Abstract

Heart health is a crucial aspect of maintaining the quality of life in the elderly, as the risk of cardiovascular disease increases with age. A healthy diet consisting of balanced nutrition, low saturated fat, low sodium, and high fiber has been proven to play a significant role in maintaining cardiovascular function. This study aims to analyze the effect of a healthy diet on heart health in elderly individuals. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was applied to 120 respondents aged ≥ 60 years at Puskesmas X. Data were collected through a dietary pattern questionnaire and heart health assessments, including blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and body mass index. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression tests to examine the relationship and effect of diet on heart health variables. The results showed that a healthy diet had a significant positive effect on heart health in the elderly (p < 0.05), where elderly individuals who regularly consumed fruits, vegetables, fish, and whole grains tended to have normal blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels. These findings emphasize the importance of adopting a healthy diet as a preventive strategy against heart disease in older adults. The study recommends continuous nutrition education and dietary guidance programs to improve heart health among the elderly.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the major global health problems that increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality. Non-pharmacological approaches such as relaxation techniques and aromatherapy have been considered effective in helping to reduce blood pressure. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the application of slow deep breathing (SDB) combined with chamomile aromatherapy and changes in blood pressure among individuals with hypertension. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test post-test approach without a control group was employed. The study involved 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. The SDB intervention was conducted for 10 minutes accompanied by chamomile aromatherapy inhalation via a diffuser, administered once daily for seven consecutive days. Blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer before and after the intervention. Data analysis using a paired t-test demonstrated a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (p = 0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.003) following the intervention. The mean reduction in systolic blood pressure was 8.4 mmHg, while diastolic blood pressure decreased by 5.2 mmHg. These findings indicate that the combination of SDB and chamomile aromatherapy is effective in reducing blood pressure, possibly through the mechanisms of lowering sympathetic nervous system activity and the relaxation effects of volatile chamomile components. This intervention is recommended as a complementary therapy option for hypertensive patients to support conventional medical treatment.

Abstract

The postpartum period represents a critical phase of physical and psychological adaptation for mothers, including changes in sexual function. Physiological alterations, psychological conditions, and social factors may influence the quality and satisfaction of sexual relationships after childbirth. This study aims to analyze the risk determinants associated with the sexual function index among postpartum women. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study sample consisted of mothers within 6 weeks to 6 months postpartum, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the standardized Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire along with demographic and clinical data sheets. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test, while multivariate analysis employed logistic regression to identify dominant risk factors. The results showed that maternal age, parity, mode of delivery, fatigue level, and psychological conditions (including symptoms of postpartum depression) were significantly associated with FSFI scores (p < 0.05). Among these, psychological factors were identified as the most dominant determinants of decreased sexual function. These findings highlight the importance of adopting a holistic approach in postpartum care that incorporates sexual counseling, fatigue management, and mental health screening. Integrated interventions are expected to improve quality of life and intimate relationships among postpartum couples.

Abstract

Adolescent obesity is a growing public health problem that contributes to the risk of degenerative diseases in adulthood. One of the effective interventions to address obesity is nutrition education, which aims to improve adolescents’ knowledge and skills in selecting and consuming healthy foods. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of nutrition education in reducing body weight among obese adolescents. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach was employed in the intervention group. The sample consisted of 40 obese adolescents selected using purposive sampling. The nutrition education intervention was conducted for 8 weeks through interactive lectures, group discussions, and individual counseling sessions, covering topics such as balanced nutritional needs, portion control, healthy food selection, and the importance of physical activity. Body weight was measured before and after the intervention and analyzed using a paired t-test. The results showed a significant decrease in body weight in the intervention group (p < 0.05), with an average reduction of 2.3 ± 0.8 kg. These findings indicate that structured and continuous nutrition education can be an effective strategy for reducing body weight in obese adolescents. This study recommends integrating nutrition education programs into school and community activities as part of efforts to prevent and control adolescent obesity.

