Abstract

The elderly are residents who have reached the age of 60 years or more. One of the diseases experienced by the elderly is hypertension. Hypertension is an increase in systolic blood pressure of at least 140 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure of at least 90 mmHg. The management of hypertension is by pharmacology and non-pharmacology. One of non-pharmacological treatment by implementing the CERDIK program includes a diligent physical activity and a balanced diet. Antihypertensive exercise is an exercise that can increase the blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscle. The combination of drinking watermelon juice is done to prevent and reduce the hypertension. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of antihypertensive exercise and watermelon juice on blood pressure in the elderly. This research used a quasi-experiment type of research with a pre-test – post-test approach with two group design. The samples of this study were 36 elderly with hypertension. The sampling technique used random sampling with a cluster sampling approach. The research instruments used modules and observations. The research was conducted from the 5th to the 19th of July 2024 at the elderly Posyandu in Labruk Lor Village, Lumajang District. Based on the results of the study, the average pre-test blood pressure value of the control and the experimental groups were almost entirely had hypertension. The research results showed that the average post-test blood pressure value of the control and intervention groups experienced a significant decrease. The results of the independent t test of the differences in blood pressure in the control and the experimental groups after being given antihypertensive exercise therapy and watermelon juice is by P value of 0.003 it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in elderly blood pressure between the control and experimental groups after being given therapy. The results of this study are expected to increase nurses’ knowledge about the effects of exercise and diet in the management of hypertension in order to provide effective education to patients.

Abstract

The incidence of work accidents in agricultural areas is quite a lot such as pesticide exposure incidents, exposure to sharp agricultural machinery or equipment, animals and plants that can injure, and positions that are not ergonomic so that it requires immediate handling. This study aims to analyze farmers' knowledge about handling and preventing emergencies in agricultural areas. This study uses the literature review method using 3 databases, namely Google Scholar, Science Direct and PubMed by considering the publication time span for the last five years, from 2020 to 2024.  We used 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria in the review. It was found that some farmers have knowledge about the attitude and ability to handle emergencies. Some farmers have good knowledge, but their attitudes and knowledge related to handling emergencies are still quite low. Low knowledge and attitude towards handling emergencies can lead to undesirable outcomes such as death or long-lasting physical disability. Farmers' knowledge is also important to reduce the risk of work accidents in agricultural areas. Factors that cause a lack of knowledge and attitudes related to handling emergencies are the lack of awareness of farmers and the attitude of farmers who are too indifferent to work accidents, as well as the lack of education and training related to handling or first aid related to work accidents. For this reason, support from the government and health workers is needed to provide education and training to improve farmers' knowledge.

Abstract

The incidence of short toddlers or commonly referred to as stunting is one of the nutritional problems experienced by toddlers in the world today, including Indonesia. Indonesia is a developing country with a stunting prevalence in 2022 of 21.6 percent. This figure is lower than the 2021 figure of 24.4 percent. The incidence of stunting in developing countries can be influenced by various risk factors. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for stunting in toddlers aged 12-59 months. The study was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The results obtained from the analysis of 8 journals show that there are several risk factors that have an important role in the prevalence of stunting in toddlers. Among them are breastfeeding history, maternal nutritional status, parental education, parental height, parental education, ANC visits, parental income, energy adequacy, fat and protein intake and the level of knowledge of mothers, especially about nutrition. However, there are several risk factors that do not have a significant relationship with the incidence of stunting in toddlers including dietary restrictions, consumption of Fe tablets in mothers, history of comorbidities, clean water sanitation, smoking environment, and economic conditions. Stunting is not only related to children's height below the standard.

Abstract

Acute pain frequently affects post-cesarean section patients and, if left unmanaged, can slow recovery and potentially lead to chronic pain. Non-pharmacological methods like Deep Breathing Relaxation combined with Murottal Al-Quran therapy offer a promising solution to alleviate this pain. This case study examines the effectiveness of these techniques in reducing acute pain post-cesarean section in the Teratai Ward of Dr. Haryoto Regional General Hospital, Lumajang. Therapy involves daily 20-minute sessions of QS Ar-Rahman (78 verses) recited by Qori' Ahmad Saud via MP3. The participant was a patient meeting specific criterion: hospitalized for at least 3 days, with moderate pain levels (NRS score), exhibiting signs such as pain complaints, grimacing, protective behaviors, sleep difficulties, of Islamic faith, and with no hearing impairments. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Results showed a notable reduction in pain over the 3-day intervention, with the NRS score decreasing from 7 (moderate) to 4 (mild), accompanied by reduced grimacing, less protective behavior, and improved sleep quality. This study suggests that combining deep breathing relaxation and Murottal Al-Quran offers significant pain relief for post-cesarean patients. It is practical and cost-effective, allowing it to be easily implemented by nursing staff starting from the first-day post-surgery. These findings highlight a feasible approach for pain management in post-cesarean care, providing an effective and accessible option that aligns with the needs of Islamic patients, ultimately enhancing their comfort and recovery process.

