Abstract

Background: Migrant students often experience culture shock when entering a new environment. This occurs because of the reaction in finding cultural differences that have been adhered to. The effect can potentially experience difficulties in adjusting such as lack of interaction, having negative prejudices, and sometimes causing stress. Culture shock can be overcome if a person is able to adapt and adjust to the culture where the individual is. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between culture shock and the adjustment of migrant students in the Occupational Therapy Department of the Ministry of Health Polytechnic of Surakarta Class of 2024. Methods: This type of research is cross-sectional. The sample selection technique used purposive sampling where there are special criteria in selecting the sample, namely Occupational Therapy Department students class of 2024 who come from outside Central Java. Furthermore, students were given a google form link containing a culture shock questionnaire consisting of 54 items and an adjustment questionnaire consisting of 30 items. The total number of respondents obtained was 78 students. Hypothesis testing used product moment correlation. Results: Showed that respondents were predominantly female, namely 66 respondents (84.6%), coming from East Java, namely 32 respondents (41%). Based on the product moment regression analysis, the value of r = -0.643 was obtained, which means there is a significant negative relationship between the culture shock variable and the student's self-adjustment variable with a p value = 0.000 (p <0.05) with an effective contribution of 41.34% and 58.65% from other factors. Conclusion: There is a negative relationship between culture shock and the self-adjustment of migrant students, where the higher the level of culture shock of migrant students, the lower the level of their adjustment and the lower the level of culture shock of migrant students, the higher the level of their adjustment. Keywords: Culture Shock, Adjustment, Out-of-Town Students, New Students

Abstract

Background: Hearing loss is the partial or complete loss of the ability to hear sound in one or both ears. The problem of hearingimpaired children is a communication problem, their inability to communicate has a wide impact, both on language skills, reading, writing and social adaptation and academic potential. Articulation disorders are disorders that arise due to the formation of speech sound errors reviewed from location, force, speed, time, and pressure. Duration includes an overview of how long an individual spends time on various purposes. This means that the duration of therapy can be measured through how long the therapist spends in conducting the therapy program. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of the duration of speech therapy intervention on improving articulation in children with hearing impairment in SLB YRTRW Surakarta. Methods: This study is a quantitative study. The research design was carried out by experimental method, namely a two-group pretest-post test design. The sampling technique in this study is the total sampling and the number of samples taken by 10 respondents. The data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate analysis. The statistical test used is Mann-Whitney. Results: This study received a p-value of .011 which means that this value is smaller than p = 0.05 so it can be concluded that there is a real difference between the results of the post-test of 30 and 45 minutes of therapy, so that the duration of 45 minutes of therapy is more influential than 30 minutes in improving articulation in hearing impaired children. Conclusion: The longer the duration of the intervention given, the more likely it is to have the potential to improve the articulation of hearing impairment children. Keywords: Articulation, Duration of Intervention, Hearing Impairment

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global public health problem with an increasing prevalence among young adults. Nursing students, as future health professionals, have a strategic role in T2DM prevention; therefore, assessing their risk from a public health perspective is essential. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the risk of T2DM among nursing students and to compare the risk between early- and final-year students. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed involving 114 respondents equally divided into two groups. T2DM risk was assessed using the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC). Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney test. Results: The results showed that the mean T2DM risk score among early-year students was 4.16 ± 2.67, while among final-year students it was 3.96 ± 3.05 (p = 0.494), indicating no significant difference between the groups. Most respondents were classified as having a low risk. Conclusion: These findings suggest that T2DM risk among nursing students is relatively low and homogeneous, highlighting the importance of early risk screening, healthy lifestyle education, and promotive–preventive interventions as part of public health strategies. Keywords: Diabetes risk, FINDRISC, Nursing students, Public health, Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Background: Falls are a major health problem among older adults and contribute to injury, functional decline, and reduced quality of life. Balance impairment is one of the primary factors associated with fall risk. Early balance screening at the community level is essential to identify older adults at risk and to inform fall prevention strategies. Objectives: This study aimed to describe balance performance and fall risk among older adults in Tohudan Village. Methods: A descriptive observational cross-sectional study was conducted involving 60 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥50 years. Balance performance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize participant characteristics and balance scores. Results: The mean age of participants was 64.97±6.50 years, with a mean BBS score of 45.95±2.46. Most participants demonstrated good to moderate balance, although several individuals scored near the fall-risk threshold. Conclusion: Older adults in Tohudan Village generally exhibit adequate balance; however, routine balance screening remains necessary to identify individuals at higher risk of falls and to support community-based preventive interventions. Keywords : Older Adults, Balance, Fall Risk, Berg Balance Scale.

