Abstract

The author conducted practicum I at the Ar-Rahman Orphanage. The first practicum conducted by the author was to research the problems experienced by the orphanage children. The problems experienced by the orphanage children were the lack of a culture of socializing so that they had difficulty in learning in groups. This condition, which is exacerbated by the tendency of today’s children to be alone rather than interact, creates difficulties in group learning and has the potential to hinder their development. Seeing the urgency of this problem, the author was motivated to conduct a mini project with the main goal of increasing children’s interest in socializing, which is expected to have an impact on increasing their self-confidence. The clients who are the focus of this project are children from various levels of education, from Elementary School (SD) to Vocational High School (SMK). In this study, the author used a comprehensive social casework approach, from the preparation stage to termination. The Ecomap method and focus group discussions (FGD) were chosen to collect data and understand the existing social dynamics. After going through all these stages, the expected result is that the orphanage children can return to cultivating healthy social interactions. Thus, they will not only be more adaptable in learning at school, but also able to create an environment free from bullying behavior. This project is expected to be an important foundation for the development of essential life skills for the future of orphanage children.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi potensi model peer support berbasis komunitas digital sebagai pendekatan inovatif dalam pekerjaan sosial dengan lansia. Dalam konteks perubahan sosial pasca pandemi dan perkembangan teknologi yang pesat, banyak lansia mengalami kesepian, keterasingan, serta kesulitan mengakses layanan sosial secara langsung. Mengacu pada pendapat Rowe dan Kahn (1997) tentang pentingnya keterlibatan sosial dalam proses penuaan yang sehat, dan teori peer support dari Mead, Hilton, dan Curtis (2001), penelitian ini memandang bahwa dukungan antar sesama lansia berbasis komunitas digital dapat menjadi solusi efektif. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus, melibatkan lansia berusia 60 tahun ke atas yang tergabung dalam komunitas digital. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, serta kuesioner untuk menilai kesejahteraan emosional dan sosial. Analisis data dilakukan secara tematik berdasarkan metode Braun dan Clarke (2006), didukung analisis deskriptif sederhana.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model peer support berbasis digital mampu memperkuat hubungan sosial, meningkatkan rasa percaya diri, dan menciptakan rasa memiliki antar lansia. Komunitas digital memungkinkan lansia untuk saling berbagi pengalaman, memberikan dukungan emosional, serta belajar teknologi secara kolektif. Dengan pendampingan yang tepat, lansia dapat beradaptasi secara positif terhadap ruang sosial digital. Temuan ini mendukung gagasan Ferguson dan Lavalette (2006) tentang pentingnya pemberdayaan dan partisipasi aktif kelompok rentan dalam praktik pekerjaan sosial. Kesimpulannya, model ini tidak hanya inovatif dan adaptif terhadap zaman, tetapi juga sangat manusiawi dan berpotensi untuk dikembangkan lebih luas dalam kerja sosial masa depan.

Abstract

Keluarga merupakan lingkungan utama bagi perkembangan dan pembentukan pribadi seorang anak. Namun, fenomena broken home, di mana orang tua tidak tinggal bersama dalam satu rumah tangga, telah menjadi isu yang semakin memprihatinkan dalam masyarakat modern. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh keluarga broken home terhadap aktivitas belajar siswa. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa keluarga broken home memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap aktivitas belajar siswa. Siswa yang berasal dari keluarga broken home cenderung menunjukkan tingkat aktivitas belajar yang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan siswa dari keluarga utuh. Hal ini mungkin disebabkan oleh kurangnya dukungan emosional dan pengawasan yang akurat dari orang tua, serta perpecahan keluarga yang dapat memengaruhi konsentrasi dan motivasi belajar siswa. Penelitian ini juga mengungkapkan bahwa keterlibatan orang tua dalam mendukung aktivitas belajar siswa dapat mengurangi dampak negatif keluarga broken home. Orang tua yang tetap aktif dalam kehidupan pendidikan anak mereka dan memberikan dukungan emosional yang kuat dapat membantu siswa mengatasi tantangan yang muncul akibat situasi keluarga yang tidak stabil. Penemuan ini memberikan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang pengaruh keluarga broken home terhadap aktivitas belajar siswa dan implikasinya terhadap pendidikan. Hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi dasar untuk pengembangan program intervensi yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan motivasi dan prestasi belajar siswa yang berasal dari keluarga broken home.

Abstract

Motorized rickshaw pullers are jobs in the informal sector in the transportation sector. Working as a motorcycle rickshaw puller does not require special skills, it's just being able to ride a motorcycle. Motorcycle rickshaw pullers have been classified as poor people because of the decreasing number of customers due to many people who already have their own vehicles and are getting more and more difficult during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the welfare level of motorcycle rickshaw drivers where the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult for rickshaw drivers to get passengers because schools and train stations which are usually places to look for passengers were closed. However, motorized rickshaw pullers must continue to work in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to earn income. This type of research is classified as descriptive research with a qualitative approach to see the level of welfare of motorized rickshaw pullers in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection methods used are interviews, observation and literature study. Sources of data used are primary data in the form of interviews and observations and secondary data in the form of literature study. This study found that the level of welfare of a family who pulled a motorcycle rickshaw in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic based on indicators from the BBKBN showed that the level of welfare was classified as a pre-prosperous family by taking into account several aspects such as income, food, clothing, housing, health, education, and savings. Due to COVID-19, the income of a family who pulls a motorcycle rickshaw is sometimes not enough to meet the needs of daily life

Abstract

Poverty reduction efforts should also include improving access to health services and environmental conditions. Medan Mayor Regulation No. 61 of 2021 on Healthy Living Community Movement (GERMAS) aims to improve the quality of life through a healthy lifestyle and reduce healthcare costs. The GERMAS policy has been implemented to improve the quality of life. However, the challenge is to change people's behavior and implementing the GERMAS policy in Medan City is quite tricky. This study used a descriptive qualitative method combined with a literature review. Data collection strategies were obtained from observation and literature review. Data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing were used as data analysis procedures. The results showed that the Medan City Government's GERMAS policy aims to increase productivity and reduce the financial burden of unhealthy living habits. The policy aims to reduce maternal mortality, improve nutrition, and alleviate poverty. However, its implementation is inefficient due to insufficient cross-sectoral coordination, limited resources, and low public awareness. To improve, the government should focus on innovation, community development, healthy lifestyles, and collaboration between government sectors.
