A significant increase in the number of mental disorders has been a phenomenon in the world, including Indonesia. It may indicate by the increasing number of the inpatients of mental hospitals. The study aims to determine the effect of the combination of psychosocial therapy and vitamin C on the stress and immunity level of patients with mental disorders. This study applied pre-experimental design on three groups in which each group consists of seven respondents with an assumption that 20% will be lost of follow up. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The criteria of the respondents include patients with schizophrenia, adults and administered with the same antipsychotic medication. The intervention includes the 500 mg of vitamin C and relaxation technique for four weeks on a daily basis. The stress levels and immunity of the patients are measured at the end of each month. One-way ANOVA is employed as the data analysis technique. The results of analysis in stress levels and immune responses between the three groups after the intervention of Vitamin C and relaxation techniques showed a mean difference in each group. The F value of 1.534 and an associated p value of 0.234 for stress levels, and f value of 0.790 with p value of 0.469 statistically indicate the insignificant difference between the three groups. Meanwhile, during the interview as an assessment of stress levels, the second and third intervention groups were more cooperative compared to the first group. Respondents were more cooperative during mental status examination after the end of the second and third weeks, and showed an improvement in CD4 immunity (cluster of differentiation 4).

Background : Anemia in pregnancy is currently a global problem in Indonesia because it can cause maternal death. The role of iron is very important for pregnant women and fetuses. The risk of anemia in pregnant women can cause postpartum bleeding, prolonged labor and infection during the puerperium. Disorders of fetal development can also be caused by iron deficiency. The importance of efforts to reduce the problem of anemia in pregnant women can be pharmacologically and non pharmacologically. Non-pharmacological treatment can be know as complementary or alternative therapy by  giving seaweed and honey  drinks. Consumption of foods containing Fe such as seaweed and consumption of food containing Fe absorption aids (Fe enhancers) containing vitamin C can increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women.  Purpose: to determine the effectiveness of seaweed (Eucheuma Spinosum) and honey drinks on increasing haemoglobin levels in pregnant women.Methods : The research using a quasi-experimental research method with one group pre test-post test design. The sampling technique used was the non-probability sampling technique of "purposive sampling" with a sample of 30 pregnant women who were given 100 grams of seaweed drink and 25 grams of honey a day for 10 days.Results :  The results showed that there was a change in the mean before being given treatment (Pre test) of 10.4 gr/dl after being given an intervention (post test) of 11.4 gr/dl. Hemoglobin levels after treatment increased on average by 1 g/dl with p-value (0.001) (P <0.05).Conclusion : consuming seaweed and honey drinks has an effect on increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. Keywords:  Haemoglobin, Seaweed , Honey ABSTRAK Latar Belakang : Anemia pada kehamilan saat ini menjadi masalah global di Indonesia karena dapat mengakibatkan kematian pada ibu. Peranan zat besi sangatlah penting bagi ibu hamil dan janin. Resiko anemia pada ibu hamil dapat menyebabkan terjadinya perdarahan pasca salin, persalinan lama dan  infeksi pada masa nifas. Gangguan pada perkembangan janin dapat disebabkan juga karena kekurangan zat besi. Pentingnya dilakukan upaya mengurangi masalah anemia pada ibu hamil dapat secara farmakologi dan non farmakologi. Penanganan secara non farmakologi dapat kita kenal dengan therapi komplementer atau alternatif dengan pemberian minuman rumput laut dan madu. Konsumsi makanan yang mengandung Fe seperti rumput laut dan konsumsi  makanan  yang mengandung  zat pembantu penyerapan Fe (enhancer Fe)  yang mengandung vitamin C dapat meningkatkan kadar haemoglobin pada ibu hamil.Tujuan: penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas minuman rumput laut (Eucheuma Spinosum) dan madu terhadap peningkatan kadar haemoglobin pada ibu hamil.Metode : penelitian ini menggunakan quasy experiment dengan one group pretest-post test design. Teknik pengambilan sampel dengan teknik Nonprobability sampling jenis “Purposive sampling” dengan jumlah sampel 30 orang ibu hamil yang diberikan minuman rumput laut 100 gr dan 25 gr sehari madu selama 10 hari.Hasil : Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perubahan mean sebelum diberikan perlakuan (Pre test) 10,4 gr/dl setelah di berikan intervensi (post test) 11,4 gr/dl. kadar haemoglobin setelah perlakuan  rata-rata meningkat sebesar 1 gr/dl dengan p-value (0,001) (P <0,05).  Kesimpulan : mengkonsumsi minuman  rumput laut dan madu memiliki pengaruh terhadap peningkatan kadar haemoglobin pada ibu hamil. Kata kunci: Haemoglobin, rumput laut, madu

This type of research is pre-experimental which will be conducted on 40 people with mental disorders without using a control group. The sampling technique used in this study was total sampling. This research was conducted by filling out questionnaires to respondents to determine coping and psychological resistance pre and post after the intervention. The analysis used was a paired t-test. There was an increase in coping scores and psychological resilience after the intervention, although there were still a few and many had fixed scores. The level of significance of the relationship with the paired t-test gave a result of = 0.026 for coping and 0.017 for resistance. The interpretation of the paired t-test was that there was a difference between before and after treatment because the p-value was <0.05. Vocational Rehabilitation is an activity that has a positive impact on the development of ODGJ (people with mental disorders).

In this modern society, with its multitude of stressors that people encounter on a daily basis, a characteristic of mental disorders is that there is a risk of developing them at the unconscious level, and even if the patient were to detect the condition, they are difficult to treat. Furthermore, while there are tests that evaluate the level of stress, these tests still have many elements. Therefore, it is extremely important to be able to objectively assess ones stress levels, as well as to raise awareness of and pay attention to internal signals in order to control the level of risk, to create a mechanism which provides medical help. Thus, this study aims to visualize the internal signals through the heart rate which is affected by stress, develop a system to provide assistance in returning stress to normal levels, and assisting in helping patients manage their own risk levels.
