Abstract

Health tourism has emerged as a rapidly growing global economic sector, with countries competing to attract tourists seeking holistic health services. With its rich natural and cultural resources, Indonesia has significant potential to establish itself as a leading destination in this field. This study explores the potential for developing medical wellness-based health tourism in Bali, focusing on traditional medicine and the Melukat ritual. Utilizing a qualitative approach and a literature review methodology, this study highlights Bali's unique advantages, including internationally recognized traditional healing practices and the culturally rich Melukat ritual, which integrates physical, mental, and spiritual health benefits. This study also finds that melukat has gained recognition not only for its therapeutic effects on mental well-being but also as a unique interfaith tourism trend. By promoting this ritual within the framework of medical wellness tourism, Bali can leverage its cultural assets to attract a premium segment of health-conscious tourists while contributing to the preservation of local traditions. This study provides actionable recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders, contributing to Bali's positioning as a premier medical wellness tourism destination. By integrating traditional medicine and Melukat rituals into tourism packages, Bali can attract health-conscious tourists, preserve its cultural heritage, and support local economic growth.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the dynamics of unhealthy friendships and their impact on the mental health of students at state universities in Jember Regency. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research investigates students’ subjective experiences in navigating interpersonal relationships characterized by manipulation, value suppression, and power imbalance. Data were collected through observation, documentation, in-depth interviews, and semi-structured questionnaires. The findings indicate that 78% of respondents have experienced unhealthy friendships, which significantly affect their psychological well-being, including increased stress, decreased self-confidence, sleep disturbances, diminished motivation to study, and reduced academic performance. These results underscore the need for systemic interventions by higher education institutions to raise student awareness regarding the risks of unhealthy friendships and to provide adequate psychosocial support. Recommendations include strengthening mentoring programs, peer counseling, and healthy communication education as preventive and responsive measures to foster a supportive campus social ecosystem that promotes student mental health.
