Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic condition that causes impaired heart function in pumping blood, which can reduce oxygen levels in the body. The increasing incidence of CHF in Indonesia requires appropriate treatment to improve patient health status. One of the evidence-based practice (EBP) interventions that can be applied is the provision of a semi-Fowler position to increase oxygen saturation in CHF patients. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of providing a semi-Fowler position in increasing oxygen saturation in CHF patients undergoing treatment in the inpatient room of Siti Fatimah Hospital, South Sumatra Province. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method on three CHF patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and oxygen saturation measurements using an oximeter before and after the semi-Fowler position intervention for three days. The results showed an increase in oxygen saturation after the application of the semi-Fowler position in all respondents. In Mr. M, there was an increase in average oxygen saturation of 6%, in Mr. N by 3.3%, and in Mrs. N by 4.7%.

One of the health issues that can lead to significant consequences, including heart disease and organ damage, is hypertension. For hypertensive patients, non-pharmacological treatments such as progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) offer an alternative to reduce discomfort and blood pressure. This study uses a quantitative methodology and a quasi-experimental design. For two weeks, 66 hypertensive patients from Puskesmas Bangetayu Semarang participated in the ROP intervention. The T-Test and Wilcoxon statistical tests were used to measure blood pressure and pain levels before and after the intervention. According to the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), ROP therapy reduced pain from 2.68 to 1.76 and systolic blood pressure from an average of 150.15 mmHg to 133.64 mmHg. With a p-value of less than 0.05, statistical analysis revealed a significant difference. It has been proven that progressive muscle relaxation helps hypertensive individuals with their pain and blood pressure. This approach can be used both independently and in healthcare settings as a simple and safe non-pharmacological treatment. the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on pain and blood pressure in hypertensive patients

Excessive mucus or secretions in the lungs are a common symptom of bronchopneumonia in children. The buildup of thick phlegm will be difficult to expel and can block the child's respiratory tract. One way to relieve a blocked nose and thin phlegm is by mixing eucalyptus oil and hot water. The ability of eucalyptus oil to break down mucus is caused by cineole. The nursing student's final goal is to present a research synopsis on the use of hot steam therapy along with eucalyptus oil to clear the airways of ineffective bronchopneumonia in children. Using a case study design with three (3) respondents and a mixture of hot water steam and eucalyptus oil, this research uses case study techniques and a nursing process approach. Children aged between three and four years can benefit greatly from a treatment that involves inhaling eucalyptus oil vapors for ten to fifteen minutes to clear the respiratory tract and reduce the viscosity of mucus.

Emesis gravidarum, or nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy, is common and affects the health and comfort of first-trimester pregnant women. Persistent symptoms can cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, reduced nutrient intake, and psychological distress, potentially impacting maternal and fetal health. Although pharmacological treatments exist, many pregnant women prefer non-pharmacological methods due to concerns about fetal safety. Aromatherapy, using essential oils such as lemon, peppermint, and lavender, has been explored as a complementary therapy to reduce nausea and vomiting through olfactory stimulation and autonomic nervous system modulation. This study aimed to assess the effect of aromatherapy on reducing emesis gravidarum in first-trimester pregnant women at Puskesmas Pagatan. A quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group was employed, involving 40 participants divided into an intervention group (n=20) and a control group (n=20). The intervention group received lemon essential oil inhalation twice daily for seven days, while the control group continued standard antenatal care. Results showed significant reductions in nausea severity and vomiting frequency in the intervention group (p < 0.001). In contrast, the control group showed minimal, non-significant changes. These findings suggest that aromatherapy is an effective, safe, and culturally acceptable non-pharmacological approach for managing emesis gravidarum, enhancing maternal comfort and well-being during early pregnancy.
