There is a correlation between parents' knowledge about hygiene (p-value:0.004) and the practice of personal hygiene (p-value (0.032) with the incidence of stunting. Stunting prevention efforts are to improve communication between health workers and the community through the development of IEC messages that are tailored to the needs of the target group, namely Households, 1,000 HPK, WUS, and young women.

The independent variable is the physical environment of the house (ventilation, floor type and occupancy density) with the dependent variable being the incidence of tuberculosis. Data was collected using observation sheets.The results of the simultaneous analysis show that there is a significant influence between the physical environment and the incidence of TB (p-value = 0.000), while partially the physical condition of the house, namely ventilation, p-value = 0.00 and occupancy density, p-value = 0.044 each had an effect on the incidence of tuberculosis, but the type of floor (p-value = 0.999) had no effect on the incidence of TB. The condition of the house that does not meet the healthy requirements, especially in terms of ventilation and occupancy density, makes the bacteria that cause TB able to live and multiply. is on the decline.

There is an influence of beapreasi therapy on cognitive function in the elderly in Bujel sub-district, Kediri City in 2023. Before carrying out beapreasi therapy, most respondents experienced a mild decline in cognitive function. Meanwhile, after undergoing behavioral therapy, the majority of respondents had normal cognitive function. In group 2, the Pv value was obtained: 0.005 so that Pv<a concluded that there was an influence of brain exercise on cognitive function in the elderly. After comparing the results in the two groups, the value Pv: 0.000 was obtained, it was concluded that Pv <a. There are differences in the effect of the two therapies on cognitive function in the elderly. Appreciation therapy is better at improving cognitive function in the elderly compared to brain exercises, although the difference is very minimal.

Abstract

According to Soetjiningsih (1997), the most common problem in breastfeeding is nipple pain / blisters, about 57% of mothers who breastfeed reported having suffered from blisters on their nipples. Nipples of blisters can prevent exclusive breastfeeding. Based on data in the Viqueque district hospital in Dili East Timor 2019, in 10 breastfeeding mothers, there were still many breastfeeding mothers who experienced blisters on the nipples . The design of this study included quantitative research with cross-sectional type of correlation design. The population in this study were all breastfeeding mothers who visited the Viqueque City Hospital in East Timor by taking the sample with the type of accidental sampling, amounting to 44 respondents. The variable in this research is the technique of breastfeeding and nipple milk with ordinal scale. This research was conducted in December 2019 until July 2020. In this study analyzed by contingency coefficient test with α o, 05. The results of the study after being tested with contingency coefficient obtained p-value = 0.008 < α = 0.05 (p-value <α) which means that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that there is a relationship between breastfeeding techniques and nipple milk nipples. Incorrect position in breastfeeding is a natural thing that occurs early in the breastfeeding period. Both mother and baby are in the learning stage. If the position is improperly attempted, the position is replaced until finally I find the right position. As time goes by, mother will become professional until finally she can find the right position for mother and baby. When the position is right, surely the mother's nipples will not blister.

Abstract

Hypertension is a condition where the blood vessels have high blood pressure against the pressure of the artery walls when the blood is pumped by the heart throughout the body. The higher the blood pressure, the harder the heart works. The risk of hypertension with a BMI is two to three times higher than that of a normal or thin body weight. This study aims to determine the relationship between age and body mass index (BMI) score with blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Correlation research design with a cross sectional approach on 1-31 August 2023. The population of all hypertensive patients in the Seruni Room at Dolopo Hospital is 35 patients with a sample size of 35 respondents. Sampling uses Accidental Sampling. Independent variables: Age using a questionnaire and Body Mass Index (BMI) using a weight and height observation sheet and the dependent variable Blood Pressure using a Blood Pressure Observation Sheet. The results of the Pearson product moment test show that the p value for age and systolic blood pressure is 0.000 and the Pearson correlation is 0.659, so there is a strong relationship between age and systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The results of the Pearson product moment test show that the p value for age and diastolic blood pressure is 0.000 and the Pearson correlation is 0.647, so there is a strong relationship between age and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The results of the Pearson product moment test show that the p value of the BMI score with systolic blood pressure is 0.003 and the Pearson correlation is 0.483, so there is a relationship between BMI score and systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients with a moderate relationship. the results of the Pearson product moment test show that the p value of the BMI score with diastolic blood pressure is 0.002 and the Pearson correlation is 0.513 so that there is a relationship between the BMI score and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients with a moderate relationship. Obesity can cause hypertension through various mechanisms, obesity occurs due to an increase in plasma volume and cardiac output which will increase blood pressure. So it is hoped that hypertensive patients maintain their diet and activity so that their body weight is in the normal category.

The population in this study was postpartum mothers for an average of 5 months (January to May 2023) totaling 91 respondents, the sample size was 30 postpartum mother respondents using an incidental sampling technique, the research variable was the level of independence of postpartum mothers in meeting their self-care needs. Data collection uses a questionnaire. Based on the research results, the research results of 30 respondents can be seen. The majority, namely 17 respondents (57%) have the category of independence, dependency, almost half, namely 9 respondents (30%) have the category of independence requiring help and a small portion, namely 4 respondents (13%) has the independence of the independent category to fulfill postpartum self-care needs. The results of the study stated that the majority, namely 17 respondents (57%), had the independence category to fulfill their self-care needs. This is influenced by the mother's type of birth SC (Section Caesarea), the 1st day of postpartum, the mother's education, the housewife's job and the mother having never received any information. Therefore, nurses provide encouragement and motivation so that mothers are more independent in meeting their postnatal self-care needs.
