SRI MAYERNI TAMPUBOLON

ABSTRAK

Kecemasan orang tua selama hospitalisasi anak berdampak pada keputusan klinis,
kolaborasi dengan tenaga kesehatan, dan kenyamanan anak. Di Rumah Sakit Dr.
Bratanata Jambi, jumlah anak yang menjalani hospitalisasi di Ruang Kenari dari
tahun ke tahun mengalami peningkatan, yakni 356 anak di tahun 2022, 543 anak
di tahun 2023, dan 630 anak di tahun 2024. Tujuan penelitian adalah diketahuinya
gambaran tingkat kecemasan orang tua pada anak yang menjalani hospitalisasi di
Ruang Kenari RS Dr. Bratanata Jambi. Waktu: JanuariAgustus 2025. Metode:
Penelitian kuantitatif deskriptif dengan accidental sampling, melibatkan 63
responden dari populasi 630 orang tua; data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara
terpimpin menggunakan Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) 14 item dan
dianalisis secara univariat (distribusi frekuensi). Hasil: Lebih dari separuh
responden mengalami kecemasan kategori sedang (69,8%); analisis butir
menunjukkan gejala paling menonjol pada item nomor 1, dengan 47,6%
responden selalu merasakan perasaan cemas, firasat buruk, takut pada pikiran
sendiri, dan mudah tersinggung. Saran: Rumah sakit perlu mengintegrasikan

skrining kecemasan berbasis HARS pada momen admisi, pra-tindakan, dan pra-
pulang; menstandarkan psikoedukasi keluarga dengan pendekatan teach-back;

menyediakan konseling singkat 1015 menit dan dukungan lingkungan ramah
anak; serta melatih perawat dalam komunikasi terapeutik dan teknik relaksasi
sederhana. Institusi pendidikan mendorong pembelajaran family-centered care
dan intervensi nonfarmakologis, orang tua dianjurkan mempraktikkan relaksasi
dan komunikasi aktif, dan penelitian lanjutan disarankan menggunakan desain
analitik/longitudinal serta pelaporan per domain gejala.

OVERVIEW OF PARENTAL ANXIETY LEVELS IN CHILDREN
UNDERGOING HOSPITALIZATION IN THE KENARI WARD, DR.

BRATANATA HOSPITAL, JAMBI
SRI MAYERNI TAMPUBOLON

ABSTRACT

Parental anxiety during child hospitalization affects clinical decision-making,
collaboration with healthcare providers, and the childs comfort. At Dr.
Bratanata Hospital Jambi, the number of hospitalized children in Kenari Ward
has increased year by year, from 356 in 2022, 543 in 2023, to 630 in 2024. The
aim of this study was to describe the level of parental anxiety among children
undergoing hospitalization in Kenari Ward, Dr. Bratanata Hospital Jambi. Time:
JanuaryAugust 2025. Method: A descriptive quantitative study with accidental
sampling, involving 63 respondents from a population of 630 parents; data were
collected through guided interviews using the 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating
Scale (HARS) and analyzed univariately (frequency distribution). Results: More
than half of the respondents experienced moderate anxiety (69.8%); item analysis
showed the most prominent symptoms were found in item number 1, with 47.6% of
respondents consistently reporting feelings of anxiety, foreboding, fear of their

own thoughts, and irritability. Suggestions: The hospital needs to integrate HARS-
based anxiety screening at admission, pre-procedure, and pre-discharge;

standardize family psychoeducation using a teach-back approach; provide 1015
minute brief counseling and child-friendly environmental support; and train
nurses in therapeutic communication and simple relaxation techniques.
Educational institutions should encourage learning about family-centered care
and non-pharmacological interventions, parents are advised to practice
relaxation and active communication, and further research is recommended to
employ analytic/longitudinal designs and report per-symptom domain outcomes.
