Gender-based and age-based violence targeting women and children continues to pose a serious challenge to human rights protection in Indonesia. As the principal duty bearer, the state bears the obligation to respect, protect, and fulfill victims' rights through effective protection mechanisms, one of which is the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children (UPTD PPA). This research analyzes the contribution of UPTD PPA Bandung City in fulfilling the human rights of victims of violence against women and children and maps the obstacles encountered in operational service delivery. The study utilizes a juridical-empirical method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Primary data were gathered through in-depth interviews with UPTD PPA Bandung City representatives in November 2025, whereas secondary data were derived from the examination of legal regulations and relevant scholarly literature. Research findings reveal that UPTD PPA Bandung City managed 382 cases in 2025 by providing complaint mechanisms, assessment procedures, legal and psychological support, counseling services, and shelter facilities. These services demonstrate normative compliance with national legislation and human rights principles, particularly concerning protection, rehabilitation, and access to justice. Nevertheless, service delivery encounters several challenges, including insufficient human resources and facilities, underreporting by victims, and suboptimal cross-institutional coordination. Consequently, strengthening institutional capacity, ensuring adequate infrastructure, developing integrated standard operating procedures, and establishing regional regulatory frameworks are essential to guarantee effective and sustained fulfillment of victims' rights.

The postpartum period is a critical transitional phase during which women are vulnerable to psychological disturbances, particularly postpartum depression. Psychological distress may undermine maternal confidence, including the perceived ability to breastfeed effectively. This study aimed to examine the relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy and postpartum depression among postpartum mothers. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed involving 45 respondents selected through total sampling. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), while breastfeeding self-efficacy was measured using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSE-SF). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s Rank correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. The results demonstrated a statistically significant and strong negative correlation between breastfeeding self-efficacy and postpartum depression (r = –0.616; p < 0.05). Mothers with higher depressive symptoms tended to report lower levels of breastfeeding self-efficacy. These findings highlight the importance of integrating mental health screening and breastfeeding support into postpartum care to strengthen maternal confidence and improve breastfeeding outcomes.  

Gastritis is a common gastrointestinal disorder that is influenced by both behavioral and psychological factors, including dietary patterns and stress. This study aimed to examine the association between dietary patterns and stress levels among patients with gastritis at a primary healthcare center in West Halmahera Regency. A quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in November 2025. A total of 60 gastritis patients were recruited using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaires to assess dietary patterns and stress levels. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive analysis was used to summarize respondents’ characteristics, while the Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was applied to analyze the association between variables. The results showed that most respondents had unhealthy dietary patterns and experienced high stress levels. Dietary pattern was significantly associated with stress level (p = 0.038), whereas demographic characteristics were not significantly related to stress level. Patients with unhealthy dietary patterns were more likely to experience high stress. In conclusion, dietary pattern is significantly associated with stress levels among gastritis patients. These findings highlight the importance of promoting healthy eating behaviors as part of stress management strategies in primary health care settings.

Background: Comprehensive midwifery care is essential for early detection of complications and reducing maternal and infant mortality rates. In Sleman Regency, despite high access to health services, continuous monitoring remains crucial for ensuring maternal and fetal safety.

Implications: Continuous assistance improves the mother's physical and psychological readiness and ensures a healthy neonatal transition.

The spread of Islam in Java represents a crucial phase in the historical development of Islam in Indonesia, which occurred peacefully and gradually. This study employs a qualitative approach through literature review, aiming to analyze this dynamic through a socio cultural psychological lens. It explores how Islamic values were accepted, adapted, and internalized by the Javanese society, which already possessed a strong social and cultural system.The research is designed to evaluate the interaction between individuals and groups within the socio cultural context, and to examine how social and cultural developments influenced the community’s openness to Islamic teachings. Key figures in the spread of Islam in Java, such as the Wali Songo and scholars from the Middle East, applied intelligent and contextualized da'wah (Islamic propagation) strategies by integrating Islamic values into local cultural elements such as art, language, and traditions.The findings reveal that the success of Islamization in Java was greatly influenced by Islam’s ability to harmoniously acculturate with local culture, as well as through psychological mechanisms such as social identification, collective acceptance, and reinterpretation of religious values. Therefore, the socio cultural psychological approach provides significant insight into understanding the unique and contextual characteristics of Islam’s spread in Java.

