Background: Chronic Obstruction Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is disease characterized by obstruction air flow in the breath not wholly reversible. One treatment can be done on improving exercise tolerance is exercise respiration as pursed lip breathing ( PLB ). Purse lip breathing is a techniques of breathing carried out to expelling air by creating power through  in move closer /pursed lips. Purpose: provide an illustration of the application of the practice of evidence based nursing of pursed lip breathing in patients COPD in RSUP Persahabatan Jakarta. Method:  the implementation of the practice of evidence based nursing pursed lip breathing is applied to 12 people sample ( 10 men and 2 women ) diagnosed with COPD exacerbation. Result: the majority of sex respondents is man as many as 10 ( 83,3 % ) persons and women as many as 2 ( 16,7 % ) a person .mean the age of respondents is 61,5 years ± 10.4 .mean the value of PEF ( Peak Expiratory Flow ), the value of the saturation oxygen , the value of respiratori rate before the intervention in a consecutive manner is 131.6 ±  44.6; 92.1 ± 2.44; 31.5 ±  2 . While value after the intervention is 175.0 ±  60.0; 97,1 ± 1.6; 22,6 ± 1.7 with P value = 0.001, α = 0.05.

ABSTRACT Objective: To record and identify the characteristics of nursing handovers in a tertiary hospital. Method: Observational study. Twenty-two nurses participated in 11 nursing handovers in 2015/16, using a recorded audio system and an unstructured observation form. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed. Results: Thirty characteristics were identified. The nursing handovers were based on the clinical status of patients, and all nurses obtained specialized scientific knowledge specific to the clinical environment. The information used was not based on nursing diagnoses and not in accordance with best nursing clinical practice. The following four clusters emerged among the 30 characteristics: 1) the use of evidence-based nursing practice, 2) the nonuse of evidence-based nursing practice and its correlation with strained psychological environment, 3) patient management and the clinical skills/knowledge of nurses, and 4) handover content, quality of information transferred and specialization. Conclusion: Multiple characteristics were observed. The majority of characteristics were grouped based on common features, and 4 main clusters emerged. The investigation and understanding of structural relations between these characteristics and their respective clusters may lead to an improvement in the quality of nursing health care services.

Abstract Background Patients with diabetic foot ulcers may have a lower quality of life. The objective was to compare the quality of life and its psychosocial determinants among patients with and without diabetic foot ulcers. Methods A case-control study was conducted in 2017 among patients with (cases) and without (controls) diabetic foot ulcers. The study tools included the World Health Organization’s Quality of Life scale (WHOQOL-BREF), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale for anxiety and depression, the Patient Health Questionnaire Physical Symptoms (PHQ-15) for the severity of somatic symptoms, and the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) measure for self-management. Results A total of 209 patients (45 cases and 164 controls) were included. The average age was 56.2 ± 11.7 years, and 55.5% were female. The average scores of WHOQOL-BREF, PHQ-15, and SDSCA were 74.4% ± 12.1% and 8.1 ± 6.1, and 30.4 ± 21.8, respectively. The prevalence of anxiety and depression were 19.6 and 24.9%, respectively. SDSCA was the only psychosocial determinants higher in cases than controls (mean difference = 15.0, 95% CI = -8.0–22.0). The correlation coefficients of WHOQOL-BREF scores with anxiety, depression, and PHQ-15 scores in all patients were − 0.559 (p < 0.001), − 0.582 (p < 0.001), and − 0.532 (p < 0.001), respectively, with similar numbers in both groups. In multivariate analysis, only the association between quality of life and depression was maintained. Conclusion Quality of life and psychosocial determinants with the exception of self-management were not associated with diabetic foot ulcers. Depressive symptoms were independent determinant of poor quality of life, irrespective of the status of diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the variables that significantly affect heart failure patients’ quality of life, and particularly, to identify the impact of self-management behavior on the quality of life. MethodsThis retrospective study used heart failure patients’ data from cardiovascular outpatient clinics at two tertiary medical centers in Korea. We enrolled 119 patients who completed echocardiography and stress tests and responded to questionnaires on self-management behavior and quality of life. We collected more data on general and disease-related characteristics and anthropometric and serum blood test results through electronic medical record review. We analyzed data using the classification and regression tree to explore the influencing factors and their characteristics in patients with high and low quality of life. ResultsPatients’ mean age was 74.61 years, and women represented 52.1% of the sample. It showed that the cardiac systolic function (β = 0.26, p = .013) and self-management behavior (β = 0.20, p = .048) were two major influential factors on heart failure patients’ quality of life. Therefore, HF patients’ self-management behavior is a significant modifiable factor that can improve their quality of life.ConclusionsHealthcare providers should be aware of the importance of heart failure patients’ self-management and help promote their quality of life by enhancing their self-management behavior.

The ageing process of EU population has played a key role raising the prevalence of chronic disease, with more than 80% of people in the last age group (65-74) reported to be having three or more long-term Multimorbidity or Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCCs). The main problem is that currently, clinicians have limited guidance, as well as evidence of how to approach care decisions for such patients. As a consequence, the understanding of how to best take care of patients with multimorbidity conditions, may lead to improvements in Quality of Life (QoL), utilization of healthcare, safety, morbidity and mortality. The root of this problem is not narrowly confined to guidelines development and application, but is inherent throughout the translational path from the generation of evidence to the synthesis of the evidence upon which guidelines depend.
