Abstract

TikTok has become a central arena in which Generation Z users construct and negotiate digital identity, yet research on how its affordances relate to this process remains fragmented across platform-feature, algorithmic, and self-presentation perspectives. This article presents a systematic literature review that examines how TikTok affordances have been conceptualized, how existing studies explain their role in Generation Z digital identity construction, and what theoretical, methodological, and empirical gaps remain. Following PRISMA 2020 guidance, 37 peer-reviewed studies published between 2021 and 2026 were retrieved from Scopus and a supplementary Google Scholar search, appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool, and analyzed through thematic synthesis, yielding five descriptive and three analytical themes. The review finds that algorithmic affordances (recommendation, personalization, and visibility) dominate the literature, while social affordances remain comparatively under-examined. It identifies three mechanisms linking affordances to identity: algorithmic recognition, the negotiation of visibility and platform power, and community-based affirmation and cultural meaning-making. On this basis, the review reconceptualizes TikTok as an identity infrastructure rather than merely a platform for self-presentation. This reconceptualization is offered as a conceptual proposition rather than a demonstrated effect. Because 33 of the 37 studies rely primarily on qualitative and self-reported accounts of user experience, and relatively few directly examine recommendation systems or their effects over time, the evidence is better suited to explaining how users perceive and interpret algorithmic influence than how recommendation systems objectively shape identity. The literature is also concentrated on marginalized communities. Advancing the field, therefore, requires observational, computational, and longitudinal research extending beyond the populations studied to date.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines how Muslim women's religious self-representation is conceptualized across social media studies. Employing the SPIDER framework and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, the study synthesized 35 Scopus-indexed peer-reviewed articles published between 2016 and June 2026. Data were analyzed through thematic synthesis and structured coding covering visual religious identity (VRI), self-presentation, platform context, and theoretical framing. The analysis identified five thematic clusters: (1) hijab, modest fashion, and visual aesthetics; (2) religious identity negotiation and digital self-presentation; (3) influencers, branding, activism, and self-representation; (4) platform and community studies; and (5) contextual and cross-platform studies. Findings demonstrate that Muslim women's visual religious identity is not a fixed expression of religiosity, but a contextual representational practice negotiated through visual signs, platform affordances, audience expectations, and moral evaluation. Although self-presentation appeared in 32 of 35 studies, VRI was explicitly central in only 17 studies, revealing a significant conceptual gap. The review further identifies an underexplored area concerning dual-account practices and post-pesantren Muslim women's digital identity. These findings extend Hall's theory of representation into platformed digital religion contexts and suggest directions for future empirical research.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the transformation of healthcare communication by shifting interactions between healthcare providers and patients from face-to-face encounters to digitally mediated communication. Digital communication platforms, including telemedicine, remote patient monitoring (RPM), virtual wards, mobile health applications, and messaging services, became essential channels for exchanging health information, monitoring patient conditions, providing consultation, and supporting continuity of care. This narrative review aimed to synthesize the existing evidence on digital health communication between healthcare providers and patients during COVID-19, with a particular focus on communication channels, information exchange, patient engagement, communication quality, and communication barriers. A purposive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Embase, and other relevant sources. Twenty-six studies were included and analyzed using a narrative thematic approach. The findings indicate that digital health communication enhanced timely information exchange, facilitated continuous interaction between healthcare providers and patients, improved patient engagement in self-management, and strengthened communication throughout home-based care. The review also identified several communication challenges, including disparities in digital literacy, unequal access to communication technologies, privacy concerns, reduced interpersonal interaction, and variations in communication practices across healthcare settings. Overall, digital health communication has become a fundamental component of interdisciplinary healthcare communication by supporting accessible, patient-centered, and continuous communication during public health emergencies. Future implementation should strengthen communication quality, promote digital inclusion, and develop communication strategies that foster effective patient–provider interaction beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

This study examines oral literature as a form of cultural communication that underlies literary tourism in Singkawang City, framing the inquiry within the field of interdisciplinary communication science. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were gathered through observation and interviews with storytellers, destination managers, and local government officials, supplemented by recording, transcription, and editing techniques. The findings reveal six folktales: Batu Belimbing, Gunung Poteng, Sibohe Waterfall, Bagak Sahwa Village, Tjhia Family House, and Batu Burung Beach, all classified as legends that function as narrative communication foundations for their respective tourist sites. Analysis of the communication context surrounding these narratives shows that intergenerational oral transmission is declining, with storytellers aged 29 to 73, and that the communicative occasions for these stories are shifting from family-based communication to more institutionalized forms such as theatrical performances or tourist-oriented communication encounters. The messages embedded in these oral narratives convey ecological, moral, and cultural values that function as communicative guidance for tourism management. Infrastructural assessment of the six destinations reveals significant disparities in how effectively each site communicates its narrative heritage to visitors: Batu Belimbing and Tjhia Family House are comparatively well-managed, while Gunung Poteng and Sibohe Waterfall remain critically underdeveloped. The study argues that positioning oral literature as a communication strategy within literary tourism offers a culturally grounded and sustainable path for heritage communication and tourism development in multiethnic border cities, contributing to interdisciplinary dialogue between communication science and cultural tourism studies.

