Hypertension is a condition characterized by an increase in blood pressure, defined as systolic values ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic values ≥ 90 mmHg, and it remains one of the most common health problems experienced by the elderly. Non-pharmacological approaches such as low-impact aerobic exercise are recommended, as this type of exercise is performed at a low to moderate intensity for 20–50 minutes, three times a week. It has been shown to strengthen and maintain the functions of the heart, lungs, blood circulation, muscles, and joints, thereby contributing positively to the management of high blood pressure. This study aims to determine the effect of low-impact aerobic exercise on blood pressure among elderly patients with hypertension through the application of evidence-based practice. A quantitative case study approach was employed to gain a deeper understanding of changes in blood pressure following the intervention. Three elderly respondents diagnosed with hypertension were involved and instructed to perform low-impact aerobic exercise for three consecutive days. The results showed a decrease in blood pressure among all respondents, although the outcomes varied. The first respondent experienced changes from 140/80 mmHg to 130/70 mmHg and 130/90 mmHg, the second respondent from 150/90 mmHg to 160/80 mmHg and then 150/70 mmHg, and the third respondent from 150/80 mmHg to 110/70 mmHg and 130/70 mmHg. These findings indicate that low-impact aerobic exercise has a positive effect in reducing blood pressure, despite some variability between individuals. In conclusion, low-impact aerobic exercise is proven to help control blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This study highlights the importance of encouraging hypertensive individuals to adopt regular and independent low-impact aerobic exercise as a simple strategy to maintain stable blood pressure and improve overall quality of life.

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is an inflammatory condition of the lateral epicondyle commonly caused by repetitive overuse of the forearm extensor muscles. It is characterized by pain, limited joint range of motion, decreased muscle strength, and reduced functional capacity. Physiotherapy interventions, particularly ultrasound and exercise therapy, have been widely applied to reduce pain and restore functional performance. This study employed a case study design involving a 42-year-old female patient diagnosed with left-sided tennis elbow. The intervention was conducted over four therapy sessions. The modalities consisted of ultrasound, providing thermal and micromassage effects to reduce pain, combined with exercise therapy, including passive stretching to increase soft tissue flexibility and eccentric exercise to improve tendon strength and function. After four sessions, the patient showed significant improvement, including reduced pain during movement and palpation, increased joint range of motion in elbow flexion-extension, forearm pronation-supination, and wrist dorsiflexion-palmarflexion. Muscle strength, particularly in the extensors, pronators, supinators, and wrist dorsiflexors, also improved. Functional activity, measured using the PRTEE scale, demonstrated notable enhancement from mild disability to better functional independence. The combination of ultrasound, passive stretching, and eccentric exercise is effective in reducing pain, enhancing range of motion, strengthening muscles, and improving functional ability in patients with left-sided tennis elbow.

Introduction: Repurchase intention is one of the important indicators in the world of health services, especially in hospitals. XYZ General Hospital must evaluate the services provided to patients by understanding patient perceptions, particularly through patient experience, as 50% of respondents expressed unwillingness to recommend or reuse the hospital’s services. This highlights a potential gap between service delivery and patient expectations. Method The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of patient experience, brand image, and trust on repurchase intention at XYZ Hospital, with attitude as an intervening variable. This study employed a quantitative explanatory research design, involving 182 patients from outpatient and inpatient units who had visited more than once. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) method, supported by the SmartPLS software. Results: The results revealed that patient experience, brand image, and trust significantly affect patient attitudes, which in turn directly influence repurchase intention. Attitude serves as a mediating variable between patient experiences, brand image, trust, and repurchase intention. Simultaneous testing confirmed that all independent variables have a joint effect on repurchase intention. Among the variables tested, attitude showed the strongest direct influence on repurchase intention, while patient experience had the highest indirect effect through attitude. Conclusion: These findings underscore the critical role of patient experience in shaping positive perceptions of service quality, which contribute to strengthening brand image, increasing trust, and fostering patient attitudes that support future service utilization. Therefore, healthcare providers must prioritize improving communication, staff responsiveness, and patient-centered care to enhance overall experience, build loyalty, and ensure long-term sustainability of healthcare services.

In conclusion, the application of ice gel compresses to the chest and armpit locations did not show a significant effect on reducing body temperature in post-craniotomy patients.

Anxiety and sleep quality are two closely related aspects in patients undergoing surgical procedures. High levels of anxiety in the preoperative phase often result in decreased sleep quality, while poor sleep can exacerbate anxiety, thus affecting the postoperative recovery process. This study aims to compare anxiety levels and sleep quality in patients before and after surgery. The research design used was a quasi-experimental with a pre-post test approach. The study sample consisted of 119 respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique in the Kenanga Ward of Dr. H. Soewondo Kendal Regional Hospital. The instruments used included the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) questionnaire to measure anxiety levels and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with the help of SPSS version 25 software. The results showed a significant relationship between anxiety levels and sleep quality in both the pre- and postoperative phases (p = 0.000; p < 0.05). A total of 54.4% of patients with poor sleep quality before surgery showed improvement after surgery. Furthermore, in the group with moderate anxiety, 54.8% experienced a reduction to mild anxiety. In conclusion, reducing anxiety levels has been shown to positively impact patients' sleep quality after surgery.

Families of terminal patients often experience anxiety triggered by the deterioration of the patient’s condition, limited information received, and feelings of loss due to facing separation from their loved ones in a critical situation. This anxiety may occur at varying levels, ranging from mild to panic, and if not properly managed, it can affect the psychological well-being of family members as well as their ability to support the patient. Therefore, appropriate interventions are needed to help reduce the psychological burden of families. One approach that can be applied is mindfulness combined with dhikr, which integrates full awareness with spiritual practice to calm thoughts and emotions. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach without a control group, involving 20 respondents who were family members accompanying terminal patients in the ICU. Respondents were selected using total sampling according to the inclusion criteria. The research instrument consisted of an anxiety observation questionnaire, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that before the intervention, all respondents experienced anxiety at different levels. After the intervention, there was a significant reduction, with 14 respondents (70%) in the mild anxiety category and 6 respondents (30%) reporting no anxiety. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-intervention. In conclusion, mindfulness and dhikr interventions were effective in reducing anxiety among family members accompanying terminal patients in the ICU. This method can be recommended as a spiritually based psychological support strategy to help families cope with critical situations more calmly and adaptively.

Postoperative consciousness recovery in patients who have received general anesthesia sometimes experiences delays, which can lead to postponing the transfer of patients to the recovery room. One approach that nurses can use to accelerate consciousness recovery after general anesthesia is by adjusting the patient’s sleeping position. This study aims to determine the effect of the semi-Fowler position on the length of consciousness recovery in postoperative patients with general anesthesia. The research method is quasi-experimental with a posttest-only control group design. The sample consisted of 42 postoperative patients with general anesthesia at RSUD dr. H. Soewondo Kendal, divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group, selected using consecutive sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using the independent sample t-test. The results showed that most patients were aged 36-45 years, male, with the most commonly used anesthetic being Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) and the duration of surgery was less than 1 hour. The average consciousness recovery time for patients in the semi-Fowler position was 11.19 minutes, categorized as quick recovery. Meanwhile, the average consciousness recovery time for patients in the supine position was 15.0 minutes, also categorized as quick recovery. The analysis showed a significant effect of the semi-Fowler position on the consciousness recovery time (p-value = 0.048). In conclusion, the semi-Fowler position can accelerate consciousness recovery time by 3.81 minutes compared to the supine position in postoperative patients with general anesthesia.
