Abstract

Adolescents who experience parent-lessness face numerous challenges that may negatively affect their mental health. This study aims to describe the psychological well-being profile of adolescents who experience parent-lessness. The research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive phenomenological design. A total of five participants, two male and three female adolescents who experienced parent-lessness, were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews the lasted between 31 and 53 minutes. The participants were male and female adolescents aged 18-21 years who experienced parental neglect. They came from divorced families, foster families, lived separately from their parents, or lacked parental presence both physically and emotionally. The themes that emerged from the six dimensions of psychological growth included new experiences that shape the self, openness, self-understanding, and awareness of personal potential. Strong feelings of inferiority and uncertainty about the future were also reported by the participants. The findings indicate that adolescents who experience parent-lessness tend to have lower levels of psychological well-being. This condition contributes to a lack of trust in others, particularly toward individuals who have caused them emotional pain. Nevertheless, some participants continued to believe that their parents simply did not know how to express affection. The implications of this study suggest that there are limitations that provide opportunities for further development and a more in-depth exploration of the psychological well-being of parentless adolescents.

Abstract

People with Thalassemia live their lives with blood transfusions and take medication for the rest of their lives. This study aims to explore the meaning of life in individuals suffering from Thalassemia. The experience as an individual suffering from Thalassemia disease and the life meaning that the three participants achieved were explored qualitative, which was further analyzed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Participants were determined by the nonprobability sampling technique, which is purposive sampling with certain considerations as a sample and data source with the characteristics of individuals suffering from Thalassemia between 13-35 years old who have been diagnosed with Thalassemia disease since birth and always have blood transfusions at least 1 time a week. The themes that emerge from the three dimensions of the meaning of life are the personal, social dimensions and the dimensions of values. The life lived can make individuals feel more meaningful when they are able to accept their circumstances, live their routines well and do what they like and are considered goals. The findings of this study help individuals suffering from Thalassemia disease broadly to be more self-accepting, dare to have life goals and achieve them by still doing blood transfusions and taking medication regularly. The importance of structured psychosocial support, meaning-based counseling, and inclusive policies for individuals suffering from Thalassemia disease as well as enriching the understanding of the construction of life meaning through a phenomenological-interpretive approach that uncovers the role of cultural factors and subjective dynamics in dealing with chronic disease.

Abstract

The complexity of parenting in the current digital era requires web-based intervention innovation to provide attentive care that impacts the quality of care. This study examined the effectiveness of a web-based parenting intervention in improving mindful parenting among parents of elementary school–aged children. Fifty-seven participants joined the intervention program with parent-population characteristics (fathers and mothers) living with children aged between 7 and 12 years old. The instrument consisted of pretest-posttest mindful parenting scale. This quasi-experimental research used one group pretest-posttest group design. The results indicate a substantial enhancement in mindful parenting scores post-intervention (Z = −3.544; p = 0.000), with the average score increasing from 2.735 to 2.889. A Cohen’s d of 0.44 indicates a moderate effect size with meaningful practical significance. Dimension-level analyses reveal significant improvements in three dimensions listening with empathy, understanding and acceptance, and self-regulation. In the other two dimensions, namely emotional regulation and compassion, did not show significant changes. The understanding and acceptance dimension exhibits the greatest impact, with the highest mean increase and the largest effect size (d = 0.638). These findings indicate that the web-based intervention effectively enhances the cognitive aspects of mindful parenting but remains less optimal in addressing affective components that require more intensive emotional practice. This study offers important implications for the development of digital parenting programs and provide directions for future intervention research.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem among children under five, caused by prolonged malnutrition and recurrent infections, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life. Despite government programs such as supplementary feeding, stunting prevalence remains high. This study aims to understand the attitudes of high-risk pregnant women and mothers with stunted children. The data collection procedures and research approach have been clarified by specifying the qualitative case study design and the use of semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis. The participants included high-risk pregnant women in their first to third trimesters and mothers with children aged 0–5 years diagnosed with stunting. Participants were recruited after obtaining research approval from the faculty and relevant institutions. Eligible participants were identified and contacted through community health centers (Puskesmas) in accordance with the predefined inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that the success of stunting prevention in pregnant women and stunting management in mothers with young children is influenced by nutritional knowledge, positive maternal attitudes, and support from family, community health workers, and the government. Pregnant women emphasized prevention, while mothers with stunted children focused on improving their children’s condition. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, positive attitudes and behavioral control among mothers are key to forming healthy behaviors. Multi-stakeholder collaboration through nutrition education and support starting from pregnancy is crucial to reducing stunting.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the correlation between the personality dimension of neuroticism and communication anxiety. In the personality dimensions formulated by Eysenck, there is one personality dimension that characterizes ‘anxiety-type feelings’, namely neuroticism which is associated with anxiety. The research was conducted using a cross-sectional study method with the communibiology paradigm which has the premise that biological factors play a role in determining individual communication behavior. Using simple random sampling, total of 49 Family Planning Counselors in East Java, Indonesia have neuroticism personality tendencies through the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Short Form. Meanwhile, the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension was used to measure the level of communication apprehension. The results showed that neuroticism was positively correlated with communication apprehension (r = 0.423). This finding can be explained by cortical emotional processing processes, including emotional regulation, cognitive appraisal, and heightened sensitivity to perceived social threats, which are commonly associated with individuals high in neuroticism. This study contributes to the growing body of research on personality by encouraging further exploration of how personality traits interact with communication-related psychological variables.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Islamic Gratitude psychoeducation groups in improving student resilience. The study used a pretest–multiple posttest control group quasi-experimental design. The experimental group received the Islamic Gratitude psychoeducation group intervention, while the control group received a placebo intervention. Each group consisted of 8 students. The resilience instrument used was the Taormina Resilience Scale (APRS). Resilience was measured through pretest, posttest, and follow-up stages. The data were analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA after fulfilling the assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance. The results of the analysis showed a significant increase in resilience in the experimental group compared to the control group, as well as a significant interaction between the measurement time and the group, indicating the effectiveness of the Islamic Gratitude intervention in continuously improving student resilience. These findings indicate that the Islamic Gratitude psychoeducation group is an effective and relevant intervention to be applied in Islamic value-based guidance and counseling services in higher education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-determination and career decision-making ability among senior high school students. The research is grounded in a global and national context showing that many adolescents, including Indonesian high school graduates, continue to experience uncertainty in choosing a career path. The study was conducted with Grade XII students of SMA Negeri 3 Banda Aceh using a quantitative, correlational design. The population comprised 346 students, and a sample of 177 was selected through simple random sampling based on the Issac and Michael table with a 5% margin of error. Instruments included the Self-Determination Scale covering autonomy, competence, and relatedness—and the Career Decision-Making Scale, which measures the stages of exploration, crystallization, choice, and clarification. Content validity was examined using the Content Validity Ratio (CVR), while reliability was assessed with Cronbach’s alpha, yielding high coefficients (α self-determination = 0.871; α career decision-making = 0.867). The analysis revealed that most students demonstrated moderate levels of both self-determination and career decision-making ability. Pearson’s product–moment correlation produced a coefficient of r = 0.533 with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a positive and highly significant relationship between self-determination and career decision-making. In other words, the higher the students’ autonomy, competence, and relatedness, the more mature their educational and occupational choices. This research underscores that fulfilling the basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness plays a crucial role in preparing students for the transition to higher education or the workforce. The findings recommend implementing school-based career guidance programs that foster intrinsic motivation, encouraging parental involvement to support adolescents’ exploratory freedom, and providing broader access to career information.