Abstract

Background: Inclusive education in Indonesia continues to face challenges, particularly in meeting the needs of children with special needs. Evidence indicates that difficulties in visual–motor integration (VMI), visual perception (VP), and motor coordination (MC) are closely associated with poor academic performance in reading, writing, and mathematics. Activity-based visual–motor interventions have shown promising outcomes. Objectives: Therefore, this study examines the effectiveness of the Visual Motor Ability Enhancement Program (VMAEP) in improving VMI, VP, and MC among children with special needs. Methods: This research employed a pre-experimental design with a pre test–post test approach. The study sample consisted of 20 children with special needs at Kamila GIS Lazuardi, recruited using a constitutive sampling technique. All participants received the VMAEP intervention and were assessed using the Beery VMI (Beery–Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual–Motor Integration). Measurements were conducted twice, before and after the intervention. Results: A total of 20 children aged 4–14 years participated in this study. The mean VMI score changed by 0.43, while visual perception (VP) increased by 5.78 and motor coordination (MC) improved by 3.79. All p-values were < 0.05, indicating statistically significant effects. Cohen’s d analysis demonstrated a small-to-moderate effect on VMI (0.41), a large effect on VP (1.05), and a very large effect on MC (1.59). Conclusion: The findings indicated not only significant effects of VMAEP on VMI, VP, and MC among children with special needs, but also clinically meaningful effect sizes.

Abstract

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that is often accompanied by self-concept problems, one of which is low self-esteem. Occupational therapy through handicraft activities is one of the non-pharmacological interventions that can increase a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem. Objectives: This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of occupational therapy intervention in the form of handicraft activities on increasing self-esteem in schizophrenia patients. Methods: This study used a quantitative design with a one-group pre-test post-test method. The sample consisted of 22 participants, selected based on purposive sampling. The instrument used to measure self-esteem was the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The handicraft activity intervention was given in eight sessions. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. Results: This study shows an increase in self-esteem scores after the handicraft intervention, as indicated by a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). This indicates that the handicraft intervention has an effect on increasing self- esteem in schizophrenia patients. Conclusion: Handicraft intervention is one of the effective non-pharmacological interventions to increase self-esteem scores in schizophrenia patients. There was a significant increase in patients aged 26-35 years and in male patients compared to female patients. This intervention can be recommended for occupational therapists in mental health facilities and can be used as a reference for further research.

Abstract

Background: Declines in balance ability and mobility are major factors that increase the risk of falls and reduce independence among community-dwelling older adults. Exercise programs targeting balance strategy exercises can improve postural control, while occupational therapy–based home programs help translate these improvements into meaningful daily activities. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of balance strategy exercises combined with an occupational therapy–based home program on functional mobility among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design involving 48 older adults living in RW VIII, Kemiri Village, Kebakkramat, Karanganyar. Functional mobility was measured using the Four Square Step Test. The intervention consisted of three stages of balance strategy exercises, including ankle strategy exercises, hip strategy exercises, and stepping strategy exercises, combined with an occupational therapy–based home program delivered according to a structured intervention module. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test after the normality assumption was confirmed using the Shapiro–Wilk test. Results: The results of the paired t-test indicated a significant difference before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). An improvement in Four Square Step Test scores was observed following the balance strategy exercise and occupational therapy–based home program intervention, with a mean difference of 1.372. The combined intervention significantly improved functional mobility among older adults (p = 0.000). Most participants belonged to the elderly age group (76%), and 80% of the participants were female. Conclusion: The findings indicate that balance strategy exercises combined with an occupational therapy–based home program have a significant effect on improving functional mobility among community-dwelling older adults. Keywords: Balance Strategy Exercise, Occupational Therapy, Home Program, Functional Mobility, Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
