Siti Nafisah — 2025-10-06

Latar Belakang: . Pola asuh mencakup pendekatan yang digunakan orang tua untuk mendidik, melindungi, dan memberikan kenyamanan emosional kepada anak-anak mereka. Mengasuh anak autis menghadirkan tantangan tersendiri karena variabilitas karakteristik autisme. Gaya pengasuhan yang diadopsi dapat memengaruhi tingkat kecemasan yang dialami oleh orang tua. Metode: Penelitian potong lintang dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode total sampling yang melibatkan 36 orang tua anak autis dari sembilan Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB) di Kabupaten Klaten, Indonesia. Gaya pengasuhan dinilai menggunakan Kuesioner Gaya dan Dimensi Pengasuhan, dan tingkat kecemasan orang tua diukur menggunakan Skala Penilaian Kecemasan Hamilton. Normalitas data diperiksa menggunakan uji Shapiro–Wilk, dan karena data berdistribusi tidak normal, uji korelasi peringkat Spearman diterapkan. Hasil: Sebagian besar responden berjenis kelamin perempuan (83,3%) dengan pendidikan sekolah menengah atas (50%), mengadopsi gaya pengasuhan demokratis (66,7%), dan melaporkan tidak ada kecemasan (47,2%). Korelasi negatif yang signifikan secara statistik ditemukan antara gaya pengasuhan demokratis dan tingkat kecemasan orang tua (p = 0,036, r = -0,350), yang menunjukkan bahwa gaya pengasuhan demokratis berhubungan dengan tingkat kecemasan orang tua yang lebih rendah. Kesimpulan: Gaya pengasuhan secara signifikan berhubungan dengan kecemasan orang tua pada anak autis, dengan pendekatan demokratis berhubungan dengan tingkat kecemasan yang lebih rendah.

EFFECTS OF INSTRUMENTAL AND VOCAL MUSIC THERAPY ON BETA-ENDORPHIN RELEASE AND STRESS REDUCTION: A CONTROLLED EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Ketut sumerjana — 2025-10-14

Chronic stress is a pervasive global health issue linked to psychological and physiological disorders. Music therapy has emerged as a non-invasive, cost-effective intervention with demonstrated benefits in emotional regulation and neurochemical modulation. Among its proposed mechanisms is the stimulation of beta-endorphin production, a neuropeptide associated with pain relief, mood enhancement, and stress reduction. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of instrumental and vocal music therapy on beta-endorphin hormone levels and subjective stress reduction in adults experiencing moderate to high stress A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 90 participants aged 18–45 with self-reported stress levels above the clinical threshold. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: instrumental music therapy, vocal music therapy, or a no-intervention control. Each intervention group received 30-minute music therapy sessions three times per week for four weeks. Serum beta-endorphin levels were measured pre- and post-intervention using ELISA assays. Subjective stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Both instrumental and vocal music therapy groups showed significant increases in beta-endorphin levels compared to the control (p < 0.01), alongside marked reductions in PSS scores (p < 0.001). Vocal therapy demonstrated a slightly higher effect size. Instrumental and vocal music therapy significantly enhance beta-endorphin secretion and reduce perceived stress, suggesting their utility as complementary interventions in stress management protocols.
