Introduction: Vital signs are important physiological signs of the body. Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is an experience of calm and tingles, a tingling sensation like electricity radiating from the head and neck, which affects the autonomic nervous system. This study aims to determine heart rate changes, blood pressure, and respiratory rate before and after watching the ASMR video.Methods: Double-blind pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 30 students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All samples were asked to rest for 30 minutes before treatment and then watch the ASMR video for 3 minutes. Heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate data were calculated before and after treatment. The data analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon test.Results: Vital sign data of all samples before treatment were obtained within normal limits. After watching the ASMR video, the results of data analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed that there were significant differences in heart rate (p = 0.013), systolic blood pressure (p = 0.026), and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.00) after watching the ASMR video. While the p-value on the respiratory rate data is 0.349 which means there is no significant difference in the respiratory rate after watching the ASMR video.Conclusion: In this study, evidence has been obtained that watching ASMR videos can reduce heart rate and blood pressure. However, the respiratory rate did not give significant results because several factors. More research is needed to determine the exact effects of watching ASMR videos.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of providing education on increasing knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of medical officers in solid medical waste management at the Regional General Hospital dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The research design used was a quasi experiment with the Wilcoxon comparison test. The research sample was the medical officer of dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh as many as 94 people who were divided into treatment and control groups. Knowledge, attitude, and the behavior of medical personnel was measured by interview using a questionnaire. The results showed that there was an effect of educational interventions on increasing the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of medical personnel in the management of medical solid waste in the treatment and control groups (p <0.05). The results of the Wilcoxon test between the treatment groups on knowledge, attitudes, and behavior before and after the educational intervention showed a significant difference (p = 0.000), whereas in the control group between before and after the educational intervention did not show a difference with the p-value of knowledge (p = 0.102); attitude and behavior (p = 0.157). In the control group, the level of knowledge, attitudes and behavior tends to remain at a sufficient level. The conclusion of this study shows that educational interventions can provide an increase in the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of medical personnel in implementing solid medical waste management at dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh.