This study seeks to investigate the role of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and financial technology (fintech) in influencing Generation Z's investment decisions through a literature review approach. The rapid advancement of digital technology and the growing use of social media have transformed the financial behavior of young people, such that investment decisions are no longer solely based on rationality but are also shaped by psychological factors. The method used in this study is a literature review, which involves analyzing scientific articles indexed at both national and international levels published between 2021 and 2025. The findings indicate that FOMO can enhance investment participation, yet it also risks prompting impulsive and less rational decision-making. On the other hand, fintech contributes by simplifying access to financial services, improving transaction efficiency, and expanding financial inclusion. Nevertheless, real-time features on fintech platforms may amplify users' emotional responses, thereby magnifying the impact of FOMO. Accordingly, this research underscores the importance of financial literacy and prudent technology use to foster more rational investment decisions among Generation Z.

Premeditated murder is a severe crime characterized by prior planning (voorbedachte raad), making the proof of premeditation crucial in criminal justice. This element is linked to the mental state of the perpetrator, which cannot be directly proven but must be inferred from objective facts and events. Legal proof often focuses on the elements of Article 340 of the Criminal Code, overlooking criminological aspects such as motives, background, and the process of intent formation. This study analyzes how premeditation is proven in murder cases from a criminological perspective and evaluates the relevance of criminological approaches in judicial deliberations. Using a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, supported by philosophical, sociological, and criminological studies, the research finds that proving premeditation requires more than legal indicators like time delay, tool preparation, and structured actions. It also involves understanding the perpetrator's psychological, social, and situational factors. A criminological perspective helps explain the formation of criminal intent, offering a more comprehensive view of premeditation. Integrating criminology into judicial decisions can enhance evidence quality, leading to more substantive and just outcomes.

The phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) has emerged as a significant psychosocial factor influencing the consumption behavior of Generation Z in the social media era. This study aims to explore how FoMO shapes the purchasing decisions of Generation Z using a qualitative approach, focusing on subjective experiences, digital social pressures, and interactions with viral content. A descriptive-interpretative qualitative method was employed, collecting data through in-depth interviews and observations of social media activity among Generation Z respondents actively engaged in digital platforms. Thematic analysis was applied to identify patterns of FoMO experiences and their impact on purchasing decisions. Findings reveal that FoMO arises from the need for social connection, social comparison with peers and influencers, and intensive exposure to digital trends. This phenomenon drives consumptive behaviors, particularly impulsive purchases, influenced by social validation and emotional impulses. Generation Z’s purchasing decisions are contextual, multidimensional, and not entirely rational, yet meaningful within the framework of digital social identity. The study underscores the necessity of a qualitative approach to comprehensively understand the psychological, social, and cultural complexities of FoMO and consumer behavior. The results provide a conceptual foundation for ethical and relevant marketing strategies targeting young consumers in the digital era.  

The hyper-connected work era has fundamentally blurred the temporal and psychological boundaries between professional and personal spheres, triggering a productivity paradox phenomenon where increased digital connectivity is inversely proportional to long-term cognitive efficiency. Consequently, this research aims to explore deeply and comprehensively the critical roles of cognitive resilience and digital wellbeing strategies as vital preventive mechanisms against the rising risk of burnout resulting from cumulative cognitive fatigue. Employing a qualitative approach with a rigorous literature review design, this study synthesizes extensive secondary literature retrieved from accredited academic databases and global policy reports within the last five years to analyze current trends and theoretical frameworks. The in-depth analysis reveals that cognitive resilience, significantly bolstered by metacognitive digital literacy, functions as an adaptive shield against the mounting pressures of information overload and attention fragmentation. Furthermore, the findings emphatically confirm that sustainable productivity is not achieved through borderless connectivity, but rather necessitates disciplined cognitive energy management and the strict implementation of "right to disconnect" protocols. Concluding the study, it is strongly recommended that organizations integrate comprehensive digital wellbeing policies into their work culture architecture to safeguard long-term employee performance and ensure organizational sustainability amidst the challenges of the attention economy.  

