<![CDATA[The issue of students' lack of discipline in public schools remains a major challenge in educational institutions. When disciplinary issues such as tardiness, failure to complete homework, skipping classes, and truancy are left unaddressed, they can disrupt the learning process and directly impact students' academic performance. This study aims to analyze the improvement of learning discipline among vocational high school students (SMKN) using behavioristic group counseling with self-management techniques to enhance student discipline. The research employed a quantitative approach with an experimental method. The design used in this study was a quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 195 students, from which 10 students were selected for the experimental group and 10 students for the control group, all of whom exhibited low levels of learning discipline. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Data analysis techniques included the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov 2 Independent Samples test. The findings revealed that group counseling services using a behavioristic 1approach with self-management techniques effectively improved students' learning discipline. These results provide practical implications for school counselors in delivering guidance and counseling services, particularly group counseling services, using a behavioristic approach with self-management techniques to systematically improve students' learning discipline.]]>

<![CDATA[Sexual violence is a social phenomenon that remains widespread in Indonesia, involving not only adults but also children, both as victims and perpetrators. One form of sexual violence includes physical actions such as kissing, touching, and penetration, which stem from negative thoughts. Interventions are needed to address this behavior, one of which is group counseling based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) with the thought stopping technique. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of group counseling using CBT with the thought stopping technique in reducing sexual violence behavior among inmates. The research employs a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The sample consists of 10 inmates in the experimental group and 10 in the control group, selected using purposive sampling. The instrument used is a questionnaire with a Likert scale, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov Two Independent Samples, supported by SPSS version 26.0. The results show that: (1) the experimental group experienced a significant reduction in sexual violence behavior, reaching a low category; (2) the control group remained in the moderate category; (3) there were significant differences before and after the intervention between the experimental and control groups. Group counseling using CBT with the thought stopping technique is proven effective and can serve as an alternative intervention to address sexual violence.]]>

<![CDATA[Narcissism refers to a condition in which individuals excessively love themselves, whereas leadership is a process of influencing others to achieve shared goals within a group. This study aims to examine the extent to which narcissism influences perceptions of leadership and the decision to select a leader. It also explores the impact of personality similarity on leadership perceptions and leader selection decisions. The findings reveal differences in leadership perceptions between candidates with high and low levels of narcissism. Leaders with high narcissism are perceived more positively and are more likely to be recommended for leadership positions compared to those with low narcissism. However, the similarity in narcissism between leaders and candidates does not influence the decision to choose a leader. This research addresses the gap in the study of the relationship between narcissism and leadership perceptions in Indonesia, where narcissism is often viewed negatively in the context of leadership. The findings indicate that personality similarity (narcissism) between voters and leadership candidates does not significantly affect voter perceptions or recommendations. Practically, this study demonstrates that narcissism can be a factor in selecting a leader, although personality similarity does not necessarily determine voting decisions.]]>

<![CDATA[Waste management has been a critical issue in Indonesia, demanding urgent attention for sustainability and public health. The lack of public awareness underscored the need to understand pro-environmental behaviors, particularly waste sorting. Indonesia’s urban millennial workforce was expected to drive change in raising environmental awareness. This study explored the waste sorting behavior of urban millennial workers, influenced by work and family environments. Using Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with 18 participants (8 in Jakarta, 10 in Surabaya), data was analyzed using NVIVO 14. The qualitative approach was chosen for its ability to provide in-depth insights into participants’ behaviors and perspectives. Findings revealed that inadequate facilities, lack of social support, and weak regulation enforcement hindered waste sorting, despite positive attitudes toward sustainability. The study suggested improving infrastructure, enforcing regulations, and enhancing socialization to promote sustainable waste sorting among urban millennial workers. The findings emphasized the need for policy development and corporate responsibility and recommended further research on the long-term effects of education, socialization, and regulation enforcement.]]>

