Academic procrastination is the behavior of deliberately delaying the completion of tasks even though individuals are aware of the negative consequences for their learning outcomes. This phenomenon is commonly found among students at various educational levels, ranging from secondary school to higher education, and often results in decreased academic achievement, lower quality of completed assignments, and increased levels of academic stress among students. This condition indicates that academic procrastination has become an important issue that requires attention within the educational process. This study aims to examine self-regulation as an indicator for the early detection of academic procrastination in the context of guidance and counseling services in educational settings. The method used in this study is a literature review by analyzing various scientific journal articles relevant to the research topic. The results of the review show a consistent negative relationship between self-regulation and academic procrastination. Students who possess a high level of self-regulation tend to be more capable of managing their time, emotions, and learning motivation effectively, enabling them to be more disciplined in completing academic tasks. Conversely, low levels of self-regulation contribute to an increased tendency to delay academic tasks. These findings confirm that self-regulation can serve as a strategic indicator for early detection as well as a target for preventive interventions through guidance and counseling services in schools.

This study examines inclusive education for children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD), who often experience significant challenges in social interaction and academic adaptation. The primary objective is to evaluate existing educational approaches and strategies implemented in Indonesia, while also identifying gaps in current research and practice. This study employs a literature review method, analyzing 20 relevant scientific articles to synthesize key findings and trends. The results indicate that structured approaches such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) have proven effective in improving students’ behavioral outcomes, emotional regulation, and academic performance. These approaches emphasize proactive strategies, skill development, and supportive learning environments. However, several persistent challenges hinder optimal implementation, including limited teacher knowledge and training in inclusive practices, insufficient institutional support, and a lack of access to professional psychological services. Additionally, inconsistencies in policy implementation across regions contribute to unequal educational experiences for children with EBD. Based on these findings, the study highlights the importance of strengthening teacher capacity through continuous professional development and increasing access to multidisciplinary support systems. Furthermore, effective collaboration among teachers, parents, schools, and the wider community is essential to foster inclusive, adaptive, and responsive educational environments that can meet the diverse needs of all learners.

Significant changes have occurred in the land administration sector with the introduction of digital land certificates as part of an ongoing digital transformation in public services. However, public understanding of the concept, procedures, and benefits of digital certificates is still relatively limited, leading to uncertainty and hesitation in their adoption. This community service program aims to increase public awareness and knowledge about digital land certificates through interactive education and structured socialization activities. The program includes seminars, guided discussions, and question-and-answer sessions designed to provide clear and practical explanations about how digital certificates function within the land registration system. As a result of these activities, community members become more informed about the advantages of digital certificates, such as greater efficiency, enhanced data security, improved transparency, and reduced risks of document damage or loss. This educational initiative is expected to strengthen public trust, encourage active participation, and support the more effective and sustainable implementation of digital land certificate services in the future.

Children with special needs require specialized educational services that accommodate their diverse learning characteristics, and digital-based media offers flexible and adaptive learning opportunities tailored to individual abilities. The digital learning media “Voca Poly” was developed to provide education and practical skills training for blind and physically disabled children, particularly in strengthening knowledge and cooking skills to support independent living. This community service program was implemented through three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The preparation stage involved needs assessment, media design, and coordination with partner institutions. The implementation stage included interactive learning sessions using the Voca Poly educational game, focusing on food security concepts through English vocabulary from planting to food processing. The evaluation stage assessed participants’ understanding, engagement, and skill improvement. The results showed increased knowledge of cooking concepts and improved practical skills among participants. Moreover, the game-based approach successfully fostered enthusiasm, motivation, and active participation among visually impaired and physically disabled children.

