This study aims to describe the perspectives of Akidah Akhlak teachers on the implementation of moral education through the teaching of the Ta’lim al-Muta’allim book as a strategy to prevent bullying at MTs Islamiyah Syafiiyah Sedan. The background of the study is the growing prevalence of bullying in schools, including verbal, physical, and social forms, which demands an approach to moral education that not only transfers knowledge but also internalizes values essential for shaping students’ character and self-control. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method using interviews, observations, and documentation. The research subjects are Akidah Akhlak teachers who directly teach Ta’lim al-Muta’allim. The data were analyzed through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that teachers view the book as strategically valuable for developing students’ moral character because it provides guidance on proper conduct toward teachers, peers, knowledge, and the learning environment. According to the teachers, applying the values presented in the text helps foster respect, empathy, and social responsibility, which contributes to preventing bullying behaviors. In classroom practice, teachers integrate these values through exemplary behavior, contextual advice, and reflective discussions following reading activities. Thus, the teaching of Ta’lim al-Muta’allim serves not only as academic material but also as a medium for instilling moral values that support the creation of a school culture grounded in good morals and free from bullying. These efforts strengthen students’ awareness and encourage positive daily interactions within the school.

Children's socio-emotional development is an important aspect that plays a role in their ability to recognize, understand, express, and regulate emotions, as well as interact adaptively in social environments. The family serves as the first environment that provides the foundation for this development through parenting patterns, emotional relationships, daily interactions, and parental behavior models. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by analyzing scientific articles published between 2020–2025 from the Scopus, ERIC, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases. The results of the review indicate that parental responsiveness, observational learning, secure attachment, and emotional communication significantly influence children's emotion regulation and social skills. In addition, parenting styles, particularly the authoritative style, have been shown to have a positive impact on psychological well-being, self-control, and social competence, while authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful styles are associated with behavioral problems and low self-esteem. Overall, the quality of the family environment and patterns of emotional communication play a significant role in shaping children's socio-emotional development. These findings underscore the need for support and reinforcement of parenting practices in efforts to enhance children's emotional and social well-being.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by inadequate insulin action. Poor disease control can lead to complications such as neuropathy, commonly marked by tingling or sensory loss. Effective prevention requires structured management through the five pillars of diabetes care. This case study describes the application of these pillars in a patient with hyperglycemia.

The patient had limited disease knowledge and misconceptions related to diabetes self-management. Intervention: Education on the five pillars of diabetes was provided using a structured approach consisting of three self-care pillars and two collaborative pillars. Leaflet-based educational materials developed by the author were used to facilitate understanding for both the patient and family. Results: Following the intervention, the patient demonstrated increased knowledge, awareness, and improved ability to manage hyperglycemia. The family also showed enhanced understanding and support for diabetes care. Conclusion: Nurse-led education using the five pillars of diabetes effectively improves knowledge, awareness, and self-management abilities in individuals with diabetes mellitus, contributing to better glycemic control and prevention of complications.

The absence of a father or fatherlessness in a family is a serious problem that affects children's social, psychological, and educational development. This condition becomes even more complex when experienced by street children who live in limited economic conditions and lack family support. The purpose of this study is to reveal the social life of street children on Jalan Krakatau Ujung, Medan Deli District, find the factors that cause fatherlessness, and study the consequences. This study is a qualitative study conducted through a descriptive approach. Data were collected through documentation and in-depth interviews with street children, parents, and community leaders. The results of the study show that the factors causing fatherlessness include divorce, abandonment, and the death of the father. Fathers may also migrate or engage in deviant behavior, such as drug abuse. Children without parents have visible impacts in the form of psychological vulnerability, such as loneliness, lack of self-control, and lack of self-confidence; social impacts, such as difficulty socializing, vulnerability to bullying and exploitation; and educational impacts, such as lack of desire to learn and limited access to education. The lives of street children at the traffic light intersection on Jalan Krakatau Ujung show weak family functioning, especially the role of the father, which encourages children to earn their own living from an early age.

