Abstract

Rabies is an acute infectious disease of the central nervous system caused by the rabies virus and belongs to the zoonotic group, which is a disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans through bites or exposure from Rabies Transmitting Animals (HPR) such as dogs, monkeys, ferrets, cats, and wild animals that have been infected. In the prevention of rabies after exposure (Post Exposure Prophylaxis/PEP), there are three important elements, namely wound care, anti-rabies serum (SAR), and anti-rabies vaccine (VAR). This community service activity is carried out through approaches, preparation, and implementation with the aim of increasing the understanding of high school students about first aid and wound care due to the bite of an animal infected with rabies. The targets to be achieved in this activity include providing comprehensive health education about rabies, health risks for sufferers, rabies prevention, and how to treat wounds caused by rabies bites. With this education, it is hoped that students can have a better understanding and be able to apply first aid measures and wound care appropriately.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease characterized by blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg with risk of cardiovascular complications. Patient knowledge and family support are believed to play roles in disease control. This study aimed to analyze the relationship of knowledge level and family support with hypertension severity in Dusun III, Tanjung Anom Village, Deli Serdang Regency. A quantitative correlational study with cross-sectional design was conducted. The sample consisted of 34 hypertension patients selected by total sampling. Instruments included a 15-item knowledge questionnaire (true–false scoring) and a 17-item family support questionnaire using a Likert scale. Blood pressure was measured with a sphygmomanometer and categorized based on the Indonesian Ministry of Health 2021 guidelines. Data were analyzed with Spearman Rank correlation (α = 0.05). Results showed a significant relationship between knowledge level and hypertension severity (ρ = 0.457; p = 0.007) and between family support and hypertension severity (ρ = 0.570; p < 0.001), both with positive direction. These findings indicate meaningful associations that must be interpreted cautiously given the cross-sectional design that cannot establish causation. Family-based education and routine blood pressure monitoring at primary care are recommended to optimize disease management.

Abstract

Dementia is a leading cause of disability among the elderly, and physical activity has been recognised as one of the modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline. Institutionalised older adults are particularly vulnerable because of restricted mobility and monotonous routines, yet evidence from Indonesian foundation-based care settings remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to analyse the relationship between physical activity and the level of dementia among older adults living at Yayasan Sosial Nelly Huang Indonesia, Medan. Methods: A quantitative analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in January 2026. Forty-two elderly residents were selected through purposive sampling from a population of 71 using the Slovin formula. Physical activity was assessed with the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) and cognitive function with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Data were analysed using univariate distribution and the Spearman rank correlation test after a Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality check. Results: A significant relationship was found between physical activity and the level of dementia (r = 0.457; p = 0.002), indicating a moderate association in which more favourable levels of physical activity accompanied better cognitive status. Conclusion: Physical activity is significantly associated with the level of dementia among institutionalised older adults. Structured and sustained physical activity programmes are recommended as a nonpharmacological strategy to preserve cognitive function.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between adolescents' knowledge about HIV/AIDS and HIV/AIDS prevention behavior at SMA Swasta Katolik Santa Maria Medan. Adolescents remain a high-risk group for HIV/AIDS transmission due to limited reproductive-health knowledge and exposure to risky behaviors, while national data show that Medan City records the highest number of HIV cases in North Sumatra Province. This research employed a descriptive-correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 294 students in grades X–XII, and 75 respondents were recruited using the Slovin formula with a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire adapted from a previously validated instrument, then analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses. The results showed that most respondents were female (54.7%) and aged 17 years (69.3%). The majority of respondents had a moderate level of knowledge about HIV/AIDS (58.6%) and moderate prevention behavior (66.6%). Bivariate analysis produced a correlation coefficient of 0.249 with a p-value of 0.045 (<0.05), indicating a statistically significant but weak positive relationship between adolescents' knowledge and HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. These findings imply that continuous and systematic health-education programs at school are needed to strengthen adolescents' knowledge and preventive behavior toward HIV/AIDS.

Abstract

Cesarean section is a surgical delivery procedure that continues to increase every year and carries the risk of postoperative complications, one of which is impaired wound healing. Suboptimal wound healing may increase the risk of infection, prolong hospitalization, and add to treatment costs. Early mobilization is a recommended nursing intervention to accelerate recovery by improving blood circulation and the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the wound tissue. This study aimed to examine the relationship between early mobilization and the wound healing process in patients following cesarean section at RSU Bunda Thamrin Medan. A quantitative descriptive study with a non-experimental approach was conducted on 40 respondents selected through accidental sampling from 22 December 2025 to 30 January 2026. Data were collected using a validated 15-item questionnaire on early mobilization and an observation sheet for wound healing, and were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results showed that 24 respondents (60.0%) performed early mobilization in the good category and 29 respondents (72.5%) experienced good wound healing. The statistical test produced a p-value of 0.029 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between early mobilization and the wound healing process. Early mobilization should be applied in a structured and consistent manner as part of postoperative nursing care.
