EFEKTIVITAS MENYIKAT GIGI DENGAN METODE BASS DAN HORIZONTAL TERHADAP PERUBAHAN INDEKS PLAK PADA ANAK TUNAGRAHITA

Background: The important aspect for child especially children with mental retardation is oral health. Children with mental retardation have limitations in motoric activities that relate to the actions of dental hygiene in normally, that activities is toothbrushing and it can do by bass and horizontal method. The aim of this study is to know the difference effectiveness toothbrushing with bass and horizontal method on the changed of plaque index in children with mental retardation. Method: The quasi experimental methods with non-equivalent group design with post test design was used in this research and have done on 24 children with mild mental retardation at SDLB Purwosari Kudus which divided two groups, 12 students brushing with bass method and 12 students brushing with horizontal method. Result: The data were tested with paired t-test to compare plaque index before and after toothbrushing with bass and horizontal method, showed that there were meaningful differences (p<0,05). Independent t-test to compare the changed of plaque index between both methods, showed that there were no meaningful differences (p>0,05). Conclusion: It concluded that both bass and horizontal method effectively on the changed of plaque index in children with mental retardation. There was no difference effectiveness between both methods.

The study investigated the effect of the Bocce game on developing perceptual-motor ability and object control of adolescents with mental retardation. The subjects of the research were 15 adolescents with moderate Mental Retardation status (Age =16.4±1.59; IQ 54±.5). The study used a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pre-test post-test design. The analysis was conducted by using a T-test. The instrument used in this study was an observation employing an observation checklist adapted from Gallahue’s (1982) assessment checklist to measure perceptual-motor ability. A test was also employed to measure object control, including an underhand roll ball (grounder) test on the target using a Bocce ball with a 4-meter distance. The intervention of Bocce Game was given for 12 sessions. Each session lasted for 2 hours, 3 days per week. The statistical analysis showed the significant effect of the Bocce game on developing perceptual-motor ability (2.73 2.145) and object control (22.85 2.145). For that reason, it concludes that there is a significant effect of the Bocce game on perceptual-motor ability and object control of adolescents with mental retardation.

Academic Year

This research is motivated by the lack of students' abilities in Sundanese. The purpose of this study is to describe the ability of ngawih before and after using the Explicit Intruction model, whether or not increasing after using the Explicit Intruction model, as well as describing the difference between the ngawih ability before and after using the Explicit Intruction model. The method used in this study is a quasi-experimental method, to students of class XI KPU-2 SMK Negeri 12 Bandung by using a pre-test and post-test design. Based on the results of research conducted, the average before using the Explicit Intruction model is (30.14) which proves that students are not capable of being incompetent, while the average after using the Explicit Intruction model is (75.88) which proves students are capable of being incompetent. Based on the statistical test results the significance value (Sig.2-tailed) is (0,000 0.5) or less than 0.5. Thus, H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected. This means that there is a significant difference between the ability to appear before and after using the Explicit Instruction model. This shows that the Explicit Intruction learning model can improve the Sundanese ngawih ability of class XI KPU-2 students of SMK Negeri 12 Bandung in Academic Year 2018/2019. AbstrakPenelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kurangnya kemampuan siswa dalam ngawih Sunda. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan ngawih sebelum dan setelah menggunakan model Explicit Intruction, meningkat atau tidaknya setelah menggunakan model Explicit Intruction, serta mendeskripsikan perbedaan antara kemampuan ngawih sebelum dan setelah menggunakan model Explicit Intruction. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode kuasi eksperimen, kepada siswa kelas XI KPU-2 SMK Negeri 12 Bandung dengan menggunakan desain pre-test dan post-test. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilaksanakan, rata –rata sebelum menggunakan model Explicit Intruction adalah (30,14) yang membuktikan bahwa siswa belum mampu ngawih, sedangkan rata-rata setelah menggunakan model Explicit Intruction adalah (75,88) yang membuktikan siswa mampu ngawih. Berdasarkan hasil uji statistika nilai signifikansi (Sig.2-tailed) yaitu (0,0000,5) atau kurang dari 0,5. Dengan demikian, H1 diterima serta H0 ditolak. Artinya ada perbedaan yang signifikan anatar kemampuan ngawih sebelum dan setelah menggunakan model Explicit Intruction. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa model pembelajaran Explicit Intruction dapat meningkatkan kemampuan ngawih Sunda siswa kelas XI KPU-2 SMK Negeri 12 Bandung Tahun Ajaran 2018/2019.

Abstract : Patient with chronical diease such as Hemodialysis more likely need psycotherapy because until now medical atention only focus on physical aspect. Psycotherapy that can be used on Hemodialysis that going through depression is cognitive therapy and logo therapy. This study was to analysed the difference of influence between cognitive therapy and logo therapy on Hemodialysis patient that going through depression. This study was used quasi experimental pre–post test design. Respondent taking part in this study was 15 respondent for cognitive therapy and 15 respondent for logo therapy with puporsive sampling procedure. Study was conducted on Hemodialysis unit on RS Wava Husada Kepanjen from 21 April until 26 Mey 2017. Data analysis used on this study was dependent t test and independent t test. Dependent t test analysis showed significant value is 0,000 (less than < 0,05).Analysis showed significant value is 0,000 (less than < 0,05) that means there is difference between cognitive therapy and logo therapy to decrease depression on hemodialysis patient with mean value cognitive therapy (1,62) dan logo therapy (3,82). Conclussion on this study is that logo therapy more effective to reduce depression on Hemodialysis patient than cognitive therapy so logo therapy can applicated in hemodialysis patient.Keyword : cognitive therapy, logo therapy, depression in hemodialysis patient Abstrak : Pasien dengan penyakit kronis dengan hemodialisis diperlukan psikoterapi karena selama ini fokus penanganan di pelayanan kesehatan hanya pada masalah fisik. Psikoterapi yang bisa digunakan pada pasien hemodialisis yang mengalami depresi adalah cognitive therapy dan logo therapy. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perbedaan pengaruh cognitive therapy dan logo therapy terhadap depresi pada pasien dengan hemodialisis. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian quasi experimental pre – post test design. Jumlah responden dalam penelitian ini 15 responden untuk kelompok cognitive therapy dan 15 responden untuk kelompok logo therapy yang didapatkan dengan menggunakan tehnik purposive sampling.

The Subject

This research aims to see the students’ speaking skill before and after learning process by using expression card media at the second grade of SMA Negeri 1 Parepare. The results of the research are useful for the teacher and students. The teacher should aware that it is important to supplied the technique or strategy before teaching and the students also can be easier to express their ideas, make the students more active in learning process. The subject of this research is XI IIS4 class which is consisted of 30 students. The sample was taken by using simple random sampling. The design in this research was pre-experimental with pre-test and post-test design. The student did the pre-test, got the treatment and did the post-test. Then the criteria of speaking skills are fluency, accuracy, content, pronunciation and they were usedto measure the students’ speaking skill. It aimed to know whether using expression card media can improve the students’ speaking skill. The result in this research was indicated that there was improvement of the students’ speaking skill. It was indicated by the students’ mean score of post-test (73.3) was greater than pre-test (41.9). Even, for the level significant (p) 5% and (df) = N-1=30-1=29, and the value of table is 1.699, while the value of t-test is 16.18. it means that, the t-test value is greater than t-table (16.18 ≥ 1.699). Thus, it can be concluded that the students’ speaking skill is significant better after getting the treatment. So, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is fail rejected.
