Abstract

Background: Congestive heart failure is the inability to pump blood throughout the body which causes the walls to be unable to pump adequately. Purpose: This study aimed to ascertain the effect of a contrast bath with a 30 º elevation on the reduction of edema in congestive heart failure patients at Ulin General Hospital, Banjarmasin. Methods: The design of this study was quasi-experimental with an unequal control group design. The population is patients with congestive heart failure, and the sample used is successive sampling. 34 respondents were divided into two groups, 17 respondents in the intervention group and 17 in the control group. Results: The Mann-Whitney result value P = 0.027 (P < 0.05) represented a significant reduction in Bath contrast edema with 30º feet elevation in the intervention group and control group patients with congestive heart failure. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is expected to be able to apply contrast showers with an elevation of 30 º in nursing services to reduce the degree of edema in congestive heart failure patients.
