Anemia is a global health problem with a high prevalence among adolescents, especially girls, due to increased iron requirements, rapid growth, and menstruation. This condition impacts health, concentration, and quality of life. Hemoglobin, as an indicator of anemia, plays a crucial role in oxygen transport, so adolescents' understanding of its function is crucial. This activity aims to increase adolescents' understanding of the role of hemoglobin and anemia prevention through health education at SMK Negeri 10 Garut. The method used was a participatory approach through an initial questionnaire, material delivery, discussion, and post-education evaluation. The results showed an increase in students' knowledge about anemia and hemoglobin. This education effectively increases adolescents' awareness and motivation to improve their diets, so it needs to be implemented continuously with the support of schools, parents, and health workers.

Individuals who do not live with their parents or do not have a nuclear family are generally placed in social care institutions such as orphanages. Living outside the family environment causes orphaned adolescents to experience limitations in building emotional bonds that are usually obtained from interactions with family. The absence of strong emotional relationships can affect various aspects of adolescent psychology, one of which is self-acceptance. Adolescents living in orphanages often perceive themselves as different from adolescents raised in intact families. This feeling can impact the formation of self-concept, self-esteem, and how they view and accept themselves. This study aims to examine the level of self-acceptance of orphaned adolescents living in orphanages, identify factors that influence self-acceptance, and understand the role of self-acceptance in relation to other psychological variables. This study was conducted using a literature review method of various relevant previous research results. Based on the results of the literature review, it was found that self-acceptance of orphaned adolescents in orphanages is generally at a moderate to high level. Several key factors contributing to this self-acceptance include social support from the surrounding environment, self-esteem, optimism, and a positive self-concept. These factors are interrelated and play a crucial role in shaping the psychological resilience and mental health of adolescents in orphanages.   Keywords: self-acceptance , orphaned teenager, orphanage

Interpersonal communication is a crucial aspect of human life, both within the family and in the community, as it serves as a means of providing motivation, support, and positive guidance. One social issue of considerable concern is alcohol dependence among adolescents, which can negatively impact their physical, mental, and social development. This study was conducted to determine how interpersonal communication between parents and adolescents in Lalang Village, Rana Mese District, East Manggarai Regency, plays a role in reducing alcohol dependence. Furthermore, this study also examined the strategies parents use to overcome barriers to interpersonal communication in an effort to prevent alcohol consumption among adolescents. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of parents and adolescents in Lalang Village. Analysis was conducted by examining the communication patterns that occur, the obstacles encountered, and their impact on adolescent behavior related to alcohol consumption. The results of the study indicate that interpersonal communication between parents and adolescents in reducing alcohol dependence is still not optimal. This is evident in the lack of time spent together between parents and adolescents, the low response of adolescents to messages delivered face-to-face, and the lack of understanding on the negative impacts of alcohol on health on both parties. Cultural factors and limited knowledge also hinder the effectiveness of interpersonal communication. In conclusion, effective interpersonal communication is essential for educating and guiding adolescents to reduce alcohol consumption. Efforts should include improving parental communication skills, strengthening family interactions, and raising public awareness of the dangers of alcohol. Educators and community leaders also play a crucial role in supporting the education process and preventing alcohol dependence among adolescents.

Anemia is a public health problem widely experienced by adolescents, particularly in developing countries, including Indonesia. Low levels of knowledge about anemia contribute to its high prevalence. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of educational videos in improving knowledge about anemia among adolescents at SMP Plus At-Thoiba Pekanbaru. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The population consisted of all eighth-grade students at SMP Plus At-Thoiba Pekanbaru, totaling 17 respondents, selected through total sampling. The instrument used was an anemia knowledge questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test due to non-normally distributed data. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 9.59 before the intervention to 12.41 after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. A total of 94.1% of respondents experienced an increase in knowledge after watching the educational video. The study concludes that educational videos are effective in increasing adolescents’ knowledge about anemia. This medium can serve as an appropriate alternative in school health promotion programs to prevent anemia among adolescents.  

