Abstract

Background: According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), a total of 1,427 cases of violence against children under the age of 18 occurred. One of the most common forms of violence in the school environment is bullying, particularly in the form of verbal teasing, with a prevalence of up to 75% among students. However, only 45% of victims are willing to report such incidents. Bullying behaviour is influenced by factors such as knowledge and attitude. The research objective is to identify the correlation between knowledge and attitudes toward bullying behaviour among SMA Negeri 5 Surakarta students.Methods: A correlational quantitative approach was used in this research. The population consisted of all 128 tenth-grade students, and 97 respondents were selected using simple random sampling based on the Slovin formula. The independent variables were knowledge and attitude, while the dependent variable was bullying behaviour. Data were collected using questionnaires and analysed using the Chi-square statistical test.Results: The analysis showed no significant correlation between the level of knowledge and bullying behaviour (p-value = 0.983), and no significant correlation between attitude and bullying behaviour (p-value = 0.363).Conclusion: Furthermore, most students reported never engaging in bullying, totalling 93 respondents (95.9%). There was no significant relationship between knowledge and bullying behaviour, with a p-value of 0.569 > 0.05. Similarly, there was no significant relationship between attitudes and bullying behaviour, with a p-value of 0.827 > 0.05.

Abstract

Background: Smoking cessation is an important management for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), but many patients continue to smoke due to low motivation. Therefore, further studies exploring the motivation to quit smoking are needed. This study examines the relationship between lung function, disease severity, and motivation to quit in COPD patients.Methods: A correlational cross-sectional study was conducted at a pulmonary hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in February 2024. One hundred adults with COPD who were current smokers were chosen through random sampling. We used the Richmond Test to measure motivation to quit smoking, the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) questionnaire to assess the severity of COPD, and Peak flow meters to assess lung function by measuring peak expiratory flow (PEF). Descriptive statistics were provided to summarise the characteristics of the participants, and Spearman’s rank correlation was used to analyse the relationships between the variables.Results: The average age of the participants was 65 years, the length of time they had been smoking was 23 years, and the number of cigarettes smoked each day was 23. Most respondents showed moderate motivation to quit smoking (70%) and had a diagnosis of severe (60%) COPD. There is a significant correlation between peak expiratory flow and the motivation to quit smoking (p = 0.03) and between the severity of the disease and the motivation to quit smoking (p = 0.04).Conclusion: These findings emphasise the importance of communicating PEF assessment results and disease severity to enhance COPD patients’ motivation to quit smoking.

Abstract

Background: Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhea, arises from heightened prostaglandin production, leading to uterine cramps. This discomfort can interfere with daily activities. One recommended non-pharmacological approach to relieve this condition is practising the child’s pose in yoga. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of this pose in reducing menstrual discomfort among students. Methods: The research was conducted at SMPN 2 Pamulihan during the period of July through August. This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The participants were 7th and 8th grade junior high school students experiencing primary dysmenorrhea who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pain assessment was conducted using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), a validated and widely accepted instrument for evaluating pain levels. The yoga intervention was implemented based on established Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to ensure consistency and adherence to protocol. Data were analysed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with the Wilcoxon test applied to assess the differences between pretest and posttest results. Results: Prior to the intervention, 25 participants (69.4%) experienced mild pain. Following the yoga sessions, 26 students (72.2%) reported mild pain. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference before and after the intervention (p = 0.000 < 0.05), indicating the potential of child’s pose yoga as a non-pharmacological method for easing dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: The child’s pose yoga technique shows promise in managing menstrual discomfort among adolescents, serving as a viable non-pharmacological alternative.

Abstract

Background: Elderly individuals with hypertension often face high stress levels, which can worsen their physical and psychological health. Self-efficacy, the belief in one's ability to manage challenges, plays a crucial role in coping with chronic illness. Research suggests that higher self-efficacy is linked to better stress management and improved health outcomes. In hypertensive elderly, strong self-efficacy may help reduce stress by promoting confidence in handling daily tasks and medical routines. Understanding this relationship is essential for developing effective interventions to support elderly patients and enhance their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and stress levels in elderly people with hypertension. Methods: This research design is correlational analytic using a cross-sectional approach; the instruments in this study were the Self-efficacy to Manage Hypertension-Five Item Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The sample in this study consists of 65 respondents, all of whom are elderly individuals diagnosed with hypertensionResults: 12 (18,5%) elderly experienced low self-efficacy, and 5 (7,7%) elderly had severe stress. There is a negative relationship between self-efficacy and stress in the elderly, with a p value <0.000 (<0.05), with a correlation of -.580**. Conclusion: This means that the higher the self-efficacy possessed by the elderly, the lower the stress that arises. Self-efficacy plays an important role in reducing stress in the elderly, especially those who suffer from hypertension. The elderly are recommended to increase their self-efficacy through several complementary therapies.

Abstract

Background: During early childhood, a period of rapid growth, malnutrition remained a major concern, with millions of infants worldwide affected by underweight, and stunting. Unresolved, this condition led to poor growth, weakened immunity, and delayed cognitive development. Baby-Led Weaning (BLW), a method where infants aged six months and older self-fed solid foods, offered a potential solution by encouraging food exploration, chewing skills, and appetite. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of BLW-based complementary feeding on infant weight gain.Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. An accidental sampling technique was used to select 15 infants aged 9 to 24 months. The intervention period lasted for 14 consecutive days, during which the BLW method was implemented at the participants’ homes under the guidance of the researcher. Data were collected through observations of infant weight measurements and analyzed using a paired t-test. Results: The study found that the average infant weight increased from 9.53 kg before the BLW intervention to 10.05 kg afterward. A paired t-test revealed a statistically significant difference, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings indicate that complementary feeding using the BLW method effectively increased infant weight. Therefore, the BLW approach is recommended for mothers introducing complementary foods, as it may support optimal growth and development in infants.

