Introduction: Handwashing behavior is one of the most effective actions to prevent diseases, especially in elementary school environments, however, student’s compliance in proper handwashing remains low. Therefore, educational efforts such as the WHO six-step handwashing health education are necessary.

Objectives: To determine the effect of WHO six-step handwashing health education on handwashing compliance among students at SDN Ciranji in 2025

Method: This study used a one group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of sixth-grade students at SDN Ciranji selected using a total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis to describe the frequency distribution of respondents’ characteristics and handwashing compliance levels before and after the health education. A normality test was conducted to determine the appropriate statistical test for bivariate analysis. Since the data were not normally distributed, the Wilcoxon test was used to determine differences in compliance before and after the health education.

Result: The results showed an increase in students’ handwashing compliance scores after the health education was given. The Wilcoxon test result showed a p-value of 0.001 (< 0.05), indicating that the WHO six-step handwashing education had a significant effect on handwashing compliance among students at SDN Ciranji

Conclusion: The results showed an increase in students’ handwashing compliance scores after the health education was given. The Wilcoxon test result showed a p-value of 0.001 (< 0.05), indicating that the WHO six-step handwashing education had a significant effect on handwashing compliance among students at SDN Ciranji

Introduction: Hypertension is a health problem that occurs in every country worldwide. Management of hypertension patients includes two aspects: pharmacological therapy to reduce hypertension and prevent complications such as heart attacks. Pharmacological therapies that can be used include captopril, hydrochlorothiazide, methyldopa, metoprolol, and prasosin. Non-pharmacological therapies include deep breathing relaxation techniques, rose aromatherapy, steam bath therapy, foot reflexology, hypnotherapy, and progressive muscle relaxation.

Objectives: To determine the effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) on blood pressure in hypertensive patients at Grha Permata Ibu Hospital.

Method: The research design used in this study was a quasi-experimental one with a pretest-posttest approach. This approach involved a pretest, followed by treatment or intervention, and then a posttest to determine changes before and after the treatment or intervention.

Result: The paired t-test showed a p-value of 0.001, meaning P <0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that the administration of Progressive Muscle Relaxation and antihypertensive medication has an effect on Blood Pressure in hypertensive patients at Grha Permata Ibu Hospital.

Conclusion: Progressive Muscle Relaxation has a positive impact on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients, so it is worth considering as a complementary therapy approach that can optimize hypertension management.

Pengaruh Penerapan Intervensi Keperawatan Berupa Senam Kaki Diabetik Terhadap Pencegahan Ulkus Kaki Diabetik Pada Pasien Diabetes Melitus Tipe II Di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Kelurahan Lenteng Agung 2

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, or hyperglycemia. Prolonged hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, one of which is diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetic ulcers occur due to impaired peripheral blood flow and nerve damage, reducing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the foot tissue, leading to tissue damage. One preventative measure is diabetic foot exercises, simple exercises aimed at improving blood circulation, maintaining nerve function, and preventing foot ulcers.

Method: This study used a quantitative method with a pre-test and post-test design.

Results: showed that most respondents were in the late elderly age group (56–65 years) and the majority were female. The average random blood sugar (GDS) level before the intervention was 314.20 mg/dL, indicating uncontrolled hyperglycemia. Furthermore, screening results using the Inlow's 60-Second Diabetic Foot Screening Tool showed an average score of 8.12, which is categorized as a moderate to high risk for diabetic foot ulcers. After two weeks of regular diabetic foot exercises, the average GDS decreased to 286.84 mg/dL and the foot screening score decreased to 6.04. This indicates improvements in foot condition, particularly in circulation and sensation.

Conclusion: Therefore, diabetic foot exercises can be recommended as a preventative measure for diabetic foot ulcers, which can be performed independently by patients as recommended by healthcare professionals.
