Hipertensi merupakan salah satu bentuk penyakit kronis pada lansia. Perubahan fisiologis pada lansia mengindikasikan perlunya pendekatan lain untuk menangani hipertensi, seperti dengan menggunakan terapi herbal. Salah satu bentuk terapi herbal yang dapat digunakan untuk mengatasi hipertensi adalah daun salam. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh daun salam terhadap penuruan tekanan darah pada lansia dengan hipertensi di UPT PSTW Jember. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian pre eksperimental dengan pendekatan one group pre post test design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh lansia dengan hipertensi yang tinggal di UPT PSTW Jember sejumlah 45 orang. Responden diambil dengan teknik total sampling. Responden diberi air rebusan daun salam sebanyak 1 gelas, dua kali sehari selama 2 minggu. Tekanan darah responden diukur dengan menggunakan sphygmomanometer. Analisis statistik menunjukkan uji t test untuk tekanan darah sistolik adalah 0,000 dan 0,087 untuk tekanan darah diastolik. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa air rebusan daun salam berpengaruh terhadap penurunan tekanan darah sistolik dan tidak berpengaruh terhadap penurunan tekanan darah diastolik lansia dengan hipertensi. Oleh karenanya, daun salam dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu terapi herbal untuk menurunkan tekanan darah pada lansia dengan hipertensi. Kata kunci : lansia, hipertensi, daun salam
This study determined community knowledge, attitudes, and practices after COVID-19 socialization in Rambipuji and Suci Village, Jember District, East Java, Indonesia. This study used the analytic observational design study. As many as 40 people were given socialization about COVID-19 by gathering and online. The questionnaires were completed in two parts included before-socialization and after-socialization. The questionnaire data were analyzed descriptively by calculating frequency, percentage, and inferential statistics by t-test, Spearman correlation, and chi-square test. The data analysis used IBM SPSS version 23 software. The mean and standard deviation of percentage of knowledge pre-test, knowledge post-test, high attitude, moderate attitude, low attitude, very high practice, high practice, sufficient practice, and low practice were 58.33 ± 30.97, 77.70 ± 22.52, 62.5±21.7, 31±22.2, 6.5±17.1, 65±13.8, 32.3±13.8, 1.25±2.4, 1.25±1.8, respectively. Knowledge pre-test and post-test correlated 0.819 (p=0.001) and a t-test with p=0.003. Attitudes and practices correlated with p=0.001. Socialization of COVID-19 was useful to improve the community knowledge, attitudes, and practices in Rambipuji and Suci Village, Jember District, East Java, Indonesia that could prevent the transmission and inhibit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Furthermore, continuous encouragement of COVID-19 socialization in wide areas was recommended.
Introduction: Family perceptions on the role of parents and the growth of infants must be seriously considered by healthcare workers since they can affect the role of family development in taking care of the babies. A family that has optimally understood the role of their development as a parent will be able to give the appropriate care for the babies.Methods: The study aimed to find out the effects of a family-based Maternal Sensitivity Models (MSM) strategy for family perception optimization on the role of parents and the growth of infants. It used a quasi-experimental design with the samples of 50 families. The samples were obtained using purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed using dependent t-test.Results: It confirmed that the Family-Based Maternal Sensitivity Models (MSM) strategy significantly affects family perceptions on the role of parents with t-value 5.915 and p-value 0.000. MSM also significantly affects family perceptions on the growth infants with the t-value -11.257 and p-value 0.000.Conclusions: Maternal Sensitivity Models (MSM) can be well applied as one of the health models provided by healthcare workers to optimize parents’ perceptions and infants’ growth as well as to develop a competent family in giving care for their babies.
Introduction: The health condition of babies is the responsibility of mothers and the family. One effort to avoid a situation of pain in infants is by immunization. Early mothers with infant care experience is still lacking, need to support the family in order to have proper decision-making ability in the care of babies, one of which is immunization. Therefore, the right perception about immunization in infants is critical owned by the mother and the family. Objective: This study has the objective to explore the perceptions of early mothers and families about immunization approach to maternal sensitivity models. Methods: The research design was participatory research approaches (qualitative) and Participatory Action Reseacrh (PRA). The techniques of data collection was Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with 50 early mothers as the participants in Regional Health Center of Sumbersari and Sukorambi Jember who had babies. The sampling was done by using purposive sampling in March-August 2016. The data werethen analyzed using descriptive and qualitative methods. Results: The result showed the general condition of pain often experienced by babies are acute respiratory infections, diarrhea and febrile, although some cases of pneumonia occur. Health official are already running a baby care related programs such as immunization, immunization coverage has been good and meet the target. Perceptions of early mothers about immunizations include: to schedule and type of immunization tend to succumb to the health and family perception about immunization is likely to depend wife and health official. Conclusion: It is concluded that immunization coverage has been on target, but the perception of early mothers and families about immunization still needs to be improved. Recommendations in this research that suggested that synergism cooperation among health official, early mothers and families in the optimization of the perception about immunization. Keywords: Early Mothers and Family, Infant Immunization, Maternal sensitivity Models, Perception.
Introduction: The development of communication technology meets a siginificant advancement, and mobile phones are part of it. Mobile phones are used not only by adults but also by children, including elementary school age children. Children in using mobile phones have different behavior based on their social, economic and cultural differences. Some behaviors of children in using mobile phones have a risk of health problems. Objective: The purpose of the study was to characterize the behavior of the use of mobile phones in primary school age children which could potentially cause health problems. Methods: This is a descriptive study using cross-sectional design. The study involved 60 children and their parents in urban and rural elementary schools. Data were collected by questionnaire (there were 13 questions) using the Google form application (close ended questionnaire) from population taken by the nonprobability sampling method. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis. Results: The results found that the possession of mobile phones, lighting, place and duration of use mobile phones were behaviors that descriptively showed that there were differences between children from rural and urban elementary schools. Behavior of time using mobile phones, body position, alignment and distance of the mobile phone to the head or eye, the purpose, tool and the place where to use the cellphone, both groups have the same percentage. Conclussion: there are differences and similarities in behavior in using mobile phones between children from rural and urban elementary schools.
