Abstract

Introduction: Children with disabilities/chronic illnesses often have difficulties in socializing and tend to have a low self-image. Parents, as the main children’s self-image-forming factor, also ex-perience difficulties in dealing with their children. This study aims to increase children’s and parents’ knowledge about self-image and acceptance, hence improving children’s self-image. Methods: A quasi-experimental research study with the intervention of three modules for children and parents was carried out between June and September 2022. Thirty children and their parents from the Community for Empowerment of Parents of Children with Special Needs, the Heart Warrior Community, and the Foundation for De-velopment of Disabled Children were included. Pretest and posttest were measured and statistically tested using the Wilcoxon test. At the end of the interventions, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Self-Harm Inventory, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and Pediatric Quality of Life were measured. Results: There was a sig-nificant increase in knowledge on 3 child modules and 1 parent module. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale score is 17.17 ± 2.618 (good self-image); the Self-Harm Inventory score is 2.18 ± 3.275 (low risk of self-injury); the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire score is 18.37 ± 5.230 (moderate difficulty); and the Pediatric Qual-ity of Life value is 34.64 ± 12.077 (good quality of life). Conclusion: The self-image strengthening module intervention is effective in increasing children’s and parents’ knowledge. Children with dis-abilities/chronic illnesses have a good self-image, low self-harm tendencies, and relatively good quality of life.

Abstract

Introduction: Low back pain is a significant global health issue. This condition not only causes physical discomfort but can also reduce the quality of life and productivity of individuals. This study aims to determine the characteristics of patients with low back pain at  Mampang Prapatan General Hospital. Methods: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study using secondary medical record data from Mampang Prapatan General Hospital  in 2024. The sampling technique used in this study was simple random sampling. Results: There were 40 samples in this study, 31 samples were female (77.5%) and 9 samples were male (22.5%). The average age was 55.6 years old, with the largest age group being those over 60 years old (42.5%). The most common nutritional status was grade 1 obesity (47.5%). Radiating pain was most frequently reported pain (67.5%). Radiological examination using lumbosacral x-ray showed that the most common finding was lumbar spondylosis (57.5%). The most commonly used treatment was a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy, specifically physiotherapy combined with analgesics and anti-spasmodic drugs. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the distribution of low back pain patients at Mampang Prapatan General Hospital were most prevalent among females, elderly individuals (>60 years), had obese nutritional status, and experienced radiating pain symptom. A combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological management can be used to improve the quality of life for patients with low back pain.
