Abstract

Hypertension is a significant health issue among the elderly and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and other disorders. Factors such as unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity, stress, hormonal imbalance, and genetic predisposition significantly increase the risk of hypertension in the elderly. Integrated management, including regular blood pressure monitoring, appropriate pharmacological therapy, and an emphasis on healthy lifestyle changes, has proven to be effective in controlling and preventing complications of hypertension in the elderly population. The objectives of this activity are (1) to increase the knowledge and understanding of the community, especially the elderly, about hypertension and food management, and (2) to enhance the elderly's awareness of the importance of physical activity in maintaining their health. The results of the evaluation involving 20 participants showed an improvement in knowledge about hypertension, food management, and physical activity, and participants were motivated to prevent hypertension through proper food management and exercise.

Abstract

Background : The critical period for children occurs between the ages of 6-24 months. This age group is a period of crucial growth and potential failure to thrive, especially in twins. Stimulation activities such as singing, storytelling, and playing can optimize children's development. Objective: This study aims to describe nursing care by providing early childhood stimulation to twins. Methods: This research was conducted using a case study approach, observing changes in children's behavior during early childhood stimulation interventions. Results: After providing developmental stimuli such as singing, playing, and storytelling for 3 days, it was found that the child's development had changed. Children who initially did not respond now responded, those who were initially passive were now able to follow commands, and there was improvement in the pronunciation of words. Conclusion: This study provides evidence to support the importance of stimulating children's development from an early age. Community nurses are advised to educate mothers in their work area on how to stimulate growth and development to prevent developmental delays or failure to thrive in twins.