This study aims to identify the representation and manifestation of social values contained in the novel “40 Hari Takdir Itu Bernama Hidup dan Mati” (40 Days of Destiny Called Life and Death) by Adeicama. The research method used is a literature study with note-taking techniques on primary data (novels) and secondary data (related literature). Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods based on Wirawan's theory of social values, Mulyana's theory of religious values, and Nurgiyantoro's theory of literary analysis. The results show that this novel represents social values through solidarity, caring, responsibility, and criticism of technological dependence. Religious values are manifested through faith in destiny, sincerity in loss, self-control, and the role of prayer and hope. These two aspects of value are interrelated, enriching the meaning of the story and providing an understanding of how humans deal with the uncertainties of life through social norms and spiritual strength. This research contributes to the development of literary studies and literary sociology, and is relevant for increasing public appreciation and critical understanding of the function of literature as a reflection of ethical and social norms.

Premarital sexual behavior among adolescents remains a public health concern influenced by social change, technological development, and social environment. This study aims to analyze factors associated with adolescent premarital sexual behavior based on the Health Belief Model (HBM). A systematic literature review was conducted on eight studies published between 2019 and 2025, including journal articles, undergraduate theses, and a doctoral dissertation. The findings were analyzed by categorizing the results into six HBM components: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy. The results indicate that perceived susceptibility is the most consistently associated component with adolescent premarital sexual behavior. Perceived severity, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy also show significant associations in several studies, whereas perceived benefits demonstrate the weakest and most inconsistent relationship. Overall, adolescent premarital sexual behavior is shaped by the interaction between risk perception, environmental support, and individual confidence in behavioral control. These findings confirm that the Health Belief Model remains a relevant framework for designing adolescent health promotion and preventive interventions.

This study aims to analyze the forms of collaboration between teachers and parents in following up on the results of observational assessments of early childhood self-regulation development. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design in a non-formal early childhood education (PAUD) setting. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and analysis of assessment documents. The findings indicate that observational assessment serves as an initial foundation for identifying children’s abilities to manage emotions and behavior. The assessment results are then followed up through collaborative practices in the form of regular communication, exchange of information regarding children’s development, and agreements on guidance strategies between teachers and parents. The role of parents is evident in the consistent implementation of guidance strategies at home, aligned with the stimulation provided by teachers at school. This alignment of roles has been shown to strengthen children’s self-regulation development, particularly in impulse control, behavioral regulation, and the ability to follow rules. The study emphasizes that structured and continuous teacher–parent collaboration is a key factor in the effectiveness of follow-up actions based on observational assessment results in supporting early childhood social-emotional development.

This study aims to analyze in depth the role of drumband extracurricular activities in developing motor and cognitive abilities of early childhood at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 50 Kindergarten, Surabaya. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and the distribution of questionnaires involving teachers, parents, and students as research subjects. The results show that drumband activities provide a positive contribution to the development of gross and fine motor skills of children, especially through rhythmic movement exercises, hand-eye coordination, and body control when playing musical instruments. In addition to motor aspects, drumband activities also play a role in improving children's cognitive abilities, such as concentration, memory, the ability to follow instructions, and understanding musical patterns and rhythms. Children's active participation in drumband activities also helps shape discipline, the ability to work together in groups, and increases children's self-confidence. Thus, drumband extracurricular activities can be used as an effective and enjoyable learning medium to support the motor and cognitive development of early childhood holistically and sustainably.  

Smoking behavior among adolescents in Indonesia remains a serious public health challenge with increasing prevalence. Adolescence is a vulnerable period where psychological factors and the social environment significantly influence the decision to smoke. This study aims to review the factors influencing smoking behavior among adolescents based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) theoretical framework. This study is a literature review that analyzes various research findings related to the determinants of smoking behavior using HBM components. The analysis shows that all dimensions of HBM play a role in shaping smoking behavior. Self-efficacy and perceived susceptibility were found to be the strongest predictors. Although adolescents have a good perceived severity of the dangers of smoking, they are often hindered by high perceived barriers, such as peer pressure and psychological dependence. Consistent cues to action and perceived benefits are proven to encourage prevention and smoking cessation efforts. Adolescent smoking behavior is strongly influenced by individual beliefs in self-ability and health risks. Health interventions should focus on strengthening self-control and managing social influences to reduce the number of adolescent smokers.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM type 2) is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by elevated blood glucose due to insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. Its prevalence continues to rise worldwide, including in Indonesia. Psychological stress is known to worsen glycemic control by activating the sympathetic nervous system and increasing cortisol levels, which can cause fluctuations in blood glucose. This case report aims to describe the effect of combining Benson relaxation techniques with warm foot soaking on blood glucose regulation in a type 2 DM patient. The subject was Mrs. M, a 52-year-old woman diagnosed with type 2 DM. The intervention was conducted for seven consecutive days and consisted of daily Benson relaxation followed by warm foot soaking for 15–20 minutes. Blood glucose levels were measured before and after each session using a glucometer and analyzed descriptively. After seven days, the patient’s blood glucose level decreased from 248 mg/dL to 186 mg/dL. She also reported improved relaxation, better sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and decreased fatigue. These findings suggest that Benson relaxation helps activate the parasympathetic response and reduce stress hormones, while warm foot soaking supports improved circulation and metabolic processes. In conclusion, the combination of Benson relaxation and warm foot soaking is a simple, safe, and effective complementary therapy to support blood glucose regulation in type 2 DM patients. This intervention can be integrated into self-care routines and community nursing practice as part of evidence-based non-pharmacological management.

