Abstract

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in children. It often causes motor impairments that reduce functional independence and participation, particularly in countries like Indonesia and low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this study was to assess motor function, quality of life, and prevalence of CP in a community-based population. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 80 children with CP from a community in Jakarta aged 5–18 years. They were selected through purposive sampling. All participants had a confirmed diagnosis of CP and consent from their parents or guardians. Children with other physical disabilities or who were unable to communicate were excluded. The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was used to assess motor function, and the Cerebral Palsy Module of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 was used to measure quality of life. Results: A total of 83.8% of participants were adolescents aged 13–18 years with spastic CP. With 46.3% at GMFCS level IV and 28.7% at level V, severe motor impairments were common, but 61.3% of children reported a good quality of life. Motor function and quality of life were positively and significantly correlated (r = 0.345, p = 0.002). Conclusion: The motor function of children with CP is strongly associated with their quality of life. This suggests that comprehensive and ongoing rehabilitation is necessary to improve functional participation and overall well-being.

Abstract

One of the emergency complications that usually occurs is hypertension. Physical exercise, such as Anti-Hypertension Exercises, is one of the efforts needed to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. This program aims to improve community understanding and skills in controlling blood pressure through activity training (anti-hypertension exercises) to prevent hypertension-related emergencies. A health education method that provided education, demonstration, and practice of Anti-Hypertension Exercises together was carried out with 48 people with hypertension in the Kebagusan area, Pasar Minggu, Jakarta. The results of the activity showed an increase in public knowledge and attitudes about preventing hypertension emergencies through Anti-Hypertension Exercises and changes in blood pressure, both systolic, diastolic, and MAP, before and after the activity. It is hoped that Anti-Hypertension Exercises activities can be carried out consistently so that blood pressure can be controlled and reduce the risk of complications of hypertension emergencies.
