Hospitalization in preschool children (3–6 years old) often causes psychological crises in the form of anxiety due to separation, pain, and loss of control that can hinder the nursing care process. Jenga play therapy is an effective non-pharmacological nursing intervention as a distraction technique to divert children's attention from fear of the hospital environment. This study aims to analyze the implementation of nursing care in preschool children with a nursing diagnosis of anxiety through Jenga play therapy intervention during hospitalization at Bhayangkara M. Hasan Hospital, Palembang. A descriptive case study design was conducted on three children with a nursing process approach that includes assessment and evaluation. Measurement of anxiety levels was carried out using the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS) Preschool instrument. The intervention was given in one session per day for 20 minutes for three consecutive days in June 2026. The results of the implementation showed a decrease in anxiety scores by an average of 6 points. In addition, positive behavioral changes were seen where the child appeared more cooperative, calm, and confident and smiled more on the third day. In conclusion, Jenga play therapy has been proven to be effective in reducing anxiety and can be integrated as an evidence-based intervention in the application of atraumatic care to help the child's psychosocial adaptation process during hospitalization.
