Abstract

Higher education in Indonesia still faces challenges in building inclusive campuses for students with disabilities, particularly in physical-digital access, lecturer awareness, and support infrastructure. Therefore, an adaptive, inclusive, and equitable campus model is needed. This study aims to develop an inclusive campus model based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to improve the academic achievement of students with disabilities. The research method used is development research with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. The research subjects consisted of 240 participants, including students with disabilities, managers of Disability Services Units, and the general public from various universities. Data were collected through literature studies, in-depth interviews, observations, and questionnaires, then analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach and expert validation. The results of the study show that the implementation of the UDL-based inclusive campus model can improve academic accessibility, learning flexibility, and social support for students with disabilities. The implementation of this model in several universities has resulted in increased participation of students with disabilities in the learning process, increased understanding of lecturers regarding inclusive learning strategies, and improvements in campus infrastructure that is more disability-friendly. Evaluation of the model through expert testing and user feedback shows that this model is feasible to implement with some refinements to improve its effectiveness and sustainability. Thus, the UDL-based inclusive campus model can be an effective strategy for realizing inclusive, equitable, and diversity-oriented higher education.

Abstract

Many first-year students still experience difficulties adjusting to the academic, social, and emotional environment of college. Furthermore, personality factors such as shyness are thought to influence the success rate of new students' adjustment to the demands of campus life. This study aims to analyze the effect of shyness on first-year students’ self-adjustment ability as well as the moderating role of peer attachment. The research employed a cross-sectional design with a population of 100 freshmen in Surabaya. Data were collected through questionnaires consisting of shyness, peer attachment, and self-adjustment scales. Moderated regression analysis was used to examine the relationships among the variables. The results showed that shyness had a significant negative effect on freshmen’s self-adjustment ability (p < 0.001), while peer attachment did not moderate this relationship (p > 0.05). These findings indicate that students who experience shyness tend to face difficulties in adapting, whereas peer support alone is insufficient to reduce the negative impact of shyness. This study concludes that shyness greatly affects new student acclimation. Students with high shyness may struggle with academics, socializing, mood regulation, and campus activities. Therefore, social support and a positive campus environment are needed to help new students adapt better. This study suggests the need to place greater emphasis on the quality of social relationships and environmental support to improve freshmen’s adjustment.

Abstract

Excessive dependence on social media among adolescents often triggers social anxiety, namely the phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). This condition creates emotional pressure due to the fear of missing out on information or digital trends, which ultimately disrupts students' concentration and psychological well-being. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of group counseling interventions using a cognitive behavioral approach in reducing FOMO levels among vocational school students. The research subjects involved a population of 70 students, with a core sample of 20 students divided into experimental and control groups. Additionally, this study involved 31 tenth-grade MP students as test subjects for the instrument to ensure the accuracy of the measurement tool. Data collection used a Likert-scale FOMO questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability testing with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.927. The data analysis technique used was the Independent Samples T-Test parametric statistical test with the assistance of the SPSS program. The results of the study show a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 (< 0.05), which proves that there is a significant difference in the reduction of FOMO levels between the experimental group that received cognitive restructuring and mindfulness intervention and the control group. The conclusion of this study confirms that Cognitive Behavior-based group counseling services are effective in reducing students' tendency toward FOMO. These results have implications for school counselors to adopt cognitive affective integrative techniques as adaptive guidance service strategies in addressing adolescent mental health issues in the digital age.

Abstract

The difficulty in these studies is the lack of culturally reflective family counseling approaches that consider value, communication and family decision making processes within the community. In addition, indigenous knowledge is usually treated as a supplementary story rather than an operational introduction to analyze and elaborate practical family counseling programs. The purpose of this study is to understand the pupose, value construction and practical function of Beseprah as local wisdom and expand its implementation for a cultially relevant family counseling model. Additionally, this research provides theoretical guidelines for family counseling interventions based on Beseprah (C4–6). recruited 24 participants: eight family practitioners, 10 parents, and six youths with Beseprah practice experience. Through semi-structured interview guides, observation sheets and field notes, I gathered the data from the informants in depth interviews, participant observations and document analysis. Findings were interpreted through reflexive thematic analysis, including open coding, categorization and generating themes. Results suggest that Beseprah embodies four moral characteristics: equality, deliberation, respectful hierarchy change, and relationship-based emotion regulation. These are helpful values to use as a base for culturally relevant counseling goals, communication processes, and family conflict resolution. In conclusion, Beseprah has implications for strengthening the competence of multicultural counselors and developing more contextual, local wisdom-based family counseling modules.

Abstract

Psychological resilience is the ability to adapt and recover from cancer-related stress. However, studies on its factors and psychosocial interventions remain conceptually and empirically inconsistent. This study aimed to analyze the conceptual framework of resilience, explore the internal and external factors influencing resilience in adult cancer patients, and evaluate the effectiveness of resilience-based psychosocial interventions. This study employed a systematic review method based on the PRISMA guidelines. The subjects of the study consisted of scientific articles discussing resilience among adult cancer patients. Data were collected through literature searches in reputable scientific databases and analyzed using narrative synthesis through systematic processes of study selection, data extraction, and quality appraisal. The findings revealed that resilience is influenced by internal factors, including hope, optimism, self-efficacy, emotional regulation, spirituality, and adaptive coping strategies, as well as external factors such as social support, clinical conditions, and psychosocial services. Mindfulness-based interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, meaning-centered therapy, and coping-skills training were found to reduce psychological distress and improve patients’ quality of life. The study concludes that resilience in cancer patients is dynamic and develops through the interaction of psychological, social, spiritual, and clinical factors. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of integrating resilience assessment and resilience-oriented psychosocial services into healthcare practices to support the long-term psychological well-being of cancer patients.

