Abstract

Background: Stroke frequently causes persistent disability and dependence in activities of daily living. Family support may facilitate rehabilitation by reinforcing treatment adherence, daily activity practice, continuity of care, and psychosocial adjustment. Purpose: To examine the association between family support and functional independence among post-stroke patients attending a neurology outpatient clinic. Method: This cross-sectional analytic study included 71 post-stroke patients recruited through purposive sampling at the neurology outpatient clinic of Jenderal Ahmad Yani Metro Regional General Hospital. Data were collected from May 21 to May 31, 2025. Descriptive statistics summarized participant characteristics and study variables, and the chi-square test was used to assess the association between family support and functional independence. Results: High family support was the most frequently reported category, identified in 23 participants (32.4%), and 19 participants (26.8%) were classified as independent. Family support was significantly associated with functional independence (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Family support was associated with functional independence among post-stroke patients. Because of the cross-sectional design, the findings indicate an association rather than a causal effect.

Abstract

Zinc deficiency can cause growth and health problems, whereas protein from soy sources contributes to essential nutritional intake. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of soy plus zinc (SPZ) supplementation on growth and kidney health in Wistar rats. This study used a randomized controlled trial design with 24 rats divided into five treatment groups, including a control group. SPZ supplementation was administered daily for 14 days with varying zinc doses (0.020 mg and 0.035 mg per gram of body weight) and palatability enhancement using vanilla flavoring. Data obtained through measurements of initial and final body weights and kidney weights were analyzed using ANOVA to determine significant differences between groups. The results showed that SPZ supplementation positively contributed to growth, as evidenced by a significant increase in the final weight of rats compared to their initial weight (p < 0.05). Histological analysis of the kidneys indicated no visible structural damage, and the average increase in kidney weight was approximately 26.5%. The combination of soy and zinc in SPZ was shown to have a synergistic effect that benefits the development and kidney health of rats, demonstrating its potential application in the context of animal nutrition.

Method: This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The study population, consisting of 56 hypertensive patients in Simbaringin Hamlet, was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted on May 26-29, 2025. The research instruments used were the Hypertension Knowledge Level Scale (HK-LS) questionnaire and the CERDIK behavior questionnaire. Results: The analysis showed a significant relationship between age and knowledge and CERDIK behavior (p < 0.05), education and CERDIK behavior. Education and knowledge, gender, and occupation were not significantly related to knowledge and CERDIK behavior (p > 0.05). Conclusion: This study shows that the majority of hypertension patients in Simbaringin Hamlet, Hajimena Community Health Center, have a good level of knowledge about hypertension and demonstrate good CERDIK behavior. These results indicate that the health education provided has sufficiently reached a large portion of the community, and that hypertension patients are taking concrete action to prevent complications.   Keywords: CERDIK Behavior; Hypertension; Knowledge.   Pendahuluan : Hipertensi merupakan suatu kondisi ketika tekanan darah sistolik melebihi 140 mmHg dan/atau tekanan diastolic melebihi 90 mmHg, atau apabila seseorang sedang menjalani pengobatan dengan obat antihipertensi untuk mengontrol tekanan darahnya.

Abstract

Background: Stroke patients often experience a decline in their ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL) due to impaired motor function. Range of Motion (ROM) therapy is a non-pharmacological intervention that can help improve motor function and independence in stroke patients. Purpose: To determine the effect of ROM therapy on ADL ability in stroke patients. Method: This study employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group approach. The independent variable was ROM therapy, while the dependent variable was the ADL ability of stroke patients. The sample consisted of 36 respondents selected via purposive sampling. The study was conducted from March to May 2026. Data were collected using the Barthel Index observation sheet and subsequently analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, paired t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Research indicates an effect of ROM therapy on ADL ability in stroke patients, with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that ROM therapy contributes to improved ADL capabilities in stroke patients.   Keywords: Activities of Daily Living; Dependence; Independence; Range of Motion; Stroke
