When Are Children Ready For School?<\/a><\/h3>
Many parents think that the only aspect a child needs to enter primary school is the cognitive aspect which includes the ability to write, read and count and being able to send their child to primary school (SD) at the age of 6 is extraordinary. Of course, we often see this, don't we? if this is still the main reference for determining children's school readiness, then it is very unfortunate.\nIn the daily practice of psychologists, it is often found that parents complain that children cannot be released from studying on their own when they enter elementary school, they still look like kindergarten children who need help to organize clothes and school supplies, they still need to be waited on to complete homework, there are still children who are shy and afraid to say to go to the restroom, some even wet their pants in class, and many more.\nSeeing this, it turns out that preparing children to enter elementary school does not only focus on cognitive aspects, but considers other aspects. \n\n ASPECTS OF SCHOOL READINESS IN CHILDREN\n• Motoric aspects: skills that involve coordination of physical movements, including gross and fine motor skills\n• Cognitive aspect: thinking ability, such as remembering, capturing information\n• Social-emotional aspect: skills in regulating emotions and interacting with the social environment\n• Aspect of independence: try to do it yourself without asking for help from others \n\n An example of a case regarding school readiness in children occurred with Alina (disguised). At the age of 5 years and 10 months, Alina can already read, count and write words. However, other abilities, such as concentration, endurance, emotional regulation, and independence are still not well seen. When you have a wish, it must be fulfilled, otherwise it can hurt others (hitting, kicking).\nThe behavior that occurs in Alina can become an obstacle if the child enters elementary school (SD). Therefore, these aspects must be optimized in advance so that children are truly ready for school. \n\n WHEN IS THE RIGHT AGE TO ENTER CHILDREN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?\nRegarding when children enter school, new children are required to continue their education at the elementary level at the age of 7, because at that age children are considered mature.\nThis is in accordance with Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System article 6 paragraph (1) which reads: "Every citizen aged seven to fifteen is obliged to attend basic education." \n\n Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 51 of 2018 concerning Acceptance of New Students which states that the requirements for prospective new students in grade 1 (one) SD are 7 or at least 6 years old on July 1 of the current year except for the minimum age requirement of 5 years 6 months on July 1 running which is intended for prospective students who have potential intelligence or special talents and psychological readiness as evidenced by written recommendations from professional psychologists and not carried out by teachers.\nPiaget, in his theory of development at the age of 7 years, children's cognitive development is at the concrete operational level and begins to use mental operations and think to solve a problem. At the concrete operational level, children are able to:\n• Doing more than one aspect of a given task or set of tasks\n• Classifying an object into a group or sub-group\n• Remember and think logically\n• Make statements with consideration\n• Doing spatial learning related to space \n\n However, many parents enroll their children in Play Groups from an early age (around 2-3 years old), then proceed to Kindergarten (TK) so that when their children are 5 years old, parents feel worried and think that their children are too old if they have not been included. to SD.\nEven if the child is still or is under the age of 5 years, it is better for parents to consider it first and re-check whether the child's ability in all aspects of his development is really mature to continue his education to elementary school. Don't let parents feel that their child's school readiness is ripe, but in reality there are still aspects that need to be re-optimized for children.\nSCHOOL READINESS TEST FOR CHILDREN\n A readiness test for entering elementary school needs to be done to determine maturity in children by conducting assessments in the several aspects previously mentioned.\nThis can be done with professional assistance from a psychologist who will interview parents regarding child development, information from teachers in kindergarten, and direct observation and interaction with children. \n\n \n In addition, intelligence tests can also be carried out to determine the cognitive abilities of children. Thus, later from the readiness test to enter SD, information can be obtained regarding the child's self-development and recommendations whether the child can be said to be mature to continue his education to the SD level or not.\nIn general, children are mature or ready for school at the age of 6 or 7 years. Except for children who have problems, such as cognitive barriers, developmental problems, or so on, they need to get special treatment first.