Abstract

Hypertension is one of the global public health issues with serious implications as it may lead to severe complications such as stroke, coronary heart disease, and kidney failure. Elderly individuals are among the most vulnerable groups, with the highest prevalence found in the age group of 65–74 years (57.6%) and those over 75 years (63.8%). Non-pharmacological treatment for hypertension includes regular and consistent elderly gymnastics. This study aims to examine the effect of elderly gymnastics on blood pressure among elderly individuals with hypertension at the Rumoh Sejahtera Geunaseh Sayang Nursing Home, Ulee Kareng, Banda Aceh. The study applied a quasi-experimental design with a deductive approach. The population consisted of 55 elderly individuals, and 17 were selected as the sample using total sampling technique. The elderly gymnastics intervention was conducted three times a week, from April 17th to 22nd, 2025. Blood pressure was measured before and after the intervention using a pre-test and post-test observation sheet. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test, suitable for non-parametric data. Results showed that on the first day, there was no significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.091). On the second day, systolic blood pressure showed a significant decrease (p = 0.003), while diastolic pressure remained non-significant (p = 0.161). On the third session, a significant reduction occurred in both systolic (p = 0.000) and diastolic (p = 0.001) blood pressure. Conclusion: Elderly gymnastics has an effect on reducing blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension. This intervention may serve as an effective and applicable non-pharmacological therapy in daily life.

Abstract

Background : Nausea and vomiting are common physiological complaints during the first trimester of pregnancy, caused mainly by increased levels of hCG, estrogen, and progesterone. Although considered normal, these symptoms can disrupt daily activities and decrease quality of life. If excessive, they may result in complications such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, weight loss, and hyperemesis gravidarum, which threaten maternal and fetal health. Management can involve pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies. One safe, simple, and widely applied non-pharmacological approach is acupressure at the Pericardium 6 (PC6) point, believed to regulate the nausea center in the brain. Objective : This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of acupressure at the PC6 point in reducing nausea and vomiting among first-trimester pregnant women at PMB Ariyawati Susiandari, S.Tr.Keb., Central Lampung Regency. Method : This pre-experimental study used a one-group pretest–posttest design. Acupressure was performed at the PC6 point for 30 seconds, twice daily (morning and evening). Data were collected by observing changes in the intensity of nausea and vomiting before and after the intervention.The assessment was conducted by observing changes in the intensity of nausea and vomiting before and after the intervention. Result : Before acupressure, all respondents experienced moderate nausea and vomiting. After the intervention, most reported improvement, with symptoms reduced to the mild category. Statistical analysis with the Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of p=0.000, indicating a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention scores. Conclusion : Acupressure at the PC6 point effectively reduced nausea and vomiting in first-trimester pregnant women. This method can be recommended as a complementary non-pharmacological therapy that is safe, practical, and easily integrated into midwifery care.

Abstract

Aging is a dominant risk factor for most forms of cardiovascular disease. Sedentary lifestyle in elderly with obesity can decrease the function of cardiovascular system. Previous study determined that moderate intensity aerobic exercise was highly recommended in elderly because the type of exercise can improve body fitness and oxidative damage due to aging. The aims of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate intensity aerobic exercise on NOx plasma level, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in sedentary elderly women with overweight. The research method is quasi experimental with pre test and post test design. The sample included 33 volunteer sedentary elderly women overweight with age 65,11±4,85 years old that divided on two group that is the experimental group (EG/ n=17) and control group (CG/ n=16). EG performed moderate intensity aerobic exercise (walking) during 30 min per session, intensity 50–80% heart rate maximum,  three times per week for 12 week. The examination of NOx plasma level by ELISA method and resting blood pressure by auscultation method. Data was processed by unpaired t-test. Experimental group had significantly lower level of SBP (-10,294 p 0,001) than CG. NOx plasma level showed significantly decreases in both group (p < 0,05), but the decreasing trend was found to be higher in the CG. DBP and body mass index (BMI) did not change (p >0,05). Moderate intensity aerobic exercise can delay the reduction of NO due to aging proceses.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a medical condition that requires renal replacement therapy such as hemodialysis. Patient compliance with this therapy is essential to prevent complications and maintain quality of life. Patient motivation, both intrinsic and extrinsic, plays a significant role in determining the level of compliance. This study aims to examine the relationship between patient motivation and compliance with hemodialysis treatment in CKD patients at RSI PKU Muhammadiyah Pekajangan Pekalongan. This research uses a quantitative correlational design with purposive sampling, involving 67 respondents from a population of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis, with an average of 80 patients per month. The instruments used were patient motivation questionnaires and hemodialysis compliance questionnaires. The results showed that most respondents had good motivation (74.6%) and positive compliance (76.1%). Bivariate analysis using the Spearman Rank test revealed a significant relationship between motivation and compliance (p = 0.000) with a strong correlation (r = 0.685). This study suggests nursing interventions that focus on enhancing patient motivation to support long-term therapy success. The limitations of this study include the cross-sectional design, which cannot prove causal relationships, and the potential social bias in the self-report instruments.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is a common gynecological problem among adolescent girls and often interferes with their daily activities, school performance, and overall quality of life. Conventional pharmacological treatments such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used but may cause side effects with long-term consumption. Therefore, safe and natural alternatives are needed to manage menstrual pain effectively. Carrot juice, which is rich in beta-carotene, vitamin E, and other antioxidants, has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that could potentially reduce the severity of dysmenorrhea. This study aimed to determine the effect of carrot juice on reducing menstrual pain in female students at SMAN 1 Trimurjo. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 27 students who experienced dysmenorrhea. Pain intensity was assessed before and after the intervention using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that before the intervention, the majority of respondents (85.2%) reported moderate pain, while after consuming carrot juice, 92.6% reported mild pain and 7.4% reported no pain. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in pain levels before and after the intervention (p = 0.000, p < 0.05). These findings indicate that carrot juice is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea intensity among adolescent girls. As a safe, affordable, and easy-to-implement non-pharmacological therapy, carrot juice has the potential to be recommended as a complementary approach to menstrual pain management, especially for adolescents who seek natural remedies. Further research with larger samples and control groups is recommended to strengthen the evidence and explore the long-term benefits of carrot juice in menstrual health.

