Mental disorders are abnormal conditions that are either physical or mental. Out of these neuropsychiatric conditions are recorded patients with different nursing issues, one of which is violent behavior. Aggression is a form of behavior that is intended to harm someone physically and mentally to violent behavior patients. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is one of the therapies to address the problem of aggression in patients at risk for violent behavior, where EFT helps balance the energy in the body causing emotional disturbance. The purpose of this study was to find out the influence of EFT on the aggressiveness of patients' risk of violent behavior at West Java Provincial Hospital. The type of research used is pre-experiment with the design of One Group Pretest Posttest. The sample size was 19 with a purposive sampling technique. Data collection for aggression level using the Aggression Questionnaire, whereas for EFT implementation using EFT therapy implementation guide. EFT is performed for 5 days, 1 day for 7 minutes. Data were analyzed using the Paired T-test. The results showed that aggressiveness before EFT was nearly complete (89.5%) of high-risk patients with high levels of aggression, whereas aggressive levels after partial EFT (52.6%) of high-risk violence patients had high levels of aggression. The results showed p-value = 0.000 and it was concluded that there is an influence of the Emotional Freedom Technique on the level of aggression of patients at risk of violent behavior. Based on the results of this research it is recommended that the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can be an alternative therapy in helping to deal with issues of aggression.

PurposeTumor lysis syndrome (TLS) has recently been subclassified into either laboratory TLS or clinical TLS, and a grading system has been established. Standardized guidelines, however, are needed to aid in the stratification of patients according to risk and to establish prophylaxis and treatment recommendations for patients at risk or with established TLS.MethodsA panel of experts in pediatric and adult hematologic malignancies and TLS was assembled to develop recommendations and guidelines for TLS based on clinical evidence and standards of care. A review of relevant literature was also used.ResultsNew guidelines are presented regarding the prevention and management of patients at risk of developing TLS. The best management of TLS is prevention. Prevention strategies include hydration and prophylactic rasburicase in high-risk patients, hydration plus allopurinol or rasburicase for intermediate-risk patients, and close monitoring for low-risk patients. Primary management of established TLS involves similar recommendations, with the addition of aggressive hydration and diuresis, plus allopurinol or rasburicase for hyperuricemia. Alkalinization is not recommended. Although guidelines for rasburicase use in adults are provided, this agent is currently only approved for use in pediatric patients in the United States.ConclusionThe potential severity of complications resulting from TLS requires measures for prevention in high-risk patients and prompts treatment in the event that symptoms arise. Recognition of risk factors, monitoring of at-risk patients, and appropriate interventions are the key to preventing or managing TLS. These guidelines should assist in the prevention of TLS and improve the management of patients with established TLS.

ObjectivesPatients with indicators for palliative care, such as those with advanced life-limiting conditions, are at risk of futile cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if they suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Patients at risk of futile CPR could benefit from anticipatory care planning (ACP); however, the proportion of OHCA patients with indicators for palliative care is unknown. This study quantifies the extent of palliative care indicators and risk of CPR futility in OHCA patients.MethodsA retrospective medical record review was performed on all OHCA patients presenting to an emergency department (ED) in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2015. The risk of CPR futility was stratified using the Supportive and Palliative Care Indicators Tool. Patients with 0–2 indicators had a ‘low risk’ of futile CPR; 3–4 indicators had an ‘intermediate risk’; 5+ indicators had a ‘high risk’.ResultsOf the 283 OHCA patients, 12.4% (35) had a high risk of futile CPR, while 16.3% (46) had an intermediate risk and 71.4% (202) had a low risk. 84.0% (68) of intermediate-to-high risk patients were pronounced dead in the ED or ED step-down ward; only 2.5% (2) of these patients survived to discharge.ConclusionsUp to 30% of OHCA patients are being subjected to advanced resuscitation despite having at least three indicators for palliative care. More than 80% of patients with an intermediate-to-high risk of CPR futility are dying soon after conveyance to hospital, suggesting that ACP can benefit some OHCA patients. This study recommends optimising emergency treatment planning to help reduce inappropriate CPR attempts.

