Congenital abnormalities are abnormalities in the growth of fetal organ structures from birth that can be caused by genetic or non-genetic factors. This abnormality is often an indication for a cesarean section, which is an operation to deliver a baby. This Final Nursing Scientific Paper aims to analyze nursing care for post-cesarean section patients with indications of congenital abnormalities and the application of evidence-based practice of effleurage massage therapy to overcome acute post-operative pain. The method used is a descriptive method with the application of effleurage massage therapy to the nursing problem of acute pain in patient Mrs. I, a 37-year-old woman who experienced pain in the wound after a cesarean section. The results of the assessment showed that the patient was in a compos mentis state and complained of pain that felt like being cut in the lower abdominal area with a pain scale of 6 on a scale of 0-10. The pain was intermittent. The diagnosis that emerged was acute pain related to the cesarean section surgical procedure. To overcome this problem, nursing actions were carried out in the form of effleurage massage therapy for 3x24 hours. After the procedure, results showed a significant reduction in the patient's pain level. The patient reported reduced pain after the therapy. These results suggest that effleurage massage therapy can be effective in reducing acute pain in post-cesarean section patients with congenital abnormalities. This therapy offers benefits as a non-pharmacological approach to managing post-operative pain. Implementing this therapy can be an important part of nursing care, helping to improve patient comfort and accelerate post-operative recovery. Furthermore, effleurage massage therapy also has a positive impact on increasing relaxation and reducing patient anxiety.

Pregnancy is a physiological process accompanied by significant physical and psychological changes in pregnant women. One of the most common complaints, particularly in the third trimester, is back pain and decreased physical fitness. Prenatal exercise is a non-pharmacological method proven effective in improving fitness, reducing discomfort, and preparing both physically and mentally for childbirth. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of pregnant women in Kedungjaya Village, Kedawung Sub-district, Cirebon Regency, through education and practical sessions on prenatal exercise. The method included a 60-minute educational session covering the definition, objectives, benefits, and precautions before performing prenatal exercise, followed by a 90-minute practical session guided by a qualified instructor. The results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of the benefits of prenatal exercise and their ability to implement it independently. This program is expected to improve maternal fitness, reduce physical complaints during pregnancy, and optimize physical and psychological readiness for labor.

This community service program was implemented to address the needs of farmers in Kalicaah Village, Tanjung Jaya Village, Panimbang District, for an affordable, simple, and user-friendly fertilizing tool. Traditionally, the application of solid fertilizer has been done manually, which not only leads to inefficiency but also significantly increases the physical workload of farmers. To overcome this issue, the program team designed a solid fertilizer spreader using appropriate technology, constructed from recycled materials such as PVC pipes and used water gallons. This innovation was aimed at creating a sustainable, low-cost solution for the local agricultural community. The program’s implementation involved several key activities, including identifying the farmers' challenges, conducting assembly training sessions, demonstrating the tool’s use, and running direct field trials in local farms. The results showed that the use of the newly developed fertilizer spreader led to a 45% reduction in the time spent applying fertilizer, which directly contributed to more efficient farming practices. Additionally, there was a significant reduction in physical complaints, particularly lower back pain, which had been a common issue due to the manual labor involved in fertilizing. The tool proved to be easy to construct, requiring minimal technical knowledge, and the farmers were able to adopt the technology independently. The high rate of adoption among farmers further emphasizes the tool’s potential for widespread use. The success of this program also suggests that this simple, affordable technology could be replicated in other agricultural regions, benefiting more communities by improving work efficiency, reducing physical strain, and fostering a sustainable approach to farming practices.

