Exploring Occupational Therapy in the Punk Community: A Qualitative-Ethnographic Study
type: item
description: Background: The punk community is a subculture that is often viewed as contrary to the dominant culture. Society often misunderstands this community, constructing it as a negative and marginalized group. Occupational therapy strives to be more diverse, fair, and inclusive in order to strengthen practitioners' contributions to healthy and engaged communities. This study aims to explore the forms and meanings of occupation in the punk community through an occupational perspective. Methods: This study uses qualitative methods with an ethnographic approach. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis used ethnographic thematic methods, while data validity was tested through source triangulation. Results: Thematic ethnographic analysis produced two main themes related to the exploration of occupation in the punk community. The first theme concerns the forms of occupation in the punk community, which include anti-mainstream, egalitarian, and DIY (Do-It-Yourself) aspects. The second theme discusses the meaning of occupation in the punk community, which includes working as a means of survival, occupation as self-expression, occupation as a form of contribution and concern for others, and participation in occupation to improve welfare and a sense of belonging. Conclusion: The forms and meanings of occupation in the punk community are very different from those in society at large. The beliefs and environment of the punk community shape unique occupational choices compared to the wider community. The results of this study emphasize the importance of expanding the scope of occupational therapy practices to be more inclusive.

Parenting Experiences in Shaping Sleep Routines for Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): A Phenomenological Study
type: item
description: Background: Parenting styles influence sleep routines and problems in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); sleep quality includes efficiency, latency, duration, and wakefulness after onset. This study explores the experience of implementing bedtime routines based on caregiver parenting styles and their implications for the sleep quality of children with ADHD. Methods: Qualitative study with a phenomenological approach; non-probability sampling (purposive sampling). Participants consisted of 8 caregivers (mothers, aunts, grandmothers) of children with ADHD at YPAC Surakarta; semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted 2–3 times per participant and analyzed thematically with credibility and confirmability tests. Results: Three main themes emerged: (1) Caregiver parenting styles (implementation and influence on sleep), (2) Types of parenting styles based on Baumrind's aspects, (3) Sleep quality of children with ADHD (sleep quality, sleep problems, supporting factors). Authoritarian parenting was linked to a stable sleep schedule but had no impact on efficiency; democratic parenting influenced emotional regulation; permissive parenting had no apparent effect on sleep quality; neglectful parenting was associated with sleep-onset insomnia without a clear cause. Conclusion: Variations in parenting styles result in different profiles of impact on sleep quality indicators. Education and harmonization of parenting styles are recommended in pediatric occupational therapy services.

Understanding Social Participation in Post-stroke Patients: A Phenomenological Study
type: item
description: Background: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Post-stroke patients experience various physical and mental problems. This has a significant impact on the patient’s life, affecting their ability to perform daily activities and participate in community social activities. As many as 50% of post-stroke patients still experience problems with social participation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the social participation of patients after experiencing a stroke. Methods: This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach conducted at RSUD by Dr. Soedono Madiun. Data collection was carried out through interviews and documentation of 6 patients who had a stroke for at least 4 months which were included in the purposive sampling criteria. Results: From the thematic analysis that has been carried out, there are three themes regarding the social participation of post-stroke patients: (1) social participation of post-stroke patients, consisting of continuity in social activities, decreased activity, and socialization limitation; (2) social participation barriers, consisting of internal factors and external factors; and (3) coping strategies, consisting of physical recovery, staying connected, and social support. Conclusion: Post-stroke patients experience changes in social participation, they find it difficult to get involved in various social activities due to various barriers from within themselves and their environment. Recommendations for future research are to consider variables that exist as a consideration of research results, such as environmental conditions, stroke severity, gender, and so on.

Correlation Between Physical Activity and Musculoskeletal Disorders Among the Elderly
type: item
description: Background: Engaging in physical activity helps prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) in the elderly, which affect both soft and hard supporting tissues of the limbs. Low physical activity levels in older adults often lead to MSD complaints, especially in the lower back, knees, shoulders, and hands. This study aims to evaluate the correlation of physical activity in the incidence of MSDs among the elderly. Methods: This study employed analytical observational research with a cross-sectional design and purposive sampling technique. The participants consisted of 50 older adults aged 60 and above. The research utilized the Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) to assess physical activity, while musculoskeletal disorders were evaluated using the Nordic Body Map (NBM). Data analysis was performed using the Spearman rank statistical test, facilitated by SPSS version 23 software. Results: The findings showed a notable relationship between physical activity and the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders in older adults, yielding a p-value of <0.001 and a correlation coefficient of -0.474, indicating a moderate level of strength. This means that the lower a person's level of physical activity, the higher the degree of Musculoskeletal Disorder complaints. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a significant correlation between low levels of physical activity and the prevalence and severity of MSDs among older adults at the Arum Sari Health Post. The findings emphasize the need to raise public awareness and investigate additional risk factors to enhance the prevention and management of MSDs in the elderly.

