Hypertension is one of the biggest problems that cause death because many are undiagnosed and hypertensive sufferers often experience asymptomatic events causing difficulty to know the causes of hypertension. Treatment of hypertension can perform by pharmacology and non-pharmacology. Non-pharmacological treatment may be in the form of aromatherapy. This study aimed to determine the effect of aqueous aromatherapy on the decrease of blood pressure in hypertensive patients at Royal Prima Hospital Medan in 2017. The study design was quasi-experiment with one group pretest-postest design provided with aromatherapy for 10 minutes. The population consisted of 28 people. The 10 people as sampling were drawn by a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was performed by interview and observation. The bivariate analysis used was paired sample t-test with a significance level of 0.05 (5%). The results showed that the level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure before aromatherapy aqueous treatment was 156.60 mmHg and 92.40 mmHg. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure after aqueous aromatherapy administration was 142.60 mmHg and 81.80 mmHg. Based on the results of statistical tests it was found that there was a difference in blood pressure between before and after aromatherapy, {systolic, p-value = 0.000 (p <0.05) and diastolic, p-value = 0.000 (p <0.05)}. The results of this study concluded that there is an effect of giving aqueous aromatherapy (Kananga odorata) on the decrease of blood pressure in hypertension patients at Royal Prima Hospital Medan in 2017. It is suggested that aqueous aromatherapy can be applied as an alternative therapy to lower blood pressure.

Menurut WHO Global Report diabetes merupakan masalah kesehatan yang penting bagi masyarakat. Diabetes Melitus bisa dikatakan suatu penyakit yang menjadi indung atau inangnya dari semua penyakit di dalam tubuh manusia pada umumnya. Diabetes Mellitus bisa mengakibatkan berbagai jenis penyakit lainnya. Komplikasi diabetes mellitus bisa timbul dari kepala hingga kaki, mulai dari penyakit jantung dan stroke, gagal ginjal yang menyengsarakan, hingga infeksi terutama pada kaki yang bisa berlanjut pada amputasi dan semua pada akhirnya bisa merengut nyawa. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah ekperimen semu. Dimana dalam penelitian ini peneliti ingin mengetahui sejauh mana efektivitas seduhan hangat kayu manis dalam pengurangan kagar gula darah pada penderita diabetes mellitus di Panti Jompo Yayasan Guna Budi Bakti Medan tahun 2021, menggunakan tehnik aksidental sampling. Populasi penelitian ini sebanyak 25 responden dan sampelnya 25 responden, data dalam penelitian ini dan alisis dengan uji Paired T test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa efektifitas dari mengkonsumsi seduhan hangat kayu manis mampu mengurangi kadar glukosa darah pengidap diabetes mellitus, dapat dilhat bahwa sebanyak 25 responden sebelum diberikan seduhan hangat kayu manis memiliki kadar glukosa darah yang meningkat, namun setelah dilakukan pemberian seduhan hangat kayu manis, kadar glukosa darah responden mengalami penurunan.

<p><em>Muscle weakness in stroke patients will affect muscle contraction. Muscle contraction  due to reduced blood</em><em> </em><em>supply</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>brain, thereby blocking the main nerves of the   brain</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>spinal</em><em> </em><em>cord . Blockage ofa oxygen and nutrientsto the brain causes serious</em><em> </em><em>health</em><em> </em><em>problems because it can cause hemiparesis and</em><em> </em><em>even death . The occurrence    ofa disturbances in the level ofa physical mobilization of patients is often caused by a movement in the form</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>bed rest. The</em><em> </em><em>ofa a weakened muscle</em><em> </em><em>condition associated with a lack ofa physical activity usually appear within a few days. Control ofa the brain  to   regulate muscle   movement has decreased function resulting in reduced muscle</em><em> </em><em>mass. This study</em>i<em>aims to determine the effectiveness ofa ROM (range of motion ) on muscle strength in stroke patients at the</em><em> </em><em>Royal</em>i<em>Prima Hospital in Medan. This study</em>i<em>used</em>i<em>a</em><em> quasi-experiment with one</em>i<em>group pre-posttest. The instrument used is  an observation sheet while the Wilcoxon test is used for testing. Prior to ROM training, most ofa the respondents ' strength was on a scale ofa 3 (67.9 %) and minority   muscle   strength was on a scale of 4 (10.7%). After doing ROM (Range of Motion) exercise there was an increase in muscle strength where the majority muscle strength on a scale ofa 4 was (45.5) and the muscle strength of the minority patient was on a scale ofa 5 (30.0%). There is an Effectiveness of</em>i<em>ROM</em>i <em>(Range</em> of <em>Motion) on Muscle Strength in Stroke Patients at the Royal Prima Hospital Medan in 2021 with p-value of</em> <em>0.004.</em></p><em>Keywords: <strong>ROM</strong>, <strong>Exercises , Muscle Strength</strong></em>

Stunting is a disruption of physical development that has passed with decreasing in the growth rate of children. Puskesmas Pancur Batu conducts stunting prevention through health promotion to increase knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about exclusive breastfeeding. The number of mothers giving exclusive breastfeeding only reached 44.9% (target 80%). The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of health promotions with leaflet media about exclusive breastfeeding on the knowledge and attitude of pregnant women in stunting prevention. The study design was quasi-experimental with a sample of 40 pregnant women. The study was conducted in October 2019 in Puskesmas Pancur Batu. The sampling technique is done purposively. Data were analyzed using independent t test. The results showed that before the pre-test, the average score of knowledge variables from the intervention group 6.60 and the comparison group 6.22, after the post-tes increased to 10.30 and 8.34. The average score of attitude variables from the intervention group was 4.04 and the comparison group was 4.44, after the post-test increased to 5.80 and 4.84. The results of the statistic test showed that health promotion influences the knowledge and attitude of pregnant women in preventing stunting before and after the intervention with p = 0.005 and p 0.028 <0.05. It is recommended that Puskesmas staff conduct health promotion through the distribution of leaflets to facilitate pregnant women in understanding the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding in an effort to prevent stunting.

Hipertensi merupakan salah satu penyakit yang paling mematikan atau sering disebut dengan sillent killer yg perlu mendapatkan perhatian khusus, pemberian rebusan daun salam merupakan salah satu pengobatan alternatif yang tidak mempunyai efek samping. Tujuan bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian rebusan daun salam terhadap penurunan tekanan darah tinggi. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian Pre experimental dengan pendekatan one group pre-post test design yaitu mengungkapkan sebab akibat dengan cara melibatkan satu kelompok subjek. Penelitian ini melakukan dua kali pengukuran tekanan darah yaitu pengukuran tekanan darah dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah diberikan rebusan daun salam. Penelitian dilakukan di Panti Jompo Yayasan Guna Budi Bakti Medan pada bulan Agustus 2020. Sample dalam penelitian adalah lansia yang menderita hipertensi berdasarkan data dari rekam medik. Hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan adalah adanya pengaruh antara pemberian rebusan daun salam terhadap tekanan darah pada lansia dengan nilai p sebesar 0,000. Kesimpulan penelitian adalah ada pengaruh pemberian rebusan daun salam terhadap tekanan darah.
