Abstract

Background: Concentration is an important aspect in a child's learning process. A child's ability to focus on a task or lesson material optimally will greatly influence the understanding and learning outcomes achieved. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of Brain Gym  PACE on the concentration of children in grades V-VI. Methods: The research design was used a pre-experimental method using one group pre-test and post-test design. The population of this study were students of grades V-VI of SD Muhammadiyah 1 Babat with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sample was selected using stratified random sampling with a sample size of 76 children. The instruments used were the Army Alpha Intelligence Test questionnaire and SOP Brain Gym  PACE. The intervention was given for 10 minutes a day, 3 times for 3 days. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. Results: Based on the results of the Wilcoxon statistics, a significance value of p = <0.001 (p < 0.05) was obtained, which means that there is an influence of Brain Gym on learning concentration. Conclusion: These findings suggest that Brain Gym PACE has a positive effect on improving children’s learning concentration. Educators are advised to implement Brain Gym PACE activities as part of their daily learning routine to support children’s focus and optimize the learning process. Further research is recommended to explore the wider application of Brain Gym across educational contexts and age groups.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that mostly occurs in the elderly and can cause serious complications such as stroke and heart disease. One factor that can help manage hypertension in the elderly is family support. This support plays a role in improving adherence to medication, maintaining a healthy diet, and reducing stress that can affect blood pressure. This study aims to examine the relationship between family support and blood pressure management in hypertensive elderly based on a literature review. Methods: This study used the literature review method with guidelines from Grove and Gray EBP. Articles were searched through Google Scholar, Ebsco, and Elsevier databases with the keywords "family support," "hypertension," and "elderly." Articles were screened using the PICOS Framework to ensure relevance to the research topic. Results: Analysing 10 articles that met the selection criteria, we found that good family support contributed to improved medication adherence, hypertension diet adherence, and improved quality of life for the elderly. The most influential forms of support include emotional, social, instrumental, and financial support. Conclusion: Family support plays a significant role in the management of blood pressure in hypertensive elderly. Elderly people who get emotional, social, instrumental, and financial support from their families show better blood pressure control and higher quality of life. Families can provide optimal support for the elderly with hypertension by offering emotional, informational, instrumental, and appreciation support to improve adherence to medication and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in changes in learning methods from face-to-face to online, which has an impact on increasing the academic stress of nursing students. Academic stress is the pressure experienced in the academic environment and is influenced by internal and external factors.  This study aims to identify factors associated with nursing students' academic stress levels during online lectures in the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: The research approach was quantitative with correlational analytic design and cross-sectional method. The research sample was selected by random sampling, involving 256 respondents. Data were collected using a Likert scale-based questionnaire and analysed with Chi-Square and Kendall's Tau statistical tests.   Results: Gender has no relationship to the level of academic stress of nursing students (p = 0.164); while procrastination is related to the level of academic stress with a moderate correlation and positive relationship direction (p = <0.001; r = 0.285). In addition, parental social support also affects the level of academic stress with a moderate correlation and negative relationship direction (p = <0.001; r = 0.329).  Conclusion: Factors associated with academic stress levels of nursing students are procrastination and parental social support.

Abstract

Background: Hypothermia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates, contributing to complications such as hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, hypoxia, growth disturbances, bleeding, shock, and apnea. One effective prevention method is Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD). This study analyzes the effectiveness of IMD in preventing hypothermia in neonates.  Methods: This literature review used the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) approach. Eleven journals from Elsevier, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, PubMed, and Wiley Online Library, published between 2019 and 2023, were reviewed.  Results: The analysis showed that IMD was effective in increasing neonatal body temperature with an average increase of 0.55°C. All journals reviewed concluded that IMD plays a significant role in maintaining the stability of infant body temperature and preventing hypothermia with a p value <0.05.  Conclusion: IMD is effective in preventing hypothermia, enhancing breast milk production, promoting bonding between mother and baby, and strengthening the baby’s immune system. IMD should be initiated as soon as possible after birth, with a minimum duration of 60 minutes, to prevent hypothermia.
