Effectiveness of Purple Sweet Potato and Red Bean Cookies on Fasting Blood Glucose Levels in Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus
No full textThe worldwide prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to climb yearly, with 1.5 million fatalities directly related to DM each year. The number of common instances of DM has been progressively growing during the last several decades. Poor dietary management in people with DM is one of the difficulties that commonly leads to uncontrolled blood glucose levels. Purple sweet potato and red bean cookies are utilized as an alternative treatment for persons with DM because purple sweet potatoes and red beans offer benefits in the form of a low glycemic index and high anthocyanin and fibre content. The goal of this research was to show the efficacy of purple sweet potato and red bean cookies on fasting blood glucose levels in individuals with type II diabetes mellitus. This research approach is a randomized control trial with a pretest-posttest design. Research includes 60 respondents split into 2 groups, utilizing a basic random selection approach. The research was performed for 21 days from 23 September to 13 October 2024 at the Sukamakmur health center region, Aceh Besar. This research employed a pre-test post-test difference test utilizing the Wilcoxon test, and the test across groups using the Mann-Whitney test. The findings of the pre-test average fasting blood sugar levels of intervention group respondents revealed results of 230.07 mg/dL to 152.10 mg/dL post-test (p 0.000), whereas the control group average pretest GDP 226.40 mg/dL to 186.60 mg/dL post-test (p 0.001). This research revealed significant changes in both the intervention and control groups before and after treatment. Statistical findings indicated that purple sweet potato and red bean cookies were more successful in decreasing blood glucose levels than purple sweet potato 104-gram cookies. Purple sweet potato and red bean cookies are excellent to be utilized as nutritious and practical snacks as a support system for persons with DM
Application of Orem\u27s Self-Care Theory in Lowering Blood Pressure in Hypertension Patients Grade 1 Through Resistance Band Exercise and Almond Chocolate Consumption
No full textSelf-care plays a critical role in the prevention and management of hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Orem’s Self-Care Theory on blood pressure reduction through resistance band exercise and almond chocolate consumption in hypertension patients. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used. The study involved 76 respondents with hypertension grade 1, divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group participated in resistance band exercises three times a week for 28 days and consumed almond chocolate, while the control group received standard antihypertensive treatment. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests with α < 0.05. The results showed a significant reduction in both systolic (p = 0.000) and diastolic (p = 0.002) blood pressure in the intervention group. Resistance band exercises enhanced vascular endothelial function, while almond chocolate stimulated nitric oxide synthesis, leading to vasodilation. These intervention aligned with Orem’s Self-Care Theory, highlighting the importance of individual commitment to health. The innovative aspect of this study lies in its integrated approach, as it is among the first to combine Orem’s Self-Care Theory with both physical (resistance band exercise) and nutritional (almond chocolate consumption) interventions for hypertensive patients. The study concludes that applying Orem’s Self-Care Theory through exercise and dietary changes effectively reduces blood pressure in hypertensive patients. It is recommended that health practitioners incorporate these self-care practices alongside the Patient-Centered Care (PCC) concept to address individual needs. This integrated approach can enhance hypertension management, improve blood pressure control, and boost patient satisfaction, ultimately leading to better health outcomes
Improving Dental Health and Nutrition Awareness through the "SEGIGIKU" School Health Program
No full textIndonesia faces serious challenges in dental and oral health and nutrition, with dental caries, stunting, and obesity remaining major public health problems among children. Schools play a crucial role in shaping children’s health behaviors through structured health education and interventions. The School Health Program model “SEGIGIKU” was developed to enhance the involvement of teachers, peers, and parents in improving oral health behavior and nutrition awareness as preventive measures against dental caries, stunting, and obesity in preschool children. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the “SEGIGIKU” School Health Program model as an effort to improve oral health behavior and nutrition awareness among preschool children. This research employed a research and development (R&D) design, consisting of stages of information gathering, program design, expert validation, product testing, and final product development. The results showed a consistent weekly increase in students’ weight and height. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test demonstrated a highly significant improvement in dental hygiene, as indicated by the PHPM score (p = 0.000), and a significant reduction in dental caries, as reflected by the decay score (p = 0.002). In conclusion, the “SEGIGIKU” School Health Program model effectively improves oral health behavior and nutrition awareness, which are closely interconnected, and contributes to the prevention of dental caries, stunting, and obesity in preschool children

No full textBackground: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a prevalence continues to increase nationally and globally. This condition can cause serious complications such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease. Hypertension management is not only through drug therapy, but also includes healthy lifestyle changes and dietary compliance. One factor that supports compliance is self-efficacy, namely an individual\u27s belief in their ability to perform certain behaviors, including following a hypertension diet. Objective: To determine the relationship between self-efficacy and dietary compliance in hypertension patients at the Sawah Besar Community Health Center, Central Jakarta. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The data analysis technique used in this study was the Spearman rho test with a sample of 190 respondents. Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents had high self-efficacy and were compliant with the diet. Based on the results of statistical tests, the p value = 0.000 and r value 0.922 indicated a very strong relationship between self-efficacy and dietary compliance
The Relationship Between Oral Health Knowledge and Oral Hygiene Status Among the Elderly
No full textOral and dental hygiene plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health, particularly in older adults. Poor oral health can affect eating comfort, speech, and overall quality of life. Preliminary data from the Melati Elderly Posyandu, Jl. Mustika Baru, Ngagel, Surabaya, showed a low average OHI-S score of 3.8, categorized as poor. This condition is associated with limited knowledge about oral and dental hygiene among the elderly. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge of oral and dental hygiene and oral hygiene status, as measured by the Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHI-S), in older adults. This research used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 29 respondents, determined using the Slovin formula. Knowledge levels were assessed through questionnaires, while oral hygiene status was evaluated using OHI-S. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed a significance value of ρ = 0.012 (ρ < 0.05) and a correlation coefficient of 0.460, indicating a positive, moderate correlation between knowledge and OHI-S scores. In conclusion, there is a significant moderate relationship between knowledge of oral and dental hygiene and oral hygiene status among the elderly. Higher knowledge levels are associated with better OHI-S scores