Adolescence is a crucial developmental phase marked by physical, emotional, and social changes, alongside new challenges brought about by the digital age. These changes often contribute to heightened stress and anxiety, particularly in academic settings. School, with its rigorous demands and social pressures, serves as a significant stressor. This community service project aimed to enhance the knowledge and practice of mindfulness among 10th-grade students at SMAN 3 Bone, specifically focusing on helping them cope with psychological and social pressures. Conducted on August 22, 2025, the project involved 33 female students navigating the transitional period of adolescence. The intervention consisted of an initial survey to assess baseline knowledge, followed by educational sessions on mindfulness theory and practical exercises, as well as group discussions and reflections. The results demonstrated a significant increase in students' mindfulness knowledge and skills, with the final average score reaching 80. Evaluation was based on observations throughout the activity and post-intervention assessments. The outcomes suggest that mindfulness education is an effective strategy for improving students’ ability to manage stress and anxiety. Despite the positive impact, challenges related to the implementation of mindfulness education within the school setting were identified, including the need for more structured integration into the curriculum and continuous support. Nevertheless, the findings highlight the potential of mindfulness practices as a valuable tool for supporting students' psychological well-being during adolescence, providing them with coping mechanisms for the pressures they face. Future recommendations include expanding the program to a broader student population and offering more regular mindfulness sessions to foster long-term benefits

Adolescence is the stage where a child's puberty occurs before reaching adulthood, this is a process that every child must go through between the ages of 12 and 18. At this stage, children who are growing up generally experience several changes both physically, emotionally, and emotionally, becoming more sensitive to circumstances and desires or high curiosity about their environment. In conditions like this, the role of several parties and knowledge is very necessary to control and supervise without having to restrain so as to hinder the development of the teenager, these parties include parents, family, teachers, and the community. Based on this, it is felt necessary to carry out socialization and a direct approach to convey the importance of knowledge or science to fortify adolescent behavior so that a situation that exceeds the limit does not occur such as promiscuity, free sex and other negative influences that must be directly conveyed to the teenager. From this service, a report was made as a form of steps that have been taken as an effort to protect the generation with knowledge in the digital era for the future. In addition, in facing the increasingly rapidly developing digital era, teenagers are very vulnerable to the influence of social media and the flow of information that is so fast and unlimited. Easy access to various digital platforms can have positive impacts if used wisely, but it also has the potential to lead teens to negative content if not properly supported. Therefore, digital literacy is a crucial skill for teens to master, enabling them to select information, convey critical messages, and use technology responsibly.

Drug abuse among adolescents is a serious problem that requires comprehensive and sustainable prevention efforts. Adolescence is a developmental phase characterized by the search for identity, emotional instability, and high levels of influence from the social environment, including peers. In this context, family education plays a central role as the first line of defense in protecting adolescents from the negative influence of drugs. Through open communication, wise supervision, and consistent love and emotional support, parents can create a safe and supportive environment for their children's mental development. Effective family education includes strengthening moral, religious, and social values, aiming to shape adolescents' character and resilience to environmental pressures. In certain situations, family education also needs to be supported by a scientific approach, one of which is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a psychological approach that focuses on improving negative thought patterns and behaviors. In the context of discussing drugs, CBT can help adolescents identify the emotional and social triggers that lead them to try illicit substances and equip them with strategies to cope healthily. The integration of family education and CBT therapy creates a comprehensive approach—from the home to professional support—to strengthen adolescents' mental resilience. This collaboration not only reduces the risk of addiction but also encourages adolescents to become more self-aware, emotionally healthy, and productive individuals. Therefore, synergy between families, schools, and mental health professionals is crucial in creating a drug-free generation of young people ready to face the challenges of modern life. Therefore, the active involvement of all parties, including educational institutions and the community, is essential to creating an environment that supports early drug prevention.

Breast carcinoma, commonly known as breast cancer, is a type of malignancy that occurs in the milk-producing ducts and sacs of the breast. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in Indonesia, after lung cancer. One of the early steps in detecting breast cancer is through breast self-examination (BSE). Although BSE can help detect lumps or abnormalities in the breast, many adolescent girls are unaware of how to perform this examination or its importance. One reason for this is the lack of education regarding the correct method and the significance of performing BSE regularly. Therefore, an effective educational approach is needed, such as peer education, where peers provide information to their fellow students about the importance of self-breast examination. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of a peer education program on improving adolescent girls' knowledge of BSE. This research uses a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study consisted of female students from grades X and XII at SMK Nurul Islami Semarang, with a sample of 35 students selected through simple random sampling. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire that included questions about the students' knowledge of self-breast examination. The results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, which showed an Asymp Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000, which is smaller than 0.05. This indicates that the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, meaning there is a significant effect of the peer education program on increasing adolescent girls' knowledge of BSE. The findings of this study suggest that peer education is an effective method for raising awareness among adolescent girls about the importance of early breast cancer detection, thus encouraging them to perform self-breast examinations more regularly.

