Latar Belakang: Hipertensi merupakan masalah penyakit tidak menular yang terus meningkat dari tahun ketahun. Gaya hidup yang tidak sehat seperti aktivitas yang kurang, obesitas, dan komsumsi tinggi lemak dan garam menjadi faktor risiko penyebab utama hipertensi, diperlukan intervensi untuk meningkatkankesadaran sehingga perawatan hipertensi dapat dipertahankan agar tekanan darah dapat terkontrol. Tujuan: Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan kemampuan dan penurunan tekanan darah sesudah intervensi Moluca pada agregate dewasa hipertensi. Metode: Desain studi ini menggunakan evidence base practice, pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan purposive sampling dan diperoleh sampel sebesar 58 orang responden. Intervensi Moluca diberikan selama 8 sesi, dan 1 sesi dalam 1 minggu. Hasil: Hasil intervensi Moluca terdapat penurunan rerata tekanan darah sistolik 21,16 mmHg dan diastolik 12,63 mmHg. Kesimpulan: Kesimpulan intervensi Moluca efektif menurunkan tekanan darah dengan nilap p value: 0,001. Saran: Perawat komunitas perlu meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan untuk mengembangkan diri denganmengikuti berbagai pelatihan untuk pengendalian hipertensi di masyarakat seperti intervensi keperawatankomunitas Moluca untuk meningkatkan pengendalian tekanan darah pada agregate dewasa hipertensi.Kata kunci: Hipertensi – Moluca

Tindakan pembedahan merupakan salah satu tindakan medis yang akan mendatangkan stresor terhadap integritas seseorang. Reaksi yang muncul berupa reaksi stres baik fisiologis maupun psikologis akan tetapi yang paling menonjol adalah reaksi secara psikologis berupa kecemasan. SEFT atau Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique adalah sebuah metode terapi yang bertujuan menghilangkan atau membuang energi negatif dari dalam tubuh sehingga seseorang akan menjadi sehat fisik dan  psikis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektifitas pemberian SEFT (Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique) pada kecemasan pasien preoperatif di Ruang Persiapan IAR RS Ortopedi Prof. Dr. Soeharso Surakarta. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan desain pretest-posttest. Populasi yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah pasien pre operatif dari bangsal kelas II dan kelas III RSO.

Mhealth Apps

Objective Nowadays, smartphones are becoming an indispensable tool due to the popular use of useful applications (apps) that can be downloaded and installed to aid our everyday lives. The quantity of apps manifested as tools for mobile health (mHealth) is undoubtedly high. The mHealth apps are very popular and cover various and different aspects of health. The first app for women in menopause was presented in 2014. Since then, more apps have been developed. The aim of this study is to identify mHealth apps that address the menopause with a focused view on the degree of medical professional involvement and documented evidence base practice in their design, as well as, underline their potential role in raising awareness regarding health in the community. Methods The official app stores by Google, Apple, Windows and Blackberry were chosen to pool the apps. The keywords used were ‘apps for menopause’, ‘women in menopause’ and ‘menopause’. Eligible apps were selected based on the target consumer, each app’s price, documentation of evidence base practice and documentation of medical professional involvement. Results This search revealed 35 relevant apps, of which 10 were excluded as they were identified as duplicates available for download by more than one app store. Authors excluded also further three mHealth apps, since they were not written in English, and the assessment was difficult due to the language barrier. A total of 22 mHealth menopause apps were included in this study. Medical professional involvement was noted in 27.3% of the mHealth menopause apps, and 22.7% of the total apps used evidence-based information. The mHealth menopause apps were free of charge in 86.4%. Ninety-one percent of the apps were designed for the consumers, while only 9% of them were suitable for medical professionals. Conclusions In conclusion, there is a need to improve the mHealth apps available for menopause, by including more medical staff in their development and by establishing clear regulation around the development and the context of an mHealth app.

Purpose This exploratory study examined the language skills and the type and frequency of disfluencies in the spoken narrative production of Spanish–English bilingual children who do not stutter. Method A cross-sectional sample of 29 bilingual students (16 boys and 13 girls) enrolled in grades prekindergarten through Grade 4 produced a total of 58 narrative retell language samples in English and Spanish. Key outcome measures in each language included the percentage of normal (%ND) and stuttering-like (%SLD) disfluencies, percentage of words in mazes (%MzWds), number of total words, number of different words, and mean length of utterance in words. Results Cross-linguistic, pairwise comparisons revealed significant differences with medium effect sizes for %ND and %MzWds (both lower for English) as well as for number of different words (lower for Spanish). On average, the total percentage of mazed words was higher than 10% in both languages, a pattern driven primarily by %ND; %SLDs were below 1% in both languages. Multiple linear regression models for %ND and %SLD in each language indicated that %MzWds was the primary predictor across languages beyond other language measures and demographic variables. Conclusions The findings extend the evidence base with regard to the frequency and type of disfluencies that can be expected in bilingual children who do not stutter in grades prekindergarten to Grade 4. The data indicate that %MzWds and %ND can similarly index the normal disfluencies of bilingual children during narrative production. The potential clinical implications of the findings from this study are discussed.

Treatment Conditions

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine 2 aspects of treatment intensity in treatment for childhood apraxia of speech (CAS): practice amount and practice distribution. Method Using an alternating-treatments single-subject design with multiple baselines, we compared high versus low amount of practice, and massed versus distributed practice, in 6 children with CAS. Conditions were manipulated in the context of integral stimulation treatment. Changes in perceptual accuracy, scored by blinded analysts, were quantified with effect sizes. Results Four children showed an advantage for high amount of practice, 1 showed an opposite effect, and 1 showed no condition difference. For distribution, 4 children showed a clear advantage for massed over distributed practice post treatment; 1 showed an opposite pattern, and 1 showed no clear difference. Follow-up revealed a similar pattern. All children demonstrated treatment effects (larger gains for treated than untreated items). Conclusions High practice amount and massed practice were associated with more robust speech motor learning in most children with CAS, compared to low amount and distributed practice, respectively. Variation in effects across children warrants further research to determine factors that predict optimal treatment conditions. Finally, this study adds to the evidence base supporting the efficacy of integral stimulation treatment for CAS. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.9630599

Negative Impacts

Because of the increasing number of transgender people requesting speech-language pathology services, because having gender-incongruent voice and communication has major negative impacts on an individual's social participation and well-being, and because voice and communication training is supported by an improving evidence-base, it is becoming more common for universities to include transgender-specific theoretical and clinical components in their speech-language pathology programs. This paper describes the theoretical and clinical education provided to speech-language pathology students at La Trobe University in Australia, with a particular focus on the voice and communication training program offered by the La Trobe Communication Clinic. Further research is required to determine the outcomes of the clinic's training program in terms of student confidence and competence as well as the effectiveness of training for transgender clients.
