Abstract

Background:The floods and landslides that struck several provinces in Sumatra toward the end of 2025 resulted in substantial loss of life, large-scale displacement, and damage to public infrastructure. As of 29 December 2025, national disaster reports recorded around 1,140 deaths, 163 people missing, and nearly 400,000 displaced residents, with reconstruction needs estimated at approximately 51.82 trillion rupiah. These events underscore the intersection between disaster exposure, public-health system resilience, and psychosocial wellbeing. Objectives:This editorial reflects on the public-health and mental-health implications of the 2025 Sumatra disaster, draws on recent empirical and review evidence, and highlights priorities for strengthening community-based preparedness and recovery. Key Issues:Post-disaster settings are commonly characterized by increased risks of infectious disease, disruption of routine care for chronic and psychiatric conditions, and pressure on primary health-care services. Evidence from flood- and landslide-affected contexts in South and Southeast Asia indicates elevated symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and post-traumatic stress among survivors, particularly among socio-economically vulnerable households, older adults, women, and adolescents. These psychosocial outcomes are shaped by prolonged displacement, livelihood loss, housing insecurity, and erosion of social support networks. Recommendations and Conclusion:The editorial emphasizes the importance of framing disaster risk reduction as a sustained public-health responsibility grounded in primary care and continuity of essential services, integrating psychosocial and mental-health care across preparedness, response, and recovery, and advancing inclusive, community-driven resilience strategies that prioritize vulnerable populations to protect dignity and wellbeing in future events.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that requires long-term care, which puts caregivers at risk of emotional burdens that can decrease their level of resilience. Families, as caregivers, play an important role in patient care and need to possess strong emotional endurance. Emotion Regulation Therapy is an intervention aimed at improving individuals’ ability to manage emotions adaptively to enhance resilience. This study aims to determine the effect of emotion regulation therapy on increasing the resilience of caregivers who care for patients with schizophrenia in Aceh. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-post-test approach. The sample consisted of 33 caregivers selected through purposive sampling and was given emotion regulation therapy over seven sessions. The instruments used in this study were a demographic data sheet to obtain respondent characteristics and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) questionnaire to measure resilience levels. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test results showed a significant effect of emotion regulation therapy on increasing caregiver resilience, with a Z value = -5.205 and p < 0.001. The results indicated that before the intervention, the majority of respondents (51.5%) were in the low resilience category. After the intervention, there was a significant increase, with 84.8% of respondents categorized as having high resilience. Additionally, the average resilience score increased from 49.00 to 73.15. Based on these findings, emotion regulation therapy has been shown to be effective in increasing the resilience of caregivers caring for patients with schizophrenia. These results indicate that this intervention can be used as a relevant strategy to help caregivers deal with long-term emotional stress.

Abstract

Midwives are healthcare workers who make the first physical contact with newborns during delivery. They bear significant responsibilities in preventing COVID-19, which can contribute to increased anxiety levels. Many factors are associated with healthcare workers' anxiety, yet studies specifically focusing on predictors of anxiety among midwives remain limited. This analytical study utilized a cross-sectional approach to identify predictors of anxiety among midwives during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nagan Raya District. The study involved a sample of 533 midwives, with data collected via Google Forms. Multivariate analysis was conducted using multiple logistic regression tests with a 95% confidence level. The study found that 43 midwives (81.24%) experienced anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors significantly associated with anxiety included age ≥32 years (p-value = 0.006; OR = 1.86; 95% CI: 1.20–2.89), workload (p-value = 0.000; OR = 2.43; 95% CI: 1.53–3.84), independent midwifery practice (p-value = 0.044; OR = 4.44; 95% CI: 1.04–18.95), and acting as the primary birth attendant (p-value = 0.032; OR = 1.61; 95% CI: 1.04–2.49). The most dominant factor associated with anxiety was high workload (p-value = 0.000; OR = 2.35; 95% CI: 1.46–3.79). Midwives with high workloads were 2.35 times more likely to experience anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to those with lower workloads. It is recommended that midwives reduce their workloads and manage their tasks by creating structured work plans. Additionally, midwives should improve their managerial skills to distribute workloads effectively among team members.

Abstract

Psychopathology is a mental disorder that can occur in police officers. Many factors influence psychopathology, one of which is obesity.

Abstract

Complete basic immunization coverage in Pidie Regency, Aceh Province, is still very low after the COVID-19 pandemic, which has increased the risk of diseases that can be prevented. This study analyzes the determinants of parental refusal to implement complete basic immunization in children aged 0–2 years. The study used a mixed methods approach with a cross-sectional design for quantitative and in-depth interviews for qualitative. A quantitative sample of 270 respondents was selected using the cluster random sampling method, while qualitative informants were selected using purposive sampling. The analysis showed that the number of children, attitudes, family support, health worker behavior, the role of community and religious leaders, and exposure to information was significantly related to immunization refusal (p <0.05). Qualitative findings revealed that the issue of halal-haram vaccines and the influence of local traditions were the main obstacles. The factors of the number of children (OR=3.47), attitudes (OR=0.19), family support (OR=0.16), and exposure to information (OR=0.24) were the dominant determinants.

Abstract

Bullying is a serious issue that threatens adolescent mental health and shows a high prevalence in Indonesia. This behavior is influenced by various internal and external factors, yet few studies have comprehensively compared bullying tendencies between adolescents in urban and rural settings. Objective: This study aims to analyze the main determinants influencing bullying tendencies among adolescents aged 12–15 years and to examine interregional differences. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used. A total of 167 students were selected through cluster random sampling from SMP Negeri 1 Banda Aceh and MTsN 6 Montasik. Data were analyzed using logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression tests. The results showed that parenting style, gender, and self-esteem were significantly associated with bullying tendencies. Authoritarian parenting showed the highest influence (Odds Ratio [OR] = 13.78; p = 0.001), followed by permissive parenting (OR = 6.15; p = 0.043), and self-esteem (OR = 8.81; p = 0.001). Gender also contributed, with males having a higher tendency to engage in bullying than females (OR = 2.54; p = 0.085). In contrast, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, nutritional status (BMI), social skills and popularity, and academic achievement showed no statistically significant associations. The study also found that students in MTsN 6 Montasik (rural area) had higher bullying behavior (25.61%) compared to those in SMP Negeri 1 Banda Aceh (urban area) at 12.94%. These findings affirm the importance of appropriate parenting, healthy self-esteem, and sensitivity to gender differences as key elements in bullying prevention efforts.
