Abstract

Hypertension is one of the global health problems whose prevalence continues to increase, including in adolescents. Lack of knowledge about the risk factors, prevention, and impact of hypertension can exacerbate long-term health risks. This study aims to analyze the effect of Health Belief Model (HBM) implementation on increasing the knowledge of at-risk adolescents about hypertension prevention. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a One Group Pre-Test and Post-Test approach. The research sample was 40 at-risk adolescents in Bojong Sawah Village, who were selected using convenience sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Paired Sample T-Test test. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the level of knowledge of adolescents after the implementation of HBM (mean pre-test: 17.00; post-test: 24.00). The statistical test showed a p value = 0.000 (<0.05), which indicated that the implementation of HBM had a significant effect on increasing respondents' knowledge. In conclusion, the implementation of HBM is effective in increasing adolescents' knowledge about hypertension prevention. This study recommends the application of HBM in health education programs to address hypertension, especially in the adolescent age group.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that requires prolonged treatment therapy to reduce the incidence of complications. The purpose of this study is to determine the data that can increase a person's risk of developing diabetes mellitus, such as age, weight, family history, lifestyle, and diet and to determine whether high blood sugar levels contribute to an increased risk of blood pressure in type II diabetes mellitus patients. The method used is correlation with a cross sectional approach emphasizing the time of measurement or observation of data on the independent variable and the dependent variable only once, at a time. The population in this study is the number of patients who have a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Ciracap Health Center working area of 94 people. This study will use 55 respondents, using the slovin formula. The sampling technique used in this study was non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling approach. The results showed that the P Value obtained from the Chi Square test for asymp sig. (2-sided) is 0.002. This value shows the result of p <0.05 and means that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. So it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between blood sugar levels and blood pressure in patients with diabetes mellitus II in the Ciracap working area.

Abstract

Introduction: Menopause is a phase in which women experience the cessation of menstrual cycles during the climacteric period. At around 45 years of age, there is a decrease in ovarian function which causes the production of the hormone estrogen to decrease. According to (WHO) for 2025, the number of women experiencing menopause in the Asian region is expected to increase significantly, from 107 million to 373 million. Meanwhile, (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia) estimates that in 2020, the population of Indonesia will reach around 262.6 million, with around 30.3 million women in the menopause phase. Their average age when experiencing menopause is 49 years. Objectives: To determine the relationship between knowledge and readiness to face menopause in perimenopausal women in Sumberrejo Village, Banyuputih District.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of consuming bitter melon juice on blood pressure in hypertensive patients in Jagamukti Village, Surade Health Center's working area. Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence that requires serious attention. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 15 respondents selected using cluster sampling. Data were analyzed using parametric statistical tests with a T-test. The results showed that the average systolic blood pressure before the intervention was 151 mmHg, while after the intervention, it decreased to 145 mmHg. Statistically, there was a significant difference with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating that bitter melon juice is effective in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Most respondents were female (60%) aged 46–55 years (66.7%), and the majority worked as housewives (60%). Bitter melon, rich in potassium and possessing diuretic effects, effectively lowers sodium levels in the blood, helping to reduce blood pressure. This study reinforces the potential of bitter melon as a safe and natural non-pharmacological intervention for hypertension. These findings are expected to encourage the use of herbal plants in the management of hypertension.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between family support and self-care management in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis at Sekarwangi Regional Public Hospital. A correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach was employed, involving 109 respondents. Data on family support were collected using the Perceived Social Support-Family (PSS-Fa) questionnaire, while self-care management was assessed using a self-care management scale. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed to analyze the data. The results indicated that 78.9% of respondents received good family support, and 91.7% demonstrated good self-care management. Statistical analysis using Fisher’s Exact Test showed a significant relationship between family support and self-care management (p = 0.019). Patients with good family support were more likely to have better self-care management (95.3%) compared to those with insufficient family support (21.7%). This study highlights the critical role of family support in enhancing patient confidence and adherence to self-care practices, which contributes to better management of CKD and improved quality of life. The findings suggest that strengthening family involvement in care could significantly improve the self-care management of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Further interventions to enhance patient education and family support are recommended to optimize health outcomes for CKD patients.

Abstract

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is an RNA class retrovirus that specifically attacks the human immune system. A decrease in the immune system in HIV-infected people facilitates various infections, which can lead to the onset of AIDS. AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a set of clinical symptoms and signs in people with HIV due to opportunistic infections due to a decrease in the immune system. Opportunistic infections can be caused by various viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites, and can attack various organs, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract / intestines, lungs, and brain. Infection of infants or children by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is mostly transmitted vertically from mother to baby during pregnancy, childbirth, and through breast milk. Horizontal transmission through transfusion of blood products or other transmission such as child sexual abuse occurs less frequently than vertical transmission. A newborn baby from a mother with HIV-AIDS, accompanied by signs of infection in the baby, the patient's mother was found to be reactive on the HIV test and a decrease in CD4. Physical examination results on system examination were good. The results of laboratory support examinations obtained an increase in CRP and hypoglycemia. The diagnosis of infant with mother HIV-AIDS (BIHA) and neonatal infection was established based on the history, physical examination results and supporting examinations of the mother and baby that had been carried out. The patient received main therapy by giving antiretroviral prophylaxis in the form of zidovudine 4mg/kg/time, 2 times a day until the baby is 6 weeks old and antibiotics according to the diagnosis.
