Generation Z (born 1997–2012) in Indonesia experiences an increase in anxiety disorders due to social media pressure, academic stress, social isolation, and future uncertainty. Modern psychological approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy are widely used, but often do not involve the spiritual aspects that are important in Indonesian culture. This research aims to examine the handling of anxiety in Generation Z through the perspective of Islamic philosophy, especially the thought of Ibn Sina. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the study show that Ibn Sina views mental health as a balance between body, soul, and intellect (vegetable, animal, and rational nafs). It offers a holistic approach that includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual therapies, such as art, music, prayer, and dhikr. This approach has the potential to help Generation Z deal with anxiety not only from a medical perspective, but also through strengthening the meaning of life and spirituality. The contribution of this research is to provide a philosophical framework that integrates modern psychological interventions with Islamic spiritual traditions, thereby offering a more culturally relevant approach to dealing with anxiety in adolescents.

The elderly stage is characterized by complex physical, psychological, and social changes, often leading to a decline in bodily functions and limitations in daily activities. This condition frequently results in older adults becoming highly dependent on assistance from others, including family members and caregivers in nursing homes. This study aims to understand the changes in bodily functions experienced by older adults and to identify factors that accelerate or worsen these processes, particularly among those residing in nursing homes. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, involving three older adult participants and one caregiver at Harapan Ibu Nursing Home. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed descriptively to illustrate patterns of functional decline and influencing factors. The main findings indicate that older adults experience decreased mobility, muscle strength, motor function, as well as impairments in vision and hearing. However, those who remain active in daily activities and receive environmental support demonstrate better levels of independence and quality of life. The study concludes that the decline in bodily functions among older adults is a natural process that can be slowed through physical activity, social support, and a supportive environment, enabling them to maintain a meaningful and independent life despite limitations.

The rapid development of information technology has brought various conveniences to human life, but it also brings new challenges in the form of cybercrime threats. One of these threats is cyberstalking, which is the act of stalking, harassment, or threats through digital media. Cyberstalking utilizes the anonymity of technology to violate the privacy, dignity, and psychological safety of the victim. In Indonesia, the regulation of cyberstalking is implicitly regulated through Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) or in its latest amendment, namely in Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 1 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions and the Criminal Code (KUHP). However, these regulations have not been able to cover the multidimensional dimensions of the crime, such as non-verbal harassment or emotional threats through digital media. This article analyzes cyberstalking in the perspective of Indonesian criminal law by highlighting the existing legal vacuum and the importance of regulatory reform based on the principles of legality, legal certainty, and protection of individual rights. Recommendations include revising the ITE Law, strengthening the capacity of law enforcers, and increasing public awareness to deal holistically with the threat of cyberstalking. With these steps, it is hoped that legal protection for victims can be improved in line with technological developments.

Digital transformation has reconstructed the marketing landscape, presenting TikTok as a narrative and affective space in shaping consumption decisions. This study investigates the interaction between Storytelling Marketing (STM), Electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM), and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) in mediating One Piece comic purchase intention. With a PLS-SEM approach to 385 respondents, it was found that STM and e-WOM not only have a direct impact on purchasing decisions, but also form a psychological resonance in the form of FOMO which strengthens consumptive urges. TikTok in this case is not just a medium, but an affective field where perceptions, emotions, and social impulses intertwine, blurring the line between narrative and economic decisions. This finding confirms the role of content strategy as a construction of meaning that activates symbolic ownership through collective emotional urgency.

The rapid growth of social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Instagram, has exposed students to various types of content—both constructive and harmful. Negative content such as toxic comments, body shaming, false self-image, and hate speech can pose serious risks to students’ mental health. This study aims to explore the psychological impact of such exposure among junior and senior high school students using a literature review approach. The method involved a systematic analysis of relevant academic publications from the past five years (2020–2025), focusing on the effects of negative digital content on students’ mental well-being. The findings indicate that frequent exposure to toxic comments, body shaming, unrealistic portrayals, and cyberbullying correlates with increased anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and sleep disturbances. These outcomes emphasize the need for improved digital literacy, stronger parental and educational supervision, and preventative strategies in schools to support students in navigating social media responsibly. This study is expected to provide a theoretical foundation and practical considerations for future educational and psychosocial policies addressing the mental health impacts of social media on adolescents.

Baby blues syndrome is a common condition experienced by mothers after childbirth and can negatively impact both the mother and her baby. Several contributing factors include lack of mental preparedness due to young maternal age and limited parenting experience, as well as the number of children a mother has. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the occurrence of baby blues syndrome at the Teling Community Health Center in Manado. This was an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique applied was simple random sampling with a total of 59 respondents. Data collection was conducted using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the SPSS program and the Chi-Square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results revealed a significant relationship between maternal age and the occurrence of baby blues syndrome (P-value = 0.000 < α 0.05), as well as between parity and baby blues syndrome (P-value = 0.008 < α 0.05). In conclusion, maternal age and parity are significantly correlated with the occurrence of baby blues syndrome at the Teling Health Center. It is recommended that nurses, as healthcare providers, address not only the physical needs of postpartum mothers but also their psychological well-being. Early identification of emotional disturbances and collaboration with other healthcare professionals in providing counseling and promoting bonding between mother and baby during the postpartum period are essential to ensure optimal maternal mental health and healthy infant development

This study aims to understand the considerations of female consumers in making decisions to purchase skincare products with the main focus on the price aspect. The background of this research is based on the increasing competition in the skincare market and the shift in consumer preferences for products that are not only judged by quality, but also by affordability. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with six female informants who actively use skincare products and are domiciled in South Jakarta. The results show that perceptions of price are very diverse. Some consumers consider price as an indicator of quality, while others consider the economic value and effectiveness of the product more. Additionally, purchasing decisions are influenced by various factors such as income, skin needs, promotional strategies, and social media influence. In responding to prices, they also vary, ranging from waiting for promos to trying alternative brands that are more affordable. These findings reinforce Kotler and Keller's (2016) theory of personal and psychological factors in purchasing decisions, as well as being relevant to Monroe's theory of price perception. This research provides important implications for skincare business people in designing pricing and marketing strategies that are more adaptive to consumer behavior.