Abstract Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can be a severe and potentially life-threatening complication of ovarian stimulation for IVF. Coasting or withholding gonadotrophin stimulation relies on frequent estimation of serum oestradiol to identify patients at risk. A modified coasting protocol was developed in which identification of patients at risk of severe OHSS was based on ultrasound monitoring. Serum oestradiol concentrations were measured only in patients with >20 follicles on ultrasound (high risk). If serum oestradiol concentrations were <3000 pmol/l, the gonadotrophin dose was maintained; if concentrations were ≥3000 pmol/l but <13200 pmol/l and ≥25% of the follicles had a diameter of ≥13 mm, the gonadotrophin dose was halved; and if serum oestradiol concentrations were ≥13 200 pmol/l and ≥25% of the follicles had a diameter of ≥15 mm, patients were coasted. In the latter group, human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) 10000 IU was administered when at least three follicles had a diameter of ≥18 mm and serum oestradiol concentrations were <10000 pmol/l. Over a 10 month period, serum oestradiol concentrations were measured in 123 out of 580 cycles (24%) and in 50 cycles, gonadotrophins were withheld. Overall, moderate OHSS occurred in three patients (0.7%) and severe OHSS in one patient (0.2%). The pregnancy rates in the cycles where the gonadotrophin dose was reduced or withheld were 39.6 and 40% per cycle respectively; corresponding implantation rates were 30.7 and 25.6%. It is concluded that the modified coasting strategy is associated with a low risk of moderate and severe OHSS to a minimum without compromising pregnancy rates. Identification of patients at risk by ultrasound reduces the number of serum oestradiol measurements and thus inconvenience to patients as well as costs and workload.

Schizophrenic patients such as violent behavior violent behavior is a form of behavior that aims to injure a person physically and psychologically. To overcome violent behavior in schizophrenic patients it is necessary to take anticipatory strategies, in the form of therapeutic communication. The purpose of this study is to see whether there is an effect of therapeutic communication therapy on patients at risk of violent behavior in the Inpatient Room of Jambi Provincial Hospital. The study was conducted on 12-19 July 2018. The research design used was pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test design. Respondents in this study were all schizophrenic patients with a risk of violent behavior in the inpatient ward of the Regional Psychiatric Hospital of Jambi Province as many as 98 people with a total sample of 20 respondents. Data collection was done by proportional random sampling technique. The results showed that before therapeutic communication therapy was known, most respondents had poor behavior (maladaptive) with a mean of 40.50, and therapeutic communication therapy was known to increase the score of behavior better (adaptive) with mean 43.90. The results showed that there was a significant effect of therapeutic communication therapy in addressing the problem of violent behavior in schizophrenic patients with a p-value of 0.013 (p-value <0.05).

Studi memperkirakan emesis gravidarum terjadi pada 50-90% kehamilan. Mual muntah pada kehamilan memberikan dampak yang signifikan bagi tubuh dimana ibu menjadi lemah, pucat dan cairan tubuh berkurang sehingga darah menjadi kental (hemokonsentrasi). Keadaan ini dapat memperlambat peredaran darah dan berakibat pada kurangnya suplay oksigen serta makanan ke jaringan sehingga dapat membahayakan kesehatan ibu dan janin. Salah satu terapi yang aman dan dapat dilakukan untuk mengurangi keluahan mual muntah pada ibu hamil adalah pemberian aromaterapi lemon. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas aroma terapi lemon untuk menangani emesis gravidarum. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan Quasi experiment  dengan  one group pre-post test design. Populasi penelitian adalah ibu hamil yang mengalami emesis gravidarum di Kecamatan Berbah, Sleman. Jumlah sampel 20 ibu hamil trimester pertama yang diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling. Pengukuran mual muntah dilakukan debelum dan setelah  pemberian aromaterapi lemon menggunakan Indeks Rhodes. Analisa data menggunakan uji Paired t-test. Hasil penelitian didapatkan rata-rata skor mual muntah sebelum pemberian aromaterapi lemon berdasarkan Indeks Rhodes pada Ibu Hamil dengan emesis gravidarum yaitu 22,1 dan terjadi penurunan skor setelah pemberian aromaterapi lemon menjadi 19,8. Ada pengaruh pemberian aromaterapi lemon dengan pengurangan mual muntah pada ibu hamil (p-value = 0.017). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan pemberian aromaterapi lemon efektif untuk mengurangi emesis gravidarum pada ibu hamil trimester pertama.  Kata kunci: aromaterapi lemon, emesis gravidarum THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LEMON AROMATHERAPY FOR HANDLING EMESIS GRAVIDARUM   ABSTRACT Studies estimate that nausea and vomiting (emesis gravidarum) occur in 50 – 90% of pregnancies. Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy have a significant impact on the body in which it makes a mother becomes weak, pale, and decreasing body fluid so that the blood becomes thick (hemoconcentration). This situation can slow down blood circulation and inflict the lack of oxygen and food supplies to the body tissues so that it can endanger the health of the mother and fetus. One of the therapies that is safe and can be conducted to reduce nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is by giving the lemon aromatherapy treatment. The research aims to determine the effectiveness of the aroma of lemon therapy to deal with emesis gravidarum. This study applied quasi-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study was pregnant women who experienced emesis gravidarum. Furthermore, samples were 20 mothers from Berbah, Sleman taken by using a purposive sampling technique. Nausea and vomiting were assessed between before and after giving lemon aromatherapy using the Rhodes Index. The data were analyzed using the paired t-test. The mean score of nausea and vomiting before giving lemon aromatherapy on mother with emesis gravidarum based on the Rhodes Index was 22.1. However, it decreased after given lemon aromatherapy treatment to 19.8. Therefore, there was an effect on giving lemon aromatherapy treatment toward the decrease of nausea and vomiting for pregnant women (p-value = 0.017). Lemon aromatherapy is effective to reduce emesis gravidarum.  Keywords: lemon aromatherapy, emesis gravidarum

