This phase is very crucial because patients who have just undergone anesthesia are at risk of oxygenation disorders due to the effects of anesthesia, surgical procedures, or the patient's physiological condition. Objective: to identify and analyze factors that influence oxygen saturation in post-operative patients in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and are expected to contribute to improving the quality of post-operative care and preventing serious, potentially life-threatening complications. Method: the data analysis technique uses descriptive analysis, namely presenting the distribution of oxygen saturation data and patient characteristics descriptively in the form of tables or graphs. The sample in this study was post-operative patients in the PACU room of RSI Purwokerto with a total of 62 patients. And using inferential analysis, namely the spearman Rho Test: to examine the relationship between age, gender, smoking status, and blood pressure with oxygen saturation and logistic regression test: to determine the most dominant factor influencing oxygen saturation with n = 62 patients. Results: shows a significant relationship between blood pressure and oxygen saturation, with a correlation coefficient value of 0.742 (very strong relationship category, p <0.05), and in gender, a correlation coefficient value of -0.332 (weak relationship, p <0.05) was obtained, the same as in smoking status showing a correlation coefficient of -0.369 (weak relationship, p <0.05). Conclusion: blood pressure, gender, and smoking status factors are related to oxygen saturation in postoperative patients. Suggestion: for further researchers, it is hoped that they will conduct research in various scopes, for example peri-operative.</em></p>2026-04-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Jurnal Ilmiah Keperawatan IMELDAhttps://jurnal.uimedan.ac.id/index.php/JURNALKEPERAWATAN/article/view/2174HUBUNGAN TINGKAT PENGETAHUAN DENGAN SIKAP KELUARGA DALAM MERAWAT LANSIA STROKE DI WILAYAH KOMUNITAS2026-02-13T09:32:05+00:00Sarah Fitria2210711119@mahasiswa.upnvj.ac.idChandra Tri Wahyudichandratriwahyudi@upnvj.ac.id<p><em>Stroke in older adults often causes physical, cognitive, and emotional limitations that require long-term care at home. In this condition, the family acts as the primary caregiver, making family knowledge and attitudes important factors in the success of caring for older adults with Stroke. Although many studies have discussed the role of families in Stroke care, most focus on caregiver burden or patient quality of life, while studies examining the relationship between family knowledge and attitudes in caring for older adults with Stroke in the community remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge and family attitudes in caring for older adults with Stroke in Limo District, Depok City. This study used a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 124 families caring for older adults with Stroke, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using the Stroke Knowledge Assessment Tool (SKAT) questionnaire to measure knowledge and the Family Caregiver Patient Stroke questionnaire to assess family attitudes. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that most families had low knowledge levels and negative attitudes toward caring for older adults with Stroke. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between knowledge level and family attitudes (p < 0.001).

The Reverse Barbeau Test (RBT) has been recommended as an objective method to assess radial artery patency, although clinical assessment is still commonly applied in the ICU of Panti Rapih Hospital. This study aimed to compare the Reverse Barbeau Test and clinical assessment in evaluating radial artery patency among post–cardiac catheterization patients. A comparative study design was conducted using accidental sampling involving 35 post-catheterization patients with radial compression devices admitted to the ICU of Panti Rapih Hospital, Yogyakarta. The study was conducted from May 23 to June 17, 2025. Data were analyzed using the McNemar test. The results showed a statistically significant difference between RBT and clinical assessment at 15 minutes after radial compression application (p = 0.001). RBT was more sensitive in detecting early impairment of radial artery patency, identifying 34.3% of cases compared to only 2.9% detected by clinical assessment. These findings indicate that the Reverse Barbeau Test is more sensitive for early detection of radial artery patency disturbances. Reverse Barbeau Test is objective, non-invasive, easy to perform, and cost-effective; therefore, its use is recommended, particularly during the first 15 minutes following radial compression device application.</em></p>2026-04-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Jurnal Ilmiah Keperawatan IMELDAhttps://jurnal.uimedan.ac.id/index.php/JURNALKEPERAWATAN/article/view/2050EFEKTIFITAS LATIHAN RANGE OF MOTION KOMBINASI JIGSAW PUZZLE TERHADAP KEKUATAN EKSTREMITAS ATAS PASIEN PASKA STROKE 2026-01-17T02:42:28+00:00Fransiska Anita Ekawati Rahayu Sa'pangfransiskaanitarahayu@gmail.comFelisima Ganutfelisima.ganut@gmail.comZabrina Queenita Mahesa Putrizabrinaqueenita@gmail.comElania Anjeelaniaanje@gmail.comFelisita Yolafelisitayola1701@gmail.comGetrudis Yusriuchiick123@gmail.com<p><em>Stroke is the leading cause of disability that causes upper limb hemiparesis, resulting in post-stroke patients having difficulty moving their hands, which impacts their ability to perform daily activities. If left untreated, this can lead to various complications such as contractures. During the rehabilitation phase, post-stroke patients need to undergo physical training, especially in the first 3 months after stroke, to pursue neuroplasticity so that hemiparesis can be restored. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of combined ROM exercises and jigsaw puzzles in increasing upper limb muscle strength in post-stroke patients at a private hospital in Makassar. The research design used was a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test equivalent control group design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. There were 40 respondents in each group. Data analysis used paired t-tests, with results showing that the combination of ROM exercises and jigsaw puzzles had an effect on the intervention group (p value < 0.05) with a mean value of 5.103, and that ROM exercises had an effect on the control group (p value < 0.05) with a mean value of 3.738. The results of the t-test showed a difference in upper extremity muscle strength between the intervention group and the control group (p value < 0.05).
