Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic condition that increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In addition to pharmacological treatment, non-pharmacological interventions such as hypertension exercise are important components of comprehensive hypertension management. This study aimed to analyze the effect of hypertension exercise on blood pressure reduction among individuals with hypertension. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 41 participants selected through random sampling. The intervention consisted of eight hypertension exercise sessions conducted over four weeks. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention and analyzed using the Paired t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 141.56 mmHg to 131.24 mmHg, while mean diastolic blood pressure decreased from 83.37 mmHg to 82.51 mmHg. Statistical analysis revealed a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (p < 0.05), whereas the reduction in diastolic blood pressure was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). It can be concluded that hypertension exercise is effective in reducing blood pressure, particularly systolic blood pressure, but has not shown a significant effect on diastolic blood pressure.

Abstract

Heart failure is a chronic disease requiring long-term management through improved disease understanding, self-management abilities, and digital technology support. While digital device utilization in heart failure care continues to expand, patients’ knowledge, perceived needs, and self-management abilities remain varied. This study aimed to describe the levels of knowledge, needs related to digital device use, and self-management among patients with heart failure. A descriptive quantitative design was applied with a sample of 48 heart failure patients selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included a knowledge questionnaire adapted from the Digital Health Literacy Instrument (DHLI), a digital device needs questionnaire based on the SKF-DK-HF, and a self-management questionnaire adapted from the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) version 7.2. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis with frequency distributions and percentages. The results showed that most respondents were aged 46–55 years (33.3%) and female (66.7%). The majority demonstrated good knowledge regarding digital device use (64.6%), moderate levels of digital device needs (58.3%), and more than half had adequate self-management ability (58.3%).These findings indicate that although most patients possess good knowledge and adequate self-management, optimizing digital device use and strengthening consistent self-care practices remain necessary.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is frequently accompanied by impaired sleep quality, which may worsen health conditions due to blood pressure fluctuations and increase the risk of complications. Sleep disturbances in patients with hypertension negatively affect quality of life and delay the recovery process. One non-pharmacological approach that may improve sleep quality is music relaxation therapy. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of music relaxation therapy in improving sleep quality among patients with hypertension. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted. The study included 47 patients with hypertension selected using a purposive sampling technique. Sleep quality was assessed before and after the intervention using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in sleep quality following the music relaxation therapy intervention, as indicated by reduced complaints of difficulty sleeping, decreased frequency of nocturnal awakenings, and increased sleep comfort. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000; p < 0.05), indicating that music relaxation therapy significantly improved sleep quality among patients with hypertension. These findings suggest that music relaxation therapy is a safe, practical, and effective non-pharmacological nursing intervention for improving sleep quality in patients with hypertension, particularly in primary healthcare settings.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a leading cause of worldwide female morbidity and mortality, making early detection through Breast Self-Examination (BSE) crucial for adolescents despite their limited awareness. This quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design evaluated the effectiveness of interactive multimedia animation video education in improving BSE knowledge among adolescent girls. Seventy participants aged 16–20 were divided into an intervention group (animated video) and a control group (standard leaflet). Knowledge was measured via a validated questionnaire ($\alpha = 0.772$) and analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney U tests ($p < 0.05$). Results showed a significant knowledge increase in the intervention group from 5.0±1.36 to 9.28±0.85 ($p < 0.001$), while the control group showed no significant improvement ($p = 0.065$). The difference between groups was highly significant ($p < 0.001$). In conclusion, interactive multimedia animation video education is more effective than conventional leaflets, offering a practical strategy to enhance adolescent reproductive health literacy.
