Abstract

Major depressive illness can arise from a multitude of sources, such as a mix of hereditary variables, chemical alterations in the brain, stressful life events, and other environmental and psychosocial factors. Childhood trauma is a prevalent source of psychological distress and encompasses instances of abuse and neglect. This literature review seeks to investigate childhood trauma as a contributing factor to the emergence of major depressive disorder (MDD). Individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) link childhood stress to atypical tissue structure. Prior research has identified alterations in the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) in individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have experienced childhood trauma. Researchers have specifically observed these changes in the left insula, right dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, bilateral amygdala, and orbitals. People with serious depressive disorders can use increased cortisol levels after waking up as a biological indicator. Childhood trauma frequently correlates with several signs of psychopathology, such as depression, somatization, and alexithymia. Alexithymia, a condition characterized by difficulty expressing emotions, can impede the recovery process in patients with significant depression. This difficulty in effectively conveying their feelings to mental health experts can delay the development of appropriate treatment plans and management strategies. In conclusion, childhood trauma contributes to the occurrence of major depressive disorder (MDD) and intensifies the frequency and severity of depressive symptoms.

Abstract

Introduction: The proliferation of social media has raised significant concerns about its potential effects on the mental health of adolescents. This meta-analysis aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the existing research on the relationship between social media use and various mental health outcomes in adolescents. Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science) from January 2018 to June 2024 was conducted to identify relevant studies. Studies were included if they examined the association between social media use and mental health outcomes in adolescents (aged 10-19) and reported quantitative data. Effect sizes were calculated and pooled using random-effects models. Results: A total of 45 studies (N = 153,285 adolescents) met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis revealed small but significant associations between increased social media use and increased depressive symptoms (r = 0.12), anxiety (r = 0.10), and loneliness (r = 0.15). Furthermore, a significant negative association was found between social media use and self-esteem (r = -0.08). The analysis also identified several moderators of these effects, including gender, age, and type of social media platform. Conclusion: The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that increased social media use is associated with a range of negative mental health outcomes in adolescents. However, the effects are small, and the relationship is complex, with several moderating factors. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying these associations and to develop effective interventions to mitigate the potential negative effects of social media on adolescent mental health.

Abstract

Introduction: Medical professionals in Indonesia experience high levels of stress, increasing their risk for mental health problems and suicidal behavior. Culturally appropriate suicide prevention programs are critical to address this issue. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally adapted suicide prevention program for Indonesian medical professionals. Methods: This mixed-methods study had two phases. Phase 1 involved program development, adapting an existing evidence-based suicide prevention program using a Delphi method with Indonesian mental health experts (n=10) and cultural consultants (n=5). Phase 2 comprised a pilot implementation of the program with 30 medical professionals. Quantitative data on program feasibility (attendance, completion rates) and acceptability (satisfaction surveys, qualitative feedback) were collected and analyzed. Results: The Delphi method resulted in a culturally adapted program incorporating Indonesian values related to collectivism, family support, religious beliefs, and stigma associated with mental health. Pilot implementation showed high attendance (87%) and program completion rates (93%). Participants expressed high satisfaction with the program's content, cultural relevance, and delivery format. Qualitative feedback emphasized the importance of peer support, spiritual integration, and addressing workplace stressors. Conclusion: This study provides preliminary evidence for the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally sensitive suicide prevention program for Indonesian medical professionals. Further research is needed to evaluate the program's effectiveness in reducing suicidal ideation and behavior.