Abstract

Academic stress is a significant issue university students face, often arising from academic pressures such as deadlines, exams, and high expectations. These pressures disrupt mental and physical balance, leading to issues like insomnia, which can negatively impact students' health and academic performance. This study examines the relationship between academic stress levels and insomnia among university students, seeking to provide insights and practical recommendations for managing stress and improving sleep quality. A comprehensive review of 15 studies was conducted to analyze the connection between academic stress and insomnia. The research focused on various contributing factors, including academic workloads, social support, and environmental influences such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings indicate a significant relationship between academic stress and insomnia. Heavy academic workloads, tight exam schedules, and high faculty and parent expectations contributed significantly. Additionally, factors such as depression, anxiety, poor sleep hygiene, excessive digital device use, and unsupportive family dynamics were found to exacerbate sleep disturbances. The COVID-19 pandemic further intensified academic stress, leading to worsened sleep quality. While some studies found no direct correlation, they suggested that coping mechanisms, social support, and sleep habits might mitigate the impact of stress on sleep. Academic stress contributes significantly to insomnia among university students, affecting their quality of life and academic performance. Key triggers include heavy workloads, exams, and high expectations, worsened by poor sleep habits and technology dependence. The COVID-19 pandemic has further intensified these issues. Interventions in stress management, sleep habits, and mental health support are essential, with further research needed to explore the role of social support in reducing insomnia.

Abstract

Patients undergoing emergency hemodialysis therapy will experience anxiety caused by financial crises, fear of death, and stressors. One of the effective distraction techniques used to overcome anxiety in patients is using Murottal Al-Qur'an Audio. The brain will release neuropeptides that can provide comfort and pleasure when stimulated by Murottal Al-Qur'an Audio, which will lessen the patient’s anxiety. The research design used is quantitative research with a pre-experimental One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design approach. The population in this study were patients undergoing Cito hemodialysis who met the inclusion criteria, with a sample of 31 respondents. The sampling technique used accidental sampling. The research results were obtained before Murottal Al-Qur’an Audio was carried out from a total of 31 respondents: 18 (58.1%) respondents experienced severe anxiety, 12 (38.7%) respondents experienced moderate anxiety, and 1 (3.2%) respondent experienced mild anxiety. After carrying out Murottal Al-Qur'an Audio, it was found that 21 (67.7%) respondents experienced mild anxiety, 10 (32.3%) respondents experienced moderate anxiety, and none (0%) respondents experienced severe anxiety. After analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, the results showed p-value = 0.000, indicating Murottal Al-Qur'an Audio's influence on the Anxiety Level of Cito Hemodialysis Patients. It is hoped that hospital management can use Audio Murottal Al-Qur'an as a non-pharmacological technique/alternative therapy in providing nursing care to reduce the level of anxiety in patients undergoing Cito hemodialysis.

Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is an infection that attacks the body's immune system, especially white blood cells called CD4 cells. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) targets the immune system and weakens people's defenses against many infections and some types of cancer. The article was searched through several online databases, including PubMed, ProQuest, Scient Direct, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. A total of 8871 articles were obtained that matched the keywords; 259 articles were free of duplication, and 54 full-text articles. Eligibility was carried out to determine articles that met the inclusion criteria, and 10 articles that met the criteria for the age range of respondents were found, with the article being 10-24 years old. The study design used a prospective study and a retrospective study. The total sample was 1,793 HIV-AIDS sufferers. The main result of MBSR is that it can help improve immunity in HIV-infected people. Stress reduction can buffer CD4+ and T lymphocyte decline in diverse community samples of HIV-infected individuals. Mindfulness's positive impact on outcomes is meaningful and important, including improved emotional coping and regulation, increased life satisfaction, decreased aggression, and decreased disease activity.

