Abstract

Major personal life transitions often present substantial psychological challenges affecting emotional well-being, daily functioning, and personal identity. Although psychological counseling is widely recognized as effective for emotional distress, limited qualitative research has explored clients' experiences of counseling during major life transitions. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of clients who underwent psychological counseling while navigating major life transitions and to understand how counseling contributed to their psychological adjustment and meaning reconstruction. A qualitative phenomenological design was employed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with adults who had experienced major life transitions—including bereavement, divorce, unemployment, chronic illness, relocation, retirement, career change, marriage, and parenthood—and who had participated in psychological counseling. Data were analyzed iteratively following IPA procedures to identify recurring patterns while preserving each participant's unique experience. The analysis generated six interconnected themes: emotional disruption during life transitions, disruption of daily functioning and identity, entering counseling, development of the therapeutic relationship, psychological change through counseling, and meaning reconstruction with renewed life direction. Counseling was experienced as a gradual, collaborative process in which empathy, trust, and psychological safety enabled participants to explore difficult emotions. Through the therapeutic relationship, participants developed greater emotional awareness, adaptive coping strategies, improved emotional regulation, reconstructed self-identities, and more coherent life narratives. This study concludes that psychological counseling is a transformative process extending beyond symptom reduction by fostering identity reconstruction, meaning-making, and resilience during major life transitions, offering practical implications for counselors through person-centered, meaning-oriented, relationship-focused interventions.

Abstract

Teacher burnout has become an increasing concern within the Malaysian education sector, where heightened job demands continue to challenge teachers' psychological well-being and professional performance. Although previous studies have identified various determinants of burnout, limited evidence has examined the combined influence of job demands and job resources among Malaysian secondary school teachers using the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model. This study therefore investigated the effects of school leadership support, student behaviour, school performance, and workload on job burnout among secondary school teachers in Kuala Muda District, Kedah, Malaysia. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 135 teachers selected from secondary schools in the district. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyses. The findings revealed that workload was the strongest predictor of job burnout, while student behaviour also significantly predicted burnout after controlling for other variables. These findings highlight the dominant role of job demands, particularly workload, in explaining teacher burnout within the study context and provide empirical support for applying the JD-R model in Malaysian secondary schools. The study offers practical insights for school administrators and policymakers to prioritise workload management and develop evidence-informed strategies to safeguard teachers' well-being and sustain educational quality.

Abstract

Schizoaffective disorder, depressive type, is a severe psychiatric condition characterized by the coexistence of psychotic symptoms and a major depressive episode, with substantial functional impairment and potential suicide risk. Diagnostic and therapeutic complexity may increase when the disorder co-occurs with schizoid personality disorder, particularly because social withdrawal, restricted affect, and anhedonia can resemble negative or depressive symptoms. This case report describes a 33-year-old woman diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, depressive type, with comorbid schizoid personality disorder. Clinical assessment included psychiatric interviews, collateral information from family members, mental status examination, behavioral observation, reconstruction of symptom chronology, and review of psychosocial history. The patient developed auditory hallucinations and persecutory ideas approximately four weeks before admission, followed by prominent depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation after the sudden death of a primary support figure. Long-standing social detachment, preference for solitary activities, restricted emotional expression, and limited interpersonal relationships were present since early adulthood and preceded the psychotic episode, supporting the diagnosis of schizoid personality disorder. Inpatient management consisted of risperidone, sertraline, and low-intensity supportive psychosocial interventions adapted to the patient’s preference for limited interpersonal engagement. During approximately 14 days of hospitalization, hallucinations and suicidal ideation decreased and basic self-care improved. At two-week follow-up, no recurrent suicidal ideation was reported, although mild auditory hallucinations and social withdrawal persisted. This case emphasizes the importance of longitudinal assessment and collateral information in distinguishing enduring personality characteristics from state-related negative or depressive symptoms. Individualized treatment that combines pharmacological stabilization with appropriately paced psychosocial engagement may improve treatment acceptability and functional stabilization in complex psychiatric comorbidity.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine empathy and sense of community as simultaneous and partial predictors of self-esteem among high school adolescents in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional correlational survey design was employed. The sample consisted of 428 adolescents aged 15-19 years, selected through multistage cluster random sampling. Data were collected using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Basic Empathy Scale (BES), and the Brief Sense of Community Scale (BSCS), all of which were adapted into Indonesian, and were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The regression model was statistically significant, F=47.187, p<0.001, with R2 = 0.182, indicating that empathy and sense of community jointly accounted for 18.2% pf the variance in self-esteem. At the partial level, empathy was not a statistically significant predictor of self-esteem (B= -0.029, β = -0.53, t = -1.179, p = 0.239), whereas sense of community emerged as a statistically significant predictor (B= 0.402, β = 0.432, t = 9.701, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that although empathy and sense of community jointly predicted self-esteem, only sense of community made a significant unique contribution. This suggests that supportive school environment that foster student’s sense of community participation may pay an important role in promoting adolescent self-esteem.