Bullying is a persistent social issue frequently found in school settings and remains a concern in many countries. This study was initiated based on observations at SMPN 17 Pekanbaru, where numerous students were found to have experienced bullying. The purpose of this community service program was to introduce and promote a digital reporting platform for junior high school students, designed to be safe, interactive, and evidence-based, thereby enabling victims or witnesses to report incidents more easily. The methods applied included socialization, practical demonstration, and evaluation, involving 40 students as participants in the program. The intervention introduced the “BeSafe” website, which aims to provide a secure and user-friendly channel for reporting bullying anonymously and independently. The findings indicate that the website achieved a usability score of 82.2%, categorizing it as highly feasible and appropriate for use among adolescents. Furthermore, BeSafe was able to offer comfort, security, and accessibility for students in addressing bullying cases. An evaluation carried out one month after the program revealed that 20 bullying complaints had been successfully submitted through the platform, showing its effectiveness in encouraging students to speak up and utilize digital solutions without fear of exposure. In conclusion, the BeSafe platform is proven to be suitable as a medium for reporting bullying cases and holds significant potential to support preventive measures in schools. Beyond serving as a reporting tool, it can also act as an educational and protective medium that fosters a safer, more inclusive, and supportive school environment, ultimately contributing to the broader efforts of reducing bullying and enhancing students’ psychological well-being.

This study aims to determine the effect of paternal attachment on emotional regulation in late adolescents in Padang City. Paternal attachment is seen as a crucial factor in developing children's emotional regulation skills, particularly during late adolescence, which is the transitional phase toward adulthood. Late adolescence is a crucial period in an individual's psychological development, where the ability to manage and express emotions appropriately determines their mental and social well-being. A strong emotional attachment to a father is believed to provide a foundation of emotional security that helps adolescents regulate their emotional responses to various life pressures and challenges. This study used a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique and involved 272 late adolescent respondents in Padang City as a sample. Data were collected through a questionnaire designed to measure the level of paternal attachment and adolescents' emotional regulation skills. Data collection was carried out with attention to the validity and reliability of the instrument so that the research results can be scientifically accounted for. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics to identify the relationship and influence between paternal attachment variables and emotional regulation. The results showed that the level of father attachment in late adolescents was in the moderate category at 53.3%, while their level of emotional regulation was in the high category at 42.3%. These findings indicate that although father attachment did not reach the high category for most, adolescents' emotional regulation abilities were relatively good. Further statistical analysis revealed that there was an influence of father attachment on emotional regulation in late adolescents, but this influence was very weak. This indicates that although father attachment contributes, there are many other factors that play a role in shaping adolescents' emotional regulation abilities, such as attachment to the mother, peer support, education, and individual experiences.

Drug abuse among adolescents is a serious problem that requires a comprehensive prevention strategy. One key element in this effort is family education, which plays a frontline role in protecting adolescents from the negative influence of drugs. Through consistent education, supervision, and emotional support, families can build a foundation for positive behavior and mental resilience in adolescents. Effective family education includes open communication between parents and children, teaching moral and religious values, and creating a safe, harmonious, and warm home environment. Healthy communication allows adolescents to feel comfortable discussing problems or pressures they face, thereby minimizing the risk of falling into drug abuse. In addition to the role of the family, psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have proven effective in strengthening adolescents' resilience to social pressures and the temptation of drugs. CBT focuses on helping individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns and risky behaviors that trigger abuse. With CBT techniques, adolescents can learn stress management skills, improve decision-making skills, and develop healthier, adaptive behaviors. The integration of family education and CBT therapy results in a more holistic prevention approach. Families provide a foundation of morals, values, and emotional support, while CBT strengthens adolescents' psychological abilities to face life's challenges. This synergy can increase resilience, reduce vulnerability to negative influences, and equip adolescents with effective strategies for resisting drugs. By optimizing the role of the family and combining it with psychological interventions, it is hoped that a healthy, productive young generation will emerge, free from the threat of drugs, enabling them to contribute positively to society and the future of the nation.

