Basic immunization helps to prevent infectious diseases in toddlers. It increases immunity and reduces morbidity and mortality. However, full basic immunization coverage is low in several areas, including the Darul Imarah Health Center, Aceh Besar. Family support is considered one of the influencing factors. This support can be emotional, informational, instrumental, or appraisal. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between family support and the completeness of basic vaccinations for toddlers in the service area of ​​the Darul Imarah Community Health Center in Aceh Besar. This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design. Using a probability random sampling method, the sample size was 90 respondents out of 817 respondents in the population. The research was conducted from May 5th to 24th, 2025. The study used both bivariate and univariate analyses. The data collection was analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a relationship between family support and toddler immunization completion, with a P-value of 0.003 (p<0.05). The conclusion indicates a relationship between family support and immunization completion. Therefore, this research provides insight for the family's role in improving basic immunization coverage for toddlers. The findings may help the Darul Imarah Health Center and healthcare workers design strategies for socialization and family support to reach complete immunization targets.

Hypertension is categorized as one of the most widespread chronic non-infectious conditions among the elderly and can heighten the risk of serious complications. A non-pharmacological strategy that may be implemented to manage hypertension is the administration of boiled moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera), which are known among scientific communities for possessing antioxidant agents and potent bioactive molecules that function synergistically in maintaining cardiovascular stability and decreasing arterial pressure. This empirical study sought to examine how far the intake of boiled moringa leaves contributes to reducing blood pressure values in hypertensive older adults living within Meunasah Papeun Village, situated in Krueng Barona Jaya Subdistrict, Aceh Besar District. The statistical evaluation showed a significant p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), confirming a substantial effect under a quantitative quasi-experimental approach applying the One Group Pretest-Posttest model. The research sample included 20 participants chosen from a total population of 77 individuals through purposive sampling. The investigation took place from May 27 to June 25. Data were obtained using observation forms, standard operating procedures (SOP) for moringa leaf preparation, and manual sphygmomanometer readings. The findings revealed that prior to the application of treatment, the mean systolic blood pressure reached a level of 193.30 mmHg, whereas following the intervention it displayed a considerable decrease, it fell to 129.75 mmHg. The mean diastolic pressure also exhibited a decrease from 94.00 mmHg, confirming the notable influence of moringa leaf decoction in controlling hypertension. In summary, moringa leaf infusion proved effective in lowering blood pressure among elderly individuals suffering from hypertension. It is recommended that patients regularly consume boiled moringa leaves when experiencing increased blood pressure, that community health services provide education regarding non-pharmacological hypertension management through moringa leaf decoction, and that further research explore this topic with broader variables.
