Abstract

Hypertension in pregnancy has a significant impact on maternal and fetal health. It can lead to complications such as placental abruption, organ failure, intravenous coagulation, preeclampsia, preeclampsia to become eclampsia, risk of intrauterine development, premature birth and intrauterine death. The treatment of gestational hypertension may be either pharmacological or non-pharmacological in nature. Non-pharmacological therapy for the treatment of hypertension in pregnancy may employ the use of ginger and temulawak. This study was conducted at BPM Suryani. The population comprised all pregnant women at BPM Suryani, numbering 154. The sample consisted of pregnant women with gestational hypertension, numbering 34. The recommended dose of dried temulawak and ginger is 25 grams, boiled in 200 ml of water until 100 ml of boiled water is obtained. The boiling time is 2-5 minutes. The temulawak and ginger are administered once a day for one week. At the outset of the study, the blood pressure of pregnant women with gestational hypertension was ascertained. Following the administration of temulawak and ginger, the respondents were again subjected to monitoring of their blood pressure. The data were analysed using a statistical test, namely the t-test, which is a paired sample t-test. A significant relationship was observed between systolic and diastolic blood pressure values before and after the administration of temulawak and ginger (p-value <0.05). The average difference in systolic blood pressure before and after the intervention was 5.82 mmHg with a p-value on systolic blood pressure of The p-value was 0.000 (p-value <0.05) for systolic blood pressure and 0.026 (p-value <0.05) for diastolic blood pressure. These findings suggest that the content of temulawak and ginger can be used in reducing blood pressure in pregnant women with gestational hypertension.

Abstract

The postpartum period is a fairly important period for health workers to always monitor because less than optimal implementation can cause the mother to experience various problems, and can even lead to postpartum complications. Among the causes of maternal death, infection is the second most common cause of death after bleeding. The type of research used was descriptive, namely, to determine the mother's knowledge about postpartum visits. The sampling technique used in this study was total sampling. The total population is a sampling technique in which the total number of samples is the same as the population (Sugiyono 2010). Thus, the sample in this study was the entire population of postpartum mothers-form January to August 2024 in the Gunung Tua Health Center work area, totaling 34 people. Based on the data analysis conducted, it is known that the majority of respondents' knowledge is in the lowers category, (38.2%). This is understandable, considering that the majority of respondents' education was in the basic education category, (44.1%). Education is a formal and non-formal activity in an effort to develop a person's mindset, personality, and abilities, both inside and outside of school, as well as life experiences that last a lifetime. The majority of the respondents' knowledge was in the sufficient category, (17.6%). This is understandable, considering the majority of respondents' ages in the 21-35 year category, namely (47.0%). Most respondents' knowledge was in the insufficient category, (20.6%). This is understandable, considering that the majority of respondents' jobs were in the unemployed/housewife category, (44.1%). Every health worker, especially midwives, should be able to provide counseling to mothers regarding the importance of visits during the postpartum period.

Abstract

Background: Wasting is a condition characterized by low body weight in relation to height or length. This condition is often caused by infections and inadequate nutritional intake in children. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of Supplementary Feeding (SF) based on local food on the weight change of wasting toddlers. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental research design using a pre-test and post-test framework over a period of 14 days. The sample consisted of 13 toddlers with wasting nutritional status who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis was performed using dependent t-test. Results: The findings showed that most respondents were male (76.9%) and aged between 1-3 years. The average weight before the provision of local food-based SF was 9.2 kg, and after the provision, it increased to 9.4 kg. The weight change difference before and after the SF was 0.2 kg, with the dependent t-test showing a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: There is a significant effect of Supplementary Feeding based on local food on the weight change of toddlers with wasting status at Puskesmas Pangkalan Baru, Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province.

Abstract

Stunting is the inadequate intake of nutrients from the womb in children until the age of five, which is characterized by stunted height. As a result of these chronic malnutrition conditions, it can systemically inhibit the development of children in the first two years of life so that children become stunted.  This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design conducted at the Sicanang Medan Health Center. For respondent collection, the sampling procedure was carried out using the total sampling technique on stunting data from the Sicanang Medan Health Center. Analysis was carried out with descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression analysis test. The analysis was carried out to find the most influential risk factors for the incidence of stunting cases at the Sicanang Health Center.  The results of multivariate analysis by considering confounding factors showed that the most influential factors on the incidence of stunting were mothers who married too young (aOR = 0.64; 95% CI = 0.21-1.49; p-value = 0.046) and child spacing below 2 years young (aOR = 1.53; 95% CI = 0.22-2.83; p-value = 0.023).

Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a non-communicable disease (NCD) that is a global problem with high incidence, especially in developing countries. COPD is described as a respiratory disease with restricted airflow due to alveolar obstruction or lameness. This study aims to analyze the relationship between body mass index and the degree of COPD. The design of this study was cross-sectional. A total of 67 respondents were taken using the sample size formula. COPD patients at Pirngadi Hospital Medan, totaling 67 people, were taken as respondents in this study. Data collection was carried out using secondary data, namely medical records. The results of the research data were analyzed using the Spearman Test. The results showed that the degree of severe COPD was 25 respondents (37.3%). All respondents had a body mass index classified as underweight, namely 28 respondents (41.8). The correlation test of body mass index with COPD found a significant correlation between BMI and COPD degree -0.789 (p<0.05). Suggestions for further researchers could include other variables that may affect COPD, such as the effect of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies on the degree of COPD
