Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that most people suffer from. Hypertension is known as the silent killer because this disease can cause death without causing symptoms because sufferers are not aware that they have hypertension. Headaches can result in poor blood circulation to the brain and if left untreated can cause stroke and even death. One effort to manage hypertension non-pharmacologically is acupressure therapy. Stimulation of acupressure points can stimulate the release of histamine as a mediator of blood vessel vasodilation. This process results in lowering blood pressure and headaches by causing vasodilation and decreasing blood vessel resistance. The community service methods used are education, blood pressure checks and providing acupressure therapy which will be carried out in RW 2, Sumber Jaya Village, Kampung Melayu District. After carrying out community service activities targeting people who took part in posbindu activities, the results showed that there was an increase in public knowledge about the management of hypertension and the application of acupressure therapy to reduce blood pressure and reduce coconut pain in hypertension sufferers. It is hoped that the public, especially hypertension sufferers, can apply acupressure therapy to lower blood pressure and reduce coconut pain in hypertension sufferers.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in productive-age patients is a public health challenge. One of the serious complications of DM is impaired kidney function. Healthy lifestyle changes have the potential to help maintain kidney function, but understanding of patient experiences in maintaining kidney function through a healthy lifestyle is still limited. This study aims to explore the experiences of productive-age DM patients in their efforts to maintain kidney function through healthy lifestyle changes. Methods: This study used a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. A purposive sample of productive-age DM patients aged 20–45 who had undergone DM therapy for at least 2 years was selected. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, recorded, transcribed, and then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of this study examined patient experiences in terms of knowledge about kidney risks, motivation to make lifestyle changes, challenges and barriers, adaptation strategies, the role of family/environmental support, and perceptions about efforts to maintain kidney function. Conclusion: A thorough understanding of patient experiences can assist nurses and healthcare teams in designing educational interventions and healthy lifestyle support tailored to the needs of productive-age DM patients.
