Latar Belakang: Body image seseorang dapat berubah karena beberapa hal, misalnya perubahan fisik seperti bertambahnya berat badan. Body image yang negatif akan berdampak pada pola makan dan aktivitas fisik sehingga seseorang akan melakukan berbagai cara untuk menurunkan berat badan. Berdasarkan hasil studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan pada tanggal 20 Januari 2017 pada mahasiswa Fakultas Ilmu Kesehatan Universitas Respati Yogyakarta, didapatkan hasil 12 orang mengalami obesitas. Enam orang mahasiswa mengatakan membatasi jumlah makan dan dua orang mahasiswa mengatakan melakukan aktivitas yang tinggi untuk mengurangi berat badan. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara body image dengan pola makan dan aktivitas fisik pada mahasiswa obesitas.  Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik dan bersifat kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Teknik pengambilan sampel, yaitu purposive sampling dengan jumlah responden 45 orang. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Multidimensional Body Self Relation Questionaire Appearance Scale, Food Frequency Questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Data diolah dan dianalisis menggunakan uji statistik yaitu uji Chi Square dengan CI 95%.  Hasil: Tidak ada hubungan antara body image dengan pola makan pada mahasiswa obesitas dengan nilai p=0,137, dan tidak ada hubungan antara body image dengan aktivitas fisik pada mahasiswa obesitas dengan nilai p=0,999.  Kesimpulan: Tidak ada hubungan signifikan antara body image dengan pola makan dan aktivitas fisik.

Mahasiswa keperawatan memiliki risiko yang lebih tinggi untuk mengalami stres dibandingkan  mahasiswa kesehatan lainnya. Belum pernah ada peneltian yang menggabungkan terapi meditasi dengan terapi musik suara alam untuk menurunkan stres pada mahasiswa keperawatan di Yogyakarta. Tujuan penelitian ntuk mengetahui pengaruh meditasi dengan suara alam pada mahasiswa keperawatan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian quasi-experiment dengan pendekatan pre dan post-test nonequivalent control group. Sampel dipilih menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling dan dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, masing-masing berjumlah 30 orang. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan DASS-42. Median skor stres pada kelompok perlakuan sebesar 11,00 pada pre-test sedangkan post-test sebesar 7,00. Di kelompok kontrol, median skor stres pre-test sebesar 10,00 dan median skor stres post-test sebesar 9,50. Uji Wilcoxon untuk menganalisis perbedaan skor stres pre dan post-test menghasilkan nilai p 0,000 di kelompok perlakuan dan pada kelompok kontrol menunjukkan nilai p 0,137. Meditasi menggunakan musik suara alam dapat menurunkan stres dan dapat menjadi terapi komplementer alternatif yang dapat dilakukan perawat. Kata kunci: meditasi, musik suara alam, stres, mahasiswa keperawatan MEDITATION WITH SOUND OF NATURE CAN REDUCE STRESS IN NURSING STUDENTSABSTRACTNursing students have a higher risk to experience stress than other medical students. Previously, there has never been any research regarding meditation using the sound of nature to reduce stress in nursing students in Yogyakarta.Research objective to determine the influence of meditation with the sound of nature to reduce stress in nursing students. This is quasi-experiment research with a pre and post-test nonequivalent control group design. The samples were selected using consecutive sampling and divided into two groups, each was 30 respondents. The research instrument used was DASS 42. The pre-test median stress score in the intervention group was 11.00, and the post-test score was 7.00. In the control group, the pre-test median score was 10.00, and the post-test score of 9.50. Wilcoxon test used to analyze the difference of stress score in the intervention group (p-value = 0.000), and the difference in stress score in the control group (p-value = 0.137). Meditation using the sound of nature can reduce stress in nursing students and can be an alternative complementary therapy for nurses. Keywords: meditation, the sound of nature, stress, nursing students

Due to the epidemic, nursing students were barred from practising in hospitals throughout their co-assistance phase. A comprehensive examination of their perceptions of their skills throughout this period will help enhance education, eliminate gaps, and produce well-trained nurses. Therefore, this study examines co-assistant nursing students' perspectives on their competency and the factors that influence it. The research method was a correlational survey approach. There were 297 co-assistant nursing students chosen as a sample using a consecutive sampling technique from 1085 co-assistant nursing students who were registered at PD-DIKTI. The Nurse Professional Competence Scale Short Form (NPCS-SF), which has 35 items, was used to measure the clinical competence of respondents. Bivariate analysis used the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence interval, while multivariate analysis used Logistic Regression. From the research process, this study found that most respondents perceive that they are less competent in learning during this pandemic (71.4%). It also can be concluded that respondents' satisfaction with learning methods and facilities is significantly related to students' competence (<0.05). Based on the value of OR, respondents who are satisfied with the learning method during the pandemic will be 1.7 times the opportunity to be competent compared to those who do not. From the logistic regression results, only the respondents' satisfaction with learning facilities during the pandemic significantly affected their perceptions of their competence. In conclusion, the clinical competence of co-assistance nursing students is strongly influenced by the learning facilities they get. Pandemic conditions cause students to not be facilitated optimally at a hospital or other clinical settings, ultimately reducing their confidence in the competencies experienced.

Breastfeeding mothers have limited access to healthcare facilities during the pandemic, thus raising their risk of psychological stress. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between psychological stress with breastfeeding frequency and breastmilk volume. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 120 exclusively breastfeeding mothers. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was employed as a stress assessment indicator measuring tool. The measurement of breastmilk volume was performed using a manual breast pump two hours before or after the baby suckles to restore milk production. The frequency of breastfeeding was calculated by adding up the number of times the baby is breastfed in a day. The chi-square test was used in this study. It was found that 68 respondents (56.7%) reported experiencing mild to moderate stress. Stress levels were found to have a significant connection with breastfeeding frequency and breastmilk volume (p < 0.05). The respondents who experienced severe stress have a 2.63-times higher risk for breastfeeding <8 times/day and 33.2 times higher risk of producing breast milk <100cc than respondents who experienced mild-moderate stress. Concerns about the psychological stress of breastfeeding mothers highlight the critical need for good mental health and broader help from families during the pandemic.

Introduction: Nurse professional students experienced academic stress due to the changing mode of learning to online learning. Academic stress also have a negative impact on the achievement of nursing profession students' competencies. There is an urgent need study to measure academic stress experienced by nursing professional students using a tailored and valid instrument.Method: This study is a quantitative study used survey design to measure academic stress in nursing students at the professional stage using a modified questionnaire from the Perceived Academic Stress Scale (PAS). There were 339 nursing students in profession phase from private college in Yogyakarta. Respondents were obtained by consecutive sampling technique. The psychometric testing of the modified PAS academic stress scale attempts to determine the instrument's internal, external, and reliability for use with nursing professional students. Internal validity was determined in two methods in this study: by examining corrected item-total correlation and by doing exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on each produced item. The instrument's external validity is determined by administering it to two specialists in mental nursing and nursing education.Results: The developed instrument has internal consistency reliability of 0.818 (Cronbach’s alpha), there was evidence for content validity, and factor analysis resulted in five correlated and theoretically meaningful factors. Based in this instrument, most students experience moderate academic stress during their learning at the professional program phase.Conclusions: The modified PAS instrument used in this study is a tailored, valid and trustworthy for measuring academic stress of nursing professional students during pandemic Covid-19.
