The increasing number of children facing the law in Indonesia indicates that the repressive legal approach has not been fully effective in addressing juvenile crime. Children, as subjects of law, have social and psychological characteristics that differ from adults, so law enforcement against them must consider humanitarian and educational aspects. This research aims to analyze the factors causing children to commit criminal acts and formulate a model for addressing them based on developing a legal culture rooted in Pancasila values. This research employs a normative juridical method with conceptual and legislative approaches, and analyzes data qualitatively thru literature review and positive legal norms. The research findings indicate that the causes of children committing criminal acts are multidimensional, encompassing family factors, social environment, education, economics, and psychological factors. Therefore, mitigation efforts cannot be done partially, but must be thru a preventive, educational, and restorative approach. This research offers a model for overcoming challenges thru the development of a legal culture based on five main pillars: family, education, society, the state, and the legal system. This model emphasizes the importance of synergy between law enforcement and moral development in accordance with the values of Divinity, Humanity, Unity, Deliberation, and Social Justice. Thus, the development of Pancasila legal culture is expected to realize a child criminal justice system that is humanistic, substantively just, and oriented toward social rehabilitation in accordance with the legal ideals of a Pancasila state of law.

Incest is a form of sexual violence that not only violates social and religious norms but also causes serious physical and mental health impacts on victims. In the context of Islamic law, incest is considered a heinous act that violates sharia and may be subject to hudud or ta'zir punishment. Meanwhile, in public health, incest is viewed as an issue that poses long-term risks, such as genetic disorders, psychological trauma, and socio-economic consequences. This study aims to examine prevention strategies for incest through a holistic approach combining Islamic legal principles and public health perspectives. The method used is qualitative research with a normative literature review and descriptive-analytical approach. The findings indicate that incest prevention can be achieved through strengthening religious values within families, sharia-based sexual education, and improving mental health services and case reporting systems in the community. The implications of this study highlight the importance of synergy between religious institutions, healthcare professionals, and public policy in establishing effective and sustainable incest prevention systems.

Divorce is a social phenomenon that is increasingly common and has various social, economic, and psychological impacts, especially for women as the most vulnerable party. Divorce not only results in changes in the legal status of husband and wife, but also affects the emotional condition and social well-being of women after the end of the marriage bond. From an Islamic legal perspective, the 'iddah period functions as a protection mechanism for women after divorce, which aims to maintain honor, ensure clarity of pregnancy conditions, and provide certainty of legal status. However, in practice there are conditions that resemble the 'iddah period without fully fulfilling the formal provisions of Islamic law, known as Syibhul 'Iddah, due to the unclear status of divorce or differences in legal interpretation. This concept has an important role in protecting women's rights, especially regarding livelihood, residence, and legal certainty after divorce. This study uses a library research method with a normative legal approach. Data were collected through a review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, including the Qur'an and Hadith, Islamic jurisprudence literature, laws and regulations such as the Compilation of Islamic Law, and relevant journals and scholarly works. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively using descriptive-analytical methods to examine the concept of Syibhul 'Iddah and its implications for the protection of women's rights after divorce.  

Anxiety during pregnancy, particularly near the time of delivery, is a common issue that may adversely affect both maternal and fetal health. Elevated anxiety levels are associated with increased pain perception, prolonged labor, and a higher likelihood of complications. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as aromatherapy, are increasingly utilized due to their safety, simplicity, and effectiveness. Lavender aromatherapy is especially recognized for its calming effects and its ability to enhance emotional well-being. Previous research has indicated that lavender scent exposure can reduce both physiological and psychological indicators of anxiety, including among pregnant women. However, evidence from Indonesian primary healthcare settings remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing anxiety levels among pregnant women approaching childbirth. An analytical observational design with a pretest-posttest approach was applied to 30 participants selected through purposive sampling. Anxiety levels were assessed using a validated questionnaire before and after inhalation of lavender aromatherapy administered under standardized conditions. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.The findings revealed a significant reduction in anxiety levels after the intervention (p < 0.05), with all participants experiencing improvement and no adverse effects reported. In conclusion, lavender aromatherapy is an effective complementary intervention to reduce anxiety and support maternal readiness for labor.

