Abstract

This study addresses the low participation of mothers in accompanying their children to Posyandu (integrated health service posts) in RT 03/RW 05, Pabelan Village. Observations and interviews revealed that many mothers are unable or unwilling to attend due to work, household fatigue, or assumptions that childcare duties can be delegated to others. These behaviors impact the quality of child health services, including missed emotional support, reduced direct parental involvement, and decreased access to vital health information. Using Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory as a framework, the researchers conducted a macro-level intervention in the form of structured health counseling sessions targeting mothers of young children. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and community advocacy. The intervention focused on increasing awareness of the importance of maternal presence at Posyandu through community-based education, leaflets, and collaboration with local leaders and cadres. The results showed increased maternal knowledge, improved attitudes toward Posyandu, and strengthened peer support among mothers. The study concludes that community-oriented health education can effectively enhance maternal involvement, which is essential for ensuring optimal child development and access to early health services.

Abstract

This study aimed to enhance self-control among children at Aisyiyah Girls Orphanage in Grogol, Sukoharjo using modul intervention "Strengthening Self-Control in Children Through Emotion Training." The subjects of this intervention were 28 female children residing at the orphanage. The intervention was carried out using a macro-level approach, employing methods such as observation, semi-structured interviews, and participatory training. The training was conducted on June 11, 2025, over a span of 2 hours and 15 minutes, and consisted of four sessions: (1) Know Yourself, Know Your Friends, (2) When Emotions Arise, What Should I Do?, (3) Choose Your Path, Take Responsibility, and (4) Building a Healthy Group. Evaluation was conducted through follow-up interviews with the orphanage caregiver. The results revealed positive changes in the children's social dynamics, such as increased empathy, healthier communication, and the establishment of collective agreements, including borrowing with permission and advising without belittling. These values have begun to be internalized and practiced in the children's daily lives. The training proved effective in fostering self-control and creating a more emotionally supportive and healthy environment within the orphanage.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of bullying among junior high school students has become a pressing concern worldwide, impacting various aspects of students' lives and educational environments. This study investigates the effectiveness of psychoeducational intervention as a preventive measure to reduce bullying behavior at SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Surakarta. Bullying, which manifests in physical, verbal, social, emotional, and cyber forms, poses serious risks to victims and negatively affects school communities. The high incidence rates, particularly in Indonesia the highest in ASEAN—underscore the urgency of implementing effective prevention strategies. Initial assessment identified bullying as the predominant issue affecting student welfare and school climate, driven largely by social conflicts and peer dynamics. Victims often suffer long-term psychological consequences such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and diminished psychological well-being. The study highlights the interconnected impact of bullying on both victims and perpetrators, underscoring the importance of early and effective interventions.The psychoeducational program implemented in this research comprises five stages: assessment, preparation, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up. The study involved a population of 523 students, with a purposive sample of 48 students from two classes—regular 7A and IT class 8-1. Data collection included pre- and post-tests and interviews, with analyses conducted using nonparametric Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests and paired sample t-tests to determine changes in knowledge and awareness about bullying before and after the intervention. Results demonstrated a significant improvement in students' understanding of bullying-related materials after participation in the psychoeducational sessions. Pre-test mean scores (M=7.04; SD=1.71) increased notably in the post-test (M=8.33; SD=1.49) (p=0.001 < 0.05), evidencing the program's effectiveness in enhancing knowledge and preventive attitudes toward bullying. Comprehensive content covered the nature and forms of bullying, its impact on victims and aggressors, and practical prevention strategies emphasizing empathy, tolerance, self-protection, and reporting mechanisms. Engaging delivery methods—including interactive discussions and creative activities like poster-making both manually and digitally—encouraged active student participation and reinforced the program's messages.The psychoeducational approach not only imparted vital knowledge but also fostered social skills, such as empathy, effective communication, and respect, which are critical to sustaining a safe and supportive school environment. The involvement of students in creating anti-bullying posters and slogans amplified their sense of ownership and responsibility toward fostering a bully-free culture. Evaluation feedback from participants indicated strong agreement on the program's clarity, delivery, and usefulness in increasing awareness and reducing bullying tendencies. Follow-up activities included displaying student-created posters in areas prone to bullying and gathering additional feedback, which reflected increased student commitment to counteract bullying behaviors. The findings align with prior research corroborating the positive influence of psychoeducation on reducing bullying and promoting safer school environments. Psychoeducation, especially when coupled with participatory and creative elements, shows great promise as a scalable and practical intervention for bullying prevention programs within educational settings.In conclusion, psychoeducation proves to be an effective strategy for preventing bullying in junior high schools by significantly improving students' knowledge, awareness, and preventive behaviors. Integrating this approach into school programs can contribute to the development of inclusive, respectful, and safe learning environments where bullying is actively discouraged and addressed. The study recommends broader adoption and continuous refinement of psychoeducational interventions to sustain positive behavioral and cultural change in schools.

