Abstract

Introduction: Suicide remains a significant global health and social problem, with Indonesia showing a lower suicide rate compared to other Asian countries. However, the underreporting of cases in Indonesia suggests that the incidence rate of suicide is higher than documented. This study aimed to identify the risk of suicide among Indonesian college students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 557 students from three universities across Java Island, recruited using the purposive sampling method. The Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI) was used to assess suicide risk.  The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the prevalence of suicide-related outcomes. Additionally, linear regression analysis was conducted to examine the associations between suicide risk, suicidal ideation, suicide planning, and self-control in relation to age, sex, and year of study. Results: The average suicide risk among college students was 4.04 (SD= 6.60; 95%CI = 3.49 – 4.59) out of 38, indicating a generally low risk. However, 34.6% of students experienced the desire to die at least once, and 12.7% had a strong desire to make active suicide attempts. Furthermore, 15.8% of students found suicide an acceptable solution to their problems. Gender was found to be significant predictor of overall suicide risk, ideation and self-control. Conclusions: These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support for college students to prevent suicide and promote mental well-being.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Headaches are one of the most common medical complaints in the world, affecting the quality of life and productivity of individuals. One of the main causes of headaches is impaired brain tissue perfusion. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as acupressure, are becoming increasingly popular, but there are still few studies explaining the underlying physiological mechanisms. to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure in improving tissue perfusion and reducing headaches, as well as to identify the underlying physiological mechanisms and relevant acupressure points in headache treatment. This study uses a literature review approach with the PRISMA protocol. Data were collected from electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect with a publication range of 2019–2024. The selected articles include experimental studies, clinical trials, and literature reviews related to acupressure and brain tissue perfusion. Nine articles that met the inclusion criteria showed that acupressure at specific points, such as Tai Yang, He Gu (LI4), and Feng Chi (GB20), effectively increases brain tissue perfusion. The mechanism of acupressure involves the release of nitric oxide as a vasodilator, stimulation of the autonomic nervous system, and the release of endorphins. The research results also noted a reduction in pain intensity, headache frequency, and an increase in cerebral blood flow. Acupressure is an effective and cost-efficient non-pharmacological intervention for alleviating headaches and enhancing cerebral tissue perfusion. This intervention has great potential to be integrated into modern nursing practice and healthcare services. Keywords: Acupressure, Brain Perfusion, Headache, Acupressure Points, Migraine.  ABSTRAK Nyeri kepala merupakan salah satu keluhan medis paling umum di dunia, yang memengaruhi kualitas hidup dan produktivitas individu. Salah satu penyebab utama nyeri kepala adalah gangguan perfusi jaringan otak. Intervensi nonfarmakologis, seperti akupresur, semakin diminati namun belum banyak kajian yang menjelaskan mekanisme fisiologis yang mendasarinya. Untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas akupresur dalam meningkatkan perfusi jaringan dan mengurangi nyeri kepala, serta mengidentifikasi mekanisme fisiologis dan titik akupresur yang relevan dalam pengobatan sakit kepala.  Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan tinjauan literatur dengan protokol PRISMA. Data dikumpulkan dari basis data elektronik seperti PubMed, Google Scholar, dan ScienceDirect dengan rentang publikasi 2019–2024. Artikel yang dipilih mencakup studi eksperimental, uji klinis, dan tinjauan literatur terkait akupresur dan perfusi jaringan otak. Sembilan artikel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi menunjukkan bahwa akupresur pada titik tertentu, seperti Tai Yang, He Gu (LI4), dan Feng Chi (GB20), efektif meningkatkan perfusi jaringan otak. Mekanisme akupresur melibatkan pelepasan oksida nitrat sebagai vasodilator, stimulasi sistem saraf otonom, dan pelepasan endorfin. Hasil penelitian juga mencatat pengurangan intensitas nyeri, frekuensi sakit kepala, serta peningkatan aliran darah serebral. Akupresur merupakan intervensi nonfarmakologis yang efektif dan hemat biaya untuk mengatasi nyeri kepala serta meningkatkan perfusi jaringan otak. Intervensi ini memiliki potensi besar untuk diintegrasikan ke dalam praktik keperawatan dan layanan kesehatan modern. Kata Kunci: Akupresur, Perfusi Otak, Nyeri Kepala, Titik Akupresur, Migrain

