Seventeen is a crucial age in adolescent development, marked by various psychological, social, and cognitive changes. According to Erikson, adolescents at this stage face the psychosocial crisis of “identity versus role confusion,“where they begin to form a sense of self. Piaget explains that they enter the formal operational stage, where abstract and logical thinking emerge. Monks et al. further emphasize that adolescent development is strongly influenced by social interactions with family, peers, and the school environment. This study aims to explore the  psychological  development  dynamics  of  17-year-old  adolescents  and the    influencing factors such as family environment, academic pressure, and social relationships. The research uses a qualitative case study method involving one twelfth-grade high school students. The findings reveal that adolescents at this age begin to show a more stable identity, greater independence, and reflective thinking abilities. However, some also experience anxiety, identity conflicts, and social pressure. These findings highlight the importance of emotional support from both families and schools in guiding adolescents through this transitional stage in a healthy and adaptive way.

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a social protection policy aimed at reducing poverty through conditional cash transfers to low-income families. This study analyzes the implementation of PKH in Kedungrejo Village, Waru District, Sidoarjo Regency, using a descriptive qualitative approach and the policy implementation theory by Van Meter and Van Horn. The findings indicate that the implementation of PKH has been effective, as seen in the implementers’ understanding of the program, inter-agency communication, and stable socio-political support. However, challenges remain, including delays in fund disbursement, limited technical capacity at the sub-district level, and public dissatisfaction with beneficiary data validation. Therefore, the study recommends a more structured disbursement schedule, improved technical capacity of implementers, and the involvement of community leaders in the data collection process to ensure better targeting and sustainability of the program.

This study aims to analyze the influence of the family environment on student learning achievement in elementary school. The family environment is an external factor that plays an important role in shaping children's character, motivation, and learning habits. This study uses a literature study method with a descriptive qualitative approach, which examines various academic literature related to the topic. The results of the study show that family harmony, parental attention and assistance, socioeconomic conditions, and parenting style have a real contribution to students' academic achievement. Families who are able to provide a positive and supportive learning environment emotionally and structurally can increase children's mental readiness and motivation in facing the learning process. These findings are also reinforced by developmental ecological theories that place the family as the closest microsystem that most early influences a child's development. Therefore, the active involvement of families in children's education needs to be strengthened as part of efforts to improve the quality of basic education.  

This study analyzes the judicial reasoning in a cumulative family law case involving a wife’s petition for divorce and child custody due to her husband’s failure to provide financial support. Using a normative-empirical legal research method, the research focuses on case No. 5139/Pdt.G/2020/PA.Tgrs at the Tangerang Religious Court. The findings reveal that the court acknowledged economic neglect as a legitimate ground for divorce and upheld maternal custody for the underage child based on Article 105 of the Compilation of Islamic Law. The judge’s decision also reflected a balanced approach between formal legal provisions and Islamic ethical principles such as maslahah (public interest) and justice. This dual reasoning framework enhances both the legal legitimacy and moral authority of the religious courts. The research contributes to the discourse on integrated legal reasoning in pluralistic systems and highlights the importance of protecting women and children's rights in family law proceedings.

The role of fathers in children's lives cannot actually be underestimated. Unfortunately, there are still many children in Indonesia who grow up without the presence or maximum role of a father. This phenomenon is known as fatherlessness. Either because the father is not there (due to divorce or death), or because the father is there but does not carry out his role well. In fact, according to Islamic teachings and legal regulations in Indonesia, fathers have a big responsibility to provide for their children, both materially, with love and attention. Through this study, it is discussed how Islam provides strong warnings for negligent fathers, even calling it a major sin. The Prophet's hadith also emphasizes a lot about a father's responsibility towards his family. Not only that, Indonesian law also has clear regulations regarding sanctions for fathers who abandon their children, including criminal threats. In essence, fathers are not only breadwinners, but also important figures in children's growth and development. If this role is ignored, the impact could be big for the child, family, and even the future of the father himself. The state and society must care more about this, so that Indonesian children can grow up healthy, complete and happy.