Abstract

Night shift workers are at a high risk of experiencing sleep disturbances, which can negatively affect the immune system. This study aims to analyze the relationship between sleep quality and immune function among night shift workers. A cross-sectional research design was employed with a total sample of 120 night shift workers in a manufacturing company. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while immune status was assessed through leukocyte count and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels. The results revealed that 68.3% of respondents had poor sleep quality, and 54.2% showed decreased immunity. Spearman correlation analysis indicated a significant relationship between sleep quality and immune function (p < 0.05), with workers who reported poor sleep quality tending to have lower immune function compared to those with good sleep quality. These findings emphasize the importance of sleep management and occupational health interventions to minimize the adverse effects of shift work on the immune system. The study recommends the implementation of sleep management programs and health promotion initiatives for night shift workers to maintain immune function and reduce vulnerability to diseases.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem with a steadily increasing prevalence globally and nationally. The prevention of this disease largely depends on the community’s level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward diabetes mellitus prevention. A descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The study population consisted of adults living in X area, with a total sample of 150 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire covering knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices related to diabetes mellitus. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test to examine relationships between variables. The results showed a significant association between knowledge level and preventive practices of diabetes mellitus (p < 0.05), as well as a positive association between attitudes and preventive practices (p < 0.05). This study concludes that higher knowledge and positive attitudes are associated with better preventive practices against diabetes mellitus. These findings are expected to serve as a basis for designing more effective community health education programs to reduce the risk of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases have shown an increasing prevalence in urban areas, including Mataram City. This study aims to analyze the risk factors contributing to the occurrence of NCDs among the population of Mataram City. An analytical cross-sectional design was employed with respondents aged ≥18 years selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and blood pressure as well as blood glucose examinations. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the associations between risk factors (dietary patterns, physical activity, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, and body mass index) and the occurrence of NCDs. The results showed that high-fat dietary patterns (OR=2.15; 95%CI:1.34–3.44), low physical activity (OR=1.87; 95%CI:1.21–2.90), smoking habits (OR=1.65; 95%CI:1.10–2.47), and obesity (OR=2.72; 95%CI:1.68–4.40) were significantly associated with NCD occurrence (p<0.05). These findings highlight the importance of community-based promotive and preventive interventions to reduce NCD risk factors in Mataram City.

Abstract

Nutritional problems among children under five remain a major public health challenge in rural areas, including Lombok Barat. The Integrated Health Post (Posyandu Terpadu) serves as a strategic government program focusing on monitoring child growth and nutritional status through basic health services at the village level. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Integrated Health Post program on the nutritional status of children under five in Sandik Village, Lombok Barat. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study sample consisted of 120 children aged 6–59 months, selected using purposive sampling based on their participation in Posyandu activities. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements (weight, height, and indices W/A, H/A, and W/H) and structured interviews with mothers. The findings revealed a significant difference in the nutritional status of children who regularly attended the Integrated Health Post compared to those who rarely attended (p < 0.05). Regular attendees showed an improvement of 21.7% in achieving normal nutritional status compared to the non-regular group. These results indicate that the Integrated Health Post program plays a vital role in improving child nutrition in rural communities, particularly through growth monitoring and nutrition education for parents. In conclusion, the sustainability and optimization of Integrated Health Post activities are essential strategies for preventing malnutrition and stunting in rural areas.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a global health problem characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. Blood glucose control does not rely solely on pharmacological therapy but also requires non-pharmacological interventions, one of which is nutrition education programs. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of nutrition education programs in controlling blood glucose levels among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group approach was employed. The study sample consisted of 60 patients, divided into an intervention group (n=30) and a control group (n=30), selected using purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of a 4-week intensive nutrition education program, covering topics such as balanced diet, selection of complex carbohydrate sources, portion management, and the importance of physical activity. The results revealed a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose levels in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Moreover, patients’ knowledge and dietary adherence in the intervention group significantly improved after receiving the education program. These findings demonstrate that nutrition education effectively enhances patients’ knowledge while supporting blood glucose control. In conclusion, nutrition education programs can serve as a complementary strategy for the comprehensive management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
