Abstract

Obesity with dyslipidemia is a serious problem because it risks various degenerative and metabolic diseases. The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia continues to increase every year, currently in the adult population reaching 21.8%. To prevent the onset of degenerative diseases and metabolic disorders, it is important to control obesity with dyslipidemia through weight loss and lipid profile improvement. This study aims to determine the effect of nutritional counseling in losing weight and improving lipid profiles in obese patients with dyslipidemia. This is a pseudo-experimental study with One group Pre and Post Test Design. The initial stage was the identification of obesity and lipid profile. In 100 respondents identified as obese, total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides were examined. 40 obese respondents with dyslipidemia were determined as samples. The second stage was nutrition counseling intervention. The third stage of evaluation is the re-measurement of body weight and lipid profile. The research result is only 30 respondents participated in the evaluation. Average initial body weight was 75.11 kg and final body weight was 73.14 kg. Average weight loss was 1.97 kg. Average initial cholesterol 233.20 mg/dL and final cholesterol 224.70 mg/dL. Average cholesterol reduction of 8.5 mg/dL. Average initial LDL 152.37 mg/dL and final LDL 139.47 mg/dL. Average decrease in LDL 12.9 mg/dL Average initial triglycerides 161.23 mg/dL and final triglycerides 143.97 mg/dL. The average decrease in triglycerides is 17.26 mg/dL. The statistical test results showed a p-value = 0.000. There is an effect of nutritional counseling on weight loss and improvement of lipid profiles of obese patients with dyslipidemia.

Abstract

Hypertension is the main cause of death for pregnant women, which is 31,90% in 2022. Early detection of hypertension complications tends to be actively carried out by health workers rather than empowering mothers, husbands, and families. This study aims to identify the differences in knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women regarding the early detection of hypertensive complications and the role of family support in hypertension prevention, before and after receiving intervention through the use of booklets. This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pretest-posttest design with 60 hypertensive pregnant women. Participants completed questionnaires measuring knowledge and attitudes about hypertension. After receiving a hypertension booklet to read for three days, follow-up evaluations were conducted on family support (day 10), early detection of complications, and blood pressure (day 14). Data were analyzed using paired sample tests. The research results show that the knowledge significantly improved after the intervention (mean increase of 2.47, p=0.000), while no significant change was found in attitudes (p=0.214). Family support roles increased significantly (mean increase of 2.02, p=0.000). Additionally, 88.3% of respondents could detect early hypertension complications, and 81.7% had normal blood pressure after the intervention. The conclusion is there are differences in the knowledge of pregnant women and the role of family in the prevention of pregnancy hypertension before and after receiving the booklet intervention. There is no difference in the attitude of pregnant women before and after receiving the booklet intervention. Suggestions for researchers further need to formulate strategies related to early detection of pregnancy hypertension starting from the family level by involving a network of cooperation between the government and community organizations to prioritize health education at the family level.
