Background: The role of medical caretakers as well-being specialists incorporates a major commitment to well-being administrations in an effort to improve the quality of well-being administrations. A few variables that impact nursing documentation include the need for time, the need for vitality, the persistent stack, the need for information from medical caretakers around the documentation framework, the significance of reporting nursing care, and the need for support from nursing pioneers. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of nursing process training on the quality of nursing care documentation.

Methods: The research to be conducted uses a pre-experiment design research design with a one-group pre-post test-only model consisting of one intervention group. Data collection will be carried out from October to November 2023 in the inpatient room at the hospital. The population in this study was 486 nurses in Surakarat City. The sample was determined based on simple random sampling, so 82 nurses were selected.

Results: The results of statistical tests explain that the value is -48.538 (t≠0). The t value can illustrate that there is a difference in the average score between the pre-test and post-test, where the average pre-test score (69.40) is smaller than the average post-test score (90.57) with a significant value ( p) = 0.000 (p<0.05). The pre-test score (69.40) is smaller than the average post-test score (90.57), with a significance value (p) = 0.000 (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Nursing process training has been proven to be effective in influencing the documentation of the nursing process. It is recommended that health institutions provide ongoing training for nurses, not just as a one-time event.

Endang Caturini, Dwi Ariani, Siti Khadijah — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Background: The elderly experience changes in the musculoskeletal system in the form of joint disorders that attack the joints and supporting tissue structures around the joints causing pain, loss of physical function, and disability. This requires management to reduce joint pain and improve muscle movement, function, strength, and endurance using joint gymnastics/rheumatism. The purpose of this study was to improve the ability of physical functioning in the elderly.

Methods: Quasi-experimental research with pre-post test design. The number of samples was 42 elderly people. This study measured the ability of physical function in the elderly. The research instrument used the KOOS (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed ranks test.

Results: Research shows the majority of respondents are > 59 years old, and the majority are women (62.2%). There was an increase in knowledge with an increase in score of 2.19 and functional ability with an increase of 21.71 which was described in 4 sections, namely for pain score increased by 7.59, sign and symptom score increased by 7.09, ADL score increased by 2.76 and quality of life score increased by 4.26. There was a significant effect (p = 0.000) of joint gymnastics training interventions on improving knowledge and functional abilities.

Conclusion: There is an effect of joint gymnastics exercise interventions on improving knowledge and functional abilities. Suggestion: the application of joint gymnastics exercises is needed as an additional intervention in the community and to improve functional ability in the elderly.

Background: Non-infectious diseases, especially strokes, are increasing in Indonesia. The problem that occurs at this time is that there are still many families who do not know or don’t know at all about the early detection of stroke attacks. The study aims to determine the relationship between family response time in bringing stroke patients to the hospital and the severity of stroke patients at H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan.

Methods: This research is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research population is unknown with a total sample of 35 people, where the sample is taken based on a purposive sampling technique, and data collection uses the NHISS instrument.

Results: The results of the study find that the median response time value was 4.00 and the SD value is 42.33, while the median stroke patient severity is 21.00 and the SD value is 14.248. Based on Spearman's rho test results, the p-value is 0.008 < α = 0.05, meaning that there is a correlation between family response time and the severity of stroke patients. The correlation coefficient value is 0.441, which means that the faster the family's response time in bringing the patient to the hospital, the lighter the stroke patient's severity.

Conclusion: It is hoped that the family will be able to carry out an initial stroke assessment at home by looking at a smile that tilts to one side, half of the body is weak and speaks pelo, and immediately takes the patient to the hospital.
