The increasing age, the more problems faced both physically and mentally such as loneliness, anxiety and depression. The prevalence of anxiety in the elderly is increasing. The increased release of the hormones cortisol and epinephrine in someone who is experiencing anxiety can affect an increase in gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis which results in an increase in blood sugar levels. This study was to analyze the relationship between anxiety levels and blood sugar levels in the elderly. The research design uses a cross sectional approach. The sample for this research was 87 respondents who were taken by purposive sampling from 111 elderly people.  The results of the Pearson correlations test showed that there was a relationship between anxiety and blood sugar levels in the elderly with a p value = 0.000 (<0.05). Therefore, the elderly can control their anxiety to reduce the risk of increasing blood sugar levels which have an impact on the health of the elderly

Abstract

Gout arthritis is a disease characterized by pain caused by deposits of monosodium crystals that accumulate in the joints due to high levels of uric acid in the blood. Currently, pain management treatment for gout arthritis patients focuses on pharmacological treatment by providing analgesics to relieve pain. Soursop leaf extract has been proven to have an effect in reducing pain, but there has been no research regarding the effect of boiled soursop leaves to reduce it. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of giving soursop leaf decoction on reducing pain in gout arthritis patients. The research used a quasi-experimental design with a one group pre-posttest design. The sample selected by using purposive sampling technique, totaling 18 people. The independent variable was soursop leaf decoction. The dependent variable was the pain in gout arthritis. The data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test statistical test. The compounds contained in soursop leaves function as a strong analgesic (pain reliever) and have antioxidant properties. The antioxidant properties contained in soursop leaves can reduce the formation of uric acid by inhibiting the production of the enzyme xanthine oxidase. This combination of analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties can reduce gout. This study found that there was an effect of giving soursop leaf decoction on reducing pain in gout arthritis patients.
