Abstract

Background of the study: Social media has become a traffic information exchange, both true and false information. Therefore, social media users should not simply believe the information they received. This paper investigates the process of evaluating news on social media carried out by students in assessing the news they find on social media, and their ability to distinguish factual and false news.Purpose: It is to find out more about the process of students evaluating news on social media by assessing the news they found on social media, and how can they know which is the factual news and which is the fake news.Method: This research uses qualitative research methods with a descriptive approach. This research was conducted at Gadjah Mada University. The purposive sampling technique was chosen to be used in determining participants.Findings: Overall, participants were able to identify almost all news articles. Participants are able to identify almost all factual news articles correctly and most fake news articles correctly. Only a small portion of all news articles cannot be correctly identified by participants. Participants are better to identify factual news than fake news.Conclusion: Although participants already have experience in finding fake news on social media and have self-taught knowledge about how to distinguish fake news from reliable news, this is no guarantee that they can tell the news article they got fake news or factual news. The researcher wants to give advice to the academic library to provide training on the characteristics of reliable referral sources and to think critically in assessing information as part of student information literacy training.

Abstract

Background: Uncontrolled hypertension or high blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Non-pharmacological treatment has become an important part of hypertension management. Aerobic exercise and yoga breathing exercise (pranayama) are types of non-pharmacological treatment that have an effect on lowering blood pressure. This study aims to examine the effect of aerobic exercise and yoga breathing exercise (prana­yama) on blood pressure in hypertensive patients.Subjects and Method: The meta-analysis was carried out according to the PRISMA guidelines. Articles with randomized controlled trial study designs published in 2010-2020 were included using databases from PubMed, Science Direct, Research Gate, and Google Scholer. Based on the database, there were 20 articles that met the inclusion criteria. This study involved 1564 subjects which were divided into, 953 aerobic exercise subjects and 611 yoga breathing exercise (pranayama) subjects. The analysis was carried out using RevMan 5.4 software.Results: A total of 20 articles were reviewed in the meta-analysis. A total of 11 articles in the meta-analysis showed a statistically significant effect of the aerobic exercise intervention on reducing systolic blood pressure (SMD = -0.93; 95% CI= -1.33 to -0.53; p< 0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (SMD= -0.56; 95% CI= -0.92 to -0.20; p= 0.002). A total of 9 articles conducted meta-analysis showed a statistically significant effect of yoga breathing exercise (pranayama) intervention on reducing systolic blood pressure (SMD= -1.68; 95% CI= -2.52 to -0.84; p< 0.001). There was a statistically insignificant effect on the decrease in diastolic blood pressure (SMD= -0.65; 95% CI= -1.54 to 0.25; p= 0.16).Conclusion: Aerobic exercise and yoga breathing exercise (pranayama) can lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Keywords: Aerobic exercise, yoga breathing exercise, pranayama, blood pressure, hyper­tension, meta analysisCorrespondence: Khairunissa.