Abstract

Experiences of domestic violence during childhood can leave long-term psychological impacts that affect individuals into adulthood. This study aims to describe a portrait of resilience in individuals with childhood trauma resulting from experiences of domestic violence. The research employed a qualitative approach using descriptive phenomenological analysis involving five participants aged 18–30 who had experienced domestic violence since childhood. The findings indicate that despite experiencing profound emotional trauma, participants were able to develop resilience through internal strengths such as hope, responsibility, spirituality, and the ability to forgive, supported by external factors including extended family, friends, and safe environments. The process of resilience appeared unique to each individual and developed dynamically in accordance with their life experiences. In addition, factors such as temperament, cultural values, religious coping, and age were found to influence the adaptation processes they underwent. These findings emphasize the importance of supportive environments and psychological interventions that take into account personal backgrounds and socio-cultural contexts in helping survivors of domestic violence recover and lead healthier and more meaningful lives.

Abstract

Research on the meaning of life has been studied in an individual context, but there are still limited ones that explore the process of discovering the meaning of life in the context of local cultures that live communally, so this study aims to determine the process of discovering the meaning of life in people who practice Mori Tari Mori Uknu which is a local cultural kinship system that regulates the way of life in relationships with others. Data were collected using a qualitative phenomenological method through interviews and observations. Participants consisted of 5 people with an age range of 24-63 years. They are descendants of Negeri Waru, who also live in Negeri Waru, Central Maluku Regency, who practice Mori Tari Mori Uknu. To ensure the credibility of the data, a source triangulation method was used. The results of the study show that the meaning of life is discovered through several stages, namely (1) receiving and processing information originating from internal and external factors; (2) forming a will to live meaningfully, and (3) being realized in the practice of Mori Tari Mori Uknu, the implementation of which (4) produces positive and negative experiences. From these experiences (5), a source of meaning in life emerges, consisting of values, experiences, attitudes, and creativity. The findings of this study imply that local culture not only functions as a social tradition but also as a psychological framework that facilitates individuals in finding the meaning of life through devotion, self-reflection, and meaningful social relationships, as well as a guideline for directing behavior, ways of thinking, and social relations in society.

Abstract

Mathematics learning anxiety is a prevalent issue among high school students that can adversely affect academic performance and psychological well-being. Despite extensive quantitative research, little is known about the lived experiences and psychospiritual dimensions of students facing mathematics anxiety, particularly within Islamic educational settings. This qualitative case study explores the determinants of mathematics learning anxiety among students at Senior High School (SMA) Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Participants were purposively selected based on active enrollment, observable signs of mathematics anxiety, and willingness to provide informed consent. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically. Findings indicate that students experience psychosomatic symptoms, cognitive difficulties, altered learning behavior, and neurophysiological disturbances. Contributing factors include low self-efficacy, poor concentration, fear of failure, and the perception of mathematics as inherently difficult. Anxiety manifested during lessons and assessments, negatively influencing problem-solving, conceptual understanding, and overall academic achievement. This study highlights the need for holistic support strategies in schools that address both psychological and psychospiritual well-being, integrating educational and Islamic principles to reduce mathematics learning anxiety and enhance student outcomes.
