Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are chronic health conditions that affect not only physical but also psychological well-being, including increased anxiety. Untreated anxiety can reduce quality of life and treatment adherence. Acupressure, as a form of complementary therapy, offers a safe and non-invasive approach to managing anxiety. This narrative review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure in reducing anxiety among patients with NCDs. Articles were searched using Google Scholar with keywords such as "acupressure", "anxiety", and various chronic diseases. Six studies with experimental and quasi-experimental designs were selected based on inclusion criteria, involving patients with cancer, chronic kidney disease, and osteoarthritis. The findings consistently demonstrated that acupressure reduced anxiety levels, whether performed by a therapist or self-administered, with commonly used points including ST36, LI4, and PC6. This review concludes that acupressure is an effective complementary therapy that can be incorporated into holistic care strategies for anxiety management in patients with NCDs.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo, characterized by brief episodes of vertigo due to otoconia displacement. Although most previous studies have focused on intrinsic factors such as age, gender, osteoporosis, and metabolic disorders, evidence regarding the role of environmental factors, particularly occupational noise exposure, is limited. Chronic noise has the potential to affect vestibular function through both sensory and vascular mechanisms. This study aims to narratively review the effect of occupational noise exposure on the risk of BPPV by integrating clinical, epidemiological, and experimental findings. The method used is a literature-based narrative review of the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases without year restrictions, using the keywords "BPPV", "occupational noise exposure", "vestibular dysfunction", "VEMP", and "otoconia displacement". The search results obtained 25 relevant articles linking BPPV to otolith, hormonal, vascular, lifestyle factors, and occupational noise exposure. The results indicate that chronic noise can cause sensory damage (otoconia and vestibular hair cells), vascular disorders (hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, and inner ear microvascular circulation disorders), and exacerbate lifestyle comorbidities (sedentary lifestyle, osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes). The discussion confirms that these multifactorial mechanisms explain the susceptibility of industrial workers to BPPV despite normal hearing function. The conclusion of this study is that workplace noise exposure has been shown to play a significant role as a risk factor for BPPV, therefore, prevention strategies, vestibular health monitoring, and healthy lifestyle interventions need to be optimized in occupational health programs.

Postoperative pain is a common physiological response following surgical procedures, and its suboptimal management can have physiological and psychological effects, including sleep disturbances, decreased functional capacity, increased anxiety, and deterioration in quality of life. This scoping review aims to describe the empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of music therapy in reducing the intensity of postoperative pain in surgical patients. A systematic search was conducted through four major databases (ScienceDirect, PubMed, Neliti, and Google Scholar) using Boolean operators and keywords such as ‘postoperative pain,’ ‘music therapy,’ and ‘pain scale.’ Inclusion criteria included articles published in the last decade, in English or Indonesian, and available in full text format. In accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines, this review analysed 10 articles. The synthesis of results showed that music therapy consistently reduced pain intensity, anxiety, and analgesic requirements through mechanisms such as increased endorphin secretion, decreased stress hormone levels, and activation of the gate control theory. Typically administered for 15–30 minutes, music therapy is a safe, cost-effective, and patient-acceptable non-pharmacological modality. This intervention is recommended as an adjunct component in perioperative pain management in nursing practice, although further standardised research is needed to improve consistency.

This study aims to conceptually examine the role of visual media in Arabic vocabulary learning and its relevance in the context of education in the digital era. Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental component in learning Arabic; however, in practice, vocabulary learning often encounters various challenges, such as the abstract nature of vocabulary, low student motivation, and the dominance of conventional teaching methods. This study employed a qualitative approach using library research. Data were obtained through a review of relevant scholarly sources, including books, journal articles, and previous research related to visual media and Arabic language learning. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using content analysis to examine the concepts, roles, and effectiveness of visual media in Arabic vocabulary instruction. The findings indicate that visual media, both conventional and digital, play a significant role in improving vocabulary comprehension, strengthening memory retention, and increasing students’ motivation and engagement in the learning process. Visual media also help transform abstract vocabulary into more concrete and contextual representations, making learning more meaningful and effective. Nevertheless, the implementation of visual media still faces several challenges, including limited facilities, teachers’ digital competence, and the suboptimal use of technology in learning activities. Therefore, it is necessary to develop innovative instructional strategies and enhance teachers’ competencies to ensure that visual media can be utilized effectively and sustainably in Arabic language learning.

