Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with increasing prevalence, including among productive age adults. Coffee consumption habits and unhealthy lifestyles are suspected to increase the risk of hypertension. This study aimed to determine the relationship between coffee consumption and lifestyle with the incidence of hypertension among productive age adults in Tanjung Gusta Village, Medan City.  Method: This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design. The sample comprised 98 respondents selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and blood pressure measurement using a sphygmomanometer. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: Among 98 respondents, 18 (18.4%) had hypertension. Coffee consumption was significantly associated with hypertension (p=0.033), and lifestyle was also significantly associated with hypertension (p=0.041). Respondents who frequently consumed coffee and had unhealthy lifestyles showed higher proportions of elevated blood pressure. Conclusion: There are significant relationships between coffee consumption and lifestyle with the incidence of hypertension among productive age adults in Tanjung Gusta Village, Medan City. Limiting coffee intake and adopting a healthy lifestyle are recommended for hypertension prevention.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that can lead to serious complications if not managed properly. Patients' knowledge level is hypothesized to influence their preventive behaviors, particularly within the context of Primary Care Integration (Integrasi Layanan Primer, ILP) implemented at community health centers. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge level and preventive behaviors for hypertension complications among patients in the ILP program at Medan Johor Community Health Center.  Method: A quantitative survey design was used. Data were collected in April–May 2026 using printed questionnaires. The population comprised 7,648 hypertension patients, with a sample of 99 respondents determined using the Slovin formula and purposive sampling. Univariate and bivariate analyses (Chi-square test) were performed. Results: Most respondents were aged 55–64 years (53.5%), female (69.7%), had senior high school education (59.6%), and were housewives (62.6%). The majority had good knowledge (72.7%) and good preventive behaviors (90.9%). The Chi-square test showed a p-value of 0.669 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between knowledge level and preventive behaviors for hypertension complications in this population. Conclusion: Although most hypertensive patients had good knowledge and good preventive behaviors, knowledge was not significantly associated with preventive behavior in the context of ILP implementation. Other factors such as family support, motivation, and healthcare access may play more influential roles.

Abstract

Background: Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) in schools is a government program implemented through community health centers to improve public health status. Elementary school-aged children are a vulnerable group for various diseases associated with PHBS. This study aimed to identify factors associated with PHBS among students at public elementary schools in Banda Aceh City. Methods: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from November 2023 to January 2024. The population comprised 192 students, with a sample of 85 fourth and fifth grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and checklists and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: Results showed that most respondents were male (51.8%) and aged 5-11 years (61.2%). More than half of respondents (56.5%) demonstrated poor PHBS, 65.9% had low knowledge levels, 45.9% reported unavailable PHBS facilities and infrastructure, and 60.0% perceived teacher roles as poor. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between knowledge level (p=0.024) and availability of facilities and infrastructure (p=0.004) with PHBS; however, no significant association was found between teacher role and PHBS (p=0.562). Conclusion: In conclusion, knowledge level and availability of facilities and infrastructure were significantly associated with PHBS among public elementary school students in Banda Aceh City. It is recommended that community health centers conduct regular PHBS education in schools and that schools complete necessary facilities while strengthening supervision of student PHBS implementation.
