Abstract

Introduction: Pain is a stressor of hospitalization that, if not managed properly, can have physical and psychological impacts on children. One intervention that can be provided to reduce pain in preschool-aged children is play therapy. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of play therapy using medical materials on the pain levels of hospitalized preschool-aged children. Method: This study uses a pre-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. The number of respondents in this study was 25 preschool-aged children who were treated in the Dahlia Pediatric Ward at TK. II R. W. Mongisidi hospital Manado, selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Pain measurement was carried out using the Wong Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale. Data analysis was performed using the Nonparametric Wilcoxon test. Results: The Wilcoxon statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant difference in pain levels before and after the play therapy intervention using medical equipment. Conclusion: Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that there is an effect of play therapy using medical materials on the pain levels of hospitalized preschool-aged children. Future researchers interested in this study are encouraged to use a quasi-experimental method with a two-group pretest-posttest design.

Abstract

Introduction: Improving the quality of healthcare remains a critical need in developing countries. Donabedian’s quality of care model provides a framework to evaluate healthcare outcomes, with patient satisfaction being a key indicator. Understanding patients' perceptions, knowledge, and satisfaction is essential for enhancing healthcare delivery. Objective: This study aimed to assess patients' perceptions, knowledge, and satisfaction with the quality of care provided at a tertiary hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria. Method: A total of 401 individuals were recruited, and data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were coded, cleaned, and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics were summarized in frequency tables and figures, while Chi-square tests were used to test hypotheses at a significance level of p<0.05. Result: Out of 350 valid responses, 86% of respondents demonstrated substantial knowledge about the quality of care. However, 57.1% expressed dissatisfaction with the treatment received, while 56.6% maintained a positive perception of the hospital’s services. A significant relationship was found between knowledge of healthcare quality and perception (χ2 = 11.1, df = 1, p<0.05). On the other hand, the duration of hospital stay did not significantly affect overall satisfaction (χ2 = 0.69, df = 2, p = 0.708). Conclusion: The findings highlight the need to enhance patient satisfaction in healthcare services. Periodic investigations into patient perspectives are essential for informed decision-making and continuous quality improvement in healthcare delivery.

Abstract

Introduction: Labor pain in mothers is partly caused by a reduced oxygen supply to the uterine muscles during contractions. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as electric massage with infrared therapy on the spine, can help increase oxytocin levels, which may accelerate labor progress. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the infrared electric massage mattress (Kapein) in reducing labor pain and enhancing labor progress in primigravida mothers during the active phase of labor. Method: A true experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group was used. The study involved all primigravida mothers in the active phase of labor at the Musytasyfah Karawang Clinic. A total sampling technique was employed, with 30 participants divided into an intervention group (15) and a control group (15). The data were analyzed using the McNemar test. The research was conducted from April to July 2024. Results: The study found that the infrared electric massage mattress (Kapein) was effective in reducing labor pain in primigravida mothers during the active phase (p=0.000). It also demonstrated effectiveness in improving labor progress (p=0.027). Conclusion: The infrared electric massage mattress (Kapein) is effective in reducing labor pain and improving labor progress in primigravida mothers during the active phase of labor. It is suggested that this intervention be considered as an alternative tool in obstetric services and recommended for use by the Health Office in childbirth care.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a nutritional problem facing Indonesia. The nutritional intake of breastfeeding mothers is closely linked to the production of breast milk, which is also a key factor in ensuring the adequate nourishment of infants and toddlers. Objective: The research aims to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers, the history of exclusive breastfeeding, and the incidence of stunting in infants under five in Cikunir Village. Method: The type of research used is quantitative with analytical methods which aims to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers, the history of exclusive breastfeeding, and the incidence of stunting in babies under five. The population is mothers who have babies aged 6-24 months in Cikunir Village, the sampling technique used purposive samples, samples were 52, the data presentation method was in tabular form, the analysis used descriptive and analytical analysis, the instrument used a questionnaire consisting of questions regarding the nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers, factors which affect nutritional status, history of exclusive breastfeeding, incidence of stunting. Result: The results of the statistical test on the relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding mothers and the incidence of stunting obtained a p-value of 0.307, so that 0.307 > alpha (0.05), while the results of the statistical test of the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting obtained a p-value of 0.020 so that it was 0.020 < alpha. (0.05). Conclusion: There is no relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting, and there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting. The researcher postulates that if the nutritional status during pregnancy and breastfeeding is normal, yet the mother is ignorant, unable, or unwilling to obtain information about the nutrition that must be met during this period, this will result in stunting of the child. The prevention of stunting should commence with the provision of education and integrated services for pregnant women and mothers with children up to the age of two.

Abstract

Introduction: Caring for children with mild intellectual disabilities poses significant emotional and social challenges for mothers, often compounded by stigma and limited support. In Indonesia, spirituality and social support play a crucial role in strengthening resilience and framing caregiving as a moral responsibility. Objective: This study aims to explore how mothers perceive the care of children with mild intellectual disabilities and the coping strategies they employ to address physical, emotional, and social challenges. Method: A qualitative phenomenological approach was used, involving semi-structured in-depth interviews with 10 mothers. Data saturation was reached with the eighth participant, confirming no emergence of new significant information. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was conducted, complemented by source and theoretical triangulation to enhance the validity of findings. Results: Four key themes emerged from the analysis: (1) caregiving as an act of worship and moral responsibility, where mothers view their role as a life calling; (2) challenges in caregiving, including physical strain, emotional stress, and stigma-related pressures; (3) coping strategies that rely on social and spiritual support, with family and religious communities serving as key resources; and (4) the inadequacy of formal services, which often forces mothers to depend on community and faith-based organizations. Conclusion: This study highlights the need for community-based programs that address the emotional and spiritual needs of families with children with special needs. Effective collaboration between healthcare providers, community organizations, and religious leaders is crucial for developing inclusive and responsive services tailored to the needs of these families.
