Abstract

Entering old age, more and more diseases attack the elderly, including high blood pressure. Most people with hypertension don't know they have hypertension because it has no symptoms, so it's often called the silent killer. Elderly people must adhere to treatment in cases of hypertension, especially by taking antihypertensive drugs. The problem faced by elderly people with hypertension is that most of them do not adhere to their medication. The behavior of following a doctor's advice comes from beliefs or perceptions. The health belief model is one of the theories based on faith. This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting medication adherence in the elderly with hypertension as a function of health belief regimen. This study uses a type of quantitative research. The study design used descriptive analysis with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of 107 elderly people with a sample of 100 elderly people with hypertension in the work area of Jenggawah Primary Health Center. The study will be conducted from April to May 2023. The instrument used in the study is a questionnaire. Based on the test results by SPSS using a logistic regression test with α of 0.05, perceived susceptibility p-value of 0.003, p-value of perceived severity of 0.036, p-value of perceived benefit is 0.682 observed, perceived barriers are found to be p-value 0.216, self-efficacy p value 0.081, cues to action p value 0.746. Based on the study results, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the perception of susceptibility and the perception of severity on the adherence to drug treatment in the elderly with hypertension.

Abstract

Nurses who work in shifts may face poor sleep quality and oppressive fatigue. The purpose of this study was to clarify Chinese medicine constitution that influences sleep quality and fatigue among Chinese nurses engaged in shift work. Considering that these conditions might differ according to living environments, studies were conducted both in Japan and China. Data were gathered using the attributes of nurses, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to evaluate sleep quality, the Jikaku-sho shirabe to evaluate fatigue, and the Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire, which evaluates Chinese medicine constitution according to nine criteria. The survey was conducted via internet, with data analyzed from 100 Chinese subjects in Japan and 100 Chinese subjects in China. Increase in age, living in China, Qi-deficiency constitution and Blood-stasis constitution were causal factors for lower sleep quality. Sleep quality was significantly lower among nurses in China than those in Japan. The following factors were observed to be causal factors for increased fatigue: longer histories of working in shifts, living in Japan, poorer quality sleep, Qi-deficiency constitution, Yang- and Yin-deficiency constitution, Qi-stagnation constitution and Inherited special constitution. Nurses in Japan showed significantly greater fatigue at the end of a night shift than did those in China. It is suggested that adjustments of Qi-deficiency constitution and Blood-stasis constitution can improve sleep quality in nurses who work in shifts. We believe that improving sleep quality and making adjustments to the five types of Chinese medicine constitution can work to reduce fatigue.

Abstract

Health volunteers are selected based on their community knowledge, even with limited formal education. They play crucial roles including complex and technical tasks, such as recording and reporting. The aim of this study was to compare the competency in recording and reporting among health volunteers based on their education qualifications. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at a subdistrict hospital in Thailand. Data were collected using the newly developed questionnaire from a purposive sample of health volunteers (N=70). Competency differences were assessed using non-parametric statistics between 44 volunteers with primary education and 26 with secondary education or higher. A total of 70 health volunteers were included in the analyses, yielding a participation rate of 95.9% (70 out of 73). The majority of participants were female (84.3%) and the average age was 57.5 years. Those with secondary education or higher demonstrated significantly better competency in recording and reporting community health status (p = .01). The findings emphasize the need to enhance competency among health volunteers with lower education levels. Nurses in primary care settings can provide guidance, training, and continuous support to empower health volunteers for effective performance.

Abstract

Hypertension is the most common chronic disease suffered by people in Indonesia and is the main cause of death every year. Hypertension is called the silent killer because it is often experienced without complaints, and causes serious complications, especially in middle adulthood. Management of hypertension can be done with non-pharmacological therapy, one of which is meditation. This study aims to analyze the effect of meditation on reducing blood pressure in middle-aged hypertensive sufferers in the Pandanwangi Health Center working area, Malang City on April 2022. The research design was quasi experimental with a pre-test post-test design with control group. The total sample was 42 respondents divided into two groups (treatment and control). Statistical analysis uses the Mann Whitney test. The results showed that there was a decrease in the average systolic blood pressure from 148.33 mmHg to 139.28 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure from 89.04 mmHg to 83.57 mmHg in the treatment group after being given meditation for 3 sessions. The statistical test results show that the p-value for measuring post-treatment systolic blood pressure between the treatment group and the control group is 0.022 ≤ alpha 0.05, and the p-value for measuring post-treatment diastolic between the treatment group and the control group is 0.005 ≤ alpha 0.05. So, it can be concluded that there is an effect of meditation on reducing blood pressure in middle-aged hypertensive sufferers. It is hoped that in future research can be continued on the effect of meditation on blood pressure in other age groups (elderly age) by analyzing factors that can influence blood pressure, such as stress, physical activity and sleep patterns.

Abstract

Hypertension is a disease that causes high pain. Consuming sodium and fatty acids every day can increase the risk of hypertension. The impact of high fatty acids affects the presence of cholesterol deposits in the blood, while the levels of fatty acids cause increased blood pressure. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sodium fat and hypertension in the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) at the Jarak Kulon Public Health Center Jombang. The research design used was cross-sectional. The population of this study was all hypertensive patients who participated in Prolanis, as many as 50 people. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The independent variable is the fat-sodium diet, and the dependent variable is hypertension. The instrument for the fat-sodium diet uses a questionnaire, while the incident uses observation. Statistical tests use Spearman Ranks. Spearman ranked data analysis with a significance of 0.01 and obtained a value of 0.000. Because (<α) means there is a relationship between the fat-sodium diet and hypertension. The test results also show that the relationship level of 0.695 is included in the strong category. Based on the research results, it is hoped that food content that is low in fat and low in sodium levels will help blood pressure to reach near-normal levels to avoid more severe complications.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a significant public health concern, particularly among elderly families. Limited access to healthcare resources and inadequate disease management exacerbation the impact of NCDs on this vulnerable population. This study aimed to implement a community outreach initiative focused on enhancing non-communicable disease management in elderly families. A comprehensive intervention was designed, including health education workshops, individualized health assessments, and the establishment of support networks. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted to measure changes in knowledge levels, health status, health management practices, health behaviors, and family resilience among elderly families. Following the intervention, there was a substantial improvement in knowledge regarding NCDs and their management. Additionally, participants exhibited enhanced health status and more effective health management practices. Positive changes in health behaviors, such as regular exercise and balanced nutrition, were also observed. Moreover, family resilience significantly increased, strengthening their ability to cope with health challenges. The community outreach initiative demonstrated significant positive outcomes in non-communicable disease management among elderly families. Targeted interventions can play a role in empowering this demographic, improve their health and well-being, and encouraging community-based health services.