This study examines the experience of access to health services and resilience strategies in adolescents with unplanned pregnancies in Makassar, Indonesia. Access to quality reproductive health services is important for adolescents' well-being, but they often face systemic barriers that affect access to health services and outcomes. The study used an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach on seventeen adolescent girls aged 15–19 years who had an unplanned pregnancy between June–November 2023. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, recorded, verbatim transcribed, and analyzed by a six-stage science process. Two main themes were found: Navigating Closed Doors: Systematic Barriers to Care and Finding Light in Darkness: Resilience and Agency. Participants faced a variety of layered barriers, including a lack of information about health services and rights, geographical and economic constraints, age-based discrimination, parental notification obligations, fear of legal consequences especially related to abortion, family control over decisions, and limitations in adolescent-friendly services. Nonetheless, adolescents show resilience through seeking strategic help, resistance to pressure, spiritual and religious coping, peer support, gradual acceptance of maternal identity, educational sustainability, and positive meaningfulness of difficult experiences. These findings point to the need for a transformation of the health system that not only improves attitudes of health workers, but also addresses structural barriers such as confidentiality, age discrimination, and service availability, while strengthening agency and adolescent coping strategies.

Evaluation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning plays a strategic role in assessing the achievement of educational goals while supporting the character development of students. The evaluation process not only considers cognitive aspects but also includes affective and psychomotor aspects, such as the appreciation of religious values, noble morals, and the ability to perform religious services. This study aims to describe the relationship between the scope of PAI evaluation and the process of character development of students. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with the research location at SDN Ngebel, Kasihan, Bantul. The research subjects included PAI teachers, students in grades I, V, and VI, and several parents. Data were collected through interviews with teachers, students, and guardians, observations of learning activities and religious practices, and documentation, including records of grades and religious activity agendas. Using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, data analysis included the stages of presentation, reduction, and drawing conclusions. Triangulation methods and sources ensured the validity of the data. The results showed that the implementation of a comprehensive PAI evaluation, which included academic assessment, religious practices, and moral behavior, had a significant impact on the development of student character. This is especially true in terms of religiosity, discipline, and responsibility. Therefore, the broader and more integrated the scope of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) evaluation, the greater its contribution to the overall character formation of students.

This Community Service Activity (PKM) aims to strengthen interpersonal communication strategies in increasing donor trust in the Grandma Foundation as a social institution engaged in elderly services. The main problems identified include communication patterns that are not systematic, lack of personalization, and lack of transparency of information, so that it has an impact on the level of trust and loyalty of donors. Through a qualitative-educational-participatory approach, PKM activities are carried out through the delivery of effective communication materials, interpersonal communication simulations, the preparation of donor communication flow standards, and assistance in digital communication practices based on social media and instant messaging. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the attitude and communication skills of the management, the formation of donor communication operational standards, the improvement of digital communication skills, and the positive response from donors which was reflected in the increase in interaction and trust. These findings confirm that interpersonal communication based on empathy, transparency, and consistency plays an important role in building long-term relationships with donors. Thus, a structured interpersonal communication strategy can be an effective model for philanthropic institutions in managing donor relationships and maintaining the sustainability of social programs.

Personality development is a fundamental aspect in the formation of nursing students as prospective professional nurses, especially in services in the Emergency Unit (ER). The personality of nurses in the ER is reflected in the ability to think critically, effectively communicate, caring attitudes, and professional performance that supports the quality of service. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge of nursing students about personality development in the ER through educational video media. The method used is health education with a pre-test and post-test design involving 19 nursing students. The results of the activity showed an increase in the average score of student knowledge from 14.58 in the pre-test to 19.16 in the post-test. These findings indicate that educational video media is effective in increasing students' understanding of the role of critical thinking, communication, caring, and performance in the ER. In addition, this activity also contributes to strengthening student readiness to face the challenges of clinical practice in an emergency environment. Thus, the use of video media as an educational means can be an innovative strategy in supporting the personality development of nursing students, as well as strengthening the professional competencies needed in emergency health services.

