Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 is a new type of coronavirus that has never been previously identified in humans. The spread and transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was so fast that it was designated a COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic requires the government to issue several rules to suppress the spread of the virus and this has an impact on everyone's psychology without exception for pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women. The coronavirus has disrupted pregnancy plans and heightened the anxiety of most expectant mothers, who question how the virus will affect the birth of their babies. Most pregnant women feel anxious about giving birth without their loved ones by their side. Others are afraid of being infected with COVID-19 and not being able to hug their baby. The coronavirus pandemic has added anxiety and uncertainty to the dire situation. This study is an observational analytic epidemiological study using a cross sectional design. The population in this study was 150 respondents where the sample was taken using quota sampling. Furthermore, bivariate analysis was performed using Chi Square. The results showed that the level of anxiety was related to antenatal care service visits during the COVID-19 pandemic with a p value of 0.001 and an Odds Ratio of 3.75.

Abstract

Hypertension is a silent killer, because often people with hypertension do not feel any symptoms for years. Hypertension treatment consists of 2 therapies: pharmacological and non-pharmacological. In pharmacological therapy, hypertension can be treated with antihypertensive drugs, and in non-pharmacological therapy, a combination of watermelon and cucumber juice can be consumed. Watermelon contains the amino acid citrulline, which helps lower blood pressure, while cucumber contains minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of watermelon juice (Citrullus Lanatus) and cucumber (Cucumis Sativus) on reducing blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension in RW 004, Sabajaya Village, in 2024. The research Design used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental approach. The sampling technique in this study was purposive sampling, with a sample size determined using the Frederer formula. Statistical tests used the Wilcoxon test. The sample in this study was 20 elderly respondents with hypertension. The results of the study showed a p-value of 0.001 < α (0.05), indicating that the combination of watermelon and cucumber juice reduced blood pressure in the elderly in RW 004 Sabajaya Village. This evidence supports the potential of non-drug approaches as valuable additions to hypertension treatment, encouraging clinicians and researchers to explore and adopt such alternatives.
