Abstract

Divorce can have a significant impact on family dynamics. Adolescents with divorced parents show unique characteristics as they navigate the transition to adulthood and adjust to altered family dynamics. This study aims to see how the post-divorce parenting impacts on adolescents. The research used convenience sampling to select four adolescents with divorced parents as participants. Parenting is viewed based on the pattern of parental responsiveness and demandingness in adolescents. The data collection process was done using a qualitative approach, which involved interviews with four research participants. The interview data were then processed using thematic analysis, yielding several themes presented descriptively to answer the research questions. The results of this study found that adolescents with divorced parents have positive and negative experiences, meanings, and impacts from their parents' divorce. This is significantly influenced by the role of parents in parenting their teenagers after divorce. Parents can be risk factors and protective factors for adolescents whose parents are divorced. This study's data is crucial for divorced or divorcing parents and the Indonesian government, especially religious courts, as it provides psychoeducation on the impact of parental divorce on adolescents and the importance of appropriate post-divorce parenting.

Economic pressure has a significant negative direct effect on family resilience, while coping strategies and social support have a significant positive direct effect on family resilience. This research shows the importance of increasing per capita income, coping strategies and social support in increasing the resilience of sandwich families in Bogor city.

The cross-sectional study involved 120 wives of dual earner families with school-age children who were selected by simple random sampling from the population in Kelurahan Pasir Jaya and Gunung Batu, Bogor City. The results showed that most of the sample had high subjective well-being and family-friendly environment indices, but had moderate indices of time management, family work conflict, family work balancing strategies, and family transactions with the environment.

Abstract

Sending remittances back home may be a challenging financial task. Thus, this study was conducted to understand the financial management and commitment to sending remittances of nine Filipinas wives living in Virginia, United States. Data was gathered through face-to-face in-depth interviews regarding their household finances, expenditures, experiences about balancing household budget, and sending remittances back home. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. Results show that some participants are dependent homemakers on their sole earner-husbands, indicating that each household has different sources and levels of income. All households practice financial management by having clear financial goals, a working monthly budget, being proactive budget holders and decision makers, and setting money aside for savings. Households have an allotted amount of monetary remittance that they send back home. The commitment to remitting is a personal choice of the Filipina wives to help their families of origin. However, emergency requests for additional remittances leave the monthly family budget and savings at a potential risk for mismanagement. It should be made clear to the family of origin how much financial help can only be given so as not to affect the financial management process of their female relative in the United States.

Abstract

Long-distance marriage (LDM) can pose significant challenges for couples in preserving emotional intimacy, trust, and overall relationship stability, highlighting the importance of resilience in sustaining connections. This study investigated the interplay between spirituality, WhatsApp communication, and resilience in long-distance marriages. Resilience encompasses a couple's ability to effectively navigate challenges within a long-distance marriage (LDM). This study employed a quantitative correlational design and included 138 married individuals who have been engaged in LDM for at least one year. Data collection involved questionnaires assessing WhatsApp communication, spirituality measured by the Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES), and couple resilience evaluated through the Couple Resilience Inventory Scale (CRIS). Analyses were performed using IBM SPSS. The results indicated a positive correlation between WhatsApp communication and positive resilience behaviour (r = 0.489, p < 0.01), along with a negative correlation with negative resilience behaviour (r = -0.442, p < 0.01). Furthermore, spirituality exhibited a positive correlation with positive resilience behaviour (r = 0.422, p < 0.01) and a negative correlation with negative resilience behaviour (r = -0.299, p < 0.01). WhatsApp communication and spirituality accounted for 28.6% of the variance in couple resilience, with other factors influencing the remaining percentage. These findings suggest that both digital communication and spirituality play significant roles in enhancing resilience among couples in long-distance relationships.

Abstract

In the contemporary world, as parents increasingly acknowledge the crucial role of quality education in shaping their children's future, particularly through religious education, uncertainties persist regarding the most effective platforms for its implementation and delivery. This qualitative research aims to explore optimal locations for imparting religious education to children and investigate its role in the moral and ethical development of children through faith-based learning. The research involved interviews with ten parent informants to gather insights into the best platforms and impacts of religious education on children's moral and ethical growth, which were then analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns, key influences, and the extent of religious education's effectiveness in shaping children's character and ethical values. The findings show that religious education can be accessed through formal schooling, non-formal Quranic education, and the family. School-based religious education covers both theoretical and practical aspects, while Quranic education provides in-depth Islamic values. The family integrates religious values into daily life, with parents serving as primary educators and role models. The research highlights the significant impact of religious education on moral and ethical character, spiritual foundation, social skills, cognitive development, independence, and communication. It advocates for the integration of religious values across all educational platforms, emphasizing its role in fostering intellectually skilled and morally upright individuals.
