Abstract

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the complexity of mental health issues and burdens. Psychological problems also arise as a domino effect of the massive crisis of the pandemic. Various studies and rapid assessments have been carried out and confirmed the alleged increase in psychological problems. However, identifying the psychological burdens that arise during the pandemic has not been explored qualitatively. For this reason, this study was conducted to identify the psychological burdens that arise during a pandemic to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic affects mental health. This study used an exploratory qualitative approachby collecting data through online open-ended questions. Seven hundred and four people (462 women; x̄ age of 27.06 years) participated by purposive technique. Thematic analysis was applied to identify and analyze patterns of meaning perceived as psychological burdens during the pandemic. The study found five themes: stress related to the pandemic, anxiety, depression, emotional instability, and loneliness. This research encourages efforts to anticipate increased mental health problems when dealing with a pandemic and provide access to psychological assistance for vulnerable groups.Keywords: psychological burdens; Covid-19 pandemic; thematic analysis.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a crisis in students' career development. Online learning activities could not have been optimal during the pandemic due to the poor quality of the internet network. Meanwhile, more than 1.2 million individuals had their employment terminated, resulting in their job loss. The pandemic contributes to students' career anxiety and mismatches in determining future careers. Our study explored the dynamics of student career anxiety that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic through a phenomenological approach. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews by teleconference. The interviews focused on 1) how the participants experience career anxiety and 2) how it affects their career planning. Fifteen students participated through purposive sampling with criteria: 19-25 years old and undergraduate students. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) is applied as an analysis framework. We synthesized phenomenological themes identified as students' career anxiety: doubts about career plans, limited job opportunities due to the pandemic, and social comparison. The analysis also found that engaging in career-relevant communities was relevant to career readiness and deepening knowledge of career paths. This study encourages improving student skills by adjusting educational materials, training, or internships relevant to the student's potential and career needs during this critical time.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic and its mitigation efforts are associated with increased student mental health problems such as anxiety, stress, isolation, and lack of motivation. When left untreated, these conditions could affect students' well-being, academic achievement, social relations, and quality of life. This study aimed to explore university students' barriers to managing mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic using an explorative qualitative approach. A total of 310 students from various regions in Indonesia were recruited by purposive sampling. Data was collected by distributing qualitative questionnaires through a Google form containing informed consent, demographic data, and open-ended questions. Thematic analysis was applied to identify the patterns of the meaning of students' barriers. The barriers experienced by students in managing mental health during the pandemic are a lack of support from their closest people, restricted mobility, stigmatization, and individual characteristics. The results show support from family and closest friends is essential for managing students' mental health, especially when there is limited access to mobility and social interaction. Additionally, adaptability and disclosure are also seen to be crucial for students in managing their mental health. This study suggests a campaign for mental health literacy and providing accessible mental health services for students in crisis.

Abstract

Background: Older adults are vulnerable to suicidal crises due to decreased cognitive, health and psychosocial functions. Gunungkidul is a regency in Indonesia that has a demographic structure with an increasing older population and a high prevalence of suicide. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of suicide among older adults in Gunungkidul, Indonesia, from 2012 to 2022.Methods: This was a retrospective analytical descriptive study examining forensic reports of suicide from the Gunungkidul Resort Police, Indonesia, from 2012 to 2022. A total of 388 suicide reports were included, with 186 of them pertaining to older adult suicides. Demographic data and suicide methods were collected using descriptive statistics, and Chi-square analysis was performed to examine any associations or differences in the data.Results: Suicide cases in older adults were more dominant (55.03%) in all suicide cases in Gunungkidul. Hanging was the most prevalent method of suicide (96.2%) among older adults, and there was no difference in suicide methods between males and females (p=0.35). Furthermore, the older adults consisting of males (n=120) were more dominant than females (n=66), however, there was no significant difference across the age group in the youngest-old (60–69 years), the middle-old (70–79 years), and the oldest-old (≥80 years) age group (p>0.01).Conclusions: The prevalence of suicide in older adults in Gunungkidul exceeds other productive age groups, mostly males, and hanging is the most predominant method. Addressing suicide among older adults in Gunungkidul requires a holistic approach by considering individual and societal factors, which necessitates immediate attention to their health, psychological, and socio-economic needs through targeted interventions.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic threatens students' psychological well-being. Distress and loneliness are prevalent psychological problems related to mobility restriction and "stay-at-home" instruction. University students are vulnerable to dealing with mental health problems and experience a decrease in psychological well-being during the pandemic. This study was to examine whether loneliness plays a moderating role in relationships between distress and psychological well-being. This research was conducted in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluated how loneliness and distress affect students' well-being since then. A total of 747 students (female = 566, Mage = 20,2 years) participated through the purposive technique. We used three instruments: the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (α=0,926), the UCLA Loneliness Scale (α=0,722), and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (α=0,932). Our moderation analysis showed that psychological distress significantly decreased psychological well-being (F = 306, p < 0,01). The role of loneliness as a moderator in the relationship between distress and psychological well-being also showed a significant moderation model (F = 161, p < 0,01). Loneliness contributes to a decrease in students' psychological well-being who experience psychological distress.

Sebanyak 747 mahasiswa (perempuan = 566, Musia = 20.2 tahun) berpartisipasi secara purposive sampling. Tiga instrumen digunakan: Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (α=0,926), UCLA Loneliness Scale (α=0,722), dan Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (α=0,932). Analisis moderasi menunjukkan bahwa distres psikologis memiliki peran signifikan dalam menurunkan kesejahteraan psikologis (F = 306, p < 0,01). Peran kesepian sebagai moderator dalam hubungan antara distres terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis juga menunjukkan model yang signifikan (F = 161, p < 0,01). Kesepian berkontribusi pada penurunan kesejahteraan psikologis pada mahasiswa yang mengalami distres psikologis. Kata kunci: Kesejahteraan psikologis, kesepian, distres psikologis, mahasiswa
