Abstract

Bipolar disorder often coexists with gynecological conditions such as endometriosis, presenting clinical challenges due to overlapping hormonal and neuropsychiatric influences. The impact of hormonal therapy on mood stability in women with affective disorders remains underexplored. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman with bipolar II disorder, stable for nearly two years on lamotrigine, who developed mood destabilization after initiating hormonal treatment for stage III endometriosis. Sequential regimens—dienogest, norethisterone, and ethinylestradiol–levonorgestrel—were temporally associated with new or worsening mixed affective symptoms, including agitation, insomnia, irritability, and emotional lability, despite adherence to mood stabilizers. Her Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score increased from 9 to 21 within three months, with laboratory evaluation showing elevated estradiol and suppressed luteinizing hormone, supporting a hormone-related mechanism. A structured literature review (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, 2000–2024) identified limited but consistent evidence that synthetic progestins may exacerbate psychiatric symptoms in mood-vulnerable populations through neuroendocrine and neurotransmitter modulation. This case underscores the importance of recognizing hormonally induced mood dysregulation in women with pre-existing psychiatric disorders and highlights the need for proactive management strategies. We recommend pre-treatment psychiatric screening, structured and longitudinal mood monitoring throughout hormonal therapy, and close interdisciplinary collaboration between gynecology and psychiatry to optimize outcomes. Integrated care approaches may reduce the risk of mood destabilization, enhance safety, and improve quality of life for women facing the dual burden of bipolar disorder and endometriosis.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of goal setting training in improving future orientation among the youth community known as “The Lost Boys” in Randutatah Village, Paiton District, Probolinggo Regency. The method used is psychological intervention with a participatory training approach through five sessions, namely opening, future inspiration, self-potential exploration, goal setting, and closing. The results of the study showed positive changes in the participants after attending the training, where they began to be able to recognize their potential, set short-term and long-term goals, and show increased motivation and productive behavior such as reducing risky behavior, stopping alcohol consumption, and being active in social activities. This training also helped participants understand the importance of having a clear direction in life and responsibility for the future. Overall, goal setting training has proven to be effective as a psychological intervention strategy for shaping a positive future orientation, increasing self-awareness, and fostering a commitment to change in at-risk adolescents. Implementation can be enhanced through continuous mentoring, collaboration with community leaders, and integration into youth empowerment programs to sustain behavioral change. Future efforts should expand participation, involve family and peers, and use digital media for ongoing motivation and goal tracking. This study provides a novel community-based application of goal-setting training among at-risk rural youth in Indonesia, a population rarely addressed in previous intervention research.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected mental health and health-related behaviors, including tobacco use. University students represent a vulnerable group due to academic disruptions, social isolation, and lifestyle changes. This cross-sectional study examined the psychosocial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on smoking behavior among Indonesian university students. An online survey of 62 respondents assessed demographics, smoking status, changes in smoking patterns, and psychosocial factors such as anxiety, stress, mood, and sleep problems. Among participants, 29% were smokers, mostly male (94%) and aged 20–23 years (61%). Conventional tobacco use predominated (83%), while e-cigarettes accounted for 17%. During the pandemic, 61% reported no change in smoking frequency, 33% a moderate increase, and 6% a heavy increase. Interestingly, students with unchanged smoking habits reported higher psychosocial distress, while those who increased smoking reported fewer complaints, suggesting diverse coping strategies. These findings highlight the complex relationship between stress and tobacco use among Indonesian students and underscore the need for integrated mental health and smoking prevention programs in universities.

Abstract

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition triggered by trauma, often exacerbated by medical comorbidities like thyrotoxicosis. This report aims to illustrate the complex interaction between PTSD, endocrine dysfunction, and psychosocial stress, highlighting the need for an integrated treatment approach. This case report is based on a clinical case of a 31-year-old female with PTSD and comorbid thyrotoxicosis treated at a hospital in Indonesia. Data were collected through clinical history, physical and psychiatric examinations, and a review of relevant literature. The patient developed PTSD symptoms following a motorcycle accident, including nightmares, hyperarousal, insomnia, and avoidance behavior. Her pre-existing thyrotoxicosis amplified anxiety and physiological arousal, while psychosocial stressors such as legal issues and unemployment perpetuated her symptoms. A combined treatment of Sertraline 50 mg/day, short-term Alprazolam, trauma-focused therapy, and spiritual coping strategies resulted in initial improvement in anxiety and emotional regulation. Managing PTSD with comorbid thyrotoxicosis and psychosocial stress requires a biopsychosocial-endocrine approach. Coordinated pharmacological, psychotherapeutic, and psychosocial interventions are essential for symptom control and functional recovery. This case underscores the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in complex PTSD presentations.

