The patient experiences a headache in the nape and forehead area, with a moderate level of pain intensity that has a detrimental effect on their comfort. Purpose: To determine the most appropriate non-pharmacological therapy for the management of headache pain in patients with hypertension. Method: Literature review study with journal article search was conducted on the ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar and Ebsco search databases published in 2019-2024 in English and Indonesian. The keywords used were "non-pharmacological therapy, headache, hypertension". Researchers found 518 articles, after selection, 12 articles were obtained to be reviewed using JBI Quality Appraisal. Results: The 12 selected articles present a variety of non-pharmacological therapies that can be performed, including relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, massage, acupuncture, and the use of warm compresses. Non-pharmacological therapy has both management and side effects. The results of the analysis demonstrated that the most effective therapy for managing headaches is warm compresses, when compared to other therapies. The administration of warm compresses, specifically the application of compresses to the neck for a duration of 10 to 15 minutes once per day for a period of seven days, resulted in a reduction of the mean pain score among hypertensive patients by 3.1 points. Conclusion: The most efficacious non-pharmacological therapy for the alleviation of head pain is the application of warm compresses. Keywords: Headache; Hypertension; Non-pharmacological Therapy.

Title: Pengetahuan, sikap dan praktik terkait pencegahan penyakit demam berdarah Authors: Nopratilova, Nopratilova; Farmasita Budiastuti, Rizky; Budipratama Adina, Anugerah; Lestari, Ika; Cahya Imanda, Radita Abstract: Abstract Background: Dengue fever is transmitted by the bite of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes infected with dengue virus from dengue sufferers. Transmission of this disease is influenced by several factors, including lack of public knowledge about dengue fever, low levels of education and awareness, and limited access to health services, especially in remote areas. Purpose: To evaluate knowledge, attitudes and practices related to dengue fever prevention. Method: Used a cross-sectional design with data collection via online questionnaires. A total of 101 JGU students participated in this research. The questionnaire includes statements about knowledge about dengue fever, attitudes towards prevention, and prevention practices implemented. Data were analyzed using Kruskall Wallis' descriptive and non-parametric statistics to see the relationship between faculty influence and the level of knowledge about dengue fever. Results: The majority were aged 18-22 years (75.2%) and female (73.3%). Based on knowledge about dengue fever, 98.0% of respondents understood that insecticide spray can reduce mosquitoes and 99% knew that removing stagnant water can prevent mosquito breeding. Regarding the symptoms of dengue fever, 97.0% of respondents knew that high fever for 2-7 days is a common symptom and 84.2% recognized rash as a symptom. However, understanding of dengue transmission through direct contact could be further improved. Based on attitudes, 78.2% of respondents agreed that they had carried out various dengue prevention activities and 64.4% wanted to help reduce cases in their area. Based on practice, 69.3% of respondents used mosquito repellent lotion or spray and 60.4% cleaned the bathtub at least once a week. Kruskall Wallis analysis showed no significant difference in the level of knowledge about dengue fever between students from various faculties (H < 5.991). Conclusion: Knowledge, attitudes and practices have an influence in controlling and preventing dengue fever and there are no significant differences in the distribution of students' knowledge levels between the three faculties. Keywords: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever; Prevention; Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP).
