Background: Stroke is a health condition that significantly impacts quality of life and causes physical and mental disability, as well as death, in both productive and elderly individuals. The loss of bodily functions in stroke patients can hinder productivity and reduce the fulfillment of ADL (Activities of Daily Living). Dependence in ADL is the inability to perform all or some activities and the need for assistance from others. The high incidence of stroke in patients and its role as a leading cause of disability makes it difficult for stroke patients to perform daily activities, causing mental and emotional disturbances, reducing productivity and quality of life. The loss of independence and mobility in stroke patients necessitates family support, as they play a crucial role in the care and rehabilitation of their loved ones. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between family support and the fulfillment of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients. Methods: This study employed a correlational analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. A purposive sampling technique was used for the sample, employing 89 respondents. Data analysis used the Spearman rank sum. Results: The Spearman rank sum analysis yielded a ρ value of 0.000, less than 0.05, and an r value of 0.827 (very strong). Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a very strong relationship between family support and the fulfillment of daily needs (ADL) in stroke patients at Sunan Kalijaga Regional General Hospital, Demak.

This study aims to understand the dynamics of children’s communication within families after parental infidelity in Subang Regency, with a focus on conflict, problem-solving strategies, and conformity. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method, with data collected through purposive sampling involving four key informants and five supporting informants. The findings indicate that post-affair conflicts often lead to children’s withdrawal from family interactions, while problem-solving efforts are not always successful in restoring trust and repairing family relationships due to unresolved emotional wounds. Children’s conformity tends to become increasingly closed and restrictive, with the family no longer functioning as a safe space to express feelings and share concerns. Parental infidelity significantly disrupts family communication, particularly in parent–child interactions, as children tend to feel insecure, lose trust, and adopt rigid or defensive communication patterns. This condition reflects a broader psychological impact in which children experience emotional distress, confusion, and difficulties in establishing meaningful relationships. Moreover, the study highlights that unresolved family communication breakdowns may contribute to long-term consequences, such as reduced self-esteem and heightened vulnerability to stress. The research underscores the importance of maintaining open, honest, and empathetic communication to support children’s emotional recovery after parental infidelity. It also recommends seeking professional assistance, such as counselors or psychologists, when families are unable to independently rebuild healthy communication patterns. This provides not only emotional relief but also preventive measures for further deterioration of family relationships.

This study examines how women construct their social roles in managing dual responsibilities and maintaining work life balance through participation in the Women’s Cycling Community (WCC) Bandung. Using the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, which includes objectivation, externalization, and internalization, this research applies a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The key informants were members of WCC Bandung, while supporting informants included husbands, children, and a psychologist. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing with validity tested through triangulation and member checking. The findings show that women do not perceive dual roles as a burden but as an integral part of their identities. Family support, effective communication, and the presence of community are crucial in developing time management strategies and maintaining balance between domestic and professional responsibilities. The study also reveals that involvement in WCC Bandung provides women with a platform to express themselves, build solidarity, and gain emotional support from peers who share similar challenges. Cycling activities are not only a hobby but also serve as a medium for stress release, physical health improvement, and social networking. The study concludes that participation in WCC Bandung helps women construct an empowered, flexible, and harmonious self-identity through social support and a positive community environment, ultimately shaping a more holistic understanding of work life balance in their everyday lives.

This Community Service Program aims to strengthen the basic English language skills of children aged 5-12 in RW 03 Kalibaru, Cilincing, North Jakarta. Initial observations revealed low vocabulary mastery and a lack of confidence in communication among these children. With foreign language literacy rates for primary school-aged children in coastal North Jakarta at only 27.5%, non-formal educational intervention is crucial to support their school learning. As part of a university community service program (KKN), this initiative was carried out over three meetings with 30 children. The method used was Participatory Action Research (PAR), which emphasizes active collaboration between program facilitators and the community. The program's implementation included introducing basic materials such as the alphabet, numbers, colors, and vocabulary related to animals and family members, as well as practicing simple conversations like self-introductions and greetings. The learning methods applied were highly interactive, integrating educational games, songs, visualization, and role-playing. The evaluation, using pre-test and post-test instruments, showed a significant improvement in the participants' understanding. The average initial score increased sharply from 68.5 to 85.7, representing a 17.2-point or approximately 25% increase. This improvement proves the effectiveness of the interactive methods used in strengthening material mastery. Furthermore, the program successfully fostered an inclusive and enjoyable learning environment. A social change was observed in the form of increased self-confidence among the children when using English, a willingness to speak in front of their friends, and positive interactions among participants. Overall, this program not only succeeded in enhancing basic English skills but also fostered social transformation through increased confidence and positive interaction. Although challenges such as varying levels of understanding and limited learning media were encountered.

This study examines effects of resilience, social support, and psychological well-being on employee performance at CV Duta Jaya Tehnic. Resilience refers to an individual’s capacity to handle work pressure and challenges. Social support includes assistance from coworkers and family. Psychological well-being denotes a healthy mental state. The study proposed significant partial and joint effects for the three predictors. A quantitative survey design was used. Questionnaires were distributed to 38 employees. Multiple linear regression evaluated partial and joint relationships between predictors and performance. Results show a significant positive effect of resilience on performance (p = 0.001 < 0.05). Social support (p = 0.573) and psychological well-being (p = 0.700) show no significant partial effects. Jointly, the three predictors explain performance significantly (p < 0.001). The findings highlight a central role for personal resilience in improving performance at CV Duta Jaya Tehnic, while social support and psychological well-being show no standalone effect within this sample. Overall, the regression model with the three predictors provides meaningful explanatory power for employee performance in this company. Managerial implications follow from the evidence. Prioritize initiatives to build resilience, including brief coping-skill sessions, energy management, and recovery practices. Maintain support systems and well-being programs, yet direct resources first toward resilience building.

