Abstract

Background: Hospitalization is the admission of an individual to a hospital as a patient for various reasons. Hospitalization can cause excessive anxiety, especially in children, and if left untreated, can reduce the intensity of therapy and care during recovery. One way to reduce anxiety is through play. Play therapy is an important aspect of a child's life and one of the most effective tools for managing stress during hospitalization. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of colored sand play therapy on anxiety levels in children hospitalized in the Orchid Room of Dr. Soehadi Prijonegoro Regional Hospital, Sragen. Method: This study used a pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 25 children who received colored sand play therapy. The population in this study were children aged 3-6 years who were treated in the Orchid Room of Dr. Soehadi Prijonegoro Regional Hospital, Sragen, within the past month. A total of 25 children were used for the sample. Statistical analysis used was the Wilcoxon rank test. Results: The anxiety level of hospitalized children before therapy was mostly in the light category, with 21 respondents (84%) and medium category with 4 respondents (16%). After therapy, all respondents experienced light anxiety. The Wilcoxon rank test yielded a p-value of 0.002 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study contributes to reducing the anxiety levels of hospitalized preschool children through effective and interactive colored sand play therapy.

Abstract

Background: Globally, there are around 1.7 billion cases of diarrhea in children each year, and diarrhea is the main cause of malnutrition in children under five. In developing countries, diarrhea causes 1.8 million deaths of children under five, which has increased from 1.5 million in the last 20 years. The causes of diarrhea are related to host, agent, and environmental factors. In Indonesia, diarrhea remains a serious public health problem, especially among toddlers. Purpose: to analyze the factors related to diarrhea among toddlers in the working area of the Labuhan Ratu Health Center in 2024. Method: This research used a quantitative analytic method with a cross-sectional design. The population was all toddlers in the working area of the Labuhan Ratu Health Center, totaling 4,589 children. A sample of 188 toddlers was selected using a simple random sampling technique. Primary data were collected using questionnaires. The data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate (logistic regression). Results: The study showed that nutritional status (p = 0.011; OR = 2.369), maternal education (p = 0.018; OR = 2.395), exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.006; OR = 2.394), handwashing habits (p = 0.000; OR = 5.425), and source of drinking water (p = 0.004; OR = 2.630) had significant relationships with diarrhea in toddlers. Economic level (p = 0.075) and immunization history (p = 0.200) were not significantly related. The most dominant factor was handwashing habits (p = 0.000; OR = 4.772). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between several factors and diarrhea incidence in toddlers, especially handwashing behavior. It is recommended that the health center increase education for pregnant women and mothers of toddlers on the importance of handwashing, exclusive breastfeeding, balanced nutrition, and clean water to prevent diarrhea.

