This community service program was held at SD Negeri 102028 Dusun II Sei Parit, Sei Rampah District, Serdang Bedagai Regency, with a focus on applying the principles of sharia economic justice. This goal is achieved through education about the prohibition of usury and savings initiatives from an early age. This activity was motivated by the lack of Islamic financial literacy among children, especially related to the risk of usury and the urgency of frugal behavior and financial responsibility. The method chosen is a participatory-educational approach, which includes socialization, simulation and habituation, prioritizing the active involvement of students. The activity is divided into two main phases, namely usury education and saving education, utilizing animated films, educational games and picture stories. The impact of this service shows an increase in students' insight into the concept of riba, discipline in frugality, and the growth of awareness to manage money wisely according to Islamic guidance. Children are now beginning to understand that money is a mandate that must be used correctly and halal. In addition, this program also encourages the formation of the character of responsibility, trust and justice in the participants. Therefore, this program makes a significant contribution in building a children's mentality based on the principles of sharia economic justice and is worthy of being used as a prototype of Islamic financial education at the elementary school level.

Cyberbullying is a form of online violence that is increasingly widespread in the digital era, with serious impacts on adolescent mental health, such as depression, stress, and anxiety. This study aims to examine the impact of cyberbullying on adolescent mental health through a literature review covering 10 accredited journals indexed by SINTA, Google Scholar, and DOAJ. The method used is a literature review with a comparative analysis approach to previous research findings. The results of the study indicate that victims of cyberbullying often experience decreased self-esteem, emotional disturbances such as shame and fear, and decreased motivation to learn. These disturbances can then increase the risk of depression among adolescents. Decreased self-esteem and increased anxiety also impact their academic performance and social engagement. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that cyberbullying is a significant factor threatening adolescent mental health. Therefore, serious attention is needed from various parties, including schools, families, and communities, to provide protection and psychosocial support to victims. Recommended interventions include digital literacy education, family support, and counseling programs that can help adolescents overcome the negative impacts of cyberbullying and prevent lasting effects on their mental health.

In addition, certain phases of IVF, such as the waiting phase after embryo transfer, appeared to be associated with increased levels of anxiety and stress. This study emphasizes the importance of more intensive psychological support, especially for women who are in the more stressful stages of IVF, as well as for those with sociodemographic risk factors that increase their vulnerability to psychological disorders.

Interdisciplinary studies linking the Quran and Hadith with modern science continues to attract significant attention among global academics. This phenomenon reflects a paradigm shift in Islamic studies, where integration with contemporary disciplines is seen as essential for a more comprehensive understanding. Prayer holds a central place in Islamic teachings, recognized as one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam. The concept of health in Islam is broad, encompassing physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects in an integrated manner. This holistic Islamic view of health demonstrates that the practice of worship, particularly prayer, has the potential to provide health benefits that extend beyond the physical dimension. Prayer contributes significantly to an individual's overall mental and spiritual well-being. The aim of this study was to understand the integration of prayer and health through an interdisciplinary study linking the Koran and Hadith. The study concluded that there is a significant and multifaceted relationship between the practice of prayer and various aspects of health, encompassing the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. This demonstrates that religious teachings do not focus solely on the spiritual aspect but also provide a comprehensive framework for maintaining overall health.

In human life, sports play a very important role as they can influence both physical and psychological conditions. Through regular physical activity, individuals not only achieve physical fitness but also maintain mental and emotional balance. One type of exercise that is interesting to study is slow running, which involves running at a steady but gentle pace. This study focuses on examining the effectiveness of group slow running on levels of happiness. The subjects of this research were students from the Psychology Department at Universitas Negeri Padang, class of 2021, aged between 18 and 21 years old. The study employed a quantitative method with an experimental approach using a pretest-posttest control group design. Two groups were involved in this research—an experimental group and a control group—each receiving different treatments. Measurements were conducted before and after the intervention to observe changes in happiness levels. The results of the independent sample t-test analysis showed a significance value of 0.003, which is smaller than α = 0.05. This indicates a significant difference between the two groups. Therefore, it can be concluded that group slow running is effective in increasing happiness among adolescents, particularly university students, as it fosters feelings of relaxation, enthusiasm, and togetherness.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder often accompanied by various psychopathological manifestations, one of which is auditory hallucinations that limit social functioning and reduce the quality of life of affected individuals. Dhikr therapy, as a psychoreligious approach, is believed to provide inner peace and reduce the intensity of hallucinatory symptoms. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of dhikr therapy among schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations who were treated at Aceh Mental Hospital. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest model and purposive sampling technique, involving 15 patients experiencing auditory hallucinations. The intervention was conducted for three consecutive days, with each session lasting 10–20 minutes and consisting of a sequence of dhikr recitations including istighfar, tasbih, tahmid, and takbir. The severity of hallucinations was measured using the Auditory Hallucination Rating Scale (AHRS). Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant decrease in auditory hallucination scores with a p-value of 0.001. These findings indicate that dhikr therapy is effective in helping patients manage hallucinatory symptoms and may serve as a non-pharmacological therapeutic alternative in psychiatric nursing care for schizophrenia patients

