Children feel hopeless, protest, uncooperative, and depressed. Children who are sick and have to be hospitalized will have a difficult time because they cannot carry out their habits. The environment and unfamiliar people, care, and various procedures that children undergo are the main sources of stress, disappointment, and anxiety. If not treated immediately, the impact of hospitalization will affect psychosocial development, especially in children. The research aimed to determine the effect of touch and talk therapy on reducing anxiety in hospitalized children in the children's care room at RA Basoeni Regional Hospital, Mojokerto Regency. The design used Pre-Experimental with one Group Pre-Post Test approach. The population in this study were all children who were hospitalized in the children's care room at RA Basoeni Regional Hospital. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, obtaining a sample of 27 respondents. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon signed Ranks test. The instrument used the modified DASS-14 anxiety questionnaire. Touch and talk therapy influences the anxiety level of hospitalized children in the children's care room at RA Basoeni Regional Hospital, Mojokerto. Touch and talk therapy involves touching the child while providing motivation or telling stories to create a relaxed and comfortable condition. Children feel happy and there is a diversion of attention which makes them happy, thereby reducing anxiety in children undergoing hospitalization.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":511771,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ners dan Kebidanan (Journal of Ners and Midwifery)","volume":"21 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140515397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, pain management treatment for gout arthritis patients focuses on pharmacological treatment by providing analgesics to relieve pain. Soursop leaf extract has been proven to have an effect in reducing pain, but there has been no research regarding the effect of boiled soursop leaves to reduce it. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of giving soursop leaf decoction on reducing pain in gout arthritis patients. The research used a quasi-experimental design with a one group pre-posttest design. The sample selected by using purposive sampling technique, totaling 18 people. The independent variable was soursop leaf decoction. The dependent variable was the pain in gout arthritis. The data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test statistical test. The compounds contained in soursop leaves function as a strong analgesic (pain reliever) and have antioxidant properties. The antioxidant properties contained in soursop leaves can reduce the formation of uric acid by inhibiting the production of the enzyme xanthine oxidase. This combination of analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties can reduce gout. This study found that there was an effect of giving soursop leaf decoction on reducing pain in gout arthritis patients.","PeriodicalId":511771,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ners dan Kebidanan (Journal of Ners and Midwifery)","volume":"5 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140515462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
