Abstract

Introduction: Health education is crucial in increasing public knowledge about reproductive health, including Family Planning. The leaflet serves as a medium for conveying information, the effectiveness of which is measured by how well the leaflet helps in better understanding implant contraception, including its benefits, risks, installation procedure, and maintenance. This increase in knowledge is then expected to encourage more accurate decision-making regarding the use of implant contraceptives. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of leaflet media in health education on increasing mothers' knowledge about implant contraception at the Kurra Health Center in Tana Toraja Regency. Method: The research design used is a pre-experiment with a one-group pre-post test design. The research population consists of all Women of Childbearing Age (WUS) in Lembang Rante Limbong, the working area of Puskesmas Kurra, totaling 131 individuals. A sample of 57 individuals was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test or Wilcoxon test, depending on the data distribution. Result: The research results show a p-value of 0.000, which is smaller than the α value of 0.05. Conclusion: There is an effectiveness of leaflet media in health education toward increasing mothers' knowledge about implant contraception at the Kurra Health Center, Tana Toraja Regency. This increase in knowledge is expected to help WUS make wiser decisions regarding family planning and choose contraceptive methods that align with their needs and preferences.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical developmental stage characterized by significant biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional changes. Both peer and family factors have been identified as influential in shaping adolescent aggression. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between peer and family factors and the tendency of aggressive behavior among adolescents at SMP Negeri 1 Pulau Panggung in 2024. Method: A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 265 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed with univariate and bivariate statistical methods, including the Pearson chi-square test. Results: The findings revealed a significant relationship between peer factors and aggressive behavior tendencies, with students experiencing poor peer influences showing higher aggression levels. Similarly, family factors were significantly associated with aggressive tendencies, where adolescents from less supportive family environments exhibited increased aggression. Statistical analysis confirmed these associations with p-values below 0.05. Conclusion: Peer and family environments play crucial roles in influencing aggressive behavior among adolescents. Interventions targeting positive peer interactions and supportive family dynamics are essential to mitigate aggressive tendencies. Future research should consider larger sample sizes and focus on developing effective strategies to reduce adolescent aggression.

Abstract

Introduction: Children with non-verbal autism often experience barriers in developing expressive language skills, which impact their ability to communicate and engage in social interactions. The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) has been developed as an alternative intervention strategy aimed at enhancing functional communication in individuals with verbal limitations, including children with autism. Objective: Children with non-verbal autism often experience barriers in developing expressive language skills, which impact their ability to communicate and engage in social interactions. The PECS has been developed as an alternative intervention strategy aimed at enhancing functional communication in individuals with verbal limitations, including children with autism. Method: This study is a systematic review that explored seven journal databases, PubMed, ProQuest, JSTOR, Garuda, ScienceDirect, CNKI, and Wiley, from 2010 to 2024, with a population of non-verbal children with autism aged 3–12 years who received PECS intervention. The measured parameters included the number of spoken words, picture exchange ability, and functional communication. Three independent reviewers conducted screening using the PRISMA flowchart, quality assessment with the CASP Checklist, and data extraction based on author, intervention, facilitator, setting, sessions, methods, and research topics. Result: Based on 12 articles involving 158 participants, PECS was found to be effective in enhancing expressive communication in children with non-verbal autism and contributed to improvements in the use of short phrases, comprehension of instructions, as well as the reduction of non-adaptive and aggressive behaviors. PECS therapy with a duration of 30–60 minutes across 129 sessions over 23 weeks proved to be optimal, supported by RCT studies demonstrating its effectiveness in improving individuals’ expressive language abilities. Conclusion: PECS is an effective intervention for improving expressive language skills in children with non-verbal autism. This study emphasizes the importance of assessing a child’s developmental progress prior to implementing PECS, in order to tailor the intervention to individual needs. Furthermore, the active involvement of parents and educators is essential to ensure that PECS is implemented consistently and effectively across various settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Parenting styles significantly influence emotional regulation and psychological well-being within families. Supportive parenting enhances emotional skills, whereas unresponsive parenting may lead to tension in family relationships. Objective: This review aims to analyze the impact of parenting styles on emotional regulation within families and its implications for the emotional well-being of family members. Method: This review employed a structured search strategy across four databases, PubMed, ProQuest, Garuda, and JSTOR to identify studies on the influence of parenting styles on emotional regulation in families from 2015 to 2024. The population included parents and children, with parenting styles measured using the PSDQ and emotional regulation using the ERC. Three independent reviewers conducted the selection process following the PRISMA Flow Chart, and article quality was assessed using the CASP Checklist. Extracted data included authors, intervention types, settings, session frequency and duration, as well as the methods and media used. Result: Based on 11 studies with 6,835 participants from Indonesia, Australia, Iran, China, Nigeria, Romania, Palestine, and India, parenting styles significantly influenced emotional regulation and well-being. The authoritative style had positive effects, while permissive and authoritarian styles had negative impacts. Parental emotional regulation, education, and cultural values were moderating factors. Interactive interventions over 6-12 sessions within 4-12 weeks were most effective. Conclusion: Authoritative parenting fosters children's emotional regulation and pro-social behavior, whereas authoritarian and permissive styles are associated with negative outcomes. Therefore, parenting education and family therapy are essential to promoting authoritative parenting styles to support children's emotional well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Fatigue often afflicts patients with chronic illnesses, adversely affecting their quality of life and limiting their ability to execute daily activities. The Benson relaxation technique, a non-pharmacological method, seeks to reduce weariness by stimulating the body's inherent relaxation response. Evidence suggests that this therapy is a viable, safe, and effective method for mitigating fatigue in those with chronic illnesses Objective: This study aims to assess the efficacy of the Benson relaxation technique in mitigating fatigue among individuals with chronic illnesses. Method: A systematic review was conducted across four databases (PubMed, ProQuest, JSTOR, and Garuda) to identify studies published between 2020 and 2024 examining the application of the Benson relaxation technique among adults aged 18 to 65 with chronic illnesses. Fatigue reduction served as the primary outcome, assessed using validated instruments such as the FSS, MFIS, RPFS, FACIT Fatigue, and CFS. Three independent reviewers performed the search, screening, and quality appraisal following PRISMA guidelines and the CASP Checklist. Result: An analysis of 14 clinical trials with 813 participants demonstrated that the Benson relaxation technique significantly alleviates fatigue in persons suffering from chronic conditions, including coronary heart disease, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and renal failure. The intervention boosts sleep quality, reduces anxiety, and improves general well-being. Enhanced efficacy was noted with extended durations (1–12 weeks) and when conducted bi-daily for 10–60 minutes, particularly when integrated with aromatherapy, music therapy, or deep breathing techniques. Conclusion: The Benson relaxation technique has demonstrated efficacy in alleviating fatigue in persons with chronic illnesses. Consequently, nurses can include this method into non-pharmacological tiredness management strategies to enhance patients' overall quality of life.
