Abstract

Elderly individuals (aged >60 years) commonly experience physiological changes that affect various organ functions. In addition to physiological decline, biological factors such as decreased immune function also make them highly susceptible to degenerative diseases. Among these, neuromuscular disorders such as paraesthesia (tingling sensation) are frequently encountered. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of combining hand therapeutic exercise and hand ball exercise in reducing paraesthesia symptoms and improving functional activity in the wrist area of elderly individuals. This research used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The study involved elderly participants from a senior daycare community in Semarang. The Paired Sample Test yielded a significant result with a p-value of <0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference before and after the intervention. The combination of hand therapeutic exercise and hand ball exercise effectively reduces the symptoms of paraesthesia and improves wrist functional activity in elderly individuals.

Abstract

The risk of accidents in the school environment is quite high, but the ability of the School Health Business Team (UKS) to handle emergencies is often still limited to theoretical knowledge without adequate practical skills. This study aims to analyze the influence of the Role Playing and Emergency Simulation (RANGGA) method on the improvement of the knowledge and skills of the UKS Team in junior high school. This study used a quasi-experiment design with a pre-post test with control group design. The research sample amounted to 60 respondents which were taken by purposive sampling technique. The intervention group was given RANGGA training, while the control group was given conventional education. The data were analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test because the data distribution was abnormal. In the intervention group, there was an increase in the average knowledge score from 88.7 to 97.9 and the skill score from 87.99 to 97.98. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of p<0.001 for both variables in the intervention group, indicating a very strong influence of the RANGGA method. In contrast, although the control group experienced an improvement, the variation in scores remained higher and the improvement was not as significant as the intervention group. The RANGGA method is significantly effective in improving the emergency competence of the UKS Team through an experiential learning approach. It is recommended for school institutions to integrate simulation and role play methods in the UKS training curriculum to ensure optimal emergency response readiness.
