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: Studies demonstrated controversial results on subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) regarding lipid profile alteration with or without Levothyroxine treatment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Levothyroxine on serum lipids in SCH. Materials and Methods: One hundred patients with SCH referred to Taleghani hospital in Kermanshah were recruited and randomly assigned into the intervention or the control group. Patients in intervention group received Levothyroxine 50-75 micrograms for three months. Patients in control group received the same placebo with the same dose and duration. Lipid profile was measured before and after the trial and the changes were compared between groups. (IRCT code: 138903244179N1). Results: Triglyceride, Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL and Lipoprotein-A were measured before and after treatment. None of the factors showed significant difference either between or within groups, before and after the treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion: Treating with Levothyroxine does not have any clinically significant impact on lipid profile in SCH patients which indicates that we should not expect SCH patients to use Levothyroxine solely for lipid profile alternation, except those with other clinical indications for treatment.[GMJ.2015;4(2):72-77]

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.

Smoking behavior among adolescents is increasing. This condition is partly influenced by the incessant advertisements for cigarettes that offer expectations that are the opposite of their impact. This study aims to determine the effect of audiovisual media-based education in the context of changing adolescent attitudes towards cigarette advertisements. The study design used was a Quasi Experiment with a Pretest-Posttest with Control Group. The research subjects were college adolescents (students) with a total of 25 people in the intervention group and 25 in the control group. Data were analyzed using dependent t test and independent t test. In the intervention group, there was a significant difference between attitudes towards cigarette advertisements before and after being given audiovisual media related to cigarette advertising in the experimental group (p = 0.010), on the other hand there was no change in attitude in the control group (p = 0.760) . However, there was no significant difference between attitudes towards cigarette advertising in the experimental and control groups (p = 0.096). Therefore, education using audiovisual media is considered more effective in increasing changes in attitudes towards cigarette advertisements. The campus is expected to reinforce and socialize regulations related to KTR and further research can conduct media pre-testing.

Background: Population of elderly in Indonesia continues to grow. Physical changes in the elderly cause balance disturbances, increasing the risks of falling. Objective: To determine balance training effectiveness on reducing risks of falls in elderly. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with control and intervention groups. Functional Reach Test (FRT) and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) were used to assess balance function. The elderly in this study had risks of falling according to FRT and FES-I. Timed Get-up and Go Test was used to assess physical function. Education and balance exercises were given for 3 weeks to the intervention group. Pre-test data were taken at the beginning of the study, while post-test data after the balance training was given to the intervention group. Paired t-test was used to compare the pre-test and post-test data. Results: Research was conducted in Warungboto and Giwangan Kampongs, Umbulharjo District, Yogyakarta Municipality. Data from 60 elderly: 30 in the intervention and 30 in the control groups. Paired t-test showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results in the intervention group on FRT (t=-16,301, p<0.001, and FES-I (t=-24,457, p<0.001). The three-week-balance-training significantly reduced the risk of falling in the intervention group. Significant difference was not found in the control group on FRT (t=-0.126, p=0.901), and FES-I (t=-0.764, p=0.451). There was no significant reduction in the risks of falls in the control group. Conclusion: Balance training is effective in reducing the risk of falls in elderly.

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. Keywords: cryotherapy, episiotomy wound pain, post partum
