Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a chronic disease often referred to as a "silent killer" because it frequently presents without symptoms until serious complications occur. Adherence to blood pressure control is essential for successful management and prevention of complications. However, adherence among hypertensive patients remains low in many primary healthcare settings. To address this issue, the "Ikan Manori Sapuka" program was implemented as a community-based intervention to improve patient adherence to blood pressure control. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Ikan Manori Sapuka program in improving adherence among hypertensive patients. Methods: This study used a pre-experimental one-group design that followed the TREND reporting guideline. The sample consisted of 84 respondents obtained through a total sampling technique. Inclusion criteria included patients aged 40–85 years who consented to participate, while exclusion criteria were a history of stroke or refusal to participate. Data analysis was performed using the McNemar test to see significant differences before and after the intervention. Results: Adherence to blood pressure control increased from 33.3% before the intervention to 82.1% after the intervention. This improvement was statistically significant (p < 0.001), with a risk difference of 48.8%, indicating a substantial magnitude of improvement following the intervention. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that a structured, community-based intervention significantly improves adherence to blood pressure control among hypertensive patients in remote island settings. This evidence supports the use of low-cost, locally adaptable community engagement strategies to strengthen hypertension management in primary healthcare services.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a medical condition caused by disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to cell death and often resulting in paralysis. This condition can reduce patients’ confidence and independence, particularly among individuals in the productive age group. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between service quality and the independence of stroke patients. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with an analytical cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 40 stroke patients receiving home care services. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: The findings indicated a significant relationship between service quality and patient independence. Patients who received better-quality services tended to have higher levels of independence. Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), confirming the significance of the relationship. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between home care service quality and the independence of stroke patients. Improving service quality is essential to enhance patient independence in home care settings.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to analyze biology education students’ scientific literacy in psychiatric contexts, particularly in interpreting neurobiological mechanisms and behavior. A mixed-methods approach with a convergent parallel design was employed, involving 40 students. Data were collected through scenario-based tests (stress, anxiety, depression) and in-depth interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and One-Way ANOVA, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. The results indicate that scientific literacy is at a moderate level, with higher performance in explaining biological phenomena than in interpreting behavior and making evidence-based decisions. Significant differences were found across cases (p < 0.01), with the lowest performance in depression cases. Qualitative findings reveal the dominance of semi-scientific reasoning due to limited conceptual integration. This study highlights that scientific literacy in psychiatric contexts is integrative, requiring the linkage between neurobiological mechanisms and behavioral interpretation, and underscores the importance of contextual and authentic biology learning.Keywords: Scientific literacy, maternal context, physiological changes, pregnancy complications, education, contextual learning
