Abstract

Introduction: The issues faced by HIV/AIDS patients are not only psychological but also spiritual, such as their relationship with others, themselves, and God. The negative labels received by HIV/AIDS patients can sometimes lead them to blame God for the trials they face, as each individual has different levels of spirituality. Objectives:The purpose of this research is to understand the spiritual experiences of HIV/AIDS clients at Waluyo Jati Regional Hospital, Kraksaan Probolinggo.  Methods: This study employs a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The number of informants in this study is five people, who have reached saturation. Results: The results of the study show that the spiritual experiences of HIV/AIDS clients involve drawing closer to God by praying and spending their free time reciting the Quran. However, in their relationships with others, HIV/AIDS clients keep their illness a secret because they fear being shunned by those around them, and they even hide it from their families. Conclusions: Therefore, further research is needed to address the social issues faced by HIV/AIDS patients.

Abstract

Introduction:  Hypertension is a major global health issue contributing significantly to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In Indonesia, the increasing prevalence of hypertension highlights the need for effective, low-cost, non-pharmacological interventions, such as Slow Stroke Back Massage (SSBM), which may offer physiological and psychological benefits.  Objectives:  This study aimed to determine the effect of Slow Stroke Back Massage on reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure among individuals with primary hypertension.  Methods:  A quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was conducted. Participants aged 40–70 years with primary hypertension were purposively selected and divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received SSBM once daily for three consecutive days, while the control group received standard care. Blood pressure measurements were recorded before and after intervention using calibrated digital sphygmomanometers. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests. Results:  The intervention group experienced a significant reduction in both systolic (from 150.2 ± 10.5 mmHg to 137.6 ± 9.8 mmHg) and diastolic (from 95.8 ± 6.2 mmHg to 87.3 ± 5.6 mmHg) blood pressure (p < 0.001). No statistically significant changes were observed in the control group. These results support the efficacy of SSBM as an adjunctive therapy in hypertension management.  Conclusions: SSBM is an effective, low-cost, and non-invasive complementary intervention for lowering blood pressure in patients with primary hypertension. It can be integrated into nursing care practices, especially in primary healthcare settings, to enhance hypertension management outcomes.
