Aggressive behavior is one of the manifestations commonly found in individuals with mental disorders, and this can potentially cause harm both to themselves and to their surroundings. To address this condition, one non-pharmacological approach that can be implemented is the use of Mozart classical music therapy. This study aims to evaluate the impact of Mozart classical music therapy on patients who have the potential to exhibit violent behavior at Aceh Mental Hospital. The research activities were conducted from July 2 to 5, 2025. The research design adopted in this study is pre-experimental using the One group pretest-posttest Design method. The study subjects consisted of 15 inpatients who had been identified as being at risk for violent behavior, with sample selection carried out through purposive sampling. The findings of the study showed that the average score of signs and symptoms before the intervention was 5.73, with a score range of 3 to 8. After the intervention in the form of Mozart classical music therapy, the average score of signs and symptoms decreased significantly to 1.60, with a range between 1 and 2. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test showed a Z value of -3.437 with a significance level of P = 0.000 (P < 0.05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that Mozart classical music therapy has a significant effect in reducing the risk of violent behavior in patients. Therefore, Mozart classical music therapy is recommended as an effective supportive intervention and can be routinely integrated into psychiatric care rooms.

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.

Innovative service programs are still unable to ensure that all administrative rights related to civil registration are properly fulfilled, especially for vulnerable groups such as people with mental disorders and persons with disabilities. This study aims to examine the role of the Sidoarjo District Population and Civil Registration Office in fulfilling the administrative rights of the community, identify factors that facilitate and hinder this process, and evaluate how inclusive public service policies are implemented. This study uses a qualitative approach to understand how inclusive public services are implemented. The study shows that there are obstacles in procedures and administration, particularly in the initial online application process, and that there are no clear SOP documents regulating services for persons with disabilities. In addition, the manner of imposing official sanctions in the implementation of the Peduli Dilan Program is not yet clear. Nevertheless, the Population and Civil Registration Office of Sidoarjo Regency has made efforts to provide inclusive services and focus on fulfilling rights. This study shows that the role of the Population and Civil Registration Office of Sidoarjo Regency is already functioning, but it still needs to be strengthened in terms of resources, data collection systems, and service coverage expansion so that the administrative rights of vulnerable groups can be fulfilled more evenly and sustainably.

Early childhood growth and development detection is an important process to identify potential physical, cognitive, emotional, and social developmental disorders in children before the age of six, which can help prevent long-term health and educational problems. Developmental screening is an initial assessment activity conducted to determine a child’s level of development according to their age. This screening aims to detect early whether a child’s development is within normal limits or if there is a possibility of developmental delay. This study aims to examine the developmental screening of children aged 5–6 years at RA Bunayya II. The research method used is qualitative research. Data were collected through observation and interviews. The results of the study indicate that all children are in the category of Developing as Expected. This is shown by the predominance of “Yes” responses on the indicators of the Pre-Developmental Screening Questionnaire (KPSP), which include aspects of speech and language, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, as well as social-emotional development and independence.

Low Birth Weight (LBW) is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality and contributes to an increased risk of growth and developmental disorders in later life. Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy and the utilization of antenatal health services are important factors influencing fetal growth and development. Pregnant women with poor nutritional status are at higher risk of delivering low birth weight infants due to insufficient intake of essential nutrients required during pregnancy. In addition, inadequate utilization of antenatal care services may result in delayed detection and management of pregnancy-related complications. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal nutritional status and the utilization of health services with the incidence of LBW. The research employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of all women who delivered in the working area of Puskesmas X in 2026. A total of 80 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected from maternal and child health (MCH) books and medical records and analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed a significant relationship between maternal nutritional status and the incidence of LBW (p=0.002), as well as between the utilization of health services and the incidence of LBW (p=0.004). It can be concluded that maternal nutritional status and compliance with antenatal visits are significantly associated with LBW, highlighting the need to improve nutritional monitoring and the quality of antenatal care services.

