Abstract Objective Post-stroke urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the sequelae of stroke. This situation affects all aspects of the patient's life – physically, psychologically, socially, and ...spiritually. This study aimed to investigate the experience of patients’ success in facing a post-stroke UI. Methods A qualitative study using the Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) approach was used in this study. Informants were selected using purposive sampling. In-depth interviews with as many as 8 patients who had recovered from post-stroke UI and living in the greater area of Southeast Sulawesi (Indonesia) were conducted. In-depth interviews were also conducted with 8 caregivers and 2 nurses. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach and interpretation of data was based on Humanbecoming theory and Self-care deficit theory of nursing. Results Five successful things the patients experienced during post-stroke UI were identified. The five successes were as follows: they provided information to get to know and understand post-stroke UI, followed the procedures to overcome post-stroke UI, conducted self-control exercises and stayed motivated, performed daily activities independently according to ability, and made use of family support and peers’ attention. Conclusions These findings indicated that persistence, belief, independence, and social support (family and peer) made patients to successfully face their post-stroke UI and improved their quality of life. These findings also became the basis for developing a post-stroke UI management model based on Humanbecoming theory and Self-care deficit theory of nursing.
Number of diabetes mellitus cases have been increasing every year. Diabetes mellitus patient needs to get information about diabetes mellitus at least after the diagnose were given. Nurse as an ...educator could give education for diabetes mellitus patient, so that there will be an upgrade of knowledge diabetes mellitus patient. Verbal education need an additional tool such as a modul, in purpose patient can re-evaluate the material that they already get. The purpose of this research is to test the impact of education using self instructional module to level of knowledge about diabetes mellitus to diabetes mellitus patient type 2. This research using quasi experimental with one group pretest postest design with 29 person samples in total with diabetes mellitus type 2 diagnosis. Data collection using questionaire. Statistic analysis using wilcoxon.

Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing pre-dialysis requires a good self-management to control low protein intake and maintain kidney function. Adaptation to the existing ...stimulus through coping and adjustment mechanisms is important to maintaining good kidney function. However, few studies applied nursing theory based to guide intervention in helping the adaptation of patient CKD with their condition. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Roy’s adaptation model towards physiological and psychological adaptation response among patients with CKD undergoing pre-dialysis.Methods: This study was conducted using a quasi-experiment to patients with CKD pre-dialysis, age over 18 years old. We modified Roy’s adaptation model for patients with CKD undergoing pre-dialysis.Results: A total of 70 subjects agreed to join the study, 38 subjects in intervention and 32 subjects in the control group. The mean of eGFR ranged from 26.3 to 26.6 mL/min/1.73 m2. We found that Roy’s adaptation model has significantly improved drinking behavior, reduce protein intake, blood creatinine, and psychosocial adaptation response after the intervention.Conclusion: These study findings suggested that Roy’s adaptation model is effective to help patients with CKD undergoing pre-dialysis improve their behavior and maintain kidneyfunction . Model dissemination, advocacy to related units, and application in nursing care in patients with chronic kidney disease pre-dialysis are necessary.
The main symptom of lung cancer is dyspnea which can lead to depression, anxiety, limited independent activities, and decreased quality of life. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect ...of airflow stimulation from a hand-held fan as nonpharmacological palliative intervention on dyspnea in patients with lung cancer.
This study used open, randomized, controlled, crossover trial design involved 21 participants. Diaphragmatic breathing technique was used in control arm.
Wilcoxon test result showed that airflow stimulation significantly influenced dyspnea scale (P = 0.003) and respiratory rate (RR) (P = 0.008). Combination of airflow stimulation and diaphragmatic breathing can lower both dyspnea scale and RR significantly (P < 0.0001).
This combination can be applied on nonhypoxemic dyspneic lung cancer patients.
Background: Chronic kidney disease is identified as kidney damage for more than three months with glomerulus filtration rate less than 60ml / min / 1.73 m2.
Objective: This study aims to explore the ...experience of life of patients with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease used Roy’s adaptation model.
Methods: This study was a qualitative study using descriptive phenomenology approach in the General Hospital of Cibabat Cimahi West Java, Indonesia. Data were obtained with depth interviews involved eight participants with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease consisting of two men and six women, aged ranged from 35 to 65 years. The years living with chronic kidney disease ranged from 1 to 2 years. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s methods.
Results: We found nine themes, namely: physical stimulus, psychic stimulus, socio-economic stimulus, physical coping mechanisms to control the situation, a coping mechanism to maintain health function, selecting behavioral adaptation physiology, selecting a behavior adaptation of the self-concept, selecting adaptation behaviors role function, and selecting behavioral adaptation interdependence.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the experience of patients with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease complained physical, psychological, social, economic, and spiritual problems. Therefore, health care professionals need to design an intervention to improve patients’ coping mechanism to maintain kidney function, and adapt to diet for foods and drinks, activity patterns and roles according to their conditions, which also elaborate the function of family support.

