Abstract

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in children. It often causes motor impairments that reduce functional independence and participation, particularly in countries like Indonesia and low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this study was to assess motor function, quality of life, and prevalence of CP in a community-based population. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 80 children with CP from a community in Jakarta aged 5–18 years. They were selected through purposive sampling. All participants had a confirmed diagnosis of CP and consent from their parents or guardians. Children with other physical disabilities or who were unable to communicate were excluded. The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was used to assess motor function, and the Cerebral Palsy Module of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 was used to measure quality of life. Results: A total of 83.8% of participants were adolescents aged 13–18 years with spastic CP. With 46.3% at GMFCS level IV and 28.7% at level V, severe motor impairments were common, but 61.3% of children reported a good quality of life. Motor function and quality of life were positively and significantly correlated (r = 0.345, p = 0.002). Conclusion: The motor function of children with CP is strongly associated with their quality of life. This suggests that comprehensive and ongoing rehabilitation is necessary to improve functional participation and overall well-being.

Abstract

Mahasiswa merupakan kelompok yang rentan mengalami penurunan fungsi kognitif akibat tuntutan akademik dan stres psikososial, yang dapat tercermin dalam meningkatnya cognitive failure seperti kesalahan perhatian, memori, dan kontrol perilaku. Kebiasaan aktivitas fisik ringan seperti stretching serta teknik relaksasi sederhana diduga berperan dalam menjaga fungsi kognitif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kebiasaan stretching dan teknik relaksasi dengan tingkat cognitive failure pada mahasiswa. Penelitian menggunakan desain kuantitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional pada 100 mahasiswa Fakultas Ilmu Kesehatan UPN “Veteran” Jakarta. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ) dan Stretching and Relaxation Questionnaire (SRQ), kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki tingkat cognitive failure sedang (59,4%). Terdapat hubungan negatif signifikan antara frekuensi stretching dengan skor cognitive failure (r = -0,378; p = 0,001), serta hubungan negatif antara frekuensi relaksasi dengan skor cognitive failure. Selain itu, terdapat hubungan positif antara hambatan melakukan stretching dengan skor cognitive failure (r = 0,295; p = 0,003). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin rutin mahasiswa melakukan stretching dan relaksasi, semakin rendah tingkat cognitive failure yang dialami, sehingga kedua kebiasaan ini berpotensi menjadi bagian dari strategi promotif dalam menjaga fungsi kognitif mahasiswa.