Home industries are small- to medium-scale production units operated within or near households, typically relying on family members or a limited local workforce, with modest capital and without large-scale industrial technology. In furniture production, the main outputs are household items such as chairs, tables, wardrobes, beds, and shelves, while by-products include sawdust and unused wood pieces. Airborne pollutants— particularly wood dust (PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅) from sanding and cutting, along with fumes from paints, solvents, and adhesives—pose significant short- and long-term health risks to workers. This community service project, in collaboration with higher education institutions, aimed to establish long-term control measures. Initial steps involved measuring PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ concentrations and assessing workers’ blood oxygen levels. Using a descriptive approach, workplace conditions were compared before and after work. Findings revealed a correlation between dust levels and blood oxygen saturation, supporting recommendations for long-term occupational health interventions.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common oral mucosal diseases, characterized by recurrent and painful ulcerations of the mobile or non-keratinized oral mucosa. These lesions are often found on the tongue, labial, and buccal mucosa. Clinically, RAS is divided into three types: minor, major, and herpetiform. The minor type is the most common and has smaller lesions, while the major type has larger lesions and often leaves scars. The herpetiform type is characterized by numerous small lesions appearing simultaneously. Factors influencing the immunological response in RAS include genetic predisposition, viral and bacterial infections, food allergies, vitamin and microelement deficiencies, systemic diseases, stress, and hormonal disorders. Several studies have shown that these factors can trigger or worsen the occurrence of RAS lesions. In addition, emotional and physical stress can contribute to increasing the frequency or duration of ulceration. A 36-year-old female patient presented with pain on the inside of the lower lip that had lasted for 10 days. An intraoral examination revealed a unilateral, yellowish-white ulcer on the inner lower lip surrounded by a distinct, reddish erythema. The lesion was approximately 2-3 mm in size, single in size, soft in consistency, and symptomatic. Based on these findings, the treatment plan includes a complete blood count (CBC), which measures various blood components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This examination is necessary to obtain further information regarding the cause of RAS in this patient. RAS is a multifactorial lesion that can occur in the oral mucosa. Supportive tests such as a complete blood count (CBC) are very useful in establishing the diagnosis and providing further guidance in planning appropriate therapy. Appropriate medication is expected to help the patient recover from complaints and prevent recurrence.   Keywords : Recurrent Apthous Stomatitis, Laboratory, Stress

Uric acid is a byproduct of purine breakdown, which is a component found in DNA and food. Purine is broken down into uric acid in the body, and if not excreted properly, it can lead to the accumulation of uric acid in the blood, known as hyperuricemia. If left untreated, this condition can develop into gout, which is characterized by joint pain and inflammation, particularly in the foot joints. In addition to medical treatment through medications, uric acid levels can also be naturally reduced through the consumption of certain foods, one of which is pineapple juice. Pineapple juice is known to have beneficial properties in reducing uric acid levels. Pineapple contains vitamin C, flavonoids, and bromelain. Vitamin C plays an important role in increasing the excretion of uric acid through urine, thereby helping to lower uric acid levels in the body. In addition, the flavonoids in pineapple act as antioxidants, inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is involved in the purine metabolism that produces uric acid. By inhibiting this enzyme, the process of uric acid formation can be reduced. Bromelain, a protease enzyme found in pineapple, also provides additional benefits. Bromelain helps accelerate the healing of swelling and joint pain caused by uric acid, as well as having anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce inflammation. This study was conducted using a case study method with a one-group pretest-posttest design to observe changes in uric acid levels in respondents after consuming pineapple juice. For 7 days, four respondents consumed 200 ml of pineapple juice per day. The results showed a reduction in uric acid levels in all four respondents, indicating that pineapple juice is effective as a supportive therapy in lowering uric acid levels. These findings suggest the potential of pineapple juice as a natural alternative to help manage uric acid levels.