The phenomenon of paid nikah muhallil reflects a serious deviation in public understanding of Islamic teachings on marriage. This practice is carried out to circumvent the prohibition of reconciliation after a triple divorce by engineering a temporary marriage through financial compensation. This study aims to examine paid nikah muhallil from the perspective of the Prophet’s hadiths and the urgency of proper Islamic legal socialization. A qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical and takhrij hadith approach was employed, involving library research of primary and secondary sources. The findings show that the hadiths addressing the prohibition of nikah muhallil are authentic (shahih) and well-known (masyhur), supported by various hadith compilations and scholarly opinions. This practice is explicitly forbidden as it contradicts the objectives of Sharia (maqashid syariah) and undermines the moral and spiritual values of marriage. The implication of this study underscores the importance of structured hadith education and socialization to prevent society from engaging in legal manipulation that harms family integrity and Islamic values.  

The transformation of the modern labor market has posed significant challenges for young people, particularly in the form of career uncertainty, excessive work flexibility, and the mismatch between education and labor market demands. This study aims to explore how Indonesian youth respond to these conditions through the lens of ambivalence and resilience theories by Colombo & Rebughini. The research uses a qualitative method with in-depth interviews involving two university graduates working in fields unrelated to their academic backgrounds. The findings reveal that the lack of job stability, economic pressure, and educational mismatch drive young people to develop various adaptive strategies. These include personal resilience such as introspection and optimism, as well as social resilience supported by family and peer networks. Furthermore, the meaning of work among youth is shifting—not merely as a source of income, but as a space for self-actualization, skill relevance, and psychological comfort. This is consistent with previous studies in SINTA-indexed journals, which emphasize that Indonesian youth today are redefining success and meaningful work within an increasingly ambivalent social landscape. The study concludes that youth are not merely passive victims of economic uncertainty but are also active agents in constructing their own narratives of work and life. Therefore, it is essential for educational institutions, industries, and the state to provide adaptive environments that allow youth to grow sustainably within a dynamic labor ecosystem.

This study aims to describe and analyze the strategies implemented by the Environmental Agency (DLH) of Karimun Regency in managing waste and to evaluate the effectiveness of these implementations in the field. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews. Findings reveal that DLH Karimun has developed and executed key strategies, including the formulation of the Regional Waste Management Master Plan (RIPSD), optimization of Temporary Waste Disposal Sites (TPS) with 3R principles, active collaboration with waste banks and community groups, and community-based education and socialization efforts. However, operational challenges persist, particularly in waste transportation fleet distribution, handling of the Sememal Final Disposal Site (TPA), and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms that remain suboptimal. Additional challenges include limited human resources and funding, low public awareness, and regulatory conflicts impacting strategic decision-making. Nevertheless, the strategies implemented have contributed to improvements in environmental cleanliness across several sub-districts and increased volumes of processed waste through recycling initiatives. Community involvement through schools, youth organizations, family welfare groups, mutual cooperation activities, and waste banks proved critical to success. The study recommends the adoption of digital-based waste management systems (smart waste management), capacity building for DLH personnel, community empowerment, and revision of local regulations to support sustainable waste management. This will enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of DLH Karimun’s waste management strategies moving forward. The findings provide valuable insights for policy formulation and practical implementation in similar regional contexts.  

Family counseling is a strategic approach to helping family members overcome various issues that disrupt family harmony and functionality. In the Indonesian context, family counseling cannot be separated from the influence of distinctive local cultural values such as kinship, mutual cooperation (gotong royong), respect for elders, and the strong presence of religious and customary norms. Indonesian culture, which is predominantly collectivist and hierarchical, places the family as the central social institution that shapes individual identity and behavior. Therefore, it is essential for counselors to understand the diverse family structures present in Indonesia, ranging from patriarchal and matrilineal systems (such as in Minangkabau) to more egalitarian modern families. Culturally-based family counseling in Indonesia not only focuses on resolving interpersonal conflicts within the family but also emphasizes the importance of maintaining social harmony and protecting the family’s reputation in the community. In Indonesian society, conflict resolution is often carried out through deliberation (musyawarah) and involves third parties such as community elders, religious leaders, or respected senior family members. This highlights the need for family counselors in Indonesia to possess intercultural competence and a deep understanding of prevailing social norms. Moreover, religiosity plays a significant role in shaping values, attitudes, and decision-making within families. Counseling approaches that neglect the spiritual and cultural dimensions are often perceived as irrelevant or ineffective. Thus, integrating Western psychological theories with local values is crucial for family counseling to be both effective and contextually appropriate. This article explores the importance of culturally grounded family counseling in Indonesia by emphasizing key principles such as local wisdom, togetherness, deliberation, and harmony as the foundation for intervention strategies. By understanding the complexities of Indonesia’s pluralistic culture, family counseling can become a powerful tool to rebuild healthy, sustainable relationships and support the development of a more emotionally and socially harmonious society.

