The number of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis continues to increase. Fatigue is one of the complaints that often arise in patients undergoing hemodialysis (60-97%). This has a serious impact on the quality of life and daily activities. This study aims to provide an overview of the level of fatigue in CKD patients undergoing regular hemodialysis at Tabanan Hospital. This study used a quantitative descriptive design, involving 151 respondents through purposive sampling techniques. The instrument used was the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) questionnaire, with data analysis using descriptive and univariate statistics. The results of the study from a total of 151 respondents were obtained with moderate fatigue levels of 78 respondents (51.6%), severe fatigue as many as 41 (27.2%), and mild fatigue as many as 32 (21.2%). Moderate levels of fatigue are thought to be related to biological factors, especially anemia, where low hemoglobin levels lead to reduced oxygen supply to tissues and cause sustained fatigue. In addition, the patient's psychological adaptation to chronic diseases and hemodialysis routines undergone for a long period of time can form a coping mechanism so that the level of fatigue tends to be in the moderate category. Thus, moderate fatigue is a dominant problem in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis and requires special attention in nursing care

2025-12-28T14:01:40+07:00

Intravenous fluid management is a critical component of perioperative care in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The type of fluid administered may influence acid–base balance, electrolyte status, and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). This article aims to review the latest scientific evidence comparing the effects of 0.9% saline and balanced crystalloids in CKD patients in the perioperative setting. A narrative review was conducted by searching PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using keywords related to saline, balanced crystalloids, CKD, perioperative care, and AKI. Eligible articles included randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews published between 2015–2024. Results: Evidence from multiple studies indicates that balanced crystalloids are superior in maintaining acid–base stability, reducing chloride levels, and lowering the incidence of AKI compared to saline. Large trials such as SMART, SALT-ED, and BEST-Fluids demonstrated reduced major adverse kidney events and delayed graft function in the balanced group, although mortality outcomes remain inconsistent. Balanced crystalloids provide greater physiological advantages and renal protection compared to saline in CKD patients undergoing surgery. While mortality reduction has not been consistently observed, current evidence supports the use of balanced crystalloids as the preferred perioperative fluid, particularly in patients at high risk of AKI.

Keseimbangan Asam-Basa pada Pasien dengan Kronis Ginjal Penyakit PGK : Narative Review

2025-12-27T10:27:07+07:00

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health burden characterized by progressive loss of renal function and impaired acid–base regulation resulting from reduced hydrogen ion excretion and limited bicarbonate regeneration.These abnormalities frequently lead to chronic metabolic acidosis, contributing to disease progression and increasing perioperative risk in surgical patients.This narrative review evaluates the impact of intravenous fluid choice, specifically 0.9% saline versus balanced crystalloids, on acid–base homeostasis in CKD patients undergoing surgery. A critical analysis was performed using ten peer reviewed articles from reputable journals, focusing on the pathophysiology of acid–base disturbances in CKD, biochemical effects of perioperative fluids, and clinical outcomes related to fluid selection.The findings indicate that 0.9% saline, due to its high chloride concentration, is associated with hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and may worsen renal function.Conversely, balanced crystalloids contain metabolizable buffers such as lactate or acetate, preserve a more physiological strong ion difference, enhance acid–base stability, and are linked to a lower risk of acute kidney injury.In conclusion, balanced crystalloids are preferable to saline for perioperative fluid management in CKD patients, as they support better acid–base balance and may reduce postoperative complications. Individual patient factors and electrolyte status should guide perioperative therapy decisions.

2025-12-28T15:32:25+07:00

Background: Intravenous fluid management is a critical component of perioperative care in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The type of fluid administered may influence acid–base balance, electrolyte status, and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI).Purpose: This article aims to review the latest scientific evidence comparing the effects of 0.9% saline and balanced crystalloids in CKD patients in the perioperative setting. Methods: A narrative review was conducted by searching PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using keywords related to saline, balanced crystalloids, CKD, perioperative care, and AKI. Eligible articles included randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews published between 2015–2024. Results: Evidence from multiple studies indicates that balanced crystalloids are superior in maintaining acid–base stability, reducing chloride levels, and lowering the incidence of AKI compared to saline. Large trials such as SMART, SALT-ED, and BEST-Fluids demonstrated reduced major adverse kidney events and delayed graft function in the balanced group, although mortality outcomes remain inconsistent. Conclusion: Balanced crystalloids provide greater physiological advantages and renal protection compared to saline in CKD patients undergoing surgery. While mortality reduction has not been consistently observed, current evidence supports the use of balanced crystalloids as the preferred perioperative fluid, particularly in patients at high risk of AKI.

