Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of group communication among recovery agents in building the resilience of former drug addicts in Sekip Village, Lubuk Pakam District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra. The study is grounded in the local vulnerability of Sekip Village to drug abuse and illicit drug circulation, as indicated by its classification as a high-risk area in the 2021 Drug-Prone Area Map issued by the National Narcotics Agency of Indonesia. In this context, community-based recovery efforts are important because access to formal rehabilitation services remains uneven, particularly for socially and economically vulnerable groups. This study employed a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, and source triangulation. The findings show that recovery agents play roles as facilitators, mentors, communicators, and connectors between former drug addicts and available social resources. Group communication dynamics create a safe psychological climate, strengthen social support, encourage openness, and support adaptive coping mechanisms. Supporting factors include community involvement, village government support, coordination among recovery agents, and guidance from authorized institutions. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include social stigma, limited facilities, limited funding, and internal differences of opinion. The study concludes that group communication among recovery agents contributes to the resilience-building process by helping former drug addicts maintain recovery motivation, prevent relapse, and reintegrate into society.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of the #KaburAjaDulu hashtag on Generation Z's interest in working abroad and tests family communication as a moderating variable in Medan City. A quantitative cross-sectional survey involved 400 respondents aged 18–29 years who were familiar with the hashtag. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 31. The #KaburAjaDulu hashtag had a positive and significant effect on interest in working abroad (t = 3.170; p = 0.002), while family communication also showed a positive and significant effect (t = 3.155; p = 0.002). The interaction between the hashtag and family communication was negative but not statistically significant (β = −0.011; t = −1.742; p = 0.082). Thus, family communication was not supported as a moderator. The findings indicate that digital narratives and family communication are independently associated with Generation Z's interest in overseas employment.