The provision of sustenance (nafaqah) is a crucial aspect of family life that is strongly emphasized in Islamic teachings. This study aims to explore the urgency of nafaqah through a thematic approach to authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) hadiths that address the obligation of financial support, viewed from legal, ethical, and social perspectives. Using the maudhū‘ī (thematic) method, this research collects and analyzes ṣaḥīḥ hadiths from major compilations such as Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim to gain a comprehensive understanding of Islamic principles regarding nafaqah. The findings reveal that providing sustenance is not only a legal duty of the husband, but also a sign of faith, compassion, and a means of maintaining social stability. This study highlights the importance of a proper understanding of nafaqah in Islam as a foundation for building a harmonious and God-pleasing family.

Dyscalculia is a specific learning disorder that affects students' ability to understand basic math concepts. Handling this condition requires the active role of the teacher as the main facilitator in the learning process. This study aims to describe in depth the role of teachers in handling students with dyscalculia at SLB Yasmin Sumenep, and highlight the importance of coordination patterns between teachers and parents in supporting students' learning success. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data was obtained through observation and in-depth interviews with teachers. The results show that teachers not only function as teachers, but also as motivators and emotional companions for students. Teachers apply concrete and fun learning strategies, and create a supportive classroom atmosphere. In addition, the communication pattern between teachers and parents through a special group is an important factor in monitoring children's development and developing appropriate learning solutions. So, the role of adaptive, collaborative and empathic teachers determines the effectiveness of mathematics learning for students with dyscalculia. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous teacher training and strengthening the synergy between school and family to realize inclusive education.  

Anemia in pregnant women is one of the contributing factors to stunting in toddlers. The consumption of iron (Fe) tablets by pregnant women requires supervision from family members to support the success of the stunting reduction program in Bangli Regency. Iron tablet intervention in pregnant women has been proven to reduce the risk of complications, lower the incidence of low birth weight in infants, and decrease maternal mortality during childbirth. This study used a cross-sectional survey design, involving 48 pregnant women. Data collection was conducted using total sampling during the period from January 2024 to January 2025 at Kintamani IV Public Health Center. Bivariate data analysis was carried out using the chi-square test. The results of the study showed that 68% of pregnant women experienced mild anemia. Most pregnancies were in the third trimester (39%), and 43% of the participants were in their first pregnancy. The majority of the pregnant women had good knowledge levels. There was a significant relationship between pregnant women’s knowledge and their adherence to consuming iron tablets, with a p-value of 0.019. The odds ratio (OR = 5.014) indicated that pregnant women with good knowledge were five times more likely to adhere to iron tablet consumption compared to those with limited knowledge. Support and monitoring of the nutritional status of pregnant women are essential to reduce the incidence of low birth weight and stunting among toddlers in Selulung Village, Kintamani District.  

According to BPS data, in 2024, the poverty rate in Siak Regency reached 5.08% of a total population of 487.67 thousand. Family poverty is a major challenge in Indone-sia’s social development. As the official institution managing zakat, BAZNAS plays a strategic role in alleviating poverty. However, the current zakat regulations do not ful-ly support a family-based approach to zakat distribution. This study aims to formu-late a legislative reconstruction model for BAZNAS based on the Maqasid Syariah, ensuring that zakat distribution is more equitable, effective, and has a systemic impact on the welfare of poor families. Employing a qualitative normative approach and Maqasid Syariah theory, the study finds that the restructuring of BAZNAS regula-tions should emphasize the dimensions of protection for religion (din), soul (nafs), intellect ('aql), lineage (nasl), and wealth (mal), with the family as the fundamental unit of society. Family poverty is not merely a matter of economic incapacity; it also encompasses the failure to meet basic needs related to education, health, and social protection. Religious institutions like BAZNAS possess a constitutional and reli-gious mandate to manage zakat professionally. However, the current management and legislation of zakat have not been holistically oriented towards the sustainable empowerment of poor families. Within the framework of Maqasid Syariah, zakat is not only an obligatory act of worship but also a socio-economic instrument designed to safeguard five essential components: religion, soul, intellect, lineage, and wealth. Therefore, it is imperative to reconstruct zakat regulations in a manner that is attuned to contemporary needs and capable of addressing the challenges of family-based poverty.

