Abstract

Background: Lower back pain is a prevalent health concern on a global scale, particularly among female and elderly demographics. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of regular pelvic floor exercises on the severity of low back pain and the enhancement of daily functioning in postmenopausal women. Methods: The present study employs a quasi-experimental design, incorporating a pre-post-test approach and a control group. Based on the extant data, 18 postmenopausal women will be distributed between the control group and the intervention group. The control group will participate in pelvic floor exercises thrice weekly for three weeks, while the intervention group will engage in pelvic floor exercises daily for three consecutive weeks. The collected data will be subjected to a paired sample t-test to make a pre-and post-intervention comparison, while an independent t-test will be employed to compare the groups at a significant level of p<0.05. Results: The average numeric rating scale (NRS) and modified Oswestry low back pain disability index (MODI) values in the control group after performing pelvic floor exercises were recorded as (6.0±1.4) and (20.3±7.3), respectively, while in the intervention group, they were (2.6±1.7) and (9.44±7.9). These data show a significant difference with a p-value < 0.000 (p < 0.05). A comparison between the control and intervention groups after performing pelvic floor exercises with different frequencies also revealed significant differences, with p-values of 0.000 and 0.008 (p<0.05), respectively. However, a larger difference was observed in the intervention group performing pelvic floor exercises daily, showing a much higher delta compared to the group exercising three times a week, with NRS values of (4.4±0.5) and MODI values of (19.7±1.7). Conclusion: In postmenopausal women, the group that performed pelvic floor exercises daily exhibited a significant reduction in NRS and MODI values compared to the group that performed exercises three times a week.

Abstract

Background: This study addresses the public health issue of community hygiene and wellness by focusing on the Clean and Healthy Lifestyle Behavior (CHLB) as a key parameter. The subject of the assessment is the community of Sompok Hamlet, Bantul, with the purpose of evaluating the implementation of CHLB within households to understand areas of strength and needed improvement. Purpose of the Study: The purpose is to assess the level of CHLB implementation in Sompok Hamlet. The objective is to measure household compliance across various CHLB indicators and identify specific behavioral gaps that require targeted intervention. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional survey design conducted in 2023. Data were collected from 202 households across seven neighborhood units (RT) using a structured questionnaire to evaluate compliance with standard CHLB indicators. Results: The results showed that 68.3% of households met the criteria for independent healthy communities. High compliance was observed in indicators like access to clean water, sanitation, exclusive breastfeeding, and toddler weighing. However, significant gaps were identified in physical activity (71.3% low compliance) and indoor smoking practices (64% low compliance). Practices related to fruit/vegetable consumption, handwashing, and larva elimination showed varied results. The findings highlight the need for focused educational programs to address these specific behavioral deficiencies to promote sustainable community health.
