Abstract

Low back pain, also known as low back pain, is a common condition characterized by pain or discomfort in the lower back area, which is between the lower ribs and the buttock folds. This condition can be mild to severe, and can be temporary or chronic. One of the nonpharmacological methods that is often used to reduce the intensity of pain is ice packs. Ice packs are able to provide an analgesic effect by lowering local blood flow and reducing inflammation in the area experiencing pain. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ice packs in reducing low back pain in office administration employees. The research design uses an experimental method with a one group pre-test–post-test design approach. The research sample consisted of 25 respondents who were administrative employees at the Helvetia Health Institute. Pain intensity measurements were taken before and after the administration of ice packs to determine the effect of this therapy on low back pain. The results showed a decrease in the intensity of low back pain with an average value before treatment of 51.63 and after treatment decreasing to 38.8. Statistical analysis yielded a significance value (p) of 0.004 < 0.05, which showed that ice packs had a significant effect on reducing low back pain in administrative employees. Regular application of ice packs can be a simple, safe, and effective intervention that can be done independently at home by employees to reduce pain. This study provides recommendations for health workers to promote ice pack therapy as a non-pharmacological pain relief method, especially for office workers who often experience low back pain due to static work positions.

Abstract

Motor development in infants is a crucial process that occurs gradually and follows the principles of age-appropriate development. Each fundamental motor stage—such as tummy time, rolling over, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking—must be passed through sequentially to ensure optimal motor concept development. Skipping or insufficient stimulation of these stages may lead to difficulties in understanding functional body movements. One of the main causes of delayed motor development includes a lack of motor stimulation time, overly restrictive parental supervision, and low levels of motivation and stimulation provided to the child. Tummy time, or placing the baby in a prone position while awake, is a proven effective form of motor stimulation that supports the development of the baby’s neck, back, and arm muscles. This activity also assists infants in reaching subsequent developmental milestones such as rolling over and crawling. This Community Service Program (PkM) was conducted at the Physioroom Clinic and was attended by 15 mothers with infants aged 3 to 6 months. The objective of the program was to enhance mothers’ knowledge regarding the importance of tummy time in supporting infant motor development. The program's implementation included educational sessions, tummy time practice demonstrations, group discussions, and interactive Q&A sessions. To measure the increase in participant knowledge, a pre-test and post-test were administered before and after the activity.The results of this PkM activity showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 6.4 in the pre-test to 8.6 in the post-test. This improvement demonstrates the program’s effectiveness in educating mothers about the benefits of tummy time for infant motor development. It is hoped that the mothers will consistently apply this stimulation at home to optimally support their children's growth and development.

Abstract

Myogenic low back pain is a complaint of pain in the lower back area caused by disorders of muscle tissue or tendons, without nerve involvement. This complaint is often experienced by individuals who perform repetitive physical activities or maintain a hunched sitting position for long periods, resulting in muscle fatigue and discomfort. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of McKenzie Exercise and infrared therapy in reducing myogenic low back pain. The study design used a one-group pre- and post-test with control design, with a total of 20 employees in the rehabilitation unit of RSU Medika Tanjung Mulia who had met the inclusion criteria. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups: Group I received McKenzie Exercise and infrared therapy interventions along with standard hospital therapy, while Group II only received standard hospital therapy. Pain levels were measured using a Numeric Rating Scale before and after the intervention. The results of statistical analysis showed a significant reduction in pain in both groups after the intervention, with a p value = 0.000 (p < 0.05). In addition, the results of the comparison between groups showed that the group receiving McKenzie Exercise and infrared therapy experienced a greater reduction in pain than the control group. This suggests that the combination of McKenzie Exercise and infrared therapy is more effective in reducing myogenic low back pain. This study recommends the use of both interventions as part of the physiotherapy management of low back pain caused by muscle disorders.

Abstract

Code-switching, a phenomenon in which speakers alternate between two or more languages within a conversation, has garnered attention in the field of linguistics, particularly in the context of language acquisition. In the English language context, code-switching practices are becoming increasingly common, especially in multilingual communities worldwide. This study aims to investigate the impact of code-switching on the acquisition of English language, focusing on a sociolinguistic perspective. The sociolinguistic approach allows for a better understanding of the social and cultural contexts in which code-switching occurs, as well as its effects on language learning. This research utilizes a qualitative approach by analyzing data from interviews and observations within multilingual communities. Findings indicate that code-switching can influence various aspects of language acquisition, including vocabulary mastery, sentence structure, and pragmatic understanding. Additionally, code-switching practices can enrich language learning experiences by introducing speakers to language variations and different social contexts. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for language education practitioners and learners to comprehend the phenomenon of code-switching in the context of English language acquisition.

Abstract

Effective communication between nurses and patients is crucial in nursing practice, as it can impact patient outcomes and satisfaction. This study explores the role of body language and eye contact in enhancing communication between nurses and patients. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 30 nurses from various hospitals in Indonesia. The results indicate that appropriate body language, such as open posture and gentle hand gestures, can increase patient comfort and trust. Additionally, consistent and empathetic eye contact is essential in building stronger and deeper nurse-patient relationships. The findings also show that training and awareness of body language and eye contact can enhance nurses' communication skills. This study recommends that nursing training programs include modules on non-verbal communication to improve the effectiveness of nurse-patient interactions. Consequently, nurses can provide more holistic and patient-centered care, ultimately improving the overall quality of healthcare services.