Syndrome is a serious problem in children's health because it has a major impact on growth and development, especially in terms of intelligence and daily activities. Down Syndrome, as one of the most well-known chromosomal disorders, is often the main cause of intellectual developmental disorders, hypotonia, facial dysmorphism, early onset of Alzheimer's disease, and various behavioral disorders. Diagnosing syndrome diseases in children is often difficult due to complex and varied symptoms, requiring lengthy, costly, and time-consuming medical evaluations. This study aims to design a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR)-based expert system for diagnosing syndromes in children, which is expected to help accelerate the disease identification process and provide more effective and efficient solutions. The method used is the development of an expert system with a CBR approach, in which the system performs calculations and matching based on the symptoms selected by the user against the available case base. The results of the study show that from symptom inputs such as wide hands with short fingers, short stature, small head, stunted growth, small lower jaw, abnormal body appearance, and weak joints, the system was able to diagnose Klinefelter syndrome with a percentage of 43.58%. This system can be an alternative for patients or families who have limited time and funds to obtain medical consultations, so that diagnosis and follow-up can be carried out more quickly and efficiently.

Fasting as a spiritual and health practice has been practiced for thousands of years in various religious and cultural traditions around the world. In the last decade, researchers have shown increasing interest in the health aspects of fasting, not only from a physiological but also a psychological perspective. This phenomenon is interesting to study further, especially in the context of modern society which often faces stress, anxiety, and various mental disorders. The approach used in this study was a qualitative approach with a literature study method that analyzed in depth various reference sources related to the mental impact of fasting. The results of the review of several studies show that fasting has been proven to have an effect on mental health because it has a significant impact on overall mood improvements, with reduced anxiety levels and increased feelings of calm. Furthermore, another important aspect of mental health is cognitive function, which includes attention, concentration, memory, and executive function. It was found that cognitive alertness is generally maintained during short- to medium-term fasting, but begins to decline after longer fasting durations. Fasting also has an impact on extraordinary psychological resilience and good mental health despite advanced age. Researchers attribute this extraordinary mental resilience to the consistent practice of long-term fasting, which may have induced significant neuroplastic and psychological adaptations.

Background: Regular physical activity has a significant impact on improving the quality of health in all age groups. One of the main factors causing the increasing prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity is lack of physical activity. Data from various studies show that increasing physical activity and fitness levels can reduce the relative risk of death by 20% to 35%. This condition shows that physical activity is not only important for maintaining fitness, but also has a vital role in preventing premature death caused by chronic diseases. Objective: This study aims to systematically examine the benefits of physical activity on health and fitness through a systematic review of 13 relevant scientific articles. Results: The findings show that regular physical activity can improve and maintain muscle and bone health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, and reduce symptoms of mental disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. In addition, physical activity also plays a role in improving psychological well-being. Conclusion: Consistent physical activity contributes to the primary and secondary prevention of various chronic diseases, reduces the risk of premature death, maintains a balanced body composition, and supports optimal organ function. This results in a healthier, fitter body, and individuals being more productive in their daily activities.  

Criminal liability, also known as "criminal responsibility," is a legal assessment that is made after all elements of a criminal act are met or evidence of a criminal act is proven. The purpose of this assessment is to determine whether the defendant can be held accountable for the criminal act committed. This study specifically focuses on criminal liability for the perpetrator of murder who is a person with paranoid schizophrenia, as well as the factors that influence the act of murder. The approaches used in this study are normative juridical and empirical juridical juridical The research involved the Judge of the Gedong Tataan District Court and a Psychiatrist at the Regional Psychiatric Hospital of the University of Lampung as the main speakers. Data collection was carried out through literature studies and field studies to obtain a comprehensive picture related to the legal, medical, psychological, and social aspects of the case being studied. The results of the study show that the defendant, even though it is legally proven that he committed a criminal act as stated in Decision No. 105/Pid.B/2023/PN.Gdt, is bound by the provisions of Article 5 letter a juncto Article 44 Paragraph (3) of Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the elimination of domestic violence. However, based on judicial, medical, and psychological considerations, the defendant cannot be criminally held liable for his actions for excused reasons related to mental disorders. Factors that affect this act of murder include psychological aspects, psychological conditions, mental health, traumatic experiences, and the social and family environment in which the perpetrator grew up. The analysis shows the importance of an integrative understanding between criminal law, psychiatry, and social conditions in determining criminal liability.