The implementation of the Health Workload Analysis (ABK Kes) method reveals both strengths and weaknesses, particularly regarding the suboptimal execution of core tasks such as filing and distributing medical records. This study aims to compare the workload of health human resources (SDMK) between primary and advanced healthcare facilities—specifically Banyudono 1 Public Health Center and Indriati Boyolali Hospital—both of which have implemented hybrid medical record systems. Using primary data collected through interviews and observations and analyzed via the ABK Kes method, the results indicate a need for 10 additional staff members in the Casemix Unit at Indriati Boyolali Hospital and 2 additional medical record practitioners at Banyudono 1 Public Health Center. The Available Working Time (WKT) at the Public Health Center was set at 75,000 based on the Minister of PAN-RB Regulation No. 1 of 2020, whereas the Hospital used real-time calculations. While the Public Health Center aligns its policies with Ministry of Health Regulation No. 19 of 2020, the Hospital adjusts its staffing needs based on the ABK Kes results. Given that this method focuses primarily on quantity, future research and development (R&D) should integrate Lean Thinking for process analysis, ABK Kes for capacity, Queueing Theory for dynamic analysis, and NASA-TLX for psychological evaluation to provide a more holistic assessment of staffing needs.

The third trimester of pregnancy is a challenging period since pregnant women experience various physical and psychological changes that can affect their readiness for childbirth. High anxiety levels and the presence of pregnancy complications are known to reduce maternal preparedness for labor. This study aims to determine the relationship between anxiety levels and pregnancy complications with the readiness of third trimester pregnant women in facing childbirth in the working area of Benteng Community Health Center, Selayar Islands Regency. This research used a quantitative approach with a correlational design and a cross-sectional method. The population consisted of all third trimester pregnant women, with a total sample of 86 respondents selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments included an anxiety questionnaire using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), a pregnancy complication checklist, and a childbirth readiness questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test and multiple logistic regression at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the study showed no significant relationship between anxiety and readiness for childbirth (p < 0.550) or between pregnancy complications and readiness for childbirth (p < 0.690). Therefore, it can be concluded that anxiety and pregnancy complications are not significantly related to the readiness of pregnant women in the third trimester for childbirth. This indicates that maternal readiness is influenced by factors other than the variables studied, such as knowledge, family support, and previous childbirth experiences.

Digital transformation in the management of state property is a necessary step towards achieving transparent and accountable governance. The Minstry of Finance, through the Directorate General of State Assets, has developed the State Asset Management Information System Version 2 application as a means of digital based management, but its implementation still faces challenges related to interest in its use by work unit operators. This study aims to evaluate the impact of intentions, attitudes, and subjective norms on interest in using the SIMAN V2 application at the Surabaya State Assets and Auction Service Office using the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) approach. Using a quantitative design through a survey, this study was conducted at the Surabaya KPKNL with subjects being SIMAN V2 application operators in work units in the working area. Data colection techniques used a questionnaire with a Likert scale. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) using SmartPLS software. The results of the study indicate that intention, attitude, and subjective norms have a positive and significant effect on interest in using the SIMAN V2 application. This study shows that psychological and social factors play an important role in supporting technology adoption in the public sector. The conclusion emphasizes that increased interest in use can be achieved by strengthening individual intentions, forming positive attitudes, and providing workplace support. Increased socialization, ongoing technical training, and recommendations for further research institutional supportfrom agencies to optimize the use of the SIMAN V2 application.

