Abstract

Hypertension is systolic blood pressure increases above 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure increases above 90 mmHg. One of the hypertension treatments is non-pharmacological therapy by giving lemon aromatherapy, which is helpful as an antioxidant, strengthens and vasodilation of blood vessels, and controls blood pressure. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of lemon aromatherapy on blood pressure in hypertension patients at Modopuro Public Health Center Mojokerto. The research design used pre-experimental with a one-group pre-post test design approach. The sample used 35 respondents with a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used a digital tensimeter and a blood pressure observation sheet. Statistical analysis test used the Paired t-test. The results showed that the mean systolic blood pressure before intervention was 158.34 mmHg, and the mean systolic blood pressure after intervention was 144.42 mmHg. The results showed a significant difference between systolic blood pressure before and after giving lemon aromatherapy in hypertension patients (p-value = 0.000; α <0.05). Lemon aromatherapy can decrease blood pressure in hypertension patients, affecting the olfactory and circulatory nervous systems. When aromatherapy is inhaled, the olfactory nerve delivers impulses to the brain and stimulates the production of endorphins, which can calm and relax the body. That mechanism can cause vasodilation of blood vessels and a decrease in heart rate so that blood pressure will decrease. Keywords: Lemon Aromatherapy, Blood Pressure, Hypertension

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the association factors between age, FOUR Score, and ICU  length  of  stay  among  post-craniotomy  patients  treated  at  Sakinah  Hospital.  A cross-sectional study was conducted from 01 October to 12 December 2025 involving adult  post-craniotomy  patients  admitted  consecutively  to  the  ICU.  Eligible participants  were  ≥18  years  old,  intubated  postoperatively,  and  had  a  completed FOUR  Score  assessment.  Fisher’s  Exact  Test  and  relative  risk  (RR)  with  95% confidence intervals (CI) were applied to examine associations between age, FOUR Score, and ICU LOS. A significance level of p < 0.05 was used. 29 patients, 58.6% were aged ≥53 years and 62.1% experienced prolonged ICU stay. A FOUR Score ≤10 was observed in 58.6% of the cohort. Lower FOUR Scores were strongly associated with prolonged ICU stay (p < 0.000; RR = 9.7; 95% CI: 1.4–63.8). Older age also demonstrated a significant association with extended LOS (p = 0.018; RR = 2.47; 95% CI: 1–7.7). Both advanced age and lower FOUR Scores were significant  associated with prolonged ICU stay among post-craniotomy patients. These findings underscore the  utility  of  integrating  neurological  scoring  with  demographic  risk  profiling  to support early prognostication and guide resource allocation in neurosurgical critical care.
