Abstract

Introduction: Pain is a stressor of hospitalization that, if not managed properly, can have physical and psychological impacts on children. One intervention that can be provided to reduce pain in preschool-aged children is play therapy. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of play therapy using medical materials on the pain levels of hospitalized preschool-aged children. Method: This study uses a pre-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. The number of respondents in this study was 25 preschool-aged children who were treated in the Dahlia Pediatric Ward at TK. II R. W. Mongisidi hospital Manado, selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Pain measurement was carried out using the Wong Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale. Data analysis was performed using the Nonparametric Wilcoxon test. Results: The Wilcoxon statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant difference in pain levels before and after the play therapy intervention using medical equipment. Conclusion: Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that there is an effect of play therapy using medical materials on the pain levels of hospitalized preschool-aged children. Future researchers interested in this study are encouraged to use a quasi-experimental method with a two-group pretest-posttest design.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to examine the relationship between family support and the quality of life of children with cancer. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were children diagnosed with cancer who were getting treatment at the hospital, as well as their parents who cared for them. The sampling technique was consecutive sampling with a total sample of 51 children and 51 parents. Data was collected through a questionnaire consisting of two parts, namely the child's quality of life scale using PedsQLTM 4.0 and PedsQLTM 3.0 Cancer Module and family support using the family support questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation test. Results: The study showed that there was a relationship between family support and the quality of life of children with cancer using both the general child quality of life scale (p = 0.001) and with the quality-of-life scale specifically for children with cancer (p < 0.001). Children who received greater family support tended to have a better quality of life compared to children with lower family support. Conclusion: Families play an important role in improving the quality of life of children with cancer. It is important to involve families in the child's care process and to provide education on the importance of family support. Future research should explore other associated factors and family interventions to improve the quality of life of children with cancer.

Abstract

Introduction: Cancer in children is a major global health issue, with over 400,000 new cases annually. Pediatric cancer treatment often results in fatigue and psychological stress, which may influence hemodynamic status such as pulse, blood pressure, respiration, and oxygen saturation. Music and art therapy have emerged as supportive nursing interventions that may help stabilize these indicators. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combined music and art therapy on the hemodynamic status of pediatric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Method: This study used a descriptive case study design involving three pediatric cancer patients with varying diagnoses: Hodgkin’s lymphoma, rectal adenocarcinoma, and ovarian clear cell carcinoma. The intervention consisted of simultaneous music and art therapy sessions administered for 15–20 minutes daily over three consecutive days. Hemodynamic indicators, including pulse rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, and oxygen saturation, were monitored before and after each session. Result: All three respondents showed a consistent decrease in pulse rate over the three days of therapy, indicating reduced physiological stress. However, changes in other hemodynamic indicators, such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, andoxygen saturation, were inconsistent across the participants. Despite variability in clinical outcomes, verbal and observational feedback indicated positive emotional responses and improved engagement during therapy. Conclusion: Music and art therapy interventions positively influenced the pulse rate of pediatric cancer patients, suggesting an impact on autonomic nervous system regulation. Although other hemodynamic parameters showed inconsistent changes, the interventions contributed to psychological comfort and may enhance the overall well-being of pediatric oncology patients. Further research with larger samples and extended intervention durations is recommended to confirm clinical significance.

Abstract

Background: The rapid development of digital technology has led to increased screen time among children, raising concerns about its potential impact on emotional and behavioral development. Excessive screen exposure is suspected to contribute to psychosocial issues in school-aged children. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between screen time and emotional and behavioral problems in school-age children. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed. A total of 92 parents of students at a private elementary school in Tahuna, North Sulawesi, were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a validated screen time questionnaire and the Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17 (PSC-17). Statistical analysis was performed to assess the relationship between screen time and emotional and behavioral problems. Result: Findings showed that 83.7% of children had screen time exceeding WHO recommendations, and 84.8% exhibited signs of emotional and behavioral problems. A statistically significant relationship was found between excessive screen time and emotional and behavioral issues (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Excessive screen time is significantly associated with an increase in emotional and behavioral problems among school-aged children. Interventions aimed at monitoring and reducing screen exposure are strongly recommended to support children's psychosocial well-being.

Abstract

According to Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 66 of 2014, kindergarten teachers have a role in monitoring and detecting growth and developmental issues in children. However, an interview with the principal of Pembina State Kindergarten in Manado revealed that teachers at Pembina State Kindergarten have never conducted early detection of growth and developmental issues in all students. This results in the growth and developmental status of all students at Pembina State Kindergarten in Manado being unknown. The Community Health Center (Puskesmas) has also never visited the school to screen for growth and developmental issues in children. Another identified issue is that the School Health Unit is not equipped with height and weight measuring devices or SDIDTK Kits for screening. Therefore, this program aims to improve the skills of kindergarten teachers in early detection of growth and developmental issues in preschool-aged children through training, mentoring, and the provision of SDIDTK Kits. The training results showed that the majority of teachers experienced an increase in knowledge of more than 80%. Based on pre-test and post-test results, teachers' knowledge scores showed a significant increase. Observation results also showed an improvement in teachers' skills in early detection of growth and developmental issues. In conclusion, there has been a significant improvement in teachers' knowledge and skills in early detection of growth and developmental issues in preschool-aged children.

Abstract

Bullying is the act of harming others both physically and psychologically in the form of verbal, social, and physical violence. Bullying among adolescents can lead to serious health issues, both physical and mental. To this day, cases of bullying among teenagers remain very high and even show an increase each year. This poses a serious problem that must be addressed immediately. The implementation method for this activity involved training for adolescents conducted in two different schools in Manado, carried out in person. Before and after the activity, team conducted pre-test and post-test measurements to assess students' knowledge during the training. Based on the results of the pre-test and post-test, the knowledge assessment in the two middle schools showed an increase based on the average scores of the participants. Therefore, we concluded that there was an increase in participants' knowledge about bullying and its health impacts after the training was conducted for the students.
