Abstract

Depression is a common mental disorder today. It is estimated that 280 million people are affected by depression globally. The American Psychological Association (APA) recommends initiation of depression therapy using psychotherapy and pharmacological methods. Both methods can be used together or administered separately. Psychotherapy in cases of depression has various methods, one of which is community-based therapy. Community-based therapy focuses on maintaining, protecting, preventing, and improving the health status of population groups and communities. This form of treatment plays an important role in prevention and can be part of current mental health services. Community-based therapy has various approaches such as peer-support, group- based activities, and even therapy through online media. Based on this, we are interested in designing a literature review that aims to analyze the effectiveness of community-based peer support therapy and involves a group of individuals with similar life experiences.

Abstract

Depression in the elderly is becoming an increasingly important mental health issue as the aging population continues to grow in Indonesia and globally. Older adults are vulnerable to depression due to biological, psychological, and social changes they experience, which are often unrecognized as they are mistakenly considered part of normal aging. Symptoms of depression in the elderly include feelings of sadness, loss of interest, sleep and appetite disturbances, as well as decreased energy and concentration. The prevalence of depression is high, particularly among women, those living alone, or those with chronic illnesses. The etiology of late-life depression is multifactorial, involving psychosocial, medical, neurobiological, and inflammatory factors, and associations with cardiovascular diseases. Its management requires special attention from families, healthcare professionals, and the community for early detection, appropriate treatment, and social support to maintain the quality of life of the elderly.

Abstract

Children are categorized as a vulnerable population at risk of experiencing violence, with sexual violence being one of its most severe forms. Based on SIMFONI data in 2024, sexual violence is the most common case of violence against children in Indonesia. Sexual violence has the most significant impact on the emotional, mental, and personality development of children in Indonesia. This literature review aims to comprehensively examine sexual violence against children, including definition, resulting personality changes, psychological impacts caused by trauma, contributing factors, pathophysiological aspects, and appropriate intervention strategies for victims. This article was a literature study by examining 22 articles related to child sexual abuse. The findings indicate that sexual violence against children can lead to personality changes through complex neurobiological mechanisms, such as activation of the HPA axis, amygdala dysregulation, and hippocampal dysfunction. Support and intervention for victims of sexual violence involve contributions from the family, community, and the state. These are delivered through emotional support, legal protection, and psychological interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Based on these considerations, we are interested in conducting a scientific study on child sexual violence to understand the impact of personality changes in affected children and to evaluate the interventions that can be provided to support the victims’ psychological recovery.

Abstract

Choledochal cysts are congenital anomalies characterized by abnormal dilatation of the bile ducts, either intrahepatic or extrahepatic. This condition can lead to serious complications, including cholangitis, pancreatitis, and malignancy. Choledochal cysts are more prevalent in Asian populations compared to Western populations and are more commonly observed in females. Timely diagnosis is crucial to prevent further complications. This study aims to conduct a literature review on the anatomical variations and available therapeutic methods for managing choledochal cysts, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of various treatment approaches. A systematic literature review methodology was employed, involving database identification, keyword selection, article screening, and the use of recent publications from reputable scientific databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus. This review identifies five types of choledochal cysts based on the Todani classification, with Type I being the most common. The primary treatment for choledochal cysts involves complete cyst excision, usually followed by biliary reconstruction using Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. In more advanced cases, complex surgical procedures such as pancreaticoduodenectomy may be required. Biliary reconstruction following cyst excision, particularly through Roux-en-Y jejunostomy, has been proven effective and is considered the gold standard in choledochal cyst management. Surgical approaches should be tailored to the cyst type to achieve optimal clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Gliomas are the most common type of central nervous system neoplasms in children, exhibiting distinct clinical and biological characteristics compared to adult gliomas. Pediatric gliomas encompass various histological and molecular subtypes, ranging from low-grade gliomas (LGG) to high-grade gliomas (HGG) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), each with differing clinical presentations, treatment responses, and prognoses. This literature review discusses the definition, etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, treatment modalities, and prognostic factors of pediatric gliomas. Advances in imaging and molecular technologies have enabled more precise diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted molecular therapies, tailored according to tumor grade and location. A comprehensive understanding of the biological and clinical aspects of pediatric gliomas is essential for improving patient prognosis and quality of life.

