Abstract

Background: Asthenopia or eye fatigue is a condition characterized by discomfort in the eyes, such as burning, tension, blurred vision, and difficulty maintaining visual focus. This condition often occurs due to the use of digital devices (gadgets) for a long time without sufficient rest. This study aims to: determine the relationship between the duration of gadget use and symptoms of asthenopia in students at SMK Kesehatan X, South Tangerang City. This study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive correlational design through a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique uses stratified random sampling with a total of 74 students as respondents. The research instrument used is a questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using the chi-square test. Research results Most respondents have a long gadget usage duration (81.1%) and 59.5% experience asthenopia. The Chi-Square test shows a p value = 0.004 (p <0.05) and OR = 7.912, so there is a significant relationship between the duration of gadget use and symptoms of asthenopia. Conclusion There is a significant relationship between the duration of gadget use and symptoms of asthenopia in students. The longer a person uses a gadget, the higher the risk of developing asthenopia.

Abstract

Fine motor skills are essential in early childhood development, supporting daily activities and school readiness. Brain gymnastics is a series of structured and simple movements involving coordination between the brain and body, designed to stimulate the nervous system and enhance motor development in a playful way. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 33 children aged 4–6 years were selected using purposive sampling. The Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) was used as the main instrument, completed through parent interviews and direct observation by the researcher before and after the brain gymnastics intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Before the intervention, 21 children (63.3%) showed delayed fine motor development. After the intervention, 30 children (90.9%) reached the normal developmental stage appropriate for their age. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed a significant difference with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant improvement in fine motor skills. The results demonstrate that brain gymnastics effectively improves fine motor skills in children aged 4–6 years. Through engaging and coordinated movements, brain gymnastics stimulates neural pathways and supports optimal motor development. It can be applied as a fun and practical method of stimulation in early childhood education settings.
