This study aims to explore the subjective experiences of individuals in relationships with partners with Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD) tendencies through a qualitative approach. AvPD is characterized by a pattern of feelings of inadequacy, high sensitivity to rejection, and a tendency to avoid intense social interactions, including intimate relationships. The research method used a phenomenological design with in-depth interviews with three participants who had experience in romantic relationships with individuals with AvPD symptoms. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques to identify emerging patterns of experience. The results showed that individuals in these relationships often experience complex emotional dynamics, such as confusion, frustration, and feelings of emotional unfulfillment. Participants expressed difficulties in building emotional closeness because their partners tended to maintain distance, avoid conflict, and have an excessive fear of rejection. On the other hand, participants also showed high empathy and attempted to understand their partners' psychological conditions, although this often resulted in emotional exhaustion. This study highlights the importance of psychological understanding, effective communication, and professional support in maintaining relationships with individuals with AvPD tendencies. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of psychological interventions and increase awareness of the dynamics of interpersonal relationships involving personality disorders.

The postpartum period is a critical phase in which mothers experience physiological and psychological recovery. Bengkung, a traditional abdominal binding cloth, is commonly used by Indonesian postpartum mothers, but inappropriate application may cause discomfort and may not support recovery optimally. This community service program aimed to improve postpartum mothers' knowledge and skills regarding safe and appropriate bengkung use. The activity was conducted through counseling, demonstration, guided practice, and evaluation using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach involving 30 postpartum mothers at a community-based maternal health service setting. The educational content covered postpartum physiological changes, indications and contraindications, safe binding principles, hygiene, duration of use, warning signs, and when to seek professional care. The evaluation showed an increase in good knowledge from 26.7% before education to 86.7% after education, and correct practice skills increased from 20.0% to 83.3%. Participants also reported better understanding of avoiding overly tight binding, maintaining breathing comfort, and discontinuing use when pain, shortness of breath, excessive bleeding, or wound problems occur. This activity indicates that structured education and demonstration can strengthen postpartum self-care and support safer integration of traditional practices into maternal health services.

This study aims to examine the impact of academic burnout on students’ mental health in the context of hybrid learning through a literature review approach. The rapid transformation of learning systems in higher education, particularly the integration of online and offline methods, has increased academic demands and adaptation challenges for students. This condition potentially triggers academic burnout, which is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and decreased academic achievement. This research employs a literature review method by analyzing relevant scientific articles published between 2019-2025 obtained from indexed national journals and open-access sources. The findings indicate that academic burnout is still commonly experienced by students, generally at a moderate level, and has a significant impact on mental health, including increased stress, emotional fatigue, and decreased academic performance. The study also identifies several influencing factors, including internal factors such as self-efficacy and hardiness, as well as external factors such as social support, learning environment, and academic workload. Furthermore, technological developments, particularly Artificial Intelligence, have the potential to be utilized as an early detection and prevention tool for academic burnout. This study implies the importance of developing adaptive learning strategies and psychological interventions to support students’ well-being in hybrid learning environments.

Mental health issues among university students have become a growing concern, driven by academic pressures, career uncertainties, and complex social transitions. However, a large proportion of students remains reluctant to seek professional psychological support due to social stigma and limited access to institutional counseling services. This study proposes the design and implementation of an Android-based chatbot application that integrates mood tracking and sentiment analysis to continuously monitor the emotional states of university students. The system employs a fine-tuned RoBERTa (Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach) model trained on the EmoContext conversational dataset (SemEval-2019 Task 3), comprising 30,160 labeled three-turn dialogue instances across four emotion classes: angry, happy, sad, and others. The model was fine-tuned for four epochs using the AdamW optimizer with a learning rate of 2e-5 and a maximum sequence length of 128 tokens. Evaluation on a held-out validation set of 6,032 samples yielded an overall accuracy of 88.28%, a macro-average F1-score of 0.87, and a weighted-average F1-score of 0.88. Per-class F1-scores were 0.89 (angry), 0.83 (happy), 0.91 (others), and 0.86 (sad). The classified emotion is transmitted in real time to the chatbot response logic, which generates empathetic replies and personalized relaxation recommendations based on the detected mood. Primary data collection through questionnaires and interviews with 62 and 19 university students respectively confirmed the need for accessible digital mental health support. The results demonstrate that RoBERTa-based fine-tuning on conversational data provides a reliable foundation for real-time emotion-aware mental health chatbot systems.

