Abstract

Background: Ulcers are one of the complications of Diabetes Mellitus. Modern society prefers non-pharmacological nursing procedures that are far from chemicals and are more traditional with natural ingredients and affordable prices and researchers found that mindi leaves with ingredients that can be used as anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-bacterial are used to treat diabetic ulcers which are packaged in in hydrogel as a basic ingredient for modern treatments (modern dressings) at a dose of 270 mg to reduce the number of bacterial colonies in grade II diabetic ulcer patients. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of Melia Azedarach L hydrogel in reducing the number of bacterial colonies in sufferers of grade II diabetic ulcers. Method: Experiment with a sample size of 40 respondents through stratified random sampling and using the General Linear Model effectiveness test. Results: Mindi leaf hydrogel significantly reduced the number of bacterial colonies in patients with grade II diabetic ulcers with a value of p = 0.036. Conclusion: Treatment of diabetic ulcers with mindi leaf hydrogel is effective in reducing the number of bacterial colonies with a p value = 0.036.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension in pregnancy is a global health problem that can increase the risk of complications for the mother and fetus. Cau Raja is a combination of 100 grams of Green Grass Jelly (Cyclea barbata Miers) and 25 mg of dried Red Ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum), containing 24 mg of flavonoids and 107 mg of potassium. These compounds can lower blood pressure in pregnant women with mild hypertension. The purpose of this study was to prove the effectiveness of Cau Raja in reducing blood pressure in pregnant women with mild hypertension. Subjects and Methods: This study used a True Experimental and Pretest-Posttest with Control Group Design. The study location was Purwokerto Timur I Community Health Center. Data collection was conducted in November 2025. The intervention group consisted of 250 ml of Cau Raja (green grass jelly with red ginger flavor) for 14 days and a control group given therapy according to SOP. The dependent variable studied was blood pressure, and the independent variables were Cau Raja (green grass jelly with red ginger flavor) and therapy according to SOP. The analysis technique used a Paired Sample T-Test. Results: The average systolic blood pressure in the intervention group after being given Cau Raja (green grass jelly with red ginger flavor) was lower (Mean = 118.88; SD = 7.16) compared to before the intervention (Mean = 129.81; SD = 4.96) and was statistically significant (p <0.001). The average diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group after being given Cau Raja (green grass jelly with red ginger flavor) was lower (Mean = 76.50; SD = 5.36) compared to before the intervention (Mean = 83.94; SD = 4.37) and was statistically significant (p <0.001). Conclusion: Giving Cau Raja (green grass jelly with red ginger flavor) has been proven to be effective in lowering blood pressure in pregnant women with mild hypertension, so it can be used as a safe and practical non-pharmacological therapy alternative.
