Abstract

This research explores the Marpege-pege tradition in traditional Angkola Batak weddings as a social mechanism that addresses the high costs of marriage, especially the bridewealth obligation (tuhor). Conducted in Sialogo Village, West Angkola District, South Tapanuli Regency, the study focuses on (1) how the Marpege-pege tradition is practiced and (2) its role in the community. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and Robert K. Merton’s structural functionalism framework, data were gathered through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation with community members. Results reveal that Marpege-pege is a coordinated collective effort of monetary contributions organized by the groom’s family, involving stages: Manyapai Boru, Marpege-pege, and Pataru Tuhor. From a functionalist view, this tradition has an obvious role in easing wedding expenses. Additionally, it fosters latent functions like enhanced social solidarity, stronger community bonds, and the preservation of cultural values across generations. These latent functions bolster social capital by supporting reciprocal relationships and collective responsibility within the community. The study concludes that Marpege-pege is more than just an economic tactic; it is a culturally embedded tradition that sustains social cohesion and cultural continuity in Angkola Batak society.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore spiritual education as a way to anticipate patient anxiety. This study applies a mixed-methods approach, namely combining quantitative and qualitative methods. In the quantitative section, the HARS (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale) instrument was used to measure the level of anxiety of respondents objectively before and after the intervention. Meanwhile, the qualitative approach was carried out through in-depth interviews to explore the experiences and perceptions of participants regarding the intervention given. The results of the quantitative study showed that spiritual education can anticipate patient anxiety. It was found that the level of anxiety in the pre-test for most patients was at a moderate level, with 73.33%, whereas the level of anxiety in the post-test for most patients was at a mild level, with 66.77%. Qualitative results support this finding, with participants reporting increased inner peace, a sense of sincerity, and decreased fear when hospitalized. Spiritual education can handle anxiety through material on monotheism, dhikr therapy, and prayer, which are very effective when applied in hospitals to reduce the anxiety of hospitalized patients.
