Abstract

Introduction: Excessive gadget use among school-age children has become a growing concern due to its negative impact on social and behavioral development. Children who spend prolonged periods using digital devices often exhibit reduced social engagement, limited verbal communication, emotional withdrawal, and decreased participation in peer interactions. These conditions may hinder the development of essential interpersonal skills during a critical stage of growth. Traditional play activities, such as jump rope, offer opportunities for physical movement, communication, cooperation, and social interaction, making them potential therapeutic interventions for children experiencing gadget-related social difficulties. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of jump rope play therapy in improving social interaction among children with gadget addiction. Method: A descriptive case study design was employed involving a 10-year-old female child residing in Dayeuhmanggung Village, West Java, Indonesia. The intervention consisted of two structured jump rope play therapy sessions conducted over four consecutive days. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with parents, direct observations using behavioral checklists, gadget usage logs, and field documentation. Behavioral changes before and after the intervention were analyzed descriptively. Results: Following the intervention, the child demonstrated notable improvements in social behavior. Daily gadget use decreased from more than 3 hours to approximately 1.5 hours. Increased eye contact, spontaneous verbal responses, initiation of conversations, active participation in outdoor play, and greater willingness to interact with family members and peers were observed. Parents also reported enhanced sociability, improved mood, and reduced dependence on digital devices. Conclusion: Jump rope play therapy appears to be a culturally appropriate, low-cost, and effective intervention for enhancing social interaction and reducing gadget dependency among school-age children. The findings suggest that integrating traditional play activities into community and family-based nursing interventions may support children's psychosocial development and social reintegration.

Abstract

Background: Excessive gadget use among school-aged children has become an increasing concern because prolonged screen exposure may interfere with cognitive, emotional, and social development. Therapeutic play has been proposed as a non-pharmacological nursing intervention to encourage healthy developmental behaviors. Objective: To describe the implementation of Lego play therapy in managing excessive gadget use in a school-aged child through a pediatric nursing case study. Methods: A qualitative single-case study was conducted involving a 9-year-old girl who demonstrated excessive gadget use. Nursing assessment, observation, and parental interviews were performed before and after a three-day Lego play therapy intervention. Behavioral responses, social interaction, attention span, emotional regulation, and engagement in play activities were documented descriptively. Results: Following the intervention, the child demonstrated reduced interest in gadget use during therapy sessions, improved attention and concentration, increased verbal communication, better emotional regulation, and greater willingness to interact with family members. The intervention also encouraged creativity and active participation in constructive play. Conclusion: This case study suggests that Lego play therapy may serve as a practical nursing intervention to redirect excessive gadget use while promoting cognitive and social engagement in school-aged children. Further studies with larger samples, standardized outcome measures, and longer follow-up periods are required to confirm these preliminary findings

Abstract

Introduction: Academic stress during the final year of study, particularly during the preparation of culminating reports or theses, is a well-documented phenomenon. Although family support is often posited as a protective factor, empirical evidence regarding its specific impact remains limited. This study addresses this gap by examining the relationship between perceived family support and stress levels among pharmacy students at STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis engaged in final report preparation. The research aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how family dynamics influence academic stress within this particular context. Objective: To examine the association between perceived family support and stress levels among final-semester students during final report preparation. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted from March to May 2024 at STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis involving 33 final-semester Pharmacy students. Data were collected via a validated online questionnaire assessing family support (16 items) and stress levels (14 items) using a 4-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Most respondents experiencing moderate to very severe stress reported having supportive families. However, statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between family support and stress levels (p = 0.177). Conclusion: There is no significant association between perceived family support and academic stress. These findings suggest that other internal and academic factors may play a greater role in influencing student stress during final report writing.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between peer support and stress levels among university students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to April 2025 involving 35 undergraduate students selected through purposive sampling at Institut Kesehatan Rajawali Bandung. Peer support was measured using a validated questionnaire covering informational, instrumental, emotional, and appraisal support. Stress levels were assessed using the stress subscale of the DASS-42. Data were collected via an online survey and analyzed using the Chi-Square test with SPSS version 29. Results: Most participants reported fair (74.3%) or good (25.7%) levels of peer support. Stress levels were predominantly normal (45.7%) or mild (28.6%). The statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between peer support and stress levels (p = 0.698) Conclusion: Although peer support is generally considered beneficial for mental health, this study found no significant association between peer support and stress levels among university students. Broader factors such as academic pressure and individual coping mechanisms may play a more influential role, suggesting the need for comprehensive support strategies in higher education.