Prenatal exercise plays a vital role in maintaining the physical and mental well-being of pregnant women. This activity helps reduce common discomforts such as back pain, enhances stamina, and strengthens pelvic muscles in preparation for childbirth. However, knowledge among pregnant women regarding safe and effective exercises remains limited. The lack of structured information often leads to uncertainty and discourages participation in physical activities during pregnancy. This condition highlights the need for well-directed and comprehensive physiotherapy education. This community service program was conducted in Building B of the Kedungkandang Community Health Center and involved 15 participants. A holistic approach was employed, combining interactive counseling to convey the theoretical benefits and safety of exercise, group discussions to share experiences, and practical demonstrations. The exercises demonstrated were carefully selected to be simple, safe, and easy to perform independently at home, ensuring continuity beyond the educational sessions. The results indicated a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, as evidenced by the comparison between pre-test and post-test scores. This improvement reflects the growing awareness among pregnant women of the importance of maintaining fitness through structured and safe physical activity. Continuous education through a community physiotherapy approach is necessary to ensure consistent implementation of prenatal exercise and to support long-term behavioral changes toward better maternal health.

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made it a part of the teens' routine, but the intensity of its use raises concerns about mental health. This study aims to analyze the pattern of AI utilization and its impact on stress, anxiety, and depression in students of St. Petrus Medan High School using the framework of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), namely competence, autonomy, and connectedness). The research was conducted with a quantitative approach through a survey of 64 students using a total sampling technique, equipped with focused group discussions (FGDs) and literature review. The results show that more than 70% of students use AI on a regular basis, mainly through chatbots (81%) and social media (73%). Some students (35.9%) also use AI as a means of venting. Although 85.9% of respondents found AI to be helpful, the majority (59.3%) reported feeling inferior as a result of comparing themselves to AI results. These findings reveal a psychological paradox, where AI is perceived as a solution as well as a source of pressure. This condition has the potential to trigger stress and anxiety, although depressive symptoms do not yet appear to be dominant. This research emphasizes the importance of healthy digital literacy as well as mentoring from schools and parents to reduce the risk of AI addiction and maintain adolescent mental well-being.

This research endeavors to scrutinize how keen students are on learning Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMKS Muhammadiyah 9 Medan. The impetus for this investigation arises from the noticeable lack of enthusiasm among students when they attend PAI lessons. These lessons are frequently seen as uninteresting, lacking variety, and less stimulating when compared to the vocational subjects they are studying. These circumstances create difficulties for PAI instructors, who must establish a learning environment that not only delivers content but also cultivates real motivation and a genuine passion in the students. A qualitative descriptive method was used for this study, and information was gathered through classroom observations, conversations with instructors and students, and surveys to gain insights into students' views on their educational experiences. The information was analyzed to pinpoint the internal and external elements that affect learning interest. The results show that the students' level of interest in learning is somewhere between moderate and low. Personal drive, study routines, and students' mental preparation are examples of internal variables, whereas teaching strategies, the use of educational resources, and the backing of the school setting and family are examples of external variables. The research emphasizes the necessity for teaching strategies that are relevant, diverse, engaging, and more in line with the requirements of the students, based on these findings. It is hoped that learning PAI will not only improve cognitive comprehension but will also raise awareness of the significance of Islamic principles in daily life.

Environmental comfort and tourist interest in the healing concept emerged as the main factors promoting the site’s development potential. Stakeholder perspectives reveal aligned objectives among the government, community, and tourism actors to establish Pelawan Forest as an environmentally friendly quality tourism destination. This research emphasizes the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration and sustainable governance to ensure tourism development that provides economic benefits while maintaining ecological balance and enhancing visitors’ mental and physical well-being.