Abstract

Asthma is a common respiratory disease that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Despite advances in asthma management, challenges remain in controlling symptoms and maintaining patients' quality of life. Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) is an important parameter for monitoring lung function and managing asthma effectively. This study explores the relationship between Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) values and the quality of life of asthma patients at the Pulmonary Polyclinic of Bhayangkara Lumajang Hospital. The study design used was observational analytics with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of asthma patients undergoing regular check-ups at the pulmonary clinic, with a sample size of 60 patients selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected using a peak flow meter to measure PEF values and the Standardized Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ-S) to assess patients' quality of life. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed that 37 respondents (61.7%) experienced airway narrowing, while 23 respondents (38.3%) had more severe airway narrowing. Regarding quality of life, 34 respondents (56.7%) fell into the moderate quality of life category, while 26 respondents (43.3%) were in the poor quality of life category. Spearman rank correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between PEF values and the quality of life of asthma patients, with a ρ-value = 0.000. This indicates that higher PEF values are associated with better quality of life among asthma patients. The study concludes that PEF is an important indicator for assessing the quality of life of asthma patients, and regular PEF monitoring can help improve their quality of life. This research provides a foundation for developing more effective asthma management strategies.

Abstract

Health issues arise from human behavior in interacting with themselves and their environment. The Healthy Indonesia 2025 policy establishes three pillars: healthy behavior, a healthy environment, and equitable, high-quality healthcare services. Living in group settings, such as Islamic boarding schools, poses risks of quickly contracting various diseases, particularly skin diseases like ringworm, itching, tinea versicolor, athlete’s foot, and scabies. Transmission occurs when personal and environmental hygiene is not adequately maintained. This study aims to determine the effect of health promotion on health behavior among students at the Raudlotul Falah Islamic Boarding School in Lumajang. The research design employs a pre-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test one-group design. The sample consisted of 32 students selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire. The Wilcoxon statistical test was used to analyze the data. The study concluded that health promotion positively influenced students' clean and healthy living behavior at the Raudlotul Falah Islamic Boarding School. Before the intervention, all respondents (32 students, 100%) exhibited poor health behaviors. Following health promotion, 13 students (40.6%) remained in the poor health category, 17 students (53.1%) improved to a moderately healthy category, one student (3.1%) reached a healthy category, and one student (3.1%) attained a very healthy category. The impact of health promotion on clean and healthy living behaviors was statistically significant, as evidenced by the Wilcoxon test results, which showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). To enhance these outcomes, implementing solutions such as increased education and counseling programs for students on the importance of healthy lifestyles is recommended. These initiatives could involve distributing educational materials, conducting health campaigns, or holding seminars using print media, games, or simulations.

Abstract

Malnutrition, iron deficiency, malabsorption, and chronic illness are the direct causes of anemia. There was already a non-pharmacological treatment for anemia in pregnancy, such as eating green vegetables, beans, chicken liver, beetroot, and red guava fruit. Beets have one of the highest quantities of folic acid of any fruit, at 108 mg, compared to other fruits. The goal of this study was to see how beetroot juice (Beta vulgaris L) affected hemoglobin levels in anemic pregnant women at the Cibatu Health Center in Garut Regency. The approach is a quasi-experimental investigation. The population was made up of 234 pregnant women in their third trimester. Purposive sampling was used in this study, with 48 persons separated into the experimental and control groups. Observation sheets and Easy Touch GCHb were used as instruments. Paired T-test and Independent Samples Test were used to analyze the data. The results demonstrate that before being given beet juice, the average hemoglobin level in the experimental group was 9.09. After being given beetroot juice, it was 10,98 while in the control group. Observation sheets and Easy Touch GCHb were used as instruments. Paired T-test and Independent Samples Test were used to analyze the data. The results show that before being given beet juice, the average hemoglobin level in the experimental group was 9.09, and after being given beetroot juice was 10,98. In contrast, in the control group, the hemoglobin level of the first examination was 8.99, and the hemoglobin level of the second examination was 9.92. The p-value for the bivariate analysis between and within groups was 0.000 (0.05). It can be inferred that beetroot juice affects hemoglobin levels in anemic pregnant women. This finding is predicted to help boost hemoglobin levels in pregnant women who have anemia.