The development of social media in the digital era has significantly changed children’s social interaction patterns. Besides providing benefits such as easier access to information and opportunities for creativity, social media also brings negative impacts on children’s psychological, social, and moral development. This study aims to analyze the restriction of social media use among children from the perspective of Jürgen Habermas, especially regarding the concepts of the public sphere, communicative rationality, and the colonization of the lifeworld. This research uses a literature study method with a qualitative descriptive approach through the collection and analysis of relevant scientific articles. Data validity was strengthened through inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as source triangulation. The findings indicate that social media use among children has an ambivalent impact. Positive effects can emerge when there is strong parental supervision, while weak supervision increases the risk of exposure to harmful content, psychological problems, and reduced quality of social interaction. Restricting social media use through time regulation, content control, and digital education is considered important for protecting children’s development. From Habermas’s perspective, children are vulnerable in the digital public sphere because of their limited communicative rationality. Therefore, restrictions are viewed as efforts to protect children’s values and rationality from distortion by the digital media system.

Organizations in the digital era face rapid and unpredictable changes characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, requiring strategic adaptation and effective change management. This study aims to synthesize empirical findings on the role of change management strategies, adaptive leadership, innovative organizational culture, and employees’ psychological readiness in supporting digital transformation and improving employee performance. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on PRISMA 2020 guidelines, analyzing 23 selected peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2026. The findings indicate that successful digital transformation is not solely determined by technological advancement but largely influenced by human-centered factors. Adaptive and transformational leadership plays a critical role in fostering trust, reducing resistance, and maintaining employees’ emotional stability during organizational change. Furthermore, an innovative organizational culture, transparent communication, and continuous training significantly enhance employee engagement, adaptability, and performance. Psychological factors such as stress and resistance can either hinder or support change outcomes depending on how they are managed. The study highlights the importance of integrating technological, structural, and human aspects to achieve sustainable organizational transformation. The implications suggest that organizations should prioritize human-centered change strategies, strengthen digital literacy, and promote adaptive leadership to remain competitive in the Society 5.0 era.

Protection of rape victims’ rights within the Indonesian criminal justice system continues to face significant challenges, particularly regarding the role of advocates, who have traditionally focused more on assisting suspects or defendants. This study aims to analyze and describe the role of advocates in protecting the rights of rape victims, including the rights to legal assistance, restitution, and physical as well as psychological recovery. The research employs a normative juridical approach through the analysis of statutory regulations and relevant legal literature. The findings reveal that the role of advocates in assisting rape victims remains limited due to the absence of explicit provisions in the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) granting advocates full authority to represent victims throughout all stages of criminal proceedings. Consequently, victims frequently encounter obstacles in accessing justice and obtaining adequate legal protection. This condition demonstrates the need for legal reform to strengthen the position and authority of advocates in representing victims within the criminal justice process. Strengthening the role of advocates is expected to improve legal protection, ensure the fulfillment of victims’ rights, and support the recovery process for rape victims in Indonesia.

This study examines the dominance of mother tongue use in junior high school environments and its implications for the use of Indonesian as the language of instruction. The research is grounded in the sociolinguistic reality of multilingual Indonesian society, where students tend to rely on their first language in daily communication. The objective of this study is to analyze the factors influencing the dominance of mother tongue, its impacts on students’ Indonesian language proficiency, and its pedagogical implications. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review design, analyzing relevant scholarly sources published in recent years. The findings indicate that the dominance of mother tongue is influenced by linguistic, social, and psychological factors, including family environment, peer interaction, and limited Indonesian vocabulary mastery. The study reveals dual impacts: while mother tongue use facilitates comprehension and increases students’ confidence, it also potentially hinders formal Indonesian language development and leads to language interference. The study concludes that mother tongue should not be viewed solely as a barrier but as a potential pedagogical resource. The implications suggest that educators should adopt contextual bilingual strategies to optimize Indonesian language learning in multilingual classrooms.
