Abstract

Anxiety is a mental health problem that is often experienced by teenagers, including juvenile inmates. Supportive therapy is one intervention that can be used to reduce anxiety in adolescents. This study aims to determine the effect of supportive therapy on reducing anxiety in juvenile inmates at the Class IIb Correctional Institution, Purwakarta Regency, Indonesia. This research uses a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 30 juvenile inmates who were divided into two groups, namely the intervention group (15 people) and the control group (15 people). The intervention group was given supportive therapy for 4 weeks, while the control group was given no intervention. The results of the study showed that there was a significant reduction in anxiety in the intervention group after being given supportive therapy. The average level of anxiety in the intervention group before the intervention was 2.67 (SD=0.488), while after the intervention, it was 1.53 (SD=0.516). This difference is statistically significant (p<0.001). Based on the results of this research, it can be concluded that supportive therapy can reduce anxiety in juvenile inmates. Supportive therapy can help juvenile inmates understand and address the causes of their anxiety, as well as increase their ability to use adaptive coping resources.

Abstract

Anxiety disorders among adolescents have become a significant public health concern, particularly in rural communities where access to mental health services is limited. Supportive therapy represents a viable intervention approach that can be implemented in community settings. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of supportive therapy in reducing anxiety levels among adolescents in Sukamaju Village, Purwakarta. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 60 adolescents aged 12-18 years experiencing anxiety symptoms. Participants were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received 8 sessions of supportive therapy over 4 weeks, while the control group received standard care. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) before and after intervention. The intervention group showed significant reduction in anxiety scores (pre-test: 18.5±3.2, post-test: 12.3±2.8, p<0.001) compared to the control group (pre-test: 18.1±3.5, post-test: 17.2±3.1, p>0.05). The effect size was large (Cohen's d = 2.1), indicating clinically significant improvement. Supportive therapy demonstrated significant effectiveness in reducing anxiety among adolescents in rural community settings, suggesting its potential as a feasible mental health intervention for underserved populations.

Abstract

Back pain is a common problem experienced by pregnant women, particularly during the third trimester, due to natural bodily changes, weight gain, changes in balance, and stretching of muscles and ligaments. Endorphin massage is a non-pharmacological method that may help reduce this pain. This study aimed to determine the effect of endorphin massage on reducing back pain intensity among third-trimester pregnant women at TPMB Luli Bahari, Purwakarta, in 2026. A quantitative method with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used. The study was conducted from January 15 to February 17, 2026, involving 30 third-trimester pregnant women. Back pain intensity was measured before and after endorphin massage. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test applied because the data were not normally distributed. Before the intervention, most respondents experienced moderate pain (22 respondents; 73.3%), while 5 respondents (16.7%) experienced mild pain and 3 respondents (10.0%) experienced severe pain. After the intervention, 25 pregnant women (83.3%) experienced mild pain, while 5 (16.7%) reported no pain. The Wilcoxon test produced a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of endorphin massage on reducing back pain intensity in third-trimester pregnant women. Endorphin massage can therefore be considered a non-pharmacological approach to help alleviate back pain during pregnancy.

Abstract

Sleep quality is an important factor that affects infant growth and development. Sleep disturbances are common among infants and may negatively affect physical growth and neurological development. Baby massage and baby gym are non-pharmacological stimulation methods believed to improve infant sleep quality; however, evidence comparing their effectiveness remains limited. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of baby massage and baby gym in improving the sleep quality of infants aged 3–6 months at Ravina Medika Clinic in 2026. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest–posttest two-group design was employed.The study was conducted at Ravina Medika Clinic, Purwakarta, from January to February 2026. A total of 40 infants aged 3–6 months were selected using purposive sampling and divided into two groups: the baby massage group (n=20) and the baby gym group (n=20). Sleep quality was assessed using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, namely the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Mann–Whitney U Test, with a significance level of α=0.05.Before the intervention, the majority of infants had poor sleep quality, accounting for 70.0% in the baby massage group and 50.0% in the baby gym group. After the intervention, sleep quality improved in both groups. The Wilcoxon test showed that both baby massage and baby gym significantly improved infant sleep quality (p<0.05). The Mann–Whitney test demonstrated a significant difference between the two groups (p=0.000; p<0.05). The baby massage group had a higher mean rank than the baby gym group; therefore, baby massage was considered more effective in improving the sleep quality of infants aged 3–6 months.