Injectable contraception is a type of hormonal contraceptive which is divided into two types, namely combined injection contraceptives and progestin injection contraceptives. One of the frequently used injectable contraceptives is the 3-month injectable contraceptive containing Depo-Provera (Depo Medroxy Progesterone Acetate). This contraceptive has good effectiveness, but has some side effects, such as menstrual disorders, weight gain, nausea, headaches, breast pain, and so on. Menstrual disorders that occur in the form of amenorrhea, hypermenorrhea, and spotting. Side effects that arise are the biggest cause of acceptors to stop using injectable contraceptives. A number of women complained that the use of contraceptive methods caused menstrual problems. However, it is hormonal in nature and not everyone experiences the same complaints. To find out " There is a long-standing relationship between the use of Depo Medroxy Progesterone Acetate KB injections and menstrual disorders at BPM Rosalina Munthe, in 2025. This type of research uses a cross sectional research design with chi square with a sampling technique that is total sampling. The results showed that the p-value of the relationship between DMPA injection duration and menstrual disorders was 0.03 <0.05. There is a long-standing relationship between the use of Depo Medroxy Progesterone Acetate KB Injections and Menstrual Disorders at BPM Rosalina Munthe, in 2025.

Background: Urinary catheter insertion is an invasive medical procedure that often causes pain due to friction between the catheter and the urethra. This pain can lead to discomfort and stress for the patient. Based on initial observations in the Emergency Department (ED) over a period of three days, it was found that all patients undergoing urinary catheter insertion complained of pain. As an alternative pain management approach, one non-pharmacological method that can be used is a combination of Quranic murotal therapy and deep breathing relaxation techniques. This therapy is chosen because it is believed to have a calming effect and can reduce the perception of pain without the need for medication. Objective: This study aims to determine the difference in pain levels before and after the application of the combination of Quranic murotal therapy with deep breathing relaxation techniques during urinary catheter insertion in the ED. Method: This research uses a descriptive case study design involving two respondents. Both patients received an intervention consisting of Quranic murotal therapy played during the procedure, accompanied by instructions to practice deep breathing relaxation techniques. The therapy was applied during the urinary catheter insertion to assess changes in pain levels experienced by the patients. Results: The results showed that the pain level of the first respondent decreased from moderate pain to mild pain after the intervention. The second respondent experienced a reduction in pain from severe to moderate after the combined therapy was applied. Both respondents reported improved comfort after the therapy. Conclusion: The combination of Quranic murotal therapy with deep breathing relaxation techniques was proven effective in reducing pain levels in patients undergoing urinary catheter insertion in the ED. This therapy can serve as a beneficial non-pharmacological alternative for reducing pain during invasive medical procedures.

Pain is an unpleasant sensation that can interfere with an individual's quality of life and requires effective management. Synthetic analgesics such as ketorolac, codeine, etoricoxib, and celecoxib are commonly used to relieve pain, but long-term use can cause adverse side effects, including gastrointestinal disturbances, dependence, and cardiovascular risks. Therefore, it is important to find safer, natural alternatives. One promising alternative is the extract of the dragon’s tail leaf (Rhaphidophora pinnata), a plant traditionally used in Indonesian medicine as a pain reliever. This study aims to evaluate and compare the analgesic effects of Rhaphidophora pinnata leaf extract with several synthetic drugs using the writhing test on male mice (Mus musculus). The mice were induced with pain by injecting a 0.5% acetic acid solution. The treatments included ketorolac, codeine, etoricoxib, celecoxib, and Rhaphidophora pinnata leaf extract. The results showed that all treatments, including both synthetic drugs and Rhaphidophora pinnata leaf extract, produced significant analgesic effects compared to the negative control (Na CMC 0.5%). Ketorolac showed the highest effectiveness, followed by codeine, etoricoxib, and celecoxib. Although the Rhaphidophora pinnata leaf extract showed potential as a natural analgesic, its effectiveness varied among individual test animals. Some mice showed a better response to the leaf extract, but overall, the analgesic effect was still lower than that of synthetic drugs. These findings support the use of medicinal plants as a safer alternative to synthetic analgesic drugs. Moreover, this study provides a foundation for further research aimed at isolating active compounds from Rhaphidophora pinnata leaf extract to develop more effective and safer pain-relieving medications.

