The elderly population in Indonesia, particularly in Surabaya, has been growing significantly, making the need for facilities serving the elderly increasingly urgent. Elderly rehabilitation services must be provided holistically, covering four main aspects: social, health, psychological, and spiritual. However, the implementation of holistic services in some nursing homes still shows differences in quality and has not fully met the expected standards. This study aims to analyze and compare holistic services in two nursing homes, namely Griya Lansia Husnul Khatimah in Malang and UPTD Griya Wreda Jambangan in Surabaya. The method used in this study is descriptive-qualitative comparison, with a field observation approach and a literature review to establish assessment criteria based on the four aspects of holistic services. The research results show that both nursing homes analyzed have shortcomings in the social and psychological service aspects. This indicates a gap in the quality of services received by the elderly in both homes, which needs attention to ensure that holistic services can be applied more effectively and in line with the established standards. This study is expected to provide recommendations for improving the quality of services in nursing homes in Indonesia.

Self-confidence is an important psychological aspect that affects students' academic, social, and emotional success. Students with low self-confidence often struggle with interactions, expressing opinions, and optimizing their academic potential, which can negatively impact their personal development in school. Therefore, this issue requires attention through appropriate guidance and counseling services. This study aims to review various guidance and counseling strategies to address low self-confidence in students based on a literature review of the last six years. The method used is a library study with a traditional literature review approach, analyzing 15 national and international journal articles. The results indicate that low self-confidence is influenced by internal factors (such as negative self-concept and low self-efficacy) and external factors (such as bullying experiences and lack of social support). The impacts include decreased academic performance, social barriers, and negative emotions such as anxiety. Various guidance strategies, such as individual counseling, group counseling with sociodrama, and empathetic teacher communication, have proven effective in enhancing students' self-confidence. These findings suggest that low self-confidence is not a permanent condition but can be addressed through planned and ongoing guidance interventions. .

Bullying is a social problem that still frequently occurs in elementary school settings and may negatively affect children’s psychological development. Improving knowledge from an early age is one of the preventive efforts to reduce bullying behavior. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the educational snakes and ladders game as a learning medium in improving students’ knowledge about bullying at SD Negeri 3 Wonorejo, Karanganyar. This study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The subjects were 23 fourth- and fifth-grade students. The instrument was a questionnaire assessing knowledge of bullying. The results showed an increase in the students’ average knowledge scores after the intervention using the Snakes and Ladders game. This medium was proven to deliver educational messages in an interesting, enjoyable, and effective way, while also encouraging positive interaction among students during the learning process. The educational snakes and ladders game can therefore be used as an alternative educational medium for bullying prevention in elementary schools.

The low motivation of students in memorizing the Qur’an at the Tahfidz House in Ciranjeng Village has become a problem that encourages the implementation of the tahfidz graduation program as an innovation in learning development. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the tahfidz graduation program and its effect on increasing students’ motivation in memorizing the Qur’an. The problems examined include the implementation process of the program, changes in students’ motivation before and after the program, and the effectiveness of the program in supporting memorization achievement. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach and an action research design. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis is carried out descriptively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the tahfidz graduation program is able to significantly increase students’ motivation, as indicated by improved discipline, consistency in memorization, and increased memorization achievements. In addition, parental involvement and appreciation through the graduation program have a positive psychological impact on students, encouraging them to be more enthusiastic in memorizing the Qur’an.

