Abstract

Hypertension is a growing global health problem, characterized by systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg. It is often called "The Silent Killer" because its symptoms are subtle. This disease has the potential to cause serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Factors such as unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, and increasing age contribute to the increasing prevalence of hypertension, as reported by the WHO and the Ministry of Health. This condition requires a comprehensive treatment approach, using both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. One non-pharmacological alternative that is attracting attention is foot massage therapy. This therapy is based on the principle of stimulating acupuncture points in the feet, which can improve blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and reduce stress hormones such as cortisol and norepinephrine. With its deep relaxation effect, foot massage not only has the potential to lower blood pressure but also improves sleep quality and reduces anxiety, thereby improving the overall quality of life for hypertensive patients. Several previous studies support the effectiveness of this therapy in significantly lowering systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This study aims to test the effect of foot massage therapy on blood pressure in hypertensive patients in Wukirsari Village, Tambakromo District, Pati Regency. The research design used was observational with a pre-test and post-test control method. The intervention group received 20 minutes of foot massage therapy every evening, while the control group received education about hypertension. Blood pressure measurements were conducted using a sphygmomanometer with systematic recording according to standard operating procedures, thus obtaining valid data regarding differences in blood pressure before and after the intervention. Methodologically, this study involved 35 hypertensive patients selected purposively based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Primary data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and recording of blood pressure measurements, while secondary data were obtained from official sources such as community health centers (Puskesmas) and the Health Office. Data analysis was conducted descriptively to describe the parameters of each variable, and inferentially using t-tests (paired and independent) to test for significant differences between the intervention and control groups. The study results are expected to provide a strong scientific basis for the application of foot massage therapy as an alternative or complementary treatment for hypertension, while also opening opportunities for further research in this area.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion and action. Uncontrolled blood sugar levels increase the risk of various complications. One complementary intervention that can help lower blood sugar levels is foot massage, a foot massage technique that involves pressure and manipulation to stimulate nerve points, improve blood circulation, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and provide a relaxing effect. This study aims to determine the effect of foot massage on blood sugar levels in patients with T2DM. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test post-test control group design. A total of 40 respondents were divided into two groups: 20 respondents in the intervention group who were given foot massage for 10 consecutive days (15 minutes per session), and 20 respondents in the control group who only received health education. Blood sugar levels were measured before and after the intervention. In the intervention group, the average blood sugar level decreased by 14.90 mg/dL with a p value of 0.042 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant decrease. In the control group, the average decrease was 27.15 mg/dL with a p value of 0.056 (p > 0.05), which means it is not significant. These results indicate that foot massage has a real effect in reducing blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 DM. Foot massage is effectively used as a complementary therapy to help reduce blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 DM. This therapy can be integrated into health services or done independently at home with the guidance of health workers.

Furthermore, face-to-face training was carried out which included an understanding of digital business concepts, online marketing strategies, and hands-on practice of using the platform. The training was attended by 55 female MSME participants assisted by the Tangerang Regency Cooperatives and SMEs Office. The results of the observation showed an increase in participants' understanding of e-commerce, and as many as 84% of participants successfully registered and activated online stores  in Bala Niaga. This activity shows that the combination of  digital platform development  and applied training is effective in encouraging the digital transformation of women's MSMEs. Continuous assistance is needed so that the use of this technology can be more optimal and sustainable.
