Abstract

Premature infants are at high risk of experiencing physiological instability due to organ immaturity, especially in the regulation of body temperature, respiration, and the cardiovascular system. One of the main interventions in the care of premature infants is the use of an incubator. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of incubator use on the physiological stability of premature infants. The research method used was a quantitative study with an analytical observational design. The subjects were premature infants treated in the perinatology ward. The physiological parameters observed included body temperature, respiratory rate, and heart rate. The results showed that the use of an incubator significantly helped maintain the physiological stability of premature infants. Thus, an incubator is an effective and essential tool in the care of premature infants to improve physiological stability and prevent further complications.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Hospitalization in children often causes anxiety caused by the new environment, medical procedures, and separation from family. High anxiety can impact the child's psychological condition and hinder the healing process. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be carried out by nurses to reduce children's anxiety is the storytelling method. This study aims to determine the effect of the storytelling method by nurses on children's anxiety levels during hospitalization. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest - posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 40 children undergoing treatment in the pediatric inpatient ward. Measurement of anxiety levels was carried out using a child anxiety scale before and after the storytelling intervention. Data analysis used a paired t- test. The results showed a significant decrease in children's anxiety levels after the storytelling intervention (p < 0.001). It was concluded that the storytelling method is effective in reducing children's anxiety levels during hospitalization. Keywords: Storytelling, Child Anxiety, Hospitalization, Pediatric Nursing