Abstract

Introduction: Workplace bullying is a pervasive issue with detrimental effects on the mental health and well-being of healthcare professionals. This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive score for bullying-related burnout among healthcare professionals in Indonesia and explore its implications for organizational interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 785 healthcare professionals from various hospitals in Indonesia. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires, including the Indonesian versions of the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised (NAQ-R), the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), and the Workplace Bullying Scale (WBS). Sociodemographic and work-related factors were also assessed. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to develop the predictive score, and its performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: The prevalence of workplace bullying was 32.1%, with verbal bullying being the most common type. Burnout was significantly associated with bullying experiences (p<0.001). The final predictive score included age, gender, profession, years of experience, work hours per week, perceived social support, and exposure to different types of bullying. The score demonstrated good predictive accuracy (AUC=0.88, 95% CI: 0.84-0.90) for identifying individuals at high risk of burnout. Conclusion: This study provides a validated predictive score for bullying-related burnout in Indonesian healthcare professionals. The score can be used to identify high-risk individuals and guide targeted organizational interventions to prevent and mitigate the negative consequences of workplace bullying.

Abstract

Introduction: Gender dysphoria among adolescents is increasingly recognized globally, yet research on the lived experiences of transgender youth in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to explore the unique challenges, coping mechanisms, and support needs of Indonesian adolescents navigating gender dysphoria within a sociocultural context characterized by traditional gender norms and limited access to specialized healthcare. Methods: In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 adolescents (aged 13-19) who identified as experiencing gender dysphoria. Participants were recruited through LGBTQ+ youth organizations and community centers in Jakarta and Surabaya. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes and patterns within their narratives. Results: Four major themes emerged: (1) Early Recognition and Internal Conflict: Participants described an early awareness of their gender identity incongruence, often accompanied by feelings of confusion, shame, and fear due to societal expectations and potential rejection. (2) Navigating Disclosure and Social Support: Coming out to family and peers was a significant challenge, with varied responses ranging from acceptance to rejection. Support networks, primarily found within online communities and LGBTQ+ organizations, played a crucial role in fostering resilience. (3) Barriers to Accessing Healthcare: Participants reported significant obstacles in accessing gender-affirming care, including limited availability of specialized healthcare providers, financial constraints, and lack of family support. (4) Resilience and Hope for the Future: Despite the challenges, participants expressed resilience, hope, and a strong desire to live authentically. They emphasized the importance of self-acceptance, peer support, and advocacy for greater understanding and acceptance of gender diversity in Indonesia. Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the experiences of gender dysphoric adolescents in Indonesia. Findings highlight the urgent need for increased awareness, improved access to gender-affirming care, and supportive interventions to promote the well-being of this vulnerable population.

Abstract

Introduction: Climate change is a global crisis with profound implications for mental health. Indonesia, as a highly vulnerable country, faces escalating environmental challenges that can significantly impact the psychological well-being of its population. This study investigates the psychological impacts of environmental distress related to climate change in Indonesia. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a representative sample of 1,500 Indonesian adults to assess the prevalence of mental health issues associated with climate change concerns and experiences. Qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 50 individuals from diverse backgrounds who reported experiencing significant environmental distress. Results: Quantitative analysis revealed a strong correlation between climate change concerns and various mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Individuals directly affected by extreme weather events exhibited higher levels of psychological distress. Qualitative findings highlighted the complex interplay of factors contributing to environmental distress, including fear of future impacts, loss of livelihoods, displacement, and cultural disruption. Conclusion: Climate change poses a significant threat to mental health in Indonesia. The findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive mental health support services and community-based interventions to address the psychological impacts of environmental distress. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of climate change on mental health and develop culturally appropriate coping strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: Bullying victimization among adults is a pervasive problem with significant mental health implications, including depression, anxiety, and even suicidal ideation. Early detection of individuals at risk is crucial for timely intervention and support. This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive scoring system for bullying victimization in Indonesian adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,500 Indonesian adults aged 18-55 years. Data were collected using validated questionnaires, including the Indonesian Workplace Bullying Scale, the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Sociodemographic information and history of adverse childhood experiences were also collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of bullying victimization and develop a predictive scoring system. The model's performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: The prevalence of bullying victimization in the sample was 18.7%. Significant predictors included female gender, younger age, lower socioeconomic status, history of childhood trauma, low self-esteem, and high psychological distress. The predictive scoring system demonstrated good discriminatory ability, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.79-0.85). Conclusion: This study provides a validated predictive scoring system for identifying Indonesian adults at risk of bullying victimization. This tool can assist mental health professionals, employers, and policymakers in implementing targeted prevention and intervention programs to mitigate the adverse mental health consequences associated with bullying.

