Mental Retardation is a condition in which the intelegency function is under average, which began during the developmental period. Children with mentally retarded have limited mental function, communication skills, ability to maintain themselves and social skills. These conditions impact the mothes’s they responsible to train children’s ability to be independent. The purpose of this study is to explore the mothers’ experience having children with mental retardation at Special School for mentally retarded (SLB) of Karya Ibu Palembang, Indonesia. This is a qualitative research with fenomenology approach from five partisipants with indept interview. Five themes were get including can’t accept reality, burden, the social stigma,need support from relatives, worry about the future, and admitting God’s will. The Adaptation behaviors found in this study are the acceptance of children’s condition, and loving the children thoroughly.

Every family wants all members of the family can grow and develop normally, especially children, but sometimes can not be obtained by families who have a child born with retardation mental. They feel that children with disabilities / mental retardation is a family disgrace, it is because of ignorance of families with children with mental retardation and problems the lack of information obtained. Some 15 % of the Inhabiting number of the world, or approximately the as many as one billion people, is people with disability. Based on random survey conducted by the ministry of social affairs of Indonesia in 1978 the population of disabled people is 3,11 % of the population in Indonesia. While the who data in 2004 estimated that the population of disabled people 10 percent of the total population of Indonesia. Data collection about the total number of voters and the population data collection about the total number of voters of disabled people in 2004 general election which conveyed by the central bureau of Statistics Government, based on survey 309.146 as many as a blind person around, 192. 207 deaf, 178.870 mentally retardation 94.423 defect and other. The data are still need the data collection system that carefull, it impeded because of factors; ignorance family and community to the issue of disability, culture of family, the stigma of the community, isolation from family, over protected, discrimination, low priority support This study aimed to get an overview of family support in the care of mentally retarded children at SLB (Special Need Education) Padangsidimpuan, Indonesia. This study used a descriptive design, samples were taken with total sampling method ( group samples are 100 family with mentally retardation and 49 children with mental retardation) and instruments used in the form of a questionnaire. Data processed by the system computerization in the frequency distribution table and percentages. Data collection was conducted on 12 July until 30 July 2011. Test reliability This research at 0.7245 by using kr 21. From research obtained good results family support as many (74%), which consists of support information (72%), support of assessment (81%), instrumental support (67%), and emotional support (74%). Family support is very important in caring for retarded children, and to increase the sense of self confidence retarded child mental. The results of this study are expected to assist nurses in providing information on family support in caring for children mental retardation.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability (ID) and a leading cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). FXS is caused by an expansion of CGG repeats >200 in the 5′ untranslated region of the promotor region fragile X mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1), which is located on Xq27.3. The abnormal CGG expansion leads to methylation and transcriptional silencing of the FMR1 gene, resulting in a reduction or loss of fragile X mental retardation 1 protein (FMRP) and causes long, thin, and immature dendritic spines, which lead to deficits in cognitive function, behavioral problems, and learning ability

In Indonesia an estimated incidence rate of severe mental retardation approximately 0,3% of the entire population, and almost 3% had an IQ value below 70. As a human resources they can not be used, because 0,1% of these children require care, guidance and supervision throughout his life. Because unknown children level of independence in activities of daily living based on the degree of mental retardation then he study was aimed to know the relationship of the degree of mental retardation and ability of daily living activities. This study used cross sectional design. The population was 37 people with using total sampling, then using secondary and primary data are processed in a univariabel and bivariabel. This study was conducted in 2017 at SLB Bengkulu Province. The results showed that most of the 37,8% has a severe degree of mental retardation, and most of the 51,4% children with mental retardation have an inability to carry out activity of daily living. The results of bivariabel analysis by chi-square test found that p=0,005, a significant relationship between the degree of mental retardation and ability of daily living activities. In addition to special education in school children with mental retardation should also be trained and guided by parents in carry out activities of daily living to be independent and adapt to daily life without assistance.

