Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve older adults’ and caregivers’ initial knowledge and practical skills through a community-based Resilient Elderly Movement in Pelamunan Village, Kramatwatu, Serang, Banten. The activity involved 50 participants, consisting of 30 older adults, 12  family caregivers, and 8 community cadres. The program used a participatory method through needs assessment, health education, elderly exercise, simple nutrition education, deep breathing relaxation, caregiver emergency response simulation, and reflective discussion. Evaluation used a 10-item knowledge questionnaire, practice observation sheets, and structured discussion notes. The observed results showed that participants could explain key messages on healthy activity, mental health self-care, warning signs in older adults, and initial household emergency response. Caregivers were also able to practice safer response steps during simulation. The program offers an initial community model that requires cadre follow-up and primary care collaboration for longer-term impact.

Abstract

Children who will undergo preoperative procedures often experience significant anxiety due to uncertainty, fear of pain, and an unfamiliar hospital environment. High anxiety during the preoperative phase can affect physiological stability, complicate anesthesia, and slow postoperative recovery. Therefore, effective and easy-to-implement nonpharmacological interventions are needed to support children before surgery. This study aimed to determine the effect of play therapy on preoperative anxiety levels in children at Semen Padang Hospital.The study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 15 children aged 4–10 years scheduled for elective surgery. The intervention consisted of 20–30 minutes of play therapy using medical role-play and simple props. Anxiety levels were measured using the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS) before and after therapy. Data were analyzed with a paired t-test at a significance level p value ≤0.05. The results showed a significant decrease in anxiety after the intervention. The mean anxiety score dropped from 52.4 ± 8.7 before therapy to 32.1 ± 7.9 afterward. The paired t-test obtained a result of p = 0.001, showing a significant effect of play therapy . It shows that play therapy has a significant impact on reducing anxiety. Additionally, 80% of participants experienced a shift from moderate to low anxiety. These findings imply that nurses should integrate play therapy into standard preoperative preparation, while hospitals provide adequate facilities to ensure consistent implementation. Play therapy proves effective in reducing preoperative anxiety and can serve as an important strategy to minimize psychological stress in children before surgery.