The increasing number of mental health disorders in various countries has created an urgent need for innovation in the diagnosis and treatment process. This problem not only impacts individuals' quality of life but also creates a significant social and economic burden. One solution that is beginning to be widely researched is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of mental health. This research used a literature review of various previous studies discussing the role, application, and impact of AI. The results of the review indicate that AI technology, particularly in the form of digital applications such as chatbots, has great potential to support the recovery process for patients with mental disorders. AI-based chatbots can provide responsive, two-way interactions, so users feel heard and receive initial emotional support. One technical approach used is Natural Language Processing (NLP), which enables the system to understand natural human language. Simultaneously, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithms are used to analyze language patterns and detect symptoms of depression more accurately. Various studies have reported that the application of NLP and LSTM can improve the reliability of diagnoses and provide responses tailored to user needs. Furthermore, AI can provide personalized recommendations, tailor interventions to the user's condition, and monitor mental health developments in real time. This has the potential to assist mental health practitioners in making faster and more informed decisions. However, the adoption of AI among practitioners remains relatively low. Influencing factors include limited technological understanding, limited infrastructure, and debates over ethical aspects and data privacy. Therefore, while AI has significant potential to improve the quality of mental health services, regulations, ethical guidelines, and synergy between technology and healthcare professionals are needed to ensure safe and effective implementation.

Neonatal jaundice is a common health problem in newborns, characterized by yellow discoloration of the skin and sclera due to increased bilirubin levels in the blood. This condition, if not detected and treated properly, can lead to serious complications such as kernicterus, which can lead to long-term neurological developmental disorders. Risk factors contributing to jaundice include suboptimal breastfeeding practices, delayed initiation of breastfeeding, and low birth weight. Adequate breastfeeding from an early age plays a crucial role in accelerating the excretion of bilirubin through feces, while monitoring birth weight can help identify infants at risk of hyperbilirubinemia. This outreach activity aims to increase mothers' and families' knowledge about the importance of early and exclusive breastfeeding, as well as monitoring birth weight as a preventive measure for neonatal jaundice. The activity was conducted at Andi Makkasau Regional Hospital using lectures, interactive discussions, and the use of educational media such as leaflets and posters. The training materials covered the definition, risk factors, signs and symptoms of jaundice, early detection procedures, the benefits of breastfeeding in preventing jaundice, and the importance of recording and monitoring infant weight. The activity was evaluated through pre- and post-tests to gauge participants' understanding. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, particularly regarding the relationship between delayed breastfeeding, low birth weight, and an increased risk of neonatal jaundice. Furthermore, participants gained a better understanding of home-based measures to detect early symptoms and when to immediately take their baby to a health facility.

This study examines criminal liability for the crime of exhibitionism in Indonesia and the forms of protection provided to its victims. Exhibitionism is a deviant behavior in the form of exposing genitals to others without consent, which is classified as a form of sexual harassment. Although often considered a minor act or even just "fun", exhibitionism has serious psychological impacts on victims, such as trauma, fear, anxiety, and long-term mental disorders, especially if it occurs repeatedly or is experienced by minors. From a legal aspect, the crime of exhibitionism can be prosecuted through several articles in the Criminal Code (KUHP), including Article 281 which regulates indecent acts in public, and Article 289 if the exhibitionism is carried out with violence or threats of violence. In addition, Law Number 44 of 2008 concerning Pornography can also be used as a legal basis, especially if the exhibitionism is carried out through digital media. If the victim is a child, Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection will increase the perpetrator's punishment. The criminal liability of exhibitionists depends heavily on their mental state. Under Indonesian criminal law, a person can only be held criminally responsible if they are legally capable of being held accountable. If a perpetrator is proven to have a serious mental disorder based on a psychiatric expert's testimony, they may be subject to special measures instead of criminal punishment, such as rehabilitation in a mental hospital. Protection for victims of exhibitionism must be comprehensive. This includes facilitating the reporting process to authorities, prompt handling by law enforcement, providing counseling or psychological support, protecting the victim's identity, and educating the public to prevent exhibitionism. Integrating legal aspects, mental health, and public education is crucial in breaking the chain of this crime.

