Abstract

Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract characterized by coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and a feeling of heaviness in the chest, which is generally reversible both with and without treatment. Giving Buteyko breathing exercise action is more effective than before being given the action. Objectives: To analyze the application of Buteyko breathing exercises to improve respiratory rate (RR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2). Methods: Descriptive analysis in the form of case studies with total sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria of 3 patients under management. The Buteyko breathing exercise was applied, and vital signs were observed before and after the Buteyko breathing exercise. Results: Nursing problems are ineffective breathing patterns with Respiratory Rate (RR) > 26 x/minute, and two patients were found to have mild hypoxia with SpO2 <95%. After applying the Buteyko breathing exercise, the three patients experienced an improvement in their condition with RR 18-20 x/minute and SpO2 > 98%. The author describes the application of Buteyko breathing exercises to asthma patients, which improved the condition of RR and SpO2. They were supported by Lisavina's research (2019) on the difference between controlling asthma before and after implementing Buteyko breathing. Conclusions: The application of Buteyko breathing exercises in assessing improvement in respiratory rate (RR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) did not harm patient conditions, hospital costs, time and effort, or infrastructure.

Abstract

Anemia remains a significant public health issue among adolescent girls in Indonesia, primarily due to iron deficiency exacerbated by poor dietary habits and menstruation. Nutritional interventions utilizing local food sources such as Moringa oleifera offer a promising solution. Moringa leaves are rich in iron and essential micronutrients that may support hemoglobin synthesis. This study aims to examine the effect of Moringa leaf iced tea consumption on hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was employed. Ninety female students from a health sciences college in Cirebon participated. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the consumption of Moringa leaf iced tea. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests with a significance level of p < 0.05. The mean hemoglobin level increased significantly from 10.656 g/dL to 11.338 g/dL post-intervention, with a mean difference of 0.6822 g/dL (p < 0.001). This result suggests a positive hematinic effect of Moringa iced tea, likely due to its high iron and vitamin C content. Moringa leaf iced tea is a practical and culturally acceptable dietary intervention that effectively improves hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. It holds potential for integration into school and community-based nutrition programs aimed at preventing anemia.
