Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health concern in tropical countries such as Indonesia, particularly during the rainy season. Early education and awareness are crucial in minimizing morbidity and mortality caused by the disease. This community engagement activity aimed to improve knowledge and awareness among patients, families, and visitors at UPT RSUD Labuang Baji Makassar regarding the prevention and early identification of DHF. The program involved structured health education sessions using a Satuan Acara Penyuluhan (SAP) plan, which included presentations, discussions, and distribution of educational materials such as posters and leaflets. The sessions were conducted in inpatient wards, engaging patients and their families. The intervention enhanced participants’ understanding of DHF symptoms, transmission, critical phases, and preventive measures such as maintaining environmental hygiene, proper water management, and promoting healthy behaviors. Increased motivation among family members was observed in taking part in preventive actions at home and in their communities. Health education efforts targeting both patients and their families are effective in raising awareness and promoting behavioral changes for DHF prevention. Continuous collaboration between healthcare providers and the community is essential to sustain preventive measures and reduce the incidence of DHF.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a progressive and irreversible condition that leads to a decline in kidney function, requiring renal replacement therapy. The intensive and prolonged treatment process often results in fatigue, which is one of the most common problems in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Elevated urea levels affect erythropoietin production, resulting in decreased red blood cell count or anemia (low hemoglobin levels), leading to energy and protein loss, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, and reduced creatinine production—contributing to decreased skeletal energy production, fatigue, and weakness. Despite the frequent pharmacological interventions, fatigue management is often inadequate due to lack of energy, limiting patients' ability to perform therapeutic activities. One of the easiest and most efficient complementary therapies is lavender aromatherapy, which does not interfere with pharmacological treatments. However, it remains underutilized. In 2022, 143 CKD patients in one hospital presented with fatigue complaints, often leading to repeated care episodes. This case study aims to analyze the application of lavender aromatherapy in reducing fatigue levels in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis.Methods: This study used a case study design with a pre-post test approach involving 3 patients selected through simple random sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through direct observation using the FACIT-Fatigue Scale.Results: The results showed a reduction in fatigue levels in all three patients. Initially, they exhibited severe fatigue. After three days of lavender aromatherapy, fatigue levels decreased to mild. Conclusion: The application of lavender aromatherapy led to a decrease in fatigue levels, suggesting that it can be an effective supportive intervention.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is defined as a condition in which an individual has a systolic blood pressure ? 140 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure ? 90 mmHg. Systolic blood pressure is the main measure used to diagnose hypertension. Hypertension is often referred to as a "silent killer" due to its asymptomatic nature, causing patients to be unaware of their condition. Globally, 1.28 billion people are affected by hypertension; in Indonesia, 70 million people (28%) have hypertension, with Jakarta ranking 9th among Indonesian provinces in 2017 with a prevalence of 33.43%. Methods: This study employed a descriptive narrative case study design. The subjects were three adult patients diagnosed with hypertension. Results: The case study showed a non-pharmacological effect of lavender aromatherapy in lowering blood pressure among hypertensive patients. All three patients were given lavender aromatherapy over three days. The goal was to reduce pain and stabilize blood pressure. Expected outcomes included decreased pain complaints, improved vital signs, and reduced BP. Conclusion: This study suggests that lavender aromatherapy can serve as an alternative nursing intervention for reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients and can be independently administered by nurses as a non-pharmacological therapy.

Abstract

Reproductive health knowledge is essential for maternal wellbeing, family planning, and public health. This study aimed to describe mothers’ knowledge of reproductive health in Bulupoddo, Sinjai. A descriptive survey design was employed, involving mothers of reproductive age as study participants. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering key aspects of reproductive health, including anatomy and physiology, reproductive hygiene, family planning, and prevention of reproductive health problems. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to summarize respondents’ knowledge levels.The results showed that mothers’ knowledge of reproductive health was generally very low. In most assessed domains, the proportion of correct responses was below 50%, indicating insufficient understanding of basic reproductive health concepts. Limited knowledge was particularly evident in areas related to reproductive function, risk factors for reproductive health disorders, and appropriate preventive practices. These findings suggest that the majority of respondents had not received adequate or effective reproductive health information.In conclusion, mothers’ knowledge of reproductive health in Bulupoddo, Sinjai remains inadequate and falls below an acceptable level. This condition highlights the urgent need for comprehensive and culturally appropriate reproductive health education programs. Strengthening health promotion and community-based education, particularly through primary health care services, is essential to improve mothers’ knowledge and support better reproductive health outcomes.
