This anxiety is an independent risk factor that can worsen the condition of hypertensive patients. Pharmacological therapies such as psychopharmaceutical therapy and somatic therapy. The non-pharmacological therapies are deep breath relaxation therapy, distraction therapy, five-finger hypnosis therapy, murrotal Quran therapy, and positive self-talk therapy. Of these therapies, positive self-talk therapy is a therapy that is universal, easy to practice, and has a significant therapeutic effect in anxiety management in hypertensive patients. This study aims to determine the effect of positive-self-talk on the level of anxiety in hypertensive patients in the Limboto Health Center Area. The research design used in this study is a pseudo-experimental experiment or quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design.The number of samples in this study was 36 respondents using purposive sampling. The results of the study using the Paired Sample T-Test showed that there was a positive effect of self-talk on the level of anxiety in hypertensive patients before and after being given intervention in the experimental group and control group in the Limboto Health Center area with a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05) in the experimental group and a p-value result(0.825 (> 0.05) in the control group.

Abstract

Gout arthritis triggers acute pain that interferes with mobility. At the Central City Health Center, there were 459 cases with a tendency for patients to avoid chemical drugs. Warm ginger water foot soaking therapy comes as a nonpharmacological alternative that takes advantage of the thermal and phytochemical effects of ginger. This Quasi-Experimental quantitative research with Non-Equivalent Control Group Design involved 36 respondents who were selected by purposive sampling. Respondents were divided into intervention groups (warm ginger water) and control (warm water). The pain scale was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. The majority of respondents were men (56%) with an age range of 41-50 years (44%). Both groups showed a significant reduction in pain after the intervention (p=0.000). Although the decline in the ginger group was slightly higher, the intergroup test showed no significant difference in effectiveness (p=0.318). Soaking your feet in warm ginger water and regular warm water are equally effective in relieving gout arthritis pain. This therapy is recommended as a safe and economical independent pain management for the community.
