Abstract

This study examines the influence of self-disclosure and gratitude on marital satisfaction among military wives in long-distance marriages (LDM). Long-distance relationships present challenges in communication and emotional intimacy, making marital satisfaction highly dependent on open communication and the ability to appreciate ones partner. This study aims to determine the extent to which self-disclosure and gratitude contribute to marital satisfaction among military wives in Surabaya. This research employs a quantitative correlational approach, involving 350 military wives in long-distance marriages. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire, including the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (EMS) for marital satisfaction, the Revised Self-Disclosure Scale (RSDS) for self-disclosure, and the Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6) for gratitude. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the influence of each variable on marital satisfaction. The findings indicate that self-disclosure has a positive impact on marital satisfaction. Wives who openly share their thoughts and feelings with their spouses tend to experience greater harmony in their relationships. Gratitude also plays a significant role, as individuals who appreciate their partners are more likely to feel happiness and fulfillment in their marriage. Together, these two variables make a substantial contribution to marital satisfaction among military wives in long-distance marriages. In conclusion, this study highlights that open communication and gratitude are essential factors in maintaining harmony and happiness in long-distance marriages. Therefore, couples in LDM are encouraged to improve open communication and cultivate gratitude to navigate the challenges of their relationship successfully.

Abstract

Background: Stunting affects approximately 149 million children globally, with Indonesia reporting 24% prevalence in 2022. Inappropriate parenting practices and parental psychological factors significantly contribute to stunting. This community service aimed to enhance community knowledge about the psychological role of parents in stunting prevention through psychoeducation intervention. Methods: Participatory Action Research (PAR) method was employed involving 20 posyandu cadres from Pagesangan sub-district, Surabaya. The intervention consisted of a 90-minute psychoeducation session, accompanied by leaflet distribution. The research stages included intake process, assessment, psychoeducation implementation, and evaluation. Pre-test and post-test assessments were administered verbally to measure knowledge changes. Results: Significant knowledge improvement was observed. Pre-test showed 85% of participants understood stunting only as malnutrition, while post-test revealed 100% could comprehensively explain stunting as multifaceted growth failure. All participants (100%) demonstrated improved understanding of psychological factors including psychosocial stimulation, parenting practices, and maternal mental health. Knowledge about stunting risks increased substantially, with all participants identifying cognitive, motor, and verbal developmental impairments. Follow-up assessment indicated 93% of participants disseminated information to their communities and 80% implemented preventive measures in posyandu activities. Conclusion: Psychoeducation effectively increased community knowledge about parental psychological aspects in stunting prevention. This community-based approach can be implemented to reduce stunting rates through empowering posyandu cadres as health information disseminators.
