Kejadian osteoporosis pada lansia dapat dicegah melalui perilaku hidup sehat. Perilaku hidup sehat didukung oleh pengetahuan. Salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan lansia adalah melalui penyuluhan kesehatan audio-visual. Kelebihan pendidikan kesehatan audio visual adalah membuat cara  berkomunikasi menjadi efektif, terjangkau, dan materi menarik perhatian serta mudah untuk dipahami. Hal ini akan lebih memudahkan pemberian informasi kepeda lansia mengingat lansia mengalami penurun pada kognitif, penglihatan dan pendengaran. Di Desa Karangbendo selama ini belum pernah dilakukan penyuluhan kepada lansia dengan topik osteoporosis. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk membuktikan secara ilmiah peningkatan pengetahuan lansia mengenai osteoporosis melalui pemberian pendidikan kesehatan dengan media audio visul di desa karangbendo bantul Yogyakarta. Jenis penelitian ini adalah  quasi experimental dengan rancangan one group pre and posttest. Total sampling dengan 42 lansia. Analisa data menggunakan paired sample t-test. Membandingkan pengetahuan lansia menggunakan kuesioner sebelum dan sesudah diberikan satu kali pendidikan kesehatan audiovisual. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan rerata pengetahuan sebelum diberikan pendidikan kesehatan sebesar 65.60 dan sesudah diberikan pendidikan menjadi 74.17 dengan nilai signifikasi 0.001 (P<0.05). Kesimpulannya ada peningkatan pengetahuan lansia mengenai osteoporosis melalui pemberian pendidikan kesehatan dengan media audio visul di desa karangbendo bantul yogyakarta.

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 patient's perception of the nurse's empathy attitude is a personal view of something which is a process of realizing something object or condition through the use of all sensory devices. Patient perception is important because perception is often used to assess the quality or quality of health services. The level of patient satisfaction which is the output of this perception can be used to evaluate service quality. The purpose of knowing the relationship between patients' perceptions of empathy nurses and patient satisfaction in Class III hospitalization in Sleman Hospital. The method in this study is a non-analytic descriptive experiment with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were 324 patients with 147 samples selected based on accidental sampling with consideration of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Analyzed by Spearman rank analysis. The results showed that patients' perceptions of empathy nurses were in a good category (75.6%). Patient satisfaction about empathy nurses was in the satisfied category (86.4%). The results of the Spearman Rank test show the correlation coefficient (rho) of 0.688 with significant value (ρ) of 0,000, smaller than the significant level of 0.05 (ρ <0.05). Conclusion: There is a relationship between patient perceptions about empathy for nurses and patient satisfaction.

Introduction: The examination of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) can be done by reviewing their complaints and through a capillary blood glucose level test to determine the value of their Random Blood Glucose Level. QRMA (Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer) is claimed to be able to check the patient’s bodily condition (including blood glucose) with an accuracy of 85%. The purpose of this study was to verify the validity of the QRMA tool and its accuracy by comparing the results of the anamnesis and the examination conducted using the capillary blood glucose test method.Methods: The research method used was a cross-sectional design. The total sample consisted of 44 respondents in the working area of the Community Health Centers in Yogyakarta with the risk factor being blood sugar level instability. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The main variable in this study was the value of the blood sugar level measured based on the coefficient value of the QRMA tool and the value of Random Blood Glucose obtained through the capillary blood glucose test.Results: The blood glucose value was not correlated significantly with the coefficient value of QRMA. The value of blood glucose when examined alongside the result of the respondent's anamnesis showed there to be a significant difference. The value of the QRMA coefficient when examined against the results from the history of the respondents showed no significant difference. Linear regression showed that the variables of height, body weight, and IMT had a correlation with the QRMA coefficient value.Conclusion: The QRMA tool was not able to provide a picture of the actual condition of the blood glucose level of the respondents when compared with the results of the anamnesis and the blood glucose value from the capillary blood glucose test. Non-invasive health measurement devices such as QRMA are not used by nurses as a standard for determining the health status of DM patients.
