Reduced Blood Glucose Levels in Diabetic Patients After Using a Combination of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (Pro-Mure) and Slow Deep Breathing Exercises (SD-Bex)

Background: One of the causes of diabetes mellitus is a person's lifestyle, namely their level of physical inactivity. So, to avoid complications, persons with diabetes mellitus require both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological treatments to lower blood glucose values. Finding out if people with diabetes mellitus might reduce their blood glucose levels by combining a technique that involved slow deep breathing and progressive muscular relaxation was the primary goal of the research. Methods: This study is quasi-experimental because it uses a control group design with pre- and post-tests. The number of respondents is 34, and the method of sampling is purposive sampling. Twenty to twenty-five minutes of a combination of progressive muscle relaxation (Pro-Mure) and slow deep breathing exercises (SD-Bex) were administered to the experimental group, while the control group received the usual course of intervention. Values of blood glucose levels were the dependent variable. With a p-value of less than 0.05, the study used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to compare outcomes before and after treatment and the Mann-Whitney test to compare the experimental group to the control group. Results: We found that the intervention group's blood glucose value was 0.001 and the control group's was 0.025. A p-value of 0.001 was found on the value of blood glucose levels between the experimental group and the control group as a result of the study utilising the Mann-Whitney test. Conclusion: Those suffering from diabetes mellitus can find relief from their symptoms by combining the techniques of Progressive Muscle Relaxation with Slow Deep Breathing. Additionally, the method is simple to apply.

Comparison and evaluation of two play therapy breathing exercises to reduce anxiety in children receiving local anaesthesia: A randomized clinical study

Background: Children are anxious about dental procedures and the anaesthetic needle’s sight and feeling have been identified as the most fear-eliciting stimuli. Psychologists have used ‘play therapy’ to modify child behaviour to alleviate pain and anxiety during elective surgery in children. The pinwheel and bubble blower have been used in play therapy for children to bring about deep breathing which in turn brings about relaxation and anxiety reduction. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the use of two relaxation breathing exercises for anxiety reduction before and after administration of local anaesthesia for 6–12-year-old children undergoing dental treatment. Method: Forty-five children were divided into 3 groups as control, pinwheel breathing exercise and bubble blowing breathing exercise. The children were given a demonstration of the breathing exercise before local anaesthesia administration and asked to perform the exercise for 3 to 5 minutes. Anxiety was measured before and after administration of local anaesthesia with pulse rate and Venham’s picture scale score. Results: Post-operative rise in pulse rate was seen in all groups but was statistically significant in the control group and the bubble blowing breathing exercise group (p<0.05). The least rise was seen in the pinwheel breathing exercise group. The post-injection Venham’s picture test score was the same as the pre-injection score in the pinwheel exercise group but had increased for the other two groups which was statistically not significant. Conclusions: The play therapy relaxation breathing exercises can be successfully used for anxiety reduction in children receiving local anaesthesia.

Effects of relaxation breathing exercise on fatigue and cortisol level among Indonesian gynecological cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy: a pilot study†

Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine the effect of the relaxation breathing exercise (RBE) on fatigue and cortisol levels among Indonesian women with gynecological cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods This pilot study consecutively recruited 44 gynecological cancer patients to receive RBE (22) or usual care (22). Cortisol level was measured before and after completion of the intervention (day 8). Fatigue was measured using the Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS). Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at the baseline days of the study for days 1, 4, and 8. The obtained data were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test, the independent t-test, and the Mann–Whitney U test. Results There were significant increases in cortisol levels within the groups, either the intervention or control groups, respectively (P-value = 0.0003 and 0.001). Despite there being no statistical significance between the intervention and control groups, there were noticeable differences in the cortisol levels, indicating the extreme increase in cortisol levels in the control group (Median [IQR1– IQR3]: 2.30 [0.99–9.09]; Min–Max: 0.43–23.38) compared with the intervention group (Median [IQR1–IQR3] = 2.97 [1.26–5.18]; Min–Max = 0.39–6.91). Conclusions RBE helps prevent a significant increase in cortisol levels that can alleviate fatigue for women with gynecological cancer. Further research was recommended to compare several intervention modalities for fatigue and cancer-related symptom management based on cortisol level changes.

