Abstract

Interpersonal communication in non-clinical mental health rehabilitation is largely shaped by non-professional caregivers, yet existing therapeutic communication models emphasize clinical expertise and structured protocols. This study explores how experience-based relational practices emerge among Pramujiwa non-professional caregivers at Satpel Bina Laras Sakurjaya, Indonesia, through daily interactions with clients with mental disorders (ODGJ). Employing an intrinsic single-case qualitative design grounded in interpretivist and experiential learning perspectives, data were collected via unstructured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis with 10 key Pramujiwa informants, supporting staff, and an expert informant. Inductive thematic analysis identified four recurring interaction patterns: Initial Familiarization, Trust Negotiation, Daily Engagement, and Informal Continuity, which were synthesized into a three-phase conceptual model: Affectional, Adaptive, and Relationship Consolidation phases. Findings indicate that relational effectiveness is maintained through emotional attunement, situational adaptation, and continuity across everyday activities rather than formal clinical procedures. The Pramujiwa Interpersonal Relationship Model demonstrates that meaningful therapeutic-like communication can develop from sustained, context-sensitive experiential practice. The study highlights the significance of non-professional, experience-based caregiving for psychosocial stabilization and relational continuity in resource-limited rehabilitation contexts, offering theoretical and practical insights for enhancing interpersonal communication frameworks in non-clinical mental health care.

Abstract

Advances in digital technology have reshaped mediated communication patterns between brands and audiences, particularly through the convergence of e-commerce platforms like Shopee and video-based social media platforms like TikTok, which now serve as interactive communication ecosystems where persuasive narratives and social meanings are negotiated. This study aims to map the development of scientific research on communication patterns and user behavior on both platforms between 2021 and 2025 using a bibliometric approach. Through analysis of Scopus data filtered with PRISMA flowcharts and visualized using RStudio (Biblioshiny) and VOSviewer, a significant surge in publications was found, from 42 articles in 2021 to 188 articles in 2024. The dominance of keywords such as social media engagement, digital persuasion, and audience behavior indicates that communicative processes are central to shaping user responses. Conceptual mapping reveals that this study increasingly intersects with new communication technologies such as artificial intelligence and algorithms, signaling a shift towards data-driven, personalized communication strategies. From a communication science perspective, this study asserts that Shopee and TikTok operate as mediated spaces that redefine the construction of trust, identity, and digital rhetoric in the contemporary media ecosystem.

Abstract

This study employs a qualitative bibliometric approach to map research on digital technology adoption for sustainable development. Data were drawn from Scopus-indexed publications published between 2015 and 2025. The PRISMA flowchart was used to document the screening process, while VOSviewer and RStudio–Biblioshiny supported the analysis of publication trends, thematic structures, and research evolution. The findings show that scholarly output in this field was limited before 2020 but increased sharply thereafter, reflecting growing interest in sustainability-oriented digital transformation. Frequently occurring keywords such as sustainable development, digital transformation, sustainability, and digital technologies indicate a strong integration of policy and governance perspectives. Thematic analyses further reveal increasing attention to behavioural and institutional factors, with technology acceptance frameworks, particularly the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), emerging as an important but still underexplored research stream. Based on these mapped patterns, the study outlines a conceptually informed extension of UTAUT to highlight key sustainability-related adoption drivers identified in the literature. The framework is presented as an agenda-setting outcome of the bibliometric synthesis, intended to support future empirical research rather than to offer a validated theoretical model.

Abstract

This study to look how political communicators actually help raise voter turnout in the 2024 Pekanbaru regional election. Even tho direct elections already running for long time and info access is quite ok, the turnout still stuck low at 45.87%. Using qualitative approach inside a constructivist view, this research explore the roles of mayor candidates, political parties, the Election Commission KPU, and also voters in the whole communication process. The findings show that candidate pairs shape their messages and personal branding based on what they think community need, then share it through media they feel is more effective. Political parties give support by pushing the candidate image through community programs. KPU do outreach and voter education that try to suit voter characteristics. Voter turnout is influenced by various factors, including candidate personality, competence, vision and mission, program proposals, party support, past credibility, money politics, and the accessibility of polling stations. In general, turnout increases when political messages are delivered through appropriate media and supported by effective outreach from the Election Commission (KPU). These findings become a base for making better political communication strategy so public participation in regional elections can increase.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine how communication scholarship conceptualizes digital misogyny as a communication practice within the context of social media. The study responds to the growing academic attention to gender-based hostility in digital environments, which remains conceptually fragmented across existing research. To address this gap, it adopts a systematic conceptual mapping approach to clarify the distinctive contribution of communication studies to the understanding of digital misogyny. This research employs a qualitative meta-synthesis method within an interpretive paradigm, analyzing 155 peer-reviewed international journal articles in the field of communication studies published between 2020 and 2025. An inductive thematic synthesis is used to identify dominant conceptual patterns, variations in misogynistic communication practices, and the ways in which social media is positioned as a digital public space. The findings reveal a consistent conceptual shift from viewing misogyny primarily as an individual attitude toward understanding it as a discursive, cultural, and structurally mediated communication practice. Five core conceptual patterns are identified: misogyny as individual hatred, discursive practice, digital cultural expression, a phenomenon shaped by platform structures, and a mechanism of social control. The results further indicate that digital misogyny operates through both overt and covert practices, with subtle forms such as humor and memes playing a significant role in the normalization of gender inequality. Overall, this study advances a more integrated conceptual framework for understanding digital misogyny as a symbolic, mediated, and structurally embedded phenomenon within the digital public sphere.

