Methods: Type of research is Quasi Experiment with a non-rondomised control group pre-post test design. There were 32 respondents including in this research using purposive sampling to select the sample. The research data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Test to determine the effect on the intervention group and control group, then tested using the Mann Whitney test to determine the effectiveness difference between a intervention group and control group. Results: the Wilcoxon Test showed that there was an effect of a combination softball handlingand ROM on muscle strength in non haemoragic stroke patients ( p value 0.000) , and there was an effect on the control group without intervention ( p value 0.003 ). While the Mann Whitney test showed that the combination group was more effective in increasing the muscle strength p value = 0.001 (

Introduction: Salivary pH or acidity level changes have detrimental effects on the teeth and oral mucosa which will lead to complications of the periodontal disease. Water decoction of the leaves of Moringa Olivera contains flavonoids that act as an anti-inflammatory. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of Moringa leaves mouthwash against salivary pH of patients with Diabetes Mellitus. Methods: This study design is a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest with the control group by measuring the pH of saliva before and after rinsing with a decoction of the leaves of 50%, 100%, Moringa Olivera and the boiled water. Respondents were patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and two at hospitals and health centers in Semarang as many as 90 respondents specified by purposive sampling technique divided into three groups. Result: The results showed no effect of gargling decoction of the leaves of 50%, 100% Moringa, and the boiled water on the pH saliva of DM patients. Conclusion: Moringa leaf herb cannot be used as a drop of mouthwash to raise the pH of patients' saliva with Diabetes Mellitus

Background : Surgery will cause anxiety. One way to reduce anxiety in preoperative patients is through health education using leaflet media. Leaflets are pieces of paper that contain writing and images to convey a message and are easy to carry. Purpose : This study was to analyze the effect of health education using leaflet media on anxiety levels in preoperative patients at Ungaran Hospital. Methods : This study used Quasi-Experiment with the design of two group pre-post. Bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon test. The sample amounted to 30 respondents consisting of 15 respondents in the intervention group and 15 respondents in the control group using the Consecutive Sampling approach that met the inclusion criteria. Anxiety level assessment was given twice before and after treatment and anxiety levels were measured using the HARS (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale) questionnaire. Results : The results showed that there was an effect of health education using leaflet media on anxiety levels (p=0,001) and there was an effect of health education without leaflets on anxiety levels (p=0,001). The post-test scores of the intervention group 9,13 and the control group 15,27. Conclusion : Health education using leaflet media can be applied as an alternative to delivering information before surgery to reduce anxiety.

Pasien yang dirawat di ruang Intensive Care Unit (ICU) merupakan pasien kritis yang dalam keadaan terancam jiwanya karena kegagalan atau disfungsi pada satu atau multipel organ yang disertai gangguan hemodinamik. Pasien kritis dalam keadaan penurunan kesadaran memiliki keterbatasan dalam mobilisasi, yang berdampak terhadap tekanan darah dan saturasi oksigen yang tidak stabil. Salah satu intervensi yang dapat dilakukan untuk menangani hal tersebut dengan mobilisasi progresif level I berupa head of bed, ROM, dan rotasi lateral. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh mobilisasi progresif level I terhadap tekanan darah dan saturasi oksigen pada pasien kritis dengan penurunan kesadaran di ruang ICU. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pra eksperimental dengan rancangan pre-test and post-test one group design. Responden penelitian ditetapkan dengan non probability sampling dengan metode total sampling. Penelitian dilaksanakan di ruang ICU pada 15 responden yang terdiri dari 10 responden perempuan dan 5 responden laki-laki dan memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Uji dependent t-test menunjukkan ada pengaruh mobilisasi progresif level I terhadap tekanan darah sistolik (p = 0,024), tekanan diastolik (p = 0,002), dan saturasi oksigen (p = 0,000). Mobilisasi Progresif Level I dapat meningkatkan tekanan darah dan saturasi oksigen pada pasien kritis dengan penurunan kesadaran. Mobilisasi Progresif Level I dapat dijadikan salah satu intervensi keperawatan untuk meningkatkan tekanan darah dan saturasi oksigen pasien kritis dengan penurunan kesadaran dengan tekanan darah di bawah normal. Kata kunci: Mobilisasi progresif level I, tekanan darah, saturasi oksigen, pasien kritis. AbstractThe effect of progressive level I mobilization on blood pressure and oxygen saturation in critical patients with decreased awareness. Patients who are treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are critical patients who are in danger of failure or dysfunction in one or multiple organs accompanied by hemodynamic disturbances. Critical patients in a state of reduced consciousness have limitations in mobilization, which have an impact on blood pressure and unstable oxygen saturation. One intervention that can be done to deal with this is with progressive level I mobilization in the form of head of bed, ROM, and lateral rotation. This study aims to determine the effect of progressive level I mobilization on blood pressure and oxygen saturation in critical patients with decreased awareness in the ICU. This research method uses pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test one group design. Research respondents were determined by non-probability sampling with total sampling method. The study was conducted in the ICU room in 15 respondents consisting of 10 female respondents and 5 male respondents and met the inclusion criteria. The dependent t-test showed that there was an effect of progressive level I mobilization on systolic blood pressure (p= 0.024), diastolic pressure (p= 0.002), and oxygen saturation (p= 0.000). Level I Progressive Mobilization can increase blood pressure and oxygen saturation in critical patients with decreased consciousness. Level I Progressive Mobilization can be used as one of the nursing interventions to increase blood pressure and oxygen saturation of critical patients with decreased consciousness with below normal blood pressure.
