Abstract

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and neurological impairment in Indonesia. This brain attack is a medical emergency that must be treated quickly, precisely, and carefully. This research aims to determine the effect of positioning techniques on the incidence of decubitus in stroke infarction patients. The research design used was a pre-experiment with a static group comparison design approach. The sampling technique used in this research was purposive sampling, with a total sample of 24 respondents. The treatment group consisted of 12 respondents, and the control group consisted of 12 respondents. After being evaluated for a month, the Chi-Square test results were obtained with a p-value of 0.013, which means less than 0.05; this means there is an influence between positioning and the incidence of pressure ulcers. In the treatment group, the results showed that ten respondents did not experience pressure ulcers after treatment; in the control group, eight suffered from pressure ulcers. This can occur due to patient compliance and the surrounding environment in activities such as tilting left and right to prevent pressure ulcers. This positioning action, carried out between 2-3 hours can make blood circulation in the body run smoothly, so this can reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers in patients who are lying down in bed.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic medical condition that requires long-term management through medication and lifestyle changes. Adherence to the treatment regimen is a key factor in controlling blood pressure and preventing potentially fatal complications. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between adherence to medication consumption and blood pressure in hypertension sufferers. This study used a cross-sectional design involving 40 respondents who were diagnosed with hypertension at several health centers in Nganjuk City. Data was collected through a questionnaire that measured the patient's level of compliance with taking antihypertensive drugs and blood pressure checks carried out by medical personnel. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between the level of adherence to taking medication and the level of blood pressure control (p < 0.05). Patients who have a high level of compliance tend to have better controlled blood pressure compared to patients who are not compliant. These findings emphasize the importance of improving adherence to treatment in hypertension management to achieve optimal health outcomes.
