Abstract

Family anxiety in the Emergency Department (ED) commonly occurs due to uncertainty regarding the patient’s condition and limited understanding of initial treatment procedures. This condition may influence the family’s ability to receive information and support patient care. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family anxiety levels and knowledge of initial patient management in the Emergency Department of RSUD M.M. Dunda Limboto. A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 91 respondents selected through accidental sampling. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), while knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire on initial patient management. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents experienced mild anxiety (42.9%) and had low knowledge levels (36.3%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between family anxiety levels and knowledge of initial patient management (p = 0.000). These findings indicate that family anxiety is associated with their understanding of emergency care procedures. Strengthening health education and effective communication by healthcare professionals is necessary to reduce anxiety and improve family comprehension during emergency services.

Abstract

Adolescent sexual behavior is a significant public health concern due to its association with sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancies, and psychosocial problems. Limited knowledge about reproductive health increases adolescents’ vulnerability to risky sexual behavior, highlighting the importance of effective educational interventions. This study aimed to analyze the effect of psychoeducation on adolescents’ sexual behavior knowledge at SMP Negeri 1 Telaga, Indonesia. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was used. The sample consisted of 38 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire before and after psychoeducation intervention and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed an improvement in knowledge after the intervention, with the mean score increasing from 2.05 to 2.39. Statistical analysis indicated a significant effect of psychoeducation on adolescents’ knowledge (p < 0.05). Psychoeducation is an effective strategy for improving adolescents’ understanding of sexual health and can be implemented as a school-based health promotion program to support healthy behavioral development.
