Background: Emergency conditions in Indonesia can be caused by the vulnerability of disasters, accidents and diseases that threaten life or cause disability in humans. Emergency conditions require immediate assistance to prevent death and disability. The community as the first helper holds a very important key to the safety of individuals who are experiencing emergency conditions. Not all people are familiar with the PSC-119 service. The results of the preliminary study also showed that most of the respondents expressed lack of confidence because they had never received any socialization or training on how to provide first aid. Methods: a form of experimental research with a pretest-posttest model, with intervention towards respondents related to actions in first aid training. Respondents in this study were 217 special lay people. The sampling technique in this study was random sampling by distributing invitations to special lay people in the city of Surakarta, consisting of members of the Voluntary Corps, health cadres and Linmas Kelurahan at Surakarta City. The data analysis technique used a t test Results: There was an increase in the value between the pretest and posttest of 12.2 and the result of different test (t test) shows the value of Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.00. Conclusion: There was an increase in community confidence in accessing PSC-119 services after first aid training was carried out for victims with significant emergency conditions.

Background: Emergency conditions always occur every day around us, and the delay in aid makes the condition getting worse after arriving at the emergency department. Emergency competency assessments that continue to develop ensure increased competence for students to further increase student awareness of emergency conditions. The research objective is the development of the Emergency Sensitivity and Specificity Range Scale Competency (NRS-C) for Emergency Services Methods: Observational analytical research method using secondary data competency assessment of 101 respondents who have done daily emergency training. Inclusion criteria, namely high school students’ class XI and XII. The sampling technique used is random sampling by taking randomly (single blink). Data were analyzed using the Receiver Operating Curve (ROC Curve). Results: The results showed that most respondents were 16 years old (41%), and have a female gender (54%). The results showed that the sensitivity value was 84% and the specificity was 16%, with an AUC Area value of 0.794, and p=0,001, which means it has a fairly good AUC value. Conclusion: The NRS-C instrument can be used in the emergency department competency assessment which is quite good in assessing the competence of an emergency department..

Background: Non-hemorrhagic stroke is a disease that occurs due to a blockage in certain brain blood vessels. Therefore, the brain area is not supplied with energy and oxygen so that the brain tissue does not function. The problem that occurs in non-hemorrhagic strokes is the weakness of the limbs and facial muscles. Non-pharmacological therapy for non-hemorrhagic stroke sufferers is dhikr therapy. Dhikr therapy relies on feelings and heart to calm the soul and increase muscle strength. This study aims to determine the effect of dhikr therapy on muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental research design with pre-and post-test with control group. Non-probability sampling was used to determine the sample, which consisted of 54 respondents: 27 in the treatment group with ROM therapy, dhikr and 27 in the control group with ROM therapy. Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) Instrument is used to measure muscle strength. The data were analyzed using an independent T-test Results: There is an effect of dhikr therapy on muscle strength after implementing the therapy in the intervention and control groups with a p-value of the right upper extremity of 0.000, p-value of the left upper extremity of 0.008, p-value of the right lower extremity of 0.007 and p-value of the left lower extremity of 0.007 Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that dhikr therapy can improve muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients at the Sibela Community Health Center of Surakarta

ABSTRACT Background: Medical emergencies are common but Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) incidences are rare; yet when they occur could be life threatening leading either to disability or death. During SCA incidents, health care professionals will be required to act skilfully and swiftly to restart the heart and stabilise the patient until advanced care can be accessed or provided. There is evidence that victims of cardio and/or respiratory arrest whilst in the hospital will have improved outcomes if Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is initiated within three to five minutes. The objectives of this study were to find if emergency nurses were adequately resourced to practice Basic Life Support (BLS), and the ease or difficulties with which they practice BLS. Methods: This Qualitative Descriptive (QD) study was conducted at the University of Cape Coast Hospital (UCCH) between June and September 2019. Six nurses were purposively recruited for the study. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcription was done with Microsoft Word and transferred to Microsoft Excel for thematic analysis using an inductive descriptive approach. Data analysis took a conventional qualitative content analysis approach. Results: Four of the participants were females whilst two were males. During data aggregation and analysis, 17 first-level codes were extracted from which two themes, five categories and six subcategories were obtained for discussion. The major themes were: (1) Basic Life Support (BLS) equipment and material resources, and (2) working environment and human resource. Conclusion: The study found that nurses working at emergency ward at UCCH were adequately resourced and well prepared to practice BLS. They however had challenges as their work seem to be hindered by patients who present to the ward without emergency needs and unavailability of emergency drugs.

Background: The global COVID-19 outbreak has affected all sectors of society. Nursing students were not exempted. This study examined COVID-19 anxiety syndrome among Filipino nursing students and whether significant differences existed according to gender. Methods: This cross-sectional study used the COVID-19 Anxiety Syndrome Scale (C-19ASS) as the primary tool for data collection. Significant gender differences were tested using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Results showed that the composite score in the C-19ASS was 3.92 (SD=.69) indicating a moderate to a high level of anxiety syndrome features associated with COVID-19 among nursing students. The mean scores in the preservation and avoidance factors were 3.94 (SD=.76) and 3.88 (SD=.91), respectively. Female nursing students had a significantly higher (p=.004) COVID-19 anxiety syndrome compared to male nursing students. Conclusion: The global outbreak of COVID-19 brought about extraordinary anxiety syndrome and stressful situations among nursing students. Nursing students, particularly female students, may benefit from additional support and guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
