The number of samples in this study was 214 people using the purposive sampling technique was selected to ensure the participation of relevant individuals. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations, and then analyzed thematically to identify key themes. The results showed that the majority of respondents with disabilities were in grade VI, with variations in the types of mild and moderate disabilities. The role of parents, especially housewives with high school education, is very influential in supporting sexual education programs. On the other hand, teachers who have a S1 education and work as civil servants are key actors in the implementation of this education, although they still face challenges such as the lack of special training. The use of interactive educational media, such as animated videos, has been identified as an effective tool in improving the understanding of students with disabilities. The study concludes that collaboration between students, parents, and teachers is essential for the success of sexual violence prevention programs. The recommendations submitted include increasing teacher training and developing educational materials that are in accordance with the cognitive needs of students with disabilities. A holistic approach involving schools, families, and communities is also recommended to create a safe and supportive learning environment.

Abstract

The children with intellectual disability (ID) are vulnerable to Natural Disasters and need priority protection. This leads to the effective implementation of disaster risk reduction (DRR) through integration in school textbooks (ST) as the primary source of teaching and learning, to provide information to ID children. A significant gap is also observed in understanding the extent and adequacy of Natural Disasters in relevant textbooks, accompanied by the potential analysis of appropriate materials. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the inclusion of Natural Disasters in textbooks implemented for ID primary schools using a qualitative content analysis method. All 2020-2021 academic year books were also effectively and efficiently reviewed in presenting the materials of disasters. Results: Six of the 36 textbooks implemented contained natural and integrated materials with thematic titles, namely disasters, seasons, water, land, and earth. In this context, two main themes were identified, including (1) Natural Disasters, namely Hydrology, Geophysics, and Climatology prioritizing floods, landslides/volcanoes, and drought, respectively, and (2) Management Cycle focusing on several stages, such as mitigation, preparedness, and response. Conclusion: The Natural Disasters were experimentally identified, accompanied by integrating the management cycle into school textbooks for students with ID at SPS 1 Padang. This result explained that ID children learned lessons while preparing to encounter Natural Disasters, with preparedness institutionally considered through teachers active participation.

Abstract

Intake of good nutrition plays an important role in achieving optimal body growth. Optimal body growth also includes brain development, which determines someone's intelligence. A factor that is most visible in the community is the lack of a mother’s knowledge about the nutritional intake required for children during their growth period. The research design used in this study is simple experiments. The research was conducted from May to September 2011 in the work areas of Nanggalo Health Center, Padang. The population in this research includes all toddlers in the work areas of Nanggalo Health Center, Padang. The sample size is 60 toddlers, where 30 toddlers received multivitamin therapy, and 30 others received honey therapy for 30 days. After performing the Friedman test, both groups showed the same significance level (P < 0.05), which means there was no significant difference between group 1 and group 2. To determine which group had the most significant effect, a Wilcoxon test was conducted. The conclusion of this research indicates that the therapeutic effect of multivitamins is better than honey therapy combined with vitamin B complex on hemoglobin levels, albumin levels, and nutritional status (w/U) in toddlers in the work areas of Nanggalo Health Center, Padang, in 2011. It is recommended for health workers to provide counseling to the community to encourage the use of multivitamins for toddlers to supplement their nutritional needs for growth and development. Multivitamins are readily available and affordable for the public.

Abstract

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a major health problem among older adults that can lead to disability and decreased quality of life. Preventing the progression of this disease requires a deep understanding of the experiences of older adults in managing their condition. This study aimed to explore the experiences of elderly individuals in preventing the progression of knee osteoarthritis in Pekanbaru City. This study used a qualitative design with a descriptive phenomenological approach. The participants consisted of 15 older individuals aged 60-80 years diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, selected through purposive sampling.

The findings identified four main themes: (1) older adults’ understanding of knee osteoarthritis and its prevention, (2) strategies for managing pain and limited mobility, (3) family and social support in the prevention process, and (4) challenges and barriers in implementing prevention efforts. The results showed that the elderly have only a limited understanding of preventing the progression of osteoarthritis but display high motivation to take preventive measures when they receive adequate support. The most commonly used strategies included activity modification, traditional medicine and light exercise. Comprehensive ed Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a common chronic condition among older adults and is associated with disability and reduced quality of life.
