Abstract

The elderly people face a decline in all physical functions as they age, as well as an increased risk of disease and other health issues such as short-term memory loss. Brain gym, a collection of simple movements that aims to unite the mind and body, is one of the sports aiming at maintaining and improving the quality of life. The purpose of this PkM activity was to socialize the brain gym and improve the elderly's short-term memory. The methods of implementing this activity were as follows: first, a situation analysis on activity partners was performed; second, a pretest was performed by measuring short-term memory using the HVLT instrument; third, the brain gym was implemented twice a week for three weeks; and fourth, at the end of the activity, a post-test and activity evaluation were performed. This activity was attended by 25 elderly people, and the results showed a 56.50 percent increase in pre-test and post-test scores. Because the data was not normally distributed, the Wilcoxon test was performed with the results indicating that the number the number 0.001 <0.05. It can be concluded that Brain Gym has a significant effect on the elderly's short-term memory. This increase in short-term memory occurred because brain gym movements increase blood circulation to the brain and stimulate the hemispheres to activate, thereby increasing thinking ability. The conclusion of this activity is that doing brain gym twice a week for three weeks can improve short-term memory, so it is suggested that the elderly do brain gym to maintain and improve their short-term memory

Abstract

As the largest professional health workforce in Indonesia, nurses face high demands and responsibilities in hospitals, making them vulnerable to burnout syndrome. Resilience and self-efficacy are considered important factors that may mitigate this risk. This study aimed to analyze the relationship of resilience, self-efficacy, and burnout syndrome among nurses. This study used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 140 inpatient nurses, from which a sample of 100 respondents was selected using stratified random sampling with a 5% significance level. The majority of nurses had high levels of resilience (58%) and self-efficacy (55%). However, a high level of burnout syndrome was also found in 55% of the nurses. The Spearman Rank correlation test revealed no significant relationship between resilience and burnout syndrome (p=0.968), nor between self-efficacy and burnout syndrome (p=0.921). No relationship was found between resilience, self-efficacy, and burnout syndrome in the nurse population of this study. Further research is recommended to explore other contributing factors or to investigate this phenomenon in different contexts, such as among nurses in the education sector.

Abstract

Nursing students often encounter difficulties in mastering Basic Nursing Science (BNS) vocabulary, which is fundamental for advancing in their studies. Classroom learning media also remain limited. This study examined the effectiveness of BNS vocabulary learning through Powtoon animation media. A quantitative quasi-experimental pre–post test design with a control group. A total of 70 first-year nursing students were purposively assigned to an experimental group (n = 35) and a control group (n = 35). A 35-item multiple-choice test, validated (r = 0.322–0.768) and proven reliable (α = 0.923), served as the assessment instrument. The experimental group received vocabulary instruction through Powtoon animation, while the control group used handouts. Findings revealed that the experimental group achieved a greater mean score improvement (33.00%) than the control group (18.87%), accompanied by a notable decrease in standard deviation (17.65 to 8.03), indicating more uniform learning. The Mann–Whitney test yielded a p-value of 0.02 < 0.05, confirming the superior effectiveness of Powtoon. Vocabulary with a narrower conceptual scope, particularly “body cavities,” showed the highest gains. Overall, powtoon enhanced learning outcomes and reduced disparities, highlighting the value of integrating interactive audio-visual media in BNS vocabulary instruction to faster more equitable conceptual understanding
