Abstract

Background: Nursing students have a higher risk of depression due to their high academic burden, social isolation, pandemic loneliness, abrupt online learning, and financial difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Although the disruption of social network patterns during the pandemic has been observed in previous studies, it is still not fully understood which source of social support is associated with depression among nursing students.Purpose: This study aimed to assess the correlations between sources of social support and depression among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: An online cross-sectional study was conducted between May and September 2021. Nursing students (n=734) from seven universities across four provinces in Indonesia were recruited as participants using convenience sampling methods. Data were obtained through online questionnaires consisting of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) to assess social support and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to assess depression. Spearman-Rank correlation tests were used to examine the correlations between sources of social support and depression.   Results: Most of the nursing students (85.1%) were female, with a mean age of 19.94 years (SD=1.42). Many nursing students (n=313; 42.6%) experienced depression. Most of the students (n=465; 63.4%) perceived high family support, moderate friends (n=415; 56.5%) and significant others’ support (n=437; 59.5%). Of the three sources of social support (family, friends, and significant others), only family support had a significant inverse correlation with depression (Rho=-0.492, p<0.001).Conclusion: Family support had a significant inverse and moderate correlation with depression among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings provided information to nursing educators to incorporate a strategy to maintain robust family support and regular depression assessments as part of the online learning curriculum. Therefore, it can be used to ameliorate depression among nursing students.

Abstract

Background: School-age children are vulnerable to infectious diseases that can potentially lead to death. Proper handwashing is one of the effective measures for prevention. Preventive actions become more effective when health education is delivered using demonstration and storytelling methods. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of health education using demonstration and storytelling methods on the level of handwashing knowledge among first-grade elementary school students in Krogowanan Village, Sawangan, Magelang. Methods: The research was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-test and post-test design without a control group. A total sampling technique was employed, involving 42 respondents who were divided into two groups based on the method used: demonstration and storytelling. A questionnaire was used as the research instrument. Data were analysed using the Paired T-Test and the Independent T-Test.Results: The results of the Independent T-Test revealed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000 < 0.05) in handwashing knowledge between the groups that received demonstration and storytelling interventions. The mean increase was higher in the storytelling group (2.1429) than in the demonstration group (1.8571).Conclusions: It indicates that the storytelling method was more effective in improving handwashing skills in first-grade elementary school children.