The digital era demands a fundamental transformation in the role of early childhood educators, shifting from passive technology consumers to active architects of digital literacy. However, the dominance of technocentric views often acts as a substantial psychological and pedagogical barrier for teachers in regional areas. This collaborative community service project aims to reconstruct the paradigm of 50 kindergarten teachers in Bulukumba Regency by integrating "unplugged coding" logic and deep learning into play-based learning. Utilizing a Product-Based Intensive Training method with a "Logic over Laptop" strategy, the program focused on deconstructing technology-related stigmas and reconstructing teachers' ability to transform abstract concepts into safe, concrete media for children. Data analysis revealed a significant shift in teacher paradigms; while the majority were initially in the "less successful" category, 100% of participants reached positive categories (successful and very successful) post-intervention. Statistically, the program's effectiveness was evidenced by a dramatic increase in mean scores from 18.04 to 31.24 (p < 0.05) and an N-Gain score of 0.778, classified as highly effective. Furthermore, the partner satisfaction index reached 4.82 (very satisfied), confirming that the tri-campus collaboration model (STAI Al-Gazali, UNM, and Unismuh) is highly relevant to the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum. This project concludes that strengthening digital literacy through non-digital algorithmic reasoning effectively dismantles technical barriers for teachers while ensuring the safety of child development in the digital age.

Drug misuse continues to be a complicated social and legal issue that has an impact on societal stability, public health, and personal wellbeing. Many criminal justice systems have moved away from punitive tactics in favor of rehabilitation-focused ones in recent years, especially for drug users who are frequently viewed as sufferers of addiction rather than serious criminals. The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) in Indonesia is implementing rehabilitation programs and restorative justice processes as a result of this change. This study investigates the efficacy of restorative justice in drug rehabilitation at Jambi Province's National Narcotics Agency and evaluates its applicability from the standpoint of Islamic law, specifically the framework of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. The study uses a case study design and a qualitative methodology. Participant observation, document analysis, and in-depth interviews with BNN officials, rehabilitation counselors, medical staff, and ex-drug users were used to gather data. The results show that an integrated evaluation system that assesses drug users' physical, psychological, and social states in order to determine their eligibility for recovery is used to institutionally apply restorative justice principles. Combining medical care, psychological counseling, and social reintegration programs, the rehabilitation programs greatly aid in participants' recuperation, enhance psychological stability, and fortify familial ties. Additionally, by promoting individual responsibility, family support, and community involvement, restorative justice-based rehabilitation lowers the risk of recidivism. From the standpoint of Islamic legal philosophy, these actions are consistent with the goals of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, specifically the defense of human dignity, life (ḥifḍ al-nafs), and intellect (ḥifḍ al-ʿaql). According to the study's findings, restorative justice-based rehabilitation is a compassionate and successful method of treating drug dependency while encouraging social reintegration and long-term recovery.

Adolescence is a period of change or transition from childhood to adulthood, encompassing biological, psychological, and social changes. Adolescent girls experience menstruation every month, which puts them at risk of anemia, compounded by poor dietary habits and the failure to consume iron tablets. Rapid adolescent growth is linked to nutritional fulfillment or adolescent consumption of nutrients, one of which is iron consumption. Insufficient iron consumption can lead to anemia in adolescents. Strategies to address anemia in adolescent girls include improving dietary intake and providing iron tablet supplementation. Changing dietary patterns is an important long-term strategy, but cannot be expected to be successful quickly. Anemia is a global health problem, especially in developing countries, where an estimated 30% of the world's population suffers from anemia. Adolescent girls are ten times more likely to suffer from anemia than boys. Efforts to prevent anemia in adolescents through iron tablet supplementation are a strategic, specific intervention to prepare healthy mothers-to-be. The aim was to determine the effect of iron (Fe) tablet administration on increasing Hb levels in adolescent girls with mild anemia. This study was quantitative, with an experimental design. The population in this study were 55 young women at the Ibu Health Center in West Halmahera Regency. A purposive sample of 30 samples was taken. Data collection in this study was carried out by examining Hb levels before and after administering iron tablets 4 times in a row for 4 weeks. The results of the study were that there was no significant difference between Hb levels before and after administering iron tablets in young women at the Ibu Health Center in West Halmahera Regency. The average Hb level before administering iron tablets was 11.5 g/dL, and after administering iron tablets was 12 g/dL. The results of the paired t-test showed a difference before and after administering iron tablets (p value = 0.001), so the test has an effect on administering iron tablets (Fe) on increasing Hb levels in young women with mild anemia in the Ibu Health Center in West Halmahera Regency.

