Title
Guided Imagery Relaxation for Acute Pain in Pre-Operative Paralytic Ileus Patient: A Case Study
Subject
Guided imagery, acute pain, paralytic ileus.
Description
Patients with paralytic ileus generally have complaints of abdominal pain of
uncertain duration. The pain that appears can get worse with anxiety about
something being experienced, such as a surgical action plan. Feelings of
anxiety can be a stressor and cause nursing problems in the form of anxiety.
Guided imagery therapy is known to be a non-pharmacological therapy in
dealing with pain and feelings of anxiety in preoperative patients. This study
aims to analyze the administration of guided imagery relaxation therapy to
the problem of acute preoperative pain in patients with paralytic ileus. The
research method used in this study was a descriptive case study. The
research was conducted for three days on one patient with preoperative
paralytic ileus in the Mawar Room at RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. Guided
imagery therapy is carried out twice daily for 20-30 minutes. The results
obtained from this study were that after pain management was carried out
with guided imagery therapy, the patient's pain level decreased from the
NRS 6 scale to the NRS 5 scale, respiratory frequency 20x/minute, SpO2 96%,
blood pressure 130/100 mm Hg, pulse rate 101x/minute. Reducing the pain
scale results indicate that guided imagery therapy can be applied to treat
pain and anxiety in preoperative patients to improve their condition.