Background: Hypertension is a chronic disease that requires long-term management through effective self-care behavior. Family support plays a crucial role in encouraging adherence and success in disease management among hypertensive patients. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 106 respondents were selected using a consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using the Somers’ D test to determine the relationship between family roles and self-care management. Result: The majority of respondents received good family support (76.4%) and demonstrated good self-care management (61.3%). Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between family roles and self-care management (p < 0.001), with a Somers’ D coefficient of 0.430. Family roles explained approximately 24.6% of the variation in patients' self-care behavior. Conclusion : There is a significant relationship between family roles and self-care management among hypertensive patients. Good family support, particularly emotional and instrumental support, can enhance the effectiveness of self-care in managing hypertension.    

This study aims to analyze the influence of interaction between parents on children's emotional development. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach based on literature studies in the past five years, the study found that interactions that include communication, parenting, and emotional support play a very important role. These aspects contribute to the formation of the child's emotional regulation, self-confidence, and social skills. This study makes a significant conceptual contribution to the development of emotionally sensitive parenting strategies. Children who experience positive interactions in their family environment tend to show good emotional balance and adaptive social skills. Conversely, negative interaction patterns can trigger problems such as anxiety, aggressiveness, and difficulty socializing. In addition, factors such as parental stress, lack of understanding of emotions, and excessive use of technology play a role in affecting the quality of the relationship. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of parental involvement in emotionally aware parenting practices to support children's growth and development. The study also highlights the need for social support and ongoing education for parents, in order to build an emotionally healthy family environment. It is hoped that the results of this study can be the basis for the development of family education programs and parenting policies based on scientific approaches.

This study analyzes factors that influence this understanding and perception, such as education level, family environment, media influence, personal experience, and involvement in daily customary life. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation in order to gain a deeper understanding of the young generation of Toba Batak towards customary divorce law. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of the understanding of the young generation towards the customary divorce process, the role of the family, and the factors that influence their views. This study discusses the perception and understanding of the young generation of Toba Batak towards customary divorce law amidst the influence of modernization. Through the understanding and perception of the young generation towards customary divorce law, this study attempts to provide an overview of the relevance of the young generation of Toba Batak towards customary divorce law. The results of the study show that although most still respect customs and the value of family deliberation, there are doubts about customary justice, especially regarding the position of women. The young generation tends to support the preservation of customs, but hopes for adjustments to be fairer and in accordance with the times. The results of the study are expected to be input for traditional leaders and the government in designing targeted cultural preservation policies.

This study aims to understand the dynamics of intercultural communication in the adaptation process of interethnic marriages between Javanese and Madurese couples in Sidoarjo Regency, East Java. The primary focus is on how couples from different cultural backgrounds develop communication patterns and adjust to one another in their household life. This research employs a qualitative approach using a phenomenological design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with three interethnic couples who have been married for more than two years. The findings reveal that communication within interethnic households is adaptive and context-dependent. Indonesian is predominantly used as the main language of interaction, serving as a neutral medium easily understood by both parties, while regional languages are preserved for specific cultural situations. Challenges in communication arise from differences in emotional expression and communication styles, which often lead to misunderstandings, especially during the early stages of marriage. However, couples who engage in open and respectful communication are able to overcome these differences and create a harmonious relationship. Cultural adaptation is also reflected in parenting practices, division of household roles, and interactions with extended families. Support from extended families significantly contributes to the process of cultural acceptance. In conclusion, interethnic marriages between Javanese and Madurese couples represent an ongoing negotiation of values and the formation of a new, inclusive family identity through mutual understanding and culturally respectful communication.
