<![CDATA[Bereavement following the loss of a significant person in the digital age is not always expressed through emotional disclosure on social media. Some individuals choose to grieve privately, yet such experiences remain relatively underexplored in psychological research. This study aimed to examine the lived experiences of individuals who engaged in private grieving after the death of someone close to them. A qualitative phenomenological design was employed, involving in-depth interviews with five adult women. The data were analyze using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that grieving was experienced as a dynamic and non-linear process characterized by the disruption of fundamental assumptions about life, the negotiation of a changed reality, and the reconstruction of meaning, relationships, and personal identity following loss. Participants maintained emotional connections with the deceased through continuing bonds while gradually reorganizing their lives through personal reflection and meaning-making. These findings extend current understanding of private grief in the digital age by demonstrating that profound grief processing may occur without public emotional disclosure on social media. Private grieving should therefore not be interpreted as emotional avoidance or an absence of meaningful adaptation.]]>

<![CDATA[In the era of digitalization, marketing employees are expected to continuously generate creative ideas while adapting to rapid technological and market changes. This study examined the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between co-worker support and employee creativity among marketing employees in Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional correlational design was employed with 102 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the using the MedMod (Version 2.1.14) module in Jamovi, equivalent to Hayes' PROCESS Model 4 and a nonparametric bootstrap procedure based on 5,000 resamples. The results indicated that co-worker support was positiv3ely associated with work engagement (B = 0.262, p = .015) and employee creativity (B = 0.168, p = .031). Work engagement was also positively associated with employee creativity (B = 0.387, p < .001). In addition, an indirect association between co-worker support and employee creativity through work engagement was also observed (B = 0.101, 95% CI [0.024, 0.199]). These findings suggest that the association between co-worker support and employee creativity operates, in part, through work engagement.]]>

<![CDATA[Work–life boundary integration reflects the extent to which work-related and personal-life activities, thoughts, communications, and responsibilities cross domain boundaries, rather than the quality or success of work–life functioning. This cross-sectional study examined the associations of challenge stressors (workload, complexity, and time pressure) and hindrance stressors (role ambiguity, role conflict, and bureaucratic constraints) with work-to-life and life-to-work boundary integration among 209 married female professional consultants aged 18–40 years in Jabodetabek. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires and analysed using SmartPLS. Hindrance stressors were positively associated with both work-to-life boundary integration (β = .474, p < .001) and life-to-work boundary integration (β = .418, p < .001), whereas challenge stressors were not significantly associated with either dimension. These findings suggest that role ambiguity and organizational obstacles may be relevant correlates of employees’ boundary management. However, the nonsignificant challenge-stressor associations should not be interpreted as evidence that high workloads are harmless.]]>

<![CDATA[The growing number of students working while pursuing higher education highlights the need to understand factors associated with their psychological well-being. This study examined the associations among religiosity, frugal behavior, and financial resilience with the psychological well-being of working students. A quantitative explanatory survey was conducted with 195 Indonesian Muslim working students aged 18–25, recruited through voluntary sampling. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM with a disjoint two-stage approach. The results indicated that religiosity was positively associated with financial resilience, which, in turn, was positively associated with psychological well-being, as reflected in a significant indirect association of religiosity with psychological well-being via financial resilience. Frugal behavior, however, was significantly and negatively associated with psychological well-being. Given the modest explanatory power of the model, these findings should be interpreted as statistical associations rather than causal effects. Nevertheless, they suggest that strengthening financial resilience may represent a practical strategy for supporting the psychological well-being of working students through university and stakeholder initiatives.]]>

<![CDATA[The quality of husband–wife interaction is important for family stability, particularly among nurses who must manage substantial occupational demands under shift and non-shift work arrangements. This study examined differences in social support, work–family conflict, family functioning, and husband–wife interaction between shift and non-shift nurses. It also investigated the associations among these variables. Using a cross-sectional design, 200 married nurses—100 shift nurses and 100 non-shift nurses—were recruited through purposive sampling. Group differences were examined using the Mann–Whitney U test, supplemented by covariate-adjusted and parametric sensitivity analyses. The proposed relationships were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The primary analysis indicated that family functioning was higher among non-shift nurses (p = .009); however, this difference was no longer significant after adjustment for demographic covariates. Work–family conflict did not differ significantly between the groups in the Mann–Whitney analysis (p = .055), whereas a supplementary parametric analysis yielded p = .044, indicating that this result was sensitive to the analytical method. No significant group differences were found in social support or husband–wife interaction. The PLS-SEM results showed that social support was positively associated with family functioning (β = .660) and husband–wife interaction (β = .200) and negatively associated with work–family conflict (β = −.219). Family functioning was positively associated with husband–wife interaction (β = .416) and emerged as the primary mediating pathway. Work–family conflict was not significantly associated with either family functioning or husband–wife interaction. Overall, social support and family functioning were more closely associated with the quality of husband–wife interaction than work–family conflict. Differences between shift and non-shift nurses should be interpreted cautiously because they were not consistent across adjusted and sensitivity analyses.]]>