Efektivitas Kombinasi Aromaterapi Jahe dan Akupresur terhadap Penurunan Mual dan Muntah Pascaoperasi dengan Anestesi Spinal

2026-03-25T01:48:49+07:00

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are commonly experienced by patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. This condition occurs due to the activation of the vomiting center situated in the medulla oblongata, activated by inputs from the gastrointestinal tract, vestibular apparatus, and the pharmacological effects of anesthetic agents and opioids. This process involves multiple receptor pathways, including dopamine (D2), serotonin (5-HT3), muscarinic (M1), histamine (H1), neurokinin-1 (NK1), and opioid (?) receptors, which collectively regulate emetic reflexes via the Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone (CTZ). Ginger aromatherapy exerts antiemetic effects by suppressing serotonin (5-HT3) receptor activity, thereby diminishing stimulation of the vomiting center. Meanwhile, P6 acupressure influences the autonomic nervous system and promotes beta-endorphin secretion, contributing to the inhibition of nausea and vomiting reflexes. This research sought to evaluate the effectiveness of combining ginger aromatherapy with P6 acupressure in alleviating PONV. This research utilised a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group format and included 22 respondents chosen purposively. The assessment of symptoms was carried out using “the Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching (RINVR)”. Paired t-test analysis in the intervention group revealed a score reduction from 14.18 to 6.45 (p = 0.000), whereas the control group showed a change from 13.55 to 11.00 (p = 0.001). Independent t-test results on posttest scores confirmed a significant difference between groups (p = 0.000). These findings indicate that the combined intervention is effective in reducing PONV among spinal anesthesia patients

Transformasi Perilaku Preventif Remaja: Integrasi Kebijakan dan Motivasi Internal sebagai Kunci Berkelanjutan

2026-04-23T09:25:54+07:00

Maintaining preventive health behaviors among adolescents remains a significant challenge in building a resilient society. Compliance driven solely by external regulations is often temporary and fragile. To achieve sustainable behavioral transformation, a deep understanding of how policy frameworks interact with adolescent internal motivation is required. This study aims to analyze the relationship between policy support and adolescent motivation in internalizing long-term preventive behaviors. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 427 adolescents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Pearson correlation and linear regression tests to measure the strength of the relationship between variables. The analysis revealed a mean policy score of 17.90 and an adolescent motivation score of 39.50. A significant positive correlation was found between policy and adolescent motivation (p=0.001; r=0.431). These results indicate that inclusive and effective policies act as catalysts, enhancing adolescents' internal drive to independently comply with health standards. Public policy should no longer be viewed as an instrument of coercion, but rather as a supportive ecosystem that fosters internal motivation. Sustainable transformation of preventive behavior requires policy approaches that empower adolescents, rather than merely restricting them. Future health strategies must focus on integrating participatory policies with the strengthening of adolescent health autonomy, ensuring that preventive behavior becomes an ingrained aspect of their daily lives.

Efektivitas Akupresur Titik LI-4 Terhadap Nyeri Kanulasi AV-Fistula pada Pasien Chronic Kidney Disease di Unit Hemodialisis

2026-04-23T16:33:34+07:00

The kidneys are a pair of vital organs roughly the size of a fist and account for 1% of the total human body weight. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a medical condition in which kidney function progressively declines, resulting in the body’s inability to perform metabolism efficiently. One of the treatments for chronic kidney disease is hemodialysis, which aims to address the temporary or permanent loss of kidney function. The process requires vascular access to circulate blood, typically through the insertion of a needle into an arteriovenous fistula. This procedure causes a pain response that can lead to anxiety and fear during hemodialysis. This study discusses a case analysis regarding the management of CKD patients using acupressure at the LI-4 point to reduce pain intensity during the AV fistula cannulation process in the Hemodialysis Unit at Parikesit Tenggarong Regional General Hospital. The innovative intervention involved applying acupressure at the LI-4 point to alleviate pain for 2–3 minutes prior to and immediately before the AV fistula puncture. The study results showed a significant difference in patients’ pain scores after the acupressure intervention was applied. On the first day, the pain score decreased from 5 to 2; on the second day, from 4 to 2; and on the third day, from 4 to 1. The use of acupressure at the LI-4 point effectively reduced the intensity of pain experienced by patients during the AV fistula needle insertion process

Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Kecemasan Keluarga dalam Merawat Anggota Keluarga dengan TB Paru

2026-04-24T13:08:01+07:00

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic, recurrent infectious disease that usually affects the lungs, and can even affect all organs. Pulmonary TB is spread through the air from person to person. When a person with pulmonary TB coughs, sneezes, or spits, TB germs are released into the air, which can be inhaled by others, potentially infecting them. Psychological distress in families with members with pulmonary TB can also occur due to fear of contracting TB, worry about the lengthy treatment process, and even concern about the social environment where negative stigma toward pulmonary TB persists. This literature review was conducted by searching the Google Scholar database and selecting articles based on inclusion criteria, resulting in the selection of 10 primary articles for analysis. Family anxiety in caring for a family member with pulmonary TB is a manifestation of multiple psychological burdens. The majority of families indicated that despite having the resilience to care, they remain emotionally distressed. Family anxiety in caring for a patient with pulmonary TB is a complex phenomenon triggered by a combination of a lack of accurate medical information, economic pressures, gender, age, and minimal social support in the surrounding environment. Education should not only focus on patient medication schedules but also address family anxiety management. Furthermore, it's crucial for healthcare facilities to initiate support groups for patient families to share emotional burdens and prevent caregivers from feeling socially isolated.Keywords: abstract keywords
