Abstract

Sudden cardiac arrest is a serious health threat in long-distance running that requires rapid treatment through Basic Life Assistance or BHD to increase the chances of safety of the victim. However, runners' knowledge of the procedure is often not optimal, so structured education is needed. This study aims to analyze the influence of BHD education on the level of knowledge of long-distance runners in the RIOT Gorontalo community. This research method uses a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study is Long Distance Runners in the RIOT Gorontalo Community, totaling 120 respondents. The sample was mixed with the purposive sampling technique totaling 55 respondents who were given interventions in the form of education using lecture methods and simulations measured through questionnaires. The data analysis of this study used the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results showed that before the intervention, the majority of respondents had sufficient category knowledge as much as 56.4%, but after being given education, there was a significant increase where 52.7% of respondents reached the good category. Statistical results showed a p-value of less than 0.001 (<0.05) which proved the very significant influence of BHD education on improving runners' knowledge. These findings are expected to be the foundation for the running sports community in developing routine safety training programs to improve the preparedness of community members in dealing with cardiac emergencies on the running track.

Abstract

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life that is often accompanied by physical and psychological changes, one of which is anxiety. Anxiety that is not managed properly can negatively impact the quality of life of menopausal women. One non-pharmacological effort that can be done to reduce anxiety is positive affirmation therapy. This study aims to determine the effect of positive affirmation therapy on maternal anxiety levels in facing menopause in the South Kota Community Health Center area. This study used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design through a pretest–posttest control group design approach. The study population amounted to 83 people with a sample of 36 respondents consisting of 18 respondents in the intervention group and 18 respondents in the control group, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test to determine the effect of anxiety levels before and after the administration of positive affirmation therapy. The results showed a significant decrease in anxiety levels in the intervention group after being given positive affirmation therapy compared to the control group. The statistical test results showed a p-value <0.05, indicating that positive affirmation therapy significantly reduced maternal anxiety levels during menopause. The study concluded that positive affirmation therapy significantly reduced anxiety levels in menopausal mothers. This therapy is recommended as a simple, safe, and effective non-pharmacological intervention to help mothers cope with menopause.