Mental retardation is a condition in which the child so that the child can not experience barriers through optimal development. Mental retardation is a global problem with major implications particularly for developing countries. Number of children with special needs in Indonesia is about 7% of the total number of children aged 0-18 years or a total of 6.23 million. In children with mental retardation learning process more focused on activities to train children with skills to enable them to function in an environment sosial. This study to determine the effect of Puzzle Play Against Social Adaptability on Mental Retardation Students in SDLB Dharma Women in Bengkulu. This research method using a research design Pre Exsperimental Design with draft form one group pretest-posttest, way of taking a sample is taken using total sampling with a sample of 12 respondents. used in this study are primary data, the data acquired, processed and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis using T. Test The results showed that the average number of children who have mental retardation prior to the puzzle game has a social adaptation unfavorable and the average number of children who have mental retardation after doing a puzzle game has a social adaptation good enough and no effect between playing puzzle to adaptability social in students with mental retardation in SDLB Dharma Women in Bengkulu City 2017 (p = 0.004). Suggested to the health public expected to make efforts to improve the health of children with mental retardation by performing group therapies in children with mental retardation regularly by medical personnel trained in the art so that the social problems of children with mental retardation can be minimized.

Prevalensi retardasi mental diperkirakan 1-3 persen dari populasi penduduk Indonesia. Sebagai sumber daya manusia tentunya mereka tidak dapat dimanfaatkan, karena sebagian dari anak-anak ini memerlukan perawatan, bimbingan serta pengawasan seumur hidup. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan spiritualitas orang tua terhadap perilaku adaptif anak retardasi mental di SLB. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptifkorelasi, sampel diambil dengan metode total sampling dan instrument yang digunakan berupa kuesioner. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada bulan Maret–April 2015. Uji realibitas penelitian ini sebesar 0,852 untuk kuesioner spiritualitas orang tua 0,925 untuk perilaku adaptif anak retardasi mental. Dari penelitian diperoleh hasil sebanyak 30 orang tua (100%) memiliki spiritualitas yang tinggi dan sebanyak 22 orang (73,3%) menunjukkan perilaku adaptif anak retardasi mental baik. Dengan menggunakan Uji korelasi menggunakan spearman rho dan menunjukkan nilai p pada kolom sig 2 tailed sebesar 0,004. Hal ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara spiritualitas orang tua terhadap perilaku adaptif anak retardasi mental dengan kekuatan hubungan cukup kuat. Mental Retardation Prevalence is estimated to be 1-3 percent of Indonesian population. As human resources, these people cannot be utilized since some of them need treatment expense, guidance and lifetime surveillance. This research aimed to find the parents’ spiritual relationship towards adaptive behavior of child’s mental retardation in special education school. This research used descriptive correlational design, the sample was taken using total sampling method and the research instrument was using questionnaire. The data collection was conducted in March-April 2015. The reliability tests of this research were 0.852 for parents’ spirituality questionnaire and 0.925 adaptive behavior of child’s mental retardation. From the research, the results were 30 parents (100%) with high spirituality and 22 people (73.3%) showing good adaptive behavior of child’s mental retardation. With correlation test using Spearman rho and showing p-value in the column, the sig 2 tailed was 0.004. It could be concluded that there was a correlation between parents’ spirituality towards adaptive behavior of child’s mental retardation and a strong bond between the parents and child.

Retardasi mental merupakan kondisi yang mengalami keterlambatan perkembangan dimulai pada masa anak, ditandai kemampuan kognitif di bawah normal dan terdapat kendala pada perilaku adaptif sosial. Masalah yang diakibatkan karena retardasi mental yaitu cara berfikirnya terlalu sederhana atau mengalami keterlambatan dalam berfikir dan menulis sehingga dalam bidang akademik sangat lemah, anak retardasi mental juga memiliki permasalahan pada aspek motorik halusnya. Banyak metode yang dapat diberikan pada anak retardasi mental seperti senam otak melalui gerakan arm activation da terapi kolase. