Some are laid back, others are very vivacious, you will find that some are calm, quiet houses, while others team with activity. When you enter an adult family home the first thing you will notice is that the Adult family home smells wonderful. They take pride in making delicious homemade meals. Often times when you come into the homes you?ll be greeted by the aroma of fresh baked bread, rolls, or muffins, not to mention the v

Peranan dokter dan perawat tidak sebatas memberikan pengobatan secara fisik melainkan juga pengobatan psikis (kejiwaan) pasien. Diyakini, dengan dibantu oleh terapi secara psikis akan lebih membantu kesembuhan pasien karena kondisi kejiwaannya lebih tenang. Hal tersebut dikatakan oleh dosen Program Studi Ilmu Kepe-rawatan (PSIK) FK Unpad, Dra. Suharyati Samba, dalam seminar perawat rohani Islam di Akper Aisyiyah, Selasa (31/8). Hal senada juga dikemukakan tiga pembicara dari IAIN Sunan Gunung Djati yakni Dr. H. Afif Muhammad, Drs. H. Isep Zainal Arifin, dan Dr. H. M. Solihin. Menurut Suharyati, kedudukan perawat amat penting, karena satu-satunya tenaga kesehatan yang secara 24 jam dituntut untuk selalu di samping pasien. "Jumlah pe-rawat selalu paling banyak diban-dingkan jumlah tenaga kesehatan lainnya seperti dokter, ahli gizi, fisioterapi, dan lain-lain. Kebutuhan dasar manusia dalam pandangan keperawatan meliputi biologi, psikis, sosial, dan spiri

These issues can include mental issues such as dementia and physical issues such as major infections, wound

Model Praktik Keperawatan Profesional di Indonesia Era globalisasi dan perkembangan ilmu dan teknologi kesehatan menuntut perawat, sebagai suatu profesi, memberi pelayanan kesehatan yang optimal. Indonesia juga berupaya mengembangkan model praktik keperawatan profesional (MPKP). Salah satunya dilaksanakan di Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Nasional dr Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) sebagai rumah sakit pendidikan dan rumah sakit rujukan nasional.

Excellent nursing practice reflects proficient use of the nursing process demonstrated by skillful assessment, diagnosis, planning, outcome identification, intervention, and evaluation. The nursing process provides the framework that directs nursing practice. Nursing care planning is the application of the nursing process to a specific client situation. Written nursing care plans are a means of communication among health care providers, clients, and families. They ensure that care is coordinated to achieve desired health care outcomes. A thorough assessment is the foundation of the nursing process. The assessment data are then reviewed and organized according to client needs. Nursing diagnoses, derived from the assessment, provide the basis for selection of interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse is accountable (NANDA, 2003). �Now, as never before, today�s nurse must make more complex professional decisions, determine what things to do and what things not to do for which

Sejauh ini pelaksanaan perawatan kesehatan masyarakat (puskesmas) sebagai salah satu program pokok puskesmas masih jauh dari kondisi ideal. Beberapa sebab yang melatar belakangi keadaan ini diantaranya masih rendahnya kualitas dan kuantitas sumberdaya perawat, adanya tugas rangkap, serta kurangnya sosialisasi dan pelatihan Perkesmas. Keadaan ini masih diperparah lagi dengan relative sulit dan berbelitnya pelaksanaan Perkesmas, belum lagi sistem pencatatan dan pelaporan yang cukup banyak membuat perawat merasa enggan untuk melaksanakannya. Oleh karena itu untuk memudahkan pencatatan dan pelaporan maka akan diadakan pelatihan Perkesmas. Diharapkan dengan adanya pelatihan tersebut nantinya akan meningkatkan motivasi perawat melaksanakan asuhan keperawatan. Dalam asuhan keperawatan dilaksanakan pada keluarga rawan dan kasus-kasus yang paling sering ditemukan dalam masyarakat. Kasus yang dimaksud adalah keluarga rawan karena penyakit TB paru, kusta, hipertensi, ibu hamil beresiko, ibu ham
