Abstract

COVID-19 has an impact on the education sector. Transitioning from face-to-face to online learning puts students at risk for back pain as they must perform most tasks in a sitting position with a non-ergonomic posture. The aim was to analyze the relationship between the sitting position and low back pain during online learning. In this study, we used a cross-section design. A total of 224 nursing students participated in the study. Sampling was done randomly, and data collection using online questionnaires. Data analysis was done descriptively and inferentially. The Chi-Square test was used to determine the correlation between sitting position and low back pain. The results showed that almost half (49.1%) of students sat down when learning online, and the incidence of low back pain in students was as much as 45.1%. In addition, the results also showed no significant association (p-value = 7,035 ≥ 0.05; r = 0.030) between sitting position and low back pain incidence in nursing students during online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sitting position factor is not the primary determinant of low back pain. Therefore, further research is needed concerning other low back pain events.

Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension highlights the need for patients to manage their blood pressure independently, which is linked to health literacy. However, the relationship between self-care management and health literacy requires empirical validation. This study investigates the correlation between health literacy and self-care management among hypertensive patients at public health facilities. The study used a cross-sectional design involving 81 hypertensive patients aged 18 and older, sampled from a health centre in Bandung Regency, Indonesia. Health literacy was assessed using a hypertension health literacy scale, and self-care management was evaluated with a 40-item questionnaire. Kendall's Tau b was used for inferential analysis to examine the relationship between health literacy and self-care management. The findings indicated a significant correlation between health literacy and self-care management (t = 0.342; p < 0.05), showing that individuals with higher health literacy manage their hypertension more effectively and achieve better blood pressure control. These results pertain only to a specific population, suggesting further research on health literacy and self-care management among hypertensive patients in various health facilities
