Nowadays, most children play digital games. Digital games, despite their advantages, have gradually eroded the existence of traditional games. Although both digital and traditional games comprise the values of problem-solving learning for children, traditional games offer more benefits in terms of the embodiment of local wisdom. This study aimed at encompassing the influence of Javanese traditional games such as bekelan, congklak lidi, and selentikan on the improvement of children’s problem-solving skills. This research was done employing quasi-experimental design involving 72 school-age children ranging from 9 to 11 years old, who studied at primary schools. The subjects of this study consisted of four experimental groups. Three groups played bekelan, congklak lidi, selentikan games respectively and the other group was assigned as the control group. The treatment was done for three weeks divided into six sessions. The findings showed that there was a significant improvement between the result of the pre-test and that of the post-test for these three games. The analysis results using One Way ANOVA showed that there was a difference in the improvement of problem-solving skills among groups (F(17) = 5.032, p < .01). Due to its superiority, Javanese traditional games are potential to be an alternative media in improving children’s problem-solving skills.

Introduction: Alcoholism is a major problem in developing countries like India. Alcoholism affects not only the individual but also his family and the society. Spouses of alcoholics are among those who suffer the maximum consequences of alcoholism and its effects. Aim: To find the effect of health promotional strategies (Yoga and Health education) on Quality of Life (QOL) of the spouse of alcoholics. Materials and Methods: Quasi experimental pre-test post-test control design was adopted. A total of 330 men were administered the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) tool to screen for alcoholics through house to house survey, of which 279 men who scored in the range of 8-15 AUDIT score were considered as alcoholics. Their spouses were selected as study participants (who met the sampling criteria) and subjects were randomly allocated to intervention group (132) and control group (147) through simple randomised sampling. The data was gathered by using WHOQOL-BREF tool to assess the QOL; initially pre-test QOL was assessed, followed by individual health education (45 minutes) and yoga (15 minutes) once a week for 3 consecutive weeks and post-test was done during fourth week for intervention (127) and control groups (142). There were five dropouts in post-test from each group due to health problems, migration and no cooperation from the family for the intervention. Independent t-test was performed by using SPSS version 18.0 to determine effectiveness of health promotion strategies on QOL scores between the intervention and control group and chi-square test was used to find the association between post-intervention QOL scores and selected demographic variable at p<0.05 level of significance. Results: QOL scores in all four domains in the intervention group showed that there was an increase before and after the interventions. On comparing the mean differences between QOL scores post-test in intervention and control group, calculated t-value was (34.04) and the difference was highly statistically significant at p<0.001** showing that health promotional strategies were effective in improving QOL among spouse of alcoholics. There was a significant association between post-test intervention QOL scores of subjects and selected variables such as primary decision maker (p=0.002*) of the family and history of domestic violence (p=0.030*). Conclusion: The study findings suggest that adopting health promotional strategies such as yoga can help the spouses of alcoholics to improve their QOL.
