Abstract

HIV continues to be a significant global public health problem, claiming 36.3 million lives so far and an estimated 37.7 million people living with HIV by the end of 2020. 16% of all people living with HIV do not know they have HIV. People infected with HIV in 2020 reached 1.5 million lives, and people died reached 680,000 lives. (WHO, 2020). This study aims to evaluate the implementation of HIV/AIDS counseling and testing at the Cidempet Health Center and the Bongas Health Center, Indramayu Regency. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. The research informants consisted of 3 primary informants: 1 HIV/AIDS Program Holder of the Health Office, 2 HIV/AIDS Program Holders of the Health Center, and 4 Triangulation Informants: 2 Heads of Health Centers and 2 Recipients of HIV/AIDS Counseling and Testing Services. The data was analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study shows that there is no difference in the implementation of guidance/direction and communication in HIV/AIDS counseling and testing programs before the COVID-19 pandemic was carried out directly and during the COVID-19 pandemic was transferred online. The implementation of work motivation within the health center is not explicitly given. While motivating service recipients at the Cidempet Health Center is good enough, the Bongas Health Center is not. The implementation of human resource performance is still an obstacle due to the shortage of human resources and the allocation of funds, and there are differences in the provision of funding sources for HIV/AIDS counseling and testing activities. The conclusion of this study is that before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of counseling and tests experienced differences where counseling visits and tests only accepted patients who were indicated to have HIV, the implementation of Briefing, communication, motivation, human resource performance, and fund allocation had their obstacles. The suggestion in this study is to improve and optimize policies and procedures for HIV/AIDS counseling and testing in Puskesmas.

Abstract

Ginger is an herbal medicinal ingredient that is efficacious in relieving coughs and sore throats, lowering bad cholesterol levels, relieving headaches, overcoming rheumatism, losing weight, maintaining heart health, overcoming nausea and digestive problems, preventing intestinal inflammation, improving the immune system, and cure asthma. Ginger acts as an aromatherapy treatment for nausea in pregnant women during the initial stage of pregnancy. The employed methodology is quasi-experimental, utilizing the one-group pretest and posttest design approach. This research design lacks a comparison group (control). However, the researcher conducts an initial observation (pretest) to assess the change. The study's independent variable is the use of ginger aromatherapy. The study focused on the dependent variables of nausea and vomiting experienced by pregnant women during the first trimester. The study findings demonstrated that ginger aromatherapy had a significant impact on reducing the occurrence of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women during the first trimester at the Kersana Brebes Health Center in 2024, shifting the severity from moderate to mild.

Abstract

Initiating breastfeeding within the first day of delivery has been shown to decrease the likelihood of newborn mortality. It is specifically demonstrated to provide exclusive protection against diarrhea, respiratory infections, and pneumonia ASI. The project seeks to investigate endorphin massage's impact on smoothness development in postpartum women at TPMB Sulastri, S.ST., M.Kes in 2024.ASI stands for Automatic Speech Recognition. This research employs a quasi-experiment design utilizing a pretest-posttest control group strategy. The sample included of 14 participants in the intervention group and 14 participants in the control group. Purposive sampling techniques were employed. The instrument utilizes Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and checklist sheets. A three-day Endorphin massage treatment was administered and assessed using the Mann-Whitney test. The study found that 50% of individuals had a moderate frequency of meal intake. The utilization rate of non-hormonal contraceptives was 71.4%. The weight of newborns does not exceed 100% of the BBLR. The gestational age at the time of labor is 100% accurate. The mean milk output of the intervention group was 2.6 before and 7.5 after. The mean of the control group was 2.5 before and 5.2 after. The endorphin massage significantly impacted the efficient production of breast milk in postpartum moms. This was evidenced by a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05) and a positive Correlation Coefficient value of 0.88, indicating a highly robust association between the two variables. Ultimately, endorphin massage has a significant impact on facilitating the efficient production of breast milk in mothers throughout the postpartum period. It is desirable for lactating postpartum women to regularly engage in endorphin massage to ensure the continuous and unobstructed flow of breast milk during the entire two-year duration of breastfeeding.

Abstract

Uncontrolled hypertension may result in numerous consequences; effective management is essential to regulate blood pressure in hypertensive individuals by both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Isometric handgrip exercise is a non-pharmacological therapy. This study sought to assess the impact of isometric handgrip exercise on blood pressure in hypertensive individuals in Tenajar Lor Village, Kertasemaya District, Indramayu Regency. This research design employs a quasi-experimental framework featuring a two-group pre- and post-test methodology alongside a control group design. The study sample comprised 30 respondents, categorized into intervention and control groups. The isometric handgrip exercise intervention was conducted daily for five successive days. The Wilcoxon test results indicated that the intervention group had an average systolic mean rank of 8.00 with a p-value of 0.000, and a diastolic mean rank of 7.50 with a p-value of 0.000. The control group exhibited a mean rank of 2.00 for systolic measurements with a p-value of 0.083, and a mean rank of 3.13 for diastolic measurements with a p-value of 0.157. The Mann-Whitney test yielded the average blood pressure disparity between the intervention and control groups. The p-values obtained were 0.001 for systolic blood pressure and 0.006 for diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.05). This study concludes that isometric handgrip exercise influences blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Individuals with hypertension are advised to perform isometric handgrip exercises autonomously at home. Healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, implement isometric handgrip exercises to regulate blood pressure in individuals with hypertension.
