Abstract

Introduction: University students, particularly those in health-related programs, are often subjected to various academic demands that must be completed within strict timeframes. These demands, coupled with a lack of preparedness to cope, can lead to psychological issues such as stress. Globally, stress affects more than 350 million people and ranks as the fourth most common health problem. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between spirituality levels and stress among freshmen in the Health Sciences Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur. Methods: This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 271 respondents were selected using random sampling. The instruments used were the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) to measure spirituality and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) to measure stress levels. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. Results: The majority of respondents had a high level of spirituality (160 respondents or 59%), while most respondents also reported normal levels of stress (159 respondents or 58.7%). Statistical analysis revealed a negative correlation between spirituality and stress levels, with a correlation coefficient of -0.417 and a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant inverse relationship. Conclusion: The findings indicate that higher levels of spirituality are associated with lower levels of stress among new health students. This suggests that spirituality may serve as a protective factor and should be considered in holistic student support and stress management programs in higher education settings.

Abstract

Female Genital Cutting and Mutilation (FGCM) or female circumcision is an old practice that is still widely practiced in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. The implementation of female circumcision is linked to religious and cultural values, so it gives the impression of being a medicalization that parents must carry out for their daughters because they are worried that they will be ostracized or deemed not to comply with religious law. The aim of this community service is socialization to jointly stop the behavior of circumcising girls in the neighborhood where Darma Wanita lives. Community service utilizes counseling at the Dharma Wanita UPT Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The results of this activity increased the knowledge of mothers of Dharma Wanita members regarding the prohibition of female circumcision both from a health and religious perspective, as well as understanding the side effects of female circumcision for children who experience it. Apart from that, there was a commitment raised by the majority of participants in outreach activities not to allow their children, grandchildren, or relatives to undergo female circumcision.

Abstract

Auditory hallucinations are one of the most common and disruptive symptoms experienced by individuals with schizophrenia, often impairing concentration, emotional regulation, and daily functioning. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as cognitive distraction techniques, are increasingly needed to complement medication in managing these symptoms. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of crossword puzzle distraction therapy in improving the ability of patients to control auditory hallucinations. A case study design was used involving one patient diagnosed with schizophrenia who received crossword puzzle therapy for three consecutive days. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and the Auditory Hallucination Rating Scale (AHRS), and analyzed descriptively to assess changes before and after the intervention. The patient showed a marked reduction in hallucination intensity, improved focus, and increased ability to redirect attention away from hallucinatory voices. AHRS scores decreased significantly from severe to mild levels, accompanied by behavioral improvements such as calmness, cooperation, and self-control. These findings suggest that crossword puzzle distraction therapy can serve as a practical and effective non-pharmacological strategy in psychiatric nursing care. The study recommends the integration of cognitive activity-based distraction techniques into routine nursing interventions for patients experiencing auditory hallucinations.

The results demonstrated a significant decrease in AHRS scores from 24 (severe hallucinations) to 5 (mild hallucinations) after six sessions of Relating Therapy, along with improved self-control, reduced psychological distress, and more assertive responses toward hallucinatory voices. This study concludes that Relating Therapy is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention in reducing auditory hallucination symptoms and is recommended for integration into clinical psychiatric nursing practice, with a suggestion for its continued application to enhance patient outcomes.

Abstract

Auditory hallucinations are a major symptom experienced by patients with schizophrenia and can disrupt cognitive, emotional, and social functioning, thus requiring comprehensive therapeutic management. This study is necessary because pharmacological therapy alone is not sufficient to optimize patients’ ability to control hallucinations, making meaningful non-pharmacological interventions essential. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of ecoprint occupational therapy in reducing signs and symptoms of auditory hallucinations in Mr. I. The research employed a case study design involving one patient, with data collected using the Auditory Hallucination Rating Scale (AHRS), conducted over two consecutive days. The ecoprint intervention was implemented for approximately 60 minutes per session and analyzed descriptively. The results demonstrated a reduction in AHRS scores from 23 to 21 on the first day and from 17 to 11 on the second day, with improvements observed in frequency, intensity, negative voice content, disturbance to activities, and control over hallucinations. The patient also showed increased focus and engagement during the activity. In conclusion, ecoprint occupational therapy is effective as a supportive intervention for helping patients control auditory hallucinations. It is recommended for continued implementation with expanded duration and activity variations to enhance therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract

Mental disorders, especially schizophrenia, are still a mental health problem with a high prevalence in Indonesia, including in East Kalimantan, with one of the main symptoms being sensory perception disorders of auditory hallucinations that can interfere with psychosocial functions and the patient's ability to control themselves. This scientific paper aims to analyze the effectiveness of an innovative intervention in the form of free painting therapy with totebag media as a non-pharmacological approach in reducing the signs and symptoms of auditory hallucinations. The method used is an analysis of nursing clinical practice through a nursing process approach, with measurement of the level of auditory hallucinations using the Auditory Hallucination Rating Scale (AHRS) 11-item questionnaire which was carried out three times during three free painting therapy interventions. The evaluation results showed a significant decrease in the auditory hallucination score, from an initial score of 33 before the intervention to 7 after the entire series of interventions were given, which was characterized by a reduction in the frequency, duration, and intensity of hallucinations and an increase in the patient's ability to control and divert attention from hallucinations. Free-form painting therapy using tote bags is effective as a non-pharmacological nursing intervention in reducing the intensity of auditory hallucinations and can be used as an alternative activity therapy in psychiatric nursing practice.
