Abstract

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation that causes pain, stiffness, and decreased functional ability, especially in the elderly. Pain management can be carried out through pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. One of the non-pharmacological therapies that can be used is warm ginger compresses and warm water compresses. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of warm ginger compresses compared to warm water compresses in reducing rheumatoid arthritis pain among the elderly in Sampali Village.This study used a quantitative design with a quasi-experimental method through a two-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 47 elderly respondents selected using total sampling technique. The respondents were divided into two groups: the warm ginger compress group and the warm water compress group. Pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data analysis was performed using appropriate statistical tests based on data distribution to examine differences before and after the intervention. The results showed that both interventions were effective in reducing rheumatoid arthritis pain in the elderly. However, warm ginger compresses were found to be more effective than warm water compresses. This is influenced by the active compounds in ginger, such as gingerol, which have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, as well as providing relaxation through improved blood circulation. In conclusion, warm ginger compresses are more effective in reducing pain compared to warm water compresses. This therapy can be recommended as a simple, safe, and cost-effective non-pharmacological alternative for the elderly.

Abstract

Background: Type II Diabetes Mellitus is a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance or impaired insulin production by the pancreas. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be done is foot exercises. This study aims to determine the effect of physical exercise on leg exercises on reducing blood sugar levels in people with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. The method used was a pre-experiment with a Two Group Pre-test and Post-test design with a control group. The research was conducted at the Sentosa Baru Community Health Center with a total of 24 respondents, divided into 12 intervention groups and 12 control groups. Blood sugar levels were measured before and after the intervention using a glukotest. The results of the study showed that there was a significant reduction in blood sugar levels in the group that did leg exercises compared to the control group that did not do this exercise. Data analysis used the Independent T-Test, which showed a p value <0.05, indicating a significant effect of leg exercise on reducing blood sugar levels. The results of this study indicate that foot exercises can be an effective non-pharmacological therapy in controlling blood sugar levels in people with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. Therefore, this exercise can be recommended as a health intervention that is easy, cheap, and can be done independently by diabetes patients to help manage their disease.

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the leading non-communicab le diseases with the highest incidence and mortality rates among women, including in Indonesia. The high mortality rate of breast cancer is largely attributed to delayed early detection. Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is a simple, low-cost, and self-performed early detection method that can be practiced from adolescence. However, the level of knowledge and awareness of adolescent girls regarding BSE remains relatively low, particularly due to the lack of structured health education in school settings. Therefore, health education is considered an important effort to improve adolescents’ knowledge and ability to perform BSE correctly. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education on the level of knowledge regarding Breast Self-Examination (BSE) among adolescent girls at SMA Kebangsaan Medan. This study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest method. The sample consisted of 45 adolescent female students selected through a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a BSE knowledge questionnaire administered before and after the health education intervention. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that prior to the health education intervention, most respondents had a low level of knowledge about BSE. After the intervention, there was a significant improvement in knowledge levels, with the majority of respondents categorized as having good knowledge. The Wilcoxon test revealed a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of health education on increasing BSE knowledge. Health education has a significant effect on improving adolescent girls’ knowledge regarding Breast Self-Examination (BSE). Health education should be continuously integrated into school health programs as a promotive and preventive strategy for early detection of breast cancer. Further research is recommended to use a quasi-experimental design with a control group. In addition, it is necessary to add behavioral variables and demonstration assessments through observation to evaluate the consistency and skills of respondents in performing SADARI correctly.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease whose prevalence continues to increase and becomes a public health problem. Lack of knowledge and inappropriate attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle are risk factors for the increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes. Preventive efforts can be carried out through health education to increase knowledge and shape positive attitudes in the community. Objective of this study is to analyze the effect of healthy lifestyle health education on community knowledge and attitudes in preventing type 2 diabetes in Kenangan Baru Village. This type of research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental research design with a one group pretest-posttest approach. The sample in this study amounted to 50 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was a knowledge and attitude questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using the Paired Sample T-Test and the Wilcoxon test. The results of the study showed an increase in the average score of knowledge and attitudes after being given health education. The statistical test results showed a p-value <0.05, indicating a significant effect of healthy lifestyle health education on improving public knowledge and attitudes regarding type 2 diabetes prevention. This study demonstrates that healthy lifestyle health education significantly improves public knowledge and attitudes regarding type 2 diabetes prevention.