Ridan Permai Village, within the Bangkinang City Community Health Center (Puskesmas) jurisdiction in Kampar Regency, faces a serious problem related to adolescents' lack of access to health information and services, particularly regarding reproductive health. Survey results revealed that adolescents rarely receive regular health education or checkups, even though they are a vulnerable group to various health problems and behavioral disorders due to their identity-searching phase. The lack of reproductive health education in schools and the community also exacerbates this situation, leading adolescents to tend to obtain information from invalid or incorrect sources. Through the Community Service (PKM) program, a team of lecturers and students conducted a series of activities at SMPN 1 Padang to increase adolescents' knowledge and awareness of reproductive health. Three main approaches were used: direct education, outreach through interactive discussions, and distribution of leaflets as a continuous information medium. In addition, a question-and-answer session provided a space for students to openly share their questions and experiences without embarrassment. This approach was designed to create a participatory, educational atmosphere. These activities aimed not only to increase adolescents' knowledge but also to empower them to prevent the risk of health problems and behavioral disorders. The expected outcome of this activity is increased understanding of reproductive health among adolescents, as well as the formation of collective awareness for maintaining health and positive behaviors among adolescents. Sustainability of the program is also being pursued by involving teachers and school officials as partners in health education. This activity is also expected to serve as an educational model that can be replicated in other schools in Kampar Regency.

Depression in adolescents is a significant mental health issue in Indonesia, with its prevalence increasing every year. Adolescence is a transitional period marked by complex physical, social, and psychological changes. During this phase, adolescents often face emotional instability, academic pressure, social demands, and confusion in establishing self-identity. These factors can trigger prolonged stress and increase the risk of depression. Appropriate prevention and intervention efforts are crucial to address this issue. One approach that has proven effective is art-based group therapy. Art therapy provides a space for adolescents to express their thoughts and feelings creatively through visual media, which can help them understand themselves, manage their emotions, and build social skills. This study used the Systematic Literature Review method to identify, analyze, and synthesize the results of studies related to the effectiveness of art therapy on adolescent mental health. Data sources were obtained from various national and international journals relevant to the keywords "Art Therapy", "adolescent depression", and "mental health". The results of the literature review indicate that art therapy consistently has positive impacts, including reducing depressive symptoms, increasing self-confidence, strengthening interpersonal skills, and developing emotional intelligence. The creative process in this therapy encourages adolescents to be more open, able to process emotional experiences, and find positive ways to deal with problems. Based on these findings, Art Therapy is recommended for ongoing implementation in schools and communities as part of mental health programs. This intervention serves not only as a means of recovery but also as a preventative measure in building adolescents' psychological resilience, enabling them to grow and develop optimally amidst the challenges of modern life.

In Indonesia, there are approximately 22.97 million people, or approximately 8.5 percent of the population, with the largest proportion being in the elderly group. One form of disability is physical disability, a condition in which limbs are imperfect due to defects that cause damage to bones, muscles, and joints, so that body functions cannot run normally. This condition often impacts not only the physical aspect, but also the psychological health of the sufferer. One of the main challenges faced by people with physical disabilities is maintaining resilience, namely the individual's ability to overcome depression, anxiety, pressure, and stress in living daily life. This study uses a literature review method to examine the results of previous studies relevant to the topic of resilience in people with physical disabilities. The data collection process was carried out through literature searches on the internet using sources from Google Scholar and Google Books. The criteria for selected literature include research that focuses on psychological interventions, especially reality therapy, and its effect on increasing resilience. Reality therapy is a counseling approach that emphasizes personal responsibility, awareness of choices, and the development of skills to face life's challenges effectively. The study results indicate that reality therapy has been shown to have a positive effect on increasing resilience in individuals with physical disabilities. Through a structured counseling process, this therapy helps individuals recognize their potential, develop positive attitudes, and develop adaptive coping strategies. Furthermore, reality therapy can increase motivation, self-confidence, and the ability to make constructive decisions when faced with physical limitations and social pressures. These findings indicate that the application of reality therapy can be an effective approach to supporting the psychological well-being of individuals with physical disabilities, while also contributing to more holistic rehabilitation efforts in Indonesia.
