THE IMPACT OF COMPLAINING ON THE HEALING PROCESS: PSYCHOLOGICAL, MEDICAL, AND ISLAMIC SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVES

Isdianto, Andik, Al Indunissy, Nuruddin, Fitrianti, Novariza
Abstract: Complaining is a common emotional response to illness, yet its impact on healing is rarely examined from a multidisciplinary perspective. This article aims to analyze how complaining influences the recovery process through… gh psychological, Islamic spiritual, and medical lenses. The method used was a literature review with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected from scientific articles published between 2015 and 2024 using Scopus, PubMed, DOAJ, and Google Scholar. Findings reveal that excessive complaining amplifies stress, worsens mental health, and disrupts the immune system. Psychologically, uncontrolled complaints are linked to low emotional resilience. From an Islamic view, patience (shabr) and supplication to God provide spiritual strength and mental stability. Medically, emotional stress raises cortisol levels, negatively impacting tissue healing and immune responses. This study underscores the urgency of a holistic approach that integrates psychological, spiritual, and medical dimensions in healthcare services. It contributes to scientific discourse by offering a model for more humane and comprehensive healthcare. Further empirical studies are recommended to validate this integration in clinical settings.

IMPROVING STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES ON TEMPERATURE AND HEAT MATERIALS WITH GUIDED INQUIRY ASSISTED BY SIMULATION MEDIA

Alfahinsa, Muhammad Zaki Maulana, Fauziah, An Nuril Maulida
Abstract: This study was conducted to describe the improvement of student learning outcomes in learning that applied guided inquiry assisted by simulation media on temperature and heat materials. This research was carried out on students&#8230; tudents in grade VII-G at UPT SMPN 18 Gresik by conducting pre-test activities, three learning treatments, and post-tests. The type of research used is pre-experimental research with a one group pretest posttest research design. The learning outcomes of students were measured by pretest and posttest questions with a sample of 31 students in this study which was measured by N-Gain analysis and to test the significance, the Wilcoxon test was used. The learning outcomes obtained by students have increased with an increase in N-Gain of 0.40 with a "Medium" interpretation. In addition, the results of the significance of the pretest and posttest scores showed a value of 0.000 (<0.05) which means that there was a significant increase in the pretest and posttest results.

OPTIMIZING INCISION DEPTH IN SUNNAH CUPPING THERAPY FOR SAFETY AND THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY

Isdianto, Andik, Fitrianti, Novariza
Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the impact of incision depth in Sunnah cupping therapy on safety and therapeutic efficacy, with a focus on identifying the optimal incision depth that minimizes risks while maximizing therapeutic&#8230; tic benefits. The method used is a literature review, gathering data from scientific databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using keywords related to cupping therapy, incision depth, and dermatological aspects. The findings reveal that an incision depth of 0.5 mm to 1 mm in the dermis layer not only avoids damage to the deeper hypodermis but is also sufficient for the effective extraction of stagnant blood. This very light incision provides advantages in enhancing blood circulation and facilitating the extraction of stagnant blood necessary in cupping therapy. This approach, involving extremely light incisions, cannot be considered invasive and is highly suitable for enhancing therapy efficacy without compromising patient safety. Further discussion in the study highlights that with the correct incision technique, cupping therapy can become safer and more effective, encouraging significant improvements in immune response and tissue regeneration. The conclusion of this study underscores the importance of standardizing procedures and adequate training for cupping practitioners to ensure safe and effective practices. Further research is recommended to strengthen the evidence related to the effectiveness and safety of cupping therapy and to develop more detailed standard protocols.

THE ROLE OF QURANIC VERSES IN ENHANCING SOUL TRANQUILITY AND MENTAL HEALTH

Isdianto, Andik, Al Indunissy, Nuruddin, Fitrianti, Novariza
Abstract: This study delves into the significant impact of Quranic verses on fostering mental and spiritual health, focusing particularly on enhancing soul tranquility through spiritual therapy. In the face of rising mental health&#8230; issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression, incorporating spiritual dimensions within psychotherapy has proven to be essential. Utilizing a comprehensive literature review methodology, this research scrutinized various academic sources to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating Quranic verses in contemporary psychotherapy practices. The findings reveal that embedding spiritual elements notably promotes soul tranquility, reduces stress symptoms, and improves overall life quality. This underscores the Quran's pivotal role in supporting both psychological therapy and spiritual well-being, validating the verses' utility as therapeutic tools. The study suggests that future research should expand on the exploration of these spiritual practices in varied clinical settings to further confirm their benefits in enhancing mental health. The inclusion of spiritual values in clinical practice not only aids in mental health recovery but also meets modern therapeutic demands, providing a holistic approach to maintaining mental and soul tranquility.

Papasi, Delfi, Suriaman, Aminah, Anggreni, Afrillia
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to prove that the Question Generation Strategy (QGS) can develop students' reading comprehension. This research was limited in literal and inferential/interpretative understanding in descriptive&#8230; tive texts. The researcher applied a quasi-experimental research design. The sample of this study was class VIII A as an experimental class consisted of 22 students and Vlll C as a control class of 22 students. Data collection was carried out through pre-test and post-test. The results of this study show that there is a significant increased of students’ score who were taught by using Question Generation Strategy (QGS). The increasement can be seen from the change of student qualification from previously poor to fair. Furthemore the t-count value is 5.26 while the t-table is 1.68 which means the t-count is higher than the t-table. Thus the research hypothesis is accepted. In other words, the use of the Question Generation Strategy (QGS) can develop reading comprehension of grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 7 Palu. It implies that teachers are suggested to use the Question Generation Strategy (QGS) in teaching reading comprehension, especially in the junior high school level.

EFEKTIVITAS PERAWATAN LUKA MENGGUNAKAN NACL 0,9% PADA Ny.P IBU POST PARTUM NORMAL PRIMIPARA DENGAN INDIKASI RUPTURE PERINEUM DI DESA KALIGONDANG

Niken Risma Astika, Priyatin Sulistiowati, Dwi Astuti
Abstract: On a world scale, the main cause of high maternal mortality is post-partum infection. Of the 500 million incidents of postpartum infections, there are 75,000 deaths, in Purbalingga the incidence of perineal infections will&#8230; ll reach 5.7% in 2023. One of the factors is the high rate of postpartum infections, namely low knowledge about infection prevention. One effective management is perineal wound care using NaCl 0.9%. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of wound treatment using 0.9% NaCl in normal primiparous post partum mothers with indications of perineal rupture in Kejobong Village. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. After treating the wound twice for 3 days using 0.9% NaCl, it was found that the wound looked better and there were no signs of infection as indicated by a decrease in the REEDA score from 11 categories of unhealed wounds to 2 categories of moderate wounds. This is supported by cleanliness of the wound area and choosing the right food. Wound treatment using 0.9% NaCl is effective for healing perineal ruptures.