Abstract

Introduction: Anxiety is a prevalent emotional response in patients undergoing surgical procedures, including cesarean sections. Perioperative anxiety can negatively impact patient outcomes, affecting physiological parameters and postoperative recovery. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and risk factors associated with perioperative anxiety levels in patients undergoing cesarean section at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital, Bali, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 37 patients scheduled for elective cesarean section at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Perioperative Anxiety Scale (PASS), a validated instrument for measuring anxiety related to surgery. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric history, and medical history were collected through a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: The majority of participants (59.5%) experienced mild to moderate anxiety levels. Age, occupation, education level, history of emergency surgery, previous surgical history, and gravidity were identified as potential risk factors associated with higher anxiety levels. Patients aged 25-29 years, housewives, those with a high school education, a history of emergency surgery, previous surgical experience, and primiparity were more likely to report mild to moderate anxiety. Conclusion: Mild to moderate anxiety is prevalent among cesarean section patients. Identifying risk factors associated with perioperative anxiety can aid healthcare providers in implementing targeted interventions to reduce anxiety and improve patient well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal anxiety and stress during pregnancy are increasingly recognized as significant factors influencing fetal neurodevelopment. This study investigated the impact of maternal anxiety and stress levels during pregnancy on various aspects of fetal neurodevelopment in a cohort of pregnant women in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: A longitudinal cohort study was conducted at three major hospitals in Jakarta, involving 500 pregnant women in their first trimester. Maternal anxiety and stress levels were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) at three time points: first trimester (10-14 weeks), second trimester (20-24 weeks), and third trimester (30-34 weeks). Fetal neurodevelopment was assessed using fetal movement counting, fetal heart rate variability (using Doppler ultrasound), and later, infant neurodevelopmental assessments at 6 and 12 months postpartum using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development III. Data analysis involved correlation and regression analyses to examine the relationship between maternal anxiety/stress and fetal/infant neurodevelopmental outcomes. Results: The study found a significant positive correlation between maternal anxiety and stress levels across all trimesters. Higher maternal anxiety and stress, particularly in the second and third trimesters, were associated with reduced fetal movement counts (p < 0.05) and altered fetal heart rate variability patterns (p < 0.01). Furthermore, higher maternal anxiety and stress during pregnancy were associated with lower scores on the cognitive and motor scales of the Bayley Scales at both 6 and 12 months (p < 0.001). Specifically, maternal anxiety in the third trimester was the strongest predictor of lower cognitive scores at 12 months. Conclusion: Maternal anxiety and stress during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, have a demonstrable impact on fetal neurodevelopment and subsequent infant development. These findings highlight the importance of screening for and managing maternal anxiety and stress during pregnancy to promote optimal fetal and infant neurodevelopment. Interventions targeting stress reduction and anxiety management should be integrated into routine prenatal care.

Abstract

Introduction: Incarcerated youth represent a vulnerable population with disproportionately high rates of trauma exposure and mental health disorders. This study investigated the longitudinal impact of a trauma-informed care (TIC) program on mental health outcomes for incarcerated youth in Bandung, Indonesia. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed, comparing a group of incarcerated youth who received TIC with a control group receiving standard care. Participants (n=200) were assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months using validated instruments measuring PTSD symptoms, depression, anxiety, and behavioral problems. Data analysis included repeated measures ANOVA and correlational analyses. Results: Youth in the TIC group demonstrated significant reductions in PTSD symptoms, depression, and anxiety over time compared to the control group. Improvements in behavioral problems were also observed in the TIC group. These positive changes were sustained over the 12-month period. Conclusion: This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of TIC in improving mental health outcomes for incarcerated youth. Implementing TIC programs in juvenile detention facilities is crucial for addressing the mental health needs of this vulnerable population.
