Core Subject : Health,
Background: Increased blood pressure for a long time can increase the risk of kidney failure, co­ronary heart disease, brain damage, and other di­seases. In 2019, it is estimated that hyper­tens­ion is experienced by 1.13 billion people in the world with most (two thirds) living in low and mid­­dle income countries. Other study also shows that the police and military are at risk of develop­ing hypertension due to a number of factors such as low know­led­ge about healthy and nutritious food, co-workers who are smokers, and consum­ing alco­hol. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for hypertension in the police and military in the world using meta analysis. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-ana­lysis and systematic review. The articles used we­re obtained from Google Scholar, Springer Link, Pro­­Quest, and Science Direct databases. Selected arti­cles published from 2000 to 2020. Keywords to search for articles are as follows: hypertension po­lice personnel and military, or hypertension po­lice personnel and military. The articles studi­ed are 3 full text articles with cross sectional stu­dy designs and 1 full text articles with case cont­rol study design. Articles are col­lect­ed using PRI­S­­­MA diagrams, and analy­zed us­ing the Re­vi­ew Ma­nager application 5.3. Results: Overweight (aOR= 1.42; 95% CI = 1.01 to 2.00; p= 0.04), alcohol consumption (aOR­=­ 1.­55; 95% CI= 1.12 to 2.12; p= 0.007), ciga­rette con­­­­sumption (aOR= 1.45 ; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.97; p= 0.020) is a risk factor for hyper­­­tension in the po­­­lice and military. Conclusion: Overweight, alcohol consump­tion, and cigarette consump­tion, are risk fac­tors for hypertension in po­lice and military personnel.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Chest physiotherapy and cough exercises are one of the commonly used methods as part of TB treatment. This study aimed to determine the effects of chest physiotherapy and cough exercises on sputum clearance and respiratory frequency in TB patients. Subjects and Method: This was a quasy experiment study with no control group. The study was conducted at Dungus Respiratory Hospital, Madiun, East Java. A sample of 26 TB patients was selected purposively. The independent variables in the study were effective cough and chest physiotherapy. The dependent variable in this study was sputum discharge. Chest and cough physiotherapy interventions are effective in patients 3 times. This study used a measuring instrument in the form of a sputum glass. The data collected were analyzed quantitatively using the Mann-Whitney test to determine the effect of chest physiotherapy and effective cough exercises on pulmonary tuberculosis conditions. Results: After combination interventions of chest physiotherapy and effective cough exercises, sputum released (Mean= 29.35; SD= 0.85) was higher than before (Mean= 23.65; SD= 0.68). Respiratory frequency after intervention (Mean= 25.88; SD= 0.73) was higher than before (Mean= 27.12; SD= 0.98). Conclusion: Sputum secretion and respiratory frequency are higher than before chest physiotherapy and cough exercises in TB patients. Keywords: chest physiotherapy, cough exercise, physiotherapy, tuberculosis. Correspondence:Nurul Fithriati Haristah. Study Program of Physiotherapy, Health Polytechnics, Ministry of Health Surakarta.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a condition of children under five with a z-score of less than -2 standard deviation (stunted) and less than -3 standard deviation (severely stunted). Interventions to accelerate stunting prevention require intervention and coaching, such as knowledge and parenting of toddlers in the community. This study aimed to determine the relationships between knowledge, and stunting in children aged 24-60 months.Subjects and Method: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted in the Ketang Health Center, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. A total of 60 children aged 24-60 months and their mothers was selected using purposive sampling. The independent variables were parenting and nutritional knowledge. The dependent variable was stunting. The instruments of this study were height measurement tools, knowledge, and parenting questionnaires. The data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression.Results: Children who have mothers with poor parenting are 0.15 times more stunted than mothers with good parenting. Nutrition knowledge is 0.04 times less likely to be stunted than mothers with good nutrition knowledge.Conclusion: Mothers with poor parenting and nutritional knowledge increase the risk of stunting. Keywords: Nutritional knowledge, parenting, stunting. Correspondence:Heribertus Handi. Nursing Study Program, Universitas Katolik Indonesia Santu Paulus Ruteng. Jl. Jenderal A.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus occurs because the virus lowers the body immune, which can lead to several things such as decreased sleep quality. Gymnastics is one exercise that can improve sleep quality, gymnastics can also reduce stress levels and anxiety. This study aims to discover the effect of gymnastics on sleep quality in COVID-19 patients. Subjects and Method: It was a systematic review and meta-analysis of primary studies. Article searches were conducted based on PICO model eligibility criteria. Population: COVID-19 patients. Intervention: administration of gymnastic intervention. Comparison: no gymnastics intervention. Outcome: improved sleep quality. Article search was conducted through journal databases including Google Scholar, MEDLINE/PubMed, Science Direct, Hindawi, BMC, Europe PMC, and Springer Link using search keywords: "gymnastic", "sleep quality", "gymnastic effect", "exercise", "exercise effect", "COVID-19", "randomized controlled trial", "gymnastic randomized controlled trial", "sleep quality -randomized controlled trial", AND "sleep quality on covid 19". The inclusion criteria used in this study were full paper articles with a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), with Odds Ratio (OR) for the effect size. The screened eligible articles were analyzed using RevMan 5.3. Results: This meta-analysis included 9 articles from China, India, South Korea, South America, North America, and Brazil. Good sleep quality increased with gymnastics in COVID-19 patients (aOR= 1.19; 95% CI= 1.14 to 1.24; p<0.001). There was an overestimate publication bias. Conclusion: The administration of gymnastics interventions to COVID-19 patients has a statisti-cally significant effect on improving sleep quality.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis cases in Indonesia occupy the second highest position after India. TB eradication is an important program in the SDGs 2030. Recovering from Tuberculosis is a blessing. This study aimed to explore the experiences of tuberculosis sufferers who have recovered. Subjects and Method: This qualitative study was conducted in the Yosodadi Community from January to February 2023. A total of 12 patients with tuberculosis who had successfully recovered were selected for this study. The variable of this study was the experiences of tuberculosis patients who have successfully recovered. A depth interview was used to obtain the data. The data were analyzed descriptively. Results: The study showed the importance of patients knowing their disease, the support of those around them, and health workers who have good empathy towards TB patients. This research also found the importance of health providers and patient families being asked to pay attention to the mental health problems suffered by TB patients. Conclusion: Vaccine reluctance is a huge problem in the face of a pandemic that is not yet over. Even with to achieve recovery for TB patients, efforts are needed to understand the mental condition of TB patients. Policymakers must consider ongoing health education regarding TB patient assistance by family and health workers. Keywords: Empathy, family support, health provider, mental health, patient, tuberculosis. Correspondence:Cri Sajjana Prajna Wekadigunawan. Faculty of Health Sciences Esa Unggul University.
