Abstract

ABSTRACT Psychosocial therapy that needed for conditional case can use Systematic Desensitization therapy to reduce depressive symptoms in child victims of sexual violence at the Phalamartha Center in Sukabumi. Sexual violence against children is a serious problem that can cause profound psychological impacts, including symptoms of depression. This method is designed to help child victims of sexual violence face and overcome their symptoms of depression and fear. The therapy process involved social workers, psychologists, nurses, doctors, and social counselors, as well as child victims of violence. They were given therapy using the Systematic Desensitization method, which involves a combination of systematic desensitization (reducing emotional responses to traumatic stimuli) and operant stimulus generalization (application of positive responses to desired behaviors). The results showed that the Systematic Desensitization therapy technique significantly reduced depressive symptoms in child victims of sexual violence at the Phalamartha Center. They experienced a reduction in their fear hierarchy and became able to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL) well after the trial. These findings suggest that this technique can be an effective approach in helping child victims of sexual violence recover from its natural psychological impact. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of efforts to improve the welfare of children who are victims of sexual violence.

Abstract

Abstract Stunting is influenced by biological factors and broader social determinants, and families formed through early marriage face layered vulnerabilities that weaken household-level prevention. This study aimed to describe stunting prevention behaviors among early married families in Sukahaji Subdistrict, Babakan Ciparay District, Bandung City, using a three-level prevention framework. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted through in-depth interviews with five mothers who married before age 19, selected purposively, supported by key informants (community social workers and posyandu cadres), as well as observation and documentation; data were analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that primary prevention was fragile due to low literacy on stunting and pregnancy nutrition, incomplete understanding of health guidance, psychosocial barriers, and socioeconomic constraints that made pregnancy diets largely dependent on household food availability. Secondary prevention was reactive and relied on posyandu monitoring and cadre prompting, with responses focused on increasing food intake and providing milk, supported by PMT and DASHAT but not consistently grounded in comprehensive nutrition understanding. Tertiary prevention involved gradual behavior change following external guidance, yet sustained home-based rehabilitation was constrained by limited practical nutrition skills, economic barriers, and weak social support, and preventive outreach to adolescents to reduce early marriage was uneven. These findings highlight the central role of posyandu cadres as local connectors and the need to strengthen maternal health literacy, practical caregiving skills, and socioeconomic support to achieve sustainable household-level stunting prevention.
