<![CDATA[Introduction: Diabetes is a disorder of insulin hormone production that causes blood sugar levels in the body to exceed normal limits, leading to various problems such as stress and poor sleep quality. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a relaxation technique that addresses stress and sleep quality issues. The research aimed to determine the effect of PMR on stress levels and sleep quality in diabetes mellitus sufferers. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre and post-test design. Sampling was done using purposive sampling with a total of 33 samples. Research variables were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25 with a paired sample t-test. Results: The majority of samples were elderly (51%) with a female gender predominance (75%) and a duration of diabetes of >5 years (54.5%). Stress was more prevalent among the elderly (23.5%), males (25%), and those with a duration of diabetes <5 years (13.3%). Poor sleep quality was predominantly experienced by late adults (87.5%), males (87.5%), and those suffering for >5 years (83.3%). Samples tended to have moderate to severe stress levels (63.6%) and poor sleep quality (81.8%). After the implementation of PMR, there was a decrease in the mean stress level (3.70) and sleep quality (2.97). The paired sample t-test shows a p-value <0.05, which means there are differences in stress levels and sleep quality in samples before and after PMR. Conclusions: Progressive muscle relaxation significantly reduces stress levels and improves sleep quality in diabetes mellitus sufferers. Progressive muscle relaxation may be recommended as part of stress management and interventions to improve sleep quality in people with diabetes mellitus. This technique is easy to apply and can be done independently or in structured sessions. Integrating these techniques into diabetes treatment programs can provide additional benefits in managing stress and improving sleep quality, supporting better diabetes management.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Motivation is essential in improving medication adherence in hypertensive patients. Non-adherence to medication is often a significant obstacle in the management of high blood pressure, leading to an increased risk of serious complications such as heart disease and stroke. This study analyzes the relationship between patients' motivation levels and adherence to hypertension treatment regimens. Methods: The research design used is descriptive-analytical with a cross-sectional approach to hypertensive patients in a health clinic. Data were collected through questionnaires that measured motivation and adherence to medication. Results: The results of the analysis showed that patients with high motivation had better compliance levels than those with low motivation (p < 0.05). Contributing motivational factors include family support, understanding of the benefits of treatment, and confidence in managing the hypertension condition. Conclusions: Strong motivation plays a significant role in improving medication adherence in hypertensive patients, so health workers need to strengthen the motivational aspect of patient education and counseling programs. This is expected to help reduce the risk of complications and improve the quality of life of hypertensive patients.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Hypertension in pregnancy is one of the severe complications and is the leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for hypertension in pregnancy include various aspects, including exposure to cigarette smoke, which has a detrimental impact on the mother and fetus. This study aims to analyze the impact of exposure to cigarette smoke as a risk factor for hypertension in pregnancy. Methods: The design of observational analytical research with a cross-sectional design uses point-time, observation, or data collection methods to examine the relationship dynamics between impact risk factors. The dependent variable of this study is the prevalence of hypertension in pregnant women. The number of samples was 128 people using the purposive sampling technique. Results: The results of the study showed that pregnant women who were exposed to cigarette smoke, both active and passive, had a higher risk of developing hypertension compared to mothers who were not exposed. Harmful components in cigarette smoke, such as nicotine and carbon monoxide, play a role in raising blood pressure through vasoconstriction mechanisms and oxidative stress, which aggravate the workload of the heart and circulatory system. Conclusions: These findings show the need for prevention and education efforts to reduce exposure to cigarette smoke in pregnant women, to reduce the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy, and improve the health of mothers and babies. With this information, it is hoped that health workers and the public can be more aware of the dangers of cigarette smoke during pregnancy and strive for a smoke-free environment for pregnant women.