Endothelin-1 is potent endothelium derived as the strongest vasoconstrictor that has 21 amino acids and damage of endothelial layer activated the increasing of vasoconstriction, the increasing of endothelin-1 caused a resistence across the maternal vascular system that has endothelial layer make hypertension. This research aims is to determine te difference levels of endothelin-1 in primigravida pregnancy and multigravida pregnancy. The design type of this research was cross sectional study. There were 44 popltions, 22 mothers with primigravida pregnancy and 22 mothers with multigravida pregnancy respectively. The samples were selected using consecutive sampling technique. The instrument ofthis research was laboratory test. The result of this research were tested by Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests.The results indicate that the average of Endothelin-1 in primigravida pregnant mothers (91.02 ng / L), multigravida pregnancy’s parity ≤3 (89.04 ng / L), the Multigravida pregnancy’s parity >3 (62.13 ng / L) with p=0.367>0.05which means there is no difference of endothelin-1 between primigravida pregnancy and multigravida pregnancy.

ABSTRAKStroke merupakan penyakit neurologik yeng terjadi karena gangguan suplai darah menuju suatu bagian otak. Angka kejadian stroke meningkat seiring dengan bertambahnya usia, semakin tinggi usia seseorang semakin tinggi kemungkinan terjadi stroke. Menurut penyebabnya stroke dibagi dua yaitu stroke hemoragik akibat pecahnya pembuluh darah otak dan stroke iskemik (stroke non hemoragik) akibat adanya trombus atau embolus pada pembuluh darah otak. Banyak faktor yang menyebabkan stroke, yang terdiri dari faktor yang tidak dapat diubah dan faktor yang dapat diubah. Tujuan  penelitian untuk mengidentifikasi dan menjelaskan faktor risiko yang berhubungan dengan kejadian stroke. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasonal analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional study. Sampel sebanyak 103 responden yang diambil dengan tehnik consecutive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada hubungan yang signifikan antara hipertensi (p = 0,035) dan aktivitas fisik (p = 0,011) dengan jenis stroke. Aktivitas fisik merupakan faktor risiko paling dominan yang berhubungan dengan jenis stroke dengan OR = 5,8. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan riwayat hipertensi dan aktivitas fisik merupakan faktor risiko independen yang berhubungan dengan jenis stroke. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini ditujukan kepada rumah sakit untuk meningkatkan kegiatan penyuluhan untuk mencegah faktor risiko terjadinya stroke. Selain itu meningkatkan peran perawat dalam  pemberian pelayanan keperawatan, dimana perawat memfokuskan asuhan pada kebutuhan kesehatan pasien secara holistik.ABSTRACT Stroke is a neurological disease that occurs due to disruption of the blood supply to a part of the brain. The incidence of stroke increases with age, that the older the person the possibility of stroke. According to the cause of stroke divided into two hemorrhagic stroke due to rupture of blood vessels of the brain and ischemic stroke (stroke non hemoragik) due to thrombus or embolus in the blood vessels of the brain. Many factors cause a stroke, which consists of factors that can not be changed and the factors that can be changed. The aim of research to identify and explain the risk factors associated with the occurrence of stroke.This research is an analytic observational study with cross sectional study. The sample of this study as many as 103 respondents is taken with consecutive sampling technique. The results showed significant relationship between hypertension (p = 0,035) and physical activity (p = 0.011) with the type of stroke. Physical activity is the predominant risk factor associated with this type of stroke with OR = 5.8. The study concluded a history of hypertension and physical inactivity is an independent risk factor associated with this type of stroke. Recommendations from this study aimed to hospitals to improve education activities to prevent risk factors for stroke. Besides increasing the role of nurses in the delivery of nursing services, where nurses care focuses on the health needs of patients holistically.

Public health officials have advocated the involvement of men as a strategy for addressing the dismal performance of family planning (FP) programmes. This study was therefore designed to explore the challenges and determine way forward to male involvement in FP in Olorunda Local Government Area, Osogbo, Nigeria. This cross-sectional study involved the use of a four-stage sampling technique to select 500 married men and interviewed them using semistructured questionnaire. In addition, four focus group discussions (FGDs) were also conducted. Mean age of respondents was 28.5 ± 10.3 years. Some (37.9%) of the respondents’ spouse had ever used FP and out of which 19.0% were currently using FP. Only 4.8% of the respondents had ever been involved in FP. Identified barriers to male involvement included the perception that FP is woman’s activity and was not their custom to participate in FP programme. More than half of the FGD discussants were of the view that men should provide their wives with transport fare and other resources they may need for FP. The majority of the respondents had never been involved in family planning with their wives. Community sensitization programmes aimed at improving male involvement in FP should be provided by government and nongovernmental agencies.
