Background: Failure to comply with antihypertensive medication risks more serious complications. Researchers examined interactive media to increase compliance with hypertension sufferers effectively. Methods: The research was carried out with a case-control design. The research sample was taken using non-probability sampling, namely 50 people in the intervention group and 50 in the control group. Before the intervention was carried out, all respondents underwent initial measurements. The final measurement was carried out approximately 1.5 months after the intervention. Bivariate analysis used the Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. To analyze the effectiveness of interactive media using the N-Gain Score test. Results: After the intervention, there were significant differences between the intervention and control groups regarding knowledge (p=0.000), family support (p=0.000), and compliance with hypertension sufferers (p=0.000). There was an increase in compliance in both the intervention and control groups, but the increase in the intervention group was higher. Based on the N-Gain Score test, in the intervention group, there was an increase in knowledge of 75.04%, family support of 64.36%, and compliance of 75.63%. Meanwhile, in the control group, the increase in knowledge was 34.60%, family support 32.84%, and compliance 19.38%.

Background: Nutrition label is part of public health nutrition intervention, but it seldom studied in Indonesia. It is essential to measure the relationship between nutrition labels and nutrition knowledge to understand its impact, especially among adolescents. Peers and social life encourage adolescents to choose specific actions, including food and drink, which affects their nutrition status. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design on 404 respondents in Semarang City. The instrument used was the Comprehensive General Nutrition and Nutrition Label Questionnaire (CGN2LQ). Data analysis includes univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. The statistical test used is the correlation test to determine the correlation between nutrition knowledge and nutrition label use for adolescents in Semarang City. The analysis showed a significant relationship between nutrition knowledge and nutrition label use (p<0.05). Results: The direction of the correlation is positive or unidirectional, meaning that the higher the nutrition knowledge of adolescents, the higher the use of nutrition labels on packaged products. The test results showed that the strength of the correlation was weak (r=0.333). The significant correlation but weak strength means that the correlation was statistically significant but not practically relevant. Conclusions: There is a need to increase the knowledge of nutrition in the adolescent age group to improve the habit of using nutrition labels on packaged products to determine the choice of packaged food and beverage consumed.

Background: The increase in the dengue mortality rate in Indonesia and its risk factors which must be addressed immediately. Brebes Hospital, a hospital that is the primary referral for health centers and clinics in Brebes Regency, has a dengue mortality rate (Case Fatality Rate) of 7.88%, contributing to the first death rate in Brebes Regency. Data related to dengue deaths, such as comorbidities and hematocrit levels in dengue patients, were unavailable at the provincial and Brebes district levels, especially at Brebes Hospital. This study aims to determine the determinants of dengue death in inpatients at Brebes Hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study used medical record data of dengue inpatients from September 2021 to August 2022, with as many as 138 respondents using a simple random sampling technique. The research instrument is an observation sheet, including age, gender, incidence of thrombocytopenia, hypotension, hematocrit levels, hemoglobin levels, diabetes mellitus status, hypertension status, comorbidities, and LOS. The data were analyzed in univariate, bivariate with the chi-square test, and multivariate with a logistic regression test. Results: The bivariate analysis results showed that the variables of hypertension status, DM status, thrombocytopenia, hematocrit levels, and the presence of comorbid diseases were associated with dengue mortality (p<0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that after controlling for other variables, the risk of comorbid diseases was significant 27.54 times (p-value <0.001; AOR= 27.54; 95% CI= 7.21-105.07), and hematocrit levels were at risk of 4.96 times increasing dengue mortality (p-value = 0.005; AOR= 4.69; 95% CI= 1.59-13.83). Conclusion: Hematocrit levels and the presence of comorbid diseases are critical determinants of dengue case mortality. The central comorbid diseases are hypertension, diabetes, and stroke. These two factors must be the primary concern of the clinicians in charge of patients in anticipation of an emergency.

Background: Long working hours, poor working conditions, and irregular sleep patterns increase the risk of burnout in freight truck drivers. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a procedure to relax muscles. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation on truck drivers. Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design. 60 truck drivers working in Belawan Port were given PMR video tutorials and underwent PMR therapy for two months. The researcher used the standard KAUPKK questionnaire to measure subject fatigue. The data were tested using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. Results: With a z score (-5.798) greater than the z-table value (-1.645) and a p-value of 0.000, it can be concluded that there are differences in complaints of fatigue among truck drivers before and after PMR. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that the fatigue of truck drivers can be reduced by PMR therapy.

Background: This cross-sectional study examines sociodemographic characteristics and conspiracy beliefs among vaccinated and unvaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: 317 Italian-speaking participants were surveyed online, categorized by vaccination status. Sociodemographic variables were compared, and an exploratory factor analysis assessed conspiracy beliefs. Results: Of 217 vaccinated and 100 unvaccinated participants, differences in demographics and vaccine-related attitudes were observed. Vaccinated individuals sought more information online and had lower conspiracy beliefs than unvaccinated individuals. The exploratory factor analysis revealed a single factor, which was found to be significantly higher among unvaccinated participants, suggesting a correlation between vaccine hesitancy and belief in conspiracy theories. Conclusion: Addressing conspiracy beliefs may help increase vaccination rates in Italy. The study's limitations and implications for future research are discussed.
