Abstract

Psychological resilience is increasingly recognised as a socially and culturally shaped process rather than a purely individual trait. This qualitative phenomenological study examined how residents of Bayan Village, North Lombok, Indonesia, perceive and experience cultural values and mutual assistance in relation to psychological resilience. Ten adult participants were purposively selected using maximum variation sampling and engaged in semi-structured in-depth interviews between February and May 2026. Data were analysed through reflexive thematic analysis, yielding five themes: shared cultural values as a community foundation; mutual assistance as practical and emotional support; social connectedness as psychological strength; meaning-making and adaptation during difficulties; and the dual nature of communal expectations. Residents described receiving various forms of help — including labour, food, information, flexible credit, and moral presence — that reduced feelings of isolation and increased reassurance. However, social obligations, limited privacy, social judgement, and unequal capacities to contribute also created strain. Participants emphasised self-reliance, personal boundaries, and adapting support practices to changing social conditions. The findings suggest that psychological resilience in this community is socially and culturally embedded rather than individually determined. Community mental health interventions should build on existing local support systems while remaining attentive to their limitations.

Abstract

Disaster preparedness in coastal communities depends not only on individual readiness but also on residents’ shared beliefs in their collective capacity to act. This study examined the association between collective efficacy and community participation in disaster preparedness among residents of Sumur District, Pandeglang, Indonesia — a tsunami-exposed coastline — and explored why shared confidence translates into participation for some residents but not others. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed: a cross-sectional survey of 175 adults, followed by semi-structured interviews with seven purposively selected respondents representing contrasting quantitative profiles. Data were collected from January to April 2026. Collective efficacy (12 items, α = .91) and community participation (10 items, α = .93) were both moderately high (M = 3.37 and 3.19, respectively, on 5-point scales). Collective efficacy correlated positively with participation, r(173) = .47, p < .001, and remained a significant predictor after demographic and experiential adjustment (β = .46, p < .001; adjusted R² = .24); prior disaster experience was also significant. Approximately 18.3% of respondents showed discordant profiles. Qualitative findings revealed that trust and mutual help facilitated collective action, while coordination, trusted leadership, practical relevance, and schedule accessibility determined whether confidence was translated into participation. Discordant cases highlighted that work and caregiving responsibilities could suppress participation despite high efficacy, whereas personal risk awareness could motivate participation even when collective confidence was lower.
