Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure is higher than normal values of ≥140/≥90 mmHg. Effective blood pressure control is the main goal to prevent and treat hypertension. In addition to pharmacological approaches, blood pressure can be controlled with non-pharmacological approaches such as acupressure therapy. This study aims to determine the effect of acupressure therapy at the SP6 and LI4 points on reducing blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension. Methods: This study was designed with a quasy-experiment with the type of research pre and post-test with control group with purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. The population amounted to 81 elderly people with hypertension with the number of samples used in this study as many as 46 elderly samples with hypertension (23 in intervention group and 23 in control group). The majority of respondents were aged 65-69 years, female, worked as traders, and had elementary school education and did not go to school. Blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer. Acupressure on SP6 and LI4 points was given to the intervention group for 3 weeks with a frequency of 2 times in 1 week, while the control group was given conventional treatment. Results: The results of the post-test difference in blood pressure between the intervention group and the control group with the Mann Whitney U-Test test showed a p-value = 0.000 (p <0.05), it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group. Conclusions: The study concludes that there is an effect of acupressure therapy at point SP 6 and LI 4 on lowering blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. It is hoped that the results of the study can be used as an alternative therapy in lowering blood pressure.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the leading cause of death for women in Indonesia with an increasing incidence rate. One method of early detection is Breast Self-Examination (SADARI), but this practice is still minimal among adolescent girls due to lack of education. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and actions of SADARI with the effectiveness of early detection of breast cancer in students of SMK Kesehatan Bali Dewata. With a cross-sectional design, the study involved 71 female students through proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires assessing knowledge, attitudes, and actions of SADARI. The results showed that 36.6% of respondents had sufficient knowledge and 45.1% had a positive attitude, but only 32.4% performed SADARI correctly and regularly. SADARI knowledge and action were significantly associated with early detection of breast cancer (p=0.000 and p=0.045), while attitude showed no significant correlation (p=0.090). In conclusion, awareness of SADARI is quite high, but the practice is still less than optimal. The behavioral recommendation for self-breast examination as an early detection of breast cancer is that the use of interactive educational media on the internet can help increase awareness and skills for self-examination.Keywords: Health behavior; Breast self-examination; Early detection

Abstract

Excessive gadget use among adolescents can affect sleep habits and rest quality. This study aims to determine the relationship between gadget use and sleep patterns among adolescents at PGRI 2 Denpasar High School. The research design used was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 145 respondents were selected using sampling techniques. The research instruments consisted of a questionnaire on gadget use (duration and frequency) and a questionnaire on sleep patterns (sleeping hours, sleep quality, and sleep disturbances). The data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank test to see the relationship between the two variables. The results showed that most respondents used gadgets for more than 2.5 hours per day, especially at night before bedtime. The respondents' sleep patterns were good, with 6-8 hours of sleep per night, and there were complaints of fatigue due to lack of sleep. The Spearman Rank test results showed a significant relationship between the duration of use and the pattern, with a p-value of 0.001 (α = 0.005) with a correlation coefficient value of -0.270, indicating a weak but significant negative relationship. The results of the frequency of gadget use showed a correlation coefficient value of 0.127 with a p-value of 0.129, indicating a weak positive relationship between the frequency of gadget use and sleep patterns.Keywords: Gadgets, Sleep Patterns, Adolescents, High School, Denpasar
