Abstract

Background: Weaving has risk for experiencing nonspecific low back pain (LBP) that caused by bad posture and prolonged sitting duration. Poor sitting position causes musculoskeletal disorders, one of which is pain. Complaints of pain that is felt in the waist, causing functional limitation of movement when moving due to postural errors, are called nonspecific LBP. Weavers with good body positions have a low risk of nonspecific LBP complaints and increased productivity. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sitting position and nonspecific LBP complaints in Buton Sarong weavers in Baubau City. Methods: This study used an analytic observational research design with a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were taken using probability and purposive sampling techniques. The independent variable measured was the sitting position using the rapid entire body assessment (REBA). The dependent variable measured was nonspecific LBP using a physiotherapy history-taking process. Results: There were 63 weavers in this study, 51 people (81%) had a low sitting position, and 12 (19%) had medium risk. The Spearman's rho non-parametric analysis test showed no relationship between sitting position and nonspecific LBP complaints in this population (p=0.819). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between sitting position and nonspecific LBP complaints.

Abstract

Background: Several factors, including blood pressure and self-care behavior, influence quality of life in the elderly. Self-care behavior involves taking action to improve and maintain one's health. This study aimed to determine whether there was a relationship between blood pressure and self-care behavior on the quality of life of the elderly in Bali. Methods: This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling. Data was collected by measuring blood pressure with a sphygmomanometer, while self-care behavior and quality of life were measured using a questionnaire instrument WHO Quality of Life-BREF for quality of life and exercise self care agency scale for self care. This study was conducted in Pejeng Village, Tampaksiring District, Gianyar Regency, on April 7, 2023, in the Pejeng 1 State Elementary School classroom. Results: Based on the non-parametric Spearman rho analysis test, the values obtained were p = 0.016 and 0.018 (p<0.05) and the coefficient r = 0.361 and 0.356. Based on the R test, the values obtained are r = 0.612 and r square = 0.375. Based on the T-test, the values of t = 2.180 and 3.331, t table = 2.01954, and p = 0.035 and 0.002. Based on the multicollinearity test, the variance inflation factor value is 1.159. The tolerance value in this study is 0.863. Conclusion: There was a relationship between blood pressure and self-care behavior on the quality of life of the elderly in Bali.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide and ranks first among the most common diseases in Mengwi, Badung. Hypertension is characterized by persistently high blood pressure, with systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90 mmHg. Physical activity plays a crucial role in maintaining heart health. This research aimed to determine the relationship between physical activity and hypertension in menopausal women. Methods: The research used an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted in August–November 2023 at Desa Penarungan, Mengwi, Badung, Bali. Purposive sampling was used as the sampling method, resulting in 80 samples. Physical activity was measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer. Data was analyzed using the Spearman rank statistical test. Results: The statistical test showed a value of p=0.000 (p<0.005), indicating a significant relationship between physical activity and hypertension in menopausal women. The obtained correlation value was r=-0.479, which was negative and signified an inverse or opposite relationship with a relatively strong correlation level. This suggested that the lower the level of physical activity, the higher the degree of hypertension. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between physical activity and hypertension in menopausal women.
