Abstract

UAP has seen an increase in cases every year, leading to high hospitalization rates. One of the symptoms is chest pain due to insufficient blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. Typical left-sided chest pain, substernal and anterior, can spread to the jaw, neck, shoulder, and upper extremities. The pain feels like heavy pressure, strong binding, squeezing, and burning. Efforts to help reduce pain intensity are foot massage therapy. Mr. S was diagnosed with UAP with complaints of left chest pain radiating to the back since ± 1 week ago, felt increasingly aggravated as if hit by a heavy object, did not decrease with rest, pain scale 5, pain duration ± 20 minutes and tired. The patient looked restless, holding the left chest, grimacing, difficulty sleeping, electrocardiogram bradycardia T inverted V1 to V3 ischemia of the septal region. Nursing problems risk of decreased cardiac output, acute pain, and activity intolerance. The application of EBNP uses foot massage SOP instruments and educational books. Measurement of pain intensity with a numeric rating scale (NRS) is carried out twice a day for 20 minutes, namely when the drug decreases or if it feels pain. Evaluation of the application for 3 days found that cardiac output increased, pain complaints decreased, and activity tolerance increased. Patients are allowed to go home with the doctor's approval. Foot massage therapy is effective in UAP with a pain scale of 5 to a pain scale of 1 on the 3rd day of implementation. This paper can be used as EBNP through case reflection, In House Traning (IHT), competency improvement training and as a pilot project to improve the quality of medical nursing care.
