Abstract

The majority of children affected by dental caries reside in middle-income countries. Dental caries is the most common oral health problem, affecting 2 billion people with permanent teeth and 514 million children with primary teeth. This condition can negatively impact children’s quality of life, including eating, sleeping, and learning. To improve children’s knowledge of oral health, a structured and continuous intervention was implemented using puppet stage promotive media and proper toothbrushing techniques. The approach included community education, technology and science diffusion (IPTEKS), and practical training. Among 23 children, prior to the intervention, 10 children (43.5%) were categorized as good and 13 children (56.5%) as adequate. Following the intervention, 18 children (78.2%) were classified as good and 5 children (21.8%) as adequate. Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a significant improvement in knowledge. These results demonstrate that puppet stage promotive media, delivered through a structured educational approach, effectively enhances children’s understanding of oral health and promotes healthy behaviors from an early age.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a condition that is often found in primary health care. Basic Health Research data for 2018 show that the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia is 34.1%. Efforts that have been made to reduce the impact of hypertension include pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. Herbal therapy is included in complementary therapy, one of the herbal therapies to reduce blood pressure is the consumption of garlic. Garlic contains allicin and hydrogen sulfide which dilate and make blood vessels less rigid so blood pressure will decrease. Purpose: To determine the effect of garlic extract on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Methods: This is a pretest-posttest pre-experimental study for the causal relationship of garlic extract with a decrease in blood pressure. The samples of this study were hypertensive patients. The statistical tests used were the friedman test to compare pre, post-1, and post-2 and the Wilcoxon test to compare two repeated observations which were analyzed using Software Program Statistics System.  Results: For systolic blood pressure, the statistical test results obtain a p-value of (0.000) <0.05, which means that there is a change in blood pressure between pre, post-1, and post-2, with a change in magnitude of 13.43. Meanwhile, for diastolic blood pressure, the statistical test results obtain a p-value of (0.000) <0.05, which means that there is a change in blood pressure between pre, post-1, and post-2, with a change in magnitude of 8.67. Conclusion: There is an effect of garlic extract on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
