Abstract

This study examines the ethical aspects of mental health advocacy for Indonesian university students atrisk of suicide, highlighting the constraints of prevailing Western psychological frameworks that emphasize biomedical secrecy and autonomy. These standardized techniques can engender estrangement and overlook Indonesian students’ cultural and community realities. This study utilizes an autoethnographic approach rooted in Buddhist psychology and the concept of cognitive justice to demonstrate how academic settings influenced by cognitive capitalism exacerbate mental health issues. The research presents an ethical alternative grounded in Buddhist principles, including Bodhicitta (altruistic intention), Anattā (non-self), and Kalyāṇamitta (spiritual friendship), emphasizing community healing and relational support. Lecturer-counselors are essential figures, delivering non-clinical, culturally relevant support that connects institutional procedures with students’ real-life experiences. The study attempts inflexible confidentiality standards in Western mental health procedures, contending that they may heighten suicide risk by isolating peers and family from the support process. It presents a three-tiered structure integrating universal prevention, targeted ethical support, and culturally tailored crisis intervention, harmonizing Buddhist ethical principles with global health standards. This integrative strategy reconceptualizes mental health advocacy as a moral and community pursuit, converting higher education institutions into compassionate ecosystems grounded in ethical solidarity, cognitive equity, and cultural significance. The study ultimately calls for transitioning to ethically inclusive, spiritually coherent,and structurally responsive mental health interventions in Indonesian universities.

Abstract

After the Kanjuruhan Stadium tragedy—riots after League 1 match between Arema FC and Persebayafootball teams at Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang, East Javahappened,multiple information of citizen journalism appeared on social media. This article aims to determine the accountability and influence of citizen journalism on the reporting of mainstream media dealing with the Kanjuruhan Stadium tragedy on the period between October 1 to 11, 2022. The method applied in this research is a case study with a qualitative approach. Data are collected using observation and documentation techniques from online mainstream media—which is news article—or even offline one—that is character generic in news broadcasts of television station. Meanwhile, data related to citizen journalism dealing with the tragedy are gained from social media. In conclusion, it is proven that information from citizen journalism contributes a major influence to the direction and headlines of mainstream mass media, even though not all of the information is reliable. Initially, mainstream mass media reports such as detik.com, kompas.com, tvOne, Metro TV and Kompas TV tended to blame Arema FC supporters a.k.a Aremania. The focus of the mainstream mass media reporting was Aremania’s anarchic action regarding their favourite team—Arema FC—lost the match against Persebaya. Based on the point of view of the report, the shooting of lachrymatory gas was considered normal due to the out of control chaos happened. Anyhow, not until a day, did the perspective of mainstream mass media reports reverse. It happened due to the emergence of citizen journalism as Twitter tweets, voice recordings, videos and photos on social media. Mainstream mass media then wrapped the reports of Kanjuruhan Stadium tragedy as horrors experienced by Aremaniain the tragedy. The authorities were blamed on these reports. They were figured as abusive party because they fired lachrymatory gas hastily to the supporters.

Abstract

Social capital has been considered an important factor on mental and physical health. However, thereis no consensus on its best measurement. This research examines the effect of informal social capital (family and community support) on the health quality of the elderly through self-assessed health status (SAHS), self-care ability (ADL), and mental health (PTSD). This study introduces the use of instrumental variable (IV) estimation to address endogeneity in evaluating social capital’s effect on elderly well-being in the context of post-tsunami Aceh. Utilizing secondary data from the 2022 STAR survey, the study applies a quantitative approach with an IV probit model to analyze the impact of social capital on binary health outcomes (SAHS, ADL, PTSD). Instrumental variables include residence status, number of social networks, and life satisfaction chosen for their correlation with social capital but exogeneity with health outcomes. Tests for endogeneity, weak instruments, and over-identification were conducted to validate the analytical framework. This research found that informal social capital significantly improves physical health (SAHS and ADL) and mental health (PTSD), although community participation shows no significant associationwith PTSD. In conclusion, support from family and neighbors plays a vital role in enhancing elderly well-being postdisaster.Policymakers should prioritize strengthening informal support systems to improve the quality of life among the elderly.

