Abstract

Hypertension is one of the public health problems with increasing prevalence every year and has the potential to cause complications such as stroke, heart failure, and kidney damage. Non-pharmacological efforts are an alternative intervention that is increasingly used, one of which is cucumber water infused therapy which is believed to have a diuretic effect and antioxidant content to help lower blood pressure. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of cucumber infused water in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients in the working area of the Maccini Sawah Health Center. This study uses a pre-experimental design with a one group pretest–posttest approach. Blood pressure data were measured before and after administration of cucumber infused water during the intervention period. The instruments used were observation sheets and interviews. The results showed that there was a decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after cucumber infused water intervention. The decrease shows the body's positive response to cucumber's main content such as potassium, water, and flavonoids which play a role in reducing vascular resistance and improving hydration. Therefore, cucumber infused water is effective in lowering blood pressure in people with hypertension and can be recommended as a supportive non-pharmacological therapy in primary health care facilities

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence and is known as a silent killer because it can cause serious complications without clear early symptoms. Hypertension management is generally carried out with pharmacological therapy, but non-pharmacological therapies such as foot massage have also been proven effective. Foot massage is a technique that provides relaxation, improves blood circulation, and reduces sympathetic activity, thus lowering blood pressure. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of foot massage in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive patients. The benefits of this study are expected to provide input for students, educational institutions, healthcare providers, and patients with their families as a complementary alternative therapy. The method used was a case study on a patient with hypertension in the working area of Pampang Health Center, with a 20-minute foot massage intervention. The results showed a significant decrease in blood pressure from 180/97 mmHg to 173/90 mmHg on the first day, and from 169/90 mmHg to 158/87 mmHg on the second day. The patient also reported a reduction in pain scale from 4 to 3 and felt more relaxed. In conclusion, foot massage is an effective, safe, and low-cost complementary therapy for hypertension control

Abstract

STROKE is one of the major health problems in Indonesia because it not only increases morbidity and disability rates but also reduces patients' quality of life. Physical mobility impairment is one of the common effects on post-stroke patients due to muscle weakness and limited range of motion. One nursing intervention that can be provided to reduce these effects is Range of Motion (ROM) exercises, which have been proven to maintain joint flexibility, increase muscle strength, and prevent complications from immobilisation. To determine the application of ROM in stroke patients with physical mobility disorders in the working area of the Pampang Community Health Centre in Makassar City. A case study was conducted through nursing care that included the stages of assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The intervention was carried out for three days (3x24 hours) on patient Mr. B, a 66-year-old male with a history of non-haemorrhagic stroke since 3 years ago who experienced weakness in his right extremities. The results showed that after ROM exercises, the patient experienced improved mobility, characterised by reduced muscle stiffness, increased limb strength, and increased range of motion. Daily evaluations showed that the problem of physical mobility impairment had been partially resolved, with the involvement of the family playing an important role in helping with the exercises at home. The application of ROM is effective in improving the mobility of stroke patients, preventing complications due to immobilisation, and supporting patient independence. ROM exercises are a simple, inexpensive intervention that can be performed independently by patients and families, so they are recommended for routine application both in health facilities and at home.
