However, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia, including Medan City, remains below the national target. This study aimed to identify barriers to exclusive breastfeeding among breastfeeding mothers at Darusallam Public Health Center, Medan. A quantitative descriptive survey design was applied, involving 140 mothers with infants aged 0–6 months. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate (chi-square test), and multivariate (multiple logistic regression). The results showed that only 39.29% of respondents practiced exclusive breastfeeding, while 60.71% did not. The main barriers identified were lack of maternal knowledge (35.0%), employment factors (32.1%), and low family support (18.6%). Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between maternal education, employment status, family support, and knowledge with exclusive breastfeeding practice (<em>p</em>&lt;0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that maternal knowledge was the most dominant factor with OR=8.17 (<em>p</em>=0.001), followed by family support (OR=5.93), education (OR=3.38), while maternal employment was found to be a barrier (OR=0.23). It can be concluded that maternal knowledge is the most dominant barrier to exclusive breastfeeding practice, along with family support and employment. Therefore, public health interventions should focus on improving maternal knowledge through education and lactation counseling, strengthening family support, and implementing mother-friendly workplace policies that provide adequate lactation facilities.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 2025-12-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Ilmiah PANNMED (Pharmacist, Analyst, Nurse, Nutrition, Midwivery, Environment, Dentist) https://ojs.poltekkes-medan.ac.id/pannmed/article/view/2321 THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BUTTERFLY PEA (CLITORIA TERNATEA) TEA CONSUMPTION IN REDUCING BLOOD PRESSURE AMONG ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION 2025-10-27T08:33:37+07:00 Sri Nasution nasutionsribulan@gmail.com Halimah Fitriani Pane halimah.f1972@gmail.com Sifa Salsabila sifasalsabila2408@gmail.com <p><em>Hypertension is one of the major health problems among the elderly, which poses a high risk of cardiovascular complications.

Therefore, to prevent the risk of developing TB, regular medication intake is essential for tuberculosis patients. Non-adherence to treatment in pulmonary TB patients is influenced by several factors, one of which is nurses. Community nurses emphasize health promotion and prevention activities as crucial. The environment is one contributing factor to the disease, in this case. Wetlands are considered a source of disease, such as mosquito breeding grounds, leading to the spread of many diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and other wetland-related diseases. This literature review aims to examine the role of community nurses in improving adherence to anti-tuberculosis medication in patients with tuberculosis in wetlands. Articles were searched using databases including PubMed and Google Scholar, with the following inclusion criteria: full-text articles, published between 2014 and 2025, and with a DOI. The literature search revealed that community nurses play a crucial role in improving adherence to anti-tuberculosis medication management in TB patients.

Hypertensive patients often complain of difficulty sleeping and heart palpitations, leading to body aches, headaches, fatigue, and disturbed daily activities in the morning. This is caused by an increase in cortisol hormone, which destabilizes blood pressure, potentially leading to complications and impairing the patient's quality of life. A non-pharmacological approach to reduce sleep pattern disturbances due to hypertension is the use of lavender aromatherapy. This study aims to determine whether lavender aromatherapy is effective in reducing sleep pattern disturbances experienced by hypertensive patients experienced. Case Study Methods: This was a qualitative descriptive study using a case study approach with two female participants over 55 years old who experienced hypertension with sleep pattern disturbances. The research was conducted in Sipan Village, Sarudik Sub-district, Central Tapanuli Regency, in 2025. Data collection involved PSQI observation, interviews, physical examinations, and documentation review. Results: A decrease in sleep pattern disturbances was observed after 7 days of therapy for both patient one and patient two. Patient one's score decreased from 15 to 2, and patient two's score decreased from 15 (poor sleep quality) to 2, indicating good sleep quality for both participants.

TB is the 13th leading cause of death globally and the leading cause of death from infectious diseases after the Covid-19 virus, even higher than HIV/AIDS. The WHO found that the number of TB patients worldwide reached 10.6 million in 2022. Indonesia is the second-largest contributor of TB cases (10%) after India (27%). The estimated TB incidence in Indonesia in 2021 was 969,000 or 354 per 100,000 population. Deaths due to TB are estimated at 144,000 or 52 per 100,000 population. The Tapanuli Tengah District Health Office recorded 750 TB cases in 2022. For the Pandan Community Health Center, the number of TB cases in 2022 was 38 with 2 deaths. The occurrence of TB is strongly influenced by host and environmental factors. This study aims to identify the risk factors for TB occurrence in the Working Area of Pandan Community Health Center, Central Tapanuli Regency. The outcomes of this study include publications in nationally accredited journals and learning modules. The results of the study indicate that the risk factors for TB occurrence in the Working Area of Pandan Community Health Center, Central Tapanuli Regency, are gender (p value = 0.438, OR = 1.714), knowledge (p value = 0.034, OR = 3.755), and residential density (p value = 0.747, OR = 1.522), ventilation area (p value= 0.045, OR= 6.000), and type of floor (p value= 1.000, OR= 1.144). Meanwhile, factors that are not considered risk factors for TB occurrence in the Pandan Community Health Center Work Area, Central Tapanuli Regency are age (p value= 0.182, OR= 0.306), nutritional status (p value= 0.144, OR= 0.345), and smoking status (p value= 0.211, OR= 0.412). It is expected that future researchers will examine in more depth the variables that are not associated with TB occurrence in this study.

Ensuring proper food hygiene and sanitation is essential to safeguard food safety and program sustainability. This descriptive observational study examined the implementation of hygiene and sanitation practices in the MBG Program, including raw material selection, food processing, packaging, distribution, and cleanliness. The study also assessed the knowledge and attitudes of food handlers responsible for preparing 3,300 daily portions for kindergarten, elementary, junior high, and senior high school students. Data were collected through surveys, observations, and interviews with 14 representatives of the MBG kitchen team in District X. Most food handlers demonstrated good knowledge (78.6%) and supportive attitudes (92.9%) toward hygiene and sanitation. However, handwashing practices and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) were inconsistently applied, and the use of closed footwear was low (35.7%). Key challenges included inadequate food storage practices, serving times exceeding standards, high workloads, and limited facilities. Although the MBG Program is functioning relatively well, continuous training, additional staffing, improved facilities, and better scheduling systems are required to strengthen food safety and enhance program quality..</em></p> 2025-12-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Ilmiah PANNMED (Pharmacist, Analyst, Nurse, Nutrition, Midwivery, Environment, Dentist) https://ojs.poltekkes-medan.ac.id/pannmed/article/view/2415 PENGARUH PENDIDIKAN, KEBIASAAN MEROKOK, DAN KEPATUHAN AKTIVITAS FISIK TERHADAP RISIKO HIPERTENSI DI WILAYAH KERJA PUSKESMAS RASAU JAYA 2025-12-10T08:43:01+07:00 Marsha Julita Dwi Pratiwi 221510045@unmuhpnk.ac.id Dedi Alamsyah dedialamsyah@unmuhpnk.ac.id Selviana 3selviana@unmuhpnk.ac.id Helfi Nolia helfinolia@gmail.com <p><em>Hypertension is a chronic health problem that often goes undetected and can lead to serious complications such as stroke, heart failure, and kidney disorders.