The objective of this study was to explore the patients experience that cause them obedient the treatment based on King’s interacting systems theory. Method: This research was a qualitative research with descriptive explorative approach. The samples were selected through purposive sampling method. Participants in this study were 8 patients who met the inclusion criteria. In this study, participants were pulmonary TB patients who have undergone treatment for 5-6 months. Results: There were 12 themes in patients compliance based on King’s interacting systems theory; (1) true perception of pulmonary tuberculosis, (2) self-awareness, (3) optimal growth and development, (4) positive self-image, (5) a healthy environment, (6) discipline to take medication, (7) effective coping, (8) open communication with the patient's health workers and family, (9) to perform its role optimally, (10) balancing stress during illness, (11) knowing the health care bureaucracy and (12) able to take decisions. Discussion: The 12 themes describe that adherent patients have interaction systems that were personal systems, interpersonal systems and social systems. Keywords: Compliance, pulmonary tuberculosis, King’s interacting systems theory.
This review aimed at providing a summary of a collection of literature that covers breast cancer and related phenomena, namely fatigue and the disruption of self-esteem and body image that can occur ...when a cancer diagnosis is given. As the most common symptom reported by survivors, fatigue is a unique personal symptom that burdened survivors, a consequence as well as an antecedent. Fatigue in cancer is caused by disease processes as well as treatment side effects and becomes a serious problem compared to pain and nausea due to limited physical function, and psychological and social welfare. Facing the problem of fatigue, and poor self-esteem and body image in nursing science contributes to the empowerment of survivors; this is achieved through nursing processes and is a standard that can be used to solve fatigue problems.
Background: Safety leadership positively influence safety compliance amongst employees in health care. It is necessary to understand how far nursing management has played its roles in attaining ...safety leadership.
Objective: This study is aimed to explore the safety leadership implemented by nursing management in enhancing the health care system.
Methods: This study conducted a systematic mixed studies review of current literature focusing on nursing managerial and safety leadership. Five key terms, safety leadership and head nurse or headward, first-line nurse manager, nurse leader, or nurse administrator, were used to retrieve relevant articles. Potential articles were found in seven extensive databases (EBSCO, Sage Publication, Scopus, JSTOR, Wiley online, ProQuest and Emerald). We included English research articles or review papers, available full-text, and published from September 2010 to September 2020. Irrelevant and redundant articles were excluded. Two data extractors analyzed the relevant reports.
Results: The search yielded 40 articles. But, after duplicates were removed, eleven full-text articles involving 5361 respondents were reviewed. The review papers included qualitative studies (n = 3), cross-sectional survey (n = 6), and (quasi) experiments (n = 2). The most significant proportion (40%) of the study was conducted in the American region. Four themes were generated, including role of safety leadership, development of safety leadership, support, and barriers. The review highlights that the nurse leaders play essential role in the development and implementation of safety leaderships in the hospital wards though they face challenges which need supporting team works, professionals, and standards.
Conclusion: Adopting safety leadership as a part of nursing management requires support from policymakers, institutions, and nursing leaders. The leaders should understand the complexities of the institutional structures and functional relationships in the health care system to meet patient safety standards
Chiari malformation is a structural defect in the skull that causes part of the brain to push into the spinal canal. Chiari malformations are almost always present at birth, though symptoms may not ...develop until later in childhood. In adult years, problems can include persistent headaches, neck pain, and weakness and/or numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, which makes it a disease of interest to present as a clinical case with a nursing model care plan.
This is a 43-year-old female patient with type I Chiari malformation. She has neck and shoulder pain, stiffness in the hands, as well as hypotonus and hypotrophy in the upper limb. The patient underwent foramen magnum decompression surgery.
We used Roy's adaptation model for the nursing care plan. The main needs we find are respiration (risk for ineffective breathing pattern), mobility (impaired physical mobility), sensation (acute pain), protection (risk for infection, and risk for bleeding), fluid and electrolyte (risk of fluid and electrolyte imbalance), and self-concept (anxiety).
The Roy's adaptation model approach was useful in this case as it focuses on the patient's adaptability and is suitable for use in perioperative nursing management of type I Chiari malformation in adults. A collaborative approach is essential for planning and carrying out care.
La malformación de Chiari es un defecto estructural en el cráneo que hace que parte del cerebro empuje hacia el canal espinal. Las malformaciones de Chiari casi siempre están presentes al nacer, aunque es posible que los síntomas no se desarrollen hasta más tarde en la infancia. En la edad adulta, los problemas pueden incluir dolores de cabeza persistentes, dolor de cuello y debilidad y/o entumecimiento y hormigueo en brazos y piernas, lo que la convierte en una enfermedad de interés para presentar como caso clínico con un plan de cuidados modelo de enfermería.
Se trata de una paciente de 43 años con malformación de Chiari tipo I. Experimenta dolor de cuello y hombros, rigidez en las manos, así como hipotonía e hipotrofia en el miembro superior. La paciente fue sometida a una cirugía de descompresión del foramen magnum.
Usamos el plan de cuidados de enfermería del Modelo de Adaptación de Roy. Las principales necesidades que encontramos son respiración (riesgo de patrón respiratorio ineficaz), movilidad (movilidad física alterada), sensación (dolor agudo), protección (riesgo de infección y riesgo de hemorragia), líquidos y electrolitos (riesgo de desequilibrio de líquidos y electrolitos) y autoconcepto (ansiedad).
El enfoque del Modelo de Adaptación de Roy fue útil en este caso, ya que se centra en la adaptabilidad del paciente adecuada para su uso en el manejo perioperatorio de enfermería de la malformación de Chiari tipo I en adultos. Un enfoque colaborativo es esencial para planificar y llevar a cabo la atención.
