Abstract

Pneumonia is one of the top 10 hospital admissions, with a case proportion of 53.95% male and 46.05% female. Pneumonia can cause complications in the oxygenation process that lead to decrease the oxygen saturation value and causes hypoxemia. The puspose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of acupressure on increasing oxygen saturation in patients with pneumonia. The design used quasi experiment pre test and post test with control group design approach. The sampel of this study was patiens with pneumonia between of 18 to 64 years, which choosing by convenience sampling. Participants in the experimenal group received auricular acupressure at the Shen Men and 5 meridian points, that is LU1, LU2, BL11, BL 12, and BL13. Data collection was done by measuring oxygen saturation using a plus oxymeter. The analysis test to determine the effect of acupressure on oxygen saturation using the Mann-Whitney Test with a significance level of 0.05, and N-Gain. The results showed that average oxygen saturation before acupressure in the intervention group was 74.00% and in the control group 73.15%. After acupressure there was an increase of saturation oxygen 23,8% in the intervention group and 21% in the control, and the effect test showed that there was an effect of acupressure on oxygen saturation (pValue 0.000). The conclusion is acupressure therapy can accelerate increaseing oxygen saturation in pneumonia patients. Therefore,  it is recommended that besade  addition standard therapy, pneumonia patients can also be given acupressure to accelerate healing.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic endocrine disease with the identical symptom of hyperglycemia. One of the main pillars in DM management is nutrition therapy through limiting the intake of carbohydrates and high simple sugar (monosaccharides). The availability of foods with low glucose levels has become one of the crucial needs of DM patients in controlling blood glucose levels. Tempeh is a soy-fermented local food that has been known widely by Indonesian Society. Tempeh-based food products with high nutritional value and low sugar are still scarcely found in society. Thus, this research aims to develop a tempeh-based product with high nutrition value (protein), low Glycemic Index (GI) level and adequate fibre content. Research and Development Design method was used in this research with the selecting, sorting and processing done with respecting the standard of food processing. The yield product was tested on 40 panellists for organoleptic tests, analyzed in the laboratory to measure the nutrient content, and calculated for glycemic index. The results show that “ATemp” (a tempeh floss) has a result of organoleptic test with the panellist who stated like and very like for colour of the product 65%, for the aroma 67,5%, for the texture 58% and for the taste of the product 50%. Laboratory analysis has shown that 100 g of ATemp contains 23 g of fat, 19 g of protein, 45 g of carbohydrate, 1 g of sugar, 257 mg of sodium, 12 g of fibre and 465 kcal of total energy. The result of GI test shows that Atemp has a GI level of 12 (low) and GL level of 2,7 (low). ATempt has a high potential to be an alternative food for diabetes or for those who are doing low-sugar diet.
