Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure in the blood vessels chronically increases. Apart from pharmacological therapy, management of hypertension uses non-pharmacological therapy such as ANSI (Anti Hypertension) exercises. This study aims to analyze the effect of ANSI (Anti Hypertension) exercise on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Method: This research has a pre-experimental one group pre-post test design. Population of 107 hypertensive patients aged 56 - 65 years at the Industrial Health Center, Gresik District, Gresik Regency, East Java. A total of 44 hypertensive patients were included as samples based on a purposive sampling technique. The independent variable in this study is ANSI (Anti Hypertension) exercise and the dependent variable in this study is the blood pressure of hypertensive patients. The instruments used in this research were the Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) for ANSI (Anti Hypertension) exercise, a digital sphygmomanometer and a blood pressure observation sheet. The data was then analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistical test with a significance level of 95%. Result: Statistical test results showed that the reduction in systolic blood pressure after doing ANSI (Anti Hypertension) exercises was 5.41 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure was 1.59 mmHg. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistical test has a p value = 0.00 (p value <0.05). Conclusion: ANSI (Anti Hypertension) exercise reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Community nurses need to carry out educational activities and provide information on the importance of physical activity such as ANSI (Anti Hypertension) exercises in managing blood pressure. Community Health Centers need to provide policies by providing services and facilities to improve health programs, especially making ANSI (Anti Hypertension) exercise a routine program at least once a week, because it has many benefits for the health of hypertensive patients.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The problem of landslide risk that has a significant impact and the importance of preparedness efforts, it is very necessary to increase public awareness and perception to participate in landslide disaster planning. The public must understand the emergency plan to overcome the risk of landslides that can threaten safety, so it is necessary to provide an Emergency Planning simulation. This study was intended to explore the effect of emergency preparedness planning on community’s ability to prepare for and respond to landslide disasters. This research with Preexperimental design involved 84 respondents as the sample size through purposive sampling technique with inclusion criteria of youth groups aged 17-35 years. In this study, Emergency Planning simulation intervention was given twice with a duration of 170 minutes for each face-to-face meeting. The results showed an increase in community preparedness in the good category, which initially increased from 33.3% to 53.5% and a decrease in the less prepared category from 14.3% to 3.6%. The results of the Wilcoxon test data analysis obtained P value: 0.001 (<a: 0.05) indicating an influence of emergency preparedness planning on community’s ability to prepare for and respond to landslide disasters. Emergency planning is very important to be known and implemented by the community to be better prepared to face landslide-prone emergencies. Emergency planning simulation can increase public knowledge and awareness of the importance of preparedness in facing landslides, so as to minimize the number of victims and losses that will be experienced. It is recommended that the application of Emergency planning can be expanded to the entire community so as to increase joint preparedness Keywords; youth groups; simulation; emergency planning;readiness.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: This paper examines the psychological consequences of the unjustified removal of a child from our family by social workers in a context where child protection practices have been compromised.   Method: The case study presented highlights the child's increased familiarity with terms commonly used by social workers, which subsequently shapes their everyday conversations around foster care, abuse, violence, social workers, child protection, medication, and freedom.   Result: The child interprets their previous home experiences, including basic activities such as eating, drinking, and personal hygiene, as instances of violence and abuse. The paper argues that social workers, in their pursuit to justify the removal, meticulously scrutinize every aspect of family life, often fabricating evidence to support their decision.   Conclusion: It suggests that such actions are not solely motivated by the welfare of children or the support of families, but rather influenced by the existence of foster care systems established as business chains, leading to an increased demand for children to fill vacancies. The analysis reveals a disconnection between the social workers' actions and factual justifications, as they resort to the creation of narratives based on minute details of family life.   Keywords: Child removal, Child protection, Social workers, Foster care, Psychological impact
