<![CDATA[Background: Cancer therapy during the pandemic causes physical and psychological problems. It impacts happiness in their lives. Laughter yoga is an intervention that can increase happiness. The purpose of this study is to prove that laughter yoga can increase the achievement of individual and peer happiness in cancer patients undergoing therapy in a pandemic situation. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent control group design. The total sample was 40 cancer patients at the Indonesia Cancer Foundation East Java selected through the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the implementation, 20 people belong to the intervention group (IG) and 20 other people belong to the control group (CG). The IG provided laughter yoga 2x/a week for 4 weeks with 14 steps, while CG only through daily activities. Both groups conducted pre-test and post-tests using The Subjective Happiness Scale. The scale consists of two indicators: individual happiness and peers’ happiness. In addition, the calculation of the two indicators is done separately. The instrument has been tested for its validity and reliability. The data were normally distributed (Shapiro-Wilk test p > 0.05). Statistical test was conducted using paired t-test (p < 0.05) to test the pre-post data in both groups and independent sample t-test (p < 0.05) to test the effectiveness of the intervention compared to the control group.Results: Demographic data of respondents was homogenous. The mean score of individual and peer happiness before and after intervention in the IG increased. It means that respondents had better happiness. Meanwhile, in the CG there was a stagnation score of individual and peer happiness. Paired t-test in the IG showed that individual and peers’ happiness got the same p-value < 0.001 each. In the CG, individual happiness records p = 1.000 and peers’ happiness p = 0.083. Statistical tests conducted by Independent t-test to compare IG and CG had the p = 0.012 for individual happiness and p = < 0.001 for peers’ happiness.Conclusions: Laughter yoga has a significant effect to enhance individual and peer happiness compared to respondents who only carry out normal daily activities, especially for cancer patients undergoing therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic.]]>

<![CDATA[Cancer related Fatigue (CRF) is a symptom that occurs in almost all cancer patients. CRF causes various physical and psychological impacts that can hinder the patient's normal life. The aim of this study was to explain the multifactorial triggers of CRF in cancer patients. The research design used is a descriptive design. The population of all cancer patients at the Kedungdoro Public Health Center Surabaya, with a large sample of 28 people. Samples were taken by purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. The instrument uses a Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) which has been tested for validity and reliability. The triggering factor for CRF in this study with the highest CRF score for each factor was age in the elderly group (23.4 + 6.8), gender factor was found in women (18.96 + 6.73), the type of cancer was found in breast cancer (21.25 + 7.36), the cancer stage factor was in stage 3 cancer (24.11 + 8.29), the length of cancer was 4-6 years (21.62 + 6.04), and the cancer therapy factor was found in respondents who received chemotherapy + surgery therapy (24.11 + 8.29). All of the above factors trigger mild CRF with varying mean scores ranging from the lowest score of 16 to the highest score of 24.11. CRF does not appear only because of cancer, but there are other multifactorial factors that trigger CRF in cancer patients]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract: Disruption of sleep latency and duration of cancer patients occurs due to multifactorial causes, one of which is a side effect of cancer therapy. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of acupressure at the Shenmen HT7 point on sleep latency and duration of post-therapy cancer patients. The design uses a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design approach. The population is 50 cancer patients at the Pucang Sewu Health Center and the Rangkah Health Center, Surabaya. A sample of 25 respondents was taken by purposive sampling according to the researcher's criteria. The instrument used was the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. The results of the pre-test mean latency and sleep duration scores respectively were 1.96 + 0.61 and 1.08 + 0.86, while in the post-test conditions it was 1.12 + 0.72 and 0.56 + 0.71. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistical test found that the p-value on the latency and sleep duration variables was 0.000 and 0.001, respectively, which means that there was a significant effect of giving the HT7 Shenmen point acupressure on the latency and sleep duration of post-therapy cancer patients. HT7 Shenmen stimulates the release of endorphins which cause relaxation, a feeling of calm, comfort, thereby helping to improve sleep latency and duration.]]>

<![CDATA[Risiko mengalami kanker diduga akan meningkat seiring bertambahnya usia seseorang karena semakin menua usia menyebabkan proses kemunduran organ tubuh. Pendidikan seharusnya berdampak kepada tingginya tingkat pemahaman saat menerima informasi sehingga memengaruhi pola berpikir dalam mengambil keputusan yang berhubungan dengan kesehatan. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross sectional dengan populasi populasi semua pasien kanker di dua wilayah kerja Puskesmas di Surabaya. Sampel berjumlah 28 dengan teknik purposive sampling. Variabel dependen dalam ini adalah stadium kanker sedangkan variabel independennya adalah usia dan tingkat pendidikan. Data dianalisis dengan SPSS dengan uji Spearman. Hasil analiss statistik hubungan antara usia dan stadium kanker didapatkan nilai p=0.003 (p<0,05), sedangkan pada tingkat pendidikan dan stadium kanker didapatkan nilai p=0.047 (p<0,05). Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara usia dan tingkat pendidikan dengan stadium kanker. Usia adalah salah satu faktor risiko untuk kejadian kanker karena faktor penurunan fungsi organ tubuh, imunitas, dan peningkatan mutasi genetik sel. Tingkat pendidikan berhubungan dengan kecerdasan emosi dan kemampuan memilih strategi koping adaptif saat stres. Kondisi mental yang buruk berkontribusi terhadap progresifitas dan pengobatan kanker. Pendidikan yang lebih tinggi memungkinkan peningkatan produktivitas dan pendapatan. Individu dengan pendapatan dan jenis pekerjaan yang lebih baik berpeluang untuk melakukan screening pemeriksaan kanker lebih dini. Kesimpulannya yaitu faktor yang berhubungan dengan stadium pada penderita kanker adalah usia dan tingkat pendidikan. Rekomendasi bagi peneliti selanjutnya dapat mengembangkan penelitian dengan meneliti faktor lain yang berhubungan dengan stadium pada pasien kanker.]]>