Violence against children remains a serious violation of human rights that continues to occur in various social environments, including religious-based educational institutions such as Islamic boarding schools, where children are in a highly vulnerable position both physically and psychologically. One case that drew public attention occurred at the Pesona Al-Qur’an Islamic Boarding School in Pesawaran Regency, which was resolved through a restorative justice approach without proceeding to court. This study aims to examine the mechanism of law enforcement against perpetrators of child abuse at the institution and to analyze the factors hindering the implementation of restorative justice in such cases. Using a normative-empirical research method, this study analyzes applicable laws and regulations supported by field data obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that law enforcement was carried out through an investigation by the Pesawaran Resort Police, followed by the termination of prosecution by the Pesawaran District Prosecutor’s Office based on Regulation of the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia Number 15 of 2020 concerning the Termination of Prosecution Based on Restorative Justice. Case resolution was conducted through mediation involving the perpetrator, the victim, and their families, facilitated by law enforcement officers, resulting in an agreement in the form of an apology and compensation to the victim. However, the implementation of restorative justice still faces several obstacles, including limited public understanding, concerns about the loss of deterrent effects, power imbalances between victims and perpetrators, potential pressure on victims to accept reconciliation, and weak supervision of post-mediation agreements; therefore, strengthening oversight, improving the understanding of law enforcement officers and the community, and optimizing the role of child protection institutions are essential to ensure that restorative justice truly prioritizes the best interests of the child and provides substantive justice.

The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of perceived organizational support to teachers’ psychological capital. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design to analyze the relationship and the magnitude of contribution between the variables under investigation. The participants of this study were teachers working in one district in West Sumatra Province, which was selected to represent the organizational conditions of educational institutions in the region. The sampling technique used was area sampling, refined with proportional sampling, resulting in a total sample of 302 teachers from various educational units. Data were collected using the Psychological Capital Questionnaire to measure teachers’ psychological capital and the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support to assess teachers’ perceptions of organizational support. The collected data were analyzed using statistical analysis techniques to determine the contribution of the independent variable to the dependent variable. The results of the data analysis indicated that perceived organizational support contributed 23.1% (R² = 0.231) to teachers’ psychological capital. These findings suggest that organizational support plays a significant role in enhancing teachers’ positive psychological conditions in carrying out their professional duties.

College represents a critical transitional period requiring high adaptation, where students often face escalating academic demands triggering psychological pressure. This study aims to deeply analyze the reciprocal relationship between sleep patterns and academic stress levels, and identify their subsequent impacts on cognitive function (concentration) and students' physical health. This study employs a qualitative method with a Systematic Literature Review approach. Data were collected through comprehensive searches of accredited national and reputable international scientific articles published within the last five years (2020–2025). Literature selection was conducted rigorously using specific keywords to screen empirical studies relevant to stress, sleep, and student health variables. Data synthesis reveals a strong and consistent negative correlation. High levels of academic stress whether stemming from the adaptation phase of new students (initiation), thesis preparation workload, or role conflicts in working students are significantly associated with decreased sleep quality. Physiologically, stress triggers increased cortisol levels causing insomnia, shortened sleep duration, and prolonged sleep latency. Subsequent impacts are proven to drastically reduce learning concentration and trigger physical health disorders, including an increased risk of primary dysmenorrhea in female students. This study concludes that academic stress and sleep disturbances form a destructive cycle that exacerbates one another. Therefore, holistic institutional interventions in the form of sleep hygiene education and stress management training are needed to break this chain for the sake of student well-being and academic performance.

The prevalence of diabetic ulcers in Indonesia reaches 12-15% of all sufferers. This condition has an impact on the patient's psychological condition in the form of anxiety due to wounds that are difficult to heal, changes in body image, and concerns about the possibility of amputation. One of the nonpharmacological interventions that can help overcome anxiety is the slow deep breathing technique. The purpose of writing this scientific paper is to carry out Nursing Care for Mrs. M with Diagnosis of Diabetic Ulcers using the application of slow deep breathing intervention in reducing anxiety at Az-Zahra Hospital. The writing method is a nursing care process that includes the stages of study, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The subject of care was Mrs. M, a patient with diabetic ulcers in the inpatient room of Az-Zahra Hospital. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, documentation studies, and physical examinations, and using a medical-surgical nursing care assessment format. The ethical principles applied use the principles of Nursing Ethics. The results of nursing care showed that after three days of slow deep breathing intervention, patients reported feeling calmer, sleeping better, and anxiety levels decreased from moderate to mild based on observation results and anxiety scales used. This suggests that slow deep breathing interventions are effective in helping to reduce anxiety in patients with diabetic ulcers. It is hoped that patients and families can continue these breathing exercises independently as part of stress management efforts and quality of life improvement.  

