Metode Story Telling dan Role Play untuk Reduksi Stress ADHA (Story Telling and Role Play Methods for ADHA Stress Reduction)

Children with HIV/AIDS (ADHA) tend to be affected by social discrimination from the environment in which they live. The social discrimination experienced is always repeated. This is because ADHA are often ostracized, often receive negative stigma, and are often neglected. This social discrimination makes ADHA feel easily stressed. Therefore, efforts are needed to overcome the stress problems experienced by ADHA. Efforts that can be made include using the story telling method and role playing. The novelty of this research lies in the use of story telling and role play methods in an integrated manner. This research aims to determine the extent to which story telling and role playing treatment can reduce stress in HIV/AIDS children in Tulungagung Regency.
