Abstract

Anxiety and psychological disturbance are commonly managed through coping actions that reflect individual beliefs, social norms, and perceived accessibility of care. Understanding preferred actions in routine service environments such as psychiatric outpatient waiting rooms is important to support culturally sensitive mental health education and referral strategies. This study aimed to describe the most preferred action when experiencing anxiety or psychological disturbance among individuals present in a psychiatric outpatient waiting room. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted in the waiting room of an outpatient psychiatric polyclinic at a mental hospital. Respondents consisted of patients, accompanying family members, and nurses who were present during the data collection period. A total of 100 respondents were recruited using a convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire that recorded age category, education level, and one most preferred coping action when experiencing anxiety or psychological disturbance. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Religious worship and spiritual practices were the most frequently preferred action, selected by 50% of respondents. Ruqyah was chosen by 20%, professional help seeking through psychologists or psychiatrists by 15%, self-management meditation by 9%, and visiting a traditional healer by 6%. Adults represented the largest age category (55%), and senior high school was the most common education level (43%). Preferences for coping with anxiety in this setting were dominated by religious and spiritual practices, while professional help seeking was less frequently prioritised.

Abstract

Clinical practice in psychiatric hospitals is a crucial learning method for preparing competent healthcare professionals; however, low mental health literacy and persistent stigma among students often trigger anxiety and stress during training. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical practicum in improving mental health literacy and reducing stigma, as well as to analyze determinants of changes in students’ mental health status based on practice duration, age, and gender. This study employed a quantitative analytical design with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest approach involving 569 health profession students using total sampling. Data were collected through validated instruments, including the Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) (0.876), the Opening Minds Scale for Health Care Providers (OMS-HC) (0.870), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) (0.918), and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that clinical practicum significantly improved mental health literacy (p = 0.0007) and reduced anxiety (p = 0.0204) and stress (p = 0.0287), while stigma did not change significantly (p = 0.3913). Multivariate analysis revealed that a one-month practice duration was the most effective period, with greater reductions in anxiety (B = −3.714; p = 0.000) and stress (B = −3.549; p = 0.000) compared to a two-week duration. Increased literacy significantly contributed to reductions in anxiety (p = 0.010) and depression (p = 0.045), whereas stigma reduction was not significant, and older students showed slower decreases in anxiety (p = 0.029). Overall, clinical practicum improves cognitive aspects (literacy) but has limited impact on perceptual aspects (stigma).

Abstract

Sexual harassment is a form of violence that has a serious impact on the mental health of victims, especially women, such as anxiety, depression, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This study aims to determine the relationship between resilience levels and mental health in female victims of sexual harassment in DDP3A Aceh in 2025. The method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional design. The population was 70 female victims who were in the DP3A Aceh Safe House, with a total sampling technique. The DASS-21 research instrument has demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.88–0.94 for the depression subscale, 0.82–0.87 for the anxiety subscale, and 0.90–0.91 for the stress subscale. The resilience scale also demonstrated acceptable reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.70. analyzed using logistic regression tests. The results of the bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between age (p = 0.024), education (p = 0.007), residence (p = 0.001), the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator (p = 0.011), and resilience levels (p = 0.031) with the victim's mental health. However, the multivariate analysis showed no factors significantly related to depression. For the anxiety variable, living with family had a significant association (p=0.038; OR=0.19), while stress was significantly associated with the relationship between the perpetrator and victim (p=0.012; OR=0.14). It was concluded that bivariate analysis found several factors associated with mental health, but multivariate analysis found only certain factors to be significant.
