There will be many physical and psychological changes in the mother during the course of her pregnancy. Pregnant women frequently have discomfort or complaints during their pregnancy, with back pain being one of the causes. Ligament redistribution is another common problem. Prenatal yoga is one of the methods for overcoming this discomfort. The muscles surrounding the spine become more flexible during pregnancy yoga. This study was designed to find out how well prenatal yoga worked in reducing back pain in second and third trimesters of pregnancy.This study design employs a quasi-experiment with a pretest and posttest without a control group. 34 pregnant women with back pain who were in the second and third trimesters made up the sample. Purposive sampling and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) as a pain scale measuring instrument were employed in the sample process. For six weeks, the participants received a once-weekly prenatal yoga intervention. This study was carried out in Kediri City's Gayatri Mom and Baby Spa. According to the study's findings, all pregnant women reported back discomfort prior to beginning a yoga practice—50% of them had mild back pain. Just ten pregnant women reported experiencing pain after practicing yoga, while twenty-four reported feeling no pain at all. The Asym value was derived from statistical testing using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test results. The statistical significance of Sig of 0.000 (p value < 0.05) indicates that offering prenatal yoga training at Gayatri Mom and Baby Spa has an impact on lowering back pain in expectant mothers. This study concludes that pregnant women's back pain can be effectively reduced by practicing prenatal yoga. Prenatal yoga is intended to be used in conjunction with complementary midwifery care, particularly with regard to pregnancy care.

This study explores the influence of family assistance on patient anxiety levels in emergency units, addressing the critical need for emotional support in high-stress medical environments. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combined quantitative measures, including the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and physiological indicators (heart rate and blood pressure), with qualitative interviews of patients and family members. Results demonstrated that patients with family presence experienced significant reductions in anxiety levels (mean STAI scores decreased from 52.3 to 41.7) and physiological measures, highlighting the vital role of emotional, practical, and informational support. Qualitative data revealed themes of emotional reassurance, improved communication with healthcare providers, and the challenges faced by family members. These findings underscore the importance of integrating family-centered care practices in emergency settings, suggesting that policies encouraging family presence and involvement can enhance patient outcomes and satisfaction. The research contributes to existing literature by providing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics between family support and patient anxiety, paving the way for future studies on optimizing emergency care through family engagement.

Adolescents are in a developmental stage where relationships with peers become the primary source of emotional support, social identity, and self-regulation. When attachment to peers is not fulfilled, characterized by poor communication, lack of trust, and feeling alienated from peers, it causes adolescents with poor peer attachment to tend to be isolated from their peers. Thus, shyness, or the condition of feeling uncomfortable in interactions and being prone to restlessness, makes adolescents withdraw from their environment. These two conditions encourage adolescents to seek comfort through the online world, which can trigger excessive and maladaptive internet use, commonly known as Problematic Internet Use. This study uses a quantitative method with multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The data for this research were collected using random cluster sampling techniques with a sample size of 365 students from 2 (two) State Junior High Schools in Ponorogo, with sample age criteria of 13-15 years using a questionnaire that measures peer attachment, shyness, and problematic internet use. Based on the results of the multiple linear regression analysis, it shows that the significance values of peer attachment (X1) and shyness (X2) on problematic internet use (Y) are 0.000 (p < 0.01), meaning there is a very significant relationship between peer attachment and shyness with problematic internet use. This means that together, peer attachment and shyness can be very significant predictors of problematic internet use.
