Abstract

Background: Aging is associated with degenerative changes, one of the physical changes experienced by humans is changes in the musculoskeletal system, where the joint disorder that is often experienced by the elderly is rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The impact of rheumatism on the elderly is not only in the form of obvious limitations in mobility and daily living activities, the management that can be done to overcome this is doing physical activity with rheumatic exercises. Purpose: This community service aims to increase knowledge about exercise for the elderly with rheumatism among the community, especially the elderly at the Japanese village posyandu, Mejobo subdistrict. Method: implementing this community service activity is by providing health education and rheumatic exercise practices to the elderly. Activities start from the planning, implementation and evaluation stages of the results of the outreach activities. Results: The results of this activity show an increase in health knowledge in the elderly through rheumatic exercises to treat rheumatoid arthritis pain, which is indicated by the audience being able to answer questions about the material presented and being able to practice the rheumatic exercises taught. Conclusion: The results of this community service have proven effective in increasing understanding about improving health knowledge in the elderly through rheumatic exercises to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) painK

Abstract

Stroke is a disease or functional disorder of the brain in the form of nerve paralysis due to obstruction of blood flow to the brain. Decreased blood flow to the brain can be caused by blocked blood vessels in the brain. It can also be caused by the rupture of blood vessels to the brain. In simple terms, acute stroke is defined as a brain disease due to cessation of blood supply to the brain due to bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke) or blockage (non-hemorrhagic stroke). According to the WSO (World Stroke Organization) in 2016 more than 67.5 million people in the world experienced an ischemic stroke and 15 million people in the world experienced a hemorrhagic stroke. Nationally, the prevalence of stroke in Indonesia according to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2018 is estimated at 2,120,362 people who suffer from stroke. Brain damage from a stroke can cause various symptoms such as paralysis or weakness in one half of the body that occurs suddenly, where the most characteristic symptom is hemiparesis (reduced muscle strength of one limb). Muscle strength is the ability of muscles to produce tension and power during maximum effort both dynamically and statically or in other words muscle strength is the maximum ability of muscles to contract. Non-pharmacological therapy that can be done to increase extremity muscle strength in stroke patients is mirror therapy. Mirror therapy is a form of rehabilitation that relies on motor imagery, where the mirror will provide visual stimulation that tends to be imitated like a mirror on body parts that are disturbed by healthy body parts. The purpose of this case study is to describe the application of mirror therapy to extremity muscle strength in stroke patients. The writing method uses a descriptive method with a nursing care process approach, the samples taken are 2 respondents.

Abstract

Hypertension remains a major global health problem requiring effective management. This quasi-experimental study examined whether acupressure reduces blood pressure among hypertensive patients receiving primary healthcare. Using a pre-test post-test non-randomized control group design, 40 hypertensive patients (45–60 years) at Puskesmas Kaliwungu Kudus, Indonesia, were assigned via purposive sampling to an intervention group (acupressure at LI4, LV3, GB20, and ST36 for seven days; n = 20) or a control group (standard care; n = 20). Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon, Mann–Whitney, and ANCOVA tests. The intervention group showed greater reductions in systolic (27.50 ± 7.70 vs 5.75 ± 7.83 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (17.00 ± 6.37 vs 5.00 ± 7.07 mmHg) than controls (all p = 0.008), with very large effect sizes (Cohen’s d = 2.36 and 1.55). ANCOVA confirmed the group effect remained significant after adjusting for age, gender, BMI, adherence, and comorbidity (both p = 0.001). Acupressure significantly reduced blood pressure and may serve as a practical complementary therapy in primary healthcare.
