Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke. Hence, it needs therapy. There are complementary therapies that can reduce high blood pressure. Music provides a relaxing effect so that blood vessel dilates and blood pressure drops. Humor therapy can provide a relaxation response and decrease blood pressure. Prayer therapy has a positive effect on body physiology that can lower blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of combination of music, humor, and prayertherapy on blood pressure. This study used true experiment pre and post control group design. The number of samples in this study were 131 respondents with primary hypertension on the elderly in Banyumas Regency. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Wilcoxon was used to test the difference of blood pressure before and after the intervention in one group, while the difference test among groups employed Mann Whitney test. The result indicated that respondent’s hypertension is categorized into moderate. There is difference on the mean of blood pressure before and after SIKKOMODO therapy and combination of music, humor, and humor therapy. There is a significant difference in term of systolicblood pressure betweentreatment and control group, and there is no difference on the systolic blood pressure between the two groups.
Background: The pandemic makes online learning methods the right choice so that the learning process can continue. The learning methods in universities generally consist of the lecture/lecturer method and the skill lab method. The online practicum method is packaged in audio-visual form but has the disadvantage that the opportunity for red-demonstration cannot be carried out optimally due to limited tools and materials as well as supporting facilities. This is one of the factors that can affect student learning motivation to decrease. Methods: This study used a retrospective descriptive research design. The population to be studied is the students of the Department of Nursing at Jenderal Soedirman University using the Stratified Random Sampling technique and obtained 183 respondents. This study uses a questionnaire regarding the ARCS-V Motivation model (Keller 2016) which has been modified. Data analysis to be carried out is univariate analysis. Results: The results of the study that students' learning motivation towards online learning was included in the low category, quite a lot, namely there were 27 students (14.75%). 133 students (72.68%) with moderate learning motivation and 23 students (12.57%) with high learning motivation. Conclusion: The results showed that students' learning motivation towards online learning was included in the medium-high category range. This shows that online practicum can increase learning motivation. Online practicum is a solution for practical learning methods in the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