Abstract

Public discourse often dismisses "sadfishing" as manipulative attention-seeking, risking the delegitimization of genuine psychological distress. This issue is compounded by TikTok’s algorithmic recommendation system, which privileges high-intensity emotional content, transforming private distress into public viral narratives regardless of creator intent. This study aims to explore how individuals with bipolar disorder experience and interpret their emotional disclosures within the #bipolar hashtag community on TikTok. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two key TikTok content creators and supplemented by non-participant digital observation of three supporting informants. The analysis followed the Miles and Huberman framework, comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing to ensure analytical rigor. Results indicate that creators utilize the #bipolar hashtag to contextualize emotional states within a clinical identity framework, viewing their posts as legitimate coping mechanisms or cries for help. However, the findings reveal a significant tension caused by algorithmic visibility; emotionally vulnerable content is often amplified to unintended audiences, leading to fragmented responses. While survivors of similar conditions offer empathy and validation, others dismiss these disclosures as "sadfishing," utilizing the term as an external label to delegitimize genuine psychological distress. This study concludes that sadfishing is not a singular behavioral motive, but an interpretively constructed phenomenon mediated by platform affordances, norms, and mental health literacy. Digital vulnerability is a relational process where audience interpretation and platform infrastructures collectively define the perceived authenticity of disclosed emotions.

Abstract

Agrarian conflicts in the Dago Elos area, Bandung, not only take place in the realm of formal law and politics, but are also mediated through visual practices in residential spaces. This study aims to analyze how resistance murals function as a form of collective visual communication in responding to threats to citizens' living spaces. This research is expected to enrich the study of visual communication and urban resistance, especially in the context of urban agrarian conflict. The method used is a qualitative approach with visual discourse analysis, Gillian Rose, which includes the site of production, the site of the image, and the site of audiencing. The Data was obtained through focus group discussions with residents and artists, visual documentation, and analysis of four murals in the Dago Elos area. The results showed that murals are produced spontaneously, based on solidarity networks, and do not depend on formal structures. Visually, murals utilize a variety of communication strategies to claim living space and build a narrative of resistance. Murals also play a role in transforming everyday spaces into political arenas that are collectively accepted by citizens. This study concluded that murals do not merely represent agrarian conflicts, but become a medium for politicizing space and strengthening the collective identity of citizens.

Abstract

Interactions between drivers and customers in online transportation services are often brief and without verbal communication. In these brief interactions, nonverbal communication becomes a crucial element in influencing customer experience (Avi, 2023). This study aims to examine how customers interpret the experience of encountering nonverbal communication forms conveyed by drivers, such as facial expressions, body gestures, tone of voice, and posture. Using a qualitative approach and the phenomenological study method of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), data will be collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 active user informants in the Greater Jakarta area who were recruited purposively. The results show that nonverbal elements are interpreted ambivalently and situationally. This study presents a critical dialogue on the simplistic Albert Mehrabian 7-38-55 rule by presenting the results of non-deterministic emotional interpretations.

Abstract

While government authority has a vital role in tourism management and destination marketing, social media serves as an essential tool in tourism communication and promotion. The shifts in consumer digital behavior, especially in the aftermath of the pandemic, created potential and challenges for government authorities to embrace social media in driving tourism recovery. This study explores the social media usage pattern of local government in post-pandemic tourism recovery, focusing on the Klungkung Regional Tourism Authority. Using content analysis methodology, social media posts were studied from official social media accounts of the authority (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok) from January to April 2023. The result indicated that while the authority maintains its online presence on multiple platforms, engagement strategies remain suboptimal, marked by irregular posting patterns, low interactivity, and inconsistent hashtag usage. This study also revealed a significant gap in platform popularity and actual usage effectiveness. This study contributes to social media in tourism promotion literature, and the practical implications are discussed.
