Abstract

Psychological distress, particularly anxiety, is common among elderly individuals with hypertension and may negatively affect their quality of life and disease management. This study aimed to examine changes in anxiety levels following Mindfulness Butterfly Hug Therapy among hypertensive elderly individuals. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 97 elderly participants with hypertension from a community health center in Semarang, Indonesia. Participants received Mindfulness Butterfly Hug Therapy for 15 minutes over three consecutive days. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests. The results demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in anxiety scores, with mean HARS scores decreasing from 31.94 before the intervention to 16.53 after the intervention (mean difference = 15.41, p = 0.001). Most participants shifted from higher levels of anxiety to mild or no anxiety following the intervention. These findings suggest that Mindfulness Butterfly Hug Therapy may be associated with reduced anxiety levels among hypertensive elderly individuals and may serve as a practical non-pharmacological approach in community healthcare settings. However, due to the use of a one-group pretest-posttest design without a comparison group, causal conclusions cannot be drawn. Further controlled studies are warranted to confirm these findings and assess long-term outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Social interaction is an important indicator during the process of social isolation treatment. The less active social interaction could lead to other mental disorders such as hallucination, suicide risk, self-care deficit, and violence risk. The study investigated the effect of Islamic Spiritual Mindfulness on Discharged Patient Detection Information System (SI-DEPAPU) application to enhance the social interaction of schizophrenia patients with social isolation. Methods: The research design used was quasi-experimental with a pre-post test method. The study used purposive sampling with 40 respondents divided into two groups of 20 people each. The instruments used were the Social Interaction Questionnaire and Behavioral Observation Sheet, which have been tested for validity and reliability. The statistical tests used included the paired t-test to assess social interaction within the group, the independent t-test to compare before the intervention, and the Mann-Whitney test for after the intervention. Results: The research finding showed the difference in the social interaction of patients before and after the intervention between the intervention group and control group (p=<0.001; <0.05), of which the mean value of the intervention group (43.79) was more significant than the control group (15.21). Conclusion: Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there was an increase in social interaction in patients after receiving Islamic spiritual mindfulness therapy. The SI-DEPAPU application can be implemented as a mental health nursing intervention to improve the social interaction of patients with schizophrenia who suffer from social isolation.

Abstract

Childhood cancer requires long-term treatment that can trigger parental stress. The duration of the child’s cancer is assumed to be related to parents’ stress levels due to adaptation processes and prolonged psychological burden. This study aimed to analyze the association between cancer duration and parental stress. A cross-sectional design was conducted using data from a previous study at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang (August–December 2024). A total of 54 parents were recruited using consecutive sampling. Stress level was measured using the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10). Chi-Square was used for analysis. Results showed that most children had cancer <1 year (72.2%), and most parents experienced moderate stress (68.5%). There was a significant association between the duration of child’s cancer and parental stress with p.value 0.001 (p<0.05). It is concluded that higher stress occurs in parents during the early phase of diagnosis. Early psychosocial support is needed.

Abstract

Cancer is characterized by abnormal, uncontrolled cellular proliferation and its incidence in women continues to rise, including in Central Java, Indonesia. Women undergoing cancer treatment frequently experience psychological distress such as hopelessness, pessimism, and loss of motivation, which can influence their self-efficacy, coping mechanisms, and overall life quality. This study aimed to examine the correlations of self-efficacy and coping mechanisms with the life quality of women with cancer at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital, Semarang. A quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach was applied. The population comprised 1,820 women diagnosed with breast, ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer, from which 106 respondents were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease (SEMCD6) questionnaire, the Cancer Coping Questionnaire, and the EORTC QLQ-C30, then analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test. The results showed that most respondents had high self-efficacy (79.2%), adaptive coping mechanisms (93.4%), and good life quality (90.0%). Spearman's rank correlation revealed no significant correlation between self-efficacy and life quality (p = 0.138; r = 0.145) or between coping mechanisms and life quality (p = 0.402; r = 0.082), both showing a very weak positive correlation. These findings indicate that the life quality of women with cancer is shaped by multiple interacting factors beyond self-efficacy and coping mechanisms alone, such as family and spiritual support, physical symptoms, and cancer stage. Future researchers should explore additional determinants of life quality among women with cancer.
