Abstract

Introduction:Hypertension sufferers with hypercholestrolemia can cause complications from stroke, heart disease and even death. There is a need for a therapeutic approach that can be used by sufferers as an alternative treatment. Objectives:The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of integrating cupping therapy with massage in controlling LDL levels in hypertension sufferers with hypercholetrolemia. Methods:This research is quantitative research with an experimental approach with a pre-post design with control group. The implementation of this research consists of several stages, namely the first stage, namely determining the number of research samples using the Lameshow formula and based on this formula, a sample number of 68 people was obtained which was divided into 2 groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. Results:in group inintervention, there was a difference in the mean at the pretest from 165.76 to 109.03 at the posttest. And the lowest reduction in cholesterol levels was 49,842 and the highest was 63,629. The results of the Paired t test showed a Phi value of 0.0001 < 0.05, which means that the integration of Cupping Therapy with Massage was able to reduce LDL levels in the Intervention Group. Meanwhile, in the Control group, the mean Pretest value was 159.59 and Posttest 158.32. The results of the paired t test showed that the Phi value was 0.107 > 0.05, which means there was no change in Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels in the control group.

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.

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

Background : Anemia is a condition in which there is a reduced number of red blood cells or a lower concentration of hemoglobin within them. Injectable contraception is the most widely utilized hormonal option. Research clearly indicates that heavy or prolonged menstruation serves as a major trigger for iron deficiency anemia in women of childbearing age. The 1-month and 3-month injectable contraceptives contain hormones that notably affect menstrual patterns. This study aims to analyze the differences in the incidence of anemia between users of the 1-month and 3-month injectable contraceptives. Method : This research method is observational analytic design with a comparative approach. The number of sample is 62 injectable contraceptive users, selected through consecutive sampling techniques. Hemoglobin levels were carefully examined as the measurement instrument. Data analysis was conducted using the Independent sample t-test and Chi-Square. Results : The results clearly demonstrate that among users of the 1-month injectable contraceptive, the majority exhibited regular menstrual patterns (40.3%). In contrast, most users of the 3-month injectable method experienced secondary amenorrhea (43.5%). Additionally, a significant proportion of respondents were found to be non-anemic (64.5%). The Independent sample t-test revealed a p-value of 0.025 (p < 0.05). The chi-square test presented a p-value of 0.598 (>0.05). Conclusion : There is a difference in hemoglobin levels in acceptors of 1-month and 3-month injectable contraceptives. There is no difference in the incidence of anemia in acceptors of 1-month and 3-month injectable contraceptives.

Abstract

Hypertension during pregnancy is a significant health issue and one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among pregnant women worldwide, with higher prevalence in regions of high sodium intake. In Indonesia, hypertension during pregnancy poses serious challenges, especially in coastal areas where salted fish is a common dietary staple. Salted fish, preserved through processes that increase sodium levels, can raise blood pressure when consumed excessively, elevating the risk of hypertension in pregnant women. This study examines the relationship between salted fish consumption habits and the incidence of hypertension during pregnancy in coastal regions of Tuban. The research employed an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 99 pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) visits at several coastal community health centers, using consecutive sampling conducted from July 29 to August 16, 2024. Information was gathered through questionnaires and medical records. The independent variable in this study was the habit of consuming salted fish, while the dependent variable was the incidence of hypertension during pregnancy. Data were analyzed using Fisher's Exact test with a significance level of α=0.05. The results showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant relationship between salted fish consumption and hypertension in pregnancy. The findings demonstrate that more frequent consumption of salted fish correlates with a higher risk of developing hypertension during pregnancy. These results highlight the need for dietary management, particularly in coastal communities, to reduce sodium intake and lower the risk of hypertension, ultimately improving maternal health outcomes.
