The sample consisted of 60 respondents divided into a control group of 30 respondents and an intervention group of 30 respondents. Using the Zung Self-Anxiety Rating Scale for the instrument. The intervention group received a butterfly hug for 6 days in 8 sessions every day, and the control group received music therapy for 6 days. Bivariate analysis used the parametric test paired sample t-test to see the difference between the prepost-test intervention group and to see the difference between the prepost-test control group on the anxiety level using the nonparametric Wilcoxon test. Analysis of bivariate test to see the difference between groups using the independent sample t-test. Result: The results of the Wilcoxon test of the anxiety level control group p=0,274 (p=>0,05), meanwhile the results of the intervention group of the paired sample t-test intervention group there was a significant effect (p=0,000). The results of the independent sample t-test between the control and intervention groups were p=0,001 (p=<0,05). Conclusions: Butterfly hug therapy is an effective therapy to reduce anxiety in LDR with parents in nursing students. This therapy is expected to be applied and used as an intervention to reduce anxiety.

Abstract

Background: The elderly experience changes in the musculoskeletal system in the form of joint disorders that attack the joints and supporting tissue structures around the joints causing pain, loss of physical function, and disability. This requires management to reduce joint pain and improve muscle movement, function, strength, and endurance using joint gymnastics/rheumatism. The purpose of this study was to improve the ability of physical functioning in the elderly. Methods: Quasi-experimental research with pre-post test design. The number of samples was 42 elderly people. This study measured the ability of physical function in the elderly. The research instrument used the KOOS (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed ranks test. Results: Research shows the majority of respondents are > 59 years old, and the majority are women (62.2%). There was an increase in knowledge with an increase in score of 2.19 and functional ability with an increase of 21.71 which was described in 4 sections, namely for pain score increased by 7.59, sign and symptom score increased by 7.09, ADL score increased by 2.76 and quality of life score increased by 4.26.  There was a significant effect (p = 0.000) of joint gymnastics training interventions on improving knowledge and functional abilities. Conclusion: There is an effect of joint gymnastics exercise interventions on improving knowledge and functional abilities.  Suggestion: the application of joint gymnastics exercises is needed as an additional intervention in the community and to improve functional ability in the elderly.