Abstract

Mangupa is a traditional Mandailing ritual practice imbued with profound spiritual and social dimensions,serving as a form of transcendental communication that connects individuals to their community and a higher spiritual \realm. In the context of contemporary mental health services, this practice encounters complex dynamics. This study adopts a phenomenological approach to explore the subjective experiences of indigenous practitioners, mental health professionals, and patients in interpreting Mangupa as part of the psychosocial recovery process. The findings reveal that this ritual fosters therapeutic trust, provides emotional support, and offers a meaningful space for spiritual recovery. However, the integration of Mangupa into clinical settings is often constrained by administrative limitations and dominant biomedical standards. This study emphasizes the importance of fostering dialogical spaces between cultural practicesand modern medical approaches not to preserve traditional essence per se, but to generate new, ontextually dynamic meanings. Accordingly, the encounter between these two paradigms illustrates the potential for a transformative shift toward a more inclusive, participatory, and culturally grounded mental health service.

Abstract

This study examines research trends on promoting mental health literacy in children’s literature throughbibliometric analysis. With growing recognition of children’s mental health as a critical issue, literature has emerged as a valuable tool to foster emotional resilience and well-being. This study aims to identify emerging themes and shifts in focus, ensuring future studies address the most pressing mental health concerns in children’s literature. Additionally, mapping these trends highlights under-researched areas, guiding targeted investigations to strengthen evidence-based interventions and support for children. This study employed data from Scopus and found seven eligible publications between 2015 and 2024. To comprehensively analyze the collected data, VOSviewer is applied to capture co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrences, and thematic clusters. The results highlight a rise in publications during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting increased global attention to mental health. The United States leads research output, followed by China and the United Kingdom, though cross-institutional collaborations remain limited. Prominent themes include resilience, emotional intelligence, and the impact of bullying, with emerging topics like digital interventions and bibliotherapy. However, areas such as the experiences of foster children and those facing cyberbullying are underexplored. The study underscores the need for interdisciplinary approaches and international partnerships to address these gaps. Fragmented research themes highlight the importance of broader integration. By promoting emotional literacy and resilience, children’s literature holds significant potential to support mental health initiatives, offering valuable insights for future research and practical applications.

Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, zakat played a crucial role in mitigating the community’s economicrisks. Although technological developments have encouraged the emergence of digital zakat paymentplatforms, their adoption in South Kalimantan has been relatively slow. Many zakat payers (muzaki) continue to prefer traditional methods of zakat payment. This study aims to understand the reasons behind this preference by examining muzaki’s perceptions, subjective norms,and attitudes, as well as their relation to the spiritual comfort they experience. Using a qualitative approach,data were collected through in-depth interviews with academics, zakat payers, and staff from Zakat Management Organizations (BAZNAS and LAZNAS) in South Kalimantan. The findings reveal that muzaki’s perceptions of traditional zakat payment are driven by several key factors, including proximity to zakatreceiving institutions, deeply rooted habits, ease of implementation, and negative perceptions of digital zakat methods. Muzaki’s subjective norms regarding zakatare shaped by various sources of knowledge, such as digital media, BAZNAS services, government initiatives,print media, banking institutions, self-initiative, family,religious scholars, digital literacy, and peers. Muzaki’s attitudes in the re-actualization of zakat managementare reflected in efforts to explain zakat payment methods at BAZNAS, provide information about zakat institutions,encourage others to pay zakat, and describe zakat distribution and utilization programs. In addition, the study finds that factors influencing muzaki’s decision to pay zakat directly include the perceived importance of akad (contract) in zakat payment, satisfaction, the use of bank accounts, the lack of legal endorsementand socialization from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), as well as limited communication about zakat digitalization, which leads some muzaki to reject digital zakat payments. Theoretically, these findings reinforce the Theory of Planned Behavior, the concept of maslahah in Islamic economics, and the Spiritual Well-being Theory in explaining the interconnectedness of religious values, culture, and spiritual comfort with muzaki behavior. Practically, the results provide insights for zakat institutions to design digitalization strategies that are sensitive to spiritual and local cultural values,ensuring that technological innovation aligns with the preservation of meaningful religious practices.
