Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia faces a critical situation with 8% of its COVID-19 deaths being healthcare workers (HCWs). These workers are highly susceptible to the virus due to contact with infected patients. Approximately 35.5% of HCWs treating COVID-19 patients develop symptoms within 14 days, and 7% test positive via PCR. Alarmingly, 36% of HCWs are asymptomatic, posing a significant risk of unknowingly spreading the virus. The pandemic has induced fear of death, infection, and transmitting the virus to family members among HCWs, necessitating psychological support to prevent burnout and maintain a functional healthcare system. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of online psychological assistance for HCWs at the forefront of the COVID-19 battle. Methods: One of the psychological assistance methods offered is through social media applications. This type of psychological assistance can be considered the most practical and safe method because it prevents transmission between medical personnel. Results: The increasing number of COVID-19 patients has increased fatigue and infection rates among HCWs. They face uncertainty and feelings of loneliness during the pandemic. However, social support is crucial for psychological first aid and recovery. Misconceptions about COVID-19 being a conspiracy hinder HCWs' efforts. Promoting healthy behaviors such as hygiene practices and mask usage can mitigate the severity of the virus and improve survival rates. Conclusions: In 2020, the surge in COVID-19 cases has forced HCWs to adapt. Nonetheless, conspiracy theories about COVID-19 complicate their duties. Implementing an online psychological assistance application is essential to provide HCWs with the psychological support needed to adapt more effectively to the pandemic's challenges.

Abstract

The mental health of students in Islamic boarding schools is often neglected due to stigma, low literacy, and misunderstandings linking it to supernatural factors such as possession. This condition makes students reluctant to seek medical help and prefer a purely spiritual approach. This community service program aims to improve mental health literacy by integrating medical approaches and Islamic spirituality, which students and caregivers find more easily acceptable. The activity was carried out at Hidayatullah Al-Muhajirin Bangkalan Islamic Boarding Schools involved 30 students in counseling sessions, 48 students, and 15 caregivers in free health check-ups. The activity methods included an initial survey, interactive counseling, discussions, pre- and post-test questionnaires, and basic health services. Results showed an average increase in students' knowledge scores of 13 points after the counseling, indicating the program's effectiveness in improving mental health awareness. This increased insight also encouraged students to discuss psychological issues without stigma. The material was delivered by integrating Islamic values such as dhikr (remembrance of God), prayer, and meditation (contemplation). The free health check-ups also emphasized the importance of physical and mental balance from an Islamic perspective. This activity has implications for ongoing educational forums, caregiver training in early detection of mental disorders, and the development of medical-spiritual-based counseling services. This program has proven effective as an intervention model that can be replicated in other Islamic boarding schools, while also strengthening community involvement in creating a more caring and supportive environment for students' mental health.
