The targets in this study were school-age children in RW 08 Krajan Hamlet, Sukorambi Village, Jember Regency. The program provided health education, a demonstration of hand washing and tooth brushing, a group therapy quiz, and child empowerment through drawing activities. The analysis results showed an increase in children's knowledge and behavior in four main indicators after the intervention was given. Knowledge about diarrhea increased from 22.7% to 82%, proper tooth brushing from 18.2% to 50%, healthy snack consumption from 18.2% to 68.2%, and hand washing behavior from 27.3% to 81.8%. Wilcoxon test showed that all differences before and after the intervention were significant (p &lt; 0.05). These results indicate that the GEMBIRA program is effective in improving the understanding and behavior of PHBS in children. The continuation of the health education program is expected to be a preventive measure to improve the quality of health of school-age children.</p> Idfiana Hilmi, Riza Rohmatul Maulidia, Tantut Susanto, Yuyus Febsyna Copyright (c) 2025 Caring : Jurnal Keperawatan https://e-journal.poltekkesjogja.ac.id/index.php/caring/article/view/2814 Wed, 06 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700 The Effect of Religious Music Therapy on Reducing the Degree of Menstrual Pain in Adolescent Girls https://e-journal.poltekkesjogja.ac.id/index.php/caring/article/view/2784 <p>Human growth and development into adulthood undergo a stage called puberty.
