However, the literature discussing this condition is still limited. This study aims to provide an overview of the role of informal caregivers among those with hypertension in maintaining physical and mental health and maintaining quality of life. Methods: The design used in this study is a literature review which is a comprehensive summary of several research studies that are determined based on a particular theme. The data used in this study is secondary data obtained in the form of articles in reputable national and international journals with predetermined themes. Database search in the form of Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus. The keywords in this literature review are adjusted to the keywords that have been determined, namely "Informal Caregiver, physical and mental health, quality of life, elderly with hypertension".

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease known as The Silent disease. Preavlesni Hypertension in rural areas and in cities has a relatively small comparison number. The factors that cause hypertension in rural areas are different from the factors that cause hypertension in urban areas. The physical activity lifestyle of individuals with hypertension who live in rural areas has a higher life expectancy than individuals with hypertension in urban areas. Hypertension intervention is included in one of the SDGs programs. aims to provide an overview of the factors that cause hypertension and interventions carried out to treat hypertension in rural areas. Methods: scoping review is used with the PRISMA approach. Electronic databases were used such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. A literature review was conducted on international journals published in the last 5 years, available in full text and not the result of a review. Result : This study concludes that the causes of hypertension in rural areas include: alcohol use, occupation, smoking habits, age, zinc intake, sleep duration, exposure intensity to the use of biomass fuels, pesticides, and obesity. Interventions that can be given to people with hypertension who live in rural areas include: physical activity, family support, self-screening for routine blood pressure control, and improving sleep quality. Conclusions: In providing hypertension prevention interventions to people in rural areas, door-to-door visits are also needed to evaluate the success of the interventions that have been given, as well as seek information related to the causal factors that are obstacles to the success of the interventions that have been given Keywords: Hypertension in Rural areas, Hypertension intervention

Abstract

Background: The elderly are a vulnerable age who experience various problems, especially the problem of physical dissatisfaction which results in disturbances in musculoskeletal function. Disorders that often arise are joint pain that makes the elderly experience disruption of daily activities. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that causes chronic inflammation due to friction between the ends of the bones that make up the joints. Therapy that can be used to reduce joint pain is progressive muscle relaxation therapy. Progressive muscle relaxation is a relaxation technique that combines deep breathing exercises and several contraction and relaxation techniques of certain muscles. Study aims to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on reducing joint pain in the elderly at Wisma Dahlia UPT PSTW Jember. Method: Experimental study with a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest and posttest one group design approach where in this study compares the pretest and posttest values of the elderly pain scale after giving progressive muscle relaxation therapy at Wisma Dahlia UPT PSTW Jember. Results and Discussion: Almost all the elderly at Wisma Dahlia have complaints, namely joint pain with a percentage of 86.4% with a pain scale of 4-6 before being given therapy. After 3 sessions of progressive muscle relaxation exercise there was a decrease in the level of pain before and after progressive muscle relaxation exercise from moderate pain (4-6) from 61.5% to 15.3% pain. In addition, there was an increase in the number of mild pain (1-3) from 38.5% to 84.7%. The p-value is 0.018 <0.05, which means that there are differences in the level of pain in the elderly before and after the progressive muscle relaxation intervention. The decrease in pain scale in the elderly shows that progressive muscle relaxation therapy is able to effectively reduce pain by increasing endorphins in the body to inhibit the transmission of painful stimuli. Conclusion: The elderly at Wisma Dahlia UPT PSTW Jember after participating in the empowerment of progressive muscle relaxation exercises for 1 week, their joint pain complaints decreased. Progressive muscle relaxation needs to be included in the PSTW exercise program that can be done routinely so that it can reduce joint pain experienced by the elderly.
