Google search engine, google scholar, web of science, and Scopus database were used to search for these articles.

Abstract

Background: Many adolescents engage in sexual risk behaviors (SRBs). Purpose: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of SRBs that lead to unintended sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and teen pregnancy. Method: The cross-sectional ‘Global School-Based Health Survey (GSHS)’ was conducted in 2018, with 6,940 Bolivian students aged 11–18 years or older responding to a questionnaire. The GSHS measure used in this survey included topics ranging from demographic information to sexual risk behaviors (SRB). Almost one-third of the students had ever had sex (33.7%), and nearly half of those who had sex had also consumed alcohol. Findings: In adjusted ordinal logistic regression analysis, ever drinking alcohol (AOR = 1.55, 95% CI [1.22, 1.98]) and heavy alcohol use (AOR = 1.34, 95% CI [1.04, 1.74]) were positively associated with SRB. Conclusion: This study highlights the contribution of alcohol and substance use to the increasing prevalence of SRB among Bolivian adolescents. Additionally, 1 out of 3 students engage in SRB, reflecting a lack of sexual health education among adolescents. Implication:  The study shows that nearly one in three adolescents in Bolivia engage in SRB, influenced by alcohol and substance use, school truancy, and lack of parental support. This highlights the urgent need for more comprehensive sexual education programs that address these interconnected issues. Stakeholders are encouraged to develop deeper, integrated approaches that focus on substance use prevention, improving school engagement, and fostering stronger family support to reduce SRB and promote healthier outcomes for adolescents.

Abstract

Gratitude therapy is a positive psychotherapy approach given to victims of sexual abuse to generate positive thinking by expressing gratitude to the environment, God and other people. This research aims to test gratitude intervention as a religious activity undertaken to reduce negative emotions in victims of sexual abuse. A total of 104 such victims were identified using the snowball sampling method who were divided into an experimental group (N=52) and a control group (N=52). They were diagnosed as having negative emotions based on the child Trauma Questionnaire Shot-Focus (CTQ-SF) and Gratitude Questioner-6 (GQ-6) with triple ANOVA data analysis. The study’s results demonstrate a significant influence of gratitude on negative emotion, with values of F(39,037) = 4.71, p < .01, and ηp2 = 0.113. It can increase feelings of gratitude and reduce negative emotions in victims of sexual abuse. Gratitude therapy helps reduce negative emotions and foster positive emotions amongst such victims. The study could be implemented in people who experience negative emotions related to clinical and non-clinical disorders.

Abstract

Background of the study: Education is a basic human right for all, including persons with disabilities. The right to information for students with disabilities is guaranteed by the national law of the Republic of Indonesia. However, students with disabilities still face discrimination and marginalization on campus that might impede their academic achievement and subjective well-being. Purpose: This study aims to explore information experiences of students with disabilities in Universitas Airlangga, which includes information on university policies, research opportunities, student organizations, and career opportunities. Method: This study employed a mixed-methods approach by conducting in-depth interviews with students with disabilities (n = 5), surveys with non-disabled students (n = 106), and focus group discussions with faculty representatives (n = 10). Findings: This study found that inaccessible information continues to be a problem for students with disabilities. However, some of their non-disabled peers, professors, and staff members have been relatively helpful in navigating their respective campus lives. The commitment to inclusive education is shown by the university and faculties within, but effective and sustainable action is required to tackle these issues. Conclusion: The authors recommend that the university utilize already-existing organizations to conduct workshops and promote inclusive learning on campus.

Abstract

International migration concerns the mobilization of individuals from one country to another. The intention of a certain group to participate in an international migration can be understood through various efforts, depending on the methods employed, frameworks used, populations observed, and variables considered. This study tried to identify various factors that influence the decision of prospective migrant workers to migrate out of Indonesia. This quantitative study used a survey method, with the approval of the Department of Manpower and Transmigration of East Java. This study involved 110 prospective migrant workers who filled out open-ended questionnaires. Descriptive analysis of the survey results was reported in the form of tabulations and percentages. The results show that demographic characteristics, such as sex, age, marital status, and destination, contribute to the decision to migrate abroad. Additionally, friends and family who were already working in the destination country were a significant influence. Conclusively, the push and pull factors have three themes, which are personal, social, and economic factors. Various combinations of these factors motivate prospective migrant workers to seek a better fate abroad. This research might help the government and non-governmental organizations to aid prospective migrant workers in managing their expectations and working to achieve their dreams through quality education and skills training for increased productivity.

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the risk and protective factors of Indonesian women migrant workers in Malaysia. The risk factors are variables that contribute to one’s psychological stresses, while the protective factors are variables that contribute to one’s mental stability. The “risk and protective” concept is fluid, relative, and often overlaps according to the individuals and situations. Data for the qualitative study was gathered using semi-structured interviews with five Indonesian women migrant workers in Malaysia. The risk factors include family poverty, poor communication, employee conflicts, and workplace hostility. Expertise and professional experience, as well as family and state support, are identified as protective factors. A combination of both protective and risk factors was also discovered, namely the recruitment and departure processes, educational background, work knowledge, working hours, healthcare access, and coping mechanisms. Understanding these aspects allows individuals to take precautions against problems upon arrival in their destination states. An insight provided by this study might inspire the stakeholders to increase international migrant workers’ protection framework and further ensure their human rights.
