Abstract

Background: The transition from one school to another marks a critical phase in a student’s educational journey. The transition from elementary school to high school can be challenging as it is a significant milestone in adolescent development. During this period, students experience a variety of physical, emotional, and social changes along with new environments, friendships, and increased academic demands. This can also lead to anxiety and stress in adolescents. Anxiety and stress are mental health conditions that can negatively impact a person's emotional, cognitive, and social functioning. A 2022 study by the Indonesian Adolescent Mental Health Survey found that anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problem among adolescents, affecting 3.7% of the population. Purpose: To determine the impact of anxiety and stress on the readiness among students after new student orientation programs. Method: This study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted from July to October at Telkom junior high school, Purwokerto.  The population of the study was 210 seventh grade students, but the sample was selected using simple random sampling so that the sample used was 114 respondents. The sample inclusion criteria included students who participated in the school environment introduction program, had a mobile phone, and were in good physical health, while the exclusion criteria were students in grades VIII and IX and students who did not participate in the school environment introduction program. The independent variables in this study are anxiety and stress, while the dependent variable is the school readiness of respondents after the school environment introduction program.The research instrument used was the DASS 42 questionnaire consisting of 28 items to measure the level of anxiety and stress experienced by respondents.. Results: The average age of respondents was 12.219 years with a standard deviation of 0.475 in the age range of 11-13 years as many as 83 respondents (72.8%) and the majority were male as many as 70 respondents (61.4%). the Spearman correlation coefficient of -0.516 with a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000, this indicates a significant negative correlation between anxiety levels and students' readiness to go to school. Conversely, the Spearman correlation coefficient for stress levels with students' readiness to go to school after the school environment introduction activity is -0.996 with a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000, this also indicates a significant negative correlation between stress and school readiness. Conclusion: There is a strong negative correlation between anxiety and stress levels and students' readiness for school after being introduced to the school environment. This suggests that lower stress levels are associated with higher readiness for school. Conversely, higher stress levels are associated with lower readiness for school.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia's 2016 health profile shows that the percentage of households with access to drinking water and potable water in Central Java Province is 75.88%, leaving 24.2% of the population without adequate drinking water sources. High concentrations of total Coliform are an indicator of pathogenic contamination that can lead to the spread of waterborne diseases. Contamination from E. coli and coliform bacteria in clean water sources can cause diarrhea if consumed. Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of the chlorine diffuser method combined with black sand in reducing Coliform and Escherichia coli levels in clean water. Method: A quantitative descriptive approach with a quasi-experimental design. Samples were collected four times over a ten-day period, with bacterial levels measured before and after treatment at intervals of 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes. The study utilized a chlorine diffuser as the primary research instrument. Data collection methods included direct observation and the compilation of both primary and secondary data. Laboratory testing of the samples was performed using the compact dry method, followed by univariate analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the chlorine diffuser in reducing coliform bacteria in groundwater wells. Results: Univariate analysis showed that before treatment, the coliform bacteria level was 60 CFU/100 ml. After treatment, the levels were 40 CFU/100 ml after 30 minutes, 45 CFU/100 ml after 45 minutes, and 40 CFU/100 ml after 60 minutes of contact time. For E. coli, the bacteria level before treatment was 3 CFU/100 ml. After treatment, it was 0 CFU/100 ml with 30 minutes of contact, 1 CFU/100 ml with 45 minutes of contact, and 1 CFU/100 ml with 60 minutes of contact. Bivariate analysis showed a significant difference in Coliform levels based on treatment duration, with a significance value of 0.014. However, no significant difference was observed in E. coli levels, with a significance value of 0.168. Conclusion: The combination of the chlorine diffuser method and black sand effectively reduced coliform bacteria levels to meet environmental health standards. However, this method was less effective in eliminating Escherichia coli within the same treatment duration.

Abstract

Background: The intra-hospital transfer process is the transfer of patients while being treated in hospital from one service or from one inpatient unit to various other service units.Transfer is the transfer of a patient within the same facility for diagnostic procedures or transfer to another room to receive additional treatment. Purpose: This literature review aims to review previous research regarding the relationship between the level of knowledge, documentation and communication of nurses with the intra-hospital transfer process. Method: This literature review uses electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Wiley Online Library, and Springer Link, which are journals published for the period 2016 to 2023. Articles were filtered using prism diagram rules, the keywords used in the literature search were "patient transfer" AND “intra-hospital” OR “intra-hospital patient transfer”. Results: There were 9 pieces of appropriate literature, which were then analyzed and the results showed that the importance of the role of nurses in patient safety during the transfer phase of patient care includes policies, clinical processes, quality of information, accuracy and coordination of nurses, doctors and other staff in filling out transfer forms and communication in internal so that it can affect quality in terms of accuracy. Conclusion: Implementation of a good transfer process is influenced by several factors, including pre-transfer preparation and stabilization, knowledge and skills of transfer accompanying nurses, necessary equipment and monitoring, patient documentation and handover, effective communication and having transfer guidelines. The patient transfer process can run smoothly, but poor implementation of nurses' knowledge, documentation and communication regarding patient transfers can hamper the transfer process which can result in morbidity, mortality and patient safety incidents. Suggestion: The transfer process can threaten patient safety, this is because the transfer situation is prone to incidents due to the duration of the transfer, severity of illness, lack of experience of accompanying health workers, and communication gaps. So effective communication, collaboration, standardization and implementing appropriate care are needed. This emphasizes the important role of nurses in patient safety during the transfer phase of patient care.