The success of Guidance and Counseling services relies heavily on adherence to fundamental principles such as confidentiality and voluntariness, yet field implementation faces complex challenges regarding educational levels and modern developments. This study aims to analyze the implementation of fundamental guidance and counseling principles and their relevance to religious value integration and technology adaptation. The method used is qualitative with a library research design, analyzing 20 scientific journal articles published between 2020 and 2025. The results show that the implementation of principles is dynamic. At the elementary level, the expertise principle is hindered by classroom teachers doubling roles, while secondary levels face service management challenges. Current relevance is realized through adapting the principle of currentness with web-based technology and the principle of normativeness through Islamic approaches. This study implies the need for strengthening counselor digital competence and providing professional personnel at the elementary level to ensure service integrity.

This study examines the stigma and patterns of social support in adolescents with unplanned pregnancies in Makassar in the context of the Bugis-Makassar culture that upholds the values of siri' (honor and shame). Teen pregnancy is understood as an experience influenced by the confluence of traditional values, religious morality, and modern social demands. This study used an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach on 17 adolescent girls aged 15–19 years who experienced unplanned pregnancies in June–November 2023. Data were obtained through in-depth semi-structured interviews, recorded, verbatim transcribed, and analyzed using a six-stage science process with a focus on the experience of stigma and social support. Two main themes emerged: Living Under the Shadow of Siri': Multidimensional Stigma and Navigating Social Support in the Context of Shame. Participants experienced widespread stigma in a variety of contexts, including family (serial violations and family shame), society (moral judgments and gossip), health services (discrimination of health workers), and educational environments (bullying and exclusion). Stigma is also internalized in the form of guilt and negative identity, and is especially severe in adolescents with economic limitations. Efforts to seek support are often hampered by concerns about stigma, so adolescents engage in selective disclosure and rely more on peers. Grandma is often the most accepting source of family support. These findings underscore the need for multilevel interventions that reduce community stigma, strengthen friendly and confidential health services, and develop culturally sensitive peer support networks.

Background: Breastfeeding is a crucial practice that provides optimal nutrition and immunity for infants while supporting maternal health. However, inadequate knowledge and limited understanding about the importance of breastfeeding often lead to low motivation among pregnant women in preparing for breastfeeding. Providing structured education is expected improve pregnant women’s readiness and commitment to breastfeeding after childbirth. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of providing education about the importance of breastfeeding on the motivation of pregnant women in preparing to breastfeed at the Paguat Community Health Center UPTD. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental design with one-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 30 pregnant women were selected as the sample using purposive sampling techniques. Data on mothers’ motivation to prepare for breastfeeding were collected before and after the educational intervention using a structured motivation questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to assess differences in motivation levels before and after the intervention. Results: The results of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant effect of breastfeeding education on the motivation of pregnant women in preparing breastfeed. The findings demonstrate that educational interventions significantly increased maternal motivation following the provision of education. Conclusion: Providing education about the importance of breastfeeding has a significant positive effect on the motivation of pregnant women in preparing to breastfeed. Therefore, breastfeeding education should be strengthened and routinely implemented during antenatal care services to improve maternal readiness and support successful breastfeeding practices.

Guidance and Counseling (G&C) is an essential component of the education system that plays a significant role in supporting students’ optimal personal, social, academic, and career development. The development of Guidance and Counseling in Indonesia has progressed dynamically in response to changes in educational policies, societal demands, and students’ evolving needs. This article aims to examine the historical development of Guidance and Counseling services in Indonesia, from their initial implementation to their integration within the modern curriculum framework. The study employs a qualitative approach through a literature review, with data collected using documentation analysis of relevant books, policy documents, and academic publications. The findings indicate that Guidance and Counseling in Indonesia has experienced a significant paradigm shift, moving from a service model focused primarily on problem solving and remedial intervention toward a more comprehensive approach emphasizing development, prevention, and student empowerment. This transformation has strengthened the strategic role of Guidance and Counseling in supporting national education objectives, promoting student well-being, and fostering holistic development in line with contemporary educational goals.

