Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic non-infectious disease with complications such as diabetic foot, which has the potential for amputation if left untreated. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is a behavior-based theory that can be applied to DM patients including foot care to minimize risk. Some studies related to TPB particularly about physical activity and diet have been explored, however, studies on foot care are still lacking.Objective: This study aims to apply the Theory of Planned Behavior (Intentions, Attitudes, Subjective Norms and Behavioral Control) on the patient's foot care.Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study. There were 93 patients diagnosed with type 2 DM recruited at 9 public health centers (Puskesmas) using accidental sampling on April 2018. TPB-based foot care questionnaire from the IWGDF (International Working Group on Diabetic Foot) Diabetic Foot guidelines was used. Data were analyzed in the form of frequency distribution.Results: Of the total number of respondents, 25 males and 68 females with average age of 53.05 ± 8.04 years, approximately 87.1% of them have the intention to wear footwear according to size. The majority of patients think that washing feet every day is a form of good and positive practice. They also agreed that the family expects the patient to examine the presence of bone / joint protrusions independently and believes that monitoring the foot deformities performed by other DM patients is very important as well as having control that the patient can check for signs of boils in the legs and there is a high likelihood of blisters / sores if the socks used are not suitable.Conclusion: The majority of respondents have good intentions, positive attitudes, social support and behavioral controls for foot care.

Background: Hypertension remains a big challenge for people in Indonesia, especially in adults. Therefore, an effort to reduce high blood pressure is needed. Nigella sativa or known as habbatussauda is one of herbs that is assumed to be able to reduce high blood pressure.Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of nigella sativa oil on blood pressure in hypertensive adults.Method: A quasi-experimental research design with pretest-posttest with control group design. A total of 60 respondents were selected using simple random sampling technique, which 30 were randomly assigned in an intervention and a control group. Nigella sativa oil was given every day for three months. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA.Results: There was a significant effect of nigella sativa oil on changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p0.001).Conclusion: Nigella sativa oil is significantly reducing blood pressure among adults with hypertension. Therefore, nigella sativa oil can be used as an alternative therapy for hypertension.

Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are a disease that can cause death in infants in developing countries including Indonesia. Exclusive breastfeeding and formula milk and environment are factors that influence the incidence of ARI. This study aims for determine differences in infants aged 0-6 months in Lameuru public health center. The study uses a comparative descriptive method with a retrospective study approach. Until in this study were all infants aged 0-6 months. The total sample of 116 babies. The data used are secondary data take from medical records using observation sheets. Data analysis using chi square test. The results of this study showed that babies who were given formula milk experienced more ARI namely 30,2% while babies who did not experience ARI were given 34,5% exclusive breast milk. There is a difference between formula feeding and exclusive breastfeeding for the incidence of ARI p= 0,003 (p<0,005). It was concluded that there was difference between formula feeding and exclusive breastfeeding for the incidence of ARI in infants aged 0-6 months at the Lameuru public health center. It is recommended for nursing mothers to continue breastfeeding with exclusive breast milk to their babies until the age of 6 months.

Hipertensi atau tekanan darah tinggi adalah suatu peningkatan abnormal tekanan darah dalam pembuluh darah arteri. Prolanis  merupakan program pemerintah yang ditujukan kepada penderita penyakit kronis seperti hipertensi agar mampu mengontrol tekanan darahnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh senam prolanis terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pada penderita hipertensi di Wilayah Pesisir Puskesmas Soropia. Penelitian menggunakan metode Pre experimental dengan one group pre-test post-test. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh pasien hipertensi yang mengikuti senam  Prolanis  berjumlah 30 orang dengan jumlah sampel 30 orang yang dimabil secara Total Sampling. Variabel penelitian bebas penelitian adalah senam prolanis dan variabel terikat adalah tekanan darah. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji wilcoxon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pretest diperoleh rata-rata tekanan darah sistole adalah 160.10 mmHg dan diastole adalah 94.50 mmHg dan posttest rata-ratatekanan darah sistole adalah 151.47 mmHg dan diastole adalah 87.07 mmHg. Analisis uji wilcoxon menunjukkan bahwa untuk tekanan darah sistol diperoleh nilai p 0.001 < 0.05 dan tekanan darah diastole diperoleh nilai p value 0.001 < 0.05. Simpulan bahwa terdapat pengaruh senam Prolanis terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pada penderita hipertensi di wilayah pesisir Puskesmas Soropia
