Abstract

Introduction: Parenting style has a crucial role in shaping a child's physical and mental growth. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of parenting styles on the likelihood of developing mental problems in the urban area of Palembang, Indonesia. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional research methodology, encompassing a sample of 1,000 participants aged between 18 and 65 years. We categorized the participants based on the type of parenting style they experienced, namely authoritative, permissive, and authoritarian parenting. We used the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) questionnaire to assess the likelihood of mental illnesses. Results: The study found that individuals raised with an authoritative parenting style had a lower vulnerability to mental problems compared to those raised with either a permissive or authoritarian parenting style. Conclusion: The practice of authoritative parenting can serve as a safeguard against susceptibility to mental diseases.

Abstract

Introduction: Stigma towards mental disorders is an important public health problem in Indonesia. This stigma can have a negative impact on the lives of people with mental disorders (ODGM), such as discrimination, social isolation, and an increased risk of suicide. This research aims to analyze the factors that influence the stigma of mental disorders in Indonesia. Methods: This research uses a systematic literature review method. Research data was obtained from electronic literature searches on PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar. Research inclusion criteria were research published in reputable scientific journals, published in the 2010-2022 period, and discussing factors that influence the stigma of mental disorders in Indonesia. Results: The research results show that there are five factors that influence the stigma of mental disorders in Indonesia, namely: low knowledge about mental disorders, negative views about mental disorders, negative experiences with people with mental disorders, cultural factors, and socioeconomic factors. Conclusion: Negative views about mental disorders can come from various sources, including family, friends, society, and mass media. Education about mental disorders needs to be improved to increase public knowledge about mental disorders.

Abstract

Introduction: Challenges in specialist medical education in Indonesia can increase stress, but the expression of stress may be hampered or appear as physical complaints. The behavior of self-prescribing medication often occurs among specialist medical education participants to deal with stress-related complaints. This study aims to analyze the relationship between stress and self-prescribing behavior among specialist medical education participants in Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 39 respondents who completed an anonymous online survey. The perceived stress scale (PSS-10) was used to measure stress levels, and questions about medication self-prescribing behavior were asked. Multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between PSS scores and self-prescribing behavior. Results: Most respondents (74.4%) had PSS scores higher than age and gender norms. Antibiotics were the most frequently self-prescribed medication (92.3%). No association was found between demographic characteristics, total PSS score, and self-prescribing behavior. Conclusion: The high level of stress in specialist medical education participants may not be directly correlated with self-prescribing behavior. This may be related to Asian culture where psychological distress tends to manifest as somatic complaints.

Abstract

Introduction: Smartphones have become a primary need in the technological era. However, anxiety can arise when individuals are not near their smartphones, which is known as nomophobia. This study aims to determine the relationship between nomophobia tendencies and friendship quality. Methods: This research uses a quantitative correlational method with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 371 students aged 18-25 years in Indonesia was taken using non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected using the nomophobia questionnaire (NMP-Q) and the McGill Friendship Questionnaire-Friend's Functions (Short) (MFQ-FFS) questionnaires. Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between nomophobia tendencies and friendship quality (r = 0.294 and p = 0.000). The higher an individual's nomophobia tendencies, the higher the quality of friendships formed. Conclusion: Nomophobia has a positive relationship with friendship quality. This shows that individuals with nomophobia tendencies find it easier to establish and maintain friendly relationships.

Abstract

Introduction: The alteration of biogenic amines, in particular norepinephrine and serotonin, is a hypothesis that is frequently put forward in relation to the etiology of major depressive disorder. This study was aimed to present the recurrent major depressive disorder in a forty years old woman. Case presentation: A 40-year-old woman, presented to our mental health unit with symptoms of a low mood, which she described as similar to previous episodes of depression. Two decades ago, she underwent an evaluation and received a diagnosis of severe depression for the first time. Throughout that duration, she received imipramine (tricyclic antidepressant/TCA) at dosages of up to 150 mg per day, resulting in favorable outcomes. She claimed that she abstained from illicit substances and has not undergone any distressing events in the recent past. Although she was confident that she was experiencing another severe depression, she expressed a desire to avoid using imipramine this time due to its adverse effects, including dry mouth, dry eyes, and diarrhea. The patient was diagnosed as recurrent major depressive disorder without psychotic symptoms. Conclusion: The likelihood of experiencing additional bouts of major depression is higher when there have been multiple prior episodes, residual symptoms of depression between episodes, and the coexistence of other psychiatric or chronic medical conditions. Prior episodes of serious depression that responded well to treatment have a greater probability of reaching remission in future episodes. First-line treatment options for major depressive disorder include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as bupropion, venlafaxine, mirtazapine, and duloxetine.

