Abstract

Gout arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease caused by uric acid crystal deposition, leading to pain, particularly in the lower extremities, and potentially interfering with daily activities and reducing patients’ quality of life. The condition highlights the need for safe, affordable, and accessible non-pharmacological therapies to support pain management in community settings. This study aimed to analyze changes in foot pain intensity after salt hydrotherapy among patients with gout arthritis in the working area of Karanganyar Community Health Center. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 17 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale before the intervention and after three intervention sessions within one week. The median pain score decreased from 6.00 (IQR 2; range 4–8) before the intervention to 3.00 (IQR 2; range 2–4) after the intervention. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a statistically significant difference (Z = -3.671; p < 0.001), with a large effect size (r = 0.89). These findings indicate that salt hydrotherapy was associated with a reduction in foot pain intensity, with a shift in pain category from moderate to mild in the study sample. However, the findings should be interpreted cautiously because the study involved a small sample and no control group.

Abstract

Asthenopia, or eye strain, is a condition characterized by a decline in visual performance resulting from excessive accommodative effort, manifesting in ocular, musculoskeletal, and psychosocial symptoms. University students represent a vulnerable demographic due to the high intensity of digital device usage required for academic activities. Left untreated, this condition can lead to serious complications, including the degradation of visual acuity. This program aimed to provide education on the management of asthenopia through the implementation of practical eye exercises. The methods included video-based counseling, procedural demonstrations, and evaluation via return demonstration (redemonstration). Result Initial identification revealed that the predominant complaints were drowsiness during near-work activities (31.8%) and reading inefficiency (5.7%). Post-intervention evaluation indicated a positive response; 55.7% of participants reported that eye exercises were highly effective, while 36.4% found them somewhat helpful in alleviating fatigue. Furthermore, the objective of independence was achieved, with 79.5% of participants demonstrating the ability to perform the exercises independently. In conclusion, eye exercises serve as an effective intervention for reducing asthenopia symptoms and enhancing participant self-efficacy. This program is recommended as a sustainable, self-managed preventive strategy for university students in the digital era.