<![CDATA[Suicide is the fourth leading cause of premature death among emerging adults, with significant implications for public health. In Indonesia, the prevalence of suicide cases has reached 6,544, although this figure likely underrepresents the true extent of the issue. Alarmingly, only a small percentage of Indonesian adolescents, approximately 2.6%, seek psychological assistance despite the pressing need for mental health support. This study investigates the roles of suicide literacy and stigma in shaping attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. Data were collected through an online survey involving 397 respondents. The analysis utilized multiple linear regression to assess the contributions of suicide literacy, stigma, and various demographic factors to attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help. Findings indicated that while suicide literacy, stigma, and demographic variables collectively contribute to attitudes toward seeking professional help, only suicide stigma and demographic factors (college major and family relation) significantly influenced these attitudes. This study underscores the critical need to address and reduce suicide stigma as a means of fostering positive attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help among emerging adults in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[Patient safety is a critical component of healthcare quality, with an increasing emphasis on cultivating a strong safety culture within healthcare organizations. A robust safety culture is linked to improved patient outcomes, particularly in hospital settings. This study contributes to the international literature by examining the perceptions of safety culture among healthcare professionals in Indonesia through a cross-sectional survey involving 100 health workers using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) instrument. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data, revealing that the dimension of organizational learning and continuous improvement received the highest positive response rate (83%), while teamwork across hospital units was notably low at 43.8%. Multiple regression analysis revealed that organizational learning and continuous improvement was the most significant predictor of overall safety perceptions (β = 3.975, p = 0.000), emphasizing the importance of sustained learning in fostering a robust safety culture. This study highlights the need for structured training programs on teamwork and error reporting without penalty, advocating for enhanced healthcare policies in Indonesia to strengthen patient safety culture.]]>

<![CDATA[ The study analyzed the relationship between family functioning and work empowerment on personal growth initiative among workers with disabilities. It involved 244 participants selected through purposive sampling, focusing on active workers across various sectors. The researchers utilized Likert scales to measure family functioning, work empowerment, and personal growth initiative, ensuring reliability with Cronbach's Alpha (α > 0.8). Normality and linearity assumptions were met before analysis. Multiple regression analysis results showed a significant relationship (F = 32.521, p < 0.01), indicating that family functioning and work empowerment explained 21.3% of the variation in personal growth initiative (R² = 0.213). These findings highlighted the importance of family support and workplace empowerment in promoting personal growth for workers with disabilities, suggesting a need for inclusive policies and support programs to enhance their quality of life. ]]>

<![CDATA[HIV remains a significant global health concern, often increasing the risk of psychological distress, including depression and anxiety. Anxiety, characterized by feelings of unease and excessive worry about future events, may be influenced by mindfulness and resilience. Mindfulness, which enhances present-moment awareness, has been shown to reduce anxiety, while resilience enables individuals to cope with stressors, facilitating better management of life and treatment. This quantitative correlational study involved 116 respondents, selected through saturated sampling. The study utilized Nevid et al.'s (2003) Anxiety Scale, Baer et al.'s (2006) Mindfulness Scale, and Reivich & Shatté's (2002) Resilience Scale. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between resilience, mindfulness, and anxiety (F = 20.473, p < 0.05), with these variables accounting for 26.6% of the variance in anxiety levels. Specifically, resilience negatively correlated with anxiety (t = -2.267, p = 0.025), as did mindfulness (t = -3.068, p = 0.003). These findings suggest that both resilience and mindfulness play a crucial role in reducing anxiety among HIV patients. Therefore, integrating mindfulness and resilience-based interventions into HIV care programs may be beneficial in alleviating anxiety in this population.]]>

<![CDATA[Authentic followership has been proven to contribute to increasing the effectiveness of leadership and organizational performance. Authentic followership has four-dimensional structures, namely self-awareness, balanced processing, relational transparency, and internalized moral perspective. Based on previous studies, the only measuring instrument that is comprehensive enough to reveal the construct of authentic followership is the authentic followership scale by Leroy et al. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to adapt the authentic followership scale into the Indonesian language and test its validity. To determine the content and construct validity of the measuring instrument, this study involved 531 participants (M age = 42.31, SD = 9.76; 58% female and 42% male). The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) proved that the four-factor measurement model (16 items) fit the empirical data obtained. This finding indicates that the Indonesian adaptation of the authentic followership scale has internal validity and construct validity as a measuring instrument. This study has limitations related to participants who only involved members of public organizations from East Java. Therefore, further research should involve members of public organizations from various organizations throughout the province. The originality of this study is the only adaptation process of the authentic followership scale in the Indonesian language that has ever existed.]]>
