in the study is quantitative research, with analytical research methods and a crosssectional approach. Results: The results of the study showed that there was no
relationship between the level of knowledge of adolescent sexual behavior at
Gambut with a p-value = 0.900 and there was a relationship between attitudes
towards adolescent sexual behavior at Gambut in 2024 with a p-value = 0.000.
Conclusion: For further researchers, it is recommended that they conduct the same
research by adding variables that are not discussed in this research in the same place

Hery Wibowo — 2025-01-02

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is quite common and can lead to serious conditions such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease. The negative impacts of hypertension can be prevented by implementing a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking. Headaches often appear when blood pressure rises, usually exceeding 140/90 mmHg. If this condition is not treated properly, headaches will interfere with daily activities. Objective: How does the combination of ginger and honey therapy reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients? Method: This research applies the case study method through data collection by examining nursing Gordon patterns, observation, interviews, and physical examination. Results: There was a decrease in blood pressure from 179/130 mmHg to 123/82 mmHg, after six days of administering a combination of ginger and honey decoction therapy. Ginger contains gingerol, which functions as an antioxidant and anticoagulant, thereby helping lower blood pressure. Meanwhile, honey contains nitrogen oxide, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids which play a role in protecting capillary health and atherosclerosis. Conclusion: there was a reduction in blood pressure for 6 days with ginger and honey decoction therapy.

Dwi Armawati — 2025-01-06

Background: Anemia is a medical condition where the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin levels is less than 12 grams/100 ml. Risk factors for anemia include a deficiency of iron, vitamin B12, or folic acid, impaired absorption of nutrients, excessive bleeding, pregnancy, and chronic or autoimmune diseases that affect the production of red blood cells. Objective: To administer red spinach pudding to help increase hemoglobin In adolescents with anemia.