This Study analyzes the fulfillment of dowry requirements as mutamawwal property according to KHI Articles 30-38 and assesses the suitability of crypto assets as dowry under the positive law regime of the Marriage Law, including its implications for the protection of wives’ rights and legal certainty in the digital era. The research employs a qualititative method with a normative juridical approach through literature study of primary sources (the Qur’an, hadith, KHI, Law No. 1 of 1974, Bappebti and OJK regulations, an MUI fatwas) and secondary sources comparising journals, theses, and dissertations on crypto dowry and maqasid syariah, analyzed descriptively-analitycally and comparatively bertween Islamic law and positive law. The findings that demonstrate that normatively, crypto assets can be classified as valuable property within the KHI framework provided they meet the following criteria: possessing economic value, having clear specifications regarding type and amount, being transferable through legal mechanisms (such as gifts or wallet transfers), and being mutually agreed upon by boh parties. Consequently, they are valid as dowry with the value determined at the time of the marriage contract to minimize the impact or price volatility. However, it still poses potential value disputes, necessitating the strengthening of administrative guidelines at the KUA (office of Religious Affairs) and the enhancement of digital forensic capacty in Religious Courts. The study recommends further harmonization among the KHI, crypto asset regulations, and religious fatwas through the development of technical guidelines for crypto dowries oriented toward mashlahah and the protection of wives’ rights in the 4.0 era.

Social emotional development in early childhood is an important foundation for children's psychological and social functioning in later stages of development. This process is greatly influenced by the quality of interactions within the family environment, including the level and quality of the father's involvement in parenting. Although various studies show that fathers play a significant role in shaping children's emotional regulation, independence, and social competence, studies that systematically integrate the role of fathers within the framework of psychosocial and sociocultural development theory are still relatively limited. This study aims to critically analyze the role of fathers in shaping the emotions and socialization of early childhood based on the perspectives of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory and Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural theory. This study uses a qualitative approach with a Literature Study Review (LSR) method of reputable national and international journal articles, academic books, and scientific proceedings published in the period 2020–2025. The data were analyzed through thematic synthesis and conceptual analysis. The results of the study show that consistent, responsive, and supportive father involvement contributes significantly to the development of emotional regulation, self-confidence, social initiative, and adaptive social interaction skills in children. These findings confirm the relevance of Erikson and Vygotsky's theories and provide theoretical and practical implications for the development of family parenting patterns and early childhood education policies that encourage optimal father involvement.

This study examines deep learning as an educational approach within the Indonesian education system by exploring its conceptual foundations, policy frameworks, and practical implementation. The background of the study arises from ongoing challenges in Indonesian classrooms, where teacher-centered instruction and surface learning practices remain dominant, limiting students’ critical thinking, engagement, and real-world application of knowledge. The study aims to analyze how deep learning, characterized by mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning, is conceptualized in educational theory, reflected in national education policies, and implemented in classroom practices. Using a qualitative literature review method, data were collected from peer-reviewed national and international journal articles, academic books, and research reports related to deep learning in education. The data were analyzed through thematic synthesis to identify patterns concerning implementation strategies, learning outcomes, and implementation challenges. The findings indicate that deep learning contributes positively to students’ cognitive development, motivation, engagement, and 21st-century skills, particularly critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. However, its implementation in Indonesia faces several obstacles, including limited teacher competence, inadequate assessment systems, insufficient contextual learning materials, and unequal technological infrastructure. The study concludes that successful deep learning implementation requires integrated policy support, continuous teacher professional development, contextualized curriculum design, and equitable access to learning resources. These findings provide practical implications for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers in strengthening sustainable and humanistic education in Indonesia.