Emotional mental health in adolescents is an important focus because this age group is highly vulnerable to academic and social pressures, as well as the demands of personal development. Emotional problems such as anxiety, stress, and depression that are not recognized early on can interfere with concentration, social relationships, and psychological well-being. This study aims to review the literature related to the early detection of emotional mental disorders in adolescents, so that it can serve as a basis for the development of prevention and intervention strategies. The method used is a literature review, analyzing a number of recent research articles discussing risk factors, symptoms, and early screening methods using instruments such as the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The results of the study show that the most common symptoms include anxiety, fatigue, concentration disorders, and relationship problems with peers in adolescents, as well as academic pressure in students. Early screening has been proven to help identify individuals at risk so that intervention can be carried out more quickly. The use of technology, such as web-based expert systems, can also speed up the screening process and improve the accuracy of assessments. It is recommended that educational institutions and health services be more active in conducting mental health screening, providing promotional education, and designing preventive programs. Further research should use analytical or experimental designs to explore risk factors and the effectiveness of interventions in greater depth.

This community service program aims to revitalize religious and social-value-based worship services for people with mental disorders (ODGJ) level 4 to support the rehabilitation process at the Sidoarjo Regency Social Service. ODGJ level 4 are individuals with mild mental disorders who still have the potential to develop socially and spiritually if they receive appropriate support. However, in practice, the rehabilitation program tends to focus on medical and psychological aspects, while spiritual guidance has not been optimally integrated. The implementation method uses a participatory approach involving companions, families, and the social environment under the coordination of the Sidoarjo Regency Social Service. The results of the activity indicate that the revitalization of religious and social-value-based worship services can increase the involvement of ODGJ in worship activities, improve social interactions, and have a positive impact on the emotional stability of participants. In addition, this program also encourages the active role of families and communities in supporting the spiritual-based rehabilitation process. Thus, the approach worship assistance based on socio-religious values ​​can be an alternative model in supporting the holistic rehabilitation of ODGJ level 4, which includes spiritual, social, and psychological aspects, especially in the context of community-based services at the Sidoarjo Regency Social Service.

Bullying remains a serious issue in elementary schools, affecting children’s psychological, social, and academic well-being. Limited student understanding of the forms and impacts of bullying encouraged students of the Community Service Program (KKN) from Mayjen Sungkono University to implement an anti-bullying education program at Tawar State Elementary School. This activity aimed to enhance students’ understanding of bullying while fostering empathy and care toward peers. The program employed an educative–participatory approach through presentations, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and ice-breaking activities tailored to the characteristics of elementary school students. The participants consisted of 39 students from grades 4 and 5. Evaluation was conducted through observations of student participation, enthusiasm, and their ability to answer questions related to the delivered material. The results indicated that most students were able to understand the concept of bullying, its types, negative impacts, and prevention strategies. Furthermore, students began to apply anti-bullying values in their daily social interactions within the school environment. Anti-bullying education is expected to serve as a preventive measure in creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive school environment that optimally supports students’ growth and development.

This study examines visual distortion, the use of emotional color, and expressive composition in Affandi's painting Self-Portrait Smoking a Pipe (1977), focusing on a systematic and contextual visual hermeneutic reading. The research background stems from the need to update the study of Indonesian expressionism through the integration of contemporary theories on visual perception, color psychology, and gestural analysis. This study aims to reveal how anatomical distortion, color dynamics, and non-linear compositional structures function as expressive strategies that reflect the artist's psychological condition and existential reflections in the final period of his life. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach and visual hermeneutic analysis through observation of digital documentation and a review of recent literature (2020–2025). The findings indicate that the distortion of shapes in the facial area and the finger-swiping gesture represent emotional tension, while the dominance of red, yellow, and green colors forms an affective spectrum that strengthens the psychological atmosphere in the work. The asymmetrical composition with diagonal lines creates a dynamic visual rhythm and directs the viewer's focus to the center of expression. The implications of the research emphasize that Affandi's works need to be read through a multidimensional approach that combines psychological, aesthetic, and hermeneutic aspects in order to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of his expressionist character.

