Abstract

Adolescent mental health is receiving growing attention across sectors, including within Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). As faith-based educational institutions, pesantren are well positioned to support students’ psychological development; however, adolescents in these settings may face stressors related to academic demands, social adjustment, and communal living. This program implemented Helping Adolescents Thrive (HAT) training using an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach to strengthen students’ life skills, emotional regulation, and resilience. The intervention used interactive lectures, guided discussions, and simulations and was delivered to female students at Darul Aman Islamic Boarding School. Implementation occurred in three stages: (1) identification and mapping of community assets within the pesantren, (2) delivery of HAT training aligned with those assets, and (3) evaluation of program impact. Findings indicatedimproved participant understanding of mental health and positive changes in self-concept. The ABCD framework also appeared to increase students’ confidence in addressing challenges and their openness to seeking support when experiencing psychosocial difficulties. Overall, ABCD-informed HAT training shows promise for promoting adolescent mental health in pesantren settings, although additional multi-site evaluations are needed to assess broader applicability.

Abstract

Introduction: Blood pressure variability (BPV) has not been sufficiently addressed in community-based interventions. In Indonesia, where family members often play an important role in health-related decision-making and self-management, a family centered approach may provide a contextually appropriate strategy for improving blood pressure control and addressing BPV in patients with hypertension. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with repeated measures was conducted among 200 hypertensive adults aged 30–65 years, living with family caregivers. Participants were allocated to the intervention and control groups based on the catchment areas of public health centers, with two public health centers designated as intervention sites and one as a control site. The 12-week intervention included nurse-led virtual coaching, educational content, and digital engagement. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to evaluate the changes within and between groups over time. Results: The intervention group showed a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure variability (BPV) with systolic BPV decreasing from 11.4 ± 2.2 to 9.8 ± 1.9 mmHg, whereas the control group showed minimal change. Similar improvements were observed in systolic and diastolic blood pressure variability, assessed using the coefficient of variation (CV). The reduction in blood pressure variability over the 12-week follow-up was significantly greater in the intervention group than in the control group (p < 0.01). The GEE analysis further confirmed significant changes. Conclusions: Family centered remote nursing is an effective and scalable approach for reducing BPV in hypertensive populations. Further investigation is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms.
