Abstract

Non-specific lower back pain is a common condition characterized by strain, muscle spasms, or weakness of the paraspinal muscles, particularly the multifidus muscle, which affects adjacent musculature such as the gluteus, hamstrings, and quadriceps. This study aimed to investigate whether massage gun treatment combined with passive stretching could reduce non-specific low back pain in patients experiencing subacute and chronic phases of this condition. This pseudo-experimental research employed a one-group pretest-posttest design with three treatments. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria: suffering from non-specific low back pain, willingness to participate, and age between 20 and 65 years. Exclusion criteria included anatomical abnormalities of the spine, fractures, open wounds, and specific spinal disorders. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to measure pain intensity before and after each treatment session. Initial VAS scores averaged 65.6 units. Following the first treatment, scores decreased significantly to 52.1 units; subsequent reductions occurred at 42.1 units post-second treatment and 33.5 units post-third treatment. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference across all three treatment sessions (p = 0.000 < 0.05), indicating a progressive improvement in pain control over time. Massage gun therapy coupled with passive stretching demonstrated efficacy in reducing non-specific lower back pain among participants. These findings suggest that repeated application of these interventions can lead to sustained improvements in pain management for individuals suffering from subacute and chronic non-specific low back pain conditions

Abstract

 Background: Mental health issues among undergraduates have gained attention inrecent years due to their rising incidence. Healthy lifestyle components like sleepquality, diet, physical activity, substance abuse, and social support may affect mentalhealth. Thus, recognizing the most important components of a healthy lifestyle allows relevant parties to execute suitable treatments. Objective: This study aims toidentify predictors of a healthy lifestyle on mental health. A cross-sectional studywas carried out on a randomly selected sample of 180 undergraduate students aged18 to 30. Significant predictors of healthy lifestyle components were identified usingAHLQ and DASS 21 instruments. Methods: This research is quantitative researchwith a nested case-control study design, using electronic medical record (EMR) datafrom the Central Java Provincial Hospital in 2023. The variables in this study weregender, age, education level, employment status, marital status, health insurancestatus, BMI, DM diet, duration of DM, hypertension, other diseases, current bloodglucose, and HbA1c. The analysis used was univariate, bivariate, and multivariateanalysis (logistic regression). Results: The findings indicate a significant relationship between a healthy diet and mental health, and a healthy diet contributes 25% ofvariances, while 29% of mental health variance was attributed to the combinationof a healthy diet and PA. Furthermore, 31% of mental health variance is attributedto sleep quality variables, and a combination of healthy diet, PA, sleep quality, andsubstance abuse contributes to 34% of mental health variance. Conclusion: Thisstudy provides insights to stakeholders in terms of incorporating healthy lifestylecomponents in mental health intervention strategies for undergraduate students. Itwas concluded that such interventions should focus on promoting a healthy dietsince it is the most significant measure of good mental health.
