Pain and hospitalization caused a crisis in the child's life. At the preschool children, the stress of the disease makes children become less able to cope with separation. As a result, many children show anxious behavior though more vague than toddler age children. Various ways have been conducted by nurses to treat anxiety in children, but the most effective types of the intervention have not be found. Types of intervention that can be done are art therapy and play therapy. This study aims to compare the effects of art therapy and play therapy in reducing anxiety on children who experience hospitalization. A quasi-experimental research design with pre-post test two group design is used. The sample was 23 children preschool age for art therapy group and 25 children for play therapy with sampling techniques performed purposive sampling. Intervention of art therapy and play therapy each performed for 3 days with duration about 30 minutes. Anxiety levels before and after the intervention were measured by using the facial affective scale. The results show that there is a difference in anxiety between before and after the action in the art therapy group (p = 0.00) and that there are differences in anxiety before and after the action in the play therapy group (0.00). But statistical tests using Man Whitney U indicate that there is no difference in anxiety levels in preschool children who do art therapy and play therapy (p = 0.26). So, it is concluded that the art therapy and the play therapy can reduce the level of anxiety on preschool school children that experience hospitalization. Based on these conclusions, it is recommended that the art therapy and the play therapy can be used by nurses and the choice of the intervention should be submitted to the child.

AIM: This study aims to identify anxiety and fatigue in children with leukemia on the quality of life. METHODS: Current research was implemented through a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design on children suffering from leukemia and undergoing a series of chemotherapy cycles. Through this design, the researcher measured the dependent variable, independent variable, and mediator variable at the same time with a sample of 82 people. Data collection was further done using PEDSQL 3 for cancer module. Meanwhile, the analysis used is path analysis which involves nausea and vomiting as a mediator. RESULTS: The results showed that the factor that had a direct relationship with the child’s quality of life was nausea and vomiting (p < 0.05) which was then analyzed using Sobel analysis resulting that nausea and vomiting were not a mediator of fatigue and anxiety. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to every nursing care practitioner to intervene in order to reduce anxiety and fatigue in children according to their condition. CONCLUSION: Anxiety and fatigue together have a relationship with nausea and vomiting in pediatric patients suffering from leukemia and undergoing chemotherapy. Nausea and vomiting have a significant direct relationship with quality of life. Anxiety and fatigue have a direct relationship with quality of life without being mediated by nausea and vomiting variables.

Dengue Haemorragik Fever (DHF) atau yang biasa disebut demam berdarah dengue (DBD) sejak ditemukan pertama kali di Indonesia pada tahun 1968 sampai sekarang sering menjadi penyebab kematian terutama pada anak remaja dan dewasa. DHF juga telah menyebar ke hampir seluruh wilayah Indonesia. Provinsi Jawa Barat khususnya kota Bandung merupakan daerah perkotaan dengan tingkat kepadatan penduduk yang tinggi ditunjang dengan kondisi sanitasi lingkungan yang masih rendah, mengakibatkan angka kejadian DHF masih tinggi. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan di lapangan penyuluhan upaya pencegahan DHF sudah terjadwalkan satu bulan satu kali namun berdasarkan informasi yang diperoleh dari puskesmas bahwa masih banyak terdapat kasus DHF yang setiap tahunnya meningkat. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pengetahuan dan sikap masyarakat tentang penyakit DHF terhadap perilaku pencegahan penyakit DHF. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif korelasional. Populasi seluruh masyarakat atau keluarga berjumlah 2913 KK dengan sample dalam penelitian ini adalah kepala keluarga atau anggota keluarga dewasa sejumlah 352 KK yang berada di Kelurahan Sukagalih Kecamatan Sukajadi Kota Bandung. Tehnik pengumpulan data dengan kuisioner. Analisa data dengan univariat berupa distribusi frekuensi dan analisa bivariat dengan Kendal Tau dan untuk analisa karakteristik responden menggunakan coeficient contingency. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian setengahnya (50 %) keluarga memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang baik, dan lebih dari setengahnya (53.1 %) keluarga mempunyai sikap mendukung terhadap perilaku pencegahan DHF. Hasil analisa bivariat terdapat hubungan/korelasi yang bermakna antara pengetahuan dan sikap terhadap perilaku pencegahan penyakit DHF dengan nilai p kurang dari 0,01.
