Abstract

Background. Reducing blood pressure in the elderly can be achieved through the utilization of alternative treatments, one of which is papaya juice. Hypertension in the elderly is highly perilous and can lead to fatal consequences. This research aimed to investigate the efficacy of papaya juice consumption in lowering blood pressure among the elderly population. Research Method. This research employed a Quasi-Experimental design with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The population studied consisted of all hypertensive patients at the Mojolangu Community Health Center. Sampling was conducted using a purposive sampling technique, with a total of 30 respondents – 15 assigned to the control group and 15 to the intervention group. Data collection utilized measurement tools including a Sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, and observation sheets. Data analysis was performed using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Findings. "The results of the study using the Wilcoxon test revealed that the systolic blood pressure had a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), and for diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group, a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) was obtained. This indicates that papaya juice is effective in assisting with blood pressure reduction. Further assessment of the difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure reduction was conducted through the Mann-Whitney test, yielding a p-value of 0.049, indicating a significant difference. Conclusion.  Papaya mengkal juice is highly effective and can be considered a viable alternative non-pharmacological therapy option to aid in lowering blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension.

Abstract

Background. Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five (babies under five years) which is caused by chronic malnutrition so that the child is too short for his age. Malnutrition occurs when the baby is in the womb and in the early days after the baby is born, but stunting only appears after the baby is 2 years old. Stunting can be caused by not going through the golden period which begins in the first 1000 days of life, which is the formation of a child's growth and development in the first 1000 days. Based on data obtained from the Suruh Community Health Center, stunting incidents were still found in the Suruh Community Health Center area. The results of the Suruh Community Health Center survey show that the factors that cause stunting in the Suruh Community Health Center work area are economic factors and parenting patterns. The stunting process is actually chronic. In overcoming stunting, all sectors and levels of society need to play a role.Research Method. This community service method is pre and post tests, counseling about early detection of stunting to cadres, training (training on how to measure anthropometry and development in children) to cadres, and distribution of anthropometric measuring equipment to cadres. The number of cadres targeted in this community service activity is 25 cadres from several villages in the Suruh Community Health Center working area. Findings. The results of community service based on observation and evaluation are an increase in cadres' knowledge about early detection of stunting, and cadres have skills in carrying out anthropometric measurements.Conclusion. Community service in the form of training and counseling carried out in the Suruh Community Health Center area generally provides benefits to cadres, mothers of toddlers and the community. Cadres have the motivation to provide information to other cadres and mothers of toddlers to prevent stunting, and are willing to carry out appropriate anthropometric measurements for toddlers at posyandu