Abstract

The achievement of independence is a crucial developmental task during adolescence; however, boarding school environments often create a dilemma between collective disciplinary control and students’ need for individual autonomy. Imbalances in the fulfillment of basic psychological needs at school may lead to low initiative, maladaptive behavior, and disciplinary violations due to weak self-regulation. This study aimed to analyze differences in the level of independence and fulfillment of basic psychological needs between students in general boarding schools and Islamic boarding schools. The study employed a comparative descriptive quantitative approach involving 175 students as research participants, consisting of 90 students from general boarding schools and 85 students from Islamic boarding schools. Data were collected using the Adolescent Independence Scale and the validated Basic Psychological Needs Scale. Data analysis was conducted using the Independent Sample t-test. The results revealed significant differences in the level of independence (p = 0.002) and basic psychological needs (p = 0.000), in which students from general boarding schools showed higher scores than students from Islamic boarding schools. These findings indicate that environments providing greater autonomy support are more effective in facilitating students’ independence. In conclusion, institutional parenting patterns that balance social regulation with opportunities for personal choice serve as an important foundation for psychological well-being. The implications of this study highlight the need for Self-Determination Theory based guidance and counseling services focused on strengthening decision-making skills in boarding school environments.

Abstract

Self-harm among adolescents is currently a hot topic in various countries. This phenomenon has become a concern for counsellors and society in general. This study aims to develop an Indonesian version of the Self-Harm Inventory that can detect self-harm behaviour among high school students. The method used in this study is the ADDIE model, and the analysis was conducted using Rasch analysis. The pilot sample comprised 50 high school students, and the sample for estimating the prevalence of self-harm comprised 256 students selected by simple random sampling. The scale was developed in accordance with Indonesian culture. The results showed that the SHI scale had excellent validity and reliability based on item fit parameters, person-item reliability, and no item DIF was found in the inventory. The study also revealed the prevalence of self-harm among high school students identified using the SHI and showed that student self-harm behaviour was in the very low category. These findings are expected to form the basis for appropriate prevention and eradication interventions to build positive mental health and achieve psychological well-being among students.

Abstract

Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior that harms others and can have detrimental consequences for its victims. One of the adverse effects of bullying is low self-confidence among students who experience it. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of group counseling using cognitive restructuring techniques in improving the self-confidence of students who are victims of bullying. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group. The population consisted of 44 students from two different classes. From this population, 24 students identified as having low self-confidence were selected as the research sample. Pretests and posttests were administered to determine differences between the experimental and control groups. Data were collected using a Likert-scale self-confidence instrument, in which higher scores indicated lower levels of self-confidence. Data were analyzed using an Independent Samples t-test in JASP software. The results revealed a difference in posttest scores between the experimental and control groups. The experimental group obtained a posttest mean score of 32.75, whereas the control group obtained a mean score of 42.08. The lower posttest score in the experimental group indicates that students who received group counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques demonstrated greater improvements in self-confidence than those in the control group. These findings suggest that group counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques is effective in addressing low self-confidence among students who are victims of bullying.

Abstract

The gap in access to information and the quality of education between urban and rural institutions motivated this study. This research on bullying aligns with the Indonesian government's commitment to address three key issues in education: bullying, intolerance, and sexual violence. This study aims to investigate factors influencing bullying behaviour among junior high school students directed at their peers in rural and urban communities. The study employed quantitative methods, with 715 students participating. Junior high school students were selected as the study sample due to the higher incidence of violence compared to senior high school students. Data collection was conducted using the Qualtrics system. The study findings indicate that student residence influences bullying behaviour, with students in rural communities engaging in less bullying than those in urban areas. Gender and grade level variables also significantly influence bullying behaviour among junior high school students in rural and urban communities across Indonesia. These findings imply the need for various bullying prevention and intervention strategies based on regional context, gender, and grade level so that national anti-violence programs in schools can be implemented more effectively and effectively. This study concludes that more targeted and contextual interventions tailored to regional characteristics and student groups are needed to support the national agenda of creating safe and violence-free educational environments. This research implies the need for contextual, region, gender, and grade-level bullying prevention strategies to make anti-violence policies in schools more effective and targeted.

Abstract

Multicultural societies require culturally grounded instruments to assess empathy in ways that reflect local religious, communal, and national value systems. However, widely used empathy scales are predominantly developed within Western frameworks and may not adequately capture culturally embedded expressions of empathy in Indonesia. This study aims to develop and validate the Indonesian Cultural Empathy Scale (ICES) by constructing contextually grounded indicators and examining its factorial structure and construct validity. An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, beginning with qualitative inquiry through interviews, observation, and documentation to identify core domains of cultural empathy. These domains were integrated with ethnocultural empathy theory and the 18 National Character Pillars to construct scale indicators and items, which were subsequently evaluated through expert judgment. The quantitative phase involved large-scale survey administration and factor-based validation analysis. The findings reveal a stable two-factor structure reflecting intercultural openness and interfaith tolerance. Overall, ICES demonstrates conceptual coherence and cultural relevance, offering a value-based model of empathy measurement that contributes to the advancement of culturally responsive psychometric development in multicultural contexts.
