Abstract

Public discourse often dismisses "sadfishing" as manipulative attention-seeking, risking the delegitimization of genuine psychological distress. This issue is compounded by TikTok’s algorithmic recommendation system, which privileges high-intensity emotional content, transforming private distress into public viral narratives regardless of creator intent. This study aims to explore how individuals with bipolar disorder experience and interpret their emotional disclosures within the #bipolar hashtag community on TikTok. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two key TikTok content creators and supplemented by non-participant digital observation of three supporting informants. The analysis followed the Miles and Huberman framework, comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing to ensure analytical rigor. Results indicate that creators utilize the #bipolar hashtag to contextualize emotional states within a clinical identity framework, viewing their posts as legitimate coping mechanisms or cries for help. However, the findings reveal a significant tension caused by algorithmic visibility; emotionally vulnerable content is often amplified to unintended audiences, leading to fragmented responses. While survivors of similar conditions offer empathy and validation, others dismiss these disclosures as "sadfishing," utilizing the term as an external label to delegitimize genuine psychological distress. This study concludes that sadfishing is not a singular behavioral motive, but an interpretively constructed phenomenon mediated by platform affordances, norms, and mental health literacy. Digital vulnerability is a relational process where audience interpretation and platform infrastructures collectively define the perceived authenticity of disclosed emotions.

Abstract

Komunikasi terapeutik menjadi elemen esensial dalam memberikan asuhan keperawatan yang berkualitas kepada pasien. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi strategi guna meningkatkan implementasi komunikasi terapeutik dalam mengatasi kasus bunuh diri pada usia remaja. Metode penelitian menggunakan literature review untuk menganalisis artikel-artikel relevan dari database online seperti Google Scholar. Hasil penelusuran menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi terapeutik mampu menciptakan hubungan yang kuat antara konselor dan klien karena klien merasa didengar, dipahami, dan didukung secara menyeluruh pada saat sesi konseling berlangsung. Selain itu, hasil penelusuran menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan komunikasi yang inklusif dan mendukung lingkungan yang aman dan terbuka bagi remaja untuk mengekspresikan perasaan dan pemikiran mereka tanpa takut dihakimi atau diabaikan. Dengan demikian, kolaborasi antara instansi pendidikan, psikolog, dan komunitas sangat diperlukan guna membantu menciptakan lingkungan yang lebih aman dan mendukung bagi kesehatan mental remaja serta mengurangi risiko bunuh diri.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the role of pharmacist-influencer Rinaldi Nur Ibrahim (@rinaldi_ni) in promoting medication literacy among Indonesian society through digital communication on Instagram. The increasing prevalence of self-medication and difficulties in interpreting medication-use instructions highlight the need for accessible and credible medication information.   Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Rinaldi, the communicator and account owner, and non-participant observation of his Instagram activities and content.   Findings: The findings indicate that Rinaldi applies the 4C concepts of social media communication: Context, Communication, Collaboration, and Connection. His content addresses current health issues using accessible language and communication styles that resonate with Generation Z. In contrast, collaborations with health institutions and other influencers strengthen credibility and audience reach. Although audience interaction remains largely one-way, particularly in comment sections, direct messages and broadcast channels support closer relationships with followers.   Originality: This study offers a novel communication perspective by examining pharmacist-influencer communication for medication literacy and safe self-medication through Instagram using the 4C framework. Unlike previous studies focusing on consumer behavior, beauty products, general health literacy, or disease-specific campaigns, this study connects professional pharmaceutical expertise with digital influencer communication in the Indonesian context. It demonstrates how the 4C framework supports accessible, credible, and engaging medication information for younger audiences.
