Abstract

Introduction: The aging process introduces behavioral and physiological challenges, including tooth loss. While complete dentures restore function and aesthetics, inadequate hygiene compromises their effectiveness. Existing educational resources often lack clarity and do not adequately support behavior change. This study aimed to analyze a complete denture hygiene maintenance instruction. Methods: This study employed an experimental one-group pretest and posttest design, involving 37 elderly participants from Panti Jompo Pusaka 41 Yayasan Al-Madiniyah. A 15-item questionnaire was administered through structured interviews both before and two weeks after the distribution of a booklet on denture hygiene maintenance instruction techniques. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze differences. Results: Following the two-week intervention, 78% of participants achieved good knowledge scores, 84% demonstrated good attitudes, and 73% reported good hygiene practices. Wilcoxon analysis showed significant improvements across all three domains (p=0,001). Conclusion: The use of instructional booklets can enhance a complete denture hygiene maintenance instruction among the elderly. Although behavior is presented as an overall outcome, the analysis was conducted independently for each domain to ensure interpretive clarity.

Abstract

Hypertension in pregnancy is one of the leading causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. In the working area of Grogol Petamburan Public Health Center, the incidence of hypertension among pregnant women continues to rise annually, contributing to a high rate of pregnancy complications. This study aims to reduce complications associated with hypertension in pregnancy through the SI-PERI MALAM innovation using the 5 PERI CETAR SEHATI strategy, which integrates early detection, health education, family support, non-pharmacological therapy, and guided physical activity. This descriptive observational study applied a pre–post test design without a control group involving 12 hypertensive pregnant women. The 14-day intervention was carried out through five stages: Si-Peri Gece (blood pressure monitoring), Si-Peri Pintar (education via digital pocketbook and maternal classes), Si-Peri Siaga (family support), Si-Peri Sehat (daily cucumber juice consumption), and Si-Peri Aktif (prenatal yoga). The results showed a significant decrease in blood pressure among all participants, improved maternal knowledge, and a reduction in both maternal and neonatal complications. This program proved effective in improving the health status of hypertensive pregnant women through a holistic approach and holds potential as a national model for managing hypertension during pregnancy.