Abstract

Introduction: Time management is a crucial skill for university students in balancing academic and personal responsibilities. Previous studies suggest that effective time management supports academic achievement, yet many students struggle to apply it consistently. Understanding this relationship is important to inform strategies that enhance student success. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between time management skills and academic achievement among university students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at UIN Jakarta in March–April 2025, involving 39 undergraduate students. Participants completed a questionnaire assessing time management and academic performance. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 29. Descriptive statistics summarized demographics, and a Chi-square test assessed the association between time management and academic achievement (p < 0.05). Results: Most students demonstrated fairly good time management (69.2%) and very good academic performance (69.2%). However, the Chi-square analysis showed no significant relationship between time management and academic achievement (p = 0.817). Conclusion: Despite previous findings suggesting a positive link, this study found no significant correlation between time management and academic success. The results highlight the complexity of academic performance and suggest that additional factors such as motivation, learning strategies, and institutional support play essential roles. These findings imply that interventions to support academic success should adopt a more holistic approach.

Abstract

Introduction: Clinical practice is a critical stage in nursing education but often causes considerable stress among students. Coping mechanisms play an essential role in managing this stress and determining students’ academic and psychological outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2024 at STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis with 34 students in clinical practice (PBK). Peer support (independent variable) was measured using a validated questionnaire with four indicators (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.84). Stress levels (dependent variable) were assessed using the 14-item stress subscale of the DASS-42 (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.89). Data were collected via Google Forms and analyzed with SPSS 29 using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test (p < 0.05). Results: The results showed that most students experienced moderate stress (76.5%) and the rest experienced severe stress (23.5%). No participants reported mild stress levels. In terms of coping mechanisms, 79.4% of students used adaptive coping strategies, while 20.6% used maladaptive ones. The Chi-square test indicated no statistically significant relationship between stress levels and the type of coping mechanisms used (p = 0.465). Conclusion: This study found no significant association between stress levels and coping mechanisms among undergraduate students undergoing clinical learning. Although most students experienced moderate to severe stress, the majority employed adaptive coping strategies. These findings suggest a promising level of resilience among students and highlight the importance of continuous institutional support and coping-skills development in clinical education settings.

Abstract

  Introduction: Diabetic ulcers are one of the most common chronic complications of Diabetes Mellitus and are associated with delayed wound healing, increased infection risk, and lower quality of life. Maintaining an optimal moist wound environment is an essential component of diabetic ulcer management. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties that may enhance wound healing. Objective: To describe the implementation of Virgin Coconut Oil as a moist dressing in promoting diabetic ulcer wound healing through a nursing care approach. Method: This descriptive case study involved one patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus presenting with a diabetic ulcer. Nursing care was provided through assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation according to the Indonesian Nursing Standards (SDKI, SIKI, and SLKI). Virgin Coconut Oil was applied as a moist dressing during three consecutive nursing visits. Wound progress was evaluated using clinical observations based on wound moisture, redness, signs of infection, and tissue appearance. Result: Progressive improvement was observed following three applications of VCO. The wound demonstrated improved moisture balance, reduced periwound redness, healthy granulation tissue formation, and no clinical signs of infection. These findings indicate that VCO supported the wound healing process during nursing care. Conclusion: Virgin Coconut Oil may serve as a practical, safe, and low-cost complementary intervention for diabetic ulcer wound management. Further studies involving larger samples and controlled study designs are recommended to confirm its effectiveness.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a major global health problem and often accompanied by subjective complaints such as headache and neck stiffness, which may reduce patients’ quality of life. Non-pharmacological nursing interventions are needed to complement pharmacological therapy in managing pain among hypertensive patients. One alternative intervention is neck massage using olive oil, which promotes muscle relaxation and improves local blood circulation. Objective: This study aimed to describe the effectiveness of neck massage using olive oil in reducing headache intensity in patients with hypertension. Method: This research employed a descriptive case study design involving two hypertensive patients who experienced headache in the working area of Kahuripan Primary Health Center, Tasikmalaya. The intervention consisted of neck massage using olive oil for 10 minutes once daily over three consecutive days. Pain intensity was measured before and after each session using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing pain scores before and after the intervention. Result: Both respondents experienced a consistent decrease in headache intensity following the intervention. The first respondent showed a total reduction of four points (from 6 to 2), while the second respondent showed a reduction of three points (from 5 to 2) over three days of treatment. Conclusion: Neck massage using olive oil was effective in reducing headache intensity among hypertensive patients. This intervention can be recommended as a complementary non-pharmacological nursing therapy to improve patient comfort alongside standard pharmacological management.
