Abstract

Introduction: Depression is a prevalent psychological issue among the elderly, often exacerbated by isolation and various physical and mental health challenges. As a non-pharmacological intervention, music therapy has shown potential in alleviating depressive symptoms. This study examines the effectiveness of listening to nostalgic songs in reducing depression among elderly residents. Methods: This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 28 elderly participants who met the inclusion criteria were selected from a population of 43 individuals. The participants underwent a 20-minute intervention of listening to nostalgic songs, conducted six times over two weeks. Depression levels were measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15) before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test in SPSS version 25 to determine the significance of the intervention's effects. Results: The analysis revealed a significant reduction in depression levels after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest depression scores. This finding suggests that nostalgic music therapy effectively reduces depressive symptoms among elderly participants. Conclusions: The results support the hypothesis that listening to nostalgic songs can serve as an effective intervention for reducing depression in the elderly. Nostalgic music therapy can be considered a beneficial non-pharmacological approach to enhancing the psychological well-being of elderly individuals. Future studies with control groups and larger sample sizes are recommended to validate these findings further

Abstract

Nosocomial infections significantly affect the patient's health and can increase morbidity and mortality. The incidence of nosocomial diseases is still widely found, and nurse compliance in preventing and controlling infections is a significant factor in preventing nosocomial infections. The study aims to analyze the determinants of nurses on the incidence of nosocomial diseases. The study used qualitative methods with total sampling techniques. The results of statistical tests were obtained on the variables sex value p = 0.256, age value p = 1.000, nutritional status p = 0.710, and invasive action p = 1.000. It can be concluded that there is no influence of intrinsic factors (age, sex, and nutritional status) on nosocomial infections, and extrinsic factors that significantly affect the occurrence of nosocomial diseases are antibiotics. While what has no effect is the use of invasive measures. This needs serious attention from nurses because prevention of nosocomial infections will be beneficial in reducing the morbidity rate that occurs in hospitals. Prevention of nosocomial diseases in hospitals can be done by minimizing the administration of invasive measures, especially in patients, increasing special attention to patients who receive invasive procedures, and increasing personal hygiene efforts

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a serious public health problem, especially in developing countries, and can long-term impact children's physical and cognitive development. The nutritional status of pregnant women plays an important role in the growth and development of the fetus, which can affect the risk of stunting in children after birth. This study aims to analyze the influence of the nutritional status of pregnant women on the incidence of stunting in early childhood. Research Methodology: This study uses a cohort study design involving pregnant women and their children under five years old. Data were collected through interviews, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory analysis to assess the mother's nutritional status, including macro and micronutrient intake. Result: The analysis showed a significant relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women and the incidence of stunting in children. Pregnant women with good nutritional status have a lower risk of giving birth to stunted children compared to pregnant women who are malnourished. In addition, factors such as maternal education, economic status, and access to health services also contribute to the incidence of stunting. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of adequate nutrition during pregnancy to prevent stunting in early childhood. Appropriate nutritional interventions and increased awareness of the importance of nutrition during pregnancy are urgently needed to improve maternal and child health. Recommendations for public health programs and nutrition policies were also discussed to address the stunting problem.