Primary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain without any organic abnormalities, commonly experienced by adolescent girls, which affects daily activities and quality of life. Non-pharmacological treatments such as warm compresses and lavender aromatherapy are considered effective and safe alternatives. This study aimed to analyze the difference in effectiveness between the application of warm compresses and lavender aromatherapy in reducing dysmenorrhea pain among female students at SMA Ummu Rahmah Patumbak. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest two-group comparison approach. A total of 20 respondents were divided into two treatment groups. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed a significant reduction in pain in both groups (p<0.05), with the average pain score in the warm compress group decreasing from 5.50 to 0.55, and in the lavender aromatherapy group from 5.30 to 0.65. In conclusion, both interventions effectively reduced dysmenorrhea pain, with warm compresses showing greater effectiveness.

Silicotuberculosis is a complex lung disease, a combination of silicosis and tuberculosis (TB). Silicosis is a disease caused by the inhalation of silica particles, which can lead to pulmonary fibrosis, while TB is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Long-term exposure to silica dust can cause silicosis and also increase the risk of TB infection, especially in countries with a high TB burden. Workers exposed to silica dust in the mining, construction, and manufacturing industries are among the groups most at risk. The diagnosis of silicotuberculosis is often difficult because the clinical and radiological symptoms of the two diseases often overlap. Symptoms, such as chronic cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain, can be very similar in silicosis and TB, often delaying a correct diagnosis. The pathophysiology of silicotuberculosis involves impaired function of macrophages, immune cells that play a role in fighting infection, and a compromised immune response due to silica exposure. These disruptions facilitate the progression of TB infection, further worsening the patient's health. Primary management of silicotuberculosis includes controlling TB infection with standard anti-tuberculosis drug therapy (OTT) and preventing silica exposure. Preventing occupational exposure to silica dust is crucial to reducing the risk of developing the disease. The prognosis of the disease is greatly influenced by the severity of pulmonary fibrosis and delay in diagnosis. The more severe the fibrosis, the worse the prognosis. Therefore, preventing silica dust exposure, along with routine TB screening for high-risk workers, is crucial to reducing the incidence of silicotuberculosis. Furthermore, education about the risks of the disease is crucial to raise awareness among workers and the general public.

This study explores the semantic fields of love and loss in Lord Huron’s song "The Night We Met," using a lexical semantics framework. Song lyrics, known for their emotional depth, serve as a rich source for analyzing affective meaning, particularly through word selection and repetition. The primary research question addresses how semantic fields are constructed within minimalist lyrical compositions to convey complex emotional states. In this analysis, a qualitative descriptive method is applied to examine the song's lexical items and group them into thematic semantic fields. The study finds that the song uses a concise set of lexemes connected to themes of memory, temporal disorientation, grief, and love. These thematic fields intertwine, interacting to depict a narrative that encapsulates unresolved emotional pain. Love and loss are not presented in isolation but are embedded in a broader emotional context, where words evoke both the sweetness of past affection and the sorrow of its absence. The overlap of these semantic fields reflects the internal conflict experienced by the narrator, torn between cherished memories and the painful realization of loss. The study concludes that despite the song’s brevity, the lyrics effectively evoke profound emotional responses through a meticulous choice of words and thematic consistency. The semantic fields constructed within the song illustrate how even minimal language can convey intense emotional content, providing valuable linguistic insight into the function of lyricism in popular music. The research demonstrates the ability of short, poignant lyrics to engage listeners emotionally, revealing how lyricists use limited language to encapsulate complex feelings of love and loss.

