Abstract

Abstract: Dhuha prayer is a physical activity with light-moderate intensity that can induce the activity of the parasympathetic nerve and suppress the activity of the sympathetic nerve through the release of alpha waves of the brain. The intensity of exercise or physical activity with heart rate has a linear relationship. This study aims to determine the effect of the number of prayers on the heart rate of elderly Muslim women in the 2023 Binjai Senior Social Service UPTD. This type of research is experimental in one group community on all elderly Muslim women aged 60-80 years at UPTD. Social Services for the Elderly. The sample will perform dhuha prayers of 2-8 rak'ahs, and after completing 2 rak'ahs, will be measured by heart rate using a pulse oximeter. The results of the Pearson Correlation test showed a significant influence or correlation between the number of rak'ahs of dhuha prayer on heart rate (p=0.76). The results of the one-way ANOVA test showed significant changes in heart rate in each number of rak'ahs of dhuha prayer with a p0.001 value. There is an influence of the number of rak'ahs of dhuha prayer on the heart rate of the elderly and meaningful changes in heart rate in each number of rak'ahs of dhuha prayer.

Abstract

Abstract: Students are at a vulnerable age where they will experience a transition period from late adolescence to early adulthood. Individuals who experience stress and depression can increase bad health behaviour, such as irregular brushing of teeth, irregular dental check-ups at the dentist and neglecting oral hygiene. This will cause an increase in plaque accumulation, which is the main cause of periodontal disease, and a decrease in the resistance of the periodontium, which can cause inflammation. This study aims to assess the relationship between academic stress and the occurrence of gingivitis in 2019 FK UMSU students. This research is a cross-sectional study involving 67 students. Subjects were asked to fill out the ESSA questionnaire, and their teeth were examined. The data obtained were analysed using chi-square. From data analysis, it was found that the majority of respondents had the criteria for severe academic stress and mild gingivitis. The p-value obtained is 0.043, which means there is a relationship between academic stress and the occurrence of gingivitis. There is a significant relationship between academic stress and the occurrence of gingivitis in 2019 FK UMSU students.

Abstract

Abstract: Short-term memory has an important role in cognitive function, especially in the process of learning and remembering information in a short period of time. One of the external factors that is often associated with memory abilities is music. A number of studies have found that music can improve focus and memory, but there are also studies that show that music can actually interfere with concentration. This difference in results became the basis for a study to find out whether there was a difference in short-term memory between the group that listened to music and the group that did not listen to music in students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Muhammadiyah North Sumatra. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental post-test with control group design and was analyzed using an independent t-test. The results showed a significant difference between the two groups. The average short-term memory score for students who listen to music is 9.6486, while for students who do not listen to music is 6.3784 with a p-value of 0.001. These findings suggest that listening to music can have a positive effect on short-term memory improvement, especially when the music chosen is in accordance with individual preferences and supported by memorization practice.

Abstract

Abstract: Obesity is one of the main risk factors for hypertension. Women of childbearing age are prone to obesity due to an unbalanced diet, low physical activity, and hormonal influences. This study aims to determine the relationship between obesity and blood pressure in women of childbearing age (20–29 years). This study is an analytical descriptive study with a cross-sectional design involving 72 obese women of childbearing age in Medan Deli District, Medan City, North Sumatra Province. Samples were taken purposively, with direct measurements of body weight, height, and blood pressure. BMI is categorised as obesity level I (58.3%) and II (41.7%). The majority of blood pressure was hypertension of the first degree (54.2%), normal (25.0%), and pre-hypertension (20.8%). The Fisher test showed no significant association between obesity and blood pressure (p = 0.634). There was no significant association between obesity and blood pressure in women of childbearing age aged 20–29 years. Young age and the possible protective effects of the hormone estrogen, which increases vasodilation through nitric oxide and lowers oxidative stress, are thought to play a role in preventing an increase in blood pressure despite obesity.

Abstract: The prevalence of the elderly in Indonesia in 2020 is predicted to be more than 28 million people in the next two years. The elderly group is prone to the occurrence of high blood pressure. Increased blood pressure is a problem that can occur in the event of ageing process. Blood pressure and pulse can be controlled through healthy lifestyle changes, such as exercising. Based on this presentation, the researcher is interested in finding out whether there is an effect of low-impact aerobic exercise on blood pressure and pulse rate in the elderly. This research method is a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The design in this study was that there was only one group of interventions, or those who were given treatment. The measuring instrument used to measure is a sphygmanometer. In the Wilcoxon test, systolic blood pressure was found to have a p value of 0.005, diastolic blood pressure was found to have a p value of 0.010, and pulse was found to have a p value of 0.000. In the Wilcoxon test, it is said to have an effect if the p-value: 0.05.  It can be concluded that low-impact aerobic exercise can lower systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, and can raise the pulse rate of the elderly
