Abstract

Introduction: Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty in initiating or maintaining sleep despite having the opportunity to rest. This condition can lead to disturbances in daytime activities, fatigue, and frequent awakenings during the night. Furthermore, insomnia can have negative effects on health, such as increasing the risk of heart disease, metabolic disorders, cognitive decline, and even mortality. Adolescents are among those at risk of experiencing insomnia, as individuals generally require about 8–10 hours of sleep each night. However, this duration is often reduced due to busy school schedules and social activities, which can trigger sleep disorders such as insomnia. One non-pharmacological approach to overcoming insomnia is foot hydrotherapy using pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of pandan leaf foot hydrotherapy on insomnia among adolescents. Methods: This research used a quantitative with a one-group pretest- posttest design. The population consisted of 93 adolescents experiencing insomnia at Jembrana, Indonesia. The sampling technique used in this study was convenience sampling. The instruments used included a demographic data sheet and the Jakarta Insomnia Rating Scale (KSPBJ-IRS) questionnaire. Results: The data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and the results showed a p-value of < 0.001 before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that foot hydrotherapy using pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius) has an effect on reducing insomnia in adolescents.

Abstract

Introduction: Primary dysmenorrhea is a common complaint among adolescent girls and can significantly interfere with daily activities and academic performance. One non-pharmacological intervention that may help alleviate dysmenorrhea pain is the use of a lumbar corset, which provides postural support and reduces muscle tension in the lower back region. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study population consisted of female students at SMP Negeri 2 Melaya who experienced primary dysmenorrhea. A total of 47 participants were selected using convenience sampling. The intervention involved wearing a lumbar corset for 2 hours per day during menstruation. Pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Prior to the intervention, most participants reported moderate to severe pain levels. Following the use of the lumbar corset, a significant reduction in pain intensity was observed. The Wilcoxon test showed a Z value of −6.283 with p < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference between pain scores before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The findings indicate that lumbar corset use is effective in reducing primary dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls. Further studies employing a control group and larger sample sizes are recommended to strengthen the evidence and generalizability of the results.

Abstract

Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep despite adequate opportunity to rest, which can lead to impaired daytime functioning, fatigue, frequent nocturnal awakenings, and long-term health risks such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, cognitive decline, and increased mortality risk. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to insomnia due to sleep needs of approximately 8–10 hours per night, which are often not fulfilled because of academic demands and social activities. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as foot hydrotherapy using pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius), are proposed as an alternative approach to improve sleep quality. This study aimed to determine the effect of foot hydrotherapy using pandan leaves on insomnia among adolescents at SMPN 1 Negara. The study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The population consisted of 93 adolescents experiencing insomnia, with samples selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Jakarta Insomnia Rating Scale (KSPBJ-IRS). Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores with a p-value < 0.001, indicating a reduction in insomnia levels after the intervention. In conclusion, foot hydrotherapy using pandan leaves has a significant effect in reducing insomnia among adolescents.