Abstract

This study examines DeVito's Interpersonal Communication Model as an interdisciplinary theoretical framework capable of bridging communication studies, educational science, and digital learning discourse. Grounded in the premise that interpersonal communication is the primary determinant of relational quality in technology-mediated environments, this study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of national and international journal articles published between 2013 and 2023, sourced from Google Scholar, Scopus, and ERIC. The review maps how DeVito's five core communication dimensions, openness, empathy, supportiveness, positiveness, and equality, are operationalized across disciplinary boundaries, from educational communication and instructional design to digital sociology and health communication. Findings reveal that while these dimensions consistently appear across the reviewed literature as central factors shaping communicative climate, social presence, and relational engagement in virtual classrooms, they are rarely integrated under a unified communication framework. Scholars from different disciplines address the same relational phenomena through divergent vocabularies, social presence, instructor immediacy, and dialogic feedback, without recognizing their shared theoretical foundation in interpersonal communication theory. This study addresses that fragmentation by proposing a conceptual model that repositions virtual learning as a relational communication process, mediated but not determined by technology. The model demonstrates the interdisciplinary reach of DeVito's framework and contributes to the development of an integrated communication paradigm for digital learning environments.

Abstract

This study examines visual communication strategies on the Instagram accounts of two Islamic Early Childhood Education (ECE) institutions in Bandung, TK Islam Taman Firdaus and Rumah Bintang Islamic Preschool, in building public image and trust in the digital era. A descriptive qualitative approach is employed, supported by quantitative data collected through content observation, interviews with media managers, and questionnaires administered to 20 parents of prospective students. The analysis draws on Roland Barthes’ visual semiotics and digital marketing communication theory to interpret symbolic meanings and assess visual effectiveness. The results show two equally effective visual communication patterns with different orientations. These differences are influenced by communication strategies, particularly a multichannel approach that emphasizes professionalism and visual consistency through structured layouts, sans-serif typography, and color compositions such as yellow, orange, blue, and white. The mean perception score was 3.66, while the highest scores were regarding visual appeal (43) and message clarity (42). Rumah Bintang Islamic Preschool, on the other hand, emphasizes emotional intimacy and spiritual values through blue-orange tones and narrative-based visuals, achieving a mean score of 3.9. The highest scores were found in visual consistency (43) and the representation of Islamic values (45). Both approaches show that the effectiveness of visual communication does not rely on a particular visual style, but rather on the consistency between visual elements and narrative messages to their audience's expectations and institutional values. When aligned with institutional goals and audience engagement, different visual strategies can achieve similar levels of effectiveness. Practically, this study offers guidance for Islamic ECE institutions in designing digital visual communication strategies by ensuring coherence between visual consistency, narrative content, and platform usage in line with their communication objectives.

Abstract

Handling and prevention of incest cases in Bengkulu Province to date. This is still done in a partial and limited way, based on limited data, so that interventions provided have not yet addressed the root problem comprehensively. The absence of complete profiles of victims and perpetrators causes service mentoring to be sectoral in nature, for example, only focusing on economic aspects, without considering the psychosocial and communication factors in the family. Research This aim is to describe the incest victim profile in a demographic way, as well as analyze the behavior, communication, and patterns of victim communication, both intrapersonal, interpersonal, and family communication, as a basis for better prevention and recovery strategies. Research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, discussion groups, focused group discussions (FGD), and study documentation. The informant was determined by purposive sampling. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and withdrawal conclusion. Research results show that all victims of incest are women of various sexes, ranging in age from 6 to 15 years, originating from families that were pre-prosperous and experiencing family disintegration. Perpetrator is a member of the nuclear family and relatives close to the age of 26–54 years. Victims face social stigma, bullying, and discrimination post-event. Psychologically, the victim experiences deep trauma, anxiety, withdrawal, self-Concept, and negative Concept. From the aspect of communication, found disturbance in intrapersonal communication, barriers in interpersonal communication, as well as patterns of communication in closed and dysfunctional families. Findings. This confirms that incest is a complex phenomenon that requires an intervention-based approach to victim profiles and improved patterns of communication within families in a holistic way.

Abstract

Public policy implementation in geographically fragmented and institutionally uneven regions depends not only on regulatory design and infrastructure provision, but also on effective institutional communication. In East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), an archipelagic province characterized by high poverty rates and strong dependence on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), local economic development policies face structural challenges related to distribution barriers, multi-actor coordination, and digital inequality. Within this context, communication becomes central to aligning stakeholders and integrating policy objectives. Although Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) is widely discussed in corporate marketing literature, its application in public policy implementation remains underexplored. This study analyzes the implementation, strategic role, and challenges of IMC in supporting the One Village One Product (OVOP) policy through the NTT Mart initiative. Using a qualitative case study approach based on institutional documents and digital communication analysis, the research examines how IMC operates within a peripheral governance setting. The findings show that IMC functions not merely as a promotional tool, but as a governance infrastructure that integrates multi-channel communication, stakeholder coordination, and policy narratives. However, its effectiveness is constrained by geographical fragmentation, digital divides, uneven institutional capacity, and limited operational transparency. The study contributes to communicative governance theory by positioning IMC as a structural determinant of policy implementation in developing, archipelagic governance contexts.