The phenomenon of the dual role of wives is a complex social reality amidst the patriarchal culture that is still deeply rooted in Indonesian society. In this social system, women often bear the double burden of domestic responsibilities as well as public roles, which often gives rise to gender inequality, role conflict, and psychological stress. This article aims to analyze the dual role of wives in a patriarchal culture using a gender perspective and maqasid sharia as an analytical framework. The research method used is a literature study with a qualitative-descriptive approach to various relevant literature. The results of the study indicate that patriarchal culture tends to limit access and recognition of women's roles, thus contradicting the principle of gender justice. Meanwhile, maqasid sharia emphasizes the values ​​of balance, justice, and benefit in husband-wife relations. The principles of hifz ad-din, hifz an-nafs, hifz al-aql, hifz an-nasl, and hifz al-mal provide theological legitimacy for women's social and economic roles as long as they are carried out within the framework of justice, shared responsibility, and family harmony.  

The development of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 to the Society 5.0 era presents new challenges for education, including Islamic Religious Education (PAI). PAI is required not only to transfer religious knowledge but also to shape character, morality, and 21st-century competencies. This study aims to examine the philosophical foundations, characteristics, and application of PAI learning models to ensure their relevance in modern education. The research employed a qualitative approach with a library research design, involving the exploration of primary and secondary literature, critical reading, systematic note-taking, and content analysis validated through triangulation of classical and contemporary sources. The findings indicate that PAI learning models are conceptual, theoretical, systematic, and rooted in religious, philosophical, psychological, and sociological foundations. Four main models behavioristic, information processing, social, and humanistic each have strengths and limitations, yet their integration is relevant to forming insan kamil, a holistic human being balanced in cognitive, affective, psychomotor, spiritual, and social aspects. Therefore, developing PAI learning models based on Islamic philosophy and adaptive to technological advancements is a strategic necessity to face global challenges.

Suicide among adolescents is a serious mental health problem; however, not all adolescents with suicidal ideation progress to suicide attempts. Understanding the psychological factors that influence the transition from intention to actual behavior is essential for effective prevention efforts. This study aims to examine the role of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in understanding the transition from suicidal intention to suicide attempt behavior, as well as protective behaviors such as mental health help-seeking among adolescents. This study employs a literature review method with a quantitative correlational approach based on the TPB framework, using secondary data from scientific articles published between 2021 and 2025 and obtained through Google Scholar and PubMed. The findings indicate that suicidal ideation is the strongest predictor of suicidal intention but does not always lead to suicide attempts. TPB constructs, particularly perceived behavioral control (PBC), play a crucial role in determining whether intention develops into risky behavior or is redirected toward protective behaviors. In addition, positive attitudes toward mental health services and supportive social norms were found to strengthen adolescents’ intentions to seek help. In conclusion, TPB is a relevant theoretical framework for explaining both risk pathways and prevention pathways of adolescent suicide and has the potential to serve as a foundation for developing more effective prevention interventions.

Sleep disturbances are a common problem during pregnancy, often resulting from physiological changes, hormonal fluctuations, and psychological stressors. Poor sleep quality in pregnant women can lead to fatigue, mood disorders, and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Mindfulness-based interventions, which emphasize present-moment awareness and non-judgmental acceptance, have been suggested as an effective strategy to improve sleep quality and reduce stress. This study aimed to analyze the effect of mindfulness on sleep quality among pregnant women in the Puskesmas Tosa catchment area. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was employed. A total of 30 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters participated and were divided equally into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received weekly mindfulness sessions for four weeks, including guided breathing, body scan, and focused attention meditation, while the control group received routine antenatal care. Sleep quality was assessed before and after the intervention using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired and independent t-tests, with a significance level set at p<0.05. Results indicated that the intervention group experienced a significant improvement in sleep quality, with mean PSQI scores decreasing from 9.80 ± 2.10 to 5.60 ± 1.90 (p<0.001). In contrast, the control group showed no significant change (pretest 9.53 ± 2.30; posttest 9.27 ± 2.25; p=0.395). These findings demonstrate that mindfulness effectively reduces sleep disturbances among pregnant women by addressing both psychological and physiological contributors to insomnia. In conclusion, integrating mindfulness practices into routine antenatal care is a practical, low-risk, and non-pharmacological approach to enhancing maternal sleep quality, reducing stress, and promoting overall well-being during pregnancy. This study provides evidence to support the inclusion of complementary mind-body interventions in primary health care services.

