Introduction: As many as 1 billion people in the world or about 1 in 4 adults suffer from hypertension. Many people with hypertension still ignore their disease, even though if left untreated it will lead to further complications. This is because knowledge about hypertension affects the quality of life for people with hypertension. Method: This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the physical activity of people with hypertension. This study used a quantitative analytic study with a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique used proportional random sampling. The study population was 100 people, and a total sample of 50 people. The research instrument used an accurate knowledge questionnaire of 20 items to see the level of knowledge and a physical activity questionnaire on the SF-12 to see the quality of life. Result: The results showed that the respondents had more knowledge than the average yaiu as many as 32 people (64%). While the physical activity of respondents in the good category was 25 people (50%). Conclusion: Based on the results of the analysis, the conclusion is that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and physical activity in patients with hypertension as evidenced by the value of ρ value =0.002 and the value of chi square (X2) = 9.810.
Stroke was a disturbance in part or all brain function caused by abnormal blood flow to the brain, disrupting bodily functions such as muscle weakness. One of the efforts that could be done to overcome muscle weakness in stroke patients was the Range Of Motion (ROM) exercise which could be done independently or assisted by health workers. The purpose of this literature review was to identify the effect of range of motion (ROM) exercise in increasing muscle strength in stroke patients. This study used a descriptive method with a literature review approach. The search strategy used six international journal databases: PubMed, JSTOR, Wiley Online Library, Sage Journal, ScienceDirect, and Taylor & Francis Online. In addition, a search was conducted on one national journal database, namely Google Scholar. The selection was conducted by assessing articles that met the inclusion criteria, such as publication range from 2005-2021, in English, Indonesian, and other languages that can be translated and opened full access text. After the selection process, nine articles that met the inclusion criteria were obtained, with 197 respondents assigned randomly and grouped into 58 control groups, 55 intervention groups, 84 combined groups. The results showed that the ROM exercise method positively affected increasing muscle strength in stroke patients. Based on these results, it could be concluded that this nurse's independent intervention needed to be carried out in stroke patients to increase muscle strength
Introduction: Swelling of the mucosa in the stomach caused by inflammation due to irritation and infection is called gastritis. Gastritis can cause bleeding in the stomach, if not treated immediately will cause hemorrhagic shock. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge, dietary compliance, stress, and quality of life in gastritis sufferers. Method: This research uses quantitative analytic research with cross sectional approach and the sampling technique uses purposive sampling technique, the number of respondents is 30 people in Cijeungjing Village, Cijeungjing District, Ciamis Regency. instrument research used a gastritis knowledge level questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability as many as 20 questions to measure the level of knowledge in gastritis sufferers, Comstock scale questionnaire measure the level of dietary compliance in gastritis sufferers, the PSS-10 questionnaire with 10 questions to assess stress. and the 26 questions WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire measure the quality of life. Analyze adopt Chi Square test. Result: Univariate analysis of each variable showed that respondents have a level of knowledge above the average on 22 people (73.3%), high levels of dietary compliance on 15 people (50%), severe stress levels on 11 people (36.7%) and a good quality of life on 16 people (53.3%). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between stress levels and quality of life as evidenced by the results of statistical tests >ρ value (0.05> 0.029) and chi squared (X²) count < chi squared (X²) table (4,866<12,592) but there is no significant relationship between other variables.
Introduction: High blood pressure causes several complications such as heart failure, kidney failure, stroke, circulation problems and death. Hypertension can be triggered by stress due to activation of the sympathetic nervous system which causes an intermittent increase in blood pressure. Patient's knowledge of hypertension is an important factor in controlling blood pressure and reducing stress levels. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and correlation of the level of knowledge and stress in people with hypertension. Methods: This type of research is quantitative analytic with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were hypertension patients in the Public Health Centre of Cijeungjing working area who were more than 30 years old with a total 101. The research sample was taken as many as 50 respondents with purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used was a questionnaire to measure the level of knowledge of hypertension and the perceived stress scale (PSS-10) as a measure of stress levels. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 with Chi Square statistical test. Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents had more knowledge than the average of 27 people (54%). While the majority of respondents' stress levels were in the medium category, namely as many as 33 people (66%). Conclusion: Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that there is no significant relationship between knowledge and stress levels of hypertensive patients as evidenced by the value α <ρ value (0.05> 0.067) and the value of chi square (X2) count <chi square (X2) table (5.709 < 12,592).
Background: Hepatoma is an abnormal growth of liver cells, which is characterized by a mass in the right upper abdomen, which can cause chronic pain. Pain arises from tissue damage and inflammation of the liver. One of the nursing interventions that can be done to overcome the main problem of chronic pain is hot compresses. Objective: This study aims to present nursing care with hot compress intervention as an effort to overcome the main problem of chronic pain in hepatoma patients. Methods: This case study uses nursing care methods that include assessment, determination of nursing diagnoses, nursing plans, implementation of nursing and nursing evaluation which was carried out for 3 days in the aster room of the Banjar City Hospital. The assessment was carried out by way of history taking and observation. Nursing diagnosis is determined by the IDHS, while the nursing plan is adjusted to the grouping of interventions in SIKI supported by Evidence Based Nursing. Implementation and evaluation of nursing is documented with the SOAPIER model. Giving hot compress therapy to hepatoma patients is given using a bottle covered with a cloth so that the heat does not directly stick to the skin, with a duration of 15 minutes. Results: After being given a heat compress intervention, the pain scale was reduced from 8 to 2, while the subjective data from the anamnesis, the client said the pain was reduced. Conclusion: Heat compress therapy can be an effective nursing intervention to reduce chronic pain in hepatoma patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
