Abstract

Sleep disturbances are common among perimenopausal women due to hormonal fluctuations and psychosocial changes, which may negatively affect physical health, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly recommended in primary health care settings to manage sleep problems safely and effectively. This study aimed to examine the relationship between lavender aromatherapy and sleep quality among perimenopausal women in a primary health care setting. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design was conducted involving 60 perimenopausal women aged 45–55 years who were divided into an intervention group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The intervention group received lavender aromatherapy via inhalation using a diffuser for 30 minutes before bedtime over seven consecutive days, while the control group received no aromatherapy intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and the Mann–Whitney U Test. The results showed a significant improvement in sleep quality in the intervention group, with the mean PSQI score decreasing from 12.00 (SD = 1.89) to 6.23 (SD = 2.73) (p < 0.001), whereas no significant change was observed in the control group (p = 0.349). Posttest comparison revealed a significant difference in sleep quality between the intervention and control groups (p < 0.001). In conclusion, lavender aromatherapy is associated with improved sleep quality among perimenopausal women and may serve as an effective complementary intervention in primary health care settings.

Abstract

Hypertension remains a significant public health challenge among agricultural workers, particularly in rural areas with limited access to healthcare services. The unique occupational and environmental risk factors faced by farmers, such as heavy physical workload, prolonged heat exposure, unhealthy dietary habits, and low health literacy, contribute to the high prevalence of hypertension in this population. Agronursing, an integrative approach that combines nursing practices with agrarian contexts, has emerged as a promising model for managing hypertension in farming communities. This literature review evaluates the effectiveness of agronursing interventions in reducing blood pressure and improving health outcomes among farmers. A comprehensive literature search across four databases (Semantic Scholar, PubMed, Springer, and ScienceDirect) yielded 10 eligible studies published between 2020 and 2025. These studies explored various interventions, including plant-based diet modifications, community-led health education, involvement of local health cadres, non-pharmacological therapies such as slow stroke back massage, and nurse-led hypertension management. Findings indicate that agronursing interventions significantly contribute to lowering blood pressure, increasing health awareness, and promoting sustainable lifestyle changes. The most successful interventions were those that integrated cultural sensitivity, utilized local resources, and involved trained community health workers or nurses in delivering care. Despite the positive outcomes, several limitations were identified, including short follow-up periods, small sample sizes, lack of randomization, and challenges related to program sustainability and generalizability. This review highlights the importance of context-specific, community-centered strategies for addressing hypertension among rural populations. It provides policymakers, nursing educators, and healthcare practitioners with insights to develop scalable, evidence-based agronursing programs. Further research is needed to assess the long-term impact of these interventions and their integration into national rural health systems.

Abstract

Hypertension among agricultural workers is a complex public health issue driven by a synergy of lifestyle choices, occupational hazards, and environmental exposures. Despite its prevalence, the specific interplay between farming-related risk factors and high blood pressure remains under-synthesized. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the key determinants ranging from sociodemographic to occupational factorsthat contribute to the risk of hypertension among farmers. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using ProQuest, Springer, and Science Direct databases. The search strategy utilized keywords such as “Hypertension,” “Farmers,” and “Blood Pressure.” Inclusion criteria focused on original research articles published between 2020 and 2025 that assessed risk factors in agricultural populations. A total of ten articles met the eligibility criteria and were analyzed. The review identified significant determinants categorized into occupational and behavioral factors. Key risk factors included age (>30 years), farming duration exceeding 8 years, and inadequate use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), suggesting a link to chemical exposure. Behavioral determinants included smoking, high sodium consumption, and psychological stress. Furthermore, the review highlights that non-pharmacological interventions, specifically health education and community-based promotion, effectively improve blood pressure control. Hypertension in farmers is associated with distinct occupational exposures (duration of work, PPE non-compliance) alongside traditional lifestyle risks. An integrated preventive strategy combining occupational safety education with lifestyle modification programs is essential for sustainable health management in agricultural communities.

Abstract

The immune system of infants is still developing, making them more susceptible to infectious diseases, including tuberculosis (TB). One of the effective preventive measures against TB is Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) immunization. However, BCG immunization coverage in the regency has only reached 93.13%, with Pakandangan Health Center ranking as the second lowest, achieving only 64% coverage out of a target population of 242 infants. This study aimed to examine the relationship between mothers’ level of knowledge and attitudes and the provision of BCG immunization in Korong Pakandangan, Enam Lingkung District, in 2025. An analytic survey with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 92 mothers who had infants aged 0–11 months, using total sampling. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. The results showed that 60.9% of respondents had low knowledge regarding BCG immunization, 56.5% had negative attitudes toward BCG immunization, and 66.3% had provided BCG immunization to their infants. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between mothers’ knowledge and BCG immunization provision (p = 0.001) as well as between mothers’ attitudes and BCG immunization provision (p = 0.008). In conclusion, mothers’ knowledge and attitudes are significantly associated with the provision of BCG immunization. It is recommended that health workers, particularly community health volunteers (posyandu staff), enhance the frequency of health education to improve awareness of the importance of BCG immunization for infants.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by impaired glucose and lipid metabolism, increasing the risk of dyslipidemia, which contributes to cardiovascular complications. This study aims to determine the relationship between fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels and lipid profiles in T2DM patients at Andalas Padang Community Health Center. This study used an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach based on medical record data. The study sample consisted of 88 randomly selected T2DM patients. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that the majority of patients had high FBG levels (83.0%), normal total cholesterol (77.3%), low HDL (81.8%), high triglycerides (71.6%), and high LDL (38.6%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between FBG and triglycerides (p = 0.036) and LDL (p = 0.055). Meanwhile, there was no significant relationship between FBG and total cholesterol (p = 0.097) or HDL (p = 0.102). This study concludes that there is a relationship between GDP levels and triglycerides and LDL in type 2 DM patients. Suggestions, health workers are expected to increase monitoring of lipid profiles, especially LDL, in type 2 DM patients. Patients are also advised to comply with diet, physical activity, and drug therapy.
