This study aims to analyze the influence of entertainment content consumption on TikTok toward the stress levels of university students. TikTok has become one of the most frequently used social media platforms among young adults, offering entertainment, distraction, and emotional relief. Meanwhile, academic stress is a common issue among students due to heavy coursework, deadlines, and pressure to perform. This research uses a quantitative method with a survey distributed to 100 active university students aged 18–24 who own a TikTok account and consume entertainment content such as comedy, challenges, and viral videos. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The results show that the overall frequency of using TikTok for entertainment is very high (mean = 4.26), while the level of academic stress also falls into the high category (mean = 4.06). Regression analysis indicates that TikTok entertainment content significantly affects students’ stress levels (p < 0.001). Result found is positive, meaning higher TikTok usage is associated with higher stress. The significance value based on the simple linear regression coefficient table is 0.000 < 0.05, so it can be concluded that the variable Use of TikTok Entertainment Content (X) has an effect on the variable Stress Levels Among Students (Y).

This research aims to describe the forms and functions of expressive speech acts found in the film “Perayaan Mati Rasa” by Umay Shahab. This film was chosen because it showcases various forms of emotional expression that reflect the reality of everyday communication. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The data, consisting of the characters' utterances in the film, were collected thru observation and note-taking techniques, then analyzed using Chaer's theory of speech acts. The research results indicate that there are six types of expressive speech acts in this film: expressing gratitude, apologizing, praising, showing sympathy, expressing anger/disappointment, and praying/hoping. Each type of speech act has a different social function, such as building emotional closeness, improving social relationships, expressing empathy, and affirming moral values in interactions between characters. This finding suggests that the film “Perayaan Mati Rasa” not only represents emotional conflict but also depicts the dynamics of human communication laden with social and psychological values. The results of this research are expected to serve as a reference in pragmatic studies and discourse analysis, particularly in the analysis of expressive speech acts in literary works or film media.

This study explores the dissemination of Sufi teachings through the TikTok account @Al.Amiin.id, highlighting how visual aesthetics, symbolism, and narrative techniques play a role in conveying spiritual messages to young audiences in the digital era. Using a qualitative approach with a critical case study strategy, this research analyses how elements such as colour, light, music, and spiritual metaphors are combined with reflective emotional narratives to preserve the depth of Sufi teachings. Drawing on Stig Hjarvard’s perspective on the mediatization of Religion, the study examines how social media not only functions as a channel for message dissemination but also reshapes religious practices and experiences. The findings reveal that @Al.Amiin.id successfully utilises the logic of digital media—such as short duration, visual aesthetics, algorithms, and trends—as instruments to present Sufism in the form of personal and easily comprehensible micro-narratives. This strategy demonstrates that Sufi preaching undergoes a process of mediatization, in which spiritual values are not merely transmitted but also reconstructed to align with the consumption patterns and cultural sensibilities of digital generations. The study further emphasises that despite the risks of commodification and simplification, Sufi preaching on social media can still preserve its spiritual depth through adaptive approaches. This research contributes to the study of how religious practices are transformed by digital media, offering a model of Sufi preaching that is communicative, inclusive, and relevant in the era of algorithms.

This study aims to examine the contribution of educational psychology in the context of Christian education, particularly for educators, school principals, Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers, Sunday school teachers, pastors, elders, and church servants. This theoretical study shows that educational psychology helps in understanding the characteristics of learners, optimizing teaching methods, building effective teacher-student relationships, and enhancing motivation and involvement in the learning and preaching process. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through a review of books, literature, journals, notes, and relevant reports. Educational psychology plays a significant role for all those involved in Christian education and ministry. CRE teachers and Sunday school teachers have a crucial role in instilling faith values in the younger generation by understanding the learning needs of children according to their cognitive and spiritual development stages. This enables them to deliver God's word in an engaging and meaningful way. Meanwhile, pastors, elders, and church servants require an understanding of educational psychology to carry out more wise pastoral ministry. Psychological understanding helps them provide spiritual guidance, counseling, and support for members who are struggling. Educational psychology also equips church servants to lead with empathy, listen with their hearts, and guide the congregation towards true spiritual restoration. The integration of educational psychology with Christian faith significantly impacts the improvement of learning and church ministry, producing individuals who are intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually balanced.

