Abstract

The preoperative period is a crucial phase in surgical care, during which patients frequently experience psychological distress, particularly anxiety. Anxiety may arise from uncertainty about the surgical procedure, anesthesia, potential complications, and postoperative outcomes. Previous studies indicate that 40-80% of surgical patients experience preoperative anxiety at varying levels. This emotional response can activate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to physiological changes such as increased blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate. If not properly identified and managed, these alterations may affect perioperative stability and recovery. This study aimed to describe preoperative anxiety levels and the stability of vital signs among patients at Puruk Cahu Regional General Hospital. A quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 30 adult patients scheduled for elective surgery, selected through purposive sampling. Anxiety was measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Vital signs including blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature were assessed using standard hospital equipment. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented as frequencies and percentages. The results showed that 33.3% of patients had no/normal anxiety, 30.0% had moderate anxiety, and 33.3% experienced severe anxiety, while 3.3% had mild anxiety. Abnormal blood pressure was found in 80.0% of patients, whereas most had normal pulse rate (73.3%), respiratory rate (93.3%), and body temperature (93.3%). These findings highlight the importance of comprehensive preoperative psychological and physiological assessment.

Abstract

Hypertension is a prevalent health issue among the elderly, contributing to severe cardiovascular complications. Indonesia’s 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) reported that hypertension affects more than 50% of older adults aged 65–74 years. This community service program aimed to improve elderly knowledge and skills in hypertension prevention through Banjar language-based education and the use of cucumber infused water as a complementary approach. A participatory method was applied, involving lecturers, students, and 30 elderly residents at Uma Kandung Social Nursing Home, Banjarmasin. Activities included blood pressure measurement, health education in Banjar language, cucumber infused water preparation, blood pressure monitoring practice, and evaluation with pre- and post-tests. Findings indicated improved knowledge from 40% to 83% and a reduction in systolic blood pressure by 8–10 mmHg and diastolic by 5–7 mmHg. Participants also showed higher motivation for routine monitoring and healthier lifestyles. In conclusion, integrating culturally based education with cucumber infused water is effective in enhancing health literacy and promoting hypertension control behaviors among the elderly.
