Abstract

Students’ collaboration is essential for the construction of effective,deep, and reflective learning. In the context of computer-mediated learning, students’ collaboration was facilitated by discussion forum. While discussion forum is used among distanced learners, there is still lack of knowledge on what really happens when students participate in the discussion forum. This study shed lights on students’ engagement in three discussion forums of two language skill courses (Speaking 1 and Writing 1) conducted asynchronously. The engagement was measured from (i) students’ posts or comments to see how much students’ participation in the forum, (ii) engagement patterns they formed, and (iii) how such collaboration reflected the phases of practical inquiry in online-mediated learning. Results showed that during online asynchronous seminars, students’ participation was minimal, and teachers’ posts were prevalent, with posts confirming students’ answers. This type of interaction, in turns, resulting in a one-way serial monologue – students did not response to each other posts. Analysis on practical inquiry model also confirmed the findings that students’ engagements were in the level of triggering event by which students only responded to the teacher’s thread and did not respond to each other posts. Students’ exchange of information was not negotiated, thus not allowing students to move forwards to integration and resolution phases. The findings were linked with the tasks set out by the teachers in both courses.

Considering the high prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in Indonesia, education on proper eating patterns is important to control blood sugar and prevent serious impacts for patients. This report aims to increase the knowledge of Gurah Public Health Center prolanis patients about the importance of diet in preventing complications of Diabetes Mellitus. The method of implementing community service activities is carried out using lecture and discussion methods, using leaflets and presentations. Patients receive an explanation about Diabetes Mellitus, appropriate eating patterns, and the principles of balanced nutrition. This activity includes a pre-test and post-test to measure the increase in participants' knowledge. The result of the activity was that there was a significant increase in participants' understanding, shown by the average post-test results which were higher than the pre-test, indicating educational success. Conclusions and suggestions from community service are because this program has succeeded in increasing knowledge about the management of Diabetes Mellitus among patients. It is recommended that similar activities be carried out on an ongoing basis to strengthen public awareness and understanding of the prevention and management of Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension remains a major global health problem and one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Both non-modifiable and modifiable factors, such as stress, diet, and obesity, play a crucial role in its development. In Indonesia, hypertension continues to account for a high burden of morbidity, with an increasing prevalence reported in Madiun. This study aimed to analyze the association of stress, dietary patterns, and body mass index (BMI) with hypertension among patients at Denkesyah Clinic, Madiun, East Java. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional study conducted at Denkesyah Clinic, Madiun, East Java, in October 2024. A total of 87 respondents were selected using purposive sampling from patients enrolled in the chronic disease management program (Prolanis). Data on stress were collected using the Self Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20), dietary patterns were assessed with a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and body mass index (BMI) was calculated using weight and height measurements. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic ≥90 mmHg. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate logistic regression. Results: The study found that 52.9% of respondents experienced high stress levels, 59.8% had poor dietary patterns, and 44.8% were obese. Stress, poor dietary pattern, and elevated BMI were all significantly associated with hypertension (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that BMI was the most dominant risk factor, with an odds ratio indicating that obese individuals were more likely to develop hypertension compared to those with normal BMI. Conclusions: Stress, dietary pattern, and BMI significantly are associated with hypertension, with BMI being the strongest predictor. Public health interventions should focus on promoting healthy dietary habits, stress management, and weight control strategies to reduce the burden of hypertension in the community.