Abstract

Background: Sectio caesarea surgery is a surgical procedure that often causes anxiety in patients. This anxiety needs to be reduced to prevent adverse physical and psychological impacts. One potential non-pharmacological method is stress ball therapy, which can provide a relaxing effect and reduce anxiety through sensory stimulation. Purpose: To determine the effect of stress ball therapy on anxiety in pre-operative sectio caesarea patients at RSUD dr. Soehadi Prijonegoro Sragen. Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 35 mothers undergoing cesarean section who met the criteria. Stress ball therapy intervention was performed before entering the operating room. The participants held the ball for 3-5 seconds, repeating it 10 times within 1-minute, alternating hands. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) before and after the intervention. Results: Statistical analysis showed a difference in mean scores from 30.31 to 21.34, and a Marginal Homogeneity Test with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). This indicates that stress ball therapy has an effect on anxiety levels in pre-sectio caesarea patients. Conclusion: Stress ball therapy has been proven effective as a complementary therapy in reducing post-sectio caesarea pain. It can be used as a reference in nursing practice to improve care for pre-operative mothers.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety in pregnant women in the third trimester reaches 28.7% in Indonesia, negatively impacting the health of the mother and fetus. The limitations of pharmacological interventions include the possibility of side effects on the fetus, so non-pharmacological therapy, such as murottal, Al-Qur’an, becomes an alternative. Murottal treatment has been proven to be effective in reducing anxiety through alpha wave stimulation that calms the autonomic nervous system. Purpose: to determine the effect of murottal Al-Qur’an therapy on anxiety levels in pregnant women in the third trimester. Method: This study used a quantitative design with a quasi-experimental method (quasi-experiment), pre-test, post-test, and control group. A sample of 46 pregnant women in the third trimester at the Sukamakmur Health Center was selected using purposive sampling and divided into two groups: an intervention group (listening to murottal Al-Qur’an Surah Maryam for 25-30 minutes every day for 2 weeks) and a control group (no intervention). Anxiety levels were measured using the HRS-A questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data analysis employed the Wilcoxon test for within-group differences and the Mann-Whitney test for between-group differences. Results: The results of the bivariate analysis revealed a significant difference in the average anxiety score between the intervention group before and after the intervention (p-value = 0.000), but there was no difference in the control group (p-value = 0.062). There was a difference in the average anxiety score between the intervention group and the control group in pregnant women (p-value = 0.013). Conclusion: Al-Quran murottal therapy is effective in reducing the level of anxiety in pregnant women in the third trimester in the Sukamakmur Health Center work area.It is recommended for health workers to integrate murottal therapy into antenatal services, as well as educate pregnant women about the benefits of murottal treatment as an independent effort to reduce anxiety during pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is a common health problem among children and can lead to dehydration and even death if not managed properly. In addition to medical treatment, natural therapies such as honey administration have the potential to accelerate recovery. Honey is known to have antimicrobial properties and can help restore fluid and electrolyte balance. Purpose: to describe nursing care for children with diarrhea who were given honey as a complementary therapy as part of independent nursing interventions. Method: This research uses a case study approach with a sample of two pediatric patients experiencing diarrhea. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation review. The nursing care process included assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation, with a focus on the administration of honey over a period of three days, given three times a day in the morning, afternoon, and evening at a dose of 2.5 ml each time. Result: After three days of honey administration, both patients showed improvement in the severity of diarrhea. Initially, both were categorized as having severe diarrhea. Following the intervention, their condition improved to mild diarrhea. The frequency of bowel movements decreased from 7 and 6 times (pre-test) to 2 and 3 times (post-test), and stool consistency changed from watery to solid. Conclusion: Honey therapy has been proven to help accelerate the healing process in children with diarrhea. This intervention can serve as a safe and easily applied alternative for independent nursing care

Abstract

Background: Children are individuals under the age of 18, including those still in the womb, and who are not yet married. Motor delays in children are a serious problem that can have long-term effects on their physical and mental development. Coloring therapy can help improve understanding and memory in children. Fine motor skills are necessary for daily life, involving control and coordination of the small muscles in the hands and fingers. These skills include activities such as writing, drawing, cutting with scissors, and buttoning clothes. Purpose: To determine the implementation of coloring therapy on fine motor development in children.  Method: A descriptive design using case study analysis and a case study approach to describe the results of nursing care on the implementation of coloring therapy on fine motor development in children. Results: The results of implementing coloring therapy on fine motor development in children show the results of coloring therapy intervention on fine motor development in children that have been studied. Conclusion: Children's fine motor skills are also influenced by stimulation. Interviews with parents and teachers revealed that parents never provided stimulation for their children's fine motor development at home and allowed their children to play as they pleased. Suggestion: It is hoped that this study will broaden the insight and increase the knowledge of parents and children regarding the importance of fine motor skills in children.

Abstract

Background: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects people of all ages. In children, epilepsy can have a significant impact on various aspects of life, including cognitive, emotional, and social development. Infants who experience recurrent seizures are at higher risk of developmental delays as well as social and emotional problems as they grow. Purpose: To describe the application of nursing care in an infant (Baby E) with epilepsy. Method: This study employed a case study design, starting from assessment to evaluation of nursing care in Alamanda Ward, Abdoel Moelok Hospital, Lampung, in August 2025. Nursing care was provided to the patient for three days. Result: Baby E experienced three nursing problems: ineffective airway clearance, risk of ineffective cerebral perfusion, and risk of injury. The interventions were carried out for three days based on the Indonesian Nursing Intervention Standards, including observational, therapeutic, educational, and collaborative actions. Conclusion: After three days of nursing care, the problems of ineffective airway clearance and risk of injury were resolved. However, the problem of risk of ineffective cerebral perfusion was not fully resolved, indicating the need for continued monitoring and regular epilepsy therapy, as the child remains diagnosed with epilepsy.