The Effect of Auricular Acupressure on Uterine Contractions, Fetal Heart Rate, and Length of Labor in the Active Phase of Primigravida

The still high maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia, especially in East Java, is caused by indirect causes or other causes such as prolonged labor, so a method is needed to treat cases of prolonged labor such as auricular acupressure. Auricular acupressure (AKAR) is a non-pharmacological method proven effective for uterine contractions, but its side effects on the fetal heart rate (FHR) are unknown. The research aimed to analyze the AKAR method on uterine contractions, FHR, and labor duration in the first stage's active phase. This type of research is truly experimental, with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research subjects were 41 respondents, primigravida active phase first-stage mothers, selected by consecutive sampling and randomly divided into two groups, namely 21 AKAR groups and 20 deep breathing relaxation control groups. The research results of the Friedman test statistical test ρ-value equal 0.000 in the AKAR group and ρ-value equal 0.000 in the control group, meaning that AKAR influences uterine contractions. The Friedman Test findings show that AKAR does not affect FHR (ρ-value equal 0.618). The Independent Sample Test ρ-value equal 0.29 indicates no statistically significant difference between the two groups' labor lengths throughout the first stage's active phase. The AKAR group's average labor time in the first stage of the active phase was 365.40 minutes, with a minimum of 267 minutes and a high of 395 minutes. Conclusion: The auricular acupressure method affects uterine contractions but does not affect the fetal heart rate. There was no difference in the length of labor in the first active phase of labor between the auricular acupressure and deep breathing relaxation groups, so it is recommended that the auricular acupressure method can be used as an alternative complementary care to prevent prolonged labor.

Effect of Deep Breathing Relaxation and Progressive Muscle Relaxation on Blood Pressure

Hypertension, characterized by diastolic pressure exceeding 90 mmHg and systolic pressure surpassing 140 mmHg, poses a significant health challenge often addressed through pharmacological antihypertensive therapy. This research endeavors to evaluate the impact of complementary interventions, specifically deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation, on reducing blood pressure among hypertensive patients within the operational domain of the Kertasemaya Community Health Center in the Indramayu Regency in 2023. Adopting a Quasi-Experimental Design with a Pretest-Posttest and Control Group paradigm, the study engaged a cohort of 70 respondents stratified into intervention and control groups. The intervention group underwent a combined therapy of deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation, followed by a meticulous post-test for final observations. Meanwhile, the control group underwent an initial blood pressure measurement (pre-test), a relaxation period of 15-30 minutes, and concluded with a post-test for final measurements. The study revealed a statistically significant influence (p=0.013) on average blood pressure within the intervention group compared to the control group. This disparity was observed both before and after the implementation of deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation techniques among hypertensive respondents. These findings underscore the potential efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions in mitigating hypertension and enhancing patient well-being. The combination of deep breathing relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation emerges as a highly effective strategy in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive individuals. This integrative therapeutic approach showcases promising potential for promoting cardiovascular well-being, offering a valuable non-pharmacological avenue for hypertension management

Using Nonpharmacological Treatments in the Emergency Department to Treat Pain Complaints: A Literature Review

Pain management in the Emergency Department (ED) is crucial for humanitarian reasons and is associated with significant morbidity. Previously, pharmacologic therapies like acetaminophen, opioids, and NSAIDs were used, but they carry risks of side effects. Non-pharmacological interventions are often used in conjunction with pharmaceutical therapies to improve pain management and reduce opioid use. This study's purpose was to describe the non-pharmacological interventions that nurses can provide in addressing pain experienced by patients in the ED. This is a literature study from several databases such as Science Direct, ProQuest, SpringerLink, and PubMed using keywords combined with Boolean. The study's selection process involved searching 769 articles using keywords, excluding 27 duplicates and 712 articles not meeting research objectives. After a full-text review of 30 selected articles, 19 were excluded, and 11 were selected for inclusion. Acupuncture therapy is the most commonly used non-pharmacological therapy, followed by warm/cold compresses, distraction, and deep breath relaxation. Non-pharmacological therapies can be given to manage pain in patients in the ED. Combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies can provide more analgesia for severe pain.
