Background: Schizophrenia is a type of mental disorder that affects how sufferers behave, think, and feel. This condition can trigger nursing problems such as low self-esteem (harga diri rendah). In 2023, approximately 970 million people worldwide experience mental disorders, with schizophrenia prevalence in Indonesia reaching 3 per 1,000 households and in Central Java approximately 5.1% of households. Methods: This study used a descriptive approach in the form of a case study through the nursing process, including observation, interview, documentation study, and literature review. The general objective of this writing was to implement psychiatric nursing care for Ny. W with the main problem of Self-Concept Disorder: Low Self-Esteem Due to Undifferentiated Schizophrenia. Results: Nursing diagnoses that emerged were low self-esteem, social isolation, and self-care deficit. Interventions carried out included SP 1 and SP 2 for low self-esteem (HDR) and SP 2 for self-care deficit (DPD). Conclusion: After 4 days of nursing care on Ny. W according to the nursing action plan, the patient was able to establish a trusting relationship, identify positive abilities she possessed, perform chosen activities, and interact with her environment.

This research is a quantitative study with a descriptive correlational design using a cross-sectional approach. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between depression level and self-efficacy among patients with kidney failure treated in the internal medicine ward of RS QIM Batang. The sample consisted of 40 respondents selected using purposive sampling from the population of chronic kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. The instruments used were the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) to measure depression and a 25-item self-efficacy questionnaire to assess patients’ confidence. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank test. The results showed that most respondents were in the normal depression category (31.4%), while 24.8% experienced severe depression. Regarding self-efficacy, the majority of respondents were in the high category (43.8%). The Spearman Rank test revealed a correlation coefficient (rho) of -0.881 with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a very strong and statistically significant negative relationship between depression and self-efficacy. This means that the higher the patients’ self-efficacy, the lower their level of depression. The conclusion of this study is that there is a very strong and significant relationship between depression level and self-efficacy among patients with kidney failure treated in the internal medicine ward of RS QIM Batang.

Human Resource Development (HRD) is one of the main priorities in realizing the progress of a region. The Human Development Index (HDI) is one of the indicators used to measure the quality of HRD. This study aims to analyze the quality of HRD in Gorontalo Province using the HDI as the main indicator. Secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) were analyzed to measure three dimensions of the HDI, namely health, education, and decent living standards during the period 2019-2023. The results of the study showed an increasing trend in the HDI across all regions, although at varying rates. Gorontalo City recorded the highest HDI value, reflecting better development quality compared to other districts. Meanwhile, North Gorontalo had the lowest HDI, although there was an increase from year to year. Further analysis showed that significant disparities in the dimensions of health, education, and per capita expenditure between urban and rural areas were major challenges. This study suggests the need for equitable development through increasing access to health services, quality education, and economic infrastructure to reduce disparities between regions. These findings are expected to contribute to more inclusive policy-making for HRD development in Gorontalo Province.

A series of hydraulic stimulations were conducted to enhance permeability and increase the production of hot fluid in a Hot Dry Rock (HDR) geothermal field. The stimulation involved injecting water into the hot rock, inducing hydraulic fracturing and resulting in over 2000 micro-earthquake events within the field. Utilizing existing microearthquake data, an analysis of the microearthquake distribution was performed, along with calculating the gradient of the frequency-magnitude distribution of microearthquakes (b-value) to assess the heterogeneity conditions induced by high pore pressure. The hypocenter distribution is centered around injection and production locations, displaying a trend that aligns with the main structure trending southwest to northeast. The mapping of b-values indicates elevated values in the hydraulic stimulation area, believed to be associated with increased pore pressure resulting from the higher fluid volume in that region. Moreover, high b-values were identified beneath the production area, suggesting the potential migration of injection fluid from the hydraulic stimulation process.

Data from the Gorontalo Provincial Health Office, show that the target data for the Gorontalo province in 2019 total elderly people reached 125,762, consisting of 22,384 total elderly people in the city of Gorontalo and 40,340 in the district of Gorontalo. And in 2020 the target for the Gorontalo province total elderly to reach 134,958 consisting of 23,678 total elderly living in the city of Gorontalo and 45,312 total elderly in Gorontalo district. Method: The type of research used in this research is an experimental design (one group pre-test post-test design). The object of this research is the elderly who have low self-esteem at Griya Lansia Jannati, Gorontalo City. Subjects in this case study were clients with low self-esteem as many as 3 respondents. Results: Low self-esteem before social group activity therapy was carried out on client 1, namely unable to control emotions and on clients 2 and 3, namely the lack of social interaction after social group activity therapy was carried out on client 1, they were able to control the emotions of clients 2 and 3, they were able to interact social. Conclusion: there is an effect of giving group activity therapy to patients with low self-
