World Health Organization (WHO), cervical cancer is the number two cause of death in the world for women from all existing cancer. Every two minutes a woman dies of this disease. This cancer attack at an early stage does not cause any symptoms. That is why, why does this type of cancer fall into the category of the silent killer. One of the promotive and preventive efforts in women of childbearing age as primary prevention can be through the provision of health education about cervical cancer using the Acetic Acid Inspection (IVA) method. The purpose of this study is to find out whether there is an influence of health education about IVA on WUS motivation in cervical cancer detection in health centers. Putri Ayu Jambi. This type of quantitative research with non randomized pretest-posttest with control group design, with purposive sampling technique totaling 22 WUS, 11 people as controls and 11 experimental people. The instrument in the form of questionnaires was analyzed by univariate and bivariate Paired Test t-test, which was conducted from April to July 2018.  The results of the study revealed that of the 22 WUSs studied, the average motivation of the pretest in the experimental group was 41.1818 and the control group was 39.9091, while the results of the posttest of the experimental group after being given counseling and leaflets increased by 42.9091 with p-value 0.034. There is an influence of health education about IVA tests on WUS motivation in detecting cervical cancer. It is suggested that the Puskesmas can improve activities in planning disease control programs, especially carrying out counseling and counseling both in the puskesmas building and in the working area of the puskesmas by involving cadres in their environment so that WUS is moved to take the IVA examination.

Anaemia is currently still a global health problem. About 26.8% of Indonesian adolescents suffer from anaemia. Most of them do not realize that they suffer from anaemia, neither do they understand the effects of it; this, therefore, warrants a need for health education by utilizing online technology. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of health education through online learning on the knowledge level of adolescents about anaemia. This study is quasi-experiment research with a pretest–posttest using a control-group design. The sampling technique used was stratified random sampling, with a total of 36 respondents who were divided into control and intervention groups. The respondents were screened using the Haemoglobin Test Strip Monitoring System and data were collected using a questionnaire. Data analysis in this study used the Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney tests. The results showed that there was an increase in the mean knowledge value of anaemic adolescents (p < 0.05) based on the Wilcoxon test results, while based on the Mann–Whitney test, there was no difference between the intervention and control groups (p > 0.05). Health education through online learning media can be given to adolescents because through these media, adolescents can quickly get information related to anaemia anywhere and anytime, and there is a need for active interaction during activities. Keywords: online learning, health education, anaemia, adolescents

The effect of celery (apium graveolens) leaf and bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum wight) on the blood pressure in pre-elderly with primary hypertensionBackground: Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is as medical condition in which the blood pressure in arteries is persistently elevated. This condition can increase risk of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke, kidney failure, heart attack, and kidney damage. Hypertension requires proper treatment to prevent uncontrolled blood pressure that can cause damaged organs. One of traditional treatment for hypertension is using celery leaves (Apium graveolens L) and bay leaves (Syzygium polyantum).Purpose: This research is to determine the difference of blood pressure after the consumption of boiled water celery leaves and bay leaves in pre-elderly with hypertension at Cigugur Tengah Public Health Center.Method: The type of this research is the numerical comparative analytic with Quasi Experiment design with Non Equivalent Control Group Design. This research used purposive sampling technique using 22 responden with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection was performed by measuring the blood pressure before and after the consumption of celery leaves and bay leaves boiled water that consume twice a day in one week. The data are processed including univariate and bivariate data analysis.Results: The statistical result of T-independent test obtain p value of 0,365 > α (0,05)  for the systolic blood pressure and 0,574 > α (0,05) for diastolic blood pressure.Conclusion: Result showed that there is no average difference of blood pressure in group intervention boiled water of celery leaves and bay leaves after consumption of boiled water celery leaves and bay leaves. However, both intervention have decreased blood pressure of hypertension patient.Suggestion of this research is to consume boiled water of celery leaves and bay leaves for longer time as additional therapy for hypertension patient.Keywords: Pre-elderly; Celery leaf; Bay leaf; Primary hypertensionPendahuluan: Hipertensi merupakan suatu keadaan tekanan darah yang tinggi di dalam arteri, sehingga meningkatkan risiko terhadap penyakit-penyakit yang berhubungan dengan kardiovaskuler seperti stroke, gagal ginjal, serangan jantung, dan kerusakan ginjal. Hipertensi membutuhkan penanganan yang tepat untuk mencegah tidak terkontrolnya tekanan darah yang dapat menyebabkan organ tubuh menjadi rusak. Salah satu pengobatan alami hipertensi yang dilakukan adalah pengobatan dengan menggunakan daun seledri (Apium graveolens L) dan daun salam (Syzygium polyanthum).Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui perbedaan tekanan darah sesudah pemberian air rebusan daun seledri dan air rebusan daun salam terhadap penurun tekanan darah pada pra lansia dengan hipertensi primerMetode: Analitik komparatif numerik tidak berpasangan dengan desain Quasi Eksperimen dengan rancangan Non Equivalent Control Group. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara teknik purposive sampling sebanyak 22 responden. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara mengukur tekanan darah responden sebelum dan sesudah diberikan perlakuan dua kali sehari selama satu minggu. Pengolahan dengan menggunkan uji T-independent diperoleh nilai p value tekanan darah sistolik 0,365 > α (0,05) dan p value tekanan darah diastolik 0,574 > α (0,05).Hasil: Tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan rerata tekanan darah pada kelompok intervensi baik yang diberikan air rebusan daun seledri dan air rebusan daun salam.Simpulan: Terdapat penurunan tekanan darah dari kedua kelompok intervensi tersebut bagi penderita hipertensi.

<p>Old age is often attacked the cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia (2012) states that hypertension is one of the most influential risk factors for the incidence of heart disease and blood vessels. High blood pressure continuously increases the burden of the arteries slowly. The arteries undergo hardening process becomes thick and rigid, thus reducing its elasticity. Hypertension can also lead to heart disease because if high blood pressure is left without regular treatment, the heart must pump very strongly to push blood into the arteries, over time the walls of the heart muscle become thicker. An abnormally enlarged heart is an unhealthy heart because the heart becomes stiff and the beat tends to be irregular. This will make pumping less effective and eventually lead to heart failure. Pharmacologic treatment using drugs have the risk of side effects. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of laughter yoga as non-pharmacological therapy in the elderly with hypertension by measuring the difference in blood pressure before and after being treated laughter yoga. Quantitative experimental research with pretest-posttest with a control group design. The sample used purposive sampling that is 20 elderly that is 10 elderly with treatment and 10 elderly as a control. The instrument was used analog tensimeter. Wilxocon different test results obtained from pre-treatment group of post systole and diastole p-value 0,007 and 0,003.