Abstract

Introduction: An individual with paranoid schizophrenia exhibits a preoccupation with one or more delusions and experiences frequent auditory hallucinations. This study aimed to describe the diagnosis and treatment of paranoid schizophrenia in young men. Case presentation: A 20-year-old man was found sitting in the middle of traffic on a bustling route, prompting the cops to transport him to the emergency department for medical care. The patient showed poor personal hygiene during the mental health assessment, appearing dirty and untidy. He constantly paces the examining room, ensuring his back is always against the wall. He exudes a subtle sense of unease with his environment. He characterizes his demeanor as "adequate." Despite his lack of emotional expression, his emotional expression remains constant. The working diagnosis for this patient was paranoid schizophrenia. The patient was prescribed a regimen of atypical antipsychotic medication, specifically risperidone, at a dosage of 2 mg, to be taken twice daily. The treatment will continue for 6 months, with monthly assessments of the patient's symptoms to gauge the medication's effectiveness. Conclusion: Prior to making a diagnosis of schizophrenia, it is critical to rule out any potential etiologies for the manifestation of psychotic symptoms, such as substance abuse, medication use, or medical conditions. In contrast to prior "typical" antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine and haloperidol, atypical antipsychotics provide a multitude of advantages. Although conventional medications are efficacious in treating the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, they may inadvertently worsen or even induce the negative symptoms.

Abstract

Introduction: Panic disorder is defined as the occurrence of spontaneous panic attacks that are not triggered by any specific stimulus. The symptoms of panic disorder include panic episodes that occur frequently and unexpectedly, as well as anxiety about the possibility of experiencing further panic attacks, the repercussions of panic attacks, or a change in behavior as a result of panic attacks. This study presented the diagnosis and treatment of panic disorder comorbid with thyroid medication overuse. Case presentation: A 36-year-old female patient presented to the emergency room with a primary concern and symptoms consistent with panic disorder, including experiencing a sense of losing control or impending death, chest pain, difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, excessive perspiration, trembling, and dizziness. The patient experienced significant periods of anxiety between episodes, preoccupied with the anticipation of the next occurrence. Each episode had a duration of roughly 15 minutes. The patient refutes any history of alcohol or drug misuse, and her sole medical condition is hypothyroidism. Subsequently, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the thyroid profile and make a referral to an internal medicine specialist for collaborative treatment. We treated the patient with a combination of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluoxetine 20 mg/day and a course of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Conclusion: Repeated episodes of intense panic attacks, accompanied by feelings of anxiety and observable alterations in behavior, distinguish panic disorder as a medical illness. The treatment involves the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antidepressants, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: Non-physical bullying, often subtle and insidious, poses a significant threat to adolescents' self-concept during a critical developmental period. This study investigates the prevalence and impact of non-physical bullying on adolescents' self-concept within the unique cultural context of Sausapor, Tambrauw Regency, West Papua, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among adolescents aged 12-17 years in Sausapor. Data were collected using validated questionnaires assessing non-physical bullying experiences and self-concept dimensions (self-esteem, self-efficacy, and body image). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and regression analyses were employed to examine the relationship between non-physical bullying and self-concept. Results: The study revealed a significant prevalence of non-physical bullying in the Sausapor adolescent community, with verbal abuse and social exclusion being the most common forms. Non-physical bullying was significantly associated with lower self-esteem, reduced self-efficacy, and negative body image among adolescents. Regression analyses confirmed the detrimental impact of non-physical bullying on self-concept, even after controlling for sociodemographic factors. Conclusion: Non-physical bullying is a pervasive issue in Sausapor, with profound negative consequences for adolescents’ self-concept. Culturally sensitive interventions are urgently needed to prevent and address non-physical bullying, promote positive self-concept development, and foster a supportive environment for adolescents in this community.

Abstract

Introduction: The pervasive use of digital devices has raised concerns about the impact of screen time on early childhood development, particularly language skills. This study investigates the relationship between screen time exposure and language development in Indonesian children under five, while also analyzing the influence of socio-demographic and environmental risk factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 300 Indonesian children aged 1 to 5 years. Parents completed questionnaires on socio-demographics, screen time habits, and their child's language development (assessed using the Indonesian Early Language Development Scale - IELDS). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression to identify predictors of language delay. Results: Increased screen time was significantly correlated with lower scores on the IELDS, indicating delayed language development. Children with higher screen time were more likely to exhibit delays in expressive language, receptive language, and overall communication skills. Socio-economic status, parental education, and home language environment also emerged as significant predictors of language outcomes. Conclusion: This study provides compelling evidence for the negative association between screen time and language development in young Indonesian children. The findings underscore the importance of limiting screen time and promoting language-rich interactions during the critical early years.

Abstract

Introduction: Bullying is a pervasive issue among Indonesian youth, with far-reaching consequences for victims, perpetrators, and society. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with bullying tendencies and develop a predictive scoring system to aid early identification and intervention. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was employed. A nationwide survey was conducted with 3,500 Indonesian youth (aged 12-18) to collect data on sociodemographic factors, family environment, peer relationships, personal traits, and bullying behaviors. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 30 participants to gain deeper insights into their experiences. Risk factors were analyzed using regression models, and a predictive scoring system was developed using a machine learning algorithm. Results: The study identified several significant risk factors for bullying tendencies, including male gender, low socioeconomic status, exposure to violence at home, poor parent-child communication, negative peer influence, low self-esteem, and high impulsivity. The developed predictive scoring system demonstrated good accuracy in identifying individuals at high risk of engaging in bullying behavior. Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the complex interplay of risk factors contributing to bullying tendencies in Indonesian youth. The predictive scoring system offers a promising tool for early identification and targeted intervention, potentially mitigating the negative consequences of bullying.
