Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a condition where blood pressure increases abnormally on several examinations with systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements ≥140/90 mmHg. The elderly are vulnerable to hypertension because old age is a phase where the body has experienced physiological decline so that it is more susceptible to disease. Hypertension can be treated pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically. Non-pharmacological therapy that can be given to patients with hypertension is a combination of warm water foot soak therapy and aromatherapy lemon. Purpose: This case study aims to determine the effect of a combination of warm water foot soak therapy and lemon aromatherapy on elderly people with hypertension. Methods: The method used in this research is a case study with 3 hypertensive elderly subjects. The focus of this study is the application of evidence-based practice in the form of a combination of warm water foot soak therapy and lemon aromatherapy for 3 consecutive days for 15 minutes. Discussion: The results of the study showed that warm water foot soak therapy and lemon aromatherapy could reduce blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension with an average decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure for the three clients, namely 15.1 mmHg and 8.5 mmHg. Conclusion: Warm water foot soak therapy and lemon aromatherapy have an effect on lowering blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Perineal hygiene is a way to treat and maintain cleanliness of the genital area to preserve the health of reproductive organs. Knowledge and attitudes can improve perineal hygiene. This study aimed to determine the effect of a mobile application on knowledge and attitudes among adolescents about perineal hygiene for preventing vaginal discharge. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental pretest and posttest with a control group. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling, with 84 respondents divided into two groups of 42 each. The instrument used was the Perineal Hygiene Knowledge and Attitude Questionnaire. The data were analysed using the T-test and the Mann-Whitney U. Results: The study showed differences in the pre- and post-intervention knowledge and attitudes scores in the intervention group (p=0.001;<0.05). In the control group, there was no difference in the pre- and post-test scores of knowledge (p=0.884; p>0.05) and attitudes (p=0.343; p>0.05). The results of the knowledge and attitude post-test scores between the intervention and control groups were significantly different (p=0.001; p <0.05). Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that there was an increase in knowledge and attitudes towards perineal hygiene after providing health education through the “Pergiene Care” application. The Pergiene Care application can be used as an educational medium for adolescents to improve perineal hygiene.