Bullying in schools continues to be a serious concern that adversely impacts students’ psychological well-being, social relationships, and academic performance. Factors such as low empathy, inadequate social skills, and limited environmental control contribute significantly to this behavior. This study seeks to examine the implementation of group guidance as an approach to reducing bullying among students. A qualitative descriptive method was utilized, involving participants consisting of students identified as bullying perpetrators, school counselors, and victims. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, and documentation, which were analyzed through processes of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal that group guidance leads to positive behavioral changes in students, such as enhanced empathy, greater self-awareness, and improved communication and social interaction abilities. Furthermore, a reduction in both verbal and social bullying behaviors was observed. The group dynamics established during the sessions enabled students to better understand the consequences of their actions and gain insights from the experiences of others. These findings imply that group guidance can serve as an effective and sustainable strategy for preventing and managing bullying in school settings.

Drug abuse among adolescents has been increasing, including among youth in Papua. According to data from the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of Papua Province, there was a 1.73% increase in 2023. One of the contributing factors to adolescent involvement in drug abuse is low self-control. This study aimed to provide self-control training to help prevent drug abuse among adolescents independently. The program involved 37 vocational high school students in Jayapura City and employed a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design without a control group. The intervention consisted of self-control training delivered through lectures, discussions, and a structured learning module. The results indicated a significant improvement in self-control before and after the intervention, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) using a paired sample t-test, with an increase in the mean pre-test score (M = 46; SD = 7) to the mean post-test score (M = 48; SD = 6). These findings suggest that students of SMK Negeri 9 Jayapura experienced an improvement in self-control after participating in the training. Practically, this study demonstrates that self-control training can serve as an effective psychological intervention to address drug abuse and harmful substance use among adolescents. This intervention not only helps reduce addictive behaviors but also has the potential to enhance students’ quality of life and academic achievement.

Adolescence is a period of development characterized by rapid physical, emotional, and social changes, making adolescents vulnerable to various forms of violence, including sexual harassment. This phenomenon occurs in various contexts, including family, school, community, and digital environments, and has serious impacts on adolescents' psychological, social, and academic well-being. This study aims to comprehensively examine the phenomenon of sexual harassment among adolescents and its implications for guidance and counseling services in educational settings. The method used is a literature review by reviewing various relevant scientific articles from the past six years obtained through electronic databases. The analysis process was carried out using content analysis techniques by grouping findings based on main themes, namely forms of sexual harassment, risk factors, impacts, and the role of guidance and counseling services. The results of the study indicate that sexual harassment among adolescents occurs in various forms, both directly and through digital media, with complex causal factors encompassing individual, family, social, and cultural aspects. The impacts are not only physical, but also psychological and social in the long term. Guidance and counseling services play a crucial role in preventive, curative, and developmental efforts through education, mentoring, and strengthening students' social skills. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of strengthening guidance and counseling services as a systematic strategy in creating a safe and responsive school environment to cases of sexual harassment in adolescents.

Online gambling is a form of addictive behavior that often begins with simple experimentation. Early wins tend to encourage individuals to continue gambling with increasingly larger stakes, driven by the belief that higher bets will lead to greater profits. Along with the rapid advancement of digital technology, online gambling has become more accessible to various groups, including university students, through convenient and flexible online platforms. Although it is often perceived as a form of entertainment, online gambling has significant negative impacts. This study aims to analyze the effects of online gambling on students’ mental health. The research uses a qualitative approach, with data collected through observations and interviews involving respondents who engage in online gambling activities. The findings reveal that online gambling has detrimental effects on students’ psychological well-being, including increased levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. Furthermore, it contributes to decreased concentration, reduced learning motivation, and declining academic performance. Therefore, stronger preventive measures and educational efforts are necessary to minimize the negative impacts of online gambling among university students.