This study aims to conduct a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) regarding the influence of career development on organizational commitment. Based on the analysis of various scientific articles, career development is an important approach in human resource management, which focuses on improving employees’ skills, enthusiasm, and readiness to face job challenges and promotion opportunities. On the other hand, organizational commitment refers to the emotional connection that employees have with their workplace, which includes aspects of emotional attachment, obligation, and enduring bonds. The results of the systematic literature review indicate that many previous studies have found a strong and positive correlation between career development and organizational commitment. Workers who are aware of support for their career development, including training programs, mentoring, or predetermined career paths, generally show a higher level of dedication to their organization. Furthermore, various studies have shown that career development can also have an indirect effect on organizational commitment through mediating factors such as job satisfaction, work motivation, and employee performance. However, several studies have shown that career development does not always have a significant impact on organizational commitment, particularly in organizations without a structured career system or when employees have negative perceptions of career opportunities. These varying results highlight the existence of contextual factors that influence the relationship between variables. Overall, this study offers in-depth insights into the significance of career development as a strategic factor in enhancing organizational commitment, along with suggestions for organizations and future researchers conducting similar studies.

This study examines the development of scientific publications on the topic of competency development and performance of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in Indonesia in the period 2014–2024 using a bibliometric analysis approach.

The "Hilya Collection" Store utilizes social media for product promotion, collaborating with agents and resellers through WhatsApp groups, Instagram Reels, Shopee accounts, Facebook, and TikTok. This digital marketing strategy helps the store build strong branding, increase customer trust, and expand its market reach globally. With consistent implementation of the right digital strategy, this business can compete in a wider market, reach more Muslim customers, and have a positive impact on the store's development. It is hoped that the implementation of this digital marketing strategy will continue to support the growth and success of the "Hilya Collection" Store in facing increasingly fierce market competition.

The development of social media has encouraged students to be more active in interacting, sharing information, and establishing relationships online. However, the high intensity of social media use also increases the risk of personal data leakage. This literature study aims to examine the relationship between privacy awareness and students' safe behavior in social media use. The research was conducted by examining various sources, including scientific journals, articles, research reports, books, and online references relevant to digital security issues. The results of the study show that privacy awareness has a significant role in shaping students' safe behavior. This awareness is reflected through the practice of using strong passwords, the implementation of two-factor authentication, and prudence in sharing personal information in the digital space. Although knowledge about digital threats is quite adequate, students' safe behavior is still influenced by the level of internalization of privacy awareness. Therefore, increasing privacy awareness requires not only information, but also educational strategies that emphasize the formation of consistent digital attitudes and habits. This study makes an important contribution to understanding the relationship between privacy awareness and safe behavior, as well as being the basis for the development of more effective digital literacy programs among students.

Having a child with an intellectual disability requires parents to face greater challenges in parenting, encompassing not only physical needs but also emotional and social aspects. This study aims to explore the resilience of parents of children with intellectual disabilities and the factors that influence it. Parental resilience encompasses the ability to survive, adapt, and thrive despite facing high levels of psychological stress. This study used a narrative literature review method, reviewing 11 international and national journal articles published between 2015 and 2025. The results indicate that psychological stress, such as anxiety, stress, and frustration, is often experienced by parents, but high resilience can mitigate the negative impact of this stress. Factors influencing resilience include the individual characteristics of parents, the characteristics of children with intellectual disabilities, and social and environmental support. Good resilience not only supports child development but also the well-being of parents. Based on these findings, this study suggests the importance of social support and the formation of a community of parents to share experiences and provide emotional support.

