Abstract

Introduction: Non-physical bullying, often subtle and insidious, poses a significant threat to adolescents' self-concept during a critical developmental period. This study investigates the prevalence and impact of non-physical bullying on adolescents' self-concept within the unique cultural context of Sausapor, Tambrauw Regency, West Papua, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among adolescents aged 12-17 years in Sausapor. Data were collected using validated questionnaires assessing non-physical bullying experiences and self-concept dimensions (self-esteem, self-efficacy, and body image). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and regression analyses were employed to examine the relationship between non-physical bullying and self-concept. Results: The study revealed a significant prevalence of non-physical bullying in the Sausapor adolescent community, with verbal abuse and social exclusion being the most common forms. Non-physical bullying was significantly associated with lower self-esteem, reduced self-efficacy, and negative body image among adolescents. Regression analyses confirmed the detrimental impact of non-physical bullying on self-concept, even after controlling for sociodemographic factors. Conclusion: Non-physical bullying is a pervasive issue in Sausapor, with profound negative consequences for adolescents’ self-concept. Culturally sensitive interventions are urgently needed to prevent and address non-physical bullying, promote positive self-concept development, and foster a supportive environment for adolescents in this community.

Abstract

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder that affects an individual's thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors. Therapeutic communication in schizophrenic patients refers to the communication approach used by health professionals or therapists to interact with schizophrenic patients with the aim of assisting them in recovery and improving their quality of life. This study aimed to explore forms of therapeutic communication that could be used to improve improvements in schizophrenia patients. Methods: The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding therapeutic communication and schizophrenia. The search was performed using the terms "therapeutic communication" OR "psychoeducation" OR "psychotherapy" AND "schizophrenia”. Results: Among all studies included in the review, there were three qualitative studies and one observational study. In addition, the study did not provide information on whether there were deviations from the intervention data, bias in measuring outcomes, and bias in the selection of reported outcomes. Conclusion: Therapeutic communication can be adapted to the individual needs of schizophrenic patients. To build a strong therapeutic alliance, open conversation, trust, and respect play a fundamental role, with the ultimate goal of building a partnership to optimize patient outcomes.
