Abstract

Introduction: Transgender women (locally known as waria) represent a key population that is highly vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Elevated rates of risky sexual behavior, limited access to healthcare services, and pervasive social stigma and discrimination intensify this vulnerability. Although intervention programs, such as Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT), are available, the awareness and personal experiences of transgender individuals concerning these services remain underexplored. This study aimed to delve into the lived experiences of transgender women in Malang, East Java. Method: This research employed a qualitative design informed by a phenomenological approach. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 12 purposively selected transgender participants, alongside field observations. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to uncover patterns and meanings within the participants' subjective experiences. Results: The study revealed four key themes: a limited understanding of HIV and its associated risks, low engagement with HIV testing services, psychological distress following a positive diagnosis, and risky sexual behaviors driven by financial necessity. Participants expressed inadequate knowledge about HIV transmission, inconsistent condom usage, irregular testing habits, emotional distress, internalized stigma, and ongoing high-risk behaviors influenced by economic pressures. Conclusions: Transgender women face a range of intricate challenges. Despite possessing some awareness of HIV, factors such as limited testing participation, psychological distress, and economic vulnerability contribute to the persistence of risky sexual practices. It is crucial to implement integrated interventions that focus on health education, mental health support, improved access to services, and economic empowerment to reduce the ongoing risk of HIV transmission effectively.

Abstract

Introduction: Caregivers of pediatric oncology patients play a crucial role in treatment adherence and emotional support, but often face significant psychological distress and physical fatigue, affecting their well-being and caregiving. This study assessed the impact of structured counseling on reducing distress and fatigue among these caregivers in a tertiary care setting. Methods: A pre–post interventional study involved 50 caregivers, measuring psychological distress with the Distress Thermometer and fatigue using the SAFE Scale. Baseline assessments were conducted prior to four individualized counseling sessions aimed at providing support, developing coping strategies, managing stress, and encouraging self-care. Post-intervention assessments utilized the same tools to evaluate changes in distress and fatigue. Results: Following the counseling intervention, caregivers exhibited statistically significant improvements across all measured outcomes. Mean distress scores decreased from 8.92 ± 0.80 to 4.96 ± 0.86, reflecting a mean reduction of 3.96 points (p < 0.001). The mean extent of fatigue declined from 15.00 ± 0.00 to 4.38 ± 0.49, indicating a mean reduction of 10.62 points (p < 0.001). Similarly, the mean fatigue impact score fell from 30.00 ± 0.00 to 12.00 ± 0.00, with a mean reduction of 18.00 points (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Structured psychiatric counseling significantly alleviated psychological distress and physical fatigue among caregivers of pediatric oncology patients. Integrating caregiver-focused counseling into routine pediatric oncology care may enhance caregivers' well-being and, in turn, improve patient outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Academic burnout is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced academic efficacy. Final-year nursing students are particularly vulnerable due to academic rigor, clinical expectations, intensive supervision, and the demands of undergraduate thesis completion. During this phase, peer support may function as a relational resource that helps students interpret and manage academic strain. This study aimed to explore and describe the lived experiences of final-year nursing students participating in peer support activities in relation to burnout during the thesis-writing process. Method: A qualitative study with a descriptive phenomenological approach was conducted. Twelve final-year nursing students engaged in thesis preparation were recruited using criterion sampling. Data were collected through face-to-face, semi-structured in-depth interviews and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis supported by NVivo 12 was applied, remaining grounded in Husserlian phenomenology through bracketing and reflexive journaling to ensure rigor and trustworthiness. Results: Five themes emerged: (1) contributing factors to burnout, including academic pressures, family constraints, and intrapersonal vulnerabilities; (2) manifestations of peer support in emotional, informational, and instrumental forms; (3) outcomes of peer support reflected in more structured thesis writing, enhanced motivation, and increased self-efficacy; (4) ideal support systems combining peer collaboration and individual coping strategies; and (5) the impact of insufficient peer support, resulting in daily disruption, hindered thesis progress, and psychological distress. Conclusions: Burnout is shaped by academic, relational, and personal factors. Participation in peer support activities strengthens motivation, self-efficacy, and academic engagement, whereas its absence intensifies psychological strain. Supportive peer environments are essential to sustain students’ resilience during thesis completion.
