Sampel yang di tentukan 30 responden yang di bagi menjadi 2 kelompok intervensi dan kelompok dianalisis menggunakan uji wilcoxon. Metode Pengumpulan Data dengan Pemeriksaan dan instrumen menggunakan spigmomanometer. Hasil penelitian dari 30 responden menunjukan responden yang di berikan jus mentimun yang di lakukan selama 30 hari dengan takaran 100 cc mengalami penurunan sebesar 34,00 mmHg pada sistol dan 4,67 mm/Hg pada tekanan diastol. Sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol menunjukan adanya peningkatan tekanan sistol sebesar 2,67 mmHg dan tekanan diastolnya menunjukan tidak ada perubahan. Uji statistik dengan t.test di dapatkan p value 0,850 lebih dari alpha 0,005 sehingga dapat di simpulkan gagal penolakan terhadap hipotesis.Kata kunci  : Hipertensi, Lansia, Mentimun.             ABSTRACTGiving cucumber juice is one of the herbal remedies that have several advantages, such as relatively low side effects, in an herb with different components as well as having more than one pharmacological effects of mutual support and appropriate for metabolic diseases such as hypertension and degeneratif.

Samples were determined in 30 respondents were divided into 2 groups of intervention and control groups in the analysis then uses wilxocon test.  Data collection methods and instruments used by the Examination spigmomanometer.  The results of the 30 respondents to the univariate test results show that the respondent is given juice cucumbers are done every day for 30 days to provide as much as 100 cc cucumber juice decreased by 34.1 mmHg in systolic and 4.67 mmHg diastolic pressure. While the group is not given the intervention showed an increase in systolic pressure of 2.67 mmHg and pressure diastolnya showed no change. Statistical test with p value T.test in get .850 over 0,005 alpha can be concluded that the rejection of the hypothesis fails. Keywords   : Hypertension, Elderly, Cucumber.

Background: Montelukast, as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, could reduce inflammation in nephrotic syndrome (NS). This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of montelukast as adjunctive therapy in pediatric NS. Methods: This clinical trial study was conducted on patients with NS. The patients were assigned into two equal groups (N = 25 in each) of intervention (steroid + montelukast) and control and treated for one month. One month later, in the follow-up stage, their proteinuria was measured. The results before and after treatment were statistically analyzed by SPSS software version 21, and the final report of the project was presented. Results: The age of participants in the intervention and control groups was 7.26 ± 4.23 and 6.79 ± 3.91 years, respectively (P = 0.68), and there were 10 female participants in both groups (P = 1.0). Albumin levels in 96% of the control group and 76% of the intervention group were 1.5 - 2.5 μg/dL (P = 0.037). Also, 48% of participants in the control group were corticosteroid dependent, and 60% of participants in the intervention group responded to corticosteroids (P = 0.194). The severity of nephrotic syndrome was moderate in 60% of participants in the control group and mild in 60% of participants in the intervention group (P = 0.138). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that recovery rate was higher in the intervention group, but the difference was not statistically significant.


Background and Aims: Fear of delivery in females can lead to negative side effects, such as the experience of long and hard labor. Reduction of delivery fear is one of the goals of natural delivery program, and hypnosis has been considered a way to reduce this fear. With regard to the contradictory results of the studies in this field, this study aimed to determine the effect of self-hypnosis on the experience of delivery fear and duration of labor in primiparity. Materials and Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 63 pregnant women who were divided into self-hypnosis (n=30) and control groups (n=33) using a blocking method in Mashhad, Iran, during 2019. The intervention group received two sessions of hypnosis at 37th and 38th weeks of pregnancy which consisted of listening to an audio file until delivery time. On the other hand, the control group received only the routine care. Fear was evaluated at 37th week of pregnancy and 24 h after delivery. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 16), and a p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean scores of delivery fear experience (P<0.001), as well as the duration of the second stage (P=0.013) and third stage of labor (P=0.009) were significantly lower in the self-hypnosis group, compared to the controls. Conclusion: Self-hypnosis was effective in reducing the experience of delivery fear and duration of the second and third stages of labor in primiparity. Therefore, self-hypnosis is recommended to reduce the experience of delivery fear and duration of the second and third stages of labor in primiparity.

Background: Roselle flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa) has been used as a food and herbal drinks, in hot and cold beverages, as a herbal medicine.Objective: To examine the effect of consuming roselle dried flower petals on changes in maternal hypertensive blood pressure during postpartum period.Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with non-equivalent control group design conducted in 2016. There were 30 samples recruited using consecutive sampling with 15 samples in the intervention group and control group. Data were analyzed using paired t-test to know the difference of blood pressure value before and after intervention in the intervention and control group, and Independent t-test  to determine the difference of blood pressure decrease between intervention and control group. Mann-whitney and Wilcoxon test were also performed for data analysis.Results: Findings showed that there were statistically significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure values before and after intervention in the intervention and control group with p-value 0.000 <0.05 with systolic blood pressure decrease was 5 mmHg and diastolic was 5.33 mmHg. Additionally, there was a significant effect in the duration of healing in the intervention group with p-value 0.000 <0.05, with the average duration of healing was 2 days.Conclusion: There was significant effects of dried petals of rosella flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa) brewed with 200 ml of hot water with temperature 90oC in lowering blood pressure, and there was significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and duration of healing between the intervention and control group of mothers who consumed antihypertensive drugs. The results of this study can be applied by midwives in postpartum care with the cases of hypertension. It is expected that this intervention can help the healing process more quickly through a combination of antihypertensive medicines and sedated petals of rosella flowers.
