Abstract

Adolescence is a phase filled with uncertainty and confusion, especially when adolescents face academic failures, personal achievements, family pressures and physical images that cause emotional stress and emotional instability that affect adolescents' self-esteem. To overcome these challenges, adolescents must develop self-compassion, which is a good attitude towards themselves in dealing with failure and achieving psychological well-being. The purpose of this study was to determine the self-compassion profile of adolescents in senior high school. The research method used a quantitative survey design with 105 samples of senior high school adolescents (aged 16-17 years, the majority of Sundanese ethnicity, residing in rural areas). The research showed that adolescents' self-compassion was classified as moderate (95% = 100), high (1% = 1) and low (4% = 4). This condition coveyed that adolescents hadmoderate self-compassion although it was not too high. Descriptive test results showed a Cronbach Alpha of 0.415 in the moderate category with male adolescent having higher levels of self-compassion (mean 54.5) compared to female adolescent (mean 50.8). This finding highlights the importance of adolescents to master self-compassion in promoting emotional stability and resilience when facing any failure. Then the need for guidance and counseling programs focusingon developing self-compassion such as mindful self-compassion.

Abstract

Mental health among university students is a critical issue that affects academic performance, quality of life, and overall well-being. This study aims to develop and validate the Student Mental Health Scale (SMHS), a culturally contextualized instrument designed to assess mental health status among Indonesian university students. Utilizing a quantitative, cross-sectional design, data were collected from students across nine faculties at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. The Rasch Model was employed for data analysis, providing precise and objective insights into mental health distribution. Results indicated that 19.8% of students demonstrated healthy mental status, 59.5% experienced moderate mental health concerns, and 20.6% exhibited poor mental health. These findings suggest that approximately 80% of university students require mental health support, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive campus-based interventions. Key stressors include academic pressures, social dynamics, and financial burdens, with female students showing greater vulnerability. Effective interventions, such as peer support programs and resilience training, are therefore essential. This study underscores the importance of distinguishing between universal mental health instruments and culturally adapted tools, with the SMHS filling a critical gap by providing contextually appropriate assessments that international scales cannot adequately capture in Indonesian university settings. The findings hold significant implications for mental health interventions and institutional strategies in higher education.
