Hypertension is also understood as the "silent killer" as the symptoms of hypertension are frequently not experienced by the sufferer, hence, the majority of hypertension patients are unaware that they suffer from hypertension. Uncontrolled hypertension can harm multiple organs. Hypertension cannot be cured; however, it can be managed such that blood pressure stays within normal limits. Changes in lifestyle and pharmacological therapy are employed to control hypertension. The objective of this study is to investigate the association between hypertension patients' characteristics and amount of awareness about lifestyle in controlling hypertension. A descriptive analytic design with a cross sectional approach was administered in this investigation. This study included all hypertension patients who visited the Cibubur Village Health Center. Purposive sampling was utilized in this study, yielding 115 respondents. The analysis technique involved the Chi-Square test. Results: There was a relationship between age and lifestyle (p=0.044), the last education and lifestyle (p = 0.017), and the level of knowledge with lifestyle (p=0.000). Meanwhile, gender, occupation, and family history of hypertension did not possess a significant relationship with lifestyle in controlling hypertension. Future studies are suggested to examine the role of external environmental support in influencing lifestyle to control hypertension.
Banyak faktor yang mempengaruhi aktivitas angiogenesis plasenta, misalnya VEGF dan oksigenasi dalam plasenta. Pada awal kehamilan normal -hCG meningkatkan aktivitas VEGF untuk merangsang angiogenesis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kadar -hCG pada kultur plasenta dengan aktivitas angiogenik plasenta preeklampsia. Sampel plasenta diambil dari 10 plasenta wanita dengan preeklampsia dan 10 kontrol (wanita dengan kehamilan normal). Semua subjek bersedia berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini dan menandatangani informed consent. Konsentrasi -hCG dalam supernatan kultur plasenta diukur dengan Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay (MEIA) dan aktivitas angiogenik plasenta diukur dengan mengukur migrasi sel endotel menuju eksplan plasenta (skor 0-4). Hasil menunjukkan median skor aktivitas angiogenik plasenta pada preeklampsia lebih tinggi secara bermakna dari kontrol (p<0,05). Konsentrasi -hCG dalam kultur plasenta preeklampsia lebih tinggi secara bermakna dari plasenta kehamilan normal (p<0,001). Konsentrasi -hCG mempunyai korelasi positif dengan aktivitas angiogenik plasenta baik pada preeklampsia (r=0,50) maupun kehamilan normal (r=0,57). Walaupun korelasi ini lemah, bagaimanapun juga -hCG merupakan salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi aktivitas angiogenik plasenta.
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a long-term disease characterized by increased blood sugar levels. The number of people with diabetes mellitus in Indonesia continues to increase from year to year. Diabetes control can be done with self care management which can be influenced by the characteristics of diabetics, knowledge, attitudes and behavior. Objective: To find out about the relationship between characteristics and knowledge with self care management in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Research Methods: Quantitative research with analytical descriptive type and using a cross sectional approach. The population of this study was all patients with type II diabetes mellitus in the Kemyoran District Health Center aged 45 years and over with a sample of 93 respondents and using purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was a questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: In this study, the results of the Chi-Square test showed that the variables of age (p=0.013), gender (p=0.764), education (p=0.003), duration of diabetes mellitus (p=0.012) and knowledge (p= 0.005 Conclusion: there is a relationship between age, education, duration of diabetes mellitus and knowledge with self care management of patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
Nursing education curriculum plays a significant role in preparing nursing graduates to begin clinical practice in the field. It is important to develop several learning methods, like skill-lab practice media, in order to enable students to practice more often before engaging in actual clinical practice and obtain a simulated picture that is close to reality. The objective of this research is to determine the effectiveness of a portable postoperative incision wound model on the clinical skills of nursing students. The quasi-experimental research method used pre and posttest evaluation in control and intervention groups. The intervention group used a portable incision wound care model during practice. Stratified random sampling was performed as a sampling method with 45 students in each group. The data were analyzed using dependent and independent t-tests, with a significance value of 0.05. All students scored above the passing grade limit (2.76). The mean difference among students using the portable wound care model increased by 0.31 and was higher than that in the control group, with an increase in the difference value by 0.26. The p value in both groups is 0.001 Keywords: Clinical skills, Portable wound model, Clinical skill-lab, Instructional media
