Abstract

Background: Friendship is a safe relationship in which individuals can express various facets of themselves. A true friend allows another to be fully themselves in their presence, resulting in personal growth and progress -- not only for individuals, but also for institutions, society, and the nation. A friendship that began as a student-teacher relationship and has lasted a decade (2015-2025) was lived, observed, and reflected upon. Aims: This photo essay aims to explore how an intially asymmetric relationship between student and teacher gradually grew into an academic friendship. It is intended to inspire readers to nurture safe and trusting connections within their own circles. Methods: This case study investigates a student-teacher friendship relationship, highlighting learning points worth sharing publicly. The relationship consciously incorporated emotional communication -- emotional intelligent interaction that engages feeling-based expression and empathetic simulation. Results: A bond that began between two strangers on Facebook evolved into an academic friendship, then into a student-examiner relationship during doctoral study. After the doctoral journey ended, the connection reverted to a stronger friendship. This relationship yielded collaborative works and programs that have benefited both Indonesian and global communities. Conclusion: This case study offers several takeaways on building meaningful friendship that foster personal growth and benefit the wider environment.

Abstract

Background: Soul stunting is a term used by the researcher to describe the arrested growth of a student’s inner life, characterized by difficulties in managing emotions, building healthy relationships, and responding wisely to life’s challenges. As both researcher and counselor, the author engaged directly with the participants in a real counseling setting, allowing for an authentic observation and intervention in their soul development. This condition often originates in family upbringing patterns and can persist into university years, affecting academic engagement, social relationships, and career readiness. While conceptual discussions on emotional intelligence and student development are abundant, most remain theoretical or survey-based, with limited impact on real behavioral change. The present study addresses that gap through an action-oriented, practice-based approach. The aim of the present study is to explore the phenomenon of soul stunting among university students through four real case narratives from the campus counseling room, focusing on five dimensions of soul development: emotional maturity, empathy, the ability to build healthy relationships, reflective rather than reactive thinking, and effective problem-solving. It also demonstrates how emotionally intelligent communication can serve as an effective strategy for restoring and strengthening these aspects of students’ soul development. Methods: This qualitative case study was conducted through real counseling experiences in diverse natural settings, including campus counseling rooms, cafés, practice fields, public spaces, social media, and WhatsApp conversations. The counselor, bringing more than two decades of cultivating emotionally intelligent communication skills, particularly through emotional discernment, served as the primary instrument for data collection and interpretation. Data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and reflective field notes. Ethical considerations included concealing participant identities and omitting formal informed consent to preserve the natural flow of interactions and avoid behavioral manipulation. Results: Analysis of four authentic counseling narratives revealed that emotional discernment, as a form of tacit knowledge, plays a pivotal role in identifying, addressing, and transforming soul stunting. Conclusion: Findings offer practical implications for campus counseling services, policy-making, and family-based interventions.

Abstract

Improving digital communication skills is a necessity in the era of information technology, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and after the pandemic has passed, this need remains. We have to adjust or we fall behind. In digital communication we must strengthen the skills of stringing words, that's the only effective way to share ideas and feelings. Humans are emotional creatures. We always feel first than we think about our feelings. The alignment of impulses in the brain reaches the limbic system first, we feel. Then the impulses are processed in the cerebri cortex, we become able to think about our feelings. It's important to be able to do emotional animation consciously. Emotional animation is an attempt to bring to life positively valued emotions such as pleasure, relief, compassion, empathy, gratitude, etc., and controlling negatively valued emotions such as anger, sadness, hate, disgust, etc.  We need to improve communication skills to level four, which are safe and comfortable sharing feelings. The comfort of speaking to share feelings is the result of being created, not happening unconsciously. It's important to be aware when speaking. The most visible technique that can be trained is confirmation. Confirmation is effective for careful linking with partners. This editorial provides examples communication through chatting application Whatsapp. What about the availability of emoticons and stickers in the WhatsApp platform? Can't it be used to replace intonation and body language? It can indeed be used in the right situations so as to strengthen the words. However, overuse of emoticons and stickers makes messages less personal. We also become less than optimal in the way we are present and respond to the presence of others. Finally, the way we communicate is rooted in character, but character formation takes a long time. Being aware to do emotional animation in every conversation is a simple short-term solution in fixing communication problems. In digital communication, making optimal the ability to string words is the right choice.

During the pandemic, we do not communicate face-to face, but instead switch to communication using technological devices and chating application. Adequate understanding is needed to be able to communicate with other people virtually where messages are conveyed well and at the same time happy. The journey to the seminar in about four months presents a variety of emotions with negative and positive valences. For example, how to create a seminar participant and photo essays registration website with an inexperienced committee and communication is done virtually. In many ways we argued loudly. This level of difficulty is quite high. Virtual communication is different from face-to-face. We have to be more selective with words because intonation and gesture are absent in communication via WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. We optimize virtual communication right before we teach it to seminar attendees! This is so much fun! Pandemic may isolate our body, not our ideas. The international seminar was held on Monday, November 9, 2020, to coincide with the 19th anniversary of the founding of the Poltekkes Kemenkes Palangka Raya. In accordance with the health protocol during the COVID-19 pandemic, the online committee from home and from their respective workspaces does not gather in one room.

On November 9, 2020, after the seminar was over, 9 photo essays winners from 9 categories were announced, and been published at the Global Health Management Journal as 2022's Special Edition, following the standard guidelines for Photo Essays.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of SISRUTE on obstetric and neonatal referral indicators, at RSUD dr Doris Sylvanus Palangka Raya Raya. The research method used in this study is the mix method (qualitative and quantitative method). Data collection techniques are carried out by observation, in-depth interview, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), documentation and triangulation. This research will be conducted at RSUD dr Doris Sylvanus Palangka Raya and RSUD Mas Amsyar Kasongan. The study was conducted for 3 months (August to October 2023). As result, Obstetrics and Neonatal Referral Indicators can be assessed from the response of obstetrian and neonatal referral cases received treatment at the hospital. The Integrated Referral System (SISRUTE) has not made obtetry and neonatal referral cases a priority, so it still gets the same treatment (in response time).
