Abstract

Background: Gadgets are modern communication tools designed with advanced technology to facilitate communication. Prolonged use of gadgets can lead to excessive load on the cervical spine, resulting in neck pain. Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of gadget usage duration on neck pain complaints among students of the Physiotherapy Department at Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta.  Methods: This research employed a comparative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 212 active students from the Physiotherapy Department at Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta were selected through an online questionnaire. The variables examined included daily gadget usage duration and the level of neck pain, measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test.  Results: The findings showed that the majority of respondents used gadgets for more than 6 hours per day (117 respondents), and most reported mild neck pain (138 respondents). However, the Chi-square test produced a p-value of 0.941 (p > 0.05), indicating that there was no significant relationship between gadget usage duration and neck pain complaints among the physiotherapy students. Although neck pain complaints were more commonly found among respondents with longer gadget use duration, the relationship was not statistically proven. Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be concluded that the duration of gadget use does not affect the frequency level of neck pain complaints among students of the Physiotherapy Department at Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta. Keywords : Gadget, Usage duration, Neck pain, Students, Physiotherapy

Abstract

Background: Schizophrenia is a functional psychotic condition with major disturbances in thought processes and disharmony (disruption, fragmentation) between thought processes, affect/emotions, volition, and psychomotor activity accompanied by distortions of reality, particularly due to delusions and hallucinations; fragmented associations resulting in incoherence. This condition has the potential to lower self-efficacy in patients, leading to maladaptive coping. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be provided is art therapy (collage). Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of art therapy (collage) on self-efficacy in schizophrenia patients at Dr. Radjiman Wediodiningrat Hospital. Methods: This study is a quantitative pre-experimental design (one group pretest posttest) with a sampling technique using purposive sampling of 24 samples. Self-efficacy was measured using the Indonesian version of the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE). Data analysis techniques used paired sample t-test comparative analysis. Results: The results showed that the distribution based on gender was dominated by male samples (66.7%), based on age it was dominated by the late adult category (41.7%), based on diagnosis it was dominated by F.20.1 samples (Hebephrenic Schizophrenia) (70.8%), based on education level, it was dominated by junior high school graduates (45.8%), based on occupation, it was dominated by working samples (91.7%), and based on marital status, it was dominated by unmarried samples (62.5%). There was an average difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of 2.79. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a Sig.2 tailed value of 0.000 (p-value<0.05), so the hypothesis was accepted. Conclusion: Art therapy (collage) activities have an effect on the self-efficacy of schizophrenia patients at Dr. Radjiman Wediodiningrat Mental Hospital. Keywords: Art therapy (collage), Self-efficacy, Schizophrenia

Abstract

Background: Voice problems, also called dysphonia, are a common sign in people who have COVID-19. Despite this, it is often underestimated as it is a relatively less frequent and life-threatening symptom. These changes are called vocal functional changes. Most of them happen because of the immune system's response after an infection. This then causes the voice to not work as well. Objectives: This research aims to learn how often voice issues linked to COVID happen across the globe. It also checks for possible things that make these issues more likely, both when sick and later on. The purpose is to give ideas for better ways to care for people. Methods: This research design uses a systematic literature review, the selected studies are in the period 2020-2025. Research data was searched from databases, including: PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar. By using the search keywords (“COVID-19” OR “SARS-CoV-2”) AND (“voice impairment” OR ‘dysphonia’ OR "aphonia). Results: It was found that dysphonia is a common and significant symptom in COVID-19 patients, with multifactorial causes including laryngeal inflammation, mechanical trauma, and neurological disorders. Conclusion: The prevalence of dysphonia varies depending on the severity of the disease and the presence of risk factors such as gender or smoking habits. Keywords: Coronavirus disease; Covid-19 patients; Dysphonia, Vocal symptoms, Voice quality.

Abstract

Background: Elderly individuals with stroke risk factors increasingly experience hyperglycemia, while structured physical activity such as low-impact aerobic exercise remains underutilized as a strategy to control fasting blood glucose levels. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on fasting blood glucose reduction in elderly individuals with stroke risk factors. Methods: The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest approach. The study involved 20 elderly participants at Posbindu Kenanga, divided into an intervention group (aerobic exercise) and a control group (dietary education). The aerobic exercise was conducted three times a week for four weeks. Data were collected through fasting blood glucose measurements before and after the intervention using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. Results: This study showed that the mean fasting blood glucose level in the intervention group significantly decreased from 125.7 mg/dL to 104.4 mg/dL (p = 0.004). In contrast, the control group exhibited a slight increase from 133.9 mg/dL to 134 mg/dL (p = 0.934). The intergroup comparison revealed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant effect of aerobic exercise on fasting blood glucose reduction compared to the control group. Conclusions: This study concludes that aerobic exercise effectively reduces fasting blood glucose levels in elderly individuals at risk of stroke. Physical activity, such as aerobic exercise, improves insulin receptor sensitivity and enhances glucose utilization by active muscles, contributing to reduced blood glucose levels. Structured physical exercise and education are recommended as preventive strategies for managing stroke risk in elderly populations.

