Abstract

Introduction An elderly person will experience many obstacles in his life when he enters an increasingly old age. These constraints can affect the health of the elderly both physically and mentally. Disrupted health can trigger a decrease in the quality of life of the elderly. Health problems that are experienced by many elderly people in lower-middle-income countries are musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of implementing evidence-based practice is to apply evidence-based applications in nursing practice by providing infrared therapy to the elderly with osteoarthritis. This method of applying evidence based practice was carried out in the people of Kemang Village, Pelalawan Regency who experienced pain in the extremities of the body and had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in previous treatment. Analysis on evidence based practice uses PICO (Patient/Problem, Intervention, Compare and Outcome) analysis. In this evidence-based practice, the intervention that will be carried out is by giving infrared therapy rays 3 times a week for 3 weeks with a duration of 10 minutes to the elderly who experience joint pain in the knee. Conclusion: The application of evidence based practice with infrared therapy in the elderly with osteoarthritis is very effective and useful in reducing pain scores so that EBP can be used as a follow-up intervention for health workers in reducing knee pain in the elderly with osteoarthritis.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease, called the silent killer. WHO data shows that the number of people with hypertension continues to increase. In Riau Province, the prevalence of hypertension increased from 20.9% (2013) to 29.1% (2018). Hypertension will cause various complications such as encephalopathy, heart disease, hemorrhagic stroke, kidney failure, heart failure, and others. Action needs to be taken to reduce the increasing number of hypertension cases. Objective: This study examines the effectiveness of a physical exercise program in reducing blood pressure in hypertension patients at the Pangkalan Kuras II Health Center. Method: It used a pre-test and post-test experimental design involving 101 hypertensive patients, primarily aged 46-64 years (85.1%) and mostly female (86.14%). The program included walking three times a week and exercising twice a week for three weeks. Blood pressure was measured using a manual device. The majority of participants had grade II hypertension. Result: The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed significant reductions in both systolic (4.72 mmHg) and diastolic (3.13 mmHg) blood pressure, with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusions: This numbers indicates that regular physical exercise, such as walking and exercise, effectively lowers blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
