Abstract

Background Antihypertensive drugs in the elderly often cause side effects so that complementary therapy is needed, such as the use of herbal products. One effective herbal product is ginger because it contains the chemical compounds gingerol and shogaol which can function to lower blood pressure. The aim is to determine the difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between before and after treatment. This research method uses a quasi-experimental approach with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sample consisted of 35 elderly people with hypertension who were selected by purposive sampling. The intervention was in the form of giving 4 grams of white ginger decoction boiled in 200 ml of water. Researchers gave the white ginger decoction 2 times a day (morning and evening) for 7 days. The instrument used was a daily blood pressure observation sheet. Data analysis used a paired t-test with a significance level of p <0.05. Research results The average systolic blood pressure of respondents decreased from 150.37 mmHg to 133.34 mmHg, while diastolic blood pressure decreased from 90.20 mmHg to 69.74 mmHg. The statistical test results showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: White ginger decoction has been shown to be effective in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive elderly patients. Nursing practice recommends integrating this intervention into education and support programs for the elderly, along with regular monitoring to ensure its safety and effectiveness.

Abstract

Malaria masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat di Papua, termasuk Kabupaten Kepulauan Yapen, dengan angka kasus yang tinggi pada anak. Tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pencegahan malaria berperan penting dalam menurunkan risiko penularan. Edukasi berbasis komunitas, seperti penyuluhan menggunakan media leaflet, terbukti dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan dan perilaku preventif masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh edukasi berbasis komunitas melalui media leaflet terhadap tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai pencegahan malaria pada anak di Kampung Turu, Distrik Yapen Selatan, Kabupaten Kepulauan Yapen. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain pre-eksperimental one group pretest-posttest. Sampel sebanyak 30 responden dipilih dengan purposive sampling, memenuhi kriteria usia ≥18 tahun, berdomisili minimal satu tahun, dan bersedia mengikuti seluruh rangkaian penelitian. Instrumen berupa kuesioner pengetahuan dengan 10 item pilihan ganda yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitas. Data dikumpulkan melalui pretest, intervensi edukasi menggunakan leaflet, dan posttest, kemudian dianalisis dengan uji paired sample t-test pada tingkat signifikansi 0,05. Hasil menunjukkan rata-rata skor pengetahuan meningkat dari 10,34 ± 2,80 menjadi 17,34 ± 2,10, dengan peningkatan signifikan (t = 15,35; p < 0,001). Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa edukasi berbasis komunitas menggunakan media leaflet efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pencegahan malaria pada anak. Intervensi ini disarankan diterapkan secara berkelanjutan dengan keterlibatan kader lokal untuk memperluas jangkauan pengetahuan dan perilaku preventif.

Abstract

Mental health disorders remain a significant public health concern in Indonesia due to their increasing prevalence and substantial impact on individuals, families, and communities. These disorders can impair a person's ability to think clearly, regulate emotions, behave appropriately, and interact effectively with others. Among the various symptoms experienced by individuals with mental disorders, hallucinations are one of the most common and challenging because they can interfere with daily functioning and increase the risk of relapse if not properly managed. Families play a crucial role in supporting patients through appropriate care, supervision, and adherence to treatment. Therefore, improving family knowledge about hallucination management is essential to enhance patient outcomes. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the knowledge of families and patients regarding the care and management of hallucinations at the Abepura Mental Hospital (RSK Abepura). The activity was conducted through direct mental health education and counseling sessions involving interactive lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. A total of 63 participants, consisting of patients and their family members visiting the hospital, took part in the program. The evaluation demonstrated that approximately 75% of participants actively engaged in the educational sessions, showed high enthusiasm, and were able to correctly answer the evaluation questions, indicating an improvement in their understanding of hallucination management. These findings suggest that mental health education is an effective strategy for enhancing family knowledge and supporting better care for patients with hallucinations.

Abstract

People with HIV/AIDS often experience disturbances in their self concept and well being. A low self concept can cause people with HIV/AIDS to feel worthless, insecure, and hopeless about the future. Low well being can also cause people with HIV/AIDS to experience stress, anxiety, and depression. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-concept and well being variables in HIV AIDS patients. The sampling technique in this study used total sampling with a sample of 35 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability, which were self-administered by the respondents. The analysis test used Spearman's rho with a p-value of < 0.005. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between self-concept and well-being in HIV AIDS patients (sig value = 0.001, p < 0.05). The correlation coefficient (r) was 0.543, indicating a strong positive correlation. Self-concept has a significant relationship with subjective well-being in HIV AIDS patients, which means that HIV AIDS patients who have a positive self concept are more likely to have higher subjective well being.
