Abstract

Known as hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a non-communicable disease (NCD). Preliminary study data from Dr. Kariadi Semarang Central Public Hospital indicated 561 patients with hypertension over the last three years (2021–2023). Hypertension symptoms often resemble those of other diseases and can vary among individuals, including fatigue, palpitations, increased blood pressure, nosebleeds, headaches, and nocturia, which can disrupt sleep quality. One of the non-pharmacological effort to prevent hypertension is slow-stroke back massage, This study aimed to determine the effect of slow-stroke back massage on blood pressure and sleep quality in hypertension sufferers. The research design employed a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, involving 42 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The results demonstrated that slow-stroke back massage effectively reduced systolic blood pressure (p-value = 0.00) and improved sleep quality scores (p-value = 0.00). Slow-stroke back massage can enhance relaxation and increase parasympathetic nerve activity, thereby reducing the heart's workload. This study recommends that nurses apply slow-stroke back massage therapy in hospitals to help control blood pressure and improve the sleep quality of hypertension sufferers.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion or function. The prevalence of diabetes continues to increase in Indonesia, particularly among adults and the elderly, requiring comprehensive and sustainable management. Diabetes management is not limited to pharmacological therapy but also includes non-pharmacological approaches such as dietary management, physical activity, and health education. One form of physical activity recommended for diabetes sufferers is diabetes exercise. This study aims to determine the effect of diabetes exercise on reducing blood glucose levels in diabetes mellitus patients enrolled in the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) at the Gunungpati Community Health Center (Puskesmas). The study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. A total of 30 respondents were randomly selected from the Prolanis patient population, and blood glucose levels were measured before and after the diabetes exercise intervention. The intervention was carried out routinely and structured over a certain period. The analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test showed a statistically significant decrease in blood glucose levels after diabetes exercise, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The average blood glucose level decreased from 260.27 mg/dL to 211.33 mg/dL. This study concluded that diabetes exercise is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention in helping control blood glucose levels. Therefore, routine implementation of diabetes exercise in primary healthcare facilities needs to be promoted as a simple, effective, and affordable promotive and preventive strategy.