In the following qualitative research, we identified the relationship of architectural styles based on Javanese Culture. The church displays a unique form of architectural acculturation from the church in general which adheres to the European Gothic style. Based on the results of the analysis, the aesthetics of the building combine the architectural style of Rome, namely wide-span buildings and flat domes with local Javanese architecture. The embodiment of Javanese culture is clearly seen in the interior in the form of reliefs and brick materials. The concept of space also puts Javanese architecture in the form of a courtyard without chairs like a Javanese Joglo house. The acculturation functions as an image of local culture so that it is maintained and makes the congregation feel comfortable and dissolve with the atmosphere of the place of worship. The presence of local cultural elements in the church building also shows respect for the values of traditional wisdom without losing the identity of Christianity itself. In addition, the combination of architecture shows that houses of worship can be designed as an inculturative space that is able to bridge the spiritual needs as well as the emotional needs of the congregation. Thus, the church building is not only a place of worship, but also a symbol of harmony between faith and culture in people's lives.

This research is motivated by the increasing number of cases of child sexual abuse that cause serious psychological impacts in the form of trauma and emotional development disorders. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the process of religious guidance through Islamic religious education counseling for child victims of sexual abuse, which includes four main aspects, namely: (1) planning religious guidance, (2) implementing religious guidance activities, (3) strengthening religious guidance, and (4) supervision in the guidance process. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The validity of the data is tested using triangulation and member check techniques. The results of the study indicate that religious guidance planning is carried out by compiling programs, scheduling activities, and evaluating the results of guidance. The implementation of activities is carried out through religious counseling, psychological approaches, and integration of spiritual values to help children understand and internalize religious teachings independently. Strengthening guidance is carried out through spiritual counseling services, psychological assistance, and legal assistance for victims. Meanwhile, supervision of guidance is carried out through optimizing the role of the community in community-based child protection groups as an integrated system to create a safe and child-friendly environment.

Modern students face high academic, social, and personal pressures, but Christian Religious Education has not yet maximized the potential of religious-based resilience. This study aims to: (1) analyze how the biblical values of faith, hope, and love can strengthen the components of students' psychological resilience in the cognitive, emotional, and spiritual dimensions; and (2) identify the integration mechanism between biblical teachings and psychological strategies in Christian Religious Education learning that can increase students' resilience in facing academic and personal stress. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach to various journals, articles, and related academic sources. The results of the study show that the biblical values of faith, hope, and love are fundamental pillars that strengthen students' psychological resilience as a whole. Faith provides a foundation of self-confidence and personal competence, hope activates optimism and sustained motivation, while love builds healthy social relationships and essential emotional support. These three values work synergistically to strengthen students' emotional regulation, problem analysis, empathy, and self-efficacy. The deep integration of biblical teachings and psychology in PAK learning through biblical narratives, secure parenting relationships, supportive communities, and reflective feedback has proven effective in holistically improving student resilience. In conclusion, PAK learning that explicitly integrates biblical values with psychological resilience strategies is a transformative instrument for shaping students into individuals who not only perform well academically but are also spiritually strong, psychologically resilient, and ready to face complex life situations in accordance with the principles of 1 Corinthians 13:13 regarding faith, hope, and love

This study aims to examine the implementation of guidance and counseling services at SMPIT Miftahul Falah Karawang, focusing on the counseling approaches applied and the challenges faced by counseling teachers during the process. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method using observation and interviews as data collection techniques. The results reveal that guidance and counseling services are carried out through a humanistic and persuasive approach grounded in Islamic values. The counseling teacher serves as a facilitator who understands students’ emotional conditions and guides them toward behavioral improvement based on awareness and responsibility. This approach creates a supportive environment that encourages openness and mutual trust between the teacher and students. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including the limited number of counselors, students’ varying levels of openness, and insufficient coordination among teachers in addressing student issues. These findings highlight the importance of institutional support through the enhancement of human resources, continuous professional development, and stronger collaboration between counseling teachers and school administrators. Such efforts are expected to strengthen the role of guidance and counseling services as a medium for character education in accordance with Islamic principles.

The Interpersonal and Communication Skills course plays an important role in equipping elementary teacher education (PGSD) students with the ability to build positive relationships, understand others’ feelings, and communicate information effectively. These skills are believed to influence success in the Guidance and Counseling course, which requires students to understand socio-emotional dynamics and analyze problems based on theory. This study aims to determine the relationship between the final grades of the Interpersonal and Communication Skills course and the Guidance and Counseling course among PGSD students. This research employed a quantitative correlational approach. The sample consisted of 28 PGSD students from the University of Riau, class of 2023, group B, who had completed both courses in the fourth semester. Data were obtained from the final grades of both courses and analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.146 with a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.458 (p > 0.05). These findings indicate that there is no significant relationship between the two variables. The results suggest that students’ academic achievement in the Guidance and Counseling course is more strongly influenced by theoretical mastery and analytical skills rather than differences in grades in the Interpersonal and Communication Skills course.

