Abstract

Background: This study aimed to examine the effect of non-pharmacological therapy, specifically progressive muscle relaxation and Benson relaxation, on anxiety levels in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is known to trigger psychological disorders, including anxiety, which can negatively affect treatment outcomes. Methods: A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was applied, involving 43 purposively selected respondents. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Results: The majority of respondents were aged 46–55 years, had completed high school or vocational school, were unemployed, and had undergone chemotherapy 1–6 times. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a significant reduction in anxiety scores after the intervention. Conclussion: These findings indicate that progressive muscle relaxation and Benson relaxation are effective in reducing anxiety among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, highlighting the importance of integrating non-pharmacological interventions into supportive oncology care.

Abstract

Background: The climacteric phase is a critical transitional period often accompanied by physical, emotional, and psychosocial changes that may influence an individual’s ability to cope with stress. This study analyzed the relationship between adaptive coping mechanisms and stress levels among elderly retirees using a sequential mixed-methods design. Methods: A total of 169 respondents participated in the quantitative phase, followed by in-depth interviews with 10 key informants. Results: Fisher’s Exact Test revealed a significant association between adaptive coping and stress levels (p = 0.000; p < 0.05), while age and gender were not significant factors. Qualitative insights emphasized the vital role of social support from family, peers, and the community in strengthening adaptive coping and emotional well-being. Both findings indicates that enhancing adaptive coping and social support effectively reduces stress among older adults. Conclussion: These results highlight the need for community-based mental health initiatives and post-retirement support programs to promote resilience and improve the quality of life in the elderly.

Abstract

Street children constitute a highly vulnerable population who spend most of their time in public spaces working in the informal sector and are at increased risk of engaging in deviant behaviours. Social support and resilience are recognised as key protective factors that may enable street children to adapt to adversity. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional correlational design to examine the association between social support and resilience among street children in Semarang City, Indonesia. A total of 42 street children were recruited using accidental sampling. Data were collected using modified Likert-type questionnaires measuring social support (social embeddedness, enacted support, and perceived support) and resilience (emotion regulation, impulse control, causal analysis, self-efficacy, realistic optimism, empathy, and reaching out). Data were analysed using univariate statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation test. Most respondents reported moderate levels of social support (90.48%) and resilience (66.67%). Spearman’s test indicated a significant, positive, yet low correlation between social support and resilience (p = 0.014; r = 0.228). These findings suggest that higher social support is associated with greater resilience, although other internal and external factors are likely to contribute to resilience among street children.
