Abstract

Background: hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and remains a major public health challenge worldwide. Patient adherence to antihypertensive therapy is often suboptimal, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies have emerged as promising tools to enhance medication adherence and support self-monitoring of blood pressure. Objective: this review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mHealth applications in improving blood pressure control among hypertensive patients. Methods: a systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Relevant studies were identified through comprehensive searches of PubMed and Google Scholar using keywords such as “hypertension,” “telemedicine,” and “blood pressure.” Articles were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and findings were synthesized descriptively to identify trends and outcomes across studies. Results: evidence indicates that mHealth applications integrating patient education, monitoring, and behavioral support are associated with improved medication adherence and reductions in blood pressure. However, results varied across studies due to differences in intervention design, duration of use, and patient characteristics. Conclusion: mHealth applications show potential as effective adjuncts to hypertension management, but further research is needed to optimize personalization, integration with health systems, and accessibility. Proper implementation of these technologies may enhance patient quality of life and contribute to reducing the global burden of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

The problem in this study is that farmers are at high risk of musculoskeletal disorders due to non-ergonomic work postures, which have an impact on poor sleep quality. Community-based non-pharmacological interventions to address this problem in the Indonesian farming population are still very limited. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a community-based ergonomic exercise program on improving sleep quality among farmers. The method used in this study is a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design without a control group. A total of 85 farmers were selected using purposive sampling in West Bandung Regency. The intervention consisted of ergonomic exercises (stretching, core muscle strengthening, relaxation) for 10-15 minutes per session, 5 times a week, for 2 weeks. Sleep quality was measured using the Indonesian version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed a significant decrease in the global PSQI score from 12.92 (SD=4.71) to 11.61 (SD=4.29) with a mean difference of -1.31 (95% CI: -1.89 to -0.73; p<0.001). The effect size was in the moderate category (r=0.359). The proportion of respondents with good sleep quality increased from 9.4% to 22.4%. The discussion in this study is that ergonomic exercises are associated with improved sleep quality through muscle tension reduction, autonomic nervous system modulation, and increased postural awareness. These findings are consistent with previous studies in working populations. However, the absence of a control group limits causal conclusions. In conclusion, community-based ergonomic exercise programs show potential as a feasible and acceptable promotive-preventive intervention to improve sleep quality among farmers. Further research with an RCT design and longer duration is needed to confirm causal effectiveness.

Abstract

Depression in the elderly is a public health issue that is sometimes influenced by low social interaction, but community-based studies are still limited. This study aims to analyze how social engagement relates to depression severity among elderly. This study used cross sectional approach and recruited 56 elderly participants aged 60–72 years. Depression level measured by the 30 item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Social engagement was assessed with the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and linear regression analysis. Participants averaged score are 13.70 on depression (SD=5.77) and 17.57 on social engagement (SD=2.79). We found a negative correlation: less social contact linked to higher depression level (r = –0.288, p = 0.031). Regression confirmed this pattern which social engagement predicted depression levels (B = –0.398, p = 0.002). Social engagement is important to reduce depressive sign and symptoms among the elderly. Community-based programs is needed to strengthen social support to improve mental health in elderly.