In contemporary media, characters who self-diagnose with psychological disorders often reflect deeper emotional and psychological complexities rather than clinically accurate conditions. One compelling example is found in the British dark comedy-drama series The End of The F**ing World*, where James claims to be a psychopath. However, this self-diagnosis raises critical psychological questions: Is James truly incapable of empathy, or is his label a defense mechanism masking unresolved trauma from his childhood? By applying Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory—particularly the structural model of personality (id, ego, superego)—alongside Anna Freud’s theory of defense mechanisms, this study investigates the role of self-diagnosis not as an objective or medically valid truth, but as a psychological shield to avoid emotional vulnerability and confrontation with repressed pain. James' behaviors are analyzed through selected scenes and dialogues in the series, with additional triangulation from the original graphic novel to support the interpretation. The analysis reveals that James’ declaration of being a psychopath aligns more with mechanisms such as repression, projection, and emotional numbing, rather than the clinical criteria of psychopathy. His emotional detachment is revealed to be a constructed barrier stemming from maternal loss, neglect, and fear of connection. The study concludes that self-diagnosis in this context acts as a subconscious strategy to cope with unresolved trauma and to maintain psychological equilibrium amid inner conflict. This case exemplifies how fictional representations can mirror real-life struggles with identity, mental health, and the desire to label complex emotions through simplified diagnostic terms, especially in youth who lack proper support systems.  

Adolescent girls commonly experience menstrual disorders, with a 67.2% incidence of dysmenorrhea and 63.1% of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhea, is one of the most frequent reproductive health issues experienced by women, affecting both adolescents and adults. This condition can significantly hinder daily activities, which calls for appropriate treatment. Dysmenorrhea can be managed through both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. While pharmacological treatments offer quick relief, non-pharmacological approaches are considered safer as they do not induce side effects, unlike medications. One effective form of non-pharmacological therapy is acupressure, which has shown promising results in alleviating menstrual pain. According to a study by Latifah and colleagues, acupressure was proven to be effective in reducing menstrual discomfort. In line with this, a community outreach initiative was conducted to educate and train adolescent girls on acupressure techniques as a form of self-care. From May 5 to 9, 2025, acupressure education was provided to 30 female students at a local school. The training focused on teaching students how to apply acupressure to specific pressure points that relieve menstrual pain, without the need for medication or herbal remedies. Pre- and post-training assessments showed a significant increase in students’ knowledge and skills related to the practice of acupressure. The results indicated that students were able to effectively apply acupressure techniques and felt more confident in managing menstrual pain independently. This approach not only offered immediate relief but also empowered the students with a long-term strategy to manage dysmenorrhea in the future. This activity demonstrated positive outcomes, suggesting that acupressure is a valuable, sustainable solution for menstrual pain relief among adolescents.

Background: A Caesarean section (CS) is a birthing procedure performed by making an incision in the mother's abdominal wall and uterus to deliver the baby, usually performed when normal vaginal delivery is not possible due to medical indications for the mother or fetus, such as placenta previa, abnormal presentation or position of the fetus, and other conditions that pose a risk of medical complications that endanger the mother and fetus. At Arjawinangun Regional Hospital, 1,491 CS births were recorded in 2021. One of the problems that often occurs in post-Cesarean section patients is impaired physical mobility, which causes limitations in the ability to move independently. This disorder needs to be addressed immediately so as not to hinder the recovery process. To overcome this problem, early mobilization intervention is very important. Early mobilization is a way to help patients increase their physical activity after undergoing surgery. Objective: This study aims to determine the description of the implementation of early mobilization in Mrs. M with impaired physical mobility after Caesarean section in the Dewi Sartika room, Arjawinangun Regional Hospital, Cirebon Regency, and to assess its effectiveness in overcoming these impaired physical mobility. Implementation method: This study used a case study method with research subjects in the form of patients who experienced impaired physical mobility after Sectio Caesarea at RSUD Arjawinangun Cirebon Regency. The implementation process involved providing early mobilization instructions which included light movement exercises tailored to the patient's condition. Results: The results of the study showed that after the implementation of early mobilization, impaired physical mobility in patients after Sectio Caesarea could be resolved significantly. Patients showed increased ability to move, reduced pain, and accelerated the post-operative recovery process.

