Coloring Play Therapy on Hospitalization Anxiety Levels in Preschool-Aged Children
No full textHospitalization can trigger a range of reactions, from mild to severe, that interfere with a child's care and potentially impede the recovery process. The prevalence of anxiety in children reaches 60-80% of the general population during hospitalization, thus requiring special attention from caregivers. This study aimed to identify the effect of coloring picture play therapy on the anxiety levels of preschool children during their stay at Madani Regional General Hospital, Palu. This quantitative study employed a pre-experimental method with a single-group pre-test-post-test design. The population consisted of 337 children hospitalized over the last three months. A sample of 53 participants who met the inclusion criteria was selected using cluster random sampling. Data on anxiety levels were collected before and after the coloring picture play therapy and were analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test at a significance level of p<0,05. The results showed that before the therapy, one child (1,9%) had mild anxiety, 10(18,9%) had moderate anxiety, 39(73,6%) had severe anxiety, and 3(5,7%) experienced panic. After the therapy, no subjects were found to have severe anxiety or panic; anxiety levels shifted to moderate for 32,1% and mild for 67,9% of the children. Based on the findings, which indicate a significant decrease in anxiety (p<0,05), it is concluded that coloring picture play therapy is effective in reducing hospitalization-induced anxiety in preschool children

Education on Hospitalization Reactions to Increase Parental Involvement in Yarsi General Hospital, Pontianak
No full textHospitalization not only causes anxiety and stress for children but also their parents. One of the factors behind this is the lack of parental knowledge about the disease and reactions to hospitalization, thus increasing anxiety which has an impact on the lack of parental participation in care. Parents with high anxiety levels tend to be less than optimal in caring for children while in the hospital, which can be shown by parental participation. This study aimed to analyze the effect of education on hospitalization reactions on parental participation in the children's room of Yarsi Pontianak General Hospital. The research design used was a quasi experiment with a pretest-posttest without control group approach. The sample size was 30 children who were treated in the pediatric room of Yarsi Pontianak General Hospital. The instrument used was a parent participation questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The bivariate test used Wilcoxon Signed Rank to identify the effect of education on hospitalization reactions on parental participation. The results of bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon test obtained a p-value of 0,042 which indicated the effect of education on hospitalization reactions on parental participation. There is an effect of education about hospitalization reactions on parental participation in the children's room of Yarsi General Hospital Pontianak. Nurses are expected to be more active in involving parents in child care
Empowering Pregnant Women in Choosing Postpartum Contraception Using Digital Booklet
No full textThe rate of postpartum contraceptive use remained relatively low. Based on data from BKKBN, only around 36% of mothers used postpartum contraception. The low utilization of Postpartum Family Planning (PFP) increased the risk of closely spaced pregnancies, which contributed to high maternal and infant mortality rates (MMR and IMR). PFP played a significant role in reducing MMR and stunting. In 2022, according to Senior Expert of the Presidential Staff Office, Dr. Brian Sri Prahastuti, the achievement of PFP was only around 35,78% of the 40% target. Various factors influenced the low acceptance of postpartum contraceptives, with lack of knowledge being one of the primary causes. This lack of knowledge and family support was also due to the limited dissemination of information, resulting in pregnant women and their families being unaware of the importance of PFP. This activity aimed to promote PFP by empowering pregnant women through the use of a digital booklet. The implementation followed five stages: planning, action, observation, evaluation, and reflection. The activity was conducted on November 19, 2024, in the pregnant women’s class at TPMB Nomretti. The results showed an increase in maternal knowledge after counseling through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) using the digital booklet, with average knowledge scores increasing from 4,9 to 8,9. In addition, five out of eight pregnant women stated that they intended to use PFP, two with IUDs and three with implants. In conclusion, PFP achievement could be improved if counseling was provided to pregnant women using engaging educational media

Lavender Oil Massage Therapy to Treat Restless Legs Syndrome Symptoms in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
No full textMassage therapy can be used to reduce symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Massage therapy is a light touch and massage technique that can increase relaxation in the body by triggering a feeling of comfort through the skin surface and reducing pain, this is because massage stimulates the body to release endorphin compounds. The purpose of this study was to describe the symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients before and after receiving lavender oil massage therapy. This study used a case report design. The subjects were Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients with symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). The data were analyzed descriptively by comparing RLS symptoms before and after the lavender oil massage therapy. Data were conducted using descriptive analysis by looking at the symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) before and after massage therapy. The findings showed that after lavender oil massage therapy was applied twice in conjunction with hemodialysis sessions, RLS symptom scores decreased from 29 (severe) to 20 (moderate). The application of lavender oil massage therapy can reduce RLS symptoms in CKD patients, so massage therapy can be used as an intervention to reduce RLS symptoms
Urgency of Evaluation of Stunting Handling Programs and Activities
No full textStunting remains a serious public health issue in Indonesia, including in Jepara Regency, due to its detrimental effects on children’s physical growth and cognitive development, threatening future human resource quality. Addressing stunting in Jepara is crucial given its high prevalence and long-term consequences. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of stunting prevention programs in Jepara and to identify weaknesses and opportunities for improvement. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. Content analysis was applied to assess program effectiveness, identify obstacles, and formulate strategic recommendations. Interventions such as supplementary feeding (PMT) and integrated activities at village and sub-district levels showed mixed results. Among 41 children who received PMT for 90 days, only 2 successfully overcame stunting. The limited success was attributed to poor cross-sector coordination, suboptimal resource allocation, and low community participation. To enhance program effectiveness, a prevention-based approach is needed, including strengthening governance, developing technology-based data systems, and increasing community involvement. This study provides strategic recommendations to support the reduction of stunting prevalence in Jepara and contributes to achieving the national stunting reduction targets
