Abstract

The Indonesian government imposed a large-scale social restriction policy to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This policy affected the community, including mothers, and may have caused psychological strain on them. This study aimed to (i) establish a dataset on the psychological distress reported by mothers in Indonesia and (ii) identify demographic factors and pandemic-related characteristics that determine psychological distress. An online survey was administered from April 20 to April 25, 2020, and 1534 surveys were submitted. Bivariate and multivariate regression models were constructed to examine the associations between sociodemographic variables, depression, anxiety, and stress. The results demonstrated that the level of the psychological distress domain scores was relatively low; additionally, stress was reported the most, followed by anxiety and depression. The number of children and being informed of a neighbor who tested positive were correlated with depression symptoms. The mother's age and being notified of a neighbor who tested positive correlated with anxiety symptoms. The length of the marriage and being notified of a neighbor who tested positive correlated with stress symptoms. These data help identify persons at greater risk of suffering from psychological distress and provide a baseline for further research and interventions targeting the mothers' psychological distress.

Abstract

In Nusa Tenggara Barat province, on May 04, 2020, there were 275 cases out of 11,587 total cases in Indonesia. COVID19 not only has an impact on physical health issues, but it also impacts on psychological issues. One of the psychological issues is how society experiences negative emotion (e.g., depression) during the spread of COVID-19. This study aimed to explore the telecounseling process on the individual who had experienced negative emotion especially in the case of depressive disorder in the COVID-19 Nusa Tenggara Barat province. This study used a single-case research design approach, and the collected data were analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the participant reported everything she felt and thought about in stage I. Next, in stage II, the participant analyzed what she thought and wished. The statements of having suicidal thoughts, having negative emotions (e.g., feeling sad) and not being interested in any activities indicated that the participant experienced severe depression (BDI-II). Stage III took the form of a strategy of how the participant realized her goals. Through the telecounseling process, the participant understood the goals and strategies to achieve them amid COVID-19.

Abstract

Internet addiction (IA) is the disruption of a person's life because of the excessive use of the Internet. Severe IA can contribute to relationship conflicts, poor well-being, and low productivity. Research has found that IA can be attributed to maladaptive thinking and specific personality traits and with the Big Five in particular. However, the results of previous studies have been somewhat inconsistent, with previous meta-analytical research showing insignificant correlations. This study was a replication of a previous meta-analytic study and sought to improve the accuracy and the reliability of previous findings using different and larger samples. A total of 11 studies with 16 correlations and 8,481 participants were examined for this study. It was found that the Big Five had insignificant correlations (r = −0.233–0.061) with medium to high heterogeneity (I2 = 70.7% to 96.8%) and no publication bias (E = 0.725), which was consistent with previous meta-analytical studies and implied that personality gave only a small contribution to IA behavior. Instrumental differences in the measurement of IA and personality (Big Five) and the participant sample characteristics were the main weaknesses in this meta-analysis.

Abstract

Farmers’ adoption of multiple climate-smart agricultural practices may guarantee food security and economic and social efficiency considering the adverse effects of climate change. This study investigates the adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies among farmers in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The analysis used a primary data sample of 350 rice farmers and a multinomial logit model. The findings indicate that the most critical determinants of climate-smart agricultural technology adoption among farmers include perceived impact of climate change, farmer’s education level, farm size, access to credit, social capital, access to extension, secured farmland tenure, and constraint to market. The results demonstrate the need for policymaking designed to improve the probability of households applying climate-smart agricultural technology as the most crucial step in successfully implementing adaptive agricultural production strategies to climate change.

Abstract

There is a visible upward trend in the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages across the world, and Indonesia is no exception. This study examined the effectiveness of school-based programs to increase the knowledge of junior high school students with regard to sugar-sweetened beverages in an attempt to decrease their consumption. A one week intervention using a quasi-experimental design was conducted through the adoption of the Kids SIPsmartER (Lane, et al., 2017) program. The students who received the intervention showed significantly higher nutritional knowledge of drinks with high sugar content upon completion of the program. The intervention was also successful in inducing the desired attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control in students. The participants also evinced intentions of reducing their intake of sugar-sweetened beverages. Additionally, one week after the intervention, participating students reported that they had reduced their consumption of sugary drinks.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the role of Facebook access and partisan bias on the belief in misinformation in the political context of the 2019 Presidential Election. Frequent use of Facebook and partisan bias for presidential candidates were predicted to influence belief in misinformation about illegal migrant workers from China in Indonesia. Using a structured questionnaire, a total of 1,818 participants who were representative of the Indonesian voter population were interviewed using a structured questionnaire asking about their frequency of Facebook use, political support, awareness, and belief in misinformation about thousands of illegal migrant workers from China, as well as other demographic variables as part of national survey questions. Of these, there were 804 participants who were aware of misinformation about illegal migrant workers from China to be analyzed. The results of binomial logistic regression analysis showed that partisan bias significantly affected belief in misinformation —Subianto's (vs Widodo's) supporters significantly have (vs. have not) a belief in the misinformation, whereas the frequency of Facebook usage and the effect of their interactions were not significant. This finding shows the strength of the influence of political support on belief in misinformation and the need to further study the influence of social media in Indonesia's political context.

Abstract

The federal government of Malaysia recently implemented a nationwide Movement Control Order (MCO) to control the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the MCO has had a negative impact on people’s mental well-being. Interventions that can improve people’s mental health when their movement is restricted are therefore urgently needed. The present study investigated the impact of an ultra-brief online mindfulness-based intervention on mental health using a two-arm randomized controlled trial design. A total of 161 participants self-reported their distress, anxiety, psychological insecurity, and well-being at baseline and post-treatment, while 61 of them answered the same set of measures and the fear of COVID-19 scale in a follow-up study two weeks later. A multivariate analysis of covariance found the intervention reduced psychological insecurity levels measured during post-treatment. Moreover, gender, the experience of practicing mindfulness, and participants’ experiences of undergoing quarantine were found to play a role in post-treatment measures. No significant difference was found between the baseline and follow-up treatment. However, hierarchical multiple regression found that psychological insecurity measured at baseline positively predicted the level of fear after controlling for demographic variables. Overall, the findings suggest that an online mindfulness intervention is a potentially useful tool for alleviating people’s mental health difficulties