This study aims to examine the effect of group counseling services using the cognitive therapy technique on improving students’ self-efficacy at MTs Negeri Pematangsiantar. The research was motivated by initial findings that several students had low self-efficacy levels, which negatively impacted their learning motivation. This quantitative research employed a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 16 eighth-grade students with low self-efficacy, divided into an experimental group (8 students) and a control group (8 students), selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a self-efficacy scale with a reliability coefficient of α = 0.975. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney test. The results revealed a significant difference between the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups (Asymp. Sig. = 0.005 < 0.05). The experimental group’s mean score increased from 39.375 (low category) to 53.5 (moderate category), while the control group only increased from 40.143 to 44.143 (remaining in the low category). These findings indicate that group counseling services using cognitive therapy are effective in enhancing students’ self-efficacy. The study recommends that school counselors apply this technique sustainably to help students develop positive thinking patterns, increase motivation, and strengthen confidence in facing academic and personal challenges.

The high incidence of risky sexual behavior among adolescents is caused by several factors, such as the environment and low selfcontrol. Adolescents living in former red-light districts are at higher risk of risky sexual behavior due to environmental factors and a lack of self-control. Therefore, appropriate psychoeducational media are needed to help improve adolescents' selfcontrol so that risky sexual behavior can be prevented. This study aims to determine the content validity of the ‘SCOUPER’ self-control psychoeducation module as a preventive measure against risky sexual behavior among adolescents in former red-light districts. This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with a 3D model (Define, Design, and Develop). The define stage analyzed the needs of adolescents, the design stage developed the self-control psychoeducation module, and the develop stage included validity testing with rating scores by experts or validators. The data analysis used in this study was descriptive analysis with Aiken's V formula and validator input. The validity test results showed that the SCOUPER self-control psychoeducation module scored between 0.75 and 1,00 in the high – very high category. Based on the validity test results, the SCOUPER module can be concluded to be valid for use with some suggestions and improvements from the validator. The SCOUPER self-control psychoeducation module is valid in terms of content, construct, and language, and has the potential to be used as a preventive medium in preventing risky sexual behavior among adolescents, especially in former red-light districts.

The rapid development of financial technology has transformed transactional behavior, particularly among Generation Z. Easy access through mobile banking, particularly BCA Mobile, has made financial activities more practical but also poses risks of consumptive behavior due to low financial literacy and self-control.

Modern education often falls short in nurturing character, as it tends to prioritize cognitive achievement over holistic development producing students who excel academically but lack independence, creativity, and moral strength. This study seeks to explore the concept of Tarbiyah Based on Khudi (Ego/Selfhood) inspired by Muhammad Iqbal, positioning it as a philosophical and pedagogical framework to address the current character crisis and cultivate Independent and Creative individuals toward the realization of Insan Kamil (the Perfect Human). Employing a qualitative method through a library research approach, this study conceptually examines the three fundamental pillars of Khudi development: Obedience (Ita’at)/Discipline, Self-Mastery (Dabt-i-Zabt)/Self-Control, and Vicegerency (Niyabat-i-Ilahiyyah)/Creativity. The findings indicate that Khudi-based Tarbiyah serves as an effective integrative framework. Genuine independence arises from self-control, fostering responsible freedom and autonomy, while creativity embodies the essence of vicegerency through a continuous spirit of Ijtihad that drives social innovation and civilizational progress. Ultimately, Khudi ensures spiritual independence and moral vitality. The study recommends adopting progressive and dynamic learning models such as project-based learning aligned with the Khudi philosophy to integrate affective and psychomotor dimensions into Indonesia’s character education.
