Background: Surgical Site infection (SSI) has been known as a hospital-acquired infection that need a proper and efficient treatment. SSI cause adverse impacts for clients and Hospitals, include length of stay, delayed recovery, those lead morbidity and mortality especially in developing country. This systematic
review aims to compare the effectiveness of Chlorhexidine-alcohol, Chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine to reduce SSI. Method: Literature are obtained by searching the ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed and BMJ databases between the year 2013 and 2017. The literature inclusion criteria are those using Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design and comparing the use of Chlorhexidine-alcohol, Chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine as skin preparation to reduce SSI. Result: Chlorhexidine-alcohol concentration is mostly used and recommended to reduce SSI. Conclusion: Chlorhexidine-alcohol is more effective on reducing SSI than Chlorhexidine, and povidone-iodine.
Background: Self-management becomes an important part of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) therapy to achieve maximum therapeutic results. Methods to improve self-management in CKD patients have developed, one of them is through the use of Information Technology (IT). The development of IT today makes everyone to access a lot of things. Therefore, the development of technology enables clients to
improve self-management. This systematic review aims to know the effectiveness of IT using in Selfmanagement
among CKD patients. Methods: Literatures are obtained through several databases including Science Direct, Scopus, and PUBMED. This search is restricted from 2011 until 2017. Results: Based on a study of 10 selected journals, obtained some types of information technology that is used to improve selfmanagement in CKD patients. The technologies include mobile phone applications, SMS, teleconferencing and web-based. Conclusion: IT is effective to improve self-management in CKD patients.
Background: Sensory stimulation (Auditory, visual and affective) is one of nursing intervention to enhance
the level of consciousness among comatose patient caused by brain injury in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). However, little is known about the effect of sensory stimulation on brain injury patients. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of sensory stimulation in level of consciousness among brain injury patients in ICU. Method: source of the articles used are obtained from Scopus, Sage, PubMed, and Google scholar databases from year 2007 up to 2017. Fifteen articles was measured by using PICOT and SORT methods. Results: Sensory stimulation can be applied twice a day among brain injury patients to enhance the level of consciousness. Given sensory stimulation, the consciousness level of all patients was increase by measuring the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Conclusion: Sensory stimulation (Auditory, visual and affective) is known to be more effective on enhancing level of consciousness when combined.
