<![CDATA[Hypertension is one of the chronic diseases that requires long-term management because it can cause complications if not controlled. One of the important factors in blood pressure control is the patient's adherence to taking antihypertensive drugs regularly. Patients who are members of the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) are expected to have better blood pressure control through routine health monitoring and continuous education. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of compliance with hypertension medication and the blood pressure of Prolanis patients in the Working Area of the Tilango Health Center, Gorontalo Regency. This study is a quantitative research using a correlational analytical design with a cross sectional approach, involving 53 respondents who were taken using purposive sampling techniques. The results showed that the majority of respondents had medication adherence in the moderate category as many as 29 people (54.7%), while the majority of respondents' blood pressure was in the mild category as many as 27 people (50.9%). Based on the results of the Chi-Square test, a p value of < 0.05 was obtained, so it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the level of compliance with taking hypertension medication and the blood pressure of Prolanis patients in the Tilango Health Center Working Area, Gorontalo Regency, where the better the patient's level of adherence in taking medication, the more controlled the patient's blood pressure.]]>

<![CDATA[Babies with BBLR are unable to breastfeed directly from the bottle or breast after birth due to low muscle tone, immature oral motor control, and poor sucking, swallowing, and breathing coordination due to weak sucking reflexes. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of oral stimulation on the ability to suck BBLR babies in the NICU Room of Toto Kabila Hospital. The quantitative research method with a pre-experiment design is one group pre-test and post-test design, the population of this study is all BBLR babies, the research sample is 18 infants with accidental sampling techniques that meet the sample criteria, the research instrument uses EFS (Early Feeding Skill) observation sheets and oral stimulation SOPs, the data is analyzed with the Wilcoxon test. The results of the study were obtained before being given oral stimulation, the baby's ability to suck was completely devoid of 18 respondents (100%) with an average of 8.78 and after being given oral stimulation, the majority of babies' sucking ability had a suction reflex of 14 respondents (77.8%) and no suction reflex as many as 4 respondents (22.2%) with an average of 11.72, and p-value = 0.000 (? ? 0.05). It can be concluded that there is an effect of oral stimulation on the ability to suck BBLR babies in the NICU Room of Toto Kabila Hospital.

<![CDATA[Uncontrolled hypertension can cause various serious complications, one of which is chronic kidney failure (CKD). Hypertensive patients' knowledge of their disease plays an important role in the prevention behavior of complications such as chronic kidney failure. Good knowledge is characterized by an understanding of risk factors, the importance of blood pressure control, adherence to taking medications, as well as a healthy lifestyle such as a low-salt diet and regular exercise that can prevent complications, one of which is chronic kidney failure. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and chronic kidney failure prevention behavior in hypertensive patients at the Limboto Health Center. The method used is a quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. The research sample amounted to 95 patients who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire that measured the level of knowledge about hypertension and chronic kidney failure prevention behaviors. The data were analyzed univariate and bivariate using the spearman rank test with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that most of the respondents were at a good level of knowledge and the majority had good kidney failure prevention behaviors. Bivariate analysis showed that there was a weak level of relationship strength (0.333) between knowledge and GGK prevention behavior in hypertensive patients at the Limboto Health Center (p < 0.05) with the direction of positive relationship. In conclusion, the higher the knowledge, the better the behavior to prevent chronic kidney failure, even though the strength of the relationship is relatively weak. This suggests that knowledge plays a role in the formation of preventive behaviors, but is not the only factor that influences them.]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases with an increasing prevalence and is a public health problem because it is often asymptomatic but at risk of causing serious complications. One of the non-pharmacological efforts that plays an important role in controlling hypertension is the implementation of a low-salt diet. However, low patient knowledge about low-salt diets is still a major obstacle in the management of hypertension. This study aims to determine the effect of health education on the knowledge of low-salt diets in hypertensive patients at the Limboto Health Center. This study uses a quantitative design with a pre-experimental approach through one group pretest-posttest design. The study population is hypertension patients recorded in November 2025 with a sample of 44 respondents taken using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using a low-salt diet knowledge questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Health education is provided through counseling methods using leaflet and Power Point media. Data analysis was carried out using the Paired Sample T-Test to see differences in knowledge levels before and after health education. The results of the study showed that after being given health education, most hypertensive patients had a good level of low-salt diet knowledge but still found patients with sufficient and insufficient knowledge levels. These findings show that there is a knowledge gap in some patients regarding the implementation of a low-salt diet. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous health education by health workers to improve patient understanding in hypertension control.]]>

<![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease with high morbidity and mortality rates that can cause complications of diabetic neuropathy due to chronic hyperglycemia and low physical activity. Diabetic neuropathy causes complaints such as tingling, nausea, pain, and sensory disturbances that decrease quality of life, so non-pharmacological interventions are needed as a safe and effective alternative. Foot massage was chosen as one of the interventions because it is easy to do, low cost, can be applied by patients and families, and has been proven to be effective in reducing symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of Foot Massage on the symptoms of Diabetic Neuropathy in Diabetes Mellitus patients. This study is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test post-test with control group design involving 18 respondents in the experimental group and 18 respondents in the control group taken using purposive sampling techniques. The results of the study showed that after being given foot massage therapy, the experimental group experienced a decrease in symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, where 27.8% of respondents were in the category of mild symptoms, 66.7% of moderate symptoms, and only 5.6% still experienced severe symptoms. On the other hand, in the control group there was no meaningful change, with the majority of respondents (83.3%) remaining in the moderate symptom category. The results of the Independent t-test showed a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), which proved that foot massage therapy had a significant effect on reducing symptoms of diabetic neuropathy in patients with diabetes mellitus at the Kabila Health Center.]]>