\nHowever, you also need to know that individually the level of maturity in children is of course different. This can be affected by: \n \n\n \n • Age\n• Level of cognitive abilities\n• Temperament\n• Parenting patterns\n• How children learn\n• Emotional maturity\n• Surrounding environmental factors\nAssessment of all aspects of the readiness test for entering elementary school is very necessary so that not only one aspect is assessed. If a child is said to be mature/ready to enter elementary school, but there are still notes regarding a number of aspects that are not yet mature/ready, then parents need to work with the school to optimize those aspects that are still lacking.\nFor example, if the independence aspect of the child is still not ready, then the task for the parents at home is to provide a role for the child to be independent by giving him daily tasks at home, such as carrying the dirty clothes of all family members to the laundry basket every day.\nThis can become a habit that fosters independence and responsibility in children. While at school, teachers can also assign roles to children in class, for example being in charge of leading prayers in the morning. That way the child's school readiness can be more mature. \n\n\n \n \n WHAT SHOULD PARENTS DO? \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n From an early age, parents really need to pay attention to aspects of child development and determine learning that is appropriate to the age, potential and abilities of the child.\nThat way, children can feel that learning is fun and interesting, just like playing activities. In addition, children can also be better prepared from all aspects to go to school when they are old enough.\nOn the other hand, you shouldn't always serve your child until he can't do anything because he's used to being helped. Teach children to start being independent so that children's dependence on parents is reduced.\nParents must also be prepared to let their children go to school. If you are afraid to let your children go to school or are not responsible for it, it means that you are not ready to send your children to school.\nSo, when your child is showing signs of school readiness and is old enough, make sure you are also ready to let him go to school. In addition, carefully plan the preparation for entering elementary school, for example, school location, school fees, or learning curriculum \n\n REFERENCE :\nFaqumala, DA & Pranoto, YKS (2020).

The most common causes are vomiting and diarrhea. Dehydration is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in infants and children worldwide. Every year around 760,000 children are affected by diarrheal disease worldwide. Most cases of dehydration in children are the result of acute gastroenteritis.\n\nAcute gastroenteritis in the United States is usually contagious. Based on the cause, viral infections, including rotavirus, norovirus, and enterovirus, cause 75 to 90 percent of cases of infectious diarrhea. Bacterial pathogens cause less than 20 percent of cases. Common bacterial culprits include Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli. About 10 percent of bacterial diseases occur secondary to diarrheagenic Escherichia coli. Parasites such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium account for less than 5 percent of cases. \n\n Various signs and symptoms may appear depending on the degree of dehydration of the patient. Dehydration was categorized as mild (3% to 5%), moderate (6% to 10%), and severe (more than 10%). Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, fever, decreased oral intake, inability to keep up with ongoing fluid losses, decreased urine output, continued lethargy, and hypovolemic shock.\nMild Dehydration, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends oral rehydration for patients with mild dehydration. A breastfed baby should continue to suckle. Liquids with a high sugar content can make diarrhea worse and should be avoided. Children can be fed age-appropriate foods frequently but in small amounts.\n\nModerate Dehydration, according to The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report recommends giving 50 mL to 100 mL of oral rehydration solution per kilogram of body weight over two to four hours to replace the estimated fluid deficit, with additional oral rehydration solution, which is given to replace lost fluids. ongoing.\n\nSeverely Dehydrated Patients who are severely dehydrated may experience altered mental status, lethargy, tachycardia, hypotension, signs of poor perfusion, weak thread pulses, and delayed capillary refill. Intravenous fluids, starting with a 20 ml/kg bolus of normal saline is required. Several boluses may be needed for children in hypovolemic shock. Additional priorities include obtaining glucose, electrolyte, and urinalysis tests. \n\n To prevent dehydration, make sure that there is enough fluid in the body, during sahur and breaking the fast, drink plenty of water according to the child's fluid needs. Increasing fluid intake for each child, parents must have more sensitivity if the child has started asking for a drink continuously. Prepare snacks and drinks during the trip back and forth, prepare practical fruits such as oranges, apples or peer.

