Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is defined as a persistent increase in blood pressure which, if not controlled, can lead to complications such as stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney damage, retinopathy, and even death. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between demographic characteristics and knowledge with hypertension complication prevention behaviors in the Jatiranggon Community Health Center service area. Methods: This quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design involved 105 respondents aged 18–59 years, selected using purposive sampling based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed with Chi-square, Kendall’s tau-c, and Kendall’s tau-b tests. Results: Most respondents were aged 56–65 years (42.9%), female (53.3%), had secondary education (60.0%), had Stage 1 hypertension (53.3%), and demonstrated good knowledge (90.5%). However, 68.6% exhibited only fair preventive behaviors. Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between gender and preventive behaviors (p < 0.05), with females more likely to engage in such behaviors. No significant associations were found for age, educational level, blood pressure status, or knowledge. Conclusion: Gender demonstrated a significant association with hypertension complication prevention behaviors, while age, education, blood pressure, and knowledge did not show significant relationships.

Abstract

Cancer refers to a condition where cells grow uncontrollably, potentially harming nearby healthy tissues and spreading via the lymphatic system and bloodstream. Among various types of leukemia, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most frequently found in pediatric patients. Chemotherapy, the primary treatment, often causes nausea and vomiting, affecting the child's comfort and nutritional intake. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of P6 acupressure therapy in reducing nausea and vomiting in children with ALL. A case study was conducted involving two children undergoing chemotherapy at unit Anggrek, RS X, Jakarta. P6 acupressure was applied for 3–4 consecutive days. Results indicated a significant decrease in nausea intensity and vomiting frequency in one patient, while the other showed a mild reduction. The findings demonstrate that P6 acupressure is an effective, non-pharmacological nursing intervention for managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in pediatric patients. This therapy can be safely taught to caregivers as part of home-based supportive care, providing practical implications for nursing practice in pediatric oncology settings.