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efektifitas senam otak melalui gerakan arm activation dibandingkan terapi kolase terhadap motorik halus pada anak retardasi mental. Rancangan penelitian ini menggunakan quasy experiment dengan desain penelitian two group pre-post test design. Uji statistik yang digunakan adalah uji Wilcoxon dan untuk mengetahui perbedaan efektifitas menggunakan uji Mann-Whitney. Hasil uji statistik didapatkan hasil p value 0.000 (p>0.05) hal ini dapat disimpulkan terapi kolase lebih efektif dari pada pemberian senam otak melalui gerakan arm activation terhadap motorik halus pada anak retardasi mental di SLB Negeri Ungaran. Diharapkan peneliti selanjutnya bisa memodifikasi pada prosedur terapi kolase untuk meningkatan motorik halus anak retardasi mental. Kata kunci : senam otak, arm activation, terapi kolase, motorik halus, anak retardasi mental THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BRAIN GYM THROUGH ARM ACTIVATION MOVEMENT COMPARED TO KOLASE THERAPY ON FINE MOTORIC IN CHILDREN WITH MENTAL RETARDATION ABSTRACTMental retardation is a condition when someone is experiencing a retarded development which starts from the children period that is characterized by below normal cognitive abilities and constraints on social adaptive behavior. The prevalence of mental retardation in Indonesia is 5.250.000 people suffering from mental retardation. Problems caused by mental retardation are the way of thinking that is too simple or experiencing a retardation in thinking and writing that it makes someone poor in academics. Also, a child with mental retardation has a problem in the fine motoric aspect. Many methods can be given to children with mental retardation such as a brain gym through arm activation movement and kolase therapy. The study aims at determining the effectiveness of the brain gym through arm activation movement compared to kolase therapy on fine motoric in children with mental retardation. The study uses quasy experiment with two group pre-post test research design. The statistical test used is Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney test to determine the difference of the effectiveness. The statistical test result in p value 0,000 (p>0,05). It can be concluded that kolase therapy is more effective than the brain gym through arm activation movement on the fine motoric in children with mental retardation at SLB Negeri Ungaran. it is suggested to the next researcher to modify the procedure of the kolase therapy to improve the fine motoric of the children with mental retardation.

Coping mechanisms in the elderly include adaptive and maladaptive coping. Adaptive coping can help a person to deal effectively with stressful events and minimize the problems they experience. While maladaptive coping causes stress for individuals and families. According to the Extraordinary School Statistics Data in 2015 West Java ranked first with the most mental retardation children in Indonesia. To find out the relationship of coping mechanisms with the stress level of parents in children who have mental retardation in Bogor City. This type of research is quantitative analytic. This research was conducted in the Bogor City Region with a sample of 35 children using a total sampling technique. The instruments used were questionnaires while the data analysis techniques were using univariate and bivariate analyzes. Based on the statistical test using the chi square obtained P value = 0.955, it was concluded that Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected, meaning there is no relationship between coping mechanisms with stress levels of parents towards mental retradation children in BogorCity.

The study aims to describe the forms of basic vocabulary sound pronunciation and the factors that influence the side of mild mental retardation children are not able to pronounce the sounds of the language. Data in the form of pronunciation of speech sounds on the basic vocabulary of Indonesian language sourced from Sisi with mild mental retardation children were collected by observation method with fishing, recording, and recording techniques. The data in the form of information about the factors behind them are from parents and the teacher is collected by using in-depth interviewing with recording and recording techniques. The data that has been classified is analyzed by phonetic articulatory matching method and qualitative descriptive method. The results show that the pronunciation of Sisi in pronouncing vowels and diphthongs can be said to be influenced by the Javanese language, because Sisi's parents are Javanese. On the pronunciation of the consonant sound, Sisi experiences an inability to recite. The inability of the Side to pronounce consonant sounds is influenced by health factors. The sides experience language brain damage which results in a communication process disturbance, coupled with the Sisi speech tool condition which is a slightly larger and thicker tongue which has an impact on the production of the language sounds produced and results in phonetic disturbances.