This study analyzes the dynamics of "Early Marriage and Shattered School Hopes" regarding eroded psychological well-being and pawned adolescent ideals in Brebes Regency. Using a qualitative case study design, data were gathered via in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis from eight informants, processed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model. Findings reveal early marriage is not merely a social event but systemic trauma damaging psychological structures through three aspects: first, victims' psychological conditions marked by identity loss, prolonged anxiety, and "fatalistic resignation"; second, lost educational access due to interactions of "normative-cultural coercion," "institutional structural barriers," and "economic-domestic double burdens"; third, manifestations of buried ideals comprising "hindered academic grief," "identity cognitive conflict," and "internalized existential despair." The research proves education loss from early marriage destroys human potential, altering character, leaving spiritual voids, and perpetuating intergenerational poverty cycles, thus urgently demanding holistic interventions including psychosocial rehabilitation and alternative education pathways. This study's main contribution is introducing the "systemic trauma" concept that actively extinguishes adolescents' existential hopes, filling literature gaps by providing a detailed psychological map to formulate recovery policies previously neglected in early marriage prevention discussions.

Adolescence is a transitional stage of development characterised by rapid biological, psychological, and social changes that increase vulnerability to the emergence of problematic behaviour. The increase in cases of juvenile delinquency highlights the importance of early detection as a prevention strategy. This study aims to examine the role of families and schools in the early detection of problematic behaviour in adolescents through a systematic literature review. The study used a systematic literature review method by analysing scientific articles published between 2021 and 2026 that discussed family involvement, the role of schools, and early detection of adolescent behaviour. Data were collected through a structured process of searching, selecting, critically evaluating, and synthesising the literature. The results showed that family factors such as parenting styles, emotional support, communication quality, and supervision have a significant influence on adolescent behavioural development. Schools also play a strategic role through counselling services, behavioural screening, mental health education, and collaborative interventions. Effective early detection occurs when families and schools work together through continuous communication and coordinated monitoring. Therefore, the role of families and schools is to strengthen efforts to identify and prevent behavioral problems so that interventions can be carried out more quickly to support the social and emotional well-being of adolescents. Strengthening collaboration and structured detection systems are important steps in reducing the risk of problematic behaviour in adolescents.

This study explores how social media–driven green marketing shapes sustainable consumer behavior through a systematic literature review. As concerns about sustainability intensify alongside rapid digital engagement, social media has emerged as a crucial platform for communicating environmental initiatives and influencing consumer responses. Despite this relevance, existing studies remain fragmented across theoretical, contextual, and methodological perspectives, limiting a holistic understanding of the topic. Using the PRISMA approach, this research reviews 42 empirical articles sourced from the Scopus database and analyzes them through the TCCM (Theory–Context–Characteristics–Method) framework. The findings show that most studies rely on intention-based theories, particularly the Theory of Planned Behavior, although there is a growing shift toward integrating social, psychological, and technology-oriented approaches. From a contextual standpoint, the literature is largely concentrated in Asian regions and younger demographics, which restricts broader generalization. Furthermore, results indicate that social media–driven green marketing does not directly affect sustainable behavior but works through important psychological mediators such as trust, engagement, and perceived value. These factors significantly influence how consumers interpret and respond to environmental messages online. The effectiveness of such marketing strategies is also shaped by cultural and demographic differences, making context a critical factor. Methodologically, most studies employ cross-sectional surveys and structural equation modeling, limiting the ability to capture causal and dynamic relationships. Overall, this study provides a structured synthesis, highlights research gaps, and suggests future directions, including cross-cultural analysis, stronger theoretical integration, and more rigorous research designs.

The Society 5.0 era demands that the younger generation possess adaptive, persuasive, and self-confidence-based communication skills.
