Laparotomy is one of the major surgeries. Laparotomy is an operative technique that can be performed on digestive and urinary sistem disorders that will cause pain. This study aims to determine thes effects of kinesio taping on the level of pains in post laparotomy patients. The methods of this study use a pre-post and control group quasi experimental design research. Consisting of the intervention group and the control group, the number of sample was 24 samples with 12 respondent in the kinesio taping installation intervention group and 12 respondent in the control group giving standar drug, using a simple random sampling technique. Dependent t-test obtained an average difference of 2.08 in the control group while ansaveragesdifferencesof 3.84 insthe intervention group. Independent T test results obtained P value (0.001)<(0.05). The conclusion there was assignificant difference in the level of pain in the kinesio taping intervention group and the control group that did not have kinesio taping. Variable confounding has been performed statistically. The results shows that here is no relationships between age, attitude and belief in the pain of Laparotomy, while age is related to post-Laparotomy pain, kinesio taping can be used as an independent nursing intervention to reduce the intensity of pain in post-Laparotomy patients.

Penyakit Diabetes Melitus (DM) termasuk penyakit yang bersifat kronis akibat terjadinya peningkatan kadar glukosa darah. Kepatuhan minum obat merupakan faktor penting dalam mengontrol kadar glukosa darah. Salah satu intevensi yang dapat dilakukan oleh apoteker secara komprehensif untuk pasien dengan penyakit kronis adalah edukasi apoteker melalui home pharmacy care (HPC). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh edukasi apoteker melalui HPC pada pasien DM dalam meningkatkan kepatuhan dan kontrol glukosa darah puasa (GDP). Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with control group design yang dilakukan pada bulan Agustus-November 2020. Subyek uji dalam penelitian ini adalah pasien DM tipe 2 yang mengikuti program Prolanis di Puskesmas Mlati II Sleman, Yogyakarta. Total subyek uji dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 60 pasien dari 65 pasien yang terbagi menjadi kelompok kontrol (30 pasien) dan intervensi (30 pasien) yang dipilih dengan metode simple random sampling. Pengukuran tingkat kepatuhan dilakukan dengan menggunakan instrumen kuesioner ProMAS dan glucose test untuk mengukur kadar GDP. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi square untuk meniliai perbedaan karakteristik pasien, uji Wilcoxon untuk membandingkan data pretest dan posttest pada masing-masing kelompok dan uji Mann Whitney untuk membandingkan tingkat kepatuhan dan ketercapaian GDP pada kedua kelompok. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa edukasi melalui HPC dapat meningkatkan kepatuhan p=0,002 (p<0,05) dan kontrol GDP dengan rata-rata penurunan kadar GDP kelompok intervensi adalah 53,67±24,31 mg/dL dan p=0,021 (p<0,05). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pemberian edukasi melalui HPC dapat meningkatkan kepatuhan dan ketercapaian kadar glukosa darah puasa

Abstract Background: The aim of the present study was to assess readiness to become or stay physically active according to the Stages of Change Model.Methods: The present quasi-experimental study was conducted on 100 women working in the healthcare centres of Bandar Abbas, Iran. The sampling method is clustering in type. The subjects were assigned into two groups of intervention and control. The collected data were analysed by SPSS-16 software using descriptive and inferential statistics, including independent-sample t-test, paired-sample t-test and Chi-square test.Results: Before the educational intervention, 19 subjects (0.38%) from the intervention group showed to have regular physical activity (4-5 stages). This number changed to 29 (0.58%) and 25 (0.50%) after three months and six months of intervention. A statistically significant difference was found before the intervention and 3 and 6 months afterwards (P˂.001). In the control group, no statistically significant difference was found between the pre-intervention and post-intervention (three months (P=.351) and six months (P=.687).Conclusion: The educational intervention based on the stages of behaviour change model showed to be effective in promoting the physical activity of employed women. These findings may benefit health education researchers and practitioners who tend to develop innovative theory-based interventions and strategies to increase the level of physical activity in women.

One of the causes of high maternal mortality is delivery assistance provided by other than health workers or traditional healers. The way to reduce the bondage relationship is to increase the motivation of cadres to refer mothers to health workers. The DABA method is a modification or development of the SALT method (support, appreciate, learn, and transfer), is a method or technique for forming something, showing that a community has the ability to respond to every challenge including childbirth assistance. The maternal mortality rate is still high, the Inter-Census Population Survey data released by the Central Statistics Agency shows that there were 359 maternal deaths per 100,000 births in 2013. The purpose of this study was to analyze the motivation of cadres by empowering the DABA method for referral for delivery assistance by health workers in Jember Regency. Motivation is the reason that underlies an action done by an individual. The method used was quasi-experimental using 2 groups. This study used the non equivalent control group, pre test post test design. The population in this study were 2220 posyandu cadres in the working area of the health centers in the Jember District. The subjects of this study were 100 posyandu cadres in Jember district in 2019 who met the criteria. The sampling technique was carried out by simple random sampling by selecting from a list of names of cadres in each health center. There was differences (p-value = 0.021) of cadre motivation between treatment and control group. The cadre motivation of intervention group was higher than the control group for referral labor. Having high motivation means having very strong reasons to achieve what he wants by doing his current job. The cadre motivation of treatment group increased significantly, this happened because cadres trained through the DABA method were invited to achieve the dreams they had built, namely to reduce maternal and infant mortality. Training using the DABA method is able to increase the motivation of cadres to make a referral to mothers to give birth at a health service place, so training with the DABA method is highly recommended to increase motivation for certain groups to achieve certain goals.

The data were collected using the demographic questionnaire, the Schizophrenia Hope Scale (SHS-9), and Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS), and analyzed using the Chi-Square and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: After mindfulness therapy, the intervention group showed a higher mean score of hope than the control group (14.30±2.50 and 9.04±2.15, respectively) as well as in the mean of recovery (86.78±4.00 and 73.56±6.04, respectively). There were significant differences in hope and recovery levels between the two groups with p-value <0.001.Conclusion: This study showed that mindfulness is an effective strategy to stimulate hope and recovery among people with schizophrenia.