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Depression is a prevalent psychological issue among the elderly, often exacerbated by isolation and various physical and mental health challenges. As a non-pharmacological intervention, music therapy has shown potential in alleviating depressive symptoms. This study examines the effectiveness of listening to nostalgic songs in reducing depression among elderly residents. Methods: This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 28 elderly participants who met the inclusion criteria were selected from a population of 43 individuals. The participants underwent a 20-minute intervention of listening to nostalgic songs, conducted six times over two weeks. Depression levels were measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15) before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test in SPSS version 25 to determine the significance of the intervention's effects. Results: The analysis revealed a significant reduction in depression levels after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest depression scores. This finding suggests that nostalgic music therapy effectively reduces depressive symptoms among elderly participants. Conclusions: The results support the hypothesis that listening to nostalgic songs can serve as an effective intervention for reducing depression in the elderly. Nostalgic music therapy can be considered a beneficial non-pharmacological approach to enhancing the psychological well-being of elderly individuals. Future studies with control groups and larger sample sizes are recommended to validate these findings further]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Self-medication is the practice of using drugs without a doctor's prescription to overcome minor health problems, one of which is analgetic drugs to reduce pain. Although self-medication can improve the accessibility of medications, improper use can be risky for the patient's health. Adequate knowledge of the types, dosages, and ways of using analgesic medications is essential to ensure effectiveness and avoid adverse side effects. This study aims to evaluate the level of patient knowledge about analgetic drug self-medication. Methods: This study uses a quantitative design with a survey approach. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to 81 patients who visited the pharmacy. Results: The results of this study indicate that the percentage of respondents' answers is 8.091%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the level of patient knowledge about self-medication of analgtic drugs is in a good category. Conclusions: The results showed that the majority of patients had sufficient knowledge about the indications and dosage of analgetic drugs, but there was a gap in understanding of potential side effects and drug interactions. This indicates the need for more intensive health education regarding self-medication, especially in the use of analgesic drugs, to reduce the risk of inappropriate use]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Hypertension is one of the main health problems that often occurs in the elderly, especially those who are obese. An unhealthy lifestyle, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and smoking habits, can worsen this condition. This study aims to analyze the relationship between lifestyle and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly and obesity, as well as identify the most influential lifestyle factors. Materials and Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design involving 200 randomly selected obese elderly respondents. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire that included information about diet, physical activity, and smoking habits. Blood pressure measurements are taken to determine hypertension status. Statistical analysis was performed using logistic regression. Results: The results of the analysis showed that a diet high in salt and low in fiber, as well as lack of physical activity, was significantly associated with an increased risk of hypertension in obese elderly (p < 0.05). Smoking habits have also been found to be a risk factor that worsens the condition of hypertension. Older people who adopt a healthy lifestyle have a lower risk of developing hypertension. Conclusions: Lifestyle modifications, including increased physical activity and dietary improvements, are important strategies in the prevention and management of hypertension in obese older adults. These findings emphasize the need for health intervention programs that focus on lifestyle changes to improve the quality of life of the elderly. This research provides a basis for the development of more effective health policies in dealing with hypertension in the elderly population]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Stunting is a serious public health problem, especially in developing countries, and can long-term impact children's physical and cognitive development. The nutritional status of pregnant women plays an important role in the growth and development of the fetus, which can affect the risk of stunting in children after birth. This study aims to analyze the influence of the nutritional status of pregnant women on the incidence of stunting in early childhood. Research Methodology: This study uses a cohort study design involving pregnant women and their children under five years old. Data were collected through interviews, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory analysis to assess the mother's nutritional status, including macro and micronutrient intake. Result: The analysis showed a significant relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women and the incidence of stunting in children. Pregnant women with good nutritional status have a lower risk of giving birth to stunted children compared to pregnant women who are malnourished. In addition, factors such as maternal education, economic status, and access to health services also contribute to the incidence of stunting. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of adequate nutrition during pregnancy to prevent stunting in early childhood. Appropriate nutritional interventions and increased awareness of the importance of nutrition during pregnancy are urgently needed to improve maternal and child health. Recommendations for public health programs and nutrition policies were also discussed to address the stunting problem.]]>