Parents play a crucial role in introducing and shaping children’s gender identity from an early age. Gender identity is an essential aspect of psychological development that is closely related to the formation of behavior patterns, social attitudes, and personality development in later life. Within the family context, both fathers and mothers have complementary psychological roles in supporting children’s gender development. Mothers are generally more involved in daily caregiving and the fulfillment of children’s physical and emotional needs, while fathers tend to play a more prominent role in social interaction, play activities, and reinforcing discipline as well as adherence to prevailing cultural norms. Parenting practices, whether consciously or unconsciously applied, significantly influence how children understand gender roles, express themselves, and construct their personal identities. Therefore, appropriate, balanced, and developmentally sensitive gender identity introduction is essential to prevent role confusion and potential psychological difficulties in the future. This article aims to examine the role of parents in shaping children’s gender identity from a psychological perspective, emphasizing the importance of responsive, educative parenting that aligns with children’s developmental stages and cultural values.

Sexual harassment is a criminal act carried out by two people by force with the intention of satisfying lust or an act of revenge. Sexual harassment in the church community is an act that violates Christian teachings where it is carried out outside the basis of marriage. Sexual harassment is carried out by force between men and women outside the husband and wife couple, namely between parents and children or between father and child. The Church has an important role in this. The Church seeks to heal, support, treat, and even accompany victims of sexual abuse through pastoral actions. Sexuality is no longer something taboo to talk about, therefore it is important for the church, government, and even families to discuss sexuality from an early age as an effort to prevent criminal acts or sexual violence. Society must have a sense of empathy and sympathy for victims of sexual violence, as an effort to heal and accept the reality experienced by victims. The church must really act in a real way in spiritual and psychological and social healing of victims.

Expressive feelings therapy is a form of mental health nursing modality therapy that aims to help individuals express their thoughts and emotions openly without violating the rights of others. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of cognitive therapy focused on “expressing feelings” in improving emotional expression abilities among female patients in the recovery phase at the Anggrek Ward of the Aceh Government Mental Hospital. This descriptive qualitative study was conducted through group therapy activities with structured stages, using media such as emotion expression picture cards and a spin-the-bottle game as interaction stimuli. The population consisted of 18 patient in the Anggrek ward, with a sample of 12 patients who were cooperative, psychologically stable, able to communicate bidirectionally, and willing to participate in group therapy. The results showed that participants experienced an improvement in their ability to express emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, and anxiety more openly, accompanied by increased social interaction and reduced emotional tension. The therapy also encouraged greater self-confidence and a sense of emotional relief. These findings support that expressive feelings therapy can be incorporated as part of routine nursing interventions for patients who experience difficulties in emotional regulation. It is recommended that further research be conducted over a longer duration and with a broader scope to strengthen the validity of the findings.

This study aims to analyze the ego defense functions used by the character Cinderella in facing oppression perpetrated by her stepmother and stepsisters in the Walt Disney film Cinderella (1950). This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, namely an approach that focuses on depicting phenomena in depth and systematically. Research data were obtained through analysis of dialogue, storyline, and the behavior of the main character relevant to the focus of the study. The analysis was conducted with reference to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, particularly the concept of ego defense mechanisms as a form of individual response to psychological stress. The results of the study indicate that the character Cinderella uses five types of ego defense mechanisms in facing conflict and emotional stress, namely repression, denial, displacement, rationalization, and reaction formation. These ego defense mechanisms play an important role in helping Cinderella maintain emotional stability, manage psychological suffering, and maintain a positive attitude amidst the oppressive situation she experiences.