Abstract

Background: Developmental Language Disorder is an internationally recognized diagnostic term for people who have difficulty understanding and using language. The diagnostic criteria relate to lifelong difficulties that have a functional impact on daily life and cannot be explained by biomedical conditions (e.g., Autism, Deaf/Hard of Hearing). The term 'developmental' refers to the fact that the disorder is present from childhood, rather than being an acquired condition (Bishop et al., 2017). Objectives: To analyze pragmatic abilities in children with DLD and learning materials for scientific research writing, while also providing additional information regarding pragmatic abilities in children with DLD. Methods: This study is a systematic review. This study used data from previous studies. This quantitative systematic review combined the findings of various independent studies and produced a statistical summary of the findings (Last, 2001 in Murti, 2018). Results: Children with DLD exhibit intellectual difficulties that are intertwined with language problems, with cognitive abilities being the primary component of communication. Conclusion: Semantic-pragmatic communication skills constitute the core impairment in the narratives of children with DLD. Pragmatic difficulties and deficits in global executive function are present compared to children with typical development. Keywords: Pragmatic Language, DLD, Systematic review

Abstract

Background: Narrative analysis serves as a fundamental component in assessing language proficiency. From a Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) perspective, gender is considered a potential influencing factor on an individual's narrative profile, particularly affecting speech output and syntactic complexity. This study compared the narrative skills of adult male and female participants.Objectives: This research aims to analyze and compare the narrative skills of adult male and female participants by examining output quantity, syntactic complexity, and vocabulary usage in stories generated from the wordless picture book Frog, Where Are You?. Methods: This study utilized a descriptive qualitative approach with a comparative case study design. It involved two adult participants, one male and one female, both aged 34. Narrative data was collected using the wordless picture book "Frog, Where Are You?" and subsequently analyzed based on several parameters: the number and type of sentences, the frequency of borrowed vocabulary, and the use of narrative elements such as sound effects and embedded dialogue. Results: The findings reveal distinct narrative profiles. The male participant produces a higher quantity of output, which is dominated by simple sentences and features a high frequency of borrowed vocabulary and sound effects. Conversely, the female participant generates less output but demonstrates significantly greater syntactic complexity, employing more compound and complex sentences while using minimal borrowed vocabulary. Conclusion: This study concludes that clear differences exist in narrative profiles based on gender among adults. The male participant exhibits a report-oriented style emphasizing quantity, while the female participant demonstrates a rapport-oriented style characterized by superior syntactic complexity. These findings underscore the importance of considering gender as a variable in language assessments within speech-language pathology.   Keywords: Narrative Skills, Syntactic Complexity, Gender, Language Assessment, Frog Story

Abstract

Background: Lower limb amputation leads to a substantial decline in physical, psychological, and social function, all of which negatively affect an individual’s quality of life (QoL). The use of lower limb prostheses serves as a crucial rehabilitative intervention designed to restore mobility, independence, and psychosocial well-being. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of lower limb prosthesis use on the quality of life of patients with lower limb amputation. Methods: This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 30 participants with lower limb amputations residing in the Soloraya region, Indonesia, from January to February 2025. Data were collected using the Orthotics and Prosthetics Users’ Survey (OPUS) QoL subscale, which assesses four domains—physical, psychological, social, and environmental. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test for normality, the Pearson product–moment correlation, and simple linear regression.Results: The data were normally distributed (p > 0.05). A strong positive correlation was observed between the duration of prosthesis use and QoL (r = 0.755, p < 0.001). Simple linear regression revealed that prosthesis use contributed to 57.0% of the variance in QoL among amputees. Conclusion: The use of lower limb prostheses significantly improves the quality of life in individuals following lower limb amputation. Sustainable rehabilitative interventions, continuous user education, and equitable access to orthotic– prosthetic services are essential to optimize patient adaptation and long-term well-being.
