Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer experienced by women worldwide. During treatment procedures such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, patients often face challenges in the recovery process, both physically and emotionally, which may lead to a decline in their quality of life. One of the ways to support reproductive health recovery is through physical activity, as it can improve blood circulation and help regulate hormonal balance. This study aims to analyze the effect of physical activity on the quality of life of cervical cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.Subjects and Method:  This is a cross-sectional study conducted at Dr. Soedarso Hospital, Pontianak, West Kalimantan. A total of 30 cervical cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were selected in this study. The dependent variable was quality of life. The independent variable was physical activity. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed using Spearman rho test.Results: Spearman's rho correlation analysis showed a strong and statistically significant relationship between physical activity and quality of life in cancer patients (r = 0.66; p < 0.001). These results indicate that higher levels of physical activity improve the quality of life in cervical cancer patients.Conclusion: The findings demonstrate a strong and significant relationship between physical activity and the quality of life of cervical cancer patients. This indicates that the better the physical activity performed, the better the quality of life of cervical cancer patients.

Abstract

Latar belakang: Lansia penderita hipertensi sering menghadapi keterbatasan dalam self-care management dimana hal tersebut merupakan salah satu faktor yang meningkatkan risiko komplikasi. Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemandirian lansia melalui edukasi dan pendampingan self-care management berbasis kelompok. Metode: Kegiatan dilaksanakan selama 8 minggu di mulai sejak Agustus 2025 sampai Oktober2025, melalui empat tahap, yaitu sosialisasi, edukasi (diet DASH, exercise/weight bearing exercise, gaya hidup sehat, terapi obat & herbal aman), penerapan teknologi monitoring kesehatan, serta pendampingan dan evaluasi. Hasil: Sebanyak 20 lansia mengikuti program. Hasil pre-test menunjukkan hanya 40% peserta memahami prinsip self-care management, meningkat menjadi 87,5% pada post-test. Rerata tekanan darah sistolik turun dari 155 mmHg menjadi 145 mmHg, sedangkan diastolik turun dari 92 mmHg menjadi 86,5 mmHg. Selain itu, 80% peserta rutin melakukan exercise ringan ≥3 kali/minggu, 100% mengikuti pola makan DASH, obat dan mengkonsumsi herbal dan 85% melakukan melakukan manajemen stress dan 85% melakukan activity daily living (ADL) serta melakukan pemantauan tekanan darah secara mandiri. Kesimpulan: Program edukasi dan pendampingan self-care management terbukti meningkatkan pengetahuan, kepatuhan, serta kualitas hidup lansia hipertensi. Program ini direkomendasikan untuk diimplementasikan secara berkelanjutan di panti werdha maupun komunitas lansia dengan hipertensi lainnya.
