Abstract

Hypertension remains a major non-communicable disease and a public health concern in Indonesia, with psychological stress recognised as an important modifiable risk factor. This study aimed to analyse the association between stress level, promotive efforts, and preventive efforts with the incidence of hypertension at Dandy Dinda Clinic, Tembung. A quantitative observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from May to June 2026. The population consisted of 107 hypertensive patients recorded between January and May 2026, and 84 respondents were selected using the Slovin formula with a 5% margin of error. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires, including the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), while secondary data were obtained from clinic records. Data were analysed using univariate distribution and the Chi-Square test at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that most respondents experienced moderate stress (59.5%) and stage 1 hypertension (61.9%). The Chi-Square test indicated a significant association between stress level and hypertension (p=0.006), promotive efforts and hypertension (p=0.024), and preventive efforts and hypertension (p=0.009). These findings suggest that stress management, health education, and preventive behaviours should be strengthened at the primary care level to support hypertension control.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) is a chronic disease caused by insulin resistance and insufficient insulin production, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. Proper blood glucose control can prevent both microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes. Effective management is therefore needed to monitor blood glucose levels through healthy lifestyle modifications, including a healthy diet and physical exercise. This study aimed to determine the difference between healthy diet education and physical exercise in monitoring blood glucose levels among patients with t2dm at darussalam public health center, medan. This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of 294 patients with t2dm, from which 44 participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using an observation sheet to record blood glucose levels among patients with t2dm. The data were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test. The results showed a significant difference in blood glucose levels between the healthy diet education and physical exercise groups, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The healthy diet education intervention resulted in a decrease in blood glucose levels of 23.86 mg/dl, while the physical exercise intervention resulted in a mean decrease in blood glucose levels of 52.72 mg/dl. There was a difference of 28.86 mg/dl in the change in blood glucose levels between the healthy diet education and physical exercise groups, with a p-value of 0.000. It can be concluded that there was a significant difference between healthy diet education and physical exercise interventions in monitoring blood glucose levels. It is recommended that the public health center establish regular physical exercise programs and strengthen support for dietary management by developing a non-communicable disease prevention community through healthy lifestyle programs. Posbindu health cadres are expected to serve as facilitators in implementing these programs.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a global health problem often referred to as the "silent killer" because it generally does not cause symptoms until serious complications occur. Truck drivers in the coastal area of Belawan are exposed to significant occupational risk factors, including prolonged sitting, long working hours, and low physical activity. Objective: To analyze the prevalence of hypertension and factors associated with hypertension among truck drivers in the Belawan coastal area in 2026. Methods: A quantitative study with observational analytic cross-sectional design involving 150 active truck drivers at Jl. Baru Logistic, Bagan Deli, Medan Belawan. Data were collected through structured interviews and blood pressure measurement using a calibrated Omron digital sphygmomanometer. Data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square), and multivariate (multiple logistic regression) methods. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was 50% (75 of 150 respondents) and prehypertension was 30% (45 respondents of 150 respondents). Bivariate analysis showed significant associations between hypertension and length of service (p=0.001), working duration (p=0.002), and physical activity (p=0.007). night shift work (p=0.068) Lifestyle (p=0.989), stress level (p=0.337), and JKN ownership (p=0.337) were not significantly associated. Multivariate analysis indicated that length of service (OR=2.207; p=0.008) and working duration (OR=0.2166; p=0.003) were significantly associated with hypertension. Conclusion: Hypertension has a very high prevalence among truck drivers in the Belawan coastal area (50%) prehypertension was 30%, with length of as the main risk factors. Targeted health promotion and preventive interventions for this occupational group are urgently needed.

Abstract

Introduction: Infant growth and development are important aspects of early life that are Influenced by stimulation and the active role of parents. One effective form of stimulation in supporting infant development is baby gym, a structured movement exercise designed to stimulate motor skills, coordination, and sensory responses through enjoyable physical activities. This study aimed to evaluate the role of parental education in the implementation of baby gym and its impact on infant growth and development in Mrisi Hamlet, Bantul. Methods: This study employed a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. A total of 40 infants aged 6–12 months were randomly assigned into two groups: the intervention group receiving education about baby gym (n = 20) and the control group (n = 20). The educational intervention was conducted over six weeks and included baby gym techniques as well as guidelines for home implementation. Measurements included body weight, body length, and motor and cognitive development using the Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire (KPSP). Results: The analysis showed significant improvements in the intervention group compared to the control group. The average increase in body weight was 1.4 kg (p = 0.004; p < 0.05), and body length increased by 3.9 cm (p = 0.0002; p < 0.001). Motor development improved significantly (p = 0.0001; p < 0.001), while cognitive development increased by 8.3 points (p = 0.001; p < 0.01). Overall, the group receiving education demonstrated significant improvements in all aspects of infant growth and development (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Parental education regarding baby gym has been proven effective in improving infant growth and development, both physically and cognitively. These findings emphasize the importance of empowering parents through education to optimize the benefits of baby gym in supporting comprehensive infant growth and development.

Abstract

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a severe manifestation of coronary artery disease, commonly caused by atherosclerotic plaque rupture and thrombus formation. Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitors is a cornerstone of AMI management but remains limited by bleeding risk and nonspecific drug distribution. Platelet membrane-coated nanoparticles (PM-NPs) are biomimetic drug delivery systems with potential for targeted therapy. Objective: To review the potential of PM-NPs for delivering aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitors in AMI management. Methods: A literature review was conducted using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar with the keywords “platelet membrane-coated nanoparticles,” “aspirin,” “P2Y12,” and “acute myocardial infarction.” Articles published within the last 10 years, available in full text, and written in English or Indonesian were selected according to predefined criteria. Twelve relevant articles were identified after screening. Results: PM-NPs demonstrated potential for targeting thrombi, atherosclerotic plaques, and injured myocardial tissue. They may improve drug stability, circulation time, and targeted delivery while reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, evidence regarding combined aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitor delivery remains limited and predominantly preclinical. Conclusion: PM-NPs represent a promising targeted antithrombotic platform for AMI. Further studies are required to establish the safety and efficacy of combined aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitor delivery.
