Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a global health problem with increasing prevalence. According to data from the International Diabetes Federation (1), more than 537 million people worldwide suffer from DM. Aerobic exercise has been recommended as a non-pharmacological intervention to control blood glucose levels, but further research is needed to determine its effectiveness in various clinical contexts. Various measures are taken to prevent and control diabetic neuropathy and improve peripheral circulation through the five pillars of DM management, namely education, nutrition, physical activity, pharmacological therapy, and blood glucose monitoring. Physical activity is an important element in preventing and managing type 2 DM. Aerobic exercise is a series of deliberately selected movements that follow the rhythm of music that is also selected so as to create certain rhythmic, continuity, and duration provisions. Subjects and Method: This study used 30 subjects with a quasi-experimental method with one group pretest and posttest design with control. The total sample was 30 patients, namely 15 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group. This study was conducted on subjects aged 40-60 years in Tohudan Village, Colomadu, Karanganyar. The intervention group underwent an aerobic exercise program three times a week for 12 weeks, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Blood sugar levels were measured before and after the intervention. Results: There was a significant effect between random blood glucose levels in patients given the intervention, with a mean difference of -46,000, indicating that after being given an aerobic exercise intervention, random blood glucose could decrease by about 46 mg/dl. Conclusion: There is an effect of aerobic exercise on blood sugar control in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea or menstrual pain is one of the gynecological conditions often experienced during adolescence, significantly disrupting activities and often requiring sufferers to rest and abandon their activities. Objectives: This research was conducted to determine the Effectiveness of Physical Exercise on Dysmenorrhea Pain in Adolescents. Methods: This study is a quasiexperimental study with a Two group Pre and Post Test design, using purposive sampling technique. Subjects: The total sample consisted of 30 adolescent girls experiencing dysmenorrhea, where 15 subjects were given physical exercise and 15 other subjects served as a control group. Each research subject underwent pain degree measurement before and after treatment using VAS. Results: The difference test between group 1 and group 2 using Independent T-test showed a result of p = 0.001 (p<0.05), indicating a difference in effect. Conclusion: The group that received physical training was more effective in reducing the degree of dysmenorrhea pain in adolescents. Keywords: Physical exercise, Pain, Dysmenorrhea

Abstract

Background: Sleep disruptions and pattern alterations are more common in the elderly. The physical well-being, mental clarity, and overall quality of life of the elderly can all be greatly impacted by these changes. The following are some of the main problems with the elderly's sleep quality. The objective of this research is to determine the effect of foot massage on quality sleep in the elderly.  Methods: Quasi-experimental research with pretest and posttest control group design approach. Participants were selected using a non-probability purposive sampling technique based on inclusion criteria related to age and sleep disturbances, with a total of 25 elderly individuals. Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group I receives the foot massage treatment and group II is the control group. This study measured the quality of sleep in the elderly. The research instrument used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).  Results: The analysis includes 25 participants, divided into two groups. In Group 1, all 14 participants showed a decrease in sleep quality scores, which is statistically significant (p<0.001). In group II, the change is not statistically significant (p=0.724), indicating that most participants did not experience substantial changes in sleep quality.  Conclusion: Foot massage is a non-pharmacological intervention demonstrated to enhance sleep quality among elderly individuals. The analysis indicates that foot massage significantly enhances blood circulation and muscle relaxation, contributing to improved sleep quality. This intervention shows potential as a practical and non-pharmacological method for managing sleep disturbances in the elderly.

Abstract

Background: Overweight can affect the quadriceps angle (Q-angle), which plays an important role in knee balance and stability, especially in the elderly. Q-angle imbalance has the potential to cause musculoskeletal disorders. This study aims to determine the relationship between overweight and Q-angle in the elderly. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted on December 1 and 5, 2022, at the Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital Retirees Association. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample size of 54 elderly people (14 men and 40 women) aged 60–75 years. Data were collected using observation sheets and measurements of height, weight, and Q-angle in the supine position. Data analysis used Spearman's correlation test because the data were not normally distributed. Results: The average age of respondents was 64.41±3.77 years with a body mass index (BMI) of 27.41±1.22 kg/m² and an average Q-angle of 17.78±3.42°. The correlation test results showed a p-value >0.05 (r=0.196), indicating no significant relationship between overweight and Q-angle in the elderly. Conclusion: There is no relationship between overweight and Q-angle in the elderly. These results indicate that the measurement position, activities prior to measurement, and physical characteristics of the elderly can affect Q-angle values. The researchers suggest that Q-angle examinations in the elderly be performed in a functional position (standing) and with relaxed muscles.

Abstract

Background: A common problem among the elderly is a decline in functional capacity, which can affect their balance and lead to a high risk of falling. Balance is the ability to maintain body position while stationary or moving. Maintaining balance in the elderly is important to enable them to remain independent in performing various daily activities. The Step Test is one of the measurement tools that can be used to determine the level of balance in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Step Test in measuring balance in the elderly by comparing it with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Methods: This study used a descriptive research design with an observational method involving 20 elderly subjects.  Results: Based on the validity test, p=0.001 and r=0.689 were obtained, which means that there is a strong relationship between the Step Test and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The interrater reliability test yielded a result of p=0.000 and ICC=0.897, while the intrarater reliability test yielded a result of p=0.000 and ICC=0.881. Conclusion: The Step Test is proven to be valid and reliable for measuring balance in the elderly. The Step Test is recommended for use in detecting the risk of falling more quickly and accurately in the elderly.
