Abstract

. Criminal behaviour can be committed by individuals of any age, including the elderly. For elderly inmates, the transition to a new social status often results in difficulty accepting themselves. Social support plays a vital role in facilitating this self-acceptance. This study aims to explore the dynamics of social support and self-acceptance among elderly inmates at Rote Ndao Correctional Facility. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing interviews as the primary data collection method. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyze the data, with purposive sampling employed to select participants. The findings reveal that elderly inmates receive various forms of social support, including emotional, instrumental, informational, spiritual, and esteem support. The self-acceptance process involves phases of rejection, self-perception, relationship building, feelings of equality, responsibility, self-confidence, hope, and eventual self-acceptance. These findings highlight the critical role of social support in fostering self-acceptance among elderly prisoners.

Abstract

Living life as a former drug addict poses significant challenges. Holistically, the impact felt will be very heavy to live. However, life goes on and as a former drug addict is required to improve bad life into a healthy and better quality. The purpose of this study is to explore the description of quality of life in former drug addicts. The method used was qualitative with a descriptive phenomenological design. The participants involved were 3 former drug addicts using purposive sampling technique. The results showed that quality of life physically, psychologically, socially, and environmentally varied in meaning by the three participants. Although, the three participants continue to learn to improve their lives, there is no denying that there are still internal judgments that are expressed about their existence as former drug addicts. Furthermore, the process of improving themselves and their lives continues to be carried out by the three participants by continuing to try positive things to realize a life that has a positive impact on themselves and the environment, in order to achieve quality of life in totality. Social support is important from family, friends, and close people to former addicts, so that they can see opportunities for self-esteem. Future studies should explore social interventions to educate communities on providing holistic support to former drug addicts to overcome the challenges of reintegration.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of gadgets and their impact on the spiritual development of teenagers within the church community. The background of this research identifies that today’s youth spend more time with gadgets, both for entertainment and learning, compared to spiritual activities such as prayer and Bible reading. A qualitative method was employed, utilizing interviews and observations with teenagers in the church. The findings reveal that excessive gadget use disrupts teenagers' focus during worship, with many preferring to engage with social media apps or play games during service time. Additionally, the research highlights the significant role of parents and educators in guiding teenagers to balance their time between gadget use and spiritual activities. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of awareness regarding the negative effects of uncontrolled gadget use, as well as the need for a wise approach in leveraging technology to support the spiritual growth of teenagers.
