with a cross sectional approach, sampling with a total sampling technique with a total of 52 mothers giving birth. The instrument used was a checklist sheet and the analysis used Spearman Rank. Based on the results of the univariate analysis study, most mothers gave birth to babies with normal birth weight, namely around 59.6%, while most of the mothers experienced perineal rupture, namely around 51.9%. The results of the bivariate analysis showed a value (p = 0.09), this indicated that there was a significant relationship between birth weight of infants and perineal rupture in mothers who gave birth. It was concluded that there was a significant relationship between birth weight of infants and perineal rupture in mothers who gave birth. It is hoped that midwives will always carry out labor management in accordance with the standards of normal delivery care when giving birth and teach pregnant women how to massage the perineum.
