Keywords:
flood, play therapy, psychological first aidAbstract
Floods in Payaman Village, especially Karanganyar Hamlet at the end of 2022 and early 2023
(December 31 2022 to January 2, 2023) had an impact on infrastructure, materials, and the
conditions of the people in the area. Data from the Kudus Disaster Management Agency (BPBD)
found that the floods affected 246 hectares of paddy fields, 310 families (KK) with details of
1,190 people, while the victims who were displaced were 14 families with details of 33 people
consisting of 10 adults, 8 elderly, 4 toddlers, and 11 children. The hit flood caused the emergence
of problems. The situation resulted not only material losses but also mental health problems of
those who stayed in refugee camps. Hence, the Faculty of Psychology, Muria Kudus University
(UMK) in collaboration with Payaman Village carried out Psychological First Aid (PFA)
activities for adult refugees and play therapy for children in refugee camps. This activity
included the fourth phase of disaster management, namely post-disaster recovery, which was
carried out one day on January 9, 2023. This program helped children to be happier and more
active in moving. Likewise, adult refugees seem more relieved after participating in PFA because
they have shared disturbing feelings and thoughts. Lastly, stakeholders may provide similar
program which is sustainable to improve mental health conditions of disaster victims.
