Abstract

This research investigates the behavior of baby blues syndrome in postpartum mothers within Muara District, North Tapanuli Regency, Indonesia. Baby blues syndrome, characterized by transient emotional distress following childbirth, is a common yet often overlooked phenomenon impacting maternal mental health. Through a mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, this study explores the prevalence, risk factors, symptom profiles, coping mechanisms, and socio-cultural influences associated with baby blues syndrome in Muara District. Socio-economic disparities, lack of social support, marital discord, and cultural beliefs surrounding motherhood emerge as significant risk factors influencing the occurrence and severity of baby blues syndrome symptoms. Common symptoms include mood swings, irritability, tearfulness, anxiety, and feelings of sadness or emptiness, often exacerbated by fatigue and hormonal changes. Postpartum mothers employ various coping mechanisms, including seeking social support from family and community networks, engaging in traditional healing practices, and participating in religious or spiritual activities. Implications of the findings extend to clinical practice, public health policy, and future research endeavors. Healthcare providers are encouraged to adopt culturally sensitive approaches to screening, assessment, and intervention, ensuring the accessibility and acceptability of maternal mental health services.

Abstract

This research explores the influence of authoritarian parenting patterns on the psychology of adolescents in Batam City, Indonesia. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study investigates the prevalence and characteristics of authoritarian parenting, its impact on adolescent mental health, behavior, and cognitive development, and the implications for promoting positive adolescent outcomes. Quantitative data were collected through parental questionnaires and adolescent surveys, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and parent-adolescent dyadic interviews. Descriptive statistics, thematic analyses, and qualitative excerpts were used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that authoritarian parenting is prevalent in Batam City, with significant effects on adolescent mental health and behavior. Adolescents raised in authoritarian households reported higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress, as well as increased externalizing behaviors compared to their peers. While authoritarian parenting did not directly impact cognitive development, qualitative insights suggest indirect effects on autonomy and self-regulation. The practical implications of the study underscore the importance of promoting positive parenting practices, supporting adolescent well-being, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders to create nurturing environments that promote healthy adolescent development in Batam City and beyond.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to the global workforce, exacerbating existing workplace stressors and uncertainties. This study investigates the interrelationships between burnout, job insecurity, and turnover intention among employees during the pandemic, employing a mixed-method approach to gather comprehensive insights. A sample of 300 participants from diverse industries completed quantitative surveys measuring burnout, job insecurity, and turnover intention, while a subset of 30 participants participated in qualitative interviews to provide deeper contextual understanding. The findings reveal significant associations between burnout, job insecurity, and turnover intention, with heightened levels of burnout and job insecurity contributing to increased turnover intention among employees. The quantitative analyses demonstrate strong positive correlations between burnout, job insecurity, and turnover intention, highlighting the detrimental impact of workplace stressors on employee retention. Moreover, qualitative insights underscore the role of perceived threats to job stability and organizational support in shaping turnover intentions amidst the uncertainties of the pandemic. Theoretical frameworks such as the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model and Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory provide valuable lenses for interpreting these findings, emphasizing the importance of considering both job-related demands and resources in mitigating burnout and job insecurity. Organizational leaders must prioritize employee well-being and implement targeted interventions channels.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between consumer behavior and self-esteem among junior high school adolescents in Surabaya, aiming to elucidate the dynamics shaping adolescent development and inform intervention strategies. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews were conducted with a sample of adolescents. The findings reveal significant associations between certain consumer behaviors and self-esteem levels, emphasizing the impact of peer influence and media exposure on adolescents' consumption patterns and self-perceptions. The study underscores the importance of promoting media literacy, critical thinking, and resilience to peer influence in interventions aimed at fostering healthy consumer behavior and positive self-esteem among adolescents. Despite limitations, including the cross-sectional design and sample homogeneity, the study provides valuable insights for educators, parents, and policymakers involved in adolescent development and intervention programs. Further research employing longitudinal designs and diverse samples is recommended to enhance our understanding of these constructs and their implications for adolescent well-being.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of music therapy in reducing depressive symptoms among young adult patients. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) design was employed, with participants aged 18 to 25 randomly assigned to either a music therapy intervention group or a control group receiving standard care. Depressive symptoms were assessed using standardized measures such as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) or the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up assessments. Results revealed significant reductions in depressive symptom severity in the music therapy group compared to the control group, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large. Subgroup analyses indicated consistent treatment effects across demographic and clinical subgroups, suggesting the robustness and generalizability of the intervention. Findings underscore the therapeutic potential of music therapy in addressing depression among young adults and highlight the importance of integrating music therapy into comprehensive mental health care approaches.

