Abstract

Older adults are vulnerable to psychological disorders such as depression and insomnia, which are often interrelated and can affect both physical and emotional well-being. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of combining HT7 (Shenmen) acupressure and murattal therapy on reducing depression and insomnia in the elderly. A case report design was used, involving a 68-year-old woman residing in a social care facility who experienced severe depression and insomnia. The intervention consisted of 12 sessions over four weeks (10 minutes per session), in which the client performed self-acupressure at the HT7 point while listening to murattal as a visual-auditory calming stimulus. Depression and insomnia levels were assessed using the GDS-15 and KSPBJ-IRS instruments. Results showed a reduction in GDS-15 score from 12 to 5 (mild depression) and in KSPBJ-IRS score from 30 to 23 (mild insomnia). The client also reported emotional calmness and motivation to continue the therapy independently. This study suggests that the combined intervention is a safe and effective non-pharmacological option. Further research, such as experimental studies, is recommended with more diverse subjects and varied clinical conditions.

Abstract

Children with Special Needs (CSN) have the right to receive inclusive education with teachers as an important factor and the center of the entire education structure. The results of data collection through Focused Group Discussion with Special Education Teachers (SET) in Pangandaran Regency on 27th October 2022, showed that SET sometimes feel anxious about the behaviors shown by CSN at school, such as eating and drinking indiscriminately from items around them that can threaten children's health. And also feel burdened by the hopes of parents who want their child to recover completely after attending special school. Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between mental workload and the level of stress of SLTs in Pangandaran Regency. Method: The method in this study is descriptive correlational with a cross-sectional approach. Primary data were collected using the NASA-TLX questionnaire and the SET Stress Level Questionnaire. There were 82 teachers as respondents using a total sampling technique. Result: Data was collected online through a questionnaire distributed to all special education teachers in Pangandaran Regency. The data was processed statistically using the Spearman Rank test which showed a significance of 0.011 (P value <0.05) with a correlation coefficient value of 0.280 which indicated that the strength of the correlation was sufficient (moderate) with a positive correlation direction. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between mental workload and the stress level of special school teachers in Pangandaran Regency.