Guidance and counseling constitute a crucial element in the educational structure of elementary schools, functioning to support students’ holistic development, including academic, social, emotional, and personal aspects. As students at this level are in the early stages of development, they require systematic guidance to actively adapt to the school educational context while optimizing the development of their potential to an optimal level. This study aims to examine the variety of guidance and counseling services in elementary schools and their role in addressing students’ problems through a literature review of relevant scientific sources, including national and international journals as well as reference books published after 2020. The results indicate that the implementation of guidance and counseling at the elementary school level encompasses various forms of services, such as orientation to the school environment, information services, placement and referral guidance, group guidance activities, individual and group counseling services, consultation, and mediation efforts. These services contribute to helping students overcome learning difficulties, behavioral problems, social adjustment issues, and personality development. However, their implementation still faces several challenges, including a shortage of professional personnel and teachers’ limited understanding of guidance and counseling. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen guidance and counseling programs in elementary schools in a well-planned and sustainable manner.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a promotive and preventive effort aimed at improving the level of public health. The Baduy indigenous community in Leuwi Damar, Kanekes Village, Lebak Regency, Banten Province has local wisdom and traditional lifestyles that influence daily health practices. However, limited access to information and health services is a challenge in implementing PHBS optimally. This article aims to describe the implementation of PHBS education in the Baduy Leuwi Damar community and its impact on community knowledge and attitudes. The method used is a descriptive approach with educational activities through counseling, discussion and simple demonstrations adapted to local culture. Educational material includes personal hygiene, clean water management, environmental sanitation, and healthy living behavior in daily life. The results of the activity showed an increase in public understanding regarding the importance of personal and environmental hygiene, as well as the emergence of a positive attitude towards implementing PHBS without eliminating the traditional values adhered to. PHBS education carried out using a simple cultural and communication approach is considered effective in increasing the health awareness of the Baduy community. Therefore, health education programs based on local wisdom need to continue to be developed as a strategy to improve the health of indigenous communities. .(Riset Kesehatan Dasar,2019).

Guidance and counseling is an essential service in the academic framework that aims to support the optimal development of students. The success of BK services does not only depend on the competence of guidance and counseling teachers, but also on the involvement and synergy of all school personnel. However, in practice, BK services are often understood as the individual responsibility of BK teachers, so that the roles of other school personnel have not been optimally integrated. This research seeks to delineate the duties and responsibilities of school personnel in guidance and counseling activities and to examine the patterns of collaboration that have been established in their implementation. This research utilizes a qualitative approach using a literature study method, with data sources in the form of accredited national journal articles and related scientific publications over the past five years. The data were evaluated by employing content analysis techniques to identify topics related to the roles of the principal, guidance counselors, homeroom teachers, subject teachers, and educational staff. Findings from this research indicate that the effectiveness of guidance and counseling services is greatly influenced by the clarity of the division of tasks, managerial support from the principal, and collaboration between school personnel. The findings also reveal a gap between the ideal concept of collaborative guidance and counseling services and their implementation in schools. The Scientific implications stress the vital role of strengthening coordination and integration of the roles of school personnel in developing more effective, systematic, and sustainable guidance and counseling services.

Children with disabilities live with one or more conditions, physical, cognitive, sensory, or social, that limit their daily activities. These conditions necessitate specialized care and attention tailored to their specific needs. This study aims to explore how parents come to terms with their child’s condition, the factors that influence this acceptance, and its overall impact on family well-being. The results suggest that parental acceptance is rarely a straightforward process. It involves a complex emotional journey, often moving through stages of denial, anger, bargaining, and depression before reaching a point of acceptance. The speed and depth of this process are heavily influenced by both internal and external factors. Internally, spiritual values, educational background, and effective coping strategies play a vital role. Externally, the presence of social support and access to healthcare services are crucial. When parents embrace their child’s condition with unconditional love and focus on their potential, it significantly enhances the child’s developmental outcomes. Conversely, a lack of acceptance can increase the burden of caregiving and hinder the child’s progress.
