Abstract

This study aims to analyze stroke as a global health problem by examining its theoretical framework, scientific definitions, and underlying mechanisms through a comprehensive descriptive analysis. The research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method through a literature study. Data were collected through systematic literature searches and document analysis of credible academic sources, including peer reviewed journal articles and scientific publications discussing stroke epidemiology, risk factors, and pathophysiology. The collected literature was analyzed through qualitative procedures consisting of theme identification, data reduction, conceptual categorization, and inductive interpretation to develop a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The results indicate that stroke remains one of the leading causes of mortality and long term disability worldwide, characterized by complex interactions between vascular dysfunction, metabolic risk factors, and molecular mechanisms such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and neurovascular unit disruption. Hypertension and metabolic disorders were identified as the most significant modifiable risk factors contributing to the increasing global burden of stroke. Furthermore, advances in molecular neuroscience and emerging neurorehabilitation strategies provide new insights into prevention, diagnosis, and recovery processes. These findings highlight the importance of integrated approaches combining preventive healthcare, early detection, and multidisciplinary treatment strategies to address the global impact of stroke. In conclusion, this study contributes to strengthening the theoretical understanding of stroke as a multidimensional health issue and provides a conceptual foundation for future research and policy development in global health and cerebrovascular disease management.

Abstract

Stroke patients generally need a long recovery because most individuals undergoing hospital treatment experience disabilities in several parts of the body. Therefore, survivors need the help of other people to live daily life; this role is taken on by caregivers. Caregivers play a crucial role for stroke survivors during the process of long-term rehabilitation and must assume many responsibilities. For this reason, knowledge and skills are needed in caring for post-stroke patients at home. One of the efforts that can be done is through education and training for caregivers and health cadres. This community service activity aimed to enhance cadres’ and caregivers’ knowledge and skill in providing care for families after a stroke. The target population comprised 16 caregivers and seven cadres who supported the families. The results of the community service activities demonstrated an increase in caregivers' knowledge by 32.8 points following the training activities, with a p-value of 0.001 (<α= 0.05), indicating that the difference between the pre- and post-values is statistically significant. The results of observations of cadre and caregiver skills regarding post-stroke care at home include Range of Motion (ROM) exercises, assistance with daily activities, and training in communication in the moderate category. Cadres are expected to continue supporting families as caregivers to be able to care for post-stroke patients at home.

Abstract

Hipertensi merupakan silent disease atau penyakit yang tidak diketahui. Data epidemiologis menunjukkan orang dewasa berusia 18 tahun ke atas berisiko lebih tinggi terkena hipertensi. Prevalensi hipertensi di Bengkulu cukup tinggi. Data dinkes kota Bengkulu tercatat 36.404 jiwa terdiagnosa hipertensi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pijat kaki dan aromaterapi lavender terhadap tekanan darah pada pasien hipertensi di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sawah Besar Kota Bengkulu. Jenis penelitian ini sebagai penelitian kuantitatif menggunakan desain quasi experiment memakai post-test dan pre-test design with control group dengan total sampel 36 orang, terbagi menjadi 2 kelompok yaitu kelompok intervensi 18 orang serta kelompok kontrol 18 orang. Pemilihan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dimana responden diambil berdasarkan kriteria insklusi yang meliputi usia antara 18-50 tahun, tekanan darah sistolik ≥ 140 mmHg dan diastolik ≥ 90 mmHg. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu tensimeter digital yang sudah teruji validitas diadakan dengan kalibrasi yakni memperbandingkan tekanan darah pertama serta kedua dengan memakai tensimeter omicron. Uji reliabilitas diadakan melewati pengukuran tekanan darah sejumlah 2 kali. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rata-rata tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik antara kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Uji statistik menggunakan metode Independent T-test menunjukkan nilai p-value sebesar 0,001 (p-value ≤ α 0,05), yang menunjukkan adanya pengaruh foot massage dan aromaterapi lavender terhadap tekanan darah pada penderita hipertensi. Diharapkan penderita hipertensi dapat menerapkan secara mandiri intervensi yang telah diajarkan agar tekanan darah dapat terkontrol.