Objective: aims to determine the benefits of providing theraband exercise and ultrasound in treating ankle sprain patients. Method: This research used a case report method which was carried out at Bung Karno Hospital, Surakarta by taking a sample of one of the sprain patients by observing and providing therapy for 3 sessions. Then, measurements were taken every time therapy was carried out. Results: in this study, the results obtained from the physiotherapy intervention were an increase in muscle strength, a decrease in pain, an increase in Range of Motion and an increase in functional activity. Conclusion: physiotherapy management by providing a program in the form of electrotherapy in the form of ultrasound and exercise therapy using thera-band exercise for ankle sprained patients which was carried out in 3 training sessions gave positive results with a decrease in pain, an increase in muscle strength, and an increase in Range of Motion.

The Caesarean Section (C-Section) procedure is one of the most common surgical methods for childbirth, performed through an incision in the abdominal wall (laparotomy) and the uterine wall (hysterotomy). Despite its effectiveness in ensuring maternal and fetal safety, one of the major postoperative complaints reported by patients is pain. Pain itself is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, which is subjective and can only be described by the person experiencing it. Unmanaged pain may negatively affect postoperative recovery, emotional well-being, mobility, and breastfeeding initiation. Therefore, appropriate nursing care interventions are essential to help patients achieve comfort and recovery. This scientific paper explores the implementation of sacral plexus therapy as part of nursing interventions to address pain problems in post-C-section patients. The study employed a case study approach that applied the nursing care process, which includes comprehensive assessment, formulation of nursing diagnoses, planning, implementation of interventions, and evaluation. Nursing care was carried out over a period of 72 hours (3x24 hours), with pain intensity and patient comfort levels monitored throughout the process. The evaluation results showed that all nursing diagnoses related to pain were successfully resolved within the given timeframe. Specifically, the application of sacral plexus therapy proved effective in reducing the intensity of postoperative pain and improving overall comfort, enabling patients to gradually regain mobility and adapt to their postpartum condition. In conclusion, sacral plexus therapy can serve as a complementary and non-pharmacological intervention within nursing care to effectively manage pain in post-C-section patients. These findings highlight the importance of innovative and holistic approaches in nursing practice to improve patient recovery and quality of care after surgical childbirth.

Significant physical and psychological changes occur throughout pregnancy, especially in the third trimester (weeks 27–40).  Lower back pain, frequently caused by poor posture, changes in the curvature of the spine, and increasing body weight that shifts the center of gravity forward, is a common issue during this time.  Between 30% and 78% of pregnant women report experiencing lower back discomfort.  Maintaining physical health, endurance, and mental preparedness for childbirth are key objectives of prenatal exercise.  This study aimed to examine the effect of pregnancy exercise on lower back discomfort in third-trimester pregnant women at the Likupang Community Health Center.  The study used a one-group pretest-posttest design and was pre-experimental in nature, with the Likupang Community Health Center serving as the research site.  Fifteen pregnant women from the Likupang Community Health Center were chosen as the study sample.  The results indicated that pregnancy exercise had a significant impact on reducing back pain (p-value 0. 000), showing a clear effect between pregnancy exercise and the reduction of lower back pain (p-value 0. 000), as confirmed by the bivariate statistical test.  The findings suggest that pregnancy exercise can effectively alleviate lower back discomfort in third-trimester pregnant women.

Gastritis usually occurs in people with irregular eating patterns and consuming foods that stimulate stomach acid production. Inflammation of the gastric mucosa or lining can be caused by various factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of soursop leaf decoction on reducing gastritis pain. This research used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample size was 15 people, using accidental sampling. This study was conducted from June 12 to 18, 2025. Data were obtained through observation sheets using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Normality was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and data analysis used the paired t-test. The results showed that before the soursop leaf decoction, the average pain score for respondents was 0.074, while after the decoction, the pain score decreased to 0.151, a decrease of 0.007 with a P-value of 0.001 (<0.05). Conclusion: The soursop leaf decoction is effective in reducing gastritis pain. Respondents are encouraged to regularly consume the soursop leaf decoction when experiencing pain, and it can serve as a reference for future research using different variables.