PT. Indosato Jaya Makmur is a company engaged in the culinary sector through the operation of a family restaurant called Washoku Sato, which serves authentic Japanese cuisine. The company is committed to maintaining taste quality, hygiene, and production consistency by utilizing mostly locally sourced raw materials. However, the company faces a serious challenge in the form of high employee turnover intention, which can negatively affect operational continuity, team stability, and service quality. This study aims to analyze the influence of workload (X1) and job satisfaction (X2) on turnover intention (Y). A quantitative research approach was employed, with data collected through the distribution of Likert-scale questionnaires to 86 permanent employees as respondents. The data were analyzed using a series of statistical tests, including validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The findings reveal that workload has a positive and significant effect on turnover intention, indicating that the higher the workload perceived by employees, the greater their tendency to leave the company. Conversely, job satisfaction has a negative and significant effect, suggesting that higher job satisfaction reduces the likelihood of turnover intention. Simultaneously, both independent variables significantly influence turnover intention, with an Adjusted R² value of 35.6%, while the remaining 64.4% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. These findings emphasize the importance of balanced workload management and continuous efforts to improve job satisfaction in order to minimize turnover intention and support the company’s operational sustainability.

The problem of Out-of-School Children (OSC) in Lebak Village, Grabag Subdistrict, Magelang Regency, represents a complex educational issue that requires appropriate handling strategies. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the high number of OSC while evaluating the strategies implemented by Universitas Tidar students through the Community Service Program (KKN) in addressing this challenge. The findings reveal three main causes of OSC: zoning, learning motivation, and local culture. The zoning factor is related to limited access to public schools due to distance, while low learning motivation emerges from the lack of family support. Cultural factors are reflected in parents’ tendency to prioritize religious education in traditional Islamic boarding schools that do not follow a formal curriculum, which results in children not receiving general education diplomas. The strategies applied by KKN students included socialization about the importance of education to both students and parents, installing learning schedule banners to build study discipline, and providing direct mentoring for children at risk of becoming OSC. This approach highlights the importance of collaboration among families, schools, communities, and the government in creating a supportive environment for children’s education. The outcomes of the program show an increase in community awareness regarding the importance of formal education and the emergence of renewed motivation among children to continue schooling. Thus, it can be concluded that the KKN strategies contributed positively to reducing the number of OSC and can serve as a sustainable model of community empowerment in the field of education.

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a specialized unit in a hospital that provides intensive care and close monitoring for critically ill patients. This unit is equipped with advanced medical equipment such as ventilators and hemodynamic monitors, and has a high staffing ratio to ensure optimal care (Smith & Jones, 2020; Brown et al., 2019; Williams & Green, 2021).  The multidisciplinary team in the ICU, including specialist physicians and trained nurses, works together to meet the medical and psychological needs of patients (Taylor, 2022; Miller & Adams, 2018). According to the WHO (2023), 10–20% of hospital patients require ICU care. In Indonesia, ICU patients account for approximately 15% of total hospital patients (Kusuma, 2021). Data from Dr. Moewardi Regional Hospital (RSUD) shows an increasing trend in ICU patients, primarily due to infectious diseases (Ministry of Health, 2021). Meanwhile, in the ICU of Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital (RSI Sultan Agung Semarang), 1,278 patients were admitted between January and October 2024, with the most cases being respiratory failure (143 patients). This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of conscious patients treated in the ICU and met the inclusion criteria, with 71 respondents.  The research instrument used a validated questionnaire to measure family support, therapeutic communication, and anxiety levels. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman test. Based on the Spearman test, the 71 respondents were found to have the following characteristics: the highest age group was early elderly (36.6%), the highest gender was male (64.8%), the highest education level was high school (45.1%), the highest occupation was 80.3%, high family support (74.6%), good therapeutic communication (90.1%), and mild anxiety (59.2%). There is a significant relationship between family support and patient anxiety levels. Furthermore, therapeutic communication also significantly reduced patient anxiety levels in the ICU at Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital, Semarang.

Alcohol abuse is a serious issue that not only affects the individual experiencing addiction but also has profound consequences for families, particularly parents. Parents often face significant emotional, social, and psychological burdens when dealing with a child struggling with alcohol dependence. This study aims to gain an in-depth understanding of parental acceptance of children with alcohol addiction. The research employed a qualitative phenomenological approach with two parents as participants, each having a child with alcohol dependence. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, which allowed for a rich exploration of personal experiences, and analyzed using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) technique. The thematic analysis revealed six major themes: the dynamics of parent–child interactions, emotional responses of parents, changes in the child’s behavior due to addiction, the influence of parents’ past experiences, self-harming behavior as a coping mechanism, and the normalization of the child’s behavior. Findings indicate that parents’ past experiences, including trauma and parenting patterns, strongly influenced how they accepted their child’s condition. Furthermore, maladaptive coping strategies, such as self-harm, emerged as part of the acceptance process when parents faced situations beyond their control. This study underscores the importance of trauma-informed family interventions to help parents develop healthier coping mechanisms. It also highlights the need for comprehensive psychoeducational programs that involve all family members to foster resilience and mutual support. In doing so, the research contributes to the development of more effective psychological support systems for families affected by alcohol addiction.