The concept of hubuddunya (love of the world) within the Akidah Akhlak subject holds a strategic role in shaping the moral and spiritual character of students, particularly in the midst of globalization, materialism, and consumerist culture that increasingly influence young generations. This study seeks to critically analyze the teaching materials of Akidah Akhlak for Grade X at MA YASPI Cicantayan, focusing on the hubuddunya topic. The main objective is to evaluate the relevance, depth, and effectiveness of these materials in fostering students’ awareness of moral values, as well as their ability to apply Islamic principles in daily life. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, collecting data through documentation of learning resources, observation of lesson plans (RPP), and in-depth interviews with teachers. The data analysis process was conducted through reduction, classification, and interpretation of findings to obtain a comprehensive picture of the existing instructional practices. The results reveal that the current teaching materials tend to remain highly theoretical and emphasize the transfer of knowledge rather than transformative learning. Consequently, they do not adequately address contextual issues faced by students in their real-life environment. The affective and psychomotor aspects of students’ moral development are not optimally stimulated, leaving a gap between conceptual understanding and practical application. Furthermore, essential Islamic values such as zuhud (detachment from excessive worldliness), qanaah (contentment), and tawakal (trust in God) have not been integrated effectively as counterbalances to materialistic tendencies. The implications of this study underline the urgency of developing Akidah Akhlak teaching materials that are more contextual, student-centered, and relevant to contemporary challenges. Such materials should not only transmit religious knowledge but also foster reflective thinking, emotional maturity, and behavioral consistency, thereby preparing students to face globalization with strong faith, resilience, and anti-materialistic attitudes.

The results indicate that among 51 respondents, the level of anxiety is in a medium state, as 26 respondents (51.0%), family support is in the high category, 47 respondents (92.2%), with a P-value 0.026 (P-value < 0.05). In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between family support and preoperative anxiety at Meuraxa General Hospital Banda Aceh. Families are expected to continuously provide emotional, informational, instrumental, and appraisal support so that patients feel calmer, are able to reduce excessive anxiety, and are better prepared to undergo surgery.

In Islam, the family is a spiritual institution that plays a central role in shaping human psychological and moral balance. However, modernization, individualism, and value disorientation have led to rising psychological crises and disharmony in Muslim households. This issue requires a scientific approach that goes beyond legal-normative perspectives toward an integrative psychological understanding. This study aims to analyze the concept of Sakinah, Mawaddah, and Rahmah from a psychological perspective to formulate a contextual and applicable model of family well-being. The research employs a qualitative library research method by synthesizing Islamic sources (Qur’an, Hadith, and classical scholarship) with contemporary psychological theories of emotional well-being and spiritual intelligence. The findings reveal that Sakinah represents spiritual-emotional equilibrium, Mawaddah functions as an ethical and transcendental affective energy, and Rahmah embodies compassionate empathy that nurtures healing and forgiveness. Together, these values constitute the Islamic Family Well-Being Model, an integrative paradigm that situates spirituality as emotional regulation, love as affective force, and compassion as moral regulator. This model asserts that genuine harmony in Muslim families can only be achieved through psycho-spiritual balance grounded in divine values.

This study analyzes the role of families and caregivers at Panti Sosial Tresna Werdha Wana Seraya Denpasar in implementing elderly care programs and examines the implications of these programs for the quality of life of older adults. Using a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Two theoretical frameworks guided the analysis: Carrolyn Smith-Morris’ Social Support Theory, which highlights the importance of emotional, informational, and instrumental support for elderly well-being, and Robert J. Havighurst’s Activity Theory, which states that active involvement in social, physical, and spiritual activities enhances happiness and life satisfaction in old age. The findings show that families’ involvement remains limited due to time and distance constraints, yet their emotional presence still contributes positively to the psychological comfort of the elderly. Caregivers play a dominant role in meeting the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of residents. The care program demonstrates positive implications, including improved health stability, increased social interaction, strengthened feelings of appreciation, and enhanced spiritual peace. Additionally, Balinese cultural values such as tatwam asi and menyama braya reinforce empathy, togetherness, and respectful relationships within the care system. The study concludes that synergy between families, caregivers, and local cultural values forms a crucial foundation for a meaningful and humane elderly care system.