Effect of Using Medial Arch Support on Foot Pain (Plantar Fasciitis) in Pregnant Women
type: item
description: Background: Pregnancy often causes physical and psychological discomfort, including foot pain or plantar fasciitis due to inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is worsened by increased body weight. Medial arch support is an orthotic device designed to relieve this pain by stabilizing the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. This study aims to examine the effect of using medial arch support in reducing foot pain (plantar fasciitis) in third-trimester pregnant women. Methods: This quantitative study used a quasi-experiment with a one-group pre-test and post-test design to examine the effect of medial arch support on foot pain in pregnant women. The study was conducted in Noborejo, Salatiga. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling and involved 20 pregnant women who often complained of foot pain in the 2-3 trimesters. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after a two-week intervention with medial arch support. Results: The Wilcoxon test results indicate a significant reduction in foot pain (p= <0.001, p < 0.05). The average pain score before the intervention was 7.9, which decreased to 4.5 after the use of medial arch support, reflecting a pain reduction of 43%. The average difference in pain level before and after the intervention was 3.4. Conclusion: Medial arch support significantly reduces foot pain (plantar fasciitis) in pregnant women. This intervention offers a practical solution to reduce discomfort and improve the quality of health of pregnant women. Further studies are needed on the long-term use of medial arch support in pregnancy.

Impact of Infant Massage on Weight Gain: A Study in Banjar District, South Kalimantan
type: item
description: Background: Underweight in children under five is still a significant health problem in many parts of the world, especially in developing countries. One such intervention that has gained cultural significance is infant massage, a traditional practice that promotes relaxation, improves digestion, and enhances weight gain. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of infant massage on weight gain in infants under 24 months within Banjar Regency, a region where undernutrition presents a significant public health issue. While infant massage is traditionally practiced and believed to benefit infant health, its effectiveness remains debatable. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a control group involving 51 mother-infant pairs was employed. Participants were divided into an intervention group (n=17) that received infant massage training and performed it over three months and a control group (n=34) that received no such intervention. This research uses an observation form instrument. Infant weight gain was the primary outcome measure, with data analyzed using independent sample t-tests to assess differences between the two groups. Results: No statistically significant difference was found in weight gain between the intervention and control groups (t = -0.415, p = 0.680). However, descriptive data revealed that 88.2% of infants in the intervention group experienced weight gain compared to 85.3% in the control group, indicating a potential trend toward positive effects of infant massage. Conclusion: Despite the lack of statistical significance, the observed trend suggests potential benefits of infant massage. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer durations is recommended.

Cost of Illness: Stroke Patients with Medical Rehabilitation
type: item
description: Background: Cerebrovascular disease (ICD 10: I60–I69), is a medical condition that leads to limitations such as limited mobility and cognitive impairment. It is the most fatal disease in Indonesia. Medical rehabilitation has been clinically proven to be an effective strategy to minimize disability in stroke patients. Methods: This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The data source was obtained from BPJS Kesehatan sample data for 2022. The sample units for this study were all patients with a diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease. This study examined 3,528 patients, representative of a larger population of 339,707 patients. Results: In 2022, healthcare costs for stroke patients in Indonesia, covered by BPJS Kesehatan, varied widely from Rp 1,937,400 to Rp 207,675,700, averaging Rp 8,487,531 per person. BPJS Kesehatan's total spending on stroke treatment and rehab in 2022 was Rp 2,883,269,825,972. The productive age group constitutes the majority of stroke cases, comprising 68.9% of the total, with males representing the predominant gender at 54.5%. The biggest group benefiting from this were those receiving Beneficiary Contribution Assistance (PBI), making up 46.5% of all National Health Insurance participants. Conclusion: This study indicates that providing medical rehabilitation during the golden period yields greater efficiency compared to its absence. This recommendation extends beyond cost-saving measures, emphasizing a strategic investment in national welfare through the enhancement of individuals' quality of life. Therefore, policymakers, BPJS Kesehatan, hospitals, and healthcare professionals are encouraged to factor this insight into their decision-making processes.

Effect Of Medial Arch Support On Valgus Ankle Angle In Flat Foot Conditions
type: item
description: Background: Flat foot, or pes planus, is a condition where the medial longitudinal arch is lost, resulting in flat feet. In this case, if there is a problem with the medial longitudinal arch, it will affect the joint above it, called the valgus ankle. Handling flat foot is done by providing medial arch support. The use of medial arch support aims to maintain the foot and ankle in a neutral position by supporting the medial part so that the valgus can be corrected. Methods: This type of research is a quasi-experiment with a one-group pre- and post-test design. The number of subjects was 32 students of the Applied Undergraduate Program, Department of Prosthetic Orthotics. Results: Using the Wilcoxon hypothesis test and the p-value was found to be 0.000 for the right and left pre- and post-test foot. This shows that there is a decrease in the ankle valgus angle before and after the use of medial arch support. The average decrease in valgus ankle angle between pre- and post-test on the right foot was 2.32 degrees, while it was 2.44 degrees on the left foot. Conclusion: The use of medial arch support has an effect on decreasing valgus ankle in flat foot conditions, so it is recommended to use medial arch support in flat foot conditions.