Abstract

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for pain and inflammation, yet their potential impact on sleep quality remains uncertain. This study aimed to examine the relationship between NSAID use and insomnia symptoms among adults in a hospital setting. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at RSI Jemursari Hospital, Surabaya, using medical records and structured questionnaires to assess sleep quality among NSAID users. Participants were grouped based on drug type, duration, and frequency of use. Statistical analyses employed Pearson’s correlation and Chi-square tests. Results showed that long-term or frequent NSAID use was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of sleep disturbances, particularly difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep (r = 0.46, p = 0.02). Psychological stress and chronic pain also aggravated insomnia severity. These findings suggest a complex interaction between analgesic therapy and sleep regulation, emphasizing the need for clinicians to assess sleep health during prolonged NSAID administration. Integrating sleep evaluation into pain management protocols may help improve both therapeutic outcomes and patient well-being.

Abstract

Anxiety disorders are common in older adults and often present with evolving clinical patterns that complicate diagnosis and management. This study aims to describe the diagnostic transition from panic disorder to generalized anxiety disorder in an elderly patient through a narrative literature review integrated with a single-case illustration. The literature was identified from major academic databases and synthesized narratively, while the clinical case involved a 62-year-old male with a history of panic disorder whose symptoms gradually shifted into persistent and generalized anxiety over a seven-year period. Clinical evaluation was supported by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 and the World Health Organization Quality of Life–BREF. The findings indicate predominant generalized anxiety symptoms with moderate impairment in quality of life and no clinically significant depressive features, possibly related to sustained pharmacological management and cumulative psychosocial and medical stressors. This case illustrates that anxiety disorders in later life may evolve dynamically over time and highlights the importance of longitudinal assessment, careful diagnostic reconsideration, and integrated biopsychosocial management. Further studies using larger samples and objective biomarkers are needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying diagnostic evolution in geriatric populations.

Abstract

The Indonesian start-up sector faces unique human resource challenges due to high uncertainty and intense competition for young talent. While perceived organizational support (POS) predicts work engagement in traditional organizations, its role in dynamic start-up environments remains underexplored. This scoping review systematically maps empirical evidence on the POS–work engagement relationship among Indonesian start-up employees and identifies critical research gaps.Following Arksey and O'Malley's framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we searched Google Scholar (2019–2025) using PEOS criteria combining "perceived organizational support," "work engagement," "start-up," and "Indonesia." From 701 records, 37 underwent full-text screening after removing duplicates and irrelevant titles/abstracts. Only three studies met eligibility criteria: empirical research examining both POS and work engagement among Indonesian start-up employees. This limited yield reflects the nascent state of research at this specific intersection.All three studies (n=766 employees) demonstrated significant positive POS–work engagement relationships (β=0.42–0.52, p<0.05; 21–27% variance explained). Measurements used UWES-9/17 and SPOS (6–16 items). However, critical gaps emerged: geographic concentration in Jakarta-Bandung corridors limits generalizability; sectoral focus on IT/e-commerce excludes emerging industries (fintech, healthtech); cross-sectional designs prevent causal inference; and lack of start-up-specific moderators (job insecurity, equity compensation, flat hierarchies).Despite limited evidence, findings suggest robust POS–work engagement relationships in Indonesian start-ups comparable to traditional sectors. Future research requires multi-site, multi-sector, longitudinal designs testing start-up-specific boundary conditions of organizational support theory.

Abstract

Cyberbullying has become a major psychosocial issue among adolescents alongside the rapid growth of digital media use. This study aimed to adapt and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the Cyberbullying Scale (CBS) developed by Stewart et al. (2014). A descriptive quantitative design was used involving 392 adolescents aged 12–18 years from 10 provinces in Indonesia, recruited through purposive sampling via an online survey. The adaptation followed WHO cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, including forward translation, backward translation, expert review, and pilot testing. Data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with JASP software. EFA results showed a unidimensional structure with an eigenvalue of 9.628 explaining 68.8% of the total variance, while all items demonstrated strong factor loadings (0.689–0.889) without item removal. CFA confirmed significant item loadings on the cyberbullying factor (0.643–0.976, p < 0.001). Reliability analysis indicated excellent internal consistency (α = 0.968). However, CFA global fit indices were below recommended thresholds (CFI = 0.839, TLI = 0.809, RMSEA = 0.182), suggesting that the one-factor model may not fully represent cyberbullying experiences in the Indonesian context. Overall, the Indonesian CBS showed strong reliability and item-level validity, although further refinement and cross-validation are needed before broader application among Indonesian adolescentsCyberbullying has become a major psychosocial issue among adolescents alongside the rapid growth of digital media use.
