Kalium adalah analit yang penting karena jika ada kekurangan atau terlalu banyak kalium, itu akan menyebabkan kematian seseorang, itulah alasan mengapa kesalahan dalam pengukuran kalium dapat membuat kondisi serius bagi pasien jika terapi berdasarkan pada hasil laboratorium tidak akurat. Keadaan hemokonsentrasi sampel dapat mempengaruhi hasil akhir yang diperoleh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui teknik aplikasi Tourniquet terhadap kadar kalium, dimana penggunaan Tourniquet yang kurang tepat juga dapat menyebabkan hemokonsentrasi sampel yang dapat meningkatkan kadar kalium dalam serum. Penelitian ini adalah eksperimental laboratorium yang menggunakan serum dari subjek. Semua data kemudian diolah secara statistik dengan T-Test berpasangan. Hasil penelitian adalah rata-rata kadar kalium dengan teknik Tourniquet yang dilepaskan tepat setelah vena dapat diakses adalah sekitar 3,86 mmol / L, lebih rendah dari intervensi kedua yang menggunakan aplikasi Tourniquet yang tidak dilepaskan sampai volume darah cukup, sekitar 4,05 mmol / L. Menurut hasil Uji T berpasangan, nilai p adalah 0,003 dengan signifikansi 2 tailed (α = 0,025) yang membuat p <α. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan kadar potasium antara dua teknik aplikasi turniket
Staying at home can increase behavior and decrease physical activity levels, which have been linked to poor survival rates. This study aims to look at people's behavior towards physical activity in their homes during the coronavirus 19 pandemic. The design was a quasi experimental pre and post design. The data analysis used was descriptive analysis to determine the frequency distribution based on knowledge, while the analytical used the Wilcoxon test. The results of the descriptive analysis found the characteristics of age, sex, and occupation. The most distribution based on age was found under 30 years 39 (70%). In this study it was found that there were more women with 34 (68%). Most of the people involved in this study were not working, as many as 82 people (41,0%). The normality test shows an abnormal and insignificant distribution in the Wilcoxon test. Physical activity should be gradual so as not to over-fatigue, muscle injury, or health problems, ranging from at least 30-45 minutes per day to a total of 150-300 minutes per week. The intensity of physical activity should vary according to the condition and physical age of each individual. Exercises should be to improve muscle tone and a program of resistance activities should be implemented to increase aerobic capacity. In conclusion, the community applies physical activity in their homes during the Covid-19 pandemi.
Covid-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory SyndromeCoronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) was declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. A total of70,736 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 3,417 deaths have been reported by theMinistry of Health (9 July 2020). Various steps have been taken to control the spreadof the Covid-19 pandemic that is currently happening in Indonesia, one of which ishealth promotion. During the Covid-19 pandemic, it was suggested that educationalmethods be better done online. So, this study is interested in assessing the effect ofeducational methods with online seminars through WhatsApps on the knowledge ofthe general public about the prevention of Covid-19 in vulnerable groups in the newnormal era. This study uses a research design quasi experimental pre and post testdesign by comparing the knowledge of respondents before and after observation.Observations were made when respondents attended online seminars on theprevention of covid-19 in vulnerable groups in the new normal era through theWhatsApp group. The population in this study were 471 people who were membersof the online seminar group carried out by the IKM-IKK FK Unsri department. In thisstudy, 100 respondents met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of theunivariate analysis regarding the characteristics of the respondents obtained anaverage age 29.78 years old, female (69.0%), same as Islam (92.0%), highly educated(75.0%) and not yet working (58.0%) including students and students. It was foundthat the level of respondents’ knowledge about Covid-19 increased from 87.0% to99.0%. Comparative analysis showed a significant change in knowledge about theprevention of Covid-19 in vulnerable groups in the new normal era of respondentsafter attending an online seminar, namely p=0.012. So, it can be concluded thatonline seminars have a significant effect on changing the knowledge of the generalpublic about the prevention of Covid-19 in vulnerable groups in the new normal era.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease that is still a major global health problem. Pulmonary TB cases are one of the co-morbidities of death for COVID-19 patients. The increase in the prevalence of TB patients and the increase in the number of cases and deaths of COVID-19 will certainly have an impact on patients and their families. The spread of COVID-19 worries the public, causing feelings of pressure and anxiety which are a common response from people who are affected (either directly or indirectly). The purpose of this activity is to describe the health status of pulmonary TB patients, both physical health and mental health in the working area of the Merdeka Palembang Health Center. The participants of this activity were 28 patients who were present at the Merdeka Palembang Health Center in November 2021. The results of this activity showed that the patient characteristics were mostly adults (20-60 years) as many as 21 people (75%), most of them were male 19 people (67.9%), 10 people with high school education (35.7%), work as laborers as many as 6 people (21.4%), body mass index mostly normal and underweight that is 10 people each (35.7%), most of them have poor knowledge 21 people (75%) and most of them do not experience anxiety as many as 22 people (78.6%), patients who experience mild anxiety 4 people (14.3%) moderate and severe anxiety each 1 person (3.6%). The results of the measurement of health status based on lipid profile examination showed that pulmonary TB patients had a mean cholesterol level of 141.53±31.42, an average triglyceride of 90.82±20.15, a mean HDL of 32.42±3.20, and an average LDL of 92.03. ±22.07.
Hypertension is one of the comorbidities found in COVID-19 patients. The severity of COVID-19 in comorbid hypertension is important to prevent by controlling risk factors and conducting early detection. Community coverage for early detection is still low due to low awareness of the importance of prevention. The purpose of this activity is to increase public knowledge through the provision of counseling regarding the prevention of COVID-19. The target audience for community service activities in this activity is hypertension patients in the working area of the Merdeka Palembang Health Center. The number of targets for this activity is 25 people. The method of implementing this activity is with lectures and discussions. Conduct pretest and posttest to assess knowledge before and before counseling regarding prevention of COVID-19 in people with hypertension. The results of this activity are characteristics of respondents based on age, most of them are in late adulthood (36-45 years) as many as 13 people (52%). Most of them are male many as 15 people (60%), high school education level or equivalent as many as 22 people (88%) and, most of them work as private employees as many as 12 people (48%). The results of the statistical test using the Wilcoxon p-value = 0.000, which show that there are differences in public knowledge before and after counseling regarding the prevention of COVID-19.
