<![CDATA[. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies affecting women worldwide and frequently requires mastectomy as a definitive treatment. Although mastectomy is effective in controlling disease progression, it often results in significant physical and psychological consequences, particularly disturbances in self-concept and self-acceptance. Impaired self-acceptance may negatively affect psychological adaptation, coping mechanisms, and overall quality of life in post-mastectomy patients.This study aimed to describe the application of the Self Reflection Mirror technique in improving self-acceptance among post-mastectomy breast cancer patients through the framework of Roy Adaptation Model (RAM). A qualitative case study design with a phenomenological approach was employed involving two post-mastectomy breast cancer patients treated at RSUD Dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and nursing documentation. The Self Reflection Mirror intervention was implemented for three consecutive days based on Roy’s self-concept mode.The findings demonstrated an improvement in patients’ self-acceptance, reflected by reduced mirror avoidance, increased positive self-affirmation, improved body image perception, and greater willingness to engage in social interactions. The application of Roy Adaptation Model facilitated adaptive coping responses to physical and psychological changes following mastectomy. This study concludes that the Self Reflection Mirror technique is a beneficial psychosocial nursing intervention to enhance self-acceptance among post-mastectomy breast cancer patients.]]>

This study used a descriptive qualitative method. The data of this research was taken from the movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan. This movie is also the object of this research. the researcher used only two types of instruments, checklists and observation documentation obtained from the research object. There were two kinds of observation used by the researcher, namely; the phases of culture shock and the effect of culture shock checklist. Both of the checklist was adapted from the theory by Ward (2001). The findings revealed that there are four phases of culture shock experienced by the characters in the Bajrangi Baijhaan movie, namely; honeymoon, crisis, recovery, and adaptation phase. The Crisis phase appears most frequently, with 5 scenes, followed by the Adaptation phase with 3 scenes, the Recovery phase with 1 scene, and finally the Honeymoon phase with 1 scene. Furthermore, the effects of culture shock in Bajrangi Bhaijaan movie are balanced between negative and positive. The experience of culture shock in the Bajrangi Bhaijaan movie begins with various negative effects such as fear, anxiety, and confusion arising from differences in language, religion, and nationality. However, as the story develops, many positive effects also emerge, including empathy, courage, gratitude, and peace. ]]>

<![CDATA[Self-identity is a vital aspect of adolescent development that does not automatically mature with age, but rather requires a deep reflective process and sufficient psychological support. School-based counseling services, particularly individual counseling with a reality therapy approach, can serve as a restorative space for students experiencing identity confusion. This study aims to describe the process and outcomes of applying reality therapy techniques in helping a vocational high school student shape a clearer sense of self. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving one tenth-grade student at SMK Negeri 18 Jakarta. The findings reveal that individual counseling based on reality therapy helps the counselee recognize psychological needs, re-evaluate life choices, and build confidence in engaging with social roles. The counseling process emerged as a transformative experience that touched the student's personal and emotional dimensions, showing tangible improvements in behavior, social participation, and self-perception. This study recommends wider implementation of similar counseling approaches, supported by school policies that prioritize students’ long-term psychological growth.]]>

