Patients with chronic kidney disease rely on hemodialysis therapy for life support, and this treatment can impact their psychological well-being. Family support is a crucial factor influencing psychological well-being in these patients. This study aims to investigate the correlation between family support and the psychological well-being of chronic kidney disease patients. The research employed an observational analytic cross-sectional design, with respondents being patients at Roemani Hospital in Semarang who underwent hemodialysis in October 2022. The study utilized questions to assess perceived social support from family and a psychological well-being scale. The statistical analysis employed the Spearman rank test, revealing a strong relationship between family support and the psychological well-being of chronic kidney disease patients, with a positive correlation (p = 0.001, r = 0.661). The findings suggest that higher levels of family support are associated with better psychological well-being in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis.

The success of the development of Navy Soldiers in terms of Tanggap, Tanggon, and Trengginas within the context of military education is influenced by the naval cadets’ engagement during the learning process. This study aimed to test the conceptual model of the engagement of naval cadets in learning in terms of teachers’ motivational support, academic self-efficacy, and academic motivation. The data was obtained from 514 naval cadets and analyzed with SEM using the AMOS program. The scale of the University Student Engagement Inventory (USEI), Patterns Adaptive Learning Strategies (PALS), Motivated Strategies Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), and Teacher as Social Context Questionnaire (TASCQ) were utilized. The results showed that teachers’ motivational support as social facilitators had a significant role in increasing the naval cadets’ engagement in the context of military education through personal facilitators, namely academic self-efficacy and mastery goal orientation. Meanwhile, performance goal orientation did not have a significant contribution as a mediator. This study provided input to naval cadets, lecturers/educators, and military educational institutions to emphasize the importance of the role of teachers' support, academic self-efficacy, and academic motivation

This study explored the relationship of Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA) and Adult Promiscuity among Filipina CSA survivors. It took into account the narratives of four participants who shared their experiences about being sexually abused as children, how the events affected them in youth into adulthood, their coping mechanisms, the seasons in their lives spent in promiscuity, and where they are now. Results showed that these survivors engaged in risky sexual activities because they wanted some semblance of control over what happened, they were addicted to the system of the abuse, and they were led to believe the negative notions instilled on their minds by their abusers. They were dissatisfied about their sexual experiences. Further into the paper, it was revealed that three out of these survivors no longer live promiscuous lives—where they expressed dissatisfaction with—and are either in recovery or had recovered from CSA. Cultural implications were also examined, showing that the Philippines has a secret pandemic of CSA, that its conservativeness attaches shame to CSA survivors, and that spirituality as Filipinos have both negative and positive effects amongst the lives of participants. In essence, this paper aims to assist with solutions to psychological problems of sexual trauma and the societal consequences they entail.Keywords: trauma, abuse, promiscuity, sexual abuse, childhood sexual abuse and adult promiscuity

The incidence of cyberbullying in adolescents is increasing. This is, in part, attributed to the progress of Science and Technology (IPTEK), which is inseparable from the negative impact of cyberbullying. The latter has become central to adolescent communication. Consequently, cyberbullying, especially among adolescents, demands serious attention for early intervention. The purpose of this study was to measure the level of cyberbullying among students at SMP IT Jambi City by implementing the Rasch Model, a modern theoretical approach enhancing the accuracy of measuring latent variables. The research included 91 students from classes VII and VIII, selected through proportional random sampling. Data collection employed the Cyber Victim and Bullying Scale (CVBS) with 28 questions. The Rasch Model analysis revealed a high level of cyberbullying among adolescents at SMP IT Jambi City, with 52.2% categorized as high and 47.8% as low. The results demonstrated high accuracy, evident in validity and reliability coefficients of 0.87 and 0.71, respectively. This research provides valuable information for stakeholders aiming to maintain a cyberbullying-free climate.

Academic dishonesty is a global problem that occurs in various parts of the world. Cases of academic dishonesty that are growing throughout the world are a serious concern for every country because they have a big impact on moral violations and other bad social behavior. This research aims to find out whether there is a relationship between moral integrity and academic dishonesty in students, and whether there is a relationship between learning climate and academic dishonesty in students. This research uses a correlational quantitative approach using 3 psychological scales as measuring tools, namely the academic dishonesty scale, the moral integrity scale and the learning climate scale which is adapted from previous researchers with good psychometric quality. The subjects in this research were 320 students from various levels throughout Indonesia who were taken using snowball sampling technique. Data analysis used the Pearson correlation test to answer hypothesis 1 and the Spearman correlation test for hypothesis 2 because of the two variable is not linear. The results of this research show that moral integrity has proven to be significant as a predictor of academic dishonesty behavior in students, however the research results found that there is no significant relationship between learning climate and academic dishonesty. The results of this research provide unexpected new findings that creating a positive learning climate alone is not enough to reduce the rate of academic dishonesty among students.

The mitigation strategy employed in addressing the prolonged pandemic situation in Indonesia yielded a discernment: collaborative efforts between individuals and the government were imperative to achieve the desired objectives. Despite the emergence of numerous psychological challenges among individuals during the pandemic, the pivotal role of public compliance became particularly evident during the implementation of social restrictions. Government initiatives to mitigate risks would not attain optimal effectiveness without substantial support from the public, either through trusting the government or adhering to regulatory measures. This study seeks to elucidate the moderating role of government trust in the impact of loneliness and self-control on students' compliance with social restriction policies during the Covid-19 pandemic. Conducted in early 2022 using a cross-sectional design, the study encompassed 401 undergraduate students from various regions in Indonesia. Employing Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA), the results demonstrated that trust in the government significantly moderated the effects of loneliness and self-control on student compliance (F(6, 403) = 101.017, p<0.001). The findings revealed that students were more inclined to comply with social restriction policies, even when experiencing loneliness, if they maintained trust in the government. This study underscores the significant role of government trust, particularly in situations necessitating cooperative behavior from the public in adhering to policies.

Many villages aspire to boost their tourism industry, but numerous ones face challenges due to limited ownership of three key elements: economic assets, intellectual capital, and social capital. However, a more critical factor contributing to the development of rural tourism is Psychological Capital (PsyCap). This research aims to assess the implementation of PsyCap and the readiness for change among small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) actors, serving as the primary driving force behind rural tourism. The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as documentary studies, observation, focus group discussions (FGDs), and interviews. The participants include five MSME actors and three coordinators of the Tourism Awareness Association (Pokdarwis) in Durensari village, Trenggalek. The data were analyzed using NVivo 12. The findings reveal that human resources, including local tourism associations and a strong sense of community unity, demonstrate positive psychological capital, contributing to the outstanding success of their tourism village despite starting with very limited financial, intellectual, and social resources. The adaptive attitudes of these participants reflect their readiness for change. Further discussion is explained in the article.
