Abstract

Low back pain is one of the musculoskeletal disorders due to poor activities that cause pain that is often suffered by the elderly. Back pain is a structure originating from the spine, namely in the spinal area (lower back), muscles, nerves or others around the area. Usually accompanied by radiating from the feet and legs. One of the efforts to reduce the intensity is by doing a back massage. Massage stimulation can release the body to release endorphins which are natural pain relievers and generate nerve fibers that close the synaptic gate so that impulses to the spinal cord and brain are inhibited. this study was to determine the effectiveness of back massage therapy on reducing the intensity of low back pain in the elderly. used in this final report is a literature review by reviewing 2 international articles and 8 national articles, the data collection process uses the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items For Systematic Review and Meta Analysis) method and performs data analysis using Thematic Analysis with doing the stages of comparing, contrasting, and criticizing, got the results that, 10 journal articles that the author took for literature review research. back massage therapy can reduce back pain in the elderly. The results of the review showed that 10 articles demonstrated a reduction in back intensity. Lower back pain has decreased due to touch as a stimulus to relax, then a relaxation response will appear in the back area so that you can rest in peace and the level of pain felt has decreased.

Abstract

Early experiential exposure is increasingly advocated to enhance psychiatric clinical readiness; however, empirical evidence regarding real-world social rehabilitation settings remains limited, particularly within low- and middle-income countries where clinical placements are often delayed. This study examined nursing students’ learning experiences and perceived clinical readiness following early exposure to individuals with mental disorders in a community rehabilitation setting. A qualitative descriptive design utilizing reflexive thematic analysis was conducted with 35 third-semester Diploma nursing students in East Java, Indonesia. Purposive sampling achieved thematic saturation at 28 interviews. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis, adhering strictly to COREQ reporting standards to ensure methodological transparency. Findings delineated a developmental trajectory from initial stigma and anxiety toward empathy, therapeutic confidence, and clinical preparedness. Four interconnected themes emerged: (1) attitudinal reconstruction regarding mental illness, (2) emerging relational agency in therapeutic communication, (3) cognitive-affective integration of theoretical constructs, and (4) transitional clinical readiness. Supervised face-to-face engagement within a supportive rehabilitation environment, facilitated stigma deconstruction, and cultivated adaptive interpersonal competencies. It contextualized abstract classroom knowledge through authentic patient interaction, thereby bridging the theory-practice divide. Early structured exposure transcends passive observation, functioning as a transformative pedagogical mechanism that synchronizes affective, cognitive, and relational development. Systematically embedding community-based experiential learning prior to acute psychiatric placements is critical to optimizing global clinical readiness, mitigating entrenched stigma, and advancing recovery-oriented nursing curricula worldwide, particularly in resource-constrained educational systems