The paradigm of Islamic education requires the integration of Western learning theories with an Islamic perspective to create a holistic approach to education. With the rapid development of psychological theories in education, such as behaviorism, cognition, humanism, and constructivism, it is essential to examine their relevance within the context of Islamic education. This article aims to analyze the integration of these theories in Islamic learning, with a focus on their connection to key Islamic concepts such as reward-punishment (pahala-dosa), reflection (tafakkur), self-actualization, mutual assistance (ta'awun), and consultation (syura). This study uses a literature review method with a qualitative approach. Articles were gathered through Google Scholar and Publish or Perish with keywords "Behaviorism in Islamic Education" AND "Cognitive Learning in Islam" AND "Humanistic Approach in Islamic Education" AND "Constructivism in Islamic Education." Of the initial 40 articles obtained, a screening process resulted in 5 articles that met the publication criteria (2020–2025), relevance to the topic, and open access. The review results show that integrating these theories into Islamic education can enrich the learning process by linking moral, social, and spiritual elements that are essential in Islamic teachings. This literature synthesis reveals the importance of integrating psychological theories with the principles of Islamic education to create a more comprehensive and holistic educational system. Further research should develop empirical methodologies and more detailed and practical application models in Islamic education practice.

Discomfort during pregnancy is a common experience resulting from physical, physiological, and psychological changes, yet it is often not well understood by pregnant women. Limited knowledge about normal bodily changes and pregnancy-related discomfort can reduce maternal comfort and increase anxiety. Counseling serves as an important educational strategy to improve pregnant women’s understanding, particularly within antenatal care services at primary health care facilities. This study aimed to examine the effect of counseling on pregnancy discomfort in improving mothers’ knowledge about changes during pregnancy. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The sample consisted of 50 pregnant women selected using a total sampling technique. Mothers’ knowledge levels were assessed before and after the counseling intervention using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis included univariate analysis to describe the distribution of knowledge levels and bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to evaluate differences before and after the intervention. The findings demonstrated a notable increase in knowledge following counseling, indicated by a shift from predominantly poor and moderate knowledge levels in the pretest to good knowledge in the posttest. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest results (p < 0.05). In conclusion, counseling significantly improves pregnant women’s knowledge regarding pregnancy-related changes and discomfort.

Breast milk production during the postpartum period is a crucial factor in successful breastfeeding and achieving exclusive breastfeeding. However, during the early postpartum period, many postpartum mothers experience difficulties in breast milk production, influenced by physical and psychological conditions. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be used to help facilitate breast milk production is oxytocin massage, which aims to stimulate the release of the hormone oxytocin and increase the let-down reflex. This study aims to analyze the effect of oxytocin massage on breast milk production in postpartum mothers at the Marisa Community Health Center. This study used a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 30 postpartum mothers selected using purposive sampling according to the inclusion criteria. Breast milk production was measured before and after the oxytocin massage intervention using a structured observation sheet with units of milliliters (ml). Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods. Normality was tested using the Shapiro–Wilk test, while differences were tested using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that the average milk output before oxytocin massage was 18.00 ± 5.95 ml, and increased to 51.83 ± 10.94 ml after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of oxytocin massage on increasing breast milk output. It was concluded that oxytocin massage is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention to increase breast milk production in postpartum mothers and can be integrated into postpartum care in primary health care services.

