Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. High blood pressure (BP) is a non-communicable disease that is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Non-pharmacological treatments, such as slow breathing exercise (SBT), have been shown to lower blood pressure. the purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of slow breathing exercise on lowering blood pressure in elderly hypertension.Method: This research is an experimental study with the research design used is one group pre-test and post-test with control group. The population in this study were all elderly people who lived in UPT PSTW Banyuwangi with a research sample of elderly people suffering from hypertension. Sampling using purposive sampling method and obtained 36 respondents. Respondents were divided into 2 groups, which were the treatment group with slow breathing exercise intervention and the control group without any intervention. blood pressure was measured before and after treatment using an aneroid tensimeter. the data was collected then processed and analyzed using SPSS with the test used, namely the Wilcoxon test.Results: Based on the results of statistical tests using the Wilcoxon test, a significance value of p <0.05 was obtained, which means that slow breathing exercise has an effect on lowering blood pressure in hypertensive elderly people. the application of slow breathing exercise is also more effective than in the control group, characterized by a difference in the mean pre-test and post-test values of 8.88 mmHg.Conclusion: slow breathing exercise has an effect on lowering blood pressure in hypertensive elderly people so that this can be used as a non-pharmacological therapy as an effort to control or lower blood pressure in hypertensive elderly people and its application is very easy to do.

Abstract

Background: The use of  sunscreen is important in the efforts to protect the skin from the dangers of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Sunscreen contains protective components measured  by sun protection factor (SPF) and UVA protection. The perception of sunscreen use is essential  for maintaining skin  health, especially among medical students who have more excellent knowledge about the harmful effects of UV radiation. Continuous exposure to UV radiation can lead to skin damage, such as sunburn, darkening, the appearance of spots on the face, dullness, premature aging, and even melanoma. This research aimed to provide evaluation, insight, and confidence regarding the importance of sunscreen use. By understanding this perception, it is hoped that we can identify shortcomings in education and develop interventions to promote sunscreen use practices in the broader community.Methods: The research employed a descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted using total sampling techniques with questionnaires distributed to 184 medical students at Ciputra University aged 17 to 25 years.Results: Descriptive tests were performed.Conclusion: Both students who use sunscreen and those who do not express that using sunscreen is important.

Abstract

Background: The aging process is a natural process of life that occurs from the beginning of a person's life, with several phases, namely childhood, adulthood, and old age. The elderly can experience various changes including physical, psychosocial, and spiritual changes. One of the physiological changes that occurs in the elderly is a decrease in urethral muscle tension due to a decrease in the hormone estrogen which causes urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence is the involuntary discharge of urine (unconscious or bedwetting) at an inappropriate time and place outside of desire. This study aimed to analyze the effect of Kegel exercises on urinary incontinence in the elderly.Methods: The research design used was pre-experimental with a one group pre-test post-test design. The population of this study was all elderly people who experienced urinary incontinence at the UPT Panti Sosial Tresna Werdha Glenmore, this study was conducted on 34 elderly people. The sampling technique in this study used Nonprobability Sampling, namely using Saturated Sampling (total sampling). Data collection used a questionnaire sheet. The data obtained were then coded, scored, tabulated, and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with a significant value of 0.05.Results: The results of this study show the results of p-value (0.000) ≤ α (0.05) which means that there is an effect of Kegel exercises on urinary incontinence in the elderly at UPT Panti Sosial Tresna Wherda Glenmore.Conclusion: Based on these results, it can be concluded that Kegel exercises can increase the strength of the pelvic floor muscles in urinary incontinence conditions. So it can be used as a non-pharmacological therapy for the elderly who experience urinary incontinence at UPT Panti Sosial Tresna Wherda Glenmore
