Abstract

Elementary schools represent a strategic setting for instilling healthy behaviors early in life, as children are in a critical period of habit and character formation. Along with the evolution of educational practices, conventional health education methods have shifted toward more interactive, participatory, and holistic approaches. This study aims to explore and synthesize recent innovations and strategies in implementing health programs in elementary schools. An integrative review design was applied by analyzing 44 selected articles, including quantitative, qualitative, and experimental studies. The reviewed literature focuses on interventions related to physical health, mental health, and dental health among elementary school students. The findings identify four main clusters of program innovation: the use of creative media and gamification to enhance health knowledge, classroom-based mental health interventions such as deep breathing and mindfulness, the integration of physical education to address obesity prevention and character development, and comprehensive school health management that emphasizes the role of teachers and supportive school policies. The review concludes that health programs in elementary schools are shifting from one-way counseling toward more engaging and participatory interventions, with multidimensional approaches demonstrating greater effectiveness in improving student health outcomes.

Abstract

Early childhood mental health frequently receives insufficient attention in school-based learning activities, despite its fundamental role in children's socio-emotional development. One intervention that can be implemented to support mental health is the role-playing method. This study aims to analyze the impact of the role-playing method on the mental health of Group B children at Brang Ene 2 State Kindergarten, West Sumbawa Regency. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. Data were collected using structured observation sheets. The research sample consisted of 15 children in Group B. Data analysis was performed using the Paired Samples T-test via SPSS 30.0 for Windows. The results indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, where the average score increased from 50.27 to 69.87. Hypothesis testing yielded a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.001 (p < 0.05), demonstrating that the role-playing method has a significant effect on children's mental health. Consequently, role-playing serves as an effective alternative instructional strategy to foster mental health development in early childhood education settings.
