When listening to music, the body responds releasing dopamine from the body. The release of dopamine causes vasodilation of blood vessels so that it will affect a person's blood pressure. The standard length of time for Javanese langgam music therapy in previous studies was found to be different. Therefore, it is necessary to do research to compare its effectiveness.The purpose of this research to determine the effectiveness of Javanese langgam music therapy time on blood pressure in elderly persons with hypertension in Muara Rengas village. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with pre and post control design, the selection of respondents uses a non-probability sampling with a consecutive sampling method. The Wilcoxon test, Paired T-Test, Mann Whitney and Independent T-Test show there is an effect of Javanese langgam music therapy on blood pressure in elderly persons with hypertension in the 15-minute group with a systolic p value of 0.000 (<0.05) and a diastolic p value of 0.013; and in the 30-minute group with a p value of 0.008 (<0.05) and a diastolic p value of 0.029 (<0.05). There is no effectiveness difference on blood pressure after being given Javanese music intervention for 15 minutes and 30 minutes with a systolic p value of 0.320 (>0.05) and a diastolic p value of 0.576 (> 0.05). Based on research results there is no effectiveness difference between 15-minute and 30-minute Javanese langgam music intervention in elderly persons with hypertension.

Stres merupakan salah satu kondisi yang rentan dirasakan oleh setiap pasien DM. Upaya penanganan stres pada pasien DM masih rendah, khususnya melalui pengelolaan aktivitas fisik. Pengelolaan aktivitas fisik harian sangat penting pada pasien DM, melalui aktivitas fisik dapat melepaskan energi dari otot skeletal sehingga bisa mengontrol gula darah tinggi yang dapat memicu stres pada pasien DM. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dengan tingkat stres pada pasien DM. Jenis penelitian ini yakni kuantitatif menggunakan metode survei analitik dengan pendekatan secara retrospective. Jumlah sampel yang diteliti dari tanggal 13-27 Mei 2020 adalah 34 pasien DM. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik accidental sampling dengan pengumpulan data dari google form melalui aplikasi whatsapp. Penelitian ini menggunakan kuesioner IPAQ dan DASS. Analisis data menggunakan chi square. Hasil penelitian didapatkan sebagian besar responden kurang beraktivitas fisik yaitu 18 (52,9%.) responden. Paling banyak responden mengalami stres, dan berada pada kategori stres sedang yaitu 12 (35,3%) responden. Hasil uji statistik menggunakan chi square dengan nilai ρ value 0,002 (<0,05), sehingga disimpulkan ada hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dengan tingkat stres pada pasien DM di Puskesmas Gondokusuman 1 Kota Yogyakarta.

Mahasiswa keperawatan memiliki risiko yang lebih tinggi untuk mengalami stres dibandingkan  mahasiswa kesehatan lainnya. Belum pernah ada peneltian yang menggabungkan terapi meditasi dengan terapi musik suara alam untuk menurunkan stres pada mahasiswa keperawatan di Yogyakarta. Tujuan penelitian ntuk mengetahui pengaruh meditasi dengan suara alam pada mahasiswa keperawatan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian quasi-experiment dengan pendekatan pre dan post-test nonequivalent control group. Sampel dipilih menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling dan dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, masing-masing berjumlah 30 orang. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan DASS-42. Median skor stres pada kelompok perlakuan sebesar 11,00 pada pre-test sedangkan post-test sebesar 7,00. Di kelompok kontrol, median skor stres pre-test sebesar 10,00 dan median skor stres post-test sebesar 9,50. Uji Wilcoxon untuk menganalisis perbedaan skor stres pre dan post-test menghasilkan nilai p 0,000 di kelompok perlakuan dan pada kelompok kontrol menunjukkan nilai p 0,137. Meditasi menggunakan musik suara alam dapat menurunkan stres dan dapat menjadi terapi komplementer alternatif yang dapat dilakukan perawat. Kata kunci: meditasi, musik suara alam, stres, mahasiswa keperawatan MEDITATION WITH SOUND OF NATURE CAN REDUCE STRESS IN NURSING STUDENTSABSTRACTNursing students have a higher risk to experience stress than other medical students.

This is quasi-experiment research with a pre and post-test nonequivalent control group design. The samples were selected using consecutive sampling and divided into two groups, each was 30 respondents. The research instrument used was DASS 42. The pre-test median stress score in the intervention group was 11.00, and the post-test score was 7.00. In the control group, the pre-test median score was 10.00, and the post-test score of 9.50. Wilcoxon test used to analyze the difference of stress score in the intervention group (p-value = 0.000), and the difference in stress score in the control group (p-value = 0.137). Meditation using the sound of nature can reduce stress in nursing students and can be an alternative complementary therapy for nurses. Keywords: meditation, the sound of nature, stress, nursing students

Snack bar has a variety of nutrients and meets daily nutritional needs. Brown rice has high fiber levels, helps control blood sugar level. Objective of research to know the physical properties, level of preference, and proximate content of snack bars in various formulations of brown rice flour and peanuts. This type of research is Quasi experimental, using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 variations of brown rice flour A: 100%, B: 80%, C: 60%, and D: 50%.Result of research, Physical test of Snackbar was brown, flavored with brown rice flour, slightly sweet taste, and slightly soft texture. The most preferred Snackbar organoleptic test was snackbar D. The highest proximate, water content and carbohydrate test results were snackbar A, namely 25.57% and 58.83%. The highest ash content, fat content, protein content and fiber content of snackbar D were 2.2%, 15.49%, 11.63% and 1.00%. There are differences in color, there is no difference in smell, taste and texture of the four variations of the snackbar. The level of preference for color, smell, taste and texture is the highest at snackbar D.