<![CDATA[Government Employees with Employment Contracts (Pegawai Pemerintah dengan Perjanjian Kerja/PPPK) are public personnel who engage in employment relationships based on employment contracts with government institutions for a specified period. Such employment relationships give rise to rights and obligations for the parties, which are subject to the provisions of contract law. In practice, unilateral termination of employment contracts by the government against PPPK frequently occurs before the expiration of the agreed contract period. This condition gives rise to legal issues, particularly concerning the protection of PPPK’s rights as parties to a contractual employment relationship. This study aims to analyze the legal protection afforded to PPPK who experience unilateral termination of employment contracts by the government, as well as to examine the legal remedies available to PPPK from the perspective of civil law. The research method employed is normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources, which are analyzed qualitatively. The analysis focuses on the PPPK employment contract as the source of the legal relationship and on the principles of civil law governing the performance and termination of contracts. The results of the study indicate that legal protection for PPPK who experience unilateral termination of employment contracts by the government is derived from the contractual employment relationship, which is subject to the civil law regime. PPPK holds the status of a private legal subject with the right to certainty of employment duration and fulfillment of contractual obligations as agreed. Unilateral termination of employment contracts that contradicts the employment agreement may be classified as breach of contract or an unlawful act. In such circumstances, PPPK may pursue civil legal remedies in the form of breach of contract claims and/or tort claims to seek compensation and restoration of rights. This study emphasizes that the application of the principles of contractual justice and good faith is essential to ensuring effective legal protection for PPPK against unilateral termination of employment contracts by the government.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the role of Telkomsel Public Relations (PR), particularly within the Retention and Loyalty Operation (RLO) Division, in maintaining customer loyalty through the Telkomsel Poin partnership program in Bengkulu City. The problem addressed in this research is how PR activities contribute to sustaining customer loyalty in a competitive telecommunications industry. The aim of this study is to analyze the implementation of PR roles in supporting the Telkomsel Poin program as a customer retention strategy. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants include the Supervisor and Staff of the RLO Division, two Telkomsel Poin customers, and a partner merchant (Solaria Restaurant). The findings indicate that PR performs four main roles: communication technician, expert prescriber, communication facilitator, and problem-solving facilitator. These roles are reflected in the preparation of program communication materials, selection of strategic partners aligned with customer needs, facilitation of two-way communication between customers and partners, and assistance in resolving customer complaints during point redemption. The study concludes that the PR role significantly contributes to maintaining customer loyalty by encouraging repeated participation and strengthening long-term relationships.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the use of sarcasm in virtual communication within Mobile Legends gameplay content on YouTube, particularly on the @PascolKintil channel. The development of digital communication through social media platforms enables interaction without face-to-face contact, influencing how individuals express opinions, emotions, and criticism through language. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach based on Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) theory to examine how sarcastic expressions appear in digital gaming interactions. Data were collected through non-participant observation of two selected YouTube videos and documentation of verbal expressions that contain sarcasm. The analysis process involved data reduction, data presentation, and interpretative conclusion drawing. The results show that sarcasm functions not only as a form of criticism and humor but also as a strategy for expressing frustration, reducing tension during gameplay, strengthening team solidarity, and building digital identity within online gaming communities. In virtual communication contexts where non-verbal cues are limited, sarcastic meanings rely heavily on textual and verbal expressions as well as shared contextual understanding among players and audiences. The study concludes that sarcasm represents an adaptive communication strategy that shapes interaction patterns and digital communication culture among online gaming communities on YouTube.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the indirect illocutionary acts performed by Bu Tedjo in the Indonesian short film Tilik (2020) and to examine their functions within social interactions. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected through observation and documentation by watching the film repeatedly, transcribing the dialogues, identifying Bu Tedjo’s utterances, and classifying the indirect illocutionary acts based on Searle’s (1979) theory. Furthermore, the functions of the illocutionary acts were analyzed using Leech’s (1993) classification, namely competitive, convivial, collaborative, and conflictive. The findings reveal that there are sixteen utterances containing indirect illocutionary acts, which are classified into four types: request (6%), assertion (75%), question (13%), and suggestion (6%). Assertion is the most dominant type, indicating that Bu Tedjo frequently uses indirect language to express opinions, suspicions, and moral judgments. In terms of function, the conflictive function is the most dominant (69%), followed by collaborative (19%), competitive (6%), and convivial (6%). The dominance of conflictive function shows that indirect utterances are mainly used to criticize, accuse, and express suspicion, although they are delivered indirectly to maintain politeness and social harmony. This study concludes that indirect illocutionary acts in Tilik function as pragmatic strategies to negotiate power, influence others, and manage interpersonal relationships within a cultural context that values indirectness and politeness.]]>

<![CDATA[Bengkulu as their university of choice. The problem addressed in this research is how students search for and utilize information before deciding to enroll in a particular university. The aim of this study is to understand the process, sources, and utilization of information used by students when selecting Universitas Dehasen Bengkulu. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving six new students from different study programs. The data were analyzed descriptively to identify patterns of information needs, information search, and information use.

Students obtain information from both informal sources such as family, friends, and alumni, and formal sources such as social media and official university promotional media. The information is compared across sources before being used as the basis for decision-making. In conclusion, information-seeking behavior helps students reduce uncertainty and strengthen their confidence in selecting Universitas Dehasen Bengkulu as their university.]]>

<![CDATA[The postpartum period is a crucial transition period for both mother and baby, where successful breastfeeding is a key factor in supporting the health of both. One common problem experienced by postpartum mothers is sore nipples, generally caused by improper breastfeeding techniques and a lack of maternal knowledge. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge of breastfeeding techniques and the incidence of sore nipples at the Telaga Dewa Community Health Center in Bengkulu City in 2025. This study was quantitative, using an analytical survey design. The population consisted of 57 postpartum mothers. The sampling method was accidental sampling, and data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The results of the univariate analysis showed that almost half of the postpartum mothers (35.0%) had inadequate knowledge, and almost half (40.4%) had adequate knowledge. A small proportion (24.6%) had good knowledge, and the majority (56.1%) experienced sore nipples during breastfeeding. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between maternal knowledge of breastfeeding techniques and the incidence of sore nipples, with a p-value of 0.003 (p<0.05). Researchers recommend that postpartum mothers practice proper breastfeeding techniques to address sore nipples. Mothers can seek information about breastfeeding techniques from their local midwife or through social media.]]>

<![CDATA[The use of Long-Acting Contraceptive Methods (LACMs) is an important strategy in family planning programs due to their high effectiveness and low failure rates. However, the utilization of LACMs in the community remains relatively low, partly influenced by psychological factors such as self-efficacy. This study aims to determine the correlation between self-efficacy and the use of Long-Acting Contraceptive Methods among Couples of Reproductive Age in the working area of the Lubuk Pinang Health Center in 2025. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all Couples of Reproductive Age in the working area of the Lubuk Pinang Health Center, with a sample of 96 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using a self-efficacy questionnaire and contraceptive use data, then analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had low self-efficacy, totaling 55 individuals (57.3%), and most used non-LACM methods, totaling 63 individuals (65.6%). Bivariate analysis indicated a significant correlation between self-efficacy and the use of LACMs (p-value = 0.000). Respondents with high self-efficacy were more likely to use LACMs compared to those with low self-efficacy. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between self-efficacy and the use of Long-Acting Contraceptive Methods among Couples of Reproductive Age in the working area of the Lubuk Pinang Health Center in 2025. It is expected that healthcare providers can enhance the self-efficacy of Couples of Reproductive Age through education and counseling to increase the use of LACMs.]]>
