Mission Trips

Short-term Christian overseas volunteer trips, also known as short-term mission trips (STMs), have become increasingly prevalent (Howell & Dorr, 2007). However, research on these programs has been limited. This quasi-experimental study adds to the literature by quantitatively measuring the effects of an STM from Singapore to Thailand. STM recipients’ ( n = 44) self-esteem and readiness for self-directed learning (RSDL) were compared across timepoints – pre-test, post-test, follow-up – and with a control group ( n = 50). It was hypothesized that recipients would experience an increase in self-esteem and RSDL such that their scores would be higher than the control group post-STM. Results provide partial support for the hypotheses; while improvements among recipients were either not significant (for self-esteem) or not long-lasting (for RSDL), recipients had higher scores than the control group post-STM. This suggests that STMs have some, albeit limited, positive effects. Recommendations for promoting greater and longer-lasting effects are offered.

Background: The role of the learning methods is changing from teacher centered learning to student centered learning (SCL). One of the SCL methods is collaborative and cooperative learning. The past twenty years have seen an increase in collaborative and cooperative learning based pedagogies in colleges, but not in community based health education. The aim of this study is to identify the efectivity of collaborative and cooperative learning in community based health educationMethod: This research used quasi experimental non-randomized control group post test design. Respondent of the research are 111 geriatric cadres of Kecamatan Kepanjen and 72 geriatric cadres of Kecamatan Singosari.Results: Data shows that cadre’s knowledge in first training, 30 and 90 days after first training increased in both groups (p<0,001). There is no relationship between individual characteristic (age, education, occupation, time to work as a cadre, training) and increase of knowledge (p>0,05).Conclusion: Collaborative and cooperative method can increase cadre’s knowledge of stroke effectively and maintain memory retention longer than conventional method.

ABSTRACT Illicit substance use has been becoming the major global issue. In Indonesia, inmates imprisoned for illicit substance offences accounted for 40 percent of the total inmates. This study aimed to identify the effects of family psychoeducational therapies on inmates’ self esteem in the narcotics correctional facility.  Quasi-experimental pre-post test with control group was employed in this study. Intervention group 1 received general nursing intervention whereas intervention group 2 received family psychoeducational therapies.  This study involved 31 inmates for each group. Data were collected using Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES), and were analysed using repeated ANOVA dan independent t-tests. The study demonstrated that self esteem was significantly upper amongst those who received the combination of those two therapies compared to those who received general nursing intervention standalone (p < .005). This study suggested the implementation of both general nursing intervention and specialistic therapies, particularly family psychoeducational therapies to address the anxiety problems experienced by adolescent inmates suffering from illicit substance dependences.

The present study tried to investigate one of the options for improving self-directed learning in Iranian EFL learners, i.e., contemplative L2 instruction with a flavor of transformative instruction. Accordingly, it adopted a quasi-experimental design to investigate the influential effects that contemplative teaching would exert on Iranian EFL learners&rsquo; L2 self-directed learning and reading comprehension abilities. To this end, two groups of Iranian EFL learners were taught on the L2 through either contemplative teaching (Experimental Group) or a traditional method (Control Group). The results of the study indicated that contemplative teaching, accompanied with transformative instruction, would in fact have significant effects on Iranian EFL learners&rsquo; L2 autonomy, i.e., self-directed L2 learning, and L2 reading comprehension skills. In addition, the analysis of the qualitative indicated that the participants in the Experimental Group held positive attitudes towards contemplative and transformative L2 instruction and believed these instructional strategies would create a supporting and viable classroom atmosphere. The findings of this study would have significant implications for both theory and practice on L2 contemplative teaching, self-directed learning, and reading comprehension.

Background: The consumption of Fe tablets needs to be the attention of midwives as one of the spearheads in providing antenatal care services. Due to the low level of compliance of pregnant women to consume Fe tablets, it is necessary to provide appropriate counseling as an effort to increase compliance with Fe tablets. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the application model (Sumiferos) for preventing anemia with pregnant women compliance in consuming Fe tablets at Putri Ayu Health Center in Jambi city. Materials and methods: This study used a quasi-experimental research design with a post-test design by involving an intervention group and a control group (post-test), two group designs. With the total of 70 subjects;the intervention group, 35 respondents were given a website application (sumiferos), and a control group 35 respondents were given a leflet. After a month, the number of Fe tablets that have been consumed was monitored. Compliance of pregnant women in consuming Fe tablets required a monitoring or supervisioncarried out by health workers. Therefore, an intervention was given by using a website-based application (sumiferos) for pregnant women as a communication tool that has been created and designed previously by researchers. Results: Posttest statistical analysis showed that pregnant women who were given a website application (sumiferos) in the intervention group showed better compliance than pregnant women in the control group given lefket. Conclusion: Based on the results,a website application (sumiferos) is more effective than leaflets in improving maternal compliance to consume Fe tablets given by health workers.

