Abstract

Elderly is a term used to describe a group of people who have reached the end of their lives and are experiencing a decline in their capacity to perform basic bodily functions, which can lead to a variety of health issues. One of them is the prevalence of joint disorders, which ranks third among various non-communicable diseases that affect the elderly (51.9 percent). The goal of this study was to see if red ginger massage could reduce pain intensity in elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis. The sample in this study was 6 senior persons, and it was an analytic study with a genuine experimental design and a pretest-posttest control group technique. The average amount before receiving red ginger massage was 2.80 in the treatment group and 2.87 in the control group, with the pain scale in both groups being the same in moderate discomfort. The aftereffects of a red ginger massage The average number in the treatment group was 1.87 on a mild pain scale, while the average number in the control group was 2.87 on a moderate pain scale because no therapy was given. In the intervention group, the paired T Test revealed a significant difference in the average value of pain reduction before and after delivering red ginger massage to the elderly, with p = 0.000 (p = 0.05). The elderly's discomfort was lessened after just one week of intervention. The elderly, it is hoped, will be able to do so in the future.

Abstract

Increasing age in the elderly affects the performance of the cardiovascular system, one of which is the problem of high blood pressure. However, high blood pressure in the elderly is also influenced by various other factors, including genetics, physical activity, nutrition, and lifestyle or habits. This study focused on examining the habitual factors of the elderly in terms of coffee consumption and its relationship with the elderly's blood pressure. The research method uses quantitative descriptive-analytical research principles with a cross-sectional study approach. This study targets a population of 268 elderly people in the Pariaman Community Health Center (Pauh Barat) Work Area. The research sample involved 83 elderly respondents. Analyze statistical data and use the chi-square formula. The results of this study show that there is a significant relationship between the habit of consuming coffee and blood pressure in the elderly at a significance level of P = 0.010 (< ? 0.05). From the results of this research, it can be concluded that the prognosis for cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension in the elderly can be supported through efforts to improve behavior by reducing the habit of drinking excessive coffee. Research suggests that support from health workers and those closest to the elderly is needed to provide education and understanding in controlling the excessive coffee habit of the elderly so that the normal aging process experienced by the elderly is not exacerbated by habits that can disrupt health.
