Abstract

Background: eighteen percent or 1.2 billion people of the world's population are in their teens. A common problem that is often experienced by pre  pubertal teenage girls in preparing for puberty is the lack of exposure to information. Health education is one of the efforts to prepare young women to be ready to face menarche. Based on a preliminary study conducted with BKKBN officers and Genre Ambassadors of Pacitan Regency, he said that young women need a lot of preparation and information to face menarche. Meanwhile, based on a pre liminary study conducted on students in grades IV, V, and VI at Bangunsari State Elementary School, it was found that the majority of students had never received information about menstruation.Purpose: to determine the effect of health education on the readiness of young women to face menarche.Methods: this type of research is quantitative experimental research, using a pre experimental research design with one group pre-post test design. The sampling technique used, namely purposive sampling, a total of 41 respondents. The research instrument used a questionnaire sheet. Statistical test using Wilcoxon test.Results: the results of the Wilcoxon pre-test and post-test knowledge and attitudes of 41 respondents showed a p-value of 0.000, which means that there is an effect of health education on young women's readiness to face menarche.Conclusion: there is an effect of health education on the readiness of young women to face menarche.

Abstract

Hypertension and obesity represent significant global public health challenges requiring innovative educational interventions. The Si-hypertension and obesity information system (HIPO) application was developed as a context-specific digital health education medium targeting Indonesian community health center populations, distinguishing it from existing generic mHealth tools by integrating comorbid hypertension-obesity education within a culturally appropriate single platform. This study aimed to assess the content validity of the Si-HIPO application through expert and respondent validation. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design was employed at Sibela Community Health Center, Surakarta, Indonesia. Expert validation involved two assessors using Aiken's V coefficient methodology, while respondent validation included 66 participants with hypertension and overweight/obesity. Respondent characteristics revealed predominantly female participants (60.61%), aged > 40 years (39.39%), with stage 2 hypertension (51.52%) and obesity (59.09%). Respondent evaluation demonstrated 72.73% positive acceptance. Expert validation yielded high validity coefficients for nine of ten items (V = 0.802-0.833), with one item showing moderate validity (V = 0.667). The aggregated validity coefficient was 0.802, indicating high overall content validity. The Si-HIPO application demonstrates strong content validity and user acceptability as an educational medium for hypertension and obesity management. However, further effectiveness testing through experimental or quasi-experimental designs is warranted before implementation in clinical practice.

Abstract

Hypertension in obese patients requires comprehensive management through enhanced health literacy. Android-based applications represent a promising innovation for improving hypertension control literacy. To analyze the effectiveness of the Android-based hypertension and obesity information system (HIPO) application in improving hypertension control literacy among obese patients. This quasi-experimental study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design without a control group, conducted at Sibela Community Health Center, Surakarta, from June to December 2025. Seventy-six respondents were selected through purposive sampling, meeting criteria of primary hypertension (≥ 140/90 mmHg) and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m². The intervention involved four weeks of HIPO application use. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Respondents were predominantly female (67.11%), aged 46-55 years (31.58%), with a genetic predisposition to hypertension (57.89%). Systolic blood pressure significantly decreased from 159.53 ± 14.19 to 144.48 ± 11.44 mmHg (p < 0.001), and diastolic from 95.20 ± 6.55 to 88.50 ± 4.58 mmHg (p < 0.001). Good knowledge increased from 35.53% to 55.26%, and good hypertension control increased from 35.53% to 61.84%. The HIPO application significantly improved blood pressure, knowledge, and hypertension control. However, the absence of a control group limits causal inference. This application may serve as a supplementary educational tool in primary healthcare chronic disease management programs.