Abstract

The skin, as the largest organ of the human body, plays a vital role in protecting the internal systems from external environments. As age increases, the skin undergoes two types of aging: intrinsic, caused by genetic and hormonal factors, and extrinsic, due to environmental factors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation and pollution. The aging process is characterized by a decrease in fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing collagen and elastin, leading to a reduction in skin strength and elasticity. Oxidative stress resulting from the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) contributes to DNA damage and triggers inflammatory responses that accelerate aging, manifesting as wrinkles and sagging skin. Chronic inflammation, induced by ROS, further supports premature aging by increasing inflammatory substances that cause redness and irritation of the skin. Additionally, dermal remodeling is a physiological process essential for maintaining healthy skin. Still, it can become pathological if there is an imbalance between synthesis and degradation of the extracellular matrix, thereby hastening signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin. In efforts to combat skin aging, several pharmacological aspects, such as topical therapies using sunscreens, retinoids, and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), have proven effective. Furthermore, systemic antioxidant supplementation also contributes to skin condition improvement. This comprehensive review provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of skin aging, the importance of skincare, and therapeutic strategies to counteract premature aging.

Abstract

Gunstock deformity, also known as cubitus varus, is a common complication that arises after supracondylar humerus fractures in children, primarily due to malunion of the bone. This condition results in an inward deviation of the forearm when the elbow is in full extension, creating a pronounced change in contour that can significantly impact biomechanical function and the quality of life of the patient. Common clinical symptoms include pain on the lateral side of the elbow, limited range of motion, and joint instability, particularly associated with ulnar neuropathy. Diagnosis is established through physical examination and radiological imaging to identify the angle of deviation and malalignment. Management of this deformity varies based on severity, ranging from observation in mild cases to surgical interventions like osteotomy in more severe cases. Common corrective techniques include lateral closing wedge osteotomy and dome osteotomy, aimed at restoring anatomical alignment and preventing long-term complications. Postoperative rehabilitation is crucial for regaining joint function and muscle strength. Long-term prognosis is generally good; however, it requires appropriate management to avoid complications like joint stiffness and ulnar neuropathy. A comprehensive approach encompassing diagnosis, deformity correction, and rehabilitation is essential for achieving optimal functional outcomes.

Abstract

Mental health is a crucial aspect in shaping the professional readiness of prospective teachers. However, this issue remains underexplored in teacher education, despite the complex emotional and academic pressures faced by students. This study aims to describe the perceptions of prospective teachers regarding mental health, in terms of their knowledge, experiences, and expectations for institutional support. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach involving 630 prospective teachers from various semesters. The instruments used consisted of a Likert scale, binary (Yes/No) questions, and open-ended questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive techniques, including mean scores, frequency distribution, and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students demonstrated a high level of awareness regarding the importance of mental health (mean score = 4.85), yet not all felt comfortable discussing the issue or seeking help when experiencing psychological pressure. A total of 63.17% of respondents had experienced or knew someone who experienced mental health problems, but only 37.14% felt they had adequate resources to cope. Student suggestions included the need for mental health education, counseling services, and awareness campaigns within the campus environment. These findings underscore the importance of integrating mental health education into teacher training curricula. Systematic efforts are needed to enhance literacy, reduce stigma, and foster a more supportive campus environment for the psychological well-being of future educators.

Abstract

This literature review explores the complex relationship between social media use and adolescent mental health, with a particular focus on social anxiety and depression. In the digital era, social media plays a major role in shaping adolescents’ self-identity and emotional well-being. This review synthesizes findings from various recent studies and analyzes how excessive and uncontrolled use of social media can damage self-perception, encourage unhealthy social comparisons, and trigger psychological disorders. Using a systematic literature review method, the study identifies key internal and external factors in identity formation—such as family, peers, and role models—and how these interact with social media. It also explores the emotional impact of phenomena such as Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), the influence of social feedback on the brain’s reward system, and stress responses involving the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Finally, the review identifies relevant intervention methods, such as internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT), as approaches to address the negative effects of social media. The findings highlight the dual role of social media as both a platform for self-expression and a source of emotional stress. The recommendations emphasize the importance of digital literacy, parental involvement, and public policy in promoting healthy social media habits. The study concludes that a multidisciplinary approach is essential to support adolescent mental health in an ever-evolving digital world.

Abstract

Mental health awareness is a crucial issue in the higher education ecosystem, given the high academic, social, and personal pressures experienced by students. This study aims to analyze the level of student awareness of mental health in higher education through a survey titled "Mental Health Matters." The research method used a quantitative approach, distributing questionnaires to students from various study programs. Data were analyzed descriptively to describe students' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding mental health and the importance of accessing campus counseling services. The survey results indicate that most respondents have a good understanding of mental health, but still encounter barriers such as social stigma and a lack of openness in seeking professional help. These findings emphasize the need to improve mental health literacy, strengthen social support within the campus environment, and the role of higher education institutions in providing more accessible services. This research is expected to provide a basis for developing mental health promotion programs in higher education.
