Abstract

The global COVID 19 crisis catalyzed a surge in online prosocial behaviors among youth, particularly in collectivist cultures such as Indonesia. This study investigates the motivational and psychosocial determinants that drive Indonesian youths to engage in public versus anonymous digital altruism. Drawing on survey data from 500 respondents aged 15–25, we employed structural equation modeling to examine how eudaimonic, extrinsic, and hedonic motivations influence online prosocial behavior, with empathy and trust in social platforms as mediating factors. Using validated psychological scales, our cross sectional analysis reveals that eudaimonic motivation significantly predicts anonymous prosocial actions, while extrinsic motivation is a primary driver of public acts. Hedonic motivation was found to be a weak and inconsistent predictor. Empathy and trust play critical mediating roles, facilitating the translation of motivation into behavioral outcomes. The findings suggest that public behavior is often shaped by reputational goals, whereas anonymous actions are rooted in intrinsic meaning making and emotional resonance. Our results support the implementation of culturally tailored digital interventions, such as gamification and peer mentoring systems, which promote eudaimonic engagement while addressing trust and empathy building in virtual environments. Methodological considerations include the limitations of self report bias and the need for mixed method validation. Future research should examine platform specific influences and cross cultural comparisons to deepen the theoretical understanding of youth digital altruism. These insights contribute to a more nuanced understanding of digital prosociality and offer strategic guidance for educators, policymakers, and digital platform designers aiming to foster meaningful online civic participation.

Abstract

This article explores the transformative potential of disability arts in Indonesia by analyzing how inclusive artistic practices challenge dominant media narratives that depict disability through pity, inspiration, or deficit. Employing a comparative qualitative approach, the study integrates discourse analysis of artworks by the Deaf Art Community and Kinanty Andini with media content review and focus group discussions before and after art exposure. The analysis reveals that disability arts foster narrative agency, shifting audience perceptions from stereotypical views to recognition of disabled individuals as empowered and creative agents. Inclusive artworks deploy symbolism, cultural authenticity, and emotional storytelling, enabling participants to engage with disability not as deficiency but as lived, multifaceted identity. Qualitative and quantitative shifts in sentiment evidenced by changes in audience descriptors and thematic coding highlight the potential of art-based interventions to reduce stigma. However, the study also notes limitations, including misinterpretation, co-optation, and inequities in access and representation. Cultural contexts significantly shape the reception of disability narratives, while digital platforms simultaneously democratize and constrain visibility. The study concludes that disability art, while not a panacea, is a critical catalyst for narrative transformation and cultural inclusion. Continued collaboration among artists, scholars, and institutions is necessary to ensure lasting impact and representation.

Abstract

Insomnia is increasingly recognized as a systemic disorder involving persistent hyperarousal with broad psychiatric and cardiovascular consequences. This case report describes a 49-year-old woman who developed functional dyspepsia after taking an analgesic, which led to chronic insomnia and, subsequently, essential hypertension (blood pressure reaching 173/93 mmHg) accompanied by generalized somatic distress. Her sleep pattern became non-restorative, with reduced sleep drive and dependence on hypnotics. Psychiatric evaluation revealed Nonorganic Insomnia, a Moderate Depressive Episode, and Somatization Disorder, with an Insomnia Severity Index score of 16. Her clinical course illustrates a psychophysiological cascade. Gastrointestinal distress disrupted sleep architecture, sustained sympathetic nervous system activation, and dysregulated the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, thereby contributing to hypertension and somatic amplification. This case highlights the need to view insomnia as a systemic condition rather than an isolated symptom. Early recognition and non-pharmacological interventions—particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—may prevent long-term cardiovascular and psychiatric complications.

Abstract

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has traditionally been viewed as a psychiatric condition; however, emerging evidence from psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) demonstrates that PTSD involves systemic physiological dysregulation extending across neural, endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune domains. This systematic review synthesizes recent findings from studies published between 2004 and 2025 to conceptualize PTSD as a psychoneuroimmunological cascade. Literature retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science was analyzed thematically to identify converging mechanisms of neuroendocrine, immune, and metabolic alterations associated with PTSD. The review reveals consistent patterns of  hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction, autonomic overactivation, chronic inflammation, gut–microbiota imbalance, and endocrine–immune cross-talk. These interconnected processes form self-perpetuating feedback loops that translate psychological trauma into systemic disease. PTSD should therefore be reframed as a multisystem disorder sustained by psychoneuroimmunological dysregulation rather than as a purely psychological condition. Integrative, multidisciplinary interventions—combining pharmacotherapy, mind–body therapies, and lifestyle modulation—are essential to restore systemic homeostasis and improve long-term outcomes. This reconceptualization expands theoretical understanding of PTSD, bridges psychiatry with internal medicine, and informs trauma-informed clinical and policy practices.

