Abstract

Introduction: Along with the increase of older adults’ population in Indonesia, the health problems experienced by the older adults also increase. Hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases suffered by older adults. Health education is essentially important to increase the awareness of older adults about hypertension. The health education requires media that can be understood and accepted by older adults who may experience physical and cognitive function decline. Method: This study used a pre-experimental method with one group pre-posttest design. A total of 19 older adults met the sample criteria and participated in this study. The instrument used in this research was a questionnaire that has been through expert tests, validity test and reliability tests. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to determine the significance of the difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the respondents’ knowledge about hypertension. Results: The median of respondents' knowledge before health education was 6 with a range of 0-26. While after being given health education, the median score was 22 with a range of 6-24. There was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. The knowledge of respondents after being given health education seemed to increase, both in terms of gender and age. Conclusion: Health education using audio-visual media can significantly increase the knowledge of the older adults about hypertension in all gender and age categories.   Keywords: health education; hypertension; media; older adults

Abstract

Background. Online learning is a solution to inhibit the transmission of viruses during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, students can be exposed to prolonged use of gadgets which can cause myopia. This study aimed to determine the relationship between gadget use and the incidence of myopia in students at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pekajangan Pekalongan during online learning. Methods. This study was a correlational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was 121 students from grades XI and XII selected by convenience sampling technique. Data were obtained using an online questionnaire. Chi Square test was used in bivariate analysis. Binary logistic regression was used in multivariate analysis. Results. The incidence of myopia in SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pekajangan Pekalongan was 43.8%. Students who used gadgets with a duration of > 6 hours were at risk of myopia by 9.733 times compared to students who used gadgets <= 6 hours (p-value 0.001). Compared to students who used gadgets with moderate light intensity, students who used gadgets with bright intensity had a 50.058 times greater risk (p-value 0.002), students who used gadgets with dim light intensity had a 6.861 times greater risk (p-value 0.015). Students who used gadgets with a distance < 30 cm had a risk of myopia of 15.030 times compared to students who used gadgets with a distance >= 30 cm (p-value 0.013). Conclusion. There is an association between gadget use (in terms of duration, light intensity, and distance) and the incidence of myopia, even after controlling for genetic factor.
