Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia faces a critical situation with 8% of its COVID-19 deaths being healthcare workers (HCWs). These workers are highly susceptible to the virus due to contact with infected patients. Approximately 35.5% of HCWs treating COVID-19 patients develop symptoms within 14 days, and 7% test positive via PCR. Alarmingly, 36% of HCWs are asymptomatic, posing a significant risk of unknowingly spreading the virus. The pandemic has induced fear of death, infection, and transmitting the virus to family members among HCWs, necessitating psychological support to prevent burnout and maintain a functional healthcare system. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of online psychological assistance for HCWs at the forefront of the COVID-19 battle. Methods: One of the psychological assistance methods offered is through social media applications. This type of psychological assistance can be considered the most practical and safe method because it prevents transmission between medical personnel. Results: The increasing number of COVID-19 patients has increased fatigue and infection rates among HCWs. They face uncertainty and feelings of loneliness during the pandemic. However, social support is crucial for psychological first aid and recovery. Misconceptions about COVID-19 being a conspiracy hinder HCWs' efforts. Promoting healthy behaviors such as hygiene practices and mask usage can mitigate the severity of the virus and improve survival rates. Conclusions: In 2020, the surge in COVID-19 cases has forced HCWs to adapt. Nonetheless, conspiracy theories about COVID-19 complicate their duties. Implementing an online psychological assistance application is essential to provide HCWs with the psychological support needed to adapt more effectively to the pandemic's challenges.

Abstract

Children with Special Needs (CSN) in Surabaya still face limitations in conventional therapy services that tend to focus on symptom management, necessitating a more inclusive and enjoyable alternative approach. The Special Children Festival program presents an innovation through implementing Japanese culture-based behavioral therapy to improve children's emotional regulation, focus, and fine motor skills. The novelty of this activity lies in integrating cultural elements into behavioral therapy and strengthening collaboration between hospitals, universities, and the community. The activity was held on June 28, 2025, at Campus B UNUSA, involving 14 CSN and their parents, three therapists from RSI Jemursari Surabaya, one Japan Corner facilitator, and six UNUSA Medical Faculty students. The implementation method included participatory observation and feedback analysis. The intervention consisted of onigiri-making and Japanese calligraphy (shodo) sessions, preceded by education for parents about culture-based behavioral therapy. Evaluation was conducted by assessing children’s engagement, responses during the activities, and parents’ perceptions of the program’s usefulness. This activity increased CSN participation and had a positive impact on focus, emotional regulation, and fine motor skills. Promotion strategies through parent communities and digital media proved effective in participant recruitment. Service standardization through training and certification of support staff enhanced service quality and sustainability, making this program a replicable model for culture-based behavioral therapy for CSN.
