Abstract

Background: Menstrual pain or dysmenorrhea is characterized by pain in the uterus or lower abdomen during menstruation. Acupuncture, as a complementary and alternative medicine method, has been widely used to treat various health problems related to gynecological problems. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in reducing menstrual pain scale. Method: This study used One group pre-post-test research design. The research sample was 20 nursing students at ITEKES Bali level II. The data were collected using an observation sheet with a Comparative Pain Scale containing a pain scale of 0-10. Results: In the pretest, there were two responses (10%) with menstrual pain on a scale of 7, 3 respondents (13%) on a scale of 5, and 1 respondent (5%) on a scale of 6 and 2 respondents (10%) with a pain scale of 2. After the intervention in the form of acupuncture, the results obtained were seven respondents (35%) with a pain scale of 0, 10 respondents (50%) with a pain scale of 1, and 2 respondents (10%) with a pain scale of 3. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed an Md value = 3.50 in the pre-intervention decreased significantly to Md=1.00 at the post-intervention with p value 0.012 with r= 0.60 and Z= 3.975. Conclusion: This study shows that acupuncture effectively reduces the pain scale in female students who experience menstrual pain.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a health problem commonly experienced by the elderly and is one of the most prevalent conditions in this age group. The effect of acupuncture in lowering blood pressure includes regulating vasoactive substances in the blood vessel endothelium. One of the active substances known to be affected by release and activation through acupuncture is Nitric Oxide (NO). This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of taichong and zusanli points of acupuncture for hypertension patients. Methods: This study employed a one-group pre-test–post-test pre-experimental design involving 40 elderly participants selected through accidental sampling during an elderly exercise program. Acupuncture intervention was performed on the LR3 and ST36 points according to clinical guidelines for 10 minutes per session by certified practitioners, with close monitoring and no reported side effects. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22, and post-intervention comparisons were conducted using paired samples t-test.  Results: The analysis showed a reduction in mean systolic blood pressure of 10.95 mmHg after the acupuncture intervention (95% CI: 155.53 to 165.87, p-value < 0.01), indicating a statistically significant pre–post difference within the sample. In contrast, the mean diastolic blood pressure decreased by 1.15 mmHg (95% CI: 76.76 to 84.19, p-value > 0.05), suggesting no statistically significant change.  Conclusion: These findings reflect an improvement in systolic, but not diastolic, blood pressure among the participating elderly individuals. Acupuncture shows potential as a supportive therapy in lowering systolic blood pressure in the elderly.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal health problems are among the most common health issues affecting communities, particularly in rural areas, due to heavy physical labor, non-ergonomic working postures, and limited access to health education. These conditions can reduce productivity, impair quality of life, and increase the risk of disability if preventive measures are not implemented early. Community-based health promotion programs that combine educational approaches with hands-on practice represent an effective strategy to enhance community knowledge and skills in preventing musculoskeletal problems. Furthermore, cross-national collaboration in community service initiatives can enrich learning methods and broaden perspectives in delivering health education. This community service program aimed to provide health promotion to prevent musculoskeletal health problems in rural areas by involving students from Indonesia and Thailand. The program employed a pre- and post-intervention design to evaluate improvements in knowledge and skills among 20 participants in a rural community. The results demonstrated increased competency following student-led simulations, with correct responses rising to 95% in injury prevention, 90% in stretching and muscle strengthening, and 90% in the ability to identify populations vulnerable to musculoskeletal problems. Specifically, participants’ ability to perform back-strengthening exercises improved to a mean score of 4.10±1.02, indicating that direct demonstration of techniques had a significant impact. Participants also showed the highest level of confidence when performing upper-arm stretching exercises, with a mean score of 4.65±0.87, reflecting strong understanding among the participants. Another key finding revealed that video was the most preferred learning method, chosen by 55% of participants. The use of this learning medium has considerable potential to support musculoskeletal health promotion in rural communities. Overall, the program achieved its intended objectives and provides a replicable model for similar health promotion initiatives in other rural areas. These findings may inform future health promotion strategies by emphasizing the use of multimedia and experiential learning approaches in delivering education and enhancing skills within musculoskeletal health programs.
