Abstract

Background: Hospitalization in preschool children often causes anxiety due to unfamiliar environments, medical procedures, and separation from parents. Anxiety that is not managed properly may affect children's psychological well-being and recovery process. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be used to reduce anxiety in children is play therapy. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of Animal Food Match play therapy on anxiety levels of children aged 5–6 years who experience hospitalization. Method: This study used a quantitative research design with a pre-experimental approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted in the pediatric inpatient ward of Imanuel Hospital, Bandar Lampung. The sample consisted of 30 children aged 5–6 years who experienced hospitalization and were selected using Porpusive sampling technique. Data were collected using an anxiety observation questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with a significance level of 95% (α = 0.05). Results: The results showed that the mean anxiety score before intervention was 1.23 and decreased to 0.03 after the intervention, with a mean difference of 1.20. The Wilcoxon test showed a Z value of -5.108 and a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores. Conclusion: Animal Food Match play therapy has a significant effect in reducing anxiety levels in children aged 5–6 years who experience hospitalization. Suggestion: Nurses are recommended to apply play therapy as a nursing intervention to reduce anxiety in hospitalized children.

Abstract

Background: The rapid development of digital technology has increased gadget use among adolescents, particularly junior high school (SMP) students. While gadget use can be beneficial as a learning medium and source of information, it also has the potential to negatively impact physical, emotional, and social health if not used wisely. Purpose: This study aims to examine gadget use among eighth-grade students. Method: The study employed a quantitative descriptive design with a survey method and a cross-sectional approach. The sample was determined using the Slovin formula and drawn using a non-probability purposive sampling technique, resulting in 60 respondents from a total population of 150 eighth-grade students. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire structured based on gadget use indicators. Univariate analysis was conducted using frequency distributions and cross-tabulations. Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents were male (60.0%) and 13 years old (61.7%). Gadget use was dominated by the moderate category (60.0%), followed by the high category (23.3%) and the low category (16.7%). Cross-tabulations show that both male and female students are mostly in the moderate gadget use category, with the highest prevalence occurring at age 13. Conclusion: Gadget use among eighth-grade students was mostly in the moderate category. Suggestion: Based on these research findings, it is recommended that schools and parents supervise and educate students so that gadget use can be more judicious and balanced.