Abstract

This study is based on the phenomenon of anxiety that patients almost always experience before undergoing surgery, which generally arises due to limited information regarding the upcoming medical procedure. Anxiety is understood as a psychological response closely related to stress and can be influenced by various factors, including the patient's education level. Education plays a crucial role in increasing a person's general knowledge, particularly in understanding medical theories, procedures, and risks, thus enabling patients to make better decisions and reducing anxiety. In the context of spinal anesthesia, knowledge about the preparation, procedure, and side effects of anesthesia can help patients feel more mentally prepared. The main objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between education level and anxiety levels in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional correlation design and involved 49 respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique. The data collection instrument used the APAIS questionnaire, while data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rho test. The results showed that respondents were predominantly aged 36–45 years (40.8%), predominantly female (53%), with the majority undergoing general surgery (49%), and having an ASA II health status (63%). In terms of education, the majority of respondents were high school graduates (67.1%), while the highest anxiety level was in the moderate category (83.7%). Spearman's Rho analysis yielded a p-value of 0.039 < 0.05, thus accepting the alternative hypothesis (Ha). Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between education level and preoperative patient anxiety during spinal anesthesia procedures. This finding confirms that increasing knowledge through education plays a significant role in reducing anxiety before medical procedures.

Abstract

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common complications following surgery under general anesthesia, with an incidence of 20–70% in the general population and exceeding 80% in high-risk patients. PONV can reduce patient comfort, delay recovery, and increase the risk of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and surgical wound dehiscence. This article aims to analyze the effectiveness of single antiemetic therapy compared with combination antiemetic therapy in reducing the incidence of PONV in adult patients after general anesthesia, based on evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). This study applied the Arksey and O’Malley framework for analysis. Literature was obtained from ScienceDirect, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library, published between 2020 and 2025. Identification and selection of studies followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (Moher et al., 2009). A total of 10 articles were included and analyzed, focusing on outcomes such as the incidence of nausea and vomiting, complete response rates, and the need for rescue antiemetic therapy. The findings indicate that single antiemetic therapy remains effective in low-risk patients, whereas combination antiemetic therapy with multiple mechanisms of action provides more optimal protection, particularly in high-risk patients. These results provide an evidence-based foundation for healthcare professionals in selecting the most effective PONV prevention strategies according to individual patient risk and clinical conditions.

Abstract

Drug abuse is a serious global public health problem, with the prevalence in Indonesia reaching 1.73% or about 3.33 million people in 2023, mainly among those aged 15–24 years. Understanding the psychological determinants of this behavior is crucial to enhance prevention and rehabilitation efforts. Objective: To analyze determinants of drug abuse behavior based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) through a literature review of studies published between 2015 and 2025. Methods: A literature review of 8 academic articles from Google Scholar and PubMed, limited to open‑access Indonesian- and English‑language journals examining HBM constructs related to drug abuse and rehabilitation participation. Results: HBM variables were generally associated with drug abuse behavior and rehabilitation adherence, with self‑efficacy emerging as the most consistent determinant, followed by perceived susceptibility and perceived severity. Perceived barriers, especially complex administrative procedures, distance, costs, and stigma, were identified as major obstacles to engaging in rehabilitation. Conclusion: The HBM is useful for mapping determinants of drug abuse behavior and highlights the need to strengthen self‑efficacy, risk perceptions, and barrier reduction within health promotion and community‑based rehabilitation programs.

Abstract

Sleep is a fundamental biological need for adolescents and plays a crucial role in supporting cognitive function, emotional regulation, and overall mental health. Despite its importance, sleep quality among adolescents has increasingly declined due to the interaction of individual characteristics, social environments, and daily sleep behaviors. This article aims to analyze the factors influencing adolescent sleep quality using the Social Cognitive Theory framework through a literature review of national and international journals published between 2021 and 2025. The findings show that adolescent sleep quality is shaped by personal factors, including attitudes toward sleep, self-efficacy, and psychological conditions. Environmental factors, such as parental support, peer influence, and academic demands, also significantly affect sleep patterns. In addition, behavioral factors, particularly sleep hygiene practices, play a key role in determining sleep quality. Consistently, unhealthy sleep behaviors are associated with poor sleep quality. Therefore, comprehensive interventions are needed, involving the improvement of sleep habits, strengthening adolescents’ self-regulation abilities, and enhancing family and school support to promote better sleep quality.
