“…[16] But the awareness about stress being the major cause of hypertension is less thus Karthikeson.PS conducted a study regarding awareness of stress related hypertension in Chennai in the year 2016 and the study concluded that it created awareness via surveys among the Indian population that stress can cause hypertension thus prevention needs to be taken. [19] An epidemiological cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the level of stress and its association with hypertension in young adult population of age group 20 to 40 years in an urban slum of Mumbai in the year 2017 and the study found that severe stress is associated with development of hypertension. Special attention should be given to increase the awareness about stress, its related complications and prevention and control measures.…”

Introduction: Hypertension is increasing in India and is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It has been linked to many diseases. Several studies showed that hypertension and lung function are associated causing reduction in lung function. Also stress has been listed as a potential and important cause of hypertension. But there was paucity of information about the stress having an effect on lung function in hypertensive adults, thus there was a need to conduct this study. Materials and Method: The study comprised of 72 controlled hypertensive adults. Stress was assessed using Perceived stress scale and the lung function was assessed using a Spirometer (Spirobank II). Data was collected and recorded in the Excel 2016 spreadsheet and analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to analyze the normality of the data. Since the data has not passed the normality test, Spearman’s correlation test was used for calculating the correlation. Results: There was a very weak correlation between Perceived stress scale (PSS) score and FEV 1 which was statistically not significant (p>0.05). A weak correlation was found between PSS score and FVC which was statistically significant (p<0.05).PSS was negatively correlated with both the parameters of PFT (FEV1 and FVC) and there was no correlation between PSS and FEV1/FVC. Conclusion: Increased perceived stress levels may affect the lung function in hypertensive adults. Key words: Hypertension, Controlled hypertension, Pulmonary function, Stress, depression, lung function

Introduction: Smartphone-based education has been proven to indirectly improve clinical outcomes of type-2 diabetes mellitus patients via practical disease management. “Teman Diabetes” is a new smartphone application that helps diabetics better manage their diabetes, and allows collaboration between diabetics, their inner circle, and medical professionals. However, there is still limited evidence about the effectiveness of “Teman Diabetes” on clinical outcomes of diabetic patients, especially type-2 diabetes mellitus. The objective of this research is to determine the positive effect of smartphone application-based education “Teman Diabetes” on the clinical outcomes of type-2 diabetes mellitus patients. The clinical outcomes measured were HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose levels. Method: Using a quasi-experimental design, a total of 83 participants were selected by consecutive sampling. Patients in the intervention group (n = 44) received "Teman Diabetes" when they assigned the informed consent form. Furthermore, they received a WhatsApp message containing a different link from the "Artikel" feature on the Teman Diabetes every week from the research team, from the second week to twelfth week. The control group (n = 39) only received standard therapy without any additional interventions. Patients in both groups were followed before and after 3 months (HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose levels). The statistical test used in this study is Mann-Whitney test for hypotheses and comparison of mean changes between groups; Wilcoxon test for comparison of mean changes between treatments; and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) test for the effect of confounding variables. Results: After 3 months, the mean HbA1c reduction was greater in the intervention group by -0.7 ± 0.9% (P<0.001) than in the control group by -0.1 ± 1.1% (P=0.17). Also, the mean fasting plasma glucose reduction was greater in the intervention group by -25.0 ± 71.4mg/dl (P=.02) instead of in the control group by 7.6 ± 72.4mg/dl (P=0.78). It is concluded that smartphone application-based education “Teman Diabetes” give a significant positive effect on clinical outcomes among type-2 diabetes mellitus patients. The main features that contributed to the clinical outcome of this study were "Artikel", "Forum", and "Edukasi" feature.
