Abstract

Background: Hypertension, often referred to as the "silent killer," is a chronic condition characterized by systolic blood pressure >/140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure >/90 mmHg. It is a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. One key factor affecting blood pressure control is adherence to antihypertensive medication, which is closely linked to self-care management. Objective: This literature review aims to analyze the influence of self-care management on blood pressure control in patients with hypertension. Methods: An integrative literature review was conducted by collecting references from electronic databases. Six journal articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. Results: The review found a strong correlation between effective self-care management and improved blood pressure control. Various factors were identified as influencing self-care capacity, including age, duration of illness, presence of comorbidities, self-efficacy, perception, and health literacy. These factors play a critical role in determining a patient's ability to manage their condition. Conclusion: Self-care management is essential in supporting medication adherence and achieving blood pressure control in hypertensive patients. Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to the effectiveness of self-care strategies and should be considered in hypertension management programs

Abstract

Background: Antibiotic resistance against bacterial infections such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, prevalent in tropical regions, necessitates alternative treatments. One potential solution is utilizing secondary metabolites found in Sambas Siamese orange leaves. These compounds may serve as antibacterial agents. Objective: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of 70% and 96% ethanol as solvents for extracting secondary metabolites from Sambas Siamese orange leaves. Methods: Extraction was performed using two types of solvents (70% and 96% ethanol) to obtain secondary metabolites. Antibacterial activity was tested using the disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer), and data were analyzed with One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results: Extraction with 96% ethanol yielded flavonoids (+++), terpenoids (++), steroids (++), and phenols (++). Meanwhile, extraction with 70% ethanol produced Mayer alkaloids (++), flavonoids (++), saponins (+), steroids (+++), and phenols (+++). The 96% ethanol solvent was more effective in extracting limonene compounds from the leaves. Conclusion: The 96% ethanol solvent demonstrated higher effectiveness compared to 70% ethanol in extracting secondary metabolites, particularly limonene, which has potential antibacterial properties, from Sambas Siamese orange leaves
