Abstract

Being underweight is a common problem in developing countries, including Indonesia, that may cause infections, including viral ones. The solution to this problem is to provide Modisco cookies and auriculopuncture therapy with seed-pressing methods. Auriculopuncture is a traditional Chinese therapy using the seed-pressing method at the auricular point stimulating to relieve other body pathologies. While Modisco cookies have energy-dense, high- calories, digestible cookies that aim to help accelerate weight gain. This study aims to determine the effect of Modisco cookies compared to a combination of Modisco cookies with auriculopuncture on the increase of body weight among male adolescents. This study observed 22 male teenagers with low body weight for three weeks. The subjects are categorized into two treatment groups: (1) the Modisco cookies group and (2) the combination of Modisco cookies and the auriculopuncture treatment group every day for three weeks (26 days). This study compared the mean of the pretest and posttest of the weight changes using a T-test. Furthermore, the average weight changes between the two groups were compared using Manova repeated measured test. The Modisco cookies have nutrient-dense and easy to digest, while Auriculopuncture may stimulate to a certain point in the ear. The hypothalamus has a role in the production of the ghrelin hormone. The therapy may increase hormone appetite and reduce the use of fat reserves. It may increase the body weight of underweight adolescents significantly (p=0.00). A combination of Modisco cookies and auriculopuncture therapy gave a significant increase in adolescent body weight compared to modisco cookies.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major public health problem, accounting for approximately 13% of total mortality and causing around 8 million deaths each year. It is highly prevalent among the elderly (aged over 60 years), with rates ranging from 60% to 80%. According to the 2018 Basic Health Research, hypertension cases in Indonesia continue to rise, affecting 63.2% of individuals aged 65–74 years and 69.5% of those aged 75 years and above. Objective: This program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of elderly individuals in managing hypertension through acupuncture therapy and self-care training. Method: In collaboration with Puskesmas Kowel, the program involved socialization activities, workshops, and a one-month acupuncture therapy service conducted by traditional medicine therapists from Universitas Airlangga. Pre-test and post-test evaluations were administered to assess knowledge improvement and the effectiveness of the therapy in reducing blood pressure. Results: The program successfully enhanced the elderly participants’ understanding of hypertension and acupuncture therapy, as well as their ability to perform self-acupressure techniques. It also strengthened the role of Puskesmas Kowel as an educational and acupuncture therapy center for elderly care in Pamekasan. Conclusion: This initiative provides a foundation for improving the quality of life among the elderly through sustainable complementary therapy practices.

Abstract

Masyarakat pedesaan Kabupaten Lamongan khususnya di Desa Randubener masih menghadapi tantangan dalam menjaga kesehatan keluarga secara mandiri dikarenakan oleh pemanfaatan potensi lokal seperti Taman Obat Keluarga (TOGA) dan terapi akupresur yang belum optimal. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penyuluhan, pelatihan dan pembinaan mengenai TOGA dan akupresur agar dapat meningkatkan potensi yang telah dimiliki dalam mengatasi keluhan kesehatan ringan secara preventif dan promotif, serta mudah diterapkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Program PATOK PAKU hadir untuk mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan TOGA dan akupresur melalui pelatihan dan pendampingan intensif kepada kader PKK, kader TOGA, dan warga Randubener dengan pendekatan partisipatif dan berkelanjutan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam membudidayakan TOGA dan menerapkan teknik dasar akupresur, peningkaatan pengetahuan masyarakat dalam mengaplikasikan TOGA dan metode menanam tanaman obat di rumah. Dengan demikian, program ini menjadi langkah strategis dalam mendorong kemandirian dan keberlanjutan kesehatan keluarga berbasis kearifan lokal.
