Heart Failure is a complex clinical syndrome in which the heart cannot pump blood to meet the body's blood circulation needs for tissue metabolism in certain conditions, due to structural or functional damage to the heart chambers. It is usually characterized by excessive blood volume, inadequate tissue perfusion, poor activity tolerance, and usually easily feels tired, orthopnea and edema. The emergence of various clinical symptoms in heart failure patients will cause nursing problems and interfere with basic human needs, one of which is fatigue. Heart failure sufferers have problems with the heart system which results in a lack of blood and oxygen supply to the brain and muscles, so sufferers often experience fatigue to the point of fainting.\u0000Purpose: To determine the relationship between the level of fatigue and the mental health of heart failure patients.\u0000Method: This type of quantitative research with a design using a cross sectional approach. Carried out at the heart clinic dr. Moewardi Surakarta, Central Java of the regional general hospital from October to December 2023. The population of heart failure sufferers in this study was 186 people, however by using a purposive sampling technique in sampling, a sample of 148 patients was obtained. The inclusion criteria in this study were patients aged >18 years, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II and class III heart failure patients, while the exclusion criteria were heart failure patients who were unwilling or unable to take part in this study. The instruments used were the fatigue assessment scale (FAS) and depression anxiety and stress scale 21 (DASS-21) questionnaires. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate with the chi square test.\u0000Results: The majority of respondents experienced mild fatigue with anxious conditions, 53 people (53.0%). Meanwhile, 47 patients (47.0%) who complained of severe fatigue showed anxiety, 24 people (85.7%), and 12 people (60.0%) felt stressed. The results of the analysis obtained a significant value with a p-value of 0.001 (<0.05) which indicates that H0 was rejected. So there is a relationship between the level of fatigue and mental health conditions in heart failure sufferers.\u0000Conclusion: There is a relationship between the level of fatigue and mental health in heart failure patients. The nursing implication that can be implemented is providing education about fatigue so that patients understand the impact it has on heart failure sufferers so that it does not cause mental health problems.","PeriodicalId":18172,"journal":{"name":"Malahayati International Journal of Nursing and Health Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140394488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The World Health Organization (WHO) states, almost worldwide 1 billion people have high blood pressure. Uncontrolled, long-term increased in blood pressure can damage vital organ systems. Increased blood pressure in people with hypertension can also cause anxiety. To reduce the impact of anxiety from hypertension, it is helpful to provide lavender aromatherapy for sufferers.\u0000Purpose: To examine the impact of lavender aromatherapy on reducing anxiety levels in hypertension sufferers.\u0000Method: Using a one-group pre-posttest design in conjunction with a pre-experimental research design. The total sample was 31 people with hypertension. The research took place in Blimbing Village, Gatak District, Sukoharjo Regency and was conducted from 18 November to 2 December 2023. The ZSAS (Zung-Self Anxiety Scale) questionnaire was used as an instrument to measure anxiety levels. The anxiety levels were analyzed using the descriptive statistics test and the effect of lavender aromatherapy was measured by the Paired Sample T-test.\u0000Results: Before receiving lavender aromatherapy, 16 (51.6%) hypertensive patients experienced mild anxiety, and 15 (48.4%) had a moderate level of anxiety. Subsequently, after receiving the lavender aromatherapy intervention, anxiety among hypertensive patients decreased from mild anxiety to 27 (87.1%), with only 4 (12.9%) experiencing moderate anxiety. The paired sample t-test yielded a p-value of <0.05.\u0000Conclusion: Lavender aroma therapy through candle inhalation has an influence on reducing anxiety levels in hypertension sufferers.\u0000Suggestion: It is highly recommended for hypertension sufferers who experience anxiety to use lavender aromatherapy as a complementary therapy.","PeriodicalId":18172,"journal":{"name":"Malahayati International Journal of Nursing and Health Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140394429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sampling technique was total sampling method. The samples were 41 ASD patients with PAH at Prof. Ngoerah General Hospital in Denpasar in 2022. Patients under 18 years of age and those with other congenital heart disease will be excluded. The demographic characteristics assessed were the patient's age and gender. The therapy data included information on medical therapy and intervention therapy.Results: Focus of medical therapy was supportive therapy rather than specific PAH therapy. Percutaneous ASD closure was the most widely-used intervention therapy compared to surgical ASD closure. Based on statistical analysis, the p value > 0.05 is 0.284, so there is no significant correlation between the probability of the patient's pH and the provision of intervention therapy.Conclusion: At Prof Ngoerah General Hospital Denpasar, the majority of ASD patients with complications of pulmonary hypertension were females aged between 21 to 30 years. The medical therapy given is adjusted based on the severity of PH as assessed through echocardiography examination. Majority of patients received supportive therapy compared to specific therapy for PAH. Medical therapy is prioritized for patients who have contraindication criteria for interventional therapy.