This study aims to analyze the role of human resource management (HRM) in improving performance and retention among healthcare professionals in health service facilities. Using a systematic literature review approach based on the PRISMA method, this study reviewed 25 international and national journal articles published between 2015 and 2025. The findings indicate that strategic HRM practices—such as competency-based recruitment, continuous professional development, fair compensation, and transformational leadership—positively influence both performance and retention of healthcare workers. Additionally, factors like organizational culture, work-life balance, and psychological well-being play a mediating role in enhancing job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The results highlight that HRM practices are not merely administrative functions but strategic elements that determine healthcare organizations’ sustainability and competitiveness. The study contributes to the development of theoretical frameworks in strategic HRM and provides practical recommendations for healthcare managers to design more adaptive, fair, and human-centered HR policies.

Anxiety is a common psychological response experienced by contraceptive users, particularly among implant acceptors. Feelings of anxiety may arise due to hormonal changes, fear of side effects, and unpleasant experiences during contraceptive insertion. Aromatherapy using lavender essential oil has been shown to produce a calming effect through the activation of the limbic system and regulation of neurotransmitters, making it a potential method for reducing anxiety. This study aimed to determine the effect of lavender essential oil therapy on reducing anxiety among contraceptive implant acceptors at Tiley Health Center. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach was employed. A total of 30 respondents were randomly divided into treatment and control groups. The treatment group received inhalation of lavender essential oil for 10 minutes daily over three consecutive days, while the control group received no intervention. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). The results indicated a significant reduction in anxiety scores in the treatment group before and after the intervention (p < 0.001), while the control group showed no meaningful difference (p > 0.05). These findings demonstrate that lavender essential oil aromatherapy is effective in reducing anxiety among implant contraceptive acceptors. This non-pharmacological therapy can be recommended as an easy, affordable, and safe complementary intervention in midwifery care services.

Pain is a prevalent issue frequently seen by pregnant women in their third trimester, attributable to physiological, biomechanical, and psychological alterations during gestation. Non-pharmacological pain management is essential as a secure alternative to enhance the comfort of pregnant women. Perinatal Yoga and Relaxation Techniques are two commonly endorsed non-pharmacological therapies; yet, comparative analyses of their efficacy remain scarce, particularly within primary health care settings. This study is to evaluate the efficacy of Perinatal Yoga against Relaxation Techniques in alleviating pain among pregnant women in their third trimester at the Bongo II Community Health Centre. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest methodology. The sample comprised 38 pregnant women in their third trimester, categorized into two groups: 19 participants in the Perinatal Yoga group and 19 participants in the Relaxation Techniques group. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was utilized to assess pain severity prior to and following the intervention. A paired t-test was utilized for intra-group differences, whereas an independent t-test was employed to assess inter-group efficacy.The findings indicated that both Perinatal Yoga and Relaxation Techniques markedly diminished pain intensity in pregnant women throughout their third trimester (p<0.001). The decrease in pain in the Perinatal Yoga group was statistically significant compared to the Relaxation Technique group (p<0.05). This study concludes that Perinatal Yoga is superior than Relaxation Techniques in alleviating pain in pregnant women during their third trimester. Perinatal Yoga is indicated as an effective and practical non-pharmacological technique in antenatal treatment inside primary health facilities.

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-discipline and burnout (Thīna-Middha) on active participation in religious activities among Buddhist adolescents aged 15–18 in Central Java. The approach used is quantitative with a survey method, and the sampling technique is cluster sampling. The instrument used is a semantic differential scale questionnaire to measure self-discipline, burnout, and active participation. Data analysis is performed using multiple linear regression to determine the influence of each variable on active participation. The results show that self-discipline has a positive and significant effect on active participation in Buddhist religious activities, while burnout has a negative and significant effect. These two variables contribute 41.1% to active participation in religious activities. These findings highlight the importance of self-discipline as a factor that drives active participation, as well as the negative impact of burnout on adolescents' involvement in religious activities. The implications of this study can be used as a basis for designing more effective and targeted programs for Buddhist adolescents, considering the factors of self-discipline and efforts to mitigate burnout. These programs need to be tailored to the spiritual and psychological needs of adolescents to enhance their active participation in religious activities.