The Indonesian archipelago comprises more than 17,000 islands, inhabited by ~200 million people constituting more than 350 recognizable ethnic and tribal groups which can be classified into two broad ethno-linguistic groups [the Austronesian (AN) and non-Austronesian (NAN) speaking peoples] and 3 physical anthropology groups (Deutero Malay, Proto Malay and Papuan). The origins of these groups are of considerable anthropological interest. The anthropology of Indonesia is extremely complex and still controversial. The present populations of Indonesia show very great diversity. The data presented below result from an investigation of the Fragile X A syndrome and the size and distribution of alleles at fragile sites on the X chromosome among Javanese males with developmental disability (DD) and unselected males from 10 major Indonesian ethnic groups. The Fragile X syndrome is caused by expansion of a CGG trinucleotide repeat array in the 5' untranslated region of the FMR-1 gene at Xq27.3. Normal X chromosomes have between 6-54 CGG trinucleotide repeats, whereas premutation alleles have 55-230 and full mutation alleles more than 230 repeats. In a study of predominantly Caucasian males with intellectual disability, the prevalence of Fragile X syndrome is estimated to be approximately 1:4,000. FRAXE mental retardation syndrome is caused by an expansion of a GCC trinucleotide repeat in the 5'UTR of FMR2 gene located 600 kb telomeric to FMR1. The prevalence of FMR2 is 1-2 per 100,000 live births. FMR2 common alleles consist of 11-30 GGC repeats; intermediate alleles between 31-60 GCC repeats; premutation alleles with 61-200 repeats and full mutation alleles have over 200 repeats with attendant methylation of the repeat array The first Indonesian screening program aimed at determining the presence and prevalence of fragile XA syndrome among individuals with mild DD (IQ above 50) from special schools (N=205) and isolated areas (N=50) of Java was undertaken in 1994-1996 by cytogenetic and molecular studies. In this first study 4 fragile X positive children were found among 255 males with DD. The estimated prevalence of fragile-X in males with mild DD from special schools was 1.95% (5/205) and the overall prevalence was 1.57% (4/255). The number of trinucleotide repeats in the 5' untranslated regions of the FMR1 and FMR2 genes were determined by PCR in 254 Fragile XA-negative Javanese male children with DD. The distribution of FMR1 and FMR2 trinucleotide repeat alleles was found to be significantly different in the Indonesian population with DD compared to that in equivalent Caucasian populations. The trimodal distribution of Indonesian FMR1 alleles (29, 30 and 36 repeats) is largely in agreement with findings from other Asian populations). This provides supportive evidence that the origin of Indonesians could be the same as that of the Chinese and Japanese. Sequence analysis was performed on the trinucleotide repeat arrays of the 27 individuals' FMR1 alleles in the 'grey zone' (35-52 repeats). The identification of 16 unrelated individuals with a (CGG)36 allele that also contains a (CGG)6 segment [(CGG)9AGG(CGG)9AGG(CGG)6 AGG(CGG)9 or 9A9A6A9 pattern] is in agreement with earlier observations in the Japanese population. It is proposed that this FMR1 array pattern may be specific for Asian populations and that Javanese and Japanese populations may have arisen from a single progenitor population. The presence of pure 25, 33 and 34 CGGs in FMR1 alleles with 36, 44 and 45 repeats respectively, suggests that these may represent alleles at high risk for instability and may therefore be at early stages of expansion to a premutation. The lack of the characteristic (CGG)6 in all three alleles with ?? 25 pure CGG arrays suggests that the most common Asian 36 repeat allele is not predisposed to slippage expansion. Seven of the 8 alleles with 36 CGG repeats could be sequenced. Seven of 36 CGG repeats FMR1 alleles from the Hiri population has been sequenced and 4 alleles indicated 9A9A6A9 pattern, 1 sample with 10A25 pattern Two of the remaining alleles showed 12A6A6A9 structure, which consisted of a tandem duplication of the (CGG)6 segment. The presence of a tandem duplication of (CGG)6 segments has never been reported in any other population. The other major findings of this study are that FRAXE syndrome is a rare cause of developmental disability in this predominantly-Javanese population. The most common FMR2 (GCC)20 allele in this selected Asian population is significantly longer than that previously reported for Caucasian populations. There was a weak correlation between the overall length of the FMR1 and FMR2 repeat arrays within the normal range (Spearman's Rank Correlation = 0.130, p-value=0.042) in the Indonesian population, which have been no previous associations reported for alleles within the normal range. One approach to studying the origins of the human populations is to study the genetic structure of polymorphic alleles such as those at the FMR1 locus and its linked microsatellite markers DXS548 and FRAXAC1. Length polymorphisms of the FMR1 gene (CGG)n repeat array, DXS548 and FRAXAC1 were studied in a total of 1,008 unselected males from 10 different Indonesian ethnic groups. FMR1 alleles were identified ranging from 8 to 57 CGG repeats. The most common CGG repeat allele was 29 (45.6%) followed by 30 (27.4%) and 36 repeats (8.0%). One hundred and forty four grey zone (3-52 CGG) alleles were found in the study population. Four people of the same ethnic group from an isolated island in Eastern Indonesia (Hiri, Ternate), a representative of the NAN ethnolinguistic group, had CGG repeat lengths of 55-57. The prevalence of these alleles is estimated to be 3.3% (4/120) in the population of Hiri or 0.4% (4/1008) of whole Indonesian population. Thirteen different alleles were found at the DXS548 locus, of which allele numbers 7 [194 bp] (44.1%), 6.5 [195bp] (43.5%) and 6 [196bp] (7.5%) are the most common. Seven rare alleles, some of which have not been previously found in Asian peoples were also identified (190, 191,192, 193, 197,198, 199, 202, 204 and 206) and accounted for 3.9% of the total. The odd number alleles were dominantly found in this study whereas almost none found in Caucasian. The finding of many "odd numbered" alleles DXS548 has never been found in other Asian population and has only been documented extremely rarely in Caucasians and Africans. Five different alleles of FRAXAC1 identified with alleles D [106 bp] (62.2%) and C [108bp] (35.6%) accounting for 97.8% of FRAXAC1 alleles in the population. Three rare alleles (104, 110, 112 bp = 2.2%) were identified that have not been previously found in other Asian populations (1-3). There is a striking linkage disequilibrium of FMR1 alleles with FRAXAC1 (p=0.0001), 88% of 29 (CGG)n repeats alleles associated with FRAXAC1 allele D (106bp) versus only 17% with the 30 (CGG)n repeat alleles, which is in agreement with other studies. The value of D' was calculated to be 0.7. The longer alleles of both DXS548 and FRAXAC1 were found mostly in the NAN ethnolinguistic group. Moreover the Irian Jaya people also showed a higher percentage of people with 30 CGG repeats and the 108 bp FRAXAC1. The Eastern Indonesian NAN groups demonstrate a different genetic background probably due to the contribution of Melanesian peoples. The Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) identified that the vast majority of genetic diversity occurs within, rather than between, ethnic groups. These data are consistent with a model where there is sufficient migration (~20 per generation) between populations to minimise differentiation of population through genetic drift. The results obtained are consistent with three clusters of populations that share similar allele frequencies at the fragile X locus. The most clearly defined cluster is based in the east of Indonesia and includes the two Irian populations, Minahasans and Hiri. A surprising finding was that the Minahasan who are Deutero-Malay in origin and physical appearance are genetically closer to the Irianese. This may reflect the admixture of Melanesian alleles or other eastern Indonesian alleles as a result of their geographic location in that part of Indonesia. The second major cluster is largely based in the west of the country and is composed of the following Deutero-Malay populations; Javanese, Balinese, Acehnese but which also includes people from Ternate (not including those from Hiri). Using Delta Mu and Nei's genetic distance for FMR1 locus in this study the Javanese were shown to have the closest distance to Balinese which is consistent with anthropological data and with published data. The third group is a "western and central" group composed of Bimanese, Dayak and Sundanese who share some features of the western and eastern clusters but mostly resemble the western Indonesian populations. Bima is located in the lesser Sunda in between west Indonesia and east Indonesia. The Bimanese are of mixed Deutero & Proto Malay origin that is consistent with their geographic location. The Bataks are distinctive and sit somewhat apart in this scheme. In this study, Bataks were found not to resemble the other Proto-Malay group studied (the Dayak). The Dayaks were found to have fewer alleles than the Bataks at FRAXAC1 and DXS548. In all four methods of calculating genetic distance Bataks showed a large genetic distance to almost all other ethnic groups. There are differences in allele frequency between east and west Indonesia as well as other Asian nations, but the genetic similarities between these groups are also very impressive. The findings from this study are consistent with other genetic anthropological evidence that the people of Indonesia have the same origin as North-east Asian groups. This model is referred to as the "express train from Taiwan" in which the Austronesian speakers are proposed to have radiated from Taiwan bringing the Malayo-Polynesian language group to the Philippines, Borneo and Sulawesi around 5000-4500 B.P.E. However Richards et al.(1998) have used the diversity in the mtDNA D Loop to propose an alternative to the "express train" model. The "two train7quot; model proposes that the Austronesian languages originated within eastern Indonesia during the Pleistocene era and spread through Melanesia and into the remote Pacific within the past 6,000 years. Unfortunately the high migration rates between population groups that were demonstrated in this thesis and the known migration patterns of populations through Indonesia preclude determining whether the observed allelic heterogeneity is a function of the original population or due to the admixture of several gene pools in more recent times.
