Abstract

Background: Hypertension is the number one cause of death in the world every year because it causes complex cardiovascular problems. Semarang City Department's 2023 health profile data shows the number of hypertension is 24,949. Practicing holding a handgrip is a non-pharmacological therapy for treating hypertension because it stabilizes blood pressure and heart rate. Many combination therapies are used, including combining handgrip exercises with sound waves. Natural sounds will stimulate the hypothalamus, resulting in a feeling of calm and have an effect on the blood pressure regulation mechanism. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds on the blood pressure of clients with hypertension. This research method is a pre-experimental one group pre and post test design and sampling using purposive sampling technique. The population of this study were clients who were recorded as suffering from hypertension at the Sekaran Semarang Community Health Center. The research instrument uses a digital spygmomanometer and SOP for action. The research stages consist of preparation, implementation and processing of research data. The steps in the preparation stage are literature study, field survey, discussions with lecturers and experts, developing procedures for the combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds, expert review, and socialization of the combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds to clients and families. The implementation stage is carried out by collecting data on clients registered at the Sekaran Semarang Community Health Center, pre and post tests by measuring blood pressure using a spygmomanometer, implementing actions according to the prepared SOP, observing implementation using an observation sheet. In the data processing stage, a Paired Sample T-test was carried out to assess the effect of the combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds on the blood pressure of clients with hypertension. The targeted output is publication in national journals indexed by Sinta and HAKI. The TKT target for this combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds is level 2. The research results showed that 91.67% of respondents experienced an average reduction in systolic blood pressure of 10.69 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 6.11 mmHg. Based on the Paired Sample T-test, the results obtained were 0.000 for the systolic value and 0.001 for the diastolic value, both of which were smaller than the p value of 0.05, so it was concluded that there was an influence of the combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds on the blood pressure of clients with hypertension. The results of this research can be input for related parties to implement a combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds as non-pharmacological therapy for hypertension sufferers.

Abstract

Children are an invaluable national asset. Children are part of the young population who need to be cared for, so that they can grow and develop optimally according to their potential. Motor development is an element of maturity in controlling body movements and the brain as the center of movement. Children's motor development can be assessed using the KPSP (Pre-Developmental Screening Questionnaire) which is an early detection instrument in the development of children aged 0 to 6 years. Gross motor skills are physical movements that require balance and coordination between body parts using the large muscles of some or all of the body parts. Gross motor development needs to be stimulated so that children can develop optimally. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of Brain Gym therapy on the gross motor development of preschool children. The design of this research is to use a Quasy experiment with a one group pre test-post test design. pre – post test. The total sample was 16 respondents with a purposive sampling model. The results of this research show that there is an effect of Brain Gym therapy on increasing gross motor development in preschool children with a p value of 0.001. The conclusion of this research is that there is an increase in gross motor development after implementing Brain Gym therapy in preschool children. Parents are advised to carry out this brain gym therapy at home to further optimize their child's development, especially gross motor development.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the physiological impact of academic stress, particularly examination stress, on biochemical indices among college students at the University of Tikrit. A total of 60 healthy students (30 in an experimental group and 30 in a control group) aged 19-21 years participated in this cross-sectional study. Salivary samples were collected during pre-examination and post-examination periods to measure levels of cortisol, malondialdehyde (MDA), glucose, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). The results indicated significant increases in cortisol, MDA, and glucose levels in the pre-examination period compared to the post-examination period, suggesting heightened stress responses. Conversely, TAC levels were significantly higher in the post-examination period, indicating a potential recovery or response to oxidative stress. The findings support the hypothesis that academic examinations can induce significant physiological stress in students, reflected by changes in salivary biochemical markers. These stress responses may influence overall student health and academic performance, suggesting the need for strategies to manage stress among students during examinations.

Abstract

The development of digital radiology technology improves the quality of medical services, but challenges in image distribution and interpretation encourage the use of teleradiology. The development of web-based teleradiology applications is a cost-effective solution with the ability to integrate patient data and DICOM image display to improve the efficiency of radiology interpretation. This has the potential to improve the quality of radiology services by accelerating the diagnostic process and reducing the physical accessibility limitations of radiologists.This study aims to develop a web-based application as a solution to radiographic image delivery and PACS weaknesses, and test its effectiveness in improving the quality of radiology services. The research method used is the research and development (R&D) method, which aims to produce and test new products. The results of this study show that the development of a web-based teleradiology application provides an appropriate solution to the constraints of the reader's presence at the image capture site, while maintaining image quality according to DICOM standards. The application allows easy use of various devices, data exchange between medical professionals, and secure data storage. In Addition, it reduces the waiting time in the delivery and reading of radiographic images by radiologists. Compared to older methods, such as delivery via email or Whatsapp, this web application shows improved quality and accuracy of radiographic image reading.