Paid online matchmaking services that have developed through Facebook use consumer profiles to promote and find partners. This practice raises legal issues, particularly those related to consumer protection and the risk of digital harassment—also known as cyberbullying—in the form of derogatory, discriminatory, or offensive comments about consumers' personal standards that are displayed publicly. The purpose of this study is to assess the legal liability of business actors for cyberbullying when operating online matchmaking services and to assess the extent to which legal protection tools are available to consumers. This study uses a normative legal approach, utilizing case studies of legislation and conceptual studies on the practice of paid matchmaking services on social media. The results of the study show that businesses are required to guarantee the safety, comfort, and protection of consumer rights in all digital-based commercial activities, including managing content and interacting with people on social media. Non-material losses, such as psychological pressure and abuse of consumer dignity, are caused by a lack of supervision and a lack of moderate comment mechanisms. Therefore, regulations on personal data protection must be strengthened, content moderation responsibilities must be determined, and legal accountability mechanisms for business actors in the digital ta'aruf business must be made clear.

Pregnancy is a crucial period that requires special attention to maternal nutritional status, including the prevention of anemia through the consumption of Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS). Compliance with MMS consumption remains a challenge due to physical, psychological, and social factors. This study aims to analyze the role of Posyandu cadres as peer support in improving compliance with MMS consumption and preventing anemia in pregnant women in the Bongo II Community Health Center, Boalemo Regency. The study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with a total sample of 20 pregnant women. Peer support interventions in the form of education, motivation, reminders, and routine monitoring were carried out for 4 weeks. Data were collected through questionnaires, MMS consumption records, and hemoglobin level examinations, then analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and paired t-test. The results showed a significant increase in the mean score of MMS consumption compliance from 61.2 to 80.5 (p = 0.002) and the mean hemoglobin level from 10.7 g/dL to 11.4 g/dL (p = 0.014). This finding confirms the effectiveness of peer support by Posyandu cadres in increasing compliance with MMS consumption and improving anemia status.

This study analyzes the short story Cinta Semata Wayang by Nuryana Asmaudi SA using a literary psychology approach grounded in Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. The research applies a literature study with a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through close reading to identify structural elements and the psychological dynamics of the characters. The findings reveal marital conflict symbolized through wayang figures, particularly Rama and Sinta. Structurally, the story presents a progressive plot, symbolic and metaphorical language, and central themes of love and responsibility. The psychological analysis highlights the interaction of the id, ego, and superego within the main characters: Rama experiences tension between personal desires and moral norms, while Sinta demonstrates superego dominance through loyalty and emotional endurance. The short story emphasizes that true love is not solely based on emotion but also requires responsibility, commitment, and moral awareness as the foundation of a harmonious and sustainable relationship. This research contributes to literary psychology studies and deepens understanding of moral values in literature.

This study investigates Qur’an-based healing practices within the Jakarta Qur’anic Structure Studies Community, focusing on the understanding of the Qur’an as Asy-Syifā’ (a source of healing) and the therapeutic application of Qur’anic verses through the Qur’anic Structure method. Employing a qualitative, descriptive-analytical design within a Living Qur’an and phenomenological framework, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with three key informants, and questionnaires administered to 23 practitioners. The findings show that the community positions the Qur’anic Structure method as an alternative approach to both physical and spiritual healing by treating the entire Qur’an as a medium of cure. This practice is operationalized through four principal patterns: the ‘Ain Structure, Page Structure, Alphabet Structure, and Surah Structure, all of which refer to the 18-line mushaf published by PT Taj Company (Karachi, Pakistan). Practitioners’ testimonies indicate perceived improvements in physical and psychological conditions, framing this method as a form of Qur’anic self-healing (ikhtiar) while reaffirming that ultimate healing belongs solely to Allah SWT.
