Yesi Alfiyatul Karomah, Aida Rusmariana, Lia Rizqi K





Latar belakang: Hospitalisasi pada anak usia prasekolah sering kali memicu rasa takut dan kecemasan akibat lingkungan asing, perpisahan dengan keluarga, serta tindakan medis. Kondisi ini berpotensi mengganggu proses penyembuhan. Terapi bermain mewarnai menjadi salah satu intervensi untuk membantu anak mengekspresikan perasaan sekaligus mengurangi kecemasan dalam proses perawatan.

Tujuan: Karya tulis ilmiah ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan intervensi terapi bermain mewarnai terhadap kecemasan akibat hospitalisasi pada anak pra sekolah di Ruang Flamboyan RSI PKU Muhammadiyah Pekajangan.

Metode: Penerapan ini menggunakan metode studi kasus berbasis evidence-based practice (EBP) pada satu pasien dengan anak usia pra sekolah. Intervensi berupa terapi bermain mewarnai dilaksanakan selama 3 hari berturut-turut, dengan evaluasi tingkat kecemasan menggunakan instrumen Faces Image Scale (FIS).

Hasil: Hasil studi kasus menunjukkan terdapat penurunan terhadap kecemasan akibat hospitalisasi pada anak, dibuktikan dengan perubahan secara bertahap terhadap hasil pengkajian skor FIS 5 (sangat cemas) sebelum diberikan intervensi dan setelah diberikan 3 hari pemberian intervensi hasil pengkajian skor FIS 1 (tidak cemas).

Simpulan: Terapi bermain mewarnai dapat digunakan sebagai intervensi nonfarmakologis dalam menurunkan kecemasan akibat hospitalisasi pada anak usia prasekolah.

ABSTRACT
Yesi Alfiyatul Karomah, Aida Rusmariana, Lia Rizqi K
Application of Coloring Play Therapy on Hospitalization-Induced Anxiety in
Preschool Children at the Flamboyan Ward of RSI PKU Muhammadiyah
Pekajangan
Background: Hospitalization in preschool-aged children often triggers fear and
anxiety due to unfamiliar environments, separation from family, and medical
procedures. This condition has the potential to interfere with the recovery process.
Coloring play therapy serves as one intervention to help children express their
feelings while simultaneously reducing anxiety during the care process.
Objective: This scientific paper aims to determine the application of coloring play
therapy intervention on hospitalization-induced anxiety in preschool children at the
Flamboyan Ward of RSI PKU Muhammadiyah Pekajangan.
Method: This application uses an evidence-based practice (EBP) case study
method on one preschool-aged pediatric patient. The intervention consisting of
coloring play therapy was carried out for 3 consecutive days, with anxiety levels
evaluated using the Faces Image Scale (FIS) instrument.
Results: The results of the case study indicate a reduction in hospitalizationinduced anxiety in the child, evidenced by a gradual change in the FIS assessment
score from 5 (very anxious) before the intervention was given to a FIS score of 1
(not anxious) after 3 days of intervention.
Conclusion: Coloring play therapy can be used as a non-pharmacological
intervention in reducing hospitalization-induced anxiety in preschool-aged children.