Abstract

ABSTRAK Stigma terhadap HIV/AIDS masih tinggi, tidak mudah bagi masyarakat untuk menerima penderita HIV/AIDS hidup secara normal di tengah-tengah mereka. Ketakutan akan terjadinya penularan serta keyakinan bahwa penderita akan memberikan kesialan pada lingkungan mereka, merupakan tantangan dalam menangani dampak sosial HIV/AIDS. Anak-anak penderita HIV/AIDS tentu akan dirugikan manakala mereka ditolak di sekolah-sekolah karena ketakutan guru akan penularan virus, penolakan teman sebaya untuk bermain bersama. Namun apabila status HIV mereka tidak disampaikan, maka tidak menutup kemungkinan anak-anak lain di sekolah tersebut akan terancam tertular melalui transmisi darah walaupun hal tersebut tidak mudah. Sementara pada isu HIV/AIDS jelas, anak adalah korban karena mereka telah membawa virus ini sejak dilahirkan. Namun mereka tidak dapat menikmati perlakuan yang wajar dari lingkungannya karena menderita HIV positif. psikoedukasi adalah salah satu diantara beberapa bentuk intervensi yang dapat mereduksi stigma dalam jangka waktu menengah hingga jangka panjang. Sampel berjumlah 30 responden yang diambil dengan teknik total sampling, hasil rata -rata sebelum dilakukan intervensi skor stigma dengan skor 5,50, hasil rata rata sesudah intervensi pada skor 3,83. Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan adanya pengaruh psikoedukasi terhadap stigma sosial pada anak dengan hiv aids (ADHA) dengan uji Paired T-Test dengan nilai p value 0,000 < dari α 0,05, dan ditemukan adanya penurunan rata – rata skala tingkat stigma dari sebelum dilakukan psikoedukasi 5,50 menjadi skala tingkat 3,83 setelah dilakukan psikoedukasi. Stigma yang di terima akan memperburuk kondisi anak dengan hiv/aids. Stigma sosial yang diterim dari luar antra lain: penolakan dari lingkungan rumah. Stigma sosial yang di dapat ini tentunya akan merubah perilaku dan berdampak pada psikologis dan ini akan mempengarhi kualitas hidup bagi anak dengan hiv/aids. Penanganan hiv/aids tidak hanya mengandalkan intervensi ARV namun harus bersifat holsitik, untuk melengkapi pengobatan semua unsur dilibatkan, aspek gizi, complementary, spritualitas, psikososial. Salah satu unsur adalah menghilangkan stigma sosial sehingga akan meningkatkan kualitas hidup. Kata Kunci: Anak Dengan HIV AIDS, Kualitas Hidup. Psikoedukasi, Stigma Sosial  ABSTRACT The stigma against HIV/AIDS is still high, it is not easy for society to accept HIV/AIDS sufferers living normally in their midst. Fear of transmission and the belief that sufferers will bring bad luck to their environment, are challenges in dealing with the social impact of HIV/AIDS. Children with HIV/AIDS will certainly be disadvantaged when they are rejected at schools because of teachers' fear of transmitting the virus, and their peers' refusal to play together. However, if their HIV status is not disclosed, it is possible that other children at the school will be at risk of being infected through blood transmission, although this is not easy. Meanwhile, on the issue of HIV/AIDS, it is clear that children are victims because they have carried this virus since birth. However, they cannot enjoy fair treatment from their environment because they are HIV positive. Psychoeducation is one of several forms of intervention that can reduce stigma in the medium to long term. A sample of 30 respondents was taken using the total sampling technique, the average result before the intervention was a stigma score of 5.50, the average result after the intervention was a score of 3.83. The results of statistical tests show the influence of psychoeducation on social stigma in children with HIV/AIDS (ADHA) with a Paired T-Test with a p value of 0.000 <α 0.05, and it was found that there was a decrease in the average scale of the level of stigma from before psychoeducation 5.50 to a scale level of 3.83 after psychoeducation. The stigma received will worsen the condition of children with HIV/AIDS. Social stigma received from outside includes: rejection from the home environment. This social stigma will certainly change behavior and have an impact on psychology and this will affect the quality of life for children with HIV/AIDS. Handling HIV/AIDS does not only rely on ARV intervention but must be holistic, to complete the treatment all elements are involved, nutritional aspects, complementary, spirituality, psychosocial. One element is eliminating social stigma so that it will improve the quality of life. Keywords: Children with HIV AIDS, Psychoeducation, Social Stigma

Abstract

HIV/AIDS remains a global health challenge, particularly among individuals in their productive years, including factory workers. According to UNAIDS (2024), approximately 39 million people aged 15-49 live with HIV, directly affecting the labor sector (UNAIDS, 2024). In industrial settings, workers often face vulnerabilities such as long working hours, high mobility, varied education levels, and limited access to health information-factors that increase their risk of HIV infection. This study aims to explore the job satisfaction of workers living with HIV/AIDS within the industrial sector. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research was conducted with 10-15 workers at a textile factory in Tangerang, selected through purposive sampling. The study focuses on understanding the experiences and perceptions of these workers regarding job satisfaction and the influencing factors. Findings reveal that job satisfaction among workers living with HIV/AIDS is strongly influenced by social and structural factors, including social support and workplace policies. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the need for safety and social acceptance is essential before individuals can achieve self-actualization in their work. Furthermore, Erving Goffman’s stigma theory explains how being HIV-positive can become a source of social pressure, hindering active participation in the workplace unless the work environment consciously addresses stigma and discrimination. The study recommends that companies implement more inclusive and proactive workplace policies. Suggested strategies include regular HIV/AIDS education, provision of Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) services, enforcement of non-discrimination policies, formation of internal support groups. Collaborative efforts among companies, co-workers, and the individuals themselves are essential to creating a safe, inclusive, and productive work environment for all, including those living with HIV/AIDS.