Abstract

This study examines anxiety levels and their relationship with partner dynamics in women of childbearing age and menopausal women. A comparative analysis was conducted utilizing standardized measures to assess anxiety levels, communication patterns, supportive behaviors, intimacy, and conflict resolution within intimate partnerships. The sample comprised 500 women of childbearing age and 500 menopausal women recruited from community-based settings. Results indicate that while women of childbearing age reported higher overall levels of anxiety, menopausal women exhibited greater variability in anxiety levels across different menopausal stages. Furthermore, significant differences were observed in communication patterns, perceived support from partners, intimacy, and conflict resolution between the two groups. Women of childbearing age reported more positive relationship dynamics characterized by open communication, perceived support, and greater intimacy, while menopausal women reported lower levels of perceived support and difficulties in communication and conflict resolution. These findings highlight the unique challenges and stressors faced by women at different reproductive life stages and underscore the importance of tailoring interventions to address the specific needs of women during reproductive transitions.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of self-esteem and self-compassion on adult life satisfaction, employing a longitudinal design to elucidate the dynamic interplay between these constructs over time. A diverse sample of adults participated in the study, completing measures of self-esteem, self-compassion, and life satisfaction at multiple time points. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses revealed significant positive associations between self-esteem, self-compassion, and life satisfaction, with individuals reporting higher levels of self-esteem and self-compassion experiencing greater life satisfaction over time. Moreover, interaction effects between self-esteem and self-compassion were observed, suggesting that individuals who possess both high self-esteem and high self-compassion tend to experience the highest levels of life satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of fostering positive self-regard and self-compassionate attitudes in adulthood and highlight avenues for promoting greater overall well-being and resilience through targeted interventions and public health initiatives.

Abstract

The prevalence of broken homes, characterized by parental separation, divorce, or single-parent households, poses significant challenges to adolescents' development and academic outcomes. This research explores the intricate relationship. Through a mixed-methods approach encompassing quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, the study examines the mechanisms through which family disruptions influence academic functioning among adolescents. Quantitative analyses reveal significant associations between broken home conditions and lower levels of attentional control, task persistence, and academic engagement among adolescents. These findings persist even after controlling for demographic variables such as socioeconomic status and parental involvement, underscoring the independent contribution of family disruptions to academic outcomes. Qualitative insights provide rich contextual understanding of the lived experiences of adolescents in broken homes, highlighting the emotional turmoil, insecurity, and challenges they face in navigating academic demands amidst familial upheaval. The implications of these findings are far-reaching, with significant implications for educational practice, policy, and intervention efforts. By recognizing the unique needs of adolescents from broken homes and developing evidence-based strategies to support their holistic development and academic success, educators, policymakers, and stakeholders can create nurturing and inclusive environments where all adolescents have the opportunity to thrive.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between hate comments on social media and users' self-confidence, providing a comprehensive analysis grounded in Social Comparison Theory and cyberbullying research. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study surveys a diverse sample of social media users and conducts in-depth interviews to explore the extent and impact of exposure to hate comments. The findings reveal a significant negative correlation between the frequency of hate comments and self-confidence levels, with younger users and women being particularly vulnerable. The study also identifies the moderating role of social support, where strong support networks help mitigate the negative effects of hate comments. Potential limitations include sample size constraints, self-report biases, and challenges in generalizability. The implications of the findings are far-reaching, suggesting the need for individual strategies to manage social media use, therapeutic interventions by mental health professionals, and enhanced anti-harassment measures by social media platforms. By addressing these issues, we can foster a healthier digital environment that supports users' mental health and well-being.

Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between personality traits and coping strategies among parents of intellectually disabled children, aiming to inform the development of more effective support interventions. A sample of 200 parents participated in an online survey, providing demographic information and completing measures of personality traits and coping strategies. Results indicate significant correlations between personality traits (extraversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism, agreeableness, and openness) and coping strategies, with extraversion and conscientiousness positively associated with problem-focused coping and neuroticism positively associated with emotion-focused coping and avoidance strategies. Multiple regression analysis further highlights the predictive power of personality traits on coping strategies, controlling for demographic variables. Implications for practice include the importance of personalized support interventions, recognition of the role of social support networks, and enhancement of accessibility and integration of mental health services.
