Abstract

Introduction: University students, particularly those in health-related programs, are often subjected to various academic demands that must be completed within strict timeframes. These demands, coupled with a lack of preparedness to cope, can lead to psychological issues such as stress. Globally, stress affects more than 350 million people and ranks as the fourth most common health problem. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between spirituality levels and stress among freshmen in the Health Sciences Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur. Methods: This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 271 respondents were selected using random sampling. The instruments used were the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) to measure spirituality and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) to measure stress levels. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. Results: The majority of respondents had a high level of spirituality (160 respondents or 59%), while most respondents also reported normal levels of stress (159 respondents or 58.7%). Statistical analysis revealed a negative correlation between spirituality and stress levels, with a correlation coefficient of -0.417 and a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant inverse relationship. Conclusion: The findings indicate that higher levels of spirituality are associated with lower levels of stress among new health students. This suggests that spirituality may serve as a protective factor and should be considered in holistic student support and stress management programs in higher education settings.

Abstract

Female Genital Cutting and Mutilation (FGCM) or female circumcision is an old practice that is still widely practiced in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. The implementation of female circumcision is linked to religious and cultural values, so it gives the impression of being a medicalization that parents must carry out for their daughters because they are worried that they will be ostracized or deemed not to comply with religious law. The aim of this community service is socialization to jointly stop the behavior of circumcising girls in the neighborhood where Darma Wanita lives. Community service utilizes counseling at the Dharma Wanita UPT Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The results of this activity increased the knowledge of mothers of Dharma Wanita members regarding the prohibition of female circumcision both from a health and religious perspective, as well as understanding the side effects of female circumcision for children who experience it. Apart from that, there was a commitment raised by the majority of participants in outreach activities not to allow their children, grandchildren, or relatives to undergo female circumcision.
