Abstract

Primary dysmenorrhea is one of the most common gynecological complaints among adolescent girls and may interfere with daily and school activities. Exercise-based intervention, including aerobic exercise and core strengthening exercise, can reduce menstrual pain as non-pharmacological management. This study aimed to compare the effects of aerobic exercise and core strengthening exercise on primary dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. A randomized pre-test and post-test-controlled trial was used. The research was conducted at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Gamping, Sleman, Indonesia involving 34 adolescent girls aged 10-17 years with primary dysmenorrhea. Participants were randomly assigned using simple randomization into an aerobic exercise group (n=17) and a core strengthening exercise group (n=17). Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after a three-week intervention performed three times weekly, with 30-minute sessions. The mean VAS score in the aerobic exercise group decreased from 6.00 ± 2.09 to 3.00 ± 1.86, while the core strengthening group decreased from 7.18 ± 1.94 to 4.53 ± 1.84. The reduction in pain intensity was greater in the aerobic group (3.00 points) than in the core strengthening group (3.00 points vs. 2.65 points; Mean difference −1.53; 95% CI −2.75 to −0.31; p=0.020). Both interventions significantly reduced primary dysmenorrhea pain intensity (p<0.001) with a significant difference between groups p=0.020. Aerobic exercise may provide greater benefits in school-based menstrual health programs for adolescent’s girls.

Abstract

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a global health problem, including in Indonesia. One of the main indicators used to monitor disease progression and evaluate the success of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy is viral load testing. Viral load is the main indicator in monitoring the success of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy in people with HIV/AIDS (ODHIV). Viral load results can be influenced by various factors, including age and marital status. Therefore, it is necessary to know the relationship between these two factors with viral load test results in ODHIV. Porpuse: To determine the relationship between age and marital status with viral load test results in ODHIV patients. Method: This study used an observational analytical design with a retrospective approach. The study sample was 67 ODHIV patients who met the inclusion criteria with a total sampling technique. Data were obtained from patient medical records for the period 2024-2025. Analysis of the relationship between age and viral load used the Spearman rank test, while the relationship between marital status and viral load used the chi-square test. Results: The majority of respondents were teenagers (44.8%), male (91.0%), single (98.5%), and had undetectable viral load results (80.6%). The analysis showed a significant relationship between age and viral load (p=0.038; r=0.254) and between marital status and viral load (p=0.006; r=0.398). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between age and marital status with viral load test results in ODHIV patients. Demographic and social factors play a role in achieving viral load suppression in ODHIV.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Proses penuaan menyebabkan perubahan fisiologis pada lansia, seperti penurunan daya tahan kardiovaskular, peningkatan tekanan darah, dan perubahan komposisi tubuh yang dapat memengaruhi kemampuan fungsional serta kualitas hidup. Salah satu latihan fisik yang aman dan mudah dilakukan lansia adalah Brisk Walking Exercise, yaitu latihan berjalan dengan intensitas sedang yang dapat meningkatkan daya tahan kardiovaskular serta membantu mengontrol tekanan darah dan komposisi tubuh. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui pengaruh Brisk Walking Exercise terhadap peningkatan daya tahan kardiovaskular, penurunan tekanan darah, dan indeks massa tubuh pada lansia. Metode: Menggunakan desain quasi-experimental Pretest Posttest control group design. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 28 lansia yang dibagi menjadi kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol masing-masing sebanyak 14 responden. Kelompok intervensi diberikan Brisk Walking Exercise selama 4 minggu dengan frekuensi 3 kali seminggu selama 20 menit setiap sesi. Pengukuran daya tahan kardiovaskular menggunakan Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), tekanan darah menggunakan sphygmomanometer, dan indeks massa tubuh berdasarkan pengukuran berat badan serta tinggi badan. Hasil: Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian Brisk Walking Exercise memberikan pengaruh terhadap peningkatan daya tahan kardiovaskular, penurunan tekanan darah, dan perubahan indeks massa tubuh pada lansia. Kesimpulan: Brisk Walking Exercise dapat menjadi salah satu latihan fisioterapi yang efektif untuk membantu meningkatkan daya tahan kardiovaskular, mengontrol tekanan darah, dan memperbaiki indeks massa tubuh pada lansia.
