In adolescents, the iron not only functions as energy metabolism in the body but also helps to improve learning achievement. Iron deficiency can lead to fatigue, and the concentration, memory and learning abilities can be disrupted. It can also lead to anemia, especially in young women. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of leaf moringa capsules on the hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls in Sabbihisma Junior High School. This research used a quasi method of pretest and posttest experiment with control group design. The sample of the study were 32 people, 16 cases (moringa leaf capsule) and 16 control groups. Data collection was done through observation and laboratory examination of hemoglobin levels before and after treatment. The data were tested with paired sample t-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in female hemoglobin levels in the case group with p = 0,000, while the control group was not significant with p = 0,091.
Stroke causes motor hemiparise disorders or weakness. Nursing intervention to overcome this is by doing range of motion (ROM) exercises grasping the ball. The purpose of the study was to identify the effect of ROM-grasping ball exercises on the strength of limb muscles for ischemic stroke patients. Quasi-experimental research type, one group pre-post test design. Research in the Neuro Ward Dr. M. Djamil Padang Hospital. The time of the research is October to December 2017. The intervention is ROM gripping ball exercises, namely rubber balls for 3 days followed by tennis balls for 2 days. Hold the ball firmly for 5 seconds then relax 10 seconds, practice repeated 10 times, frequency 3 times a day. The study population were all stroke patients in the Neuro Ward Dr. M. Djamil Padang Hospital. A sample of 10 people was obtained by purposive sampling that met the inclusion criteria. Data collection by measurement of muscle strength using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT). Data were computerized, analyzed by descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon test. The results of the study showed differences in upper limb muscle strength before and after the ROM exercise held the ball on the patient's shoulder (p value = 0.004), on the elbow of the patient (p value = 0.000), on the patient's hand (p value = 0.000), and on the patient's finger (p value = 0.000). It is recommended to nurses to implement the practice of grasping the ball to increase muscle strength of ischemic stroke patients and make it as a procedure for nursing intervention to patients to muscle strength.
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.
