Abstract

ntroduction: Hypertension is a high blood pressure condition often referred to as the "silent killer" as it is frequently asymptomatic but can lead to a range of serious health complications, including heart disease and stroke. The prevalence of hypertension continues to rise worldwide, with projections of reaching 29% of the adult population by 2025. To control hypertension, complementary therapies such as acupressure are emerging as a supportive complement to the management of high blood pressure, especially for the elderly, to improve their quality of life and ease the burden on the healthcare system. Objectives: to analyze the effect of acupressure therapy on blood pressure in hypertensive elderly. Methods: Pre-Experimental Design, with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Results: The results showed a decrease in average systolic blood pressure by 24.08 mmHg, from 148.08 mmHg in the pre-test to 124.00 mmHg in the post-test, with a p value of 0.002. In addition, there was a decrease in mean diastolic blood pressure by 11.83 mmHg, from 85.83 mmHg in the pre-test to 74.00 mmHg in the post-test, with a value of (p value 0.013). These results indicate that acupressure therapy has a significant effect on reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure in elderly hypertension. Conclusions: These findings support using acupressure as a complementary therapy to assist in managing hypertension in the elderly, potentially improving their quality of life and reducing the burden of hypertension-related health services.

Abstract

Introduction: Dementia is a condition characterized by cognitive decline, which significantly impacts daily activities and social relationships. Memory loss is one of the earliest signs of dementia, and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to its onset. Brain exercises, such as those that activate both brain hemispheres, can help stimulate cognitive functions and improve brain activity. The Scrabble board game has been identified as an effective tool to enhance cognitive abilities, slow the progression of dementia, and provide mental stimulation. Objective:This study aims to assess the effectiveness of brain exercise activities and the Scrabble board game as therapeutic interventions for elderly individuals experiencing memory impairment in the Tegal Selatan Public Health Center area. Method: A case study approach was applied, focusing on two clients with memory impairment. Over one week, nursing care was provided, with data collected through interviews, direct observations, and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Results:The integration of brain gym exercises and Scrabble board game therapy resulted in noticeable improvements in memory and cognitive function in both clients. After seven days of therapy, the first client's MMSE score increased from 16 (indicating moderate cognitive impairment) to 21, while the second client's score rose from 18 to 25, indicating no cognitive impairment. Conclusion:The combination of brain exercises and Scrabble therapy has proven beneficial in enhancing cognitive functions, particularly memory, in elderly individuals with dementia-related memory issues.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a disorder during menstruation, and it can have an effect that can interfere with daily activities. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in the world is still very high, 1.8-1069,425 (90%). In Indonesia, it was recorded at 64.25%, in East Java at 71.3%, while based on the results of a preliminary study in XI-grade of SMA Ibrahimy 2 of Sukorejo there was 80% of adolescents experienced dysmenorrhea. To determine whether avocado and chocolate juice reduce dysmenorrhea in XI-grade adolescents of SMA Ibrahimy 2 of Sukorejo. This study applied a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design and control. Samples were taken using purposive sampling, involving 60 participants (30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group). Data were analyzed through univariate and bivariate analysis. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in the intervention and control groups generally showed moderate pain, with 38 cases (63.3%). The Chi-Square test revealed no significant correlation between the three categorical variables with dysmenorrhea because the p-value > 0.05. However, for the age of menarche, the p-value of 0.016 < 0.05 indicated a correlation with the level of dysmenorrhea pain. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed that both groups experienced significant changes, but the changes in the control group were more significant than the intervention group. The Mann-Whitney test with a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05 rejected H0 and accepted Ha, which means that the administration of avocado and chocolate juice significantly affects primary dysmenorrhea. The administration of a combination of avocado and chocolate juice significantly reduces primary dysmenorrhea in XI-grade adolescents at SMA Ibrahimy 2 of Sukorejo.

Abstract

Introduction: Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining caused by Helicobacter pylori and can be acute or chronic. This bacteria colonizes the stomach of more than 50% of humans and causes disease. Gastritis still has a high prevalence and if left untreated can lead to serious complications, such as gastric ulcers, bleeding, and even gastric cancer. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with gastritis in patients visiting Royal Prima Medan Hospital. Methods:This study was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted on 132 patients who visited Royal Prima Hospital with gastritis complaints. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate (chi-square and Fisher), and multivariate analysis (logistic regression). Results: This study reported a prevalence of gastritis of 64.9%. Associated risk factors were smoking status (OR=2.20, 95% CI, 1.18-4.09); p=0.014), coffee drinking (OR=8.26 95% CI, 3.92-17.37; p<0.001), diet (OR=12.44, 95% CI, 5.75-26.87; p<0.001). Conclusions: Coffee drinking and diet are determinant factors of gastritis. Educating patients at risk of gastritis by reducing coffee consumption, quitting smoking, improving diet and other factors that can increase gastritis complications are efforts that must be made in preventing the increase in gastritis disease.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis is a disease that attacks the lungs and several other organs caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis remains a global health issue in developing countries, including Indonesia. Anti-tuberculosis drugs are the most important part of pulmonary TB treatment, but these medications often cause side effects. If not controlled, they can cause discomfort and worsen the patient's condition. Acupressure and the administration of ginger and lemon extract serve as non-pharmacotherapy complements to help reduce the side effects of anti-tuberculosis drugs. Methods: This study is quasi-experimental with a two-group pretest-posttest approach involving 30 participants. Acupressure was administered for 7 minutes per day, while a mixture of ginger and lemon extract was given at 8 grams per day. The intervention was provided for four weeks. Body weight was measured using a digital scale, nausea and vomiting were measured using the Rhodes index of nausea, vomiting, and retching, and joint pain was measured using the numeric pain scale. Results: nausea and vomiting with a p-value of 0.00 before and after the treatment. The post-treatment difference test between the two groups did not show significant differences (> 0.05) with a low difference. Conclusions: The administration of acupressure and ginger and lemon extract can help reduce the side effects of tuberculosis treatment

Abstract

Hepatitis is an inflammatory disease of the liver caused by toxins or poisons originating from chemicals, drugs, or infectious agents such as viruses. Hepatitis can be suffered by all groups, from children to adults. Previous research has proven that hepatitis C infection also contributes to the development of metabolic disorders which play an important role as risk factors for cardiovascular disease and hypertension. The aim of this research is to determine the factors that cause cardiovascular disorders in adult hepatitis B and C sufferers. This research is a type of descriptive research with a cross sectional design. The research respondents were 36 people (aged 20-60 years) using simple random sampling technique. The research results showed that the majority of respondents were 51-60 years old (44.5%), had at least elementary school education (52.8%), male gender (55.6%) and hepatitis B type (86.1%). The results of the analysis of factors causing cardiovascular disorders in hepatitis B and C sufferers were lifestyle, history of DM and high cholesterol with P<0.05. In further research, efforts can be made to increase knowledge of hepatitis B and C sufferers so that cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, CAD and even heart failure do not occur