Abstract

Background: Technological advances are making activities easier. The convenience gained hurts daily life, such as laziness in exercise and reluctance to gather and communicate actively, especially among teenagers. Physical fitness is essential in improving cardiovascular health, including heart and blood vessel endurance and vital lung capacity. Maximum oxygen volume (VO2 max) can be used to assess a person's cardiorespiratory endurance. This study aimed to use a 6-minute walk test to measure VO2 max and the lungs' vital capacity. Methods: The method used a pre-experiment with total sampling, namely 118 student respondents. These tools include emergency equipment, a stopwatch to calculate running time, colourful markers to indicate the path, and traffic cones for additional markers, using the Borg Breathing Difficulty Scale to check how difficult it is for respondents to breathe. Analysis used the Wilcoxon test because the normality assumption is not met.Results: The results showed that the relationship between the distance of the 6-minute walk test and vital lung capacity was indicated by a p-value of 0.000 (P<0.05), and the relationship between the distance of the 6-minute walk test and VO2 max was marked by a p-value of 0.000 (P<0.05). Physical fitness is essential in improving cardiovascular health, including heart and blood vessel endurance and lung vital capacity. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a relationship between the 6-minute walk test and vital lung capacity and VO2 max.

Abstract

Background: School-age children are vulnerable to infectious diseases that can potentially lead to death. Proper handwashing is one of the effective measures for prevention. Preventive actions become more effective when health education is delivered using demonstration and storytelling methods. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of health education using demonstration and storytelling methods on the level of handwashing knowledge among first-grade elementary school students in Krogowanan Village, Sawangan, Magelang. Methods: The research was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-test and post-test design without a control group. A total sampling technique was employed, involving 42 respondents who were divided into two groups based on the method used: demonstration and storytelling. A questionnaire was used as the research instrument. Data were analysed using the Paired T-Test and the Independent T-Test.Results: The results of the Independent T-Test revealed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000 < 0.05) in handwashing knowledge between the groups that received demonstration and storytelling interventions. The mean increase was higher in the storytelling group (2.1429) than in the demonstration group (1.8571).Conclusions: It indicates that the storytelling method was more effective in improving handwashing skills in first-grade elementary school children.

Abstract

Background: Nutrition problems in children remain a serious challenge to health development, including in preschool-aged children. One important factor that influences children's nutritional status is the role of mothers as primary caregivers. Mothers' knowledge and attitudes toward nutrition play a crucial role in decision-making to meet their children's nutritional needs. However, many preschool-aged children still experience malnutrition despite their mothers having sufficient knowledge. This prompted research to examine the relationship between mothers' knowledge and attitudes toward feeding patterns and the nutritional status of preschool-aged children.Methods: The method used in this study is a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design using non-probability sampling. The study population consisted of 260 mothers with preschool children, with a sample size of 158 participants. The sampling technique used was random sampling. This study used a questionnaire assessing mothers' knowledge and attitudes toward the nutrition of preschool-aged children, which had been adopted and modified. Results: The results of the chi-square test showed most respondents had poor knowledge (49.4%), and their attitudes were in the good category (53.8%). Most respondents had good nutritional status (60.1%). The relationship between knowledge about dietary patterns and nutritional status (p-value= 0.777), but attitudes and nutritional status (p-value= 0.003). Conclusion: There was no relationship between knowledge about dietary patterns and the nutritional status of preschool children. However, there was a relationship between attitudes toward dietary patterns and the nutritional status of preschool children. These results emphasise that cognitive aspects need to be expanded with an affective approach.

Abstract

Background: Work-related stress is a common issue among nurses and can affect their performance, quality of care, and psychological well-being. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between age, gender, and length of service with work-related stress levels among nurses at a hospital in Banjarbaru City.Methods: A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used. The sample consisted of 120 nurses at a hospital in Banjarbaru City selected through proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), which has been validated in previous studies with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.82. Data were analysed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05.Results: The results showed no significant relationship between age (p=0.298), gender (p=0.397), and length of service (p=0.581) and the level of work-related stress. However, descriptive results indicated a higher proportion of stress among nurses who were female, younger, and had longer work experience.Conclusion: It is recommended that hospital management focus more on workload, work environment, and psychosocial support rather than individual demographic factors in managing work stress.

Abstract

Background: The high incidence of traffic accidents has led to a significant increase in fractures, particularly of the lower extremities, many of which require treatment through Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) procedures. Post-ORIF patients commonly experience pain and fear in performing daily activities, including impaired balance and coordination. To address this condition, a structured and progressive integrated physical exercise intervention is necessary. This study aims to evaluate the impact of an integrated intervention that combines physical activity, pain management, and enhancement of fall efficacy on the functional status of patients recovering from lower extremity fracture surgery using the Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) procedure.Methods: The study was conducted using a pre-experimental design with a single-group pretest-posttest approach to 53 post-ORIF patients with lower extremity fractures treated in the inpatient ward of Sragen Regional General Hospital, Surakarta. Instruments used included the Barthel Index to assess functional status, the Fall Efficacy Scale, and a clinical observation sheet to evaluate physical ability. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon test.Results: Data showed an improvement in balance function, coordination, and overall functional status in post-ORIF patients with lower extremity fractures after receiving the integrated activity training intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a statistically significant effect.Conclusion: The study demonstrates that an integrated physical exercise program combined with pain management and fall efficacy enhancement has a significant impact on improving balance, coordination, and functional status in patients recovering from fractures.