Background: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) represent a global public health challenge. The increasing number of Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) cases is a serious concern worldwide. A lack of education or minimal knowledge, along with risky behavior, contributes significantly to the high STI rates, particularly among the young age group. Purposes: The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the major types of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)—namely Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, Syphilis, and HPV—by identifying their risk factors and determining the most effective prevention strategies. Method:The researchers employed a literature review method. The data search process was conducted systematically on Google Scholar, limiting sources only to articles available in full text and having open access. Results: The literature review concludes that the factors of knowledge, attitude, behavior, and age significantly influence an individual's risk of contracting Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Therefore, prevention efforts must be carried out comprehensively, encompassing promotive (awareness enhancement), preventive (prevention), curative (treatment), and rehabilitative (recovery) activities. Practically, this prevention must include sexual health education, adoption of safe sexual behavior, implementation of routine health checks (screening), and vaccination (specifically for Hepatitis B and HPV). Conclusion: Overall, controlling the spread of STIs requires active and collaborative roles from all parties—including the government, health workers, and the community. The main key to suppressing the spread and burden of STI diseases in the community is through improving appropriate sexual health education, improving access to health services, and periodic health screening.  

Acute pain is a complex phenomenon frequently experienced by post-surgical patients. If not properly managed, it can hinder the recovery process and increase the risk of chronic complications. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the concept of acute pain in surgical patients from a nursing perspective to improve the quality of care. The method used was a narrative literature review, analyzing various research articles and clinical protocols related to surgical pain management. The study findings indicate that acute post-surgical pain involves sensory and emotional dimensions influenced by the type of surgical procedure, individual pain threshold, and the effectiveness of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Furthermore, the role of nurses in conducting accurate pain assessments and patient education is a key factor in successful pain management. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of implementing integrated multimodality pain management protocols and improving nurses' competency in conducting intensive monitoring. Optimizing pain management is expected to accelerate patient mobilization, shorten hospital stays, and increase patient satisfaction with nursing services.

Long-term treatment adherence is critical for schizophrenia patients, yet non-adherence remains a significant global challenge, contributing to relapse, re-hospitalization, and increased healthcare costs. Understanding the underlying multidimensional factors is crucial for developing effective interventions. This systematic literature review aims to identify and categorize the dominant factors contributing to medication non-adherence among schizophrenia patients, based on current quantitative evidence (2019-2024). A systematic search of Google Scholar and PubMed targeted quantitative cross-sectional studies using the PICOST framework. Article selection followed PRISMA guidelines, and quality was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. Seven articles were included in the final narrative synthesis. The synthesis confirms that non-adherence is multifactorial. Identified factors were categorized into three groups: (1) Patient-related factors (e.g., poor illness insight, feeling cured, treatment fatigue); (2) Treatment-related factors (e.g., medication side effects, therapy duration); and (3) System and social factors (e.g., low family support, stigma, poor therapeutic alliance). Non-adherence is a complex issue arising from the interplay of patient, treatment, and social factors. Low family support and poor patient knowledge consistently emerge as key determinants. Interventions require a holistic approach extending beyond pharmacotherapy, focusing on comprehensive psychosocial education for patients and families, active side-effect management, and strengthening the family's role in care.

This study aims to identify factors associated with fast food consumption behavior among adolescents based on the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) through a literature review. A descriptive literature review was conducted using nine peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2025, retrieved from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The findings indicate that adolescent fast food consumption behavior is influenced by two main components of SCT, namely personal factors and environmental factors. Personal factors were predominantly examined through the knowledge variable, which showed inconsistent associations with fast food consumption, while other personal variables, although mostly related, lacked consistent empirical support across studies. In contrast, environmental factors demonstrated more consistent associations, particularly peer influence, mass media exposure, parental influence, and pocket money, which were repeatedly identified as significant determinants of fast food consumption among adolescents. In conclusion, adolescent fast food consumption behavior is more strongly influenced by environmental factors than by personal factors, highlighting the importance of multi-level interventions that address social and environmental contexts in shaping healthy eating behaviors among adolescents.