<![CDATA[Smoking among adolescents remained a major public health concern, particularly with the increasing use of conventional cigarettes and electronic cigarettes. This study examined the associations of father's perceived parenting style, problematic social media use, peer conformity, and self-control with smoking behavior among adolescent smokers. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 116 adolescent smokers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. Father's perceived parenting style was positively associated with problematic social media use but negatively associated with self-control. Problematic social media use was positively associated with peer conformity and indirectly associated with smoking behavior through peer conformity. Peer conformity showed a positive association with smoking behavior, whereas self-control was not significantly associated with smoking behavior. These findings suggested that family and social factors were more strongly associated with variation in smoking behavior among adolescents who already reported smoking experience than individual self-control. The findings may inform family-based and peer-oriented support and prevention strategies for adolescents who smoke, but they should not be interpreted as evidence about smoking initiation in the general adolescent population.]]>

<![CDATA[Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition with an increasing prevalence. Patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis face multidimensional challenges, including physical and psychological symptoms, family support, health-service-related factors, nursing problems, and difficulties adhering to treatment. This study examined nursing problems and factors associated with treatment adherence among patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis at Jakarta Islamic Hospital Cempaka Putih. This quantitative cross-sectional study included 54 respondents recruited through purposive sampling according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Treatment adherence was assessed using the End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire (ESRD-AQ). Physical, psychological, family support, and health service factors were assessed using questionnaires, whereas nursing problems were identified through medical-record review based on the Indonesian Nursing Diagnosis Standards (SDKI). Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed using Spearman’s correlation test. The most common co-occurring nursing diagnoses were excess fluid volume, anxiety, and therapy nonadherence, identified in 25 respondents (46.3%). Physical factors were negatively associated with treatment adherence (r = −.323, p = .017), whereas health service factors were positively associated with treatment adherence (r = .393, p = .003). Psychological factors (r = −.117, p = .400) and family support (r = −.164, p = .236) were not significantly associated with treatment adherence. Among the examined variables, health service factors showed the strongest correlation with treatment adherence. Improving the quality of health services and addressing patients’ physical conditions may support treatment adherence among patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify causal relationships.]]>

<![CDATA[Academic procrastination is prevalent among university students and is associated with poorer academic achievement and psychological well-being. Although academic flow and task aversiveness may be relevant to procrastination, it remains unclear whether task aversiveness changes the strength of the flow–procrastination relationship. This study examined the associations of academic flow and task aversiveness with academic procrastination and tested the moderating role of task aversiveness. A cross-sectional correlational survey was conducted among 369 active students from the fourth through final semesters at UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. Participants were selected using proportionate stratified sampling. Data were collected using the Academic Procrastination Scale, Academic Flow Scale, and Task Aversiveness Scale and analyzed using moderated regression analysis. Academic flow was negatively associated with academic procrastination (B = −0.163, p < .001), whereas task aversiveness was positively associated with academic procrastination (B = 0.419, p < .001). However, the interaction between academic flow and task aversiveness was not significant (B = 0.001, p = .687), indicating that the hypothesized moderation was not supported. These findings suggest that academic flow and task aversiveness are independently associated with academic procrastination, but task aversiveness does not appear to alter the flow–procrastination relationship. Longitudinal and experimental studies are needed to clarify the temporal and causal mechanisms underlying these associations.]]>

<![CDATA[One factor that influences employee performance is psychological well-being, while job insecurity is presumed to moderate this relationship. This study aimed to examine the role of job insecurity as a moderating variable in the effect of psychological well-being on employee performance among employees of Bank Mandiri in Medan. This study employed a quantitative approach with 275 employees as research subjects. Data were collected using the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ), Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Job Insecurity Questionnaire (JIQ). The results showed that psychological well-being had a positive and significant effect on job performance. Meanwhile, the moderation effect test showed that the interaction between psychological well-being and job insecurity had a path coefficient of -0.023, a T-statistic of 1.784, and a p-value of 0.075, indicating that job insecurity did not significantly moderate the relationship statistically. Nevertheless, the negative coefficient indicates that as the level of job insecurity increases, the positive effect of psychological well-being on job performance tends to become weaker.]]>

<![CDATA[Academic engagement is particularly important for student-athletes, who must manage the competing demands of academic study and athletic participation. This study examined whether intrinsic motivation and perceived social support were associated with academic engagement among Indonesian student-athletes. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional correlational design, the study involved 126 student-athletes in Medan, Indonesia. Data were collected using the Intrinsic Motivation subscale of the Academic Motivation Scale–College Version, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the SInAPSi Academic Engagement Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that intrinsic motivation (β = .434, p < .001) and perceived social support (β = .412, p < .001) were significant positive predictors of academic engagement. The overall regression model was statistically significant, F(2, 123) = 73.65, p < .001, and explained 54.5% of the variance in academic engagement (R² = .545). These findings identify intrinsic motivation and perceived social support as important correlates of academic engagement among student-athletes. Therefore, efforts to strengthen student-athletes’ intrinsic motivation and foster supportive interpersonal environments may help sustain their engagement in academic activities.]]>
