Rheumatoid arthritis is a musculoskeletal disease that affects many people, this disease causes many complaints including, pain in the legs, knees and various other joints. One of the non-pharmacological measures that can be done to reduce the intensity of pain is warm ginger compresses. Ginger contains essential oils with active ingredients school, gingerol, paradol and zingerone which are warm and can promote blood circulation. This study aims to determine the effect of ginger warm compresses on the reduction in pain intensity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This type of research is a pre-experiment with one group design pre-post test design. This research was conducted in May-2017. The samples in this study were 15 people who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis pain with consecutive sampling data collection techniques. The results showed the intensity of rheumatoid arthritis pain before the warm ginger compress (pre-test) was average with moderate pain intensity. While the intensity of pain after a warm ginger compress (post-test) is average with mild pain intensity. Based on Wilcoxon's alternative paired t-test, p-value 0,000 (<0.05) means that there is a significant influence between the effect of warm ginger compresses on the decrease in pain intensity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It is hoped to further develop several variables and add a long time to the administration of warm ginger compresses in rheumatoid arthritis so that the results of research on ginger warm compresses to reduce pain intensity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis are more optimal and can provide more accurate research results.
Obesity problems in children will be at high risk of obesity in adulthood and potentially experience various causes of significant risks for some chronic diseases associated with diets, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer.This research aims to determine the effect of health education based on social media to the pattern of physical activity and body mass index (BMI) adolescent overweight and obesity of each group and between groups in Bulukumba, Indonesia. The design of this research is the "Quasi Experiment," which is a pretest and post-test wa ith control group design. The population in this study were overweight and obese adolescents in Bulukumba Regency. The number of samples is 91 people divided into 4 (four) groups. The analysis used is the Friedman test, Kruskal Wallis, repeated ANOVA, and one-way ANOVA. The intervention was given for six months through health education with a lecture media booklet in groups 1 and 2, leaflets in group 3, and lecture method alone without media in group 4. In groups 1 and 2, we were given re-education through the WhatsApp application in group 1 and through messages in group 2. Periodic time series measurements were taken for six months on the variables of physical activity pattern and BMI. The results showed an effect of health education on the changing of activity patterns in each and between groups. There is an effect of health education on BMI changes in groups of 1,2 and 3 and between groups, but there is no influence on group 4. This study recommends to health workers (nurses, nutritionists, and health promotion) the use of booklets and utilizing social media (WhatsApp) in providing health education related to obesity.
In this paper, we found the evidence of the effect of interest rates, inflation and Jakarta Composite Index on stock returns of digital-based mass media companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Objects have taken as a sample of 5 digital-based mass media companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a research period from July 2014 to June 2019. These objects are MNCN, ABBA, SCMA, LPLI, and TMPO. Samples were taken by a purposive method with the criteria of companies that have been registered before the study period and have a balanced company size. The analytical method used is path analysis with multiple linear regression models. Research data shows that MNCN, SCMA and LPLI stock prices tend to weaken, while ABBA and TMPO stock prices tend to strengthen from July 2014 to June 2019. The analysis results showed that the interest rate variable (X1) had a negative and significant effect on stock returns (Y1). The inflation variable (X2) had a positive and not significant effect on stock returns (Y1), the IHSG variable (X3) had a positive and significant effect on stock returns (Y1). Therefore, investors need to look at JCI’s movements to optimize the return of stock digital media-based companies.
Elderly is the final stage of development in the human life cycle. In the elderly there is an anatomic decline and function of the organs. Decreased function of blood vessels can cause hypertension. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition where when the blood pressure in the blood vessels increases, the measurement results are 140/90 mmHg. One that affects the reduction in hypertension without drugs is exercise that is not too heavy on a regular basis such as hypertension gymnastics. Hypertension or elderly exercise is a form of aerobic exercise that is beneficial for the elderly. Regular elderly exercise can help maintain blood pressure balance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hypertension exercise on reducing blood pressure in the elderly in the work area of the Bontonyeleng Health Center. The design of this study used a pre-experimental research design (One-group pre-post test design) obtained a sample of 30 people by using a sampling technique that is Nonprobability sampling with incidental sampling approach. The results of the normality test show that the data are not distributed so that they do not meet the paired T test and an alternative test is used is the Wilcoxon test. P value obtained is 0,000 (p <0.05) on systolic and diastolic blood pressure, so Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. It can be concluded that there is an effect of hypertension gymnastics on the decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the elderly in the work area of the Bontonyeleng Health Center. And it is advisable to have information about hypertension and further increase the frequency of exercise in the elderly at least 2-3 times a week to get better results.
Based on the amount of data obtained from Bonto Bangun health center wherein 2015 there were only 305 people suffering from hypertension, in 2016 there were 236 people, and in 2017 there was an increase in hypertension, namely 356 people and in 2018 for 3 months there were 70 people suffering from hypertension. The purpose of this study is to know the effect of health education on blood pressure reduction behavior in hypertensive patients in the work area of Puskesmas Bonto Bangun Kec, Rilau Ale, Bulukumba District. This type of research is a pre-experimental study with a pre-experimental approach: one group pretest-posttest design. Simple random sampling data collection techniques with the number of samples in this study as many as 36 respondents through questionnaire sheets. Data analysis using paired t-test with significance level α = 0.05. The results of data analysis showed that the behavioral variable p = 0,000, it can be concluded that there is an effect of health education on blood pressure reduction behavior in hypertensive patients in the work area of Puskesmas Bonto wake. Conclusion there is the influence of health education on blood pressure reduction behavior in hypertensive patients. Suggestions are expected to be given health education through regular counseling or other media by relevant agencies especially regarding hypertension