The right to health is a fundamental human right that remains inherent to prisoners. This study aims to examine the legal protection of prisoners' right to health care as regulated in Law Number 22 of 2022 on Corrections, as well as its implementation in correctional institutions. The research uses a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings show that Law Number 22 of 2022 formally guarantees prisoners' access to health services, including mental health care and special protection for vulnerable groups such as women, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Key provisions in Articles 10, 11, 12, and 14 establish the state's obligation to provide adequate health services equivalent to community standards. However, in practice, the realization of this right faces several obstacles including: (1) overcapacity of correctional facilities exceeding 180% of ideal capacity, (2) limited medical personnel with many institutions lacking permanent doctors, (3) inadequate health facilities and medicine supplies, (4) complicated referral procedures causing delays in emergency treatment, and (5) insufficient budget allocation. Strengthening technical regulations, improving infrastructure, enhancing cross-sectoral collaboration, and implementing effective oversight mechanisms are essential to ensure effective protection of prisoners' health rights as mandated by the constitution and international human rights standards.

This study seeks to analyze the ideas and practices of transnational Islamic educational ideologies and their impact on Islamic educational institutions across diverse local settings. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, the research systematically reviews a range of relevant scholarly sources, including peer-reviewed journal articles, dissertations, and research reports published between 2014 and 2024. The findings demonstrate that transnational movements such as Salafism, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hizbut Tahrir significantly influence curriculum design, religious orientation, and the institutional culture of Islamic education. Nevertheless, this influence does not operate in a straightforward or uniform manner; instead, it is shaped through continuous negotiation with local contexts, particularly via state regulations, sociocultural conditions, and adaptive educational practices. The study highlights that local actors actively reinterpret and mediate transnational ideological frameworks to align them with national educational policies and community needs. Overall, this research offers comprehensive insights into the complex interactions between transnational Islamic ideologies and the ongoing transformation of contemporary Islamic education in different socio-political environments.

This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) research synthesizes findings from five scientific articles that focus on the vital role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in overcoming the crisis and moral decadence among the Young Generation triggered by the minimal internalization of positive values in education, the lack of family roles, and the challenges of the digital era. The results of the synthesis show that overcoming the moral crisis requires a comprehensive approach, including: first, Affective Approach: PAI must transform from a cognitive focus to an Affective Approach based on the core values of the Qur'an (Ihsan, Rahmah, Tawadhu', Sabr, Amanah) to touch students' spirituality; second, Social Integration: PAI must be integrated with social reality to foster social piety through community-based programs (mosques) that ground Islamic values contextually; and third, Digital Adaptation: PAI teachers play a strategic role as moral role models and are required to adapt to the digital era through strategies for utilizing interactive technology and forming positive digital communities to overcome the influence of negative social media content. Overall, PAI is a central pillar whose effectiveness depends on strong collaboration between educational environments and the ability of teachers to be technologically literate spiritual-affective guides.

Student resilience is an essential capacity for coping with academic, social, and psychological challenges in educational settings. One of the external factors that plays a significant role in fostering resilience is social support. This study aims to analyze the role of social support in enhancing student resilience from the perspective of Islamic educational psychology. This research employed a library research approach by reviewing and synthesizing relevant journal articles and scholarly books published between 2021 and 2025 related to social support, student resilience, and Islamic educational psychology. Data were analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis of previous research findings. The results indicate that social support derived from family, teachers, peers, and the school environment functions as a protective factor that enhances students’ adaptive abilities, emotional regulation, and resilience in facing academic pressures. From the perspective of Islamic educational psychology, social support is integrated with Islamic values such as ukhuwah (brotherhood), ta’awun (mutual assistance), sabr (patience), and tawakkul (trust in God), which strengthen students’ resilience in a holistic manner, encompassing both psychological and spiritual dimensions. This study contributes theoretically to the development of Islamic educational psychology and provides practical implications for educational institutions in creating supportive and value-based learning environments.
