Harry Permana Wibowo — 2025-01-03

Ankle ROM training involves two movements: dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, which enhances calf muscle strength and pumping, facilitating venous return and reducing oxygen and nutrient diffusion, thus promoting overall health. This study provides active lower ROM intervention to diabetes mellitus patients twice a day for 6 consecutive days simultaneously. This type of research uses quasi-experimental research using two groups pretest-posttest, namely an experimental design where there are control and intervention groups. The samples in this study were 35, of which 17 samples were for the intervention group and 18 samples were for the control group. The research found that ankle ROM exercises significantly improved the DNE score and ABI value in both the intervention and control groups, with a statistical test result of p = 0.000 in the DNE score. It can be believed that there is a significant difference between the DNE scores of the intervention group, and the control group after doing ankle ROM exercises (p = 0.000), then H0 was rejected or there was an effect of ROM exercises on reducing the risk of neuropathy. Meanwhile, the ABI value showed a statistical test result of p = 0.002 and it can be believed that there is a significant difference between the ABI values of the intervention group and the control group after ankle ROM exercises (p = 0.002), so H0 is rejected or there is an effect of ROM exercises on reducing the risk of Angiopathy.

Dudut Tanjung — 2025-01-01

Avascular Necrosis (ANV) is a pathological condition caused by impaired blood supply to the subchondral femur bone, causing necrosis and deformity of bone tissue. This condition causes severe pain, joint stiffness, and impaired physical mobility. Chronic avascular necrosis requires surgery to stabilize physical function. Total Hip Replacement surgery is one of the surgical options to relieve pain and restore joint function in patients with avascular necrosis. Nursing care for ANV patients is very important in managing pain, preventing complications, and promoting recovery. Through comprehensive nursing care, nurses have a significant impact on the physical and emotional health of patients, helping them live healthier and more functional lives. This article aims to implement nursing care for avascular necrosis patients undergoing surgery at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. This study is a case report of a 63-year-old patient who had suffered from avascular necrosis for 10 years and underwent Total Hip Replacement surgery. Assessment data were collected through physical examination and supplemented with laboratory and radiology results. The postoperative diagnoses that are the priority in this patient are acute pain, impaired physical mobility, impaired skin integrity, and self-care deficit. Nurses focus on the criteria for treatment outcomes in reducing pain levels, increasing joint range of motion and physical mobility, improving skin integrity, and improving self-care. The intervention results are pain control that allows earlier mobilization and can be a reference for professional nurses in improving the quality of service, especially for avascular necrosis patients undergoing Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery.
