Abstract

Hospitalization is a crisis situation in children, when the child is sick and treated in the hospital. Anxiety is a negative emotional state characterized by premonition and somatic tension, such as a racing heart, sweating, difficulty breathing. The ability of a person or individual to adapt varies, so that stress or anxiety can arise. Efforts from the health sector that can be developed to minimize the negative impact of child care are by approaching parents, providing a comfortable and safe environment for children, providing toys or things that are loved by children and suggesting the implementation of family-centered care. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of anxiety in preschool-aged children who were hospitalized in the Children's Ward of Dr. H. Jusuf SK Hospital. This study used quantitative descriptive research with a survey design and used a purposive sampling technique, with a sample size of 36 respondents. The instrument used was the Facial Image Scale (FIS) observation sheet. Data analysis used univariate analysis to determine the distribution of each assessment category. The results showed that the level of anxiety of respondents in the Children's Ward of Dr. H. Jusuf SK Hospital was mostly in the moderate anxiety category, namely 18 people (50.0%). For further researchers, this research can be developed by examining other influences that can affect the level of anxiety in preschool children during hospitalization that have not been studied in this study.

Abstract

Hypertension affects both physical and psychological health, including increasing anxiety, which can further worsen patients’ conditions. The Riliv application offers a practical solution for managing anxiety independently and effectively. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of implementing the Riliv mindfulness application on anxiety levels in hypertensive patients. This study employed a quantitative approach with a pretest–posttest control group design using a quasi-experimental method. The sample was selected through purposive sampling and consisted of 30 respondents, divided into 15 respondents in the intervention group and 15 respondents in the control group. The intervention was conducted over a period of 10 days with 10 sessions using the Riliv mindfulness application. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) as the primary instrument. Data analysis was performed using paired t-test and independent t-test. The results showed that in the intervention group, the mean anxiety score decreased from 18.27 to 15.73 (p < 0.001). While the control group showed an increase in the mean anxiety score from 18.27 to 18.67 (p = 0.189). The independent t-test results indicated a statistically significant difference in anxiety levels between the intervention group and the control group, with a p-value of 0.005 (p < 0.05). The Riliv mindfulness app significantly reduced anxiety scores in hypertensive patients after 10 days of intervention.

Abstract

Preschoolers often experience anxiety during invasive procedures such as IV insertion in the emergency department (ED). This anxiety resulting from hospitalization can hinder children's involvement in medical procedures and delay recovery, necessitating effective interventions. This study aimed to analyze the effect of using a Child's Surgical Sarong (SAPALUNAK) on reducing anxiety levels in preschoolers during IV insertion procedures in the ED, with outcomes including decreased anxiety scores, increased cooperation, and smoother procedures. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a post-test-only non-equivalent control group approach. Data were collected from April to May 2025 at the ED of Wijayakusuma Hospital III Purwokerto. A sample of 48 preschoolers was allocated into two groups: an intervention group receiving SAPALUNAK and a control group receiving animated cartoons as a distraction. Consecutive sampling was used as the sampling technique. Anxiety levels were measured post-intervention using the Face Image Scale (FIS), and data were analyzed statistically using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in anxiety levels between the two groups (p < 0.05). Nursing SAPALUNAK can be implemented as a non-pharmacological intervention in pediatric nursing practice to improve patient comfort and cooperation, and support smooth IV administration. Its use also has the potential to be implemented as part of atraumatic care-based nursing standards in the emergency department. These findings indicate that the use of SAPALUNAK is effective and feasible in reducing procedural anxiety in preschool-aged children during IV administration in the emergency department.   Abstrak Anak usia prasekolah sering mengalami kecemasan selama prosedur invasif seperti pemasangan infus di IGD.
