Abstract

Brain blood vessels block or rupture in cerebrovascular disease (CVD), limiting oxygen and nutrient delivery to brain tissue. An untreated stroke can cause lasting brain damage, disability, or even death. Common complications include muscle weakness, coordination issues, difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, reduced sensitivity, facial or bodily paralysis, and balance problems. Stroke survivors are advised to engage in physical exercises such as heel raises and sit-to-stand (STS) movements to address balance impairments. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of heel raise and STS exercises on improving balance in post-stroke patients at the Sawah Lebar Public Health Center in Bengkulu Municipality. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 52 participants split evenly into intervention and control groups. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, and balance was measured using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The Mann-Whitney test revealed a significant difference in balance scores between groups (p-value = 0.000, p ≤ 0.05, indicating a positive effect of the intervention). Before intervention, both groups experienced balance impairments, with the intervention group scoring 33.04 (SD 6.095) and the control group 31.54 (SD 4.933). After the intervention, scores improved more notably in the intervention group (scored by 38.04, SD 5.744) compared to the control group (scored by 32.65, SD 5.012), p-value = 0.000 (Mann-Whitney). Intervention increased the average score by +5.00 and control by +1.12. Heel raise and sit-to-stand  (STS) exercises significantly improved balance in post-stroke patients and may serve as effective rehabilitation strategies, although further larger randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Gout arthritis is a form of joint inflammation caused by the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals, leading to reduced joint flexibility, particularly in the knees. Non-pharmacological therapies such as the Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM) technique provide a safe and effective alternative to enhance joint flexibility. However, the use of this therapy among patients with gout arthritis remains limited in primary healthcare settings. This study used a quasi-experimental design with 52 respondents divided into two groups: the intervention group (MWM) and the control group (Range of Motion exercises). Joint flexibility was measured before and after the intervention using a goniometer, and data were analyzed using statistical tests with a significance level of 0.05. The intervention group showed an increase in average joint flexibility from 123.85° to 140.19° (normal ≥140°), while the control group improved from 125.19° to 136.92°. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.034), indicating that MWM therapy was more effective in improving joint flexibility than Range of Motion (ROM) exercises. The Mulligan Mobilization with Movement technique significantly improved joint flexibility in patients with gout arthritis and is recommended as a non-invasive rehabilitation method suitable for use in primary healthcare services.

Abstract

Vertigo merupakan gangguan keseimbangan yang dapat meningkatkan risiko jatuh dan menurunkan kemampuan aktivitas sehari-hari pasien. Salah satu intervensi nonfarmakologis yang dapat digunakan dalam praktik keperawatan adalah latihan rehabilitasi vestibular berupa latihan Brandt-Daroff. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan asuhan keperawatan dengan latihan Brandt-Daroff dalam menurunkan risiko jatuh pada pasien vertigo dengan gangguan keseimbangan Penelitian menggunakan desain studi kasus deskriptif pada dua pasien vertigo di Ruang Melati RSUD Tais Kabupaten Seluma. Asuhan keperawatan dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan proses keperawatan yang meliputi pengkajian, diagnosis, perencanaan, implementasi, dan evaluasi. Intervensi utama berupa latihan Brandt-Daroff diberikan selama tiga hari berturut-turut. Risiko jatuh dinilai menggunakan Morse Fall Scale sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Kedua pasien menunjukkan penurunan keluhan pusing berputar, peningkatan keseimbangan, serta peningkatan kemandirian dalam aktivitas. Skor risiko jatuh menurun dari kategori tinggi menjadi rendah pada satu pasien dan dari kategori tinggi menjadi sedang pada pasien lainnya. Latihan Brandt-Daroff efektif membantu menurunkan gejala vertigo dan risiko jatuh pada pasien dengan gangguan keseimbangan. Intervensi ini mudah diterapkan, aman, dan dapat direkomendasikan sebagai bagian dari praktik keperawatan berbasis bukti pada pasien vertigo.

Abstract

Background: The rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly hypertension and diabetes mellitus, poses a significant public health challenge in Bengkulu City, especially in Lempuing and Nusa Indah subdistricts. Community empowerment is a strategic approach to strengthen promotive and preventive health efforts. The utilization of Tanaman Obat Keluarga (TOGA) was introduced as an innovative, culturally appropriate, and practical method aligned with Gerakan Masyarakat Hidup Sehat (GERMAS).Aims: This program aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of community health volunteers in preventing and managing NCDs, establish TOGA demonstration gardens managed by volunteers, and develop a replicable community empowerment model.Methods: A participatory approach was applied through cross-sectoral coordination with primary health centers and local government. Educational modules and media were developed, followed by training sessions for community health volunteers using lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice. Continuous mentoring supported the management of TOGA gardens. Program evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test to assess changes in volunteers’ knowledge and observations to monitor implementation.Results: The program was successfully implemented. Educational modules were developed, and training activities led to an average increase of 30% in volunteers’ knowledge scores. Two TOGA demonstration gardens were established and actively managed by volunteers. Educational media were utilized during Pos Pelayanan Terpadu (posyandu) services by community health centers and Pemberdayaan Kesehatan Keluarga (PKK) activities at Lempuing and Nusa Indah subdistricts.Conclusion: The program effectively improved the capacity of community health volunteers and promoted community participation in family-based NCD prevention and management. The TOGA-based empowerment model demonstrates strong potential for replication as a promotive and preventive strategy for NCD control.
