Abstract

Introduction. Diabetes mellitus (DM) has become a health problem in the world, and if not treated, many of the body's systems can be damaged, especially the nerves and blood vessels. This research aims to explain the influence of walking and drinking water hydrotherapy to decrease random blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Method. This research designed in this study was Quasi-Experimental, with the Control Group Pre-Post Test Design. The sampling method used purposive sampling. The sample of this research were 32 respondents in Sumbergede Village. The independent variable was walking therapy and drinking water hydrotherapy, while the dependent variable was random blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The instruments used walking SOP, hydrotherapy SOP and glucose meter. The data analysis technique used Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. Result and Analysis. This study random blood sugar level in the treatment and control groups before intervention was hyperglycemia category and after intervention in the treatment group was mostly euglycemia while in the control group the majority hyperglycemia. The results of the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test were ρ = 0.001 (ρ <0.05), meaning that there is a significant influence of a combination of walking therapy and hydrotherapy against random blood sugar reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes. The results of the Mann Whitney statistical test showed that the value of ρ = 0.001 (ρ <0.05), so that there was a significant difference in decreasing random blood sugar levels between the treatment group and the control group. Discussion. Walking therapy can increase blood glucose usage in active muscles. While drinking water hydrotherapy causes the breakdown of blood glucose, the combination of walking therapy and drinking water hydrotherapy can cause random blood sugar level to decrease. This study was expected to make one of the anti-diabetes medication companion therapies in reducing random blood sugar level in patients with type 2 DM.

Abstract

Garlic contains substances that function as broad-spectrum antimicrobials that can inhibit the bacteria that cause Tuberculosis (TB). The purpose of this study was to explain the effect of providing garlic powder (Allium Sativum Linn) on reducing the signs and symptoms of pulmonary TB. This study was a quasi-experimental study using a control group pre-posttest design approach. The population of this study were all patients with pulmonary TB at Metatu Health Center, Benjeng, Gresik. The purposive sampling technique was used to recruit respondents and obtained 22 respondents who were divided into treatment groups and control groups. The treatment group received 5gr of garlic powder 3x/day. The instruments used were standard operational procedure and observation sheets for signs and symptoms of pulmonary TB. Data analysis using Paired T-Test test with α < 0.05. The statistical test results obtained p value = 0.000 which means that there was a significant difference in the decrease in signs and symptoms of pulmonary TB before and after the administration of garlic powder. The results of statistical tests in the control group obtained p value = 0.341, which means that there was no significant difference in reducing signs and symptoms of pulmonary TB in the control group. The allicin compound in garlic is able to inhibit the bacteria that cause tuberculosis. The health center is expected to make Standard Operational Procedure related to complementary nursing by giving garlic powder to patients with pulmonary TB.