Abstract

Final year students often encounter academic and psychological challenges in completing their thesis as a graduation requirement. Pressures such as topic selection, repeated revisions, academic and family expectations, and limited guidance time can create stress and decrease adaptability, thereby disrupting psychological well-being. Psychological well-being, as conceptualized by Ryff and Keyes, represents a positive functioning state consisting of six dimensions: self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth. Previous studies have shown that psychological well-being is influenced by both internal and external factors. Hardiness, a set of personality traits characterized by control, commitment, and challenge, acts as resilience against stress. Social support, defined as perceived help from family, friends, and significant others, is also considered an important element in maintaining well-being. However, the extent to which these two variables contribute to the psychological well-being of final year students in Indonesia remains underexplored.This study was conducted to examine the relationship between hardiness, social support, and psychological well-being among final year students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Using a quantitative correlational design, the study involved a sample of 357 students (130 males and 227 females, with an average age of 22 years) drawn from a population of approximately 10,005 students using simple random sampling. Data were collected through three validated instruments: the Psychological Well-Being Scale adapted from Ryff, the A Short Hardiness Scale based on Kobasa’s theory, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The instruments demonstrated acceptable levels of reliability, with Cronbach’s Alpha values of 0.863, 0.638, and 0.898 respectively. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression through IBM SPSS version 25, supported by classical assumption tests.The results revealed that hardiness and social support simultaneously showed a significant relationship with psychological well-being, contributing 46.8% of the variance. Hardiness made the largest contribution at 45.76%, while social support contributed only 1.05%. Partial analysis indicated that hardiness was positively and significantly related to psychological well-being, whereas social support was not a significant predictor. Categorization further indicated that most students were in the medium category in terms of psychological well-being, hardiness, and social support, although a considerable proportion fell into the low and very low categories across these variables.These findings suggest that hardiness plays a more decisive role than social support in maintaining the psychological well-being of final year students. Students with high levels of hardiness tend to demonstrate resilience, adaptability, and emotional stability, which support them in coping with academic demands. Although social support did not show significant effects in this study, it remains a potential resource that, when combined with personal resilience, may enhance overall well-being. The findings are consistent with previous research highlighting the dominant role of hardiness in psychological functioning. Practical implications of this study include the importance of fostering resilience in students through structured time management, resilience training, and peer-support communities that help students navigate the challenges of thesis completion.The study concludes that both hardiness and social support are associated with psychological well-being, but hardiness is the dominant predictor. While the role of social support was not statistically significant, it cannot be disregarded, as it may become more effective when integrated with strong internal coping mechanisms. Future studies are advised to re-examine measurement tools, particularly the A Short Hardiness Scale, due to its marginal reliability, and to adopt instruments that classify social support functionally to better capture its multidimensional nature. In addition, incorporating qualitative approaches would enrich the understanding of the psychological experiences of final year students in a more contextual manner and broaden the distribution of respondents across faculties to improve generalizability.This study was ethically approved by the Health Research Ethics Committee of Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia, with approval number 706/III/HREC/2025.
