THE EFFECT OF ANIMATED VIDEOS AS A MEDIUM FOR REDUCING PRE-OPERATIVE ANXIENTY WITH GENERAL ANESTHESIA
Full text linkBackground: Preoperative anxiety is a common emotional response in patients undergoing surgical procedures, including laparotomy with general anaesthesia. Effective preoperative education can be one strategy to reduce anxiety. Animated videos about the anaesthesia procedure can improve patients\u27 understanding and reduce their anxiety about medical procedures. This study aimed to determine the effect of animated videos as an educational medium in reducing preoperative anxiety in laparotomy with general anaesthesia. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach with a control group. The sample consisted of 30 patients scheduled for laparotomy at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital, divided into 2 groups. Anxiety was measured using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS). Data was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test.Results: This study shows that in the intervention group, the majority of respondents before watching the animated video had moderate anxiety levels, with 8 respondents (53.3%). After being given the animated video, the majority of respondents showed mild anxiety levels, with 6 respondents (40.0%). In the control group, the majority of respondents had moderate anxiety levels, with 8 respondents (53.3%). After being given nursing care from the hospital without being given the animated video, the majority of respondents showed mild anxiety levels, with 9 respondents (60.0%). Data analysis showed a significant decrease in anxiety scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The use of animated educational media is recommended as part of standard preoperative preparation in hospitals

No full textBackground: According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), a total of 1,427 cases of violence against children under the age of 18 occurred. One of the most common forms of violence in the school environment is bullying, particularly in the form of verbal teasing, with a prevalence of up to 75% among students. However, only 45% of victims are willing to report such incidents. Bullying behaviour is influenced by factors such as knowledge and attitude. The research objective is to identify the correlation between knowledge and attitudes toward bullying behaviour among SMA Negeri 5 Surakarta students.Methods: A correlational quantitative approach was used in this research. The population consisted of all 128 tenth-grade students, and 97 respondents were selected using simple random sampling based on the Slovin formula. The independent variables were knowledge and attitude, while the dependent variable was bullying behaviour. Data were collected using questionnaires and analysed using the Chi-square statistical test.Results: The analysis showed no significant correlation between the level of knowledge and bullying behaviour (p-value = 0.983), and no significant correlation between attitude and bullying behaviour (p-value = 0.363).Conclusion: Furthermore, most students reported never engaging in bullying, totalling 93 respondents (95.9%). There was no significant relationship between knowledge and bullying behaviour, with a p-value of 0.569 > 0.05.

OPTIMIZING BALANCE AND COORDINATION THROUGH INTEGRATED PHYSICAL EXERCISE IN PATIENTS FOLLOWING FRACTURE SURGERY
Full text linkBackground: The high incidence of traffic accidents has led to a significant increase in fractures, particularly of the lower extremities, many of which require treatment through Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) procedures. Post-ORIF patients commonly experience pain and fear in performing daily activities, including impaired balance and coordination. To address this condition, a structured and progressive integrated physical exercise intervention is necessary. This study aims to evaluate the impact of an integrated intervention that combines physical activity, pain management, and enhancement of fall efficacy on the functional status of patients recovering from lower extremity fracture surgery using the Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) procedure.Methods: The study was conducted using a pre-experimental design with a single-group pretest-posttest approach to 53 post-ORIF patients with lower extremity fractures treated in the inpatient ward of Sragen Regional General Hospital, Surakarta. Instruments used included the Barthel Index to assess functional status, the Fall Efficacy Scale, and a clinical observation sheet to evaluate physical ability. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon test.Results: Data showed an improvement in balance function, coordination, and overall functional status in post-ORIF patients with lower extremity fractures after receiving the integrated activity training intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a statistically significant effect.Conclusion: The study demonstrates that an integrated physical exercise program combined with pain management and fall efficacy enhancement has a significant impact on improving balance, coordination, and functional status in patients recovering from fractures
EFFECTIVENESS OF PEER-BASED HEALTH EDUCATION WITH AUDIO-VISUAL MEDIA IN ENHANCING EMERGENCY TRIAGE COMPETENCE
Full text linkBackground: Emergency conditions necessitate prompt and appropriate management to mitigate the risks of disability and mortality. A fundamental component of emergency care is triage, which serves to prioritise patient treatment based on the severity of their condition and guide the necessary clinical interventions. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of peer-led health education supported by audio-visual media in improving students\u27 comprehension of emergency triage procedures.Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was implemented. The research population comprised second-semester nursing students from STIKES Hutama Abdi Husada Tulungagung. A purposive sampling method was used to select 41 participants. The educational intervention was delivered through peer-led sessions and supplemented with audio-visual media. Data were gathered using a validated structured questionnaire and analysed employing the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann-Whitney U test.Results: Analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test yielded a statistically significant result (p = 0.000) in both intervention groups, demonstrating that the health education provided had a meaningful impact on students\u27 understanding of emergency triage. Furthermore, the Mann-Whitney U test indicated a mean rank of 35.43 for participants in the peer education group and 47.57 for those in the audio-visual group, with a significance level of p = 0.019. Conclusion: The findings confirm that both peer-led and audio-visual-based health education methods are effective in increasing nursing students\u27 knowledge of emergency triage. Nevertheless, the audio-visual approach demonstrated superior outcomes and is, therefore, recommended as the preferred strategy for enhancing triage competency in educational settings

Collected data were analyzed using QSR NVIVO 12 Pro. The findings reveal that adolescents’ understanding of marriage maturityis still limited, and the threat of premarital sexual behavior is perceived as low by most Informant. Factors such as perceptions of severity adolescents are quite good because they have seen firsthand the impacts of premarital sex. For response efficacy and self-efficacy in delaying the age of marriage, these are relatively high among adolescents exposed to PUP. This is because they have parental and peer support providing information related to PUP. Additionally, social environment, media exposure, and education levels shape adolescents\u27 responses to marriage maturityas a protective measure
