Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is metabolic dysfunction that increasing the number of blood glucose with enhancement incidences. Increasing blood glucose levels for a long time causes chronic microvascular and neuropathic complications, and impaired peripheral circulation of the lower extremities. The actions that can be done in form of leg exercise, such as Buerger Allen exercise. Objectives: the study aim is to find out the effect of the Buerger Allen exercise on peripheral circulation of the lower extremity in patients with diabetes mellitus. Method: descriptive qualitative design with a literature review approach. The databases used are PubMed, Pro-Quest, DOAJ, and Google Scholar. Result: 86 articles were found. After the identification, screening, and eligibility process, 12 articles were obtained. The indicators are ABI values (9 articles), HbO2 and HbT concentrations (2 articles), and capillary refill time (1 article). Conclusion: Buerger Allen exercise significantly increases the level of peripheral perfusion pressure due to postural changes, modulation of gravity, and the application of muscle pump that increases the ABI values, increases HbO2 and HbT concentrations, and decreases the capillary refill time. Further study can examine the frequency and duration that is most appropriate in providing intervention, comparing Buerger Allen exercise with other foot exercise methods, and using a randomized control trial research method.

Abstract

Hypertension is one health problem that continues to increase in the elderly age group. The increasing prevalence of hypertension from year to year requires treatment efforts, one of which is through hypertension care management. Treatment of hypertension by the family involves knowledge and skills, so there is a need for assistance from health workers to caregivers who care for the elderly with hypertension. This study aimed to provide an understanding of the family and direct application to care for the elderly with hypertension. The research is a case study involving six families and elderly clients with hypertension. Respondents are elderly who have hypertension and still live with their families as caregivers. Interventions are carried out in the form of assistance to families in implementing control of taking hypertension medication, stress management, physical exercise, and regulation of eating patterns. Results: all of the elderly experienced a decrease in blood pressure on the 3rd weekend. Family assistance in the implementation of self-management of the elderly effectively reduced the blood pressure of the hypertensive elderly. Health center staff are expected to be able to increase motivation and family participation in assisting the elderly with hypertension.