Persons with mental illness often have low self-esteem, a lack of self-expression, and poor social skills. This study used a quasi-experimental two-group pre-test-post-test design to investigate the effects of food art therapy on the self-esteem, self-expression, and social skills of persons with mental illness attending community rehabilitation facilities. The authors recruited persons with mental illness aged 18 years or older attending three community rehabilitation facilities. Participants in two rehabilitation facilities participated in food art therapy (experimental groups 1 and 2; n = 15 for each group), and participants in the third rehabilitation facility participated in regular programs of the facility (control group, n = 30). Participants in the experimental groups attended a total of eight sessions of food art therapy twice per week for four weeks. The Korean versions of the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, self-expression scale, and social skill rating system were administered at pre- and post-test in both the experimental and control groups. The self-esteem, self-expression, and social skills of the experimental group improved significantly compared to the control group. The findings suggested that food art therapy would be an excellent psychosocial intervention to help persons with mental illness to rehabilitate in the community.

Abstract: Introduction: Assistance in health services is often the first possibility for the identification of cases of Violence Against Children and Teenagers (VACT). Therefore, the aim of this article was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program developed to enable students and health professionals to recognize and report cases of VACT. Additionally, we sought to verify at what level of training (undergraduate, postgraduate or working professional) such intervention would show the greatest effect. Method: This is a quasi-experimental study, of which design was based on the analysis of a non-equivalent Control Group (CG). The research included undergraduate medical students, postgraduate medical students attending pediatric residency and professionals working in health institutions. A total of 105 people participated, of which 89% were women. The participants were subsequently subdivided between the Experimental Group - EG (n = 60) and Control Group - CG (n = 45). A training program on the topic, consisting of 10 sessions (20h in total), was developed and applied with an EG. To assess the effectiveness of the intervention, a questionnaire was applied at previously determined periods (pre-test and post-test). The data were submitted to statistical analysis (descriptive analyses, t test and Tukey’s multiple comparison test), using the software R. Results: The post-test showed statistically significant changes in all dimensions evaluated with the EG, which proves that the intervention resulted in changes regarding the previous conceptions that the participants had about VACT. Additionally, when comparing the responses obtained in the questionnaires between the three EG groups (undergraduate, postgraduate students and working professionals), it was verified that there were no statistical differences between the groups, suggesting that educational programs have positive effects on all levels of training. Conclusions: This study showed that training programs can qualify the conception of students and health professionals, as well as help them feel more prepared to deal with the demands related to VACT. However, a collective effort is needed so that these contents are purposefully incorporated into the training process at all levels, from undergraduate school to continuing education.

Abstrak: Kehidupan remaja di Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA) merupakan bentuk dari konsekuensi hukuman atas perilaku melanggar hukum yang pernah dilakukan. Berbagai permasalahan dialami remaja dalam menjalani kehidupannya di LPKA, diantaranya perubahan hidup, hilangnya kebebasan dan hak-hak yang semakin terbatas, hingga perolehan label “panjahat” yang melekat pada dirinya.Oleh sebab itu, dibutuhkan terapi untuk meningkatkan harga diri pada remaja. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat pengaruh terapi kognitif terhadap peningkatan harga diri remaja di LPKA. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain Quasi Experimental Pre-Post Test with Control Group. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 28 responden yang terdiri dari 14 kelompok perlakuan dan 14 kelompok kontrol dengan teknik purposive sampling. Instrument pengukuran harga diri menggunakan kuesioner yang di modifikasi dari Roserberg Self-Esteem Scale. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan peningkatan harga diri remaja antara sebelum dan sesudah diberikan terapi generalis HDR dan terapi kognitif pada kelompok perlakuan (nilai p-value = 0,000). Pada kelompok kontrol terdapat perbedaan peningkatan harga diri antara sebelum dan sesudah diberikan terapi generalis HDR (nilai p-value= 0,000), sedangkan untuk harga diri remaja sesudah diberikan intervensi antara kelompok perlakuan dengan kelompok kontrol terdapat perbedaan peningkatan harga diri antara kelompok perlakuan dengan kelompok kontrol setelah diberikan intervensi (nilai p-value =0,006).Pemberian terapi generalis dan terapi kognitif memiliki pengaruh yang lebih bermakna terhadap peningkatan harga diri remaja dibandingkan dengan pemberian tindakan generalis saja. Kata kunci: harga diri, terapi kognitif, remaja

Using a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups, 93 eighth grade students were randomly assigned either to the experimental or to the control group and responded to the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale two weeks before and after the intervention. While the students in the experimental group were instructed in quality books for children and reading comprehension skills based on metacognitive strategy for 10 weeks, the control group only received typical non-quality books. Study results showed that while the pre-test self-esteem scores of the students in both groups were similar before the intervention, the post-test self-esteem scores of the students in the experimental group were significantly higher than of those in the control group. Quality books and metacognitive strategy for students may not only help improve reading comprehension but also may increase self-esteem level.
