BACKGROUND: Asphyxia delivery results in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and multiorgan failure. The organ most affected by hypoxia is the cardiovascular system. Newborns with asphyxia have a lack of oxygen (hypoxia) and have an increased heart rate (tachycardia). Giving baby positions, such as supination position, pronation, right lateral, left lateral, and head elevation, are expected to improve the hemodynamic of newborns with asphyxia. AIM: This study was to determine the difference in effect between left lateral position and the head elevation position on the heart rate of newborns with asphyxia in the perinatology room of RSUD Dr. Soediran Mangun Sumarso Wonogiri. METHODS: This research is a quasi-experimental quantitative study with a pre- and post-test non-equivalent control group design. Sampling using non-probability sampling technique with consecutive sampling. The sample was divided into two groups, namely, the intervention group with 30 respondents who got the left lateral position and the control group with 30 respondents who got the head elevation position. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences parametric test with paired t-test and independent t-test. RESULTS: The results of paired t-test analysis in the intervention group obtained p = 0.003 (p < 0.05) and in the control group obtained p < 0.001 (p < 0.05), which means that both have a significantly on changes in the heart rate of newborns with asphyxia. The results of the independent t-test analysis obtained p = 0.191 (p < 0.05), which means that there is no significant difference in the heart rate of newborns with asphyxia in the intervention and control groups. CONCLUSION: Both interventions, giving the left lateral position and the head elevation position, have a significantly effect on changes in the heart rate of newborns with asphyxia.

Introduction Depression is a common health concern in primary care with barriers to treatment well documented in the literature. Innovative online psychoeducational approaches to address barriers to care have been well received and can be cost effective. This pilot trial evaluated the effectiveness of an online psychoeducation curriculum intended to alleviate symptoms of depression while utilizing minimal staff resources. Methods A small (n = 29) randomized control pilot study was conducted. Online psychoeducational content was delivered in 5 to 10-minute videos over 8 weeks. Participants engaged in moderated discussions on workshop topics. The Patient Health Care Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to measure pre/post scores. Two Likert scale questions were used to determine subjective changes in understanding of depression and coping skills. Results Paired T-test analysis showed an average PHQ-9 improvement of 4.37 ( P = .01) in the intervention arm and 1.81 ( P = .172) in the control group. No significant difference in delta PHQ-9 score was found between groups via difference in difference analysis ( P = .185). Effect size was 0.59. No improvement in Likert scores for question 1 or 2 were detected by paired T test in either group. Conclusion This pilot trial of interactive online psychoeducational content shows initial promise as there was a significant improvement in PHQ-9 scores within the intervention arm. The comparison of delta scores between intervention and control arms was not statistically significant although this is likely due to the underpowered nature of the pilot trial. This data trend justifies the need for a larger validation trial of this intervention.

Introduction: Breathing literally means the movement of oxygen from the atmosphere and reach the cells and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) is one of the important components in the process of respiration, especially in patients with mechanical ventilation. There are several interventions that can be performed in an effort to improve the ventilation, one of them is patients positioning: left lateral position with 30 degrees head elevation. This study aimed to determine the effect of left lateral position with 30 degrees head elevation to the value of partial pressure of oxygen in patients with mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit RSUP DR. M. Djamil Padang. Method: This study was Pra Experiments with one group pretest posttest design. 15 samples taken by purposive sampling method. Data obtained by blood gasses analysis and it was conducted since May 8th untill June 5th, 2013. Univariate data presented in frequency distribution table, while the bivariate data using the paired T test. Result: Univariate analysis showed the value of the partial pressure of oxygen ( pO2 ) before intervention between 119-228 mmHg , while the value of the partial pressure of oxygen ( pO2 ) after intervention between 132-269 mmHg . Paired T test results showed a signifi cant difference between the value of the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) before and after intervention (p = 0.040, p < 0.05 ). Discussion: The left lateral position with 30 degrees head elevation could increase the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in patients with mechanical ventilation. The results of this study can be used for increasing the nursingcare quality of patients with mechanical ventilation in order to reduce the time of hospitalization. Further research on these positioning interventions can be developed for patients with primary respiratory problems or lung disease.Keywords: left lateral position, partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), mechanical ventilation

Providing counseling is one of the factors that increase the knowledge and actions of mothers in meeting adequate nutritional consumption. This study aimed to identify the lactation and nutrition counseling towards mother's knowledge and intake in Puskesmas Kebayoran Lama Jakarta. This research was a quasi-experimental study pre-post with a control group design. Sample collection technique used consecutive sampling with 30 respondents in each group (intervention group and control group). Counseling was given 3 times, after giving birth, a child at age 7-14 days and age 35 days. Knowledge and food intake were collected before and after the intervention. The bivariate analysis used an independent t-test and paired t-test with a significance level of p0.05. There was a significant difference in mother's knowledge about breastfeeding between the intervention group and control group after they were given lactation counseling (p0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the mother's nutrient intake between the intervention and control group after counseled (p0.05). Lactation counseling can positively affect the mother's knowledge about breastfeeding, but not for the mother's action in consuming enough nutrient intake. ABSTRAKPemberian konseling menjadi salah satu faktor yang meningkatkan pengetahuan dan tindakan ibu dalam memenuhi konsumsi gizi yang adekuat.

ABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Nyeri merupakan keluhan tertinggi yang dirasakan pasien dengan luka episiotomi menyebabkan penurunan kemampuan ibu untuk melakukan bounding attachment kepada bayinya. Intervensi keperawatan yang dapat menurunkan keluhan nyeri luka episiotomy secara aman dan tanpa efeksamping menjadi penting. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh cryptherapy terhadap nyeri luka episiotomi pada pasien post partum hari pertama di Ruang V/VI RS. Dustira Cimahi. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian quasi eksperimental dengan pendekatan two groups pretest and posttest design. Sebanyak 88 pasien dipilih sebagai responden yang terbagi dalam dua kelompok menggunakan accidental sampling. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji statistik analisis univariat (berupa distribusi frekuensi, persentase dan mean dari setiap variabel), analisis bivariat (paired t test, independent t test), dan analisis multivariat (uji ancova). Hasil: Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rerata skor nyeri antara skor sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan intervensi cryotherapy pada kelompok intervensi (pretest 4,86±0,930 dan posttest 3,59±0,844). Pada kelompok kontrol juga terjadi penurunan skor nyeri setelah dilakukan relaksasi autogenik (pretest 4,86±0,930 dan posttest 4,82±1,040) namun peningkatan ini tidak signifikan. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna selisih skor nyeri kelompok intervensi dengan kelompok kontrol (p = 0,000). Tidak adanya pengaruh dominan yang signifikan (p > 0,005) dari masing-masing karakteristik responden (usia, skor cemas dan riwayat episiotomi sebelumnya) terhadap skala nyeri posttest kelompok intervensi. Secara umum hasil penelitian ini menemukan ada pengaruh cryotherapy terhadap tingkat nyeri luka episiotomy dibandingkan dengan relaksasi autogenik. Diskusi: Disarankan kepada pasien post partum yang mengalami luka nyeri episiotomy agar menggunakan tehni cryotherapy mulai hari pertama post partum, rutin dilakukan dua hari sekali (pagi dan sore) untuk mempercepat penurunan skala nyeri.   Kata Kunci: cryotherapy, nyeri luka episiotomi, post partum   ABSTRACT Introduction: Pain is the highest complaint felt by a patient with episiotomy injury causing a decrease in the mother's ability to perform bounding attachment to her baby. Safe and less side effect interventions that aimed to reduce pain of episiotomy wound become necessary. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of cryptherapy on the pain of episiotomy wound in first day postpartum patient in Room V / VI RS. Dustira Cimahi. Method: This research uses quasi experimental research method with approach of two groups pretest and posttest design. A total of 88 patients were selected as respondents who were divided into two groups using accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using univariate statistic test (frequency distribution, percentage and mean of each variable), bivariate analysis (paired t test, independent t test), and multivariate analysis (ancova test). Results: This study indicates that there is a difference in the mean score of pain between before and after cryotherapy intervention in the intervention group (pretest 4.86 ± 0.930 and posttest 3.59 ± 0.844). There is different in pain score after the autogenic relaxation in control group (pretest 4.86 ± 0.930 and posttest 4.82 ± 1.040) yet the increament is not statistically significant. There was a significant difference in intervention group pain score with control group (p = 0,000). There is no significant influence (p> 0.005) of each respondent characteristic (age, anxiety score and previous episiotomy history) on the posttest pain scale of the intervention group. In general, the results of this study found no effect of cryotherapy on the level of episiotomy wound pain compared with autogenic relaxation. Discussion: It is advisable for postpartum patients with episiotomy pain to use cryotherapy from the first day of post partum, routinely done every other day (morning and afternoon) to accelerate the decrease of pain scale.

Background: Anxiety in patients admitted at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is common and usually moderate or severe. Anxiety affects endocrine and physiological responses. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of aromatherapy by rose essence on anxiety and physiological indices of conscious patients admitted at ICU. Methods: In this clinical trial, 60 conscious patients admitted at ICU wards in Ali Ibn Abi Talib Hospital of Rafsanjan were selected and randomly allocated into two groups of intervention and control. In the intervention group, three drops of 10% rose essence were poured on the gauze and placed 20 cm from the patients’ nose on their shirt, and the patients inhaled it for 20 minutes three times a day. In the control group, three drops of distilled water were used likewise. Data collection tools included Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the demographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS V.18. Results: According to the results, in the intervention group, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly increased (paired t-test, P < 0.05) in the second time after the intervention and significantly decreased (paired t-test, P < 0.05) in the third time. The mean oxygen saturation of arterial blood also significantly increased in the second time in this group after the intervention (paired t-test, P = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in anxiety score before and after the intervention in each group. Conclusions: Although aromatherapy using rose essence was statistically significant on some of the physiological indices of conscious patients in ICU, these differences were not clinically significant.

Background: Surgery is one of medical interventions which can cause fear, anxiety, and stressed because of its effects toward the integrity of body and soul. Nurses have significant roles in any preoperative care which is helping patients to decrease preoperative anxiety by using complementary therapy. The use of music therapy as one of the complementary therapies is not common in Indonesia. Therefore, scientific studies to prove the role of this therapy to decrease the level of anxiety of pre-operative patients is needed. Objective: To investigate the effects of music therapy in reducing anxiety levels of preoperative patients. Methods: A quasy experimental study with pre-test and post-test design with control group was applied to 50 respondents from medical ward in Panembahan Senopati Hospital of Yogyakarta who met the inclusion criteria.Dara were then analyzed by using t-test statistical analysis. Results: The control group showed the increased value of anxiety level of0.8 without music intervention (t= - 1503, df = 24, p<.05), whereas the intervention group showed the decreased value of anxiety level of -5.52 (t=5.081, df=24, p<.05). Meanwhile the independent t-test results for both groups showed a significant difference between group (t= 3,373, df=48, p<.05). Conclusion: Music therapy has significant effect in reducing preoperative anxiety levels of patients. Keywords: anxiety, preoperative, music therapy
