Abstract

Background: Cancer remains a major global health issue, with approximately 400.000 children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer each year worldwide. Anxiety is one of the most common psychological responses experienced by children undergoing chemotherapy, which may affect treatment cooperation and quality of life. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of psycho-educational therapy on anxiety levels in children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: This study used a pre-experimental study one-group pretest–posttest design conducted at the YKAKI (Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia) in Semarang Halfway House from May to June 2023. A total of 25 children diagnosed with leukemia and undergoing chemotherapy were recruited using total sampling. Data were collected using respondent characteristic observation sheets and the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) to measure anxiety levels. The psycho-educational therapy consisted of four sessions, including education about cancer and chemotherapy, prevention and management of chemotherapy side effects, and stress management techniques. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Commission of the Faculty of Medicine, Sultan Agung University. Results: Before the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced severe anxiety (44%). After the intervention, most respondents experienced mild anxiety (72%).  The mean anxiety score decreased from 2.24 ± 0.77 before the intervention to 1.32 ± 0.55 after the intervention, indicating a significant reduction of 0.92 points (41.1%) after the intervention (p = 0.001). Conclusion: This study indicates a potential benefit of psycho-educational therapy in reducing anxiety. This intervention may be considered a supportive psychological strategy to help reduce anxiety in children undergoing chemotherapy.

Abstract

Background: Constipation is a prevalent health problem in infants. It is a condition in which infants have difficulty defecating, bowel movements ≤ 3 times a week, and hard and large feces. In Indonesia, the prevalence of constipation in infants is 15.7%, and it needs to be treated appropriately. The effects of constipation are classified into two categories: short-term and long-term. Short-term effects can manifest as discomfort in infants, anorexia, and lack of weight gain. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as pediatric massage therapy, are effective management strategies for infant constipation. Methods: This study employed a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with 38 formula-fed constipation infants aged 6-12 months. The pediatric massage therapy intervention, three times a week, was assessed before and after using the Bristol Stool Chart questionnaire. Results: Based on the statistical analysis of 38 respondents (n = 38), a Z value of −5.42 was obtained with a p value (ρ) = 0.000. This result indicates a highly significant statistical difference/relationship (p < 0.05), so the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted. Conclusion: Pediatric massage therapy is an effective complementary therapy for managing constipation in formula-fed infants aged 6-12 months at the Puskesmas Sungai Besar, Ketapang Regency

Abstract

Background: Cognitive development is a crucial component of early childhood education, as it significantly influences children’s ability to think, reason, and solve problems in daily life. However, cognitive development among children aged 5–6 years in preschool settings has not yet reached optimal levels across several developmental indicators. Method: This study employed a quantitative descriptive design and was conducted at Pambudi Bhakti Turirejo Kindergarten, Demak. The participants included 61 children aged 5–6 years, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through direct observation using the Pre-Screening Development Questionnaire (KPSP) and analyzed descriptively using frequencies and percentages. Ethical approval was obtained under EC number 052/KEPK/UNPRI/II/2025. Result: Most participants were aged 6 years (72.1%). The findings revealed that 60.7% of children were categorized as having doubtful cognitive development, 24.6% demonstrated appropriate cognitive development, and 14.8% were classified as deviant. Conclusion: The results indicate that the majority of children require more optimal cognitive stimulation. Therefore, the implementation of creative and child-centered learning strategies, including play-based learning, effective teacher–child interaction, and a supportive learning environment, is essential to enhance children’s cognitive development in preschool education.