Background: The first labor anxiety is an unpleasant psychological condition due to physiological changes that cause psychological instability. The condition of excessive anxiety, worry, fear without cause, and stress, causes the muscles of the body to tense up, especially the muscles in the birth path to become stiff and hard, making it difficult to expand. This study analyzed the effect of pregnancy exercise on third trimester primigravida anxiety in dealing with childbirth. Methods: Quasi experimental design with nonrandomized pretest-postest control group. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with 34 research subjects. 17 people for the treatment group were given pregnancy exercise 8 times, and 17 people for the control group were given health education about preparation for childbirth. Results: The results of data analysis using the Wilcoxon signed rank test showed that the average reduction in the treatment group was 8.00 and the control group was 3.00. The effect of pregnancy exercise on third trimester primigravida anxiety in the treatment group with a p-value (0.000) <(0.05), while the control group with a p-value (0.180)> (0.05). Conclusion: There is an effect of pregnancy exercise on third trimester primigravida anxiety in dealing with childbirth in the Wuryantoro Health Center work area.

Abstract To achieve the nationwide goal of reducing opioid-related deaths, a clinical pharmacy specialist–led clinical video telehealth (CVT) clinic was created at a Veterans Affairs medical center (VAMC) to deliver opioid overdose prevention and naloxone education to at-risk patients. The purpose of this innovative practice was to improve access to this potentially life-saving intervention to patients across urban and rural areas. This study is a single-center, descriptive analysis of adult patients across 2 VAMC campuses and 4 community-based outpatient clinics from July 11, 2016, through December 31, 2016. The purpose of this innovative practice was to increase access to overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) to at-risk patients across urban and rural areas. Patient-specific factors were also examined among those receiving naloxone through the CVT clinic compared to other prescribers. During the first 6 months from the initiation of the clinic, 1 pharmacist prescribed 21% of the health care system's naloxone. These patients identified by the pharmacist-led CVT clinic were more likely to be considered high-risk due to concomitant use of opioids and benzodiazepines. In conclusion, the pharmacist-led CVT group clinic has been an efficient strategy to extend OEND services to high-risk patients beyond central, urban areas.

Syphilitic hepatitis (SH) in adults is a rare condition that can be easily misdiagnosed. Clinical and histopathologic manifestations of SH can mimic other infectious and non-infectious conditions, and the diagnosis should be considered in all at-risk patients with abnormal liver function tests. We present an unusual case of SH presenting with seizures and multiple liver lesions. This case report, in line with other newly published reports, promotes awareness of SH as a rare manifestation of treponemal infection and highlights the importance of including SH in the differential diagnosis for patients at risk for sexually transmitted infections and presenting with liver enzyme abnormalities. From a hospital quality control and socioeconomic perspective, our case adds to the growing body of evidence that demonstrates an increasing incidence of patients suffering from venereal diseases and injection drug use disorders, and the burden these conditions place on the healthcare system. Recognition of the clinicopathologic features of SH is required to prevent missed diagnosis and to foster systematic crosstalk between healthcare staff and public health personnel managing this problem.
