Introduction: Prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia is 26.5% WHILEhile in Yogyakarta cases of hypertension as a cardiovascular disease that causes the highest deaths reached more than 80%, and the incidence rate is always increasing every year. From the results of interviews of 56 respondents and blood pressure measurement obtained 21 respondents who experienced hypertension. To overcome hypertension in elderly researchers combined two warm water foot soak therapy and deep breathing relaxation. The purpose of this research is to know the effectiveness of warm water foot soak therapy and deep breathing relaxation to blood pressure in elderly at Rumah Seni Seni Budi Dharma Yogyakarta. Methodology: This research is a quantitative research type, the method used quasi Experimental Desaign with pre and post test design control. Sampling using total sampling. Technique of collecting data by observation using digital sphygmomanometer. Data analysis using Paired simple t-test with significant value p <0,05. Result: The result of data analysis obtained by the respondent's blood pressure after the treatment therapies decreased significantly with pistol systolic and diastolic p value of 0.000. With an average systolic blood pressure difference before and after intervention of 22.71 mmHg and diastolic 11.94 mmHg. Discussion: There is a significant effect on decreasing systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and after treatment of warm foot bath and deep breath relaxation in hypertensive elderly at UPT Budi Dharma Yogyakarta Senior High School
The elderly and their caregivers are at higher risk from Coronavirus Disease-2019, particularly for elderly with chronic health conditions. To prevent the transmission of the virus, those elderly issued strict physical distance, restricting most interactions between the elderly and their caregivers. On the other side, caregivers can serve as crucial and trusted partners in the elderly’s care to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Hence, this study aims to analyze the knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP), and the role of caregivers in providing services to the elderly during the outbreaks. A descriptive quantitative study was conducted from May to June 2020. The survey was utilizing Google Forms in four cities in Indonesia. A total of 317 out of 400 participants had completed the survey. The knowledge of the COVID-19 score was 79.50%, attitude 92.11%, and practice 90.54%. The caregivers’ role in protecting the elderly from COVID’s infection was about 98.42%. They could continue their routine activities during physical distancing 84.54%, treated elderly by not going to the hospital (60.04%), not visited any crowded place, wore masks and washed their hand after activity (87.38%). They agreed that government would finally successfully control COVID-19 (90.22%). This study concluded that the knowledge, attitude, practice and role of caregivers on COVID-19 effectively prevents the caregivers neglecting the elderly during the COVID-19 outbreak. Future information on elderly care need to consider not just the risks of the virus, but also the healthy lifestyle.
The objective of research to identify the effects of art therapy on stress in elderly at BPSTW Yogyakarta Unit Budi Luhur. This method of research employed quantitative type of quasi experiment with pre test and post test method nonequivalent control group. The sampel size of 36 responden. Measurement of stress levels using DASS 42. The research conducted for 8 days. The first day of measure pre test, and second day art therapy began until day 8, and post test measure after art therapy was given on the last day. The effect of art therapy on stress of elderly was analyzed bivariate using t test paired & t test independent. The result using t test-paired in the intervention group indicated p value = 0,000 (p value<0,05), and the control group indicated p value 0,067 (p value<0,05). The result using t test-independent in post test of both groups in indicated p value = 0,000 (p value<0,05). Conclusion there is influence art therapy (drawing therapy) to stress at elderly in BPSTW Yogyakarta Unit Budi Luhur.
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Indonesia, the government also faces another health problem, namely dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The routine activities of the dengue management system have been significantly curtailed as government authorities concentrate more on containing the transmission of the COVID-19. This study aimed to describe vector control <em>Aedes sp.</em> during pandemic COVID-19, such as community activities in controlling breeding places, area risk, vector density and the determinant factors. This study was a community-based cross-sectional survey involving 136 households in the endemic area of Gondokusuman District, Yogyakarta, Indonesia using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data analysis was performed through simple and multiple logistic regression tests. Vector control for <em>Aedes sp.</em> breeding places during pandemic COVID-19 in the community are still low; the high level of vector density proves this based on House Index (HI): 44.1%, container index (CI): 57.4%, and Breteau Index (BI): 213.2%. This district is also at high risk to be the breeding places of <em>Aedes sp.</em> based on maya index (MI): 64.7%. The determinant factor that affects this condition is the lack of support by health workers/cadres during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The elderly have hypertension due to an increase in arterial pressure. Hypertension that is not treated properly can cause complications such as stroke, coronary heart disease, diabetes, kidney failure and blindness. One of the non-pharmacological treatments for hypertension in the elderly is citronella aromatherapy. Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) contains monoterpene alcohol such as linalool and geraniol, which function as analgesics, calm and balance stimulation, and have a vasodilator effect. Treatment of hypertension in the elderly at the research site is still limited to administering drugs (pharmacological therapy). The provision of non-pharmacological therapy to treat hypertension has not been carried out at the research site This study aimed to determine the differences in the effectiveness of citronella aromatherapy on blood pressure in hypertensive older people in Karet, Pleret, Bantul. This study used a Quasy experimental pre-post without control group design method. In addition, the researcher used the bivariate Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results obtained are p-value of 0.00, meaning there is a significant difference in the mean value before and after the citronella aromatherapy intervention was given. Therefore, it is hoped that this intervention can be used as a reference to reduce blood pressure in the elderly who have hypertension. Keywords: Citronella Aromatherapy; Blood Pressure; Elderly
