Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease characterized by persistently elevated blood glucose levels exceeding the normal range of 70–150 mg/dL. Effective diabetes management consists of five key components: education, nutritional therapy, physical activity (including diabetic exercises), pharmacological treatment, and regular blood glucose monitoring. Diabetic exercise, when tailored to an individual’s age and physical condition, can help lower blood glucose levels, enhance stamina, and maintain healthy body weight in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The recommended duration of diabetic exercise is at least 30 minutes per session, three to four times per week for adults, and 60 minutes with similar frequency for children and adolescents. Aim:  To analyze the effect of diabetic exercise (diabetes mellitus gymnastics) on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 20 individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, selected through purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Blood glucose levels were measured before and after the diabetic exercise intervention. Data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test to determine the statistical significance of the differences observed. Results: The findings revealed a significant reduction in blood glucose levels following the diabetic exercise intervention. The mean random blood glucose (RBG) level before the intervention was 202.85 mg/dL, and after the intervention, it decreased to 164.50 mg/dL, with a mean difference of 38.35 mg/dL. Statistical analysis using the paired t-test produced a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that diabetic exercise had a statistically significant effect in lowering average RBG levels among participants. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that diabetic exercise effectively reduces blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. These findings support the integration of structured physical activity as a safe, feasible, and non-pharmacological intervention within diabetes management programs, particularly at the primary healthcare level.

Abstract

Birth pain is a physiological condition that can cause stress, anxiety, and tension that result from childbirth, even increasing the risk of complications. This condition can cause severe labor during childbirth, which causes muscular contractions, uteroplacental circulation, vascular circulation, and cervical oxygen, causing uterine ischemia to increase the amount of pain and risk complications during labor. Attempts to reduce the pain of childbirth involve two methods of pain control: pharmacological and non-pharmacological. One attempt to reduce the pain of childbirth by non-pharmacological care could be made by inhaling an aromatic orphanage with a diffuser at the time of childbirth. The study aims to examine the effect of aromatherapy on the intensity of labor pain in the Ciamis flood district in 2025. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sampling technique used is impressive, employing the Lameshow formula with 45 respondents. The study indicates that there was an average difference in the scale of childbirth pain before and after the lavender aroma was given to mothers in childbirth in the flooded hospital. Thus, aromatherapy can be an effective alternative to non-pharmacological intervention in birth pain management.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is still the leading cause of death in brain health problems throughout Indonesia. In stroke patients, 70-80% of patients experience hemiparesis (muscle weakness on one side of the body). One of the rehabilitation and non-pharmacological interventions is muscle strength training, which stimulates nerves and increases functional motor/muscle strength using mirror therapy. Mirror therapy is a treatment for stroke patients that involves the mirror neuron system in the cerebral cortex and helps restore motor skills in the hands and mouth. Aims: To know the effect of mirror therapy on the muscle strength of stroke patients. Method: This research is a literature review. This review aims to review empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of mirror therapy in improving muscle strength in stroke patients through a systematic analysis of the literature from 2019 to 2024. The PRISMA-based search and selection procedure yielded 16 articles for analysis. Results: Based on an analysis of 16 articles, mirror therapy improves muscle strength in stroke patients (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Mirror therapy can improve muscle strength and can be used as part of standard care for stroke patients with muscle weakness, both in the hospital and at home. The author recommends the application of mirror therapy in stroke patients for self-care interventions at home,

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterised by elevated blood glucose levels and currently shows an increasing trend in prevalence, both globally and nationally. The management of DM is not only conducted pharmacologically but also through non-pharmacological therapies such as physical exercise and complementary treatments. Buerger Allen Exercise and acupressure are known to lower blood glucose levels by improving blood circulation and increasing insulin sensitivity. Aims:  To determine the effect of the combination of Buerger Allen Exercise and acupressure on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 DM at a primary healthcare facility in Tasikmalaya City. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 30 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Blood glucose levels were measured before and after the intervention. Data were analysed using the Friedman test. Results:  There was a significant decrease in blood sugar levels before and after the combination intervention of Buerger Allen Exercise and acupressure; the average blood sugar level of pretest 1 was 254.00 mg/dL and pretest 2 was 263.50 mg/dL decreasing to 222.00 mg/dL with a significant value of Chi-Square Calculation > Chi Square Table value (42.467 > 5.991) and p-value (0.000 < 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of Buerger Allen Exercise and acupressure has a significant effect on reducing blood sugar levels in type 2 DM patients at a primary healthcare facility in Tasikmalaya City
