Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify patient perceptions, influencing factors, patient efforts, and increasing compliance with healthy lifestyles in hypertensive patients. Methodology: This study uses a qualitative approach method with a phenomenological design to explore in-depth information based on patient knowledge and understanding. The study was conducted on hypertensive patients from October to November 2024 at the Gatak Health Center. Results: Each patient has the same perception and knowledge about hypertension, but differs in the implementation of a healthy lifestyle and knowledge about complications of hypertension. Most patients agree that hypertension is dangerous and requires the implementation of a good lifestyle to prevent the development of hypertension, but some patients think that hypertension is not dangerous as long as they implement a good and correct healthy lifestyle. If this is put together, it will become the same core, only different in understanding, it is natural that this happens because each patient has a different mindset and understanding. All patients have learned information about hypertension from medical personnel education, television broadcasts, and personal experiences with the motivation of wanting to recover from hypertension. Applications/Originality/Value: Exploring how patients themselves perceive and understand these steps. Knowing the patient's perception will help in designing an educational program that is more targeted and in accordance with their needs and understanding.

Abstract

Non-pharmacological prevention strategies for allergic rhinitis in addressing the limitations of long-term antihistamine therapy: A systematic review Antihistamine therapy in Allergic rhinitis is generally the primary choice for symptom management. However, long-term use often presents side effects such as sedation, tolerance, and lack of control over allergen exposure. Non-pharmacological preventive strategies are important to explore as complementary and alternative approaches. Objective: To analyze effective non-pharmacological strategies for the prevention of allergic rhinitis. Methods: A literature search was conducted across electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, focusing on publications published between 2015 and 2024. The selected studies included experimental studies, systematic reviews, and clinical guidelines addressing non-pharmacological interventions for allergic rhinitis. The most frequently discussed non-pharmacological strategies included environmental controls (e.g., reducing exposure to dust, mites, and air pollution), nasal saline irrigation, mask use, lifestyle modifications, and patient education. Results: Several interventions have shown significant reductions in symptom scores and improvements in patients' quality of life, especially when combined with pharmacological therapy. Non-pharmacological approaches have significant potential as long-term management strategies for allergic rhinitis. Conclusion: The combination of education, environmental modifications, and physical interventions can reduce symptom frequency and the need for antihistamines.
