Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual problem among adolescent girls and often affects daily activities, concentration, and academic performance. Yoga exercise is known to reduce menstrual pain through relaxation, improved blood circulation, and increased endorphin release. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of yoga exercise in reducing dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls at Budi Murni 2 Private High School Medan. Methods: This pre-experimental study employed a one-group pretest– posttest design involving 56 adolescent girls selected using purposive sampling. Yoga exercise was conducted for 30 minutes twice weekly. Dysmenorrhea intensity was assessed using the Wong Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Spearman Rank correlation test. Results: Before the intervention, 82.1% of respondents experienced severe dysmenorrhea. After yoga exercise, 85.7% reported a decrease to mild pain, and 12.5% reported no pain. The Spearman Rank correlation test showed a significant relationship between yoga exercise and dysmenorrhea reduction (p = 0.019) with a very strong negative correlation (r = –0.885). Conclusion: Yoga exercise is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. The findings support yoga as a non-pharmacological intervention that can be integrated into school-based health programs to manage menstrual pain.

Abstract

Background: Psychosocial problems among nursing students have become a significant concern in healthcare education. High academic demands combined with clinical practice pressures create vulnerability to mental health issues. This study aimed to describe psychosocial problems among D-III nursing students in Poso. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted among 111 nursing students using the SRQ-29 questionnaire. Data were collected through online forms and interviews over three days. The study focused on identifying neurosis-related psychosocial problems among respondents. Results: The findings revealed that 57 students (51.4%) experienced neurosis problems, while 54 students (48.6%) showed no significant psychosocial issues. Female students showed higher prevalence (52.7%) compared to males (48.6%). The highest proportion of neurosis cases was found among third-year students (56.3%) and those aged 16-17 years (71.4%). Conclusion: More than half of nursing students experience psychosocial problems, primarily neurosis. These findings highlight the need for mental health support programs and counseling services within nursing education institutions.

Expressive writing therapy serves as a potential non-pharmacological intervention to reduce hallucination symptoms through emotional catharsis and distraction mechanisms. To analyze the effectiveness of expressive writing therapy in reducing hallucination symptoms in schizophrenia patients. Methods: A qualitative case study was conducted on a 23-year-old female patient with hebephrenic schizophrenia diagnosis at Dr. Radjiman Wediodiningrat Mental Hospital Lawang. The intervention was performed for 3 days combining expressive writing therapy 20 minutes/day and hallucination management implementation strategies. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. Results: A significant reduction in hallucination symptoms was observed, decreasing from 5 symptoms to 3 symptoms post-intervention. The patient demonstrated improved ability to control hallucinations through rejecting techniques (100%), regular medication adherence (100%), and beginning social interaction capability. Emotional expression through writing showed progression from traumatic experiences toward positive hopes. Conclusion: Expressive writing therapy is effective as an adjuvant intervention in reducing hallucination symptoms and enhancing emotional expression in schizophrenia patients.
