Abstract

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that negatively affects individuals' cognitive, emotional, and social functioning, often resulting in a diminished quality of life. While pharmacological interventions remain the primary treatment, complementary spiritual therapies have gained interest for their holistic benefits. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Gayatri mantra spiritual treatment on the quality of life among patients with schizophrenia. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used, involving 22 participants selected through purposive sampling at a provincial mental hospital in Bali. Participants received daily Gayatri mantra sessions for three consecutive weeks. The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) instrument was used to assess outcomes, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The findings showed a significant improvement in quality of life following the intervention. This study highlights the potential value of integrating spiritual practices into nursing care as a complementary therapeutic strategy to support mental health recovery and enhance overall patient well-being.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual disorder among adolescent girls and often leads to physical discomfort, reduced academic participation, and impaired quality of life. While pharmacological approaches are widely used, non-pharmacological interventions such as yoga are gaining recognition for their potential in managing menstrual pain. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based yoga intervention in reducing primary dysmenorrhea among female adolescents. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 30 purposively selected tenth-grade students experiencing moderate primary dysmenorrhea. The intervention consisted of 30-minute yoga sessions conducted daily over five consecutive days, incorporating breathing techniques, physical postures, and relaxation exercises. Pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using the Visual Analog Scale, and data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test following normality confirmation. The results indicated a substantial reduction in dysmenorrhea pain intensity after the intervention, suggesting that yoga may serve as an effective non-pharmacological strategy for menstrual pain relief in adolescents. These findings highlight the potential of integrating structured yoga programs into school health initiatives as a culturally adaptable and accessible approach to enhancing adolescent menstrual health and well-being. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting holistic, school-based health promotion and offers practical implications for nursing education, adolescent health services, and future research in non-pharmacological pain management

Abstract

Anxiety can harm behavior, social functioning, and the rehabilitation process, especially in adolescents in conflict with the law. This study aims to analyze the effect of mindfulness meditation therapy on anxiety levels in adolescents in conflict with the law at the Paramita Mataram Center. The study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test post-test pre-experimental design. All adolescents who met the inclusion criteria were involved as research samples, with a total of 48 respondents through total sampling. Anxiety levels were measured before and after the intervention using a questionnaire. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The results showed a decrease in anxiety levels after mindfulness meditation therapy. The decrease was marked by a shift in the anxiety category from moderate to low or no anxiety. These findings indicate that mindfulness meditation is effective in helping adolescents improve emotional regulation and psychological awareness. This intervention has practical relevance as a promotive and preventive approach in mental health services for adolescents in conflict with the law.