Regional Disaster Management Agency (RDMA) workers must be on standby and respond for 24 hours, especially if there are emergency. This causes demands on workers and workers become fatigue. The aim of this study is to analyze the factors that influence work fatigue in Tuban Regency’s RDMA workers. This research includes analytical and observational with a cross sectional design. The study was conducted on 56 workers with a simple random sampling system. The dependent variable studied was physical and mental fatigue, while the independent variables consisted of work factors (working hours and workload), emotional demands (responsibility), and organizational demands (work shifts). Data collection was carried out by direct measurement, questionnaires, interviews, documentation and observation then processed with Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The factors that affect work fatigue are work factors (t statistics = 3.643 and p-values = 0.000) and organizational demands (t statistics = 3.086 and p-values = 0.002), while emotional demands have no effect (t statistics = 0.950 and p-values = 0.342). Loading factors of physical work fatigue (0.917) and mental work fatigue (0.916) are almost the same, so they have the same contribution as a measure of fatigue. Workers who experience work fatigue should conduct regular medical examinations, know the workload limit for one day, organize sufficient work time, regularly rotate work time, stretch in the middle of work activities, prepare work music and videos during breaks.

This research examines the role of family quality time in dealing with children with special needs (ABK) from the perspective of John 9:2-3. Based on analysis of the text, this research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with library study methods to collect and analyze data from various relevant sources. The results of the discussion show that children with special needs are God's initial creation, and there is a need for a deep understanding of human diversity and rejection of stigmatization related to children's conditions. In this context, the role of the family is very important in supporting, protecting and treating children with special needs with appropriate love and respect. The perspective of John 9:2-3 shows that the physical or mental condition of children with special needs is not the result of sin, but is an opportunity to demonstrate God's power and demonstrate God's love and deep concern for children. Therefore, implementing the role of family quality time involves several approaches, including giving full attention when together, involving children in family activities, and reading and meditating on the Bible together. So, this approach has great potential to promote the well-being and development of children with special needs, as well as strengthen healthy and inclusive intrafamilial relationships. Thus, the role of family quality time in dealing with children with special needs is important morally and spiritually, as well as in forming a strong foundation for children's growth and happiness in the family context.

The long-term care required by schizophrenia patients places a heavy burden on caregivers who are responsible for meeting the patients' needs. Performing these caregiving tasks often causes physical and emotional stress on caregivers, especially due to the long-term nature of the care. In situations like this, coping strategies play a crucial role in supporting the well-being of caregivers so that they are able to face the challenges that arise during the process of caring for schizophrenic patients. This study focuses on examining the correlation between coping strategies and the quality of life of caregivers who provide care for schizophrenic patients at the Aceh Mental Hospital Polyclinic. The research design applied was analytical with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 115 caregivers were sampled through accidental sampling from a total population of 4,035 families. Research data were collected using two measuring instruments, namely the Brief COPE questionnaire and The Schizophrenia Caregiver Quality of Life Questionnaire (SCGQoL). The research process took place at the Aceh Mental Hospital Polyclinic from March 6 to 24, 2025. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate methods. Based on the research results, it was found that 108 caregivers (93.9%) were in the low coping strategy category, while 80 caregivers (69.6%) had a moderate quality of life. Statistical testing with Chi-Square produced a p-value of 0.001, which indicates a significant relationship between coping strategies and the quality of life of caregivers. Therefore, it is hoped that health care institutions can improve mental health nursing interventions for patients' families, particularly through educational programs on managing schizophrenia patients at home and assistance in identifying adaptive coping resources for patients' families.

This study thoroughly explores the role of Christian women’s fellowship as a locus of spiritual recovery for survivors of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The research was conducted through a library study of scholarly literature published in the past decade on faith-based community support, religious coping, and trauma-informed ministry. Thematic analysis indicates that women’s fellowship can provide a safe and inclusive recovery environment, facilitate faith reconstruction through positive religious coping and trauma-sensitive practices, and bridge spiritual care with professional mental health services. The novelty of this research lies in integrating recent findings from the psychology of religion with pastoral theology principles to develop a theoretical-practical framework adaptable to church contexts. The practical implications include implementing trauma-informed ministry standards, designing adaptive spiritual curricula, training facilitators, and conducting continuous evaluations. Therefore, Christian women’s fellowship has the potential to strengthen the church’s capacity as a holistic, safe, and resilient recovery community for PTSD survivors.