Tuberculosis (TBC) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB), which generally affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but this bacterium also has the ability to infect other organs (extrapulmonary TB). Mycobacterium tuberculosis is rod-shaped, resistant to sour, dies with sunlight. \n\n Here are some ways to prevent Tuberculosis (TBC), namely: \n\n • Prevent TB Transmission \n\n • Healing the sick \n\n • Apply cough etiquette \n\n • Maintain cleanliness, do not spit/phlegm carelessly \n\n • Room / house with good air circulation and sunlight can enter \n\n There are 3 factors that determine the spread of M.TB bacteria, namely: \n\n 1. The number of organisms released into the air \n\n 2. The concentration of organisms in the air, determined by the volume of space and ventilation \n\n 3. Long time a person breathes contaminated air\n\n \n\n Then, one cough can produce up to 3,000 droplets and one sneeze can produce up to 1 million droplets. Meanwhile, the dose needed for a TB infection is 1 to 10 bacilli.\n\n \n\n Tuberculosis (TB) is not transmitted through: \n\n 1. Cutlery : Washed thoroughly with soap \n\n 2. Clothes: Washed with soap and ironed \n\n 3. Mattress: The room must be exposed to sunlight and the mattress is routinely dried in the sun\n \n\n Several things can prevent tuberculosis (TB), including: \n\n • Get regular exercise \n\n • Eat nutritious food \n\n • BCG immunization in infants \n\n • Do not smoke \n\n • TB preventive treatment \n\n \n \n\n The following people are at high risk of developing tuberculosis (TB), namely: \n\n 1. Children \n\n 2. People with HIV/AIDS \n\n 3. Elderly people \n\n 4. People with diabetes mellitus \n\n 5. Smokers \n\n 6. Close contact or household contact with tuberculosis (TB) patients\n \n\n Symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), namely: \n\n 1. Cough > 2 weeks \n\n 2. Cough with phlegm \n\n 3. Coughing up phlegm can be mixed with blood \n\n 4. May be accompanied by chest pain \n\n 5. Shortness of breath\n \n\n Other symptoms include: \n\n Weakness, Weight loss, Decreased appetite, Chills, Fever, Sweats at night.\n \n\n Following is the diagnosis of Tuberculosis (TBC), namely: \n\n • CLINICAL SYMPTOMS \n\n • BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION or MANTOUX TEST IN CHILDREN \n\n • Can be added with: \n\n • X-ray examination \n\n • BLOOD EXAMINATION \n\n \n\n Treatment of Tuberculosis (TBC), namely: \n\n DRUG SENSITIVE TB \n\n § Treatment using a combination of 4 kinds of drugs \n\n § Treatment duration is 6 months \n\n § Divided into 2 phases, namely the intensive phase / initial phase and advanced phase \n\n § Intensive phase / initial phase for 2 months \n\n § Follow-up phase for 4 months\n \n\n DRUG RESISTANT TB \n\n § Treatment using a combination of 5-7 kinds of drugs \n\n § Duration of treatment 9-20 months \n\n § Divided into 2 phases, namely the intensive phase / initial phase and advanced phase \n\n § Intensive phase / initial phase for 4-8 months \n\n § Continuation phase for 5-12 months \n\n \n\n If Hermina's friend wants to consult regarding pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) or has other complaints with a pulmonary specialist, for further information, along with schedules and registration, please call 0821-3552-2454.\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Know About EEG Examination (Electroencephalography)<\/a><\/h3>
disorders, which affect the electricity in the brain. For this reason, the results of an electroencephalography examination can show abnormal electrical activity which could be an indication of a disturbance in the patient's brain and nerves. This EEG tool is a diagnostic support, so it is complementary to a specialist doctor's examination according to the disease. \n\n \n\n The following are some diseases that can be detected through Electroencephalography, which include: \n\n \n Brain damage due to injury to the brain \n Epilepsy \n Complications of stroke \n Sleep disorders \n Brain tumor or cancer \n Personality disorder \n Disorders of child development \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n In addition, EEG (Electroencephalography) examinations are generally performed in other conditions with a specific purpose, which can help find the right level of anesthesia in a person while in a coma, and can act as an indicator of brain death. \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n There are several procedures before an EEG (Electroencephalography) TEST examination is carried out, such as: \n\n l Inform any drugs consumed \n\n l Do not eat or drink anything containing caffeine 8-12 hours before