Legal data that belong to Health Department of Indonesia shows that the number of maternal mortality is decreasing. Even though the number of maternal mortality in Indonesia still high, it has already decreased from 307/100.000 births to 216/100.000 births based on Survey of Demographic and Health of Indonesia (SDKI) 2010/2011. To discover the influence of counseling about the preparation of giving birth to the level of anxiety of primigravida before giving birth in Puskesmas Sindang Barang. Quasi-experimental research with Equivalent Control Group Design. In this research design, it is classified into two groups, they are intervention and control by using quota sampling technique. By 36 people as the samples, data is gained by spreading questionnaire and counseling. Based on the analysis of data, it shows that the average level of anxiety after given health education about dysmenorrheal in the intervention group is 1,50, whereas the average level of anxiety after given health education in the control group is 1,06. This shows that there is the difference of the average of dysmenorrheal pain level between group that is given counseling and group that is not given counseling about giving birth preparation. Two independent samples are tested using mann-whitney test to the data that do not distribute abnormally. After mannwhitney test are done, it generates p-value of 0,003. That p-value 0,003 < α (0,05), so Ho is rejected that means there are some influences of counseling of giving birth preparation to the anxiety level of primigravida before giving birth in Puskesmas Sindang Barang. There some influences of counseling about the preparation of giving birth to the anxiety level of primigravida before giving birth in Puskesmas Sindang barang.

Hemodialysis is a routinely performed therapy on chronic kidney patients, leading to psychological problems among subjects who undergo hemodialysis, such as anxiety and depression. One of the efforts to overcome anxiety and depression is with the dhikr intervention. Dhikr presents hearts to remember and be obedient to Allah followed by the words and actions in various conditions.  Discover dhikr's influence on the level of anxiety and depression in patients on hemodialysis in  Purwokerto Islamic Hospital. It was a quantitative study using quasi experiment with a non-quivalent control group design. The number of samples was 12 subjects consisting of 6 subjects in the control group and six subjects in the intervention group with the purposive sampling technique. Instruments were used to measure anxiety and depression are the HADS ( Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale ) before and after dhikr intervention as much as 12 times. Research is carried out in Hemodialysis Unit of  Purwokerto Islamic Hospital. Test statistics on research are used paired t-test and independent t-tests. This study showed a decrease in the mean level of anxiety from 5, 83 to 1.67 in the experimental group ( p = 0.003). The mean level of depression experienced a decline of 9, 67 becomes 4.67 on a group experiment ( p = 0.003). Dhikr reduces the level of anxiety and depression in hemodialysis patients at the Purwokerto Islamic Hospital.

Background: Wet cupping, furthermore mentioned cupping, decreases blood pressures through the level of negative air pressures added by hydrostatics filtration pressure to reinforce the power of fluids filtration in capillaries. However, an appropriate negative air pressure to decrease blood pressure remains an uncertainty.Purpose: This study aimed to analyze negative air pressure differences on cupping in decreasing blood pressures in hypertensive patients.Methods: This is a quasi-experimental design conducted in three Community Health Centers in Langsa City, Aceh, Indonesia. The samples were 36 hypertensive males with age from 45 to 55, who were randomly stratified into two groups with cupping pressures 400 mbar (n=18) as the control group; and 540 mbar (n=18) as the intervention group. The cupping session was performed to each group on T1 (alkahil) point and in the middle line of both shoulders blade points. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressures (DBP) were measured by validated automatic sphygmomanometer. The follow-up periods were one week and two weeks. The data were then analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA.Results: Cupping pressure of 400 mbar decreased the mean of SBP and DPB with a p-value of 0.450 and 0.026, respectively after two weeks of intervention. Meanwhile, cupping pressure of 540 mbar decreased the mean of SBP and DBP with a p-value of 0.006 and 0.057, respectively. Tests of within-subjects resulted in the p-value of 0.250 (SBP) and 0.176 (DBP) after two weeks of intervention. There were no significant differences in SBP and DBP between the intervention group and the control group.Conclusion: The cupping pressure between 400 mbar and 540 mbar could reduce blood pressure; however, the cupping pressure of 540 mbar yielded greater effect in decreasing blood pressure than the 400 mbar. Negative air vacuum pressure loads on cupping to decrease blood pressure should be considered between 400 to 540 mbar, and further studies are needed.
