Abstract

This study examines the forms and intensity of family social support provided to elderly individuals in Sugihwaras Village, Prambon Subdistrict, Nganjuk Regency, through four key dimensions: emotional, esteem, instrumental, and informational support. In the context of rural communities, where institutional services are often limited, the family functions as the primary support system in ensuring the physical and psychosocial well-being of elderly individuals. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative research design, the study employed a census method involving 37 elderly individuals cohabiting with family members. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and document analysis. The results indicate that the overall level of family social support is high. Among the four dimensions, instrumental support scored the highest, reflecting substantial family engagement in fulfilling daily physical needs. In contrast, esteem support recorded the lowest score, highlighting a lack of symbolic acknowledgment and emotional affirmation. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive strategies that strengthen not only functional caregiving but also the affective and symbolic aspects of support, in order to foster dignity, autonomy, and meaningful aging.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of disaster preparedness among the community of Cikahuripan Village, Lembang Subdistrict, West Bandung Regency, in facing 4 natural hazards. A quantitative descriptive approach was used, applying the LIPI– UNESCO/ISDR (2006) instrument, which consists of four parameters: disaster risk knowledge, emergency response planning, early warning systems, and resource mobilization. A total of 98 respondents from all neighborhood units (RW) in the village were selected as the research sample. The results showed that the Community Preparedness Index (CPI) reached 74.2, which falls into the "Prepared" category. The highest score was in disaster risk knowledge (83.15), followed by emergency response planning (76.4), early warning systems (67), and the lowest score was in resource mobilization (46.5). The low score in resource mobilization indicates a lack of capacity among residents in organizing logistics, emergency funds, and asset protection during disasters. Based on these findings, a community-based intervention program named "SIAGA CIKAHURIPAN" was designed, focusing on simulation and training activities to enhance the community's ability to mobilize local resources. The program is structured to involve village authorities, community organizations, women, and youth as key actors. This research is expected to serve as a reference for disaster preparedness policy development and the implementation of community-based disaster management programs in high-risk rural areas

Abstract

Independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) constitutes a fundamental aspect of the lives of people with visual impairments, enabling them to live with autonomy rather than complete reliance on others. This study provides an empirical account of the independence of persons with visual impairments at Sentra Wyata Guna Bandung, analyzed across four dimensions: (1) responsibility, (2) autonomy, (3) initiative, and (4) self-control. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, participants were selected through purposive sampling, and data were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, and document review. The findings reveal that, in terms of responsibility, participants exhibited compliance with schedules and institutional regulations, demonstrated through consistent engagement in self-care and vocational training. Autonomy was reflected in their confidence to manage daily tasks independently and in their freedom to select training programs aligned with personal interests, thereby shaping orientation toward independent living after leaving the center. Initiative emerged in the proactive use of adaptive strategies in ADL and the independent utilization of assistive devices such as folding canes, talking watches, and braille slates. Nevertheless, challenges persisted in the domain of self-control, particularly with regard to vulnerability to emotional influences, partial limitations in ADL performance, and continued reliance on external support. In response, this study introduces a program to enhance the self-control of people with visual impairments in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at Sentra Wyata Guna Bandung. The program seeks to reinforce the role of social workers as facilitators through three key strategies: (a) the development of training modules, (b) technical training in emotional regulation, ADL, and Orientation & Mobility (O&M), and (c) modification of assistive devices to foster greater independence.

Abstract

Empowerment is the process of empowering and empowering communities to control their lives independently. This study aims to empirically describe the empowerment of beneficiaries of the Indonesian Economic Heroes Program (PENA) in developing micro, small, and medium enterprises in Pasirjambu District, Bandung Regency. The research approach used a quantitative method with a questionnaire survey, resulting in reliability using Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.962). Empowerment is in the high category, with the social aspect at 87.18% and the economic aspect at 94.87%. Based on cross-tabulation, there is a correlation between empowerment and entrepreneurship at 92.30%, indicating that beneficiaries of the PENA program can develop businesses. However, there are still indicators with relatively low results, such as the ability to purchase large commodities and production capabilities. These findings emphasize the need for mentoring to strengthen motivation, improve skills, and provide technical support for production so that the economic empowerment of beneficiaries is more optimal and sustainable. It is also necessary to develop business networks through digitalization and further enhance the ability to develop businesses so that they become more independent.

Abstract

The Family Hope Program (Program Keluarga Harapan – PKH) is a conditional cash transfer program designed to improve the quality of human resources among poor households through enhanced access to health, education, and social welfare services. In recent years, however, the compliance verification mechanism that constitutes the core of PKH has no longer been strictly implemented. This study aims to examine how beneficiary households continue to comply with program obligations despite the absence of formal verification, using a case study conducted in Cipayung District, East Jakarta. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focused group discussions, field observations allowing unobtrusive observation of beneficiary behavior, and document analysis. Informants consisted of PKH administrators, social facilitators, and beneficiary households. The findings reveal that although PKH has gradually shifted toward a quasi-unconditional assistance scheme, beneficiaries’ compliance in accessing health and education services remains relatively well maintained. This condition is influenced by the internalization of program values, long-term participation experience, the mediating role of social facilitators, and the availability of adequate urban service infrastructure. The study concludes that social and normative mechanisms rooted in awareness, habituation, and moral commitment can partially substitute formal compliance verification, particularly in urban contexts. Nevertheless, the re-strengthening of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms remains essential to ensure the sustainability of PKH’s long-term objectives in improving human capital and breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty.

Abstract

Abstract Stunting is influenced by biological factors and broader social determinants, and families formed through early marriage face layered vulnerabilities that weaken household-level prevention. This study aimed to describe stunting prevention behaviors among early married families in Sukahaji Subdistrict, Babakan Ciparay District, Bandung City, using a three-level prevention framework. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted through in-depth interviews with five mothers who married before age 19, selected purposively, supported by key informants (community social workers and posyandu cadres), as well as observation and documentation; data were analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that primary prevention was fragile due to low literacy on stunting and pregnancy nutrition, incomplete understanding of health guidance, psychosocial barriers, and socioeconomic constraints that made pregnancy diets largely dependent on household food availability. Secondary prevention was reactive and relied on posyandu monitoring and cadre prompting, with responses focused on increasing food intake and providing milk, supported by PMT and DASHAT but not consistently grounded in comprehensive nutrition understanding. Tertiary prevention involved gradual behavior change following external guidance, yet sustained home-based rehabilitation was constrained by limited practical nutrition skills, economic barriers, and weak social support, and preventive outreach to adolescents to reduce early marriage was uneven. These findings highlight the central role of posyandu cadres as local connectors and the need to strengthen maternal health literacy, practical caregiving skills, and socioeconomic support to achieve sustainable household-level stunting prevention.