the test \n\n l Do not fast, because it will affect the results of the examination if the blood sugar level is low \n\n l Before doing an EEG (Electroencephalography) Test, make sure you have consulted with a Neurologist \n\n \n\n In an EEG (Electroencephalography) examination, the procedure involves placing electrodes on the scalp to record electrical activity in various places on the head. During the process, brain activity will be recorded on a piece of paper called an encephalogram. During the examination, the patient is asked to lie down and remain calm. Some patients perform EEG procedures while the patient is asleep because some abnormally detected brain waves will only be seen when the patient is sleeping. \n\n \n\n After the EEG (Electroencephalography) is complete and the medical team has received the results of the brain record, the electrodes will be removed from the head. Then at the point where the electrodes were installed, there may be redness or irritation of the scalp. But don't worry, this is normal and usually goes away. In this EEG test, the patient may feel dizzy and tingling in the lips and fingers in several parts after the examination is carried out. If this condition is quite disturbing, you should consult a Neurologist. \n\n \n\n For Friends of Hermina who have complaints or want to consult regarding the EEG (Electroencephalography) TEST examination, for further information, please call 0821-3552-2454. \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get to know Spirometry<\/a><\/h3>
\n What is spirometry?\nSpirometry examination is a test that aims to assess lung function. This examination assesses the amount of air that can be inhaled and exhaled by the lungs in units of milliliter volume, as well as the velocity of pulmonary airflow in units of milliliters per second. The examination is carried out by inhaling and exhaling through the mouthpiece (not through the nose).\n\n\nBenefits of spirometry examination?\nThe amount of volume produced can be used to assess lung health whether there are impaired lung expansion, obstruction in the airway or normal. In addition, spirometry can also be used as a supporting tool in diagnosing respiratory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, and other lung diseases. Another advantage of spirometry is that it is used to evaluate the preparation for certain surgeries and also as part of a general medical check-up. \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n Preparation\nThings that must be considered before carrying out a spirometry examination, the person to be examined is instructed not to smoke and consume alcoholic beverages, at least 24 hours beforehand. The person being examined is advised to wear loose clothing and avoid heavy meals before the examination so that the examination is comfortable and the measurements produced reflect the actual condition.\n\n\nHow to check\nSpirometry examination consists of two maneuvers. The first maneuver assesses the amount of air that the lungs can inhale and exhale. Through the mouthpiece, the person being examined is instructed to inhale as deeply as possible, then exhale until they run out. the second maneuver assesses pulmonary airflow velocity. The person being examined will be asked to take a deep breath, then exhale as quickly and forcefully as possible. Both of these maneuvers are performed three times each to get good results and meet the requirements.\n\n\nIndication\nIndications for spirometry are coughing, feeling of heaviness in the chest, and tightness. If you feel breathing problems like that, immediately consult our pulmonary specialist at Hermina Surakarta Hospital. The specialist will examine your condition and, if needed, will carry out a series of tests, one of which is spirometry, to be able to provide the right therapy according to your condition. \n\n \n\n Spirometry risks\nSome side effects can occur during or after a spirometry test, such as:\nFeeling slightly dizzy or short of breath immediately after taking the test. If this happens, be sure to stop the test immediately and tell your doctor how you feel.\n A spirometry test will increase the pressure in your head, chest, stomach and eyes, when you exhale. Therefore, be sure to tell your doctor if you have certain health problems. For example, such as heart problems, hypertension, or if you have had surgery on your chest, stomach, head, or eyes.\n\n\nIf Hermina Friends want to consult regarding spirometry examinations or have other complaints with a Pulmonary Specialist, for schedules and registration, you can call 0821-3552-2454. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
