Abstract

Malaria is one of the main public health problems in the province of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). NTT currently ranks second in malaria cases in Indonesia after Papua. Pregnant women are a risk group, data show that pregnant women suffering from malaria complications in Kupang District is still very high due to the delay in treatment since many patients dominate the primary care of the traditional healer compared to health services. The traditional healers use herbs that are sprayed (sembur)to the patient. This action is an alternative treatment carried out by the local community because it is far from health facilities. Therefore, this study aims to determine the picture of semburculture in pregnant women suffering from malaria in Kupang Regency. This study uses qualitative techniques with a phenomenological approach. The informants were chosen by using purposive sampling and snowball approach. There were six informants, all of whom came from Kupang Regency. The data collected through depth interviews and field notes. Processing and analyzing data in the form of interview results are converted into verbatim transcripts and the results of field notes are analysed in the form of transcripts. The results of this study show three themes from all participants; (1) health beliefs and practices; (2) thoughts and feelings when conducting a sembur culture; (3) hope for a future life. This research is beneficial for maternal and child health as well as educational and service institutions.

Abstract

Malaria represents one of the tropical diseases and a health problem in the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province. Malaria cases are still high in some districts in NTT, including East Sumba, Central Sumba, West Sumba, and Southwest Sumba. Infants, children, and pregnant women are the high-risk groups to suffer from malaria. The highest number of cases was recorded in Southwest Sumba district with 4,273 cases in November 2022. This situation requires preventive and curative actions to address malaria cases in NTT. These actions include health education and malaria data mapping for high-risk groups in malaria-endemic areas. It is expected that these measures will assist in healthcare services, especially in malaria-endemic areas. Considering the current phenomenon of digital era development, the researchers have designed an Android-based mapping and education application for malaria called “mobfabria”. To develop a prototype of the mobfabria applicatio. This is research and development study. The research was conducted in 2023, where the application test took place from March to April 2023 at the Oemasi Health Center in Kupang District. The research subjects consisted of 5 individuals during the development stage and 15 pregnant women during the evaluation stage. The application created by the researchers can be downloaded from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobfabria.apps. The research stages are approval, ethical test, instrument test, and application test. The application is developed according to the needs analysis, system design, and database. It was built using Android tools. The assessment by experts in health promotion, media, and malaria practitioners was considered good enough, leading to changes in the application's interface design and data storage units. The data was analyzed descriptively. Mapping and data collection of pregnant women with malaria can be accurately obtained. This application is expected to be used for healthcare services and facilities in malaria-endemic areas.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease which is called a silent killer because it often does not cause complaints, so sufferers do not know they have hypertension and only find out after complications occur. (Maria et al., 2021). The aim of this research is to determine the application of gemu fa mi re exercise in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients in the working area of the Sikumana Community Health Center, Kupang City. The research design was descriptive, the total research sample was 30 respondents using purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out by interviews and fa mi re exercise interventions for hypertensive patients in the Sikumana Community Health Center working area. The procedure was carried out for 3 days with a time of 20 minutes, measuring pre-test and post-test blood pressure. Analyzing the data using univariate research results, it was found that the majority of gender characteristics were women, 23 people, the majority of respondents were >45 years old. High school education 23 people. The majority of respondents did not work or were retired, namely 23 people. The duration of hypertension for 1 year was 18 people. There were 6 people in the pre-hypertension blood pressure category and 24 people in stage 1 hypertension. Gemu fa mi exercise can lower blood pressure, with a decrease in systole and diastole of 5 to 20 mmHg with an average decrease in systole of 5 mmHg and diastolic of 10 mmHg. Conclusion: Gemu fa mi re exercise can reduce blood pressure in hypertension sufferers. Suggestion: Health workers who work in the Sikumana Community Health Center area can improve the non-communicable disease (NCD) program with culturally based efforts to reduce blood pressure such as doing gemu fa mi re exercises.