Abstract

Hebephrenic schizophrenia, or disorganized-type schizophrenia, represents one of the most disabling and treatment-resistant subtypes of psychotic disorders, marked by disorganized thinking, affect, and behavior. These symptoms often persist despite standard pharmacological treatment and are associated with poor cognitive and social functioning. This case report explores the effectiveness of an integrated multimodal therapeutic approach that combines pharmacological, cognitive-behavioral, and metabolic strategies in managing a young woman with chronic hebephrenic schizophrenia. The patient, a 23-year-old female with a six-year illness duration and history of medication nonadherence, was treated with aripiprazole 15 mg/day (dopamine D2 partial agonist), trifluoperazine 5 mg/day (full D2 antagonist), folic acid 1 mg/day, and vitamin B6 100 mg/day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and family psychoeducation were conducted twice weekly for three weeks. After treatment, she demonstrated measurable improvement, including a 1-point reduction in conceptual disorganization and a 2-point improvement in blunted affect (PANSS-R), alongside qualitative gains in coping with auditory hallucinations and affective responsiveness. These results suggest that synergistic modulation of dopaminergic circuits, cognitive restructuring, and metabolic support may yield short-term benefits for patients with treatment-resistant disorganization symptoms. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to evaluate long-term outcomes and neurobiological mechanisms.

Abstract

Depression is a psychological condition characterized by persistent sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest that affects emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning. Spirituality is believed to play a significant role in reducing depressive symptoms by fostering inner harmony, emotional resilience, and a sense of meaning in life. This case report explores the relationship between spirituality and depression in a 44-year-old woman diagnosed with major depressive disorder with psychotic features. The patient continues to experience negative emotions such as pessimism, lack of self-confidence, continuous crying, and feelings of inferiority that began after being dismissed from her job, a traumatic event that deeply affected her psychological state. She also experienced a decline in spiritual beliefs and practices, which was attributed to her father’s overly strict and inconsistent religious upbringing. This case highlights the close relationship between spirituality and mental health, demonstrating that spiritual well-being can serve as a protective factor against depression by enhancing emotional stability, personal resilience, and positive psychological adjustment. The integration of spiritual care into mental health interventions is therefore essential, as it may improve recovery outcomes and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals experiencing depression.

Abstract

This study tests a predictive model in which quarter life crisis and self confidence are posited as key factors influencing self disclosure among Indonesian university students in early adulthood. Based on psychosocial development and communication privacy management theories, we hypothesized that a higher quarter life crisis would predict lower self disclosure, while greater self confidence would predict higher self disclosure. Using random sampling, 45 final year students or recent graduates from a large public university were surveyed online. Multiple regression analysis produced the following unstandardized model: Self Disclosure = 30.836 +0.209 (Quarter Life Crisis) + 0.325 (Self Confidence). The overall model was not statistically significant, F (2, 41) = 1.250, P = 0.231, with a low R² of 0.069, explaining only 6.9% of the variance in self disclosure. The weak positive correlation between self disclosure and self confidence (r = .15) and moderate negative correlation between quarter life crisis and self confidence (r = -.45) did not translate into a statistically supported predictive model. Given the non significant result, the limited explanatory power, a small sample size (N = 45), and the moderate reliability of the self confidence measure, the hypothesized model is not supported. This suggests other variables are more influential and future research with larger samples and robust measures is needed to better understand the determinants of self disclosure in this population. Any practical implications for fostering self disclosure as a support strategy therefore remain speculative.

Abstract

In today’s competitive labor market, universities must prepare students to meet evolving workplace demands. Work readiness is a multidimensional construct involving personal characteristics, organisational acumen, work competencies, and social intelligence, which differ among individuals. This study aims to describe the level of work readiness of students at the Faculty of Psychology, UNIBI. This study used quantitative and descriptive approaches. Data were collected in May 2025 through an online questionnaire distributed to all students of the Faculty of Psychology from the Class of 2021-2024, ensuring equal opportunity to participate. The study subjects were 115 students from the class of 2021-2024, selected using stratified random sampling. The instrument used was the Work Readiness Scale (WRS) by Caballero, which has been adapted into Indonesian by Rahmawati (2021). The instrument’s validity was examined using corrected item–total correlation. Reliability analysis with Cronbach’s Alpha yielded 0.924, indicating high internal consistency. Data were analyzed descriptively. Score categories (very low to very high) were determined using predefined cut-off score intervals based on the total score range. The results showed that students' work readiness was in the moderate category (41,7%). Organisational acumen is dimension with the highest score, while the social intelligence dimension is the lowest. These findings indicate that students have adequate job readiness, particularly in their understanding and attitudes toward organizations, but still need strengthening in social and interpersonal skills. Therefore, curriculum development should emphasize practical learning experiences to enhance students’ applied competencies and interpersonal readiness for the workplace.

Abstract

Hospital management requires professionals from various disciplines who are able to collaborate in providing quality, effective, efficient, and responsive healthcare services according to patient needs. Medical and health personnel are key elements in determining the success of these services. Their optimal contribution will be achieved if they have high employee engagement. One factor related to employee engagement is Perceived Organizational Support (POS). This study aims to analyze the relationship between POS and Employee Engagement among medical and health personnel at Bandung City Regional General Hospital. The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Of the 260 questionnaires collected, 236 responses were declared valid and analyzed after a data screening process. Data collection used the POS Scale and Employee Engagement, which have been tested for reliability. The results of a simple linear regression analysis showed that POS had a positive and significant relationship with Employee Engagement (β = 0.749, t(234) = 15.09, p < 0.001). The overall regression model was significant, F(1,234) = 227.79, p < 0.001, with a Adjusted R² = 0.559, indicating that 55.9% of the variance in Employee engagement can be explained by POS. This finding indicates that POS is an important predictor of work engagement in the context of a public hospital with high workloads and limited resources. Practically, hospital management needs to prioritize fair policies, transparency of the system provided, and strengthening supervisor support to improve the perception, support, and engagement of medical and health personnel.
