Abstract

One of the basic considerations that can be used is the credibility of the hospital based on brand pride and brand loyalty. However, in hospitality, it is stated that brand pride has not been proven effect on brand loyalty, especially in the hospital industry sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the Grand Theory Rational Choice Theory (RCT) to validate individual behavior by involving self-esteem, digital customer review and self-regulation is believed to make a positive contribution to strengthening brand pride of hospital customers for brand loyalty during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research contributes in the form of positive input for the hospital sector to be able to provide good services during the covid 19 pandemic.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease affecting millions globally, characterized by pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. While conventional treatments, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy, and surgery offer symptomatic relief, they often have associated side effects and long-term risks. In contrast, acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine technique, has emerged as a popular alternative for OA management. Despite its extensive use, debates persist regarding the physiological mechanisms underlying acupuncture and its long-term efficacy. Methods: This literature review examines recent clinical studies and meta-analyses focused on acupuncture therapy for OA. The analysis involved selecting articles from respected databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus, and concentrated on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews, and cohort studies published in the past decade. Results: The analysis reveals that acupuncture can significantly alleviate OA-related pain and enhance joint function. Research indicates that acupuncture facilitates the release of endorphins, modulates inflammatory responses, and improves blood circulation in the affected joints. Notably, electroacupuncture, an advanced form of traditional acupuncture, has shown superior effectiveness in relieving OA symptoms. However, the diversity in study designs, acupuncture methods, and individual patient reactions creates challenges in formulating standardized treatment protocols. Conclusion: Acupuncture emerges as a promising complementary therapy for OA, providing pain relief and improved mobility with minimal side effects. Nevertheless, additional high-quality research is essential to establish comprehensive treatment protocols, verify long-term benefits, and incorporate acupuncture into evidence-based medical practice.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi karakteristik kardiometabolik lansia dalam skrining komunitas dengan fokus pada peran Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) terhadap risiko dislipidemia. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah desain potong lintang (cross-sectional) dengan total sampling pada 40 lansia berusia ≥60 tahun yang mengikuti skrining kesehatan komunitas di Padang Panjang tahun 2024. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi pengukuran antropometri, profil lipid, dan tekanan darah, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji chi-square dan korelasi Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan prevalensi dislipidemia sebesar 77,5% pada lansia, dengan prevalensi tertinggi pada kelompok kelebihan berat badan (93,3%) dan obesitas (83,3%), meskipun perbedaan antar kategori IMT tidak signifikan secara statistik (p = 0,105). Nilai IMT berkorelasi positif signifikan dengan kadar trigliserida (r = 0,43; p = 0,005) dan LDL-C (r = 0,34; p = 0,034). Simpulan dari penelitian ini adalah kenaikan IMT berhubungan erat dengan peningkatan risiko dislipidemia, sehingga pengukuran IMT dapat digunakan sebagai alat skrining awal yang efektif untuk mengidentifikasi lansia berisiko tinggi dan memandu intervensi pencegahan sekunder di tingkat komunitas.
