Abstract

Hypertension, often called the "silent killer," is a leading non-communicable disease contributing to high mortality and morbidity, particularly in the elderly. As individuals age, peripheral blood vessel elasticity decreases, increasing vascular resistance and leading to systolic hypertension, commonly seen in older adults. Hypertension requires long-term treatment, which can result in non-compliance among elderly patients. Family support plays a crucial role in assisting and encouraging adherence to treatment regimens. This quantitative correlation study, with a cross-sectional approach, aimed to examine the relationship between emotional family support and treatment compliance in elderly hypertensive patients. The study was conducted at the Sei Agul Health Center, with a sample size of 65 elderly individuals selected using the Slovin formula and purposive sampling technique in October 2023. The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) was used to measure treatment compliance, while the emotional support instrument was developed by the researcher. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test, showing a significant relationship between emotional family support and treatment compliance (p-value < 0.05). The findings conclude that emotional support from family positively influences the compliance of elderly patients undergoing hypertension treatment at the Sei Agul Health Center. Health workers are encouraged to involve families in supporting hypertensive patients to enhance treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Promiscuity is a common issue among adolescents, as a transitional phase that is highly susceptible to environmental influences, directly impacting physical, mental, and social health. Lack of understanding of the impacts of promiscuity can increase health risks for adolescents, including increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unplanned pregnancy, organ damage due to addictive substances (narcotics), mental health disorders, and decreased social and academic functioning. This health promotion activity was conducted at Free Methodist 1 Junior High School in Medan as a form of early education and prevention. The goal was to increase students' knowledge and awareness of the dangers of promiscuity and encourage healthier and more responsible behavior. The method used was preventive education through lectures, discussions, and interactive Q&A sessions. The results of this activity showed an increase in student understanding of the material, for example, understanding of promiscuity increased from 70% to 85% and understanding of drug abuse from 62% to 67.5%, as well as the importance of developing a healthy lifestyle, avoiding harmful substances, and maintaining overall physical, mental, and social health

Abstract

Elderly individuals constitute a demographic group vulnerable to various degenerative diseases due to the aging process. Enhancing the importance of adopting healthy lifestyles among the elderly has become a primary focus in efforts to improve their quality of life. Education on healthy living plays a crucial role in aiding the elderly in understanding and implementing healthy behaviors. Through directed educational approaches, seniors can acquire knowledge regarding the significance of aspects such as balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, stress management, as well as adherence to medication and routine health check-ups. With an increased awareness of the importance of healthy lifestyles, the elderly can reduce the risk of various chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer. Furthermore, adopting healthy lifestyles can also enhance independence and overall quality of life in the elderly. Therefore, sustained educational efforts by healthcare professionals and families are essential to provide a profound understanding of the importance of healthy living among the elderly, enabling them to lead their later years with optimal quality of life.

Abstract

Anemia is a common complication in cancer patients, especially in advanced stages, which affects quality of life and response to therapy. This study aims to analyze the relationship between cancer stage and hemoglobin (Hb) levels in female patients undergoing chemotherapy. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design and involved 54 female cancer patients at the H. Adam Malik General Hospital Polyclinic, Medan. The sampling technique used convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using the Spearman's rho test to determine the relationship between cancer stage and Hb levels. The majority of respondents were in stage 3 (48.1%) and stage 4 (37.0%), with 63% experiencing moderate anemia (Hb 8–10 g/dL). The results of the Spearman test showed a significant positive correlation between cancer stage and Hb levels (r = 0.683; p = 0.000), indicating that the more advanced the cancer stage, the lower the hemoglobin levels tend to be. It was concluded that there was a significant relationship between cancer stage and hemoglobin levels in female patients. These results emphasize the importance of monitoring Hb levels in clinical management and nursing care of cancer patients, especially in advanced stages.