Adolescents living in families where a parent has schizophrenia are at risk of experiencing significant psychological distress. This study aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the subjective experiences of a teenage boy in dealing with the psychological burden of having a mother with schizophrenia. The research employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method and utilized Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) for data analysis. The participant in this study was a 16-year-old male adolescent who lives with his mother diagnosed with a chronic mental illness. The findings reveal that the subject experienced psychological burden in both objective forms, such as caregiving duties and domestic responsibilities, and subjective forms, including feelings of shame, anxiety, limited social interaction, and emotional conflict. Despite these challenges, the subject developed adaptive coping strategies through social engagement, sports activities, and support from peers and the surrounding environment. These findings highlight the psychological dynamics faced by adolescents in families affected by mental disorders and emphasize the importance of experience-based approaches in psychological intervention efforts.

This study examines the various forms of trauma experienced by patients with mental disorders, particularly those caused by violence and loss, and explores the psychosocial approaches used in the recovery process at Prof. Dr. M. Ildrem Mental Hospital, Medan. The background of this study is based on the importance of understanding traumatic factors as one of the root causes of mental disorders, which are often overlooked in medical treatment. The research aims to describe the types of trauma experienced by patients and to evaluate the effectiveness of the psychosocial interventions provided by the hospital. A qualitative approach was employed, using field observation and in-depth interviews with rehabilitation staff, including psychologists, counselors, and therapists. The findings indicate that the majority of patients have a history of severe trauma, such as sexual violence, the loss of loved ones, and extreme life stress that was not properly addressed. The recovery process at the hospital is carried out holistically through occupational therapy, skills training, spiritual guidance, and psychological support from both professionals and peer counselors. The study concludes that an approach combining scientific methods with patients' real-life experiences can positively impact the recovery process. Therefore, strengthening professional capacity and providing counselor training are essential to enhance the effectiveness of the rehabilitation system.

This paper discusses the visual design of character designs for an illustrated book that focuses on the problem of people pleasers among employees aged 22-30 years. People pleasers are individuals who tend to please others at the expense of themselves, which in the long term can trigger stress and mental disorders. The results of the study show that many young employees experience a dilemma between meeting other people's expectations and maintaining their own well-being. To convey this problem, four characters were designed. The main character is Tara, a people pleaser who undergoes a transformation into a more balanced individual in her work and personal life. Three supporting characters help strengthen the dynamics of conflict in the workplace, Mr. Johnson (Tara's demanding boss), Shinta (a supportive co-worker), and Felix (a senior co-worker). The character design process was carried out through several stages, including interviews with psychologists, illustrators, and employees, as well as qualitative data analysis from observations, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and literature studies. The result is four characters executed in a simple illustration style with flat design and a limited color palette to emphasize the emotional atmosphere experienced by the characters. By exploring the right illustration style and color composition, this study designs characters that not only depict the reality of people pleasers in the workplace, but also function as visual educational media that helps readers understand the importance of setting boundaries at work and supports individuals in achieving inner peace and balance in life. Keywords: People pleaser, Persona, Illustration, Employee Character Design

Central obesity in women of reproductive age can have a negative impact on their health and is associated with the occurrence of metabolic diseases. This study aims to determine the factors associated with central obesity in women aged 15-49 years in Indonesia in 2023 using 2023 SKI data with a cross-sectional study design. The study sample was 213,309 women of reproductive age obtained using the linear systematic sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out up to multivariate analysis using the Cox Regression test. The results showed that the prevalence of central obesity in women of reproductive age was 49.11%. Age [PR = 1.96 (95% CI: 1.93 - 2.00)], occupation [PR = 1.20 (95% CI: 1.19 - 1.22)], and place of residence [PR = 1.08 (95% CI: 1.07 - 1.10)] were found to be associated with an increased risk of central obesity. Meanwhile, education level [PR = 0.97 (95% CI: 0.95 – 0.98)], physical activity [PR = 0.93 (95% CI: 0.91 – 0.94)], and emotional mental disorders [PR = 0.75 (95% CI: 0.70 – 0.80)] were found to be protective factors against central obesity. The most dominant factor with the occurrence of central obesity is age. Therefore, it is important for WUS to be aware of the risk of central obesity and implement appropriate preventive measures. Preventive efforts can be done by maintaining hormonal balance and body metabolism through a healthy lifestyle, as well as undergoing regular health checks.

This activity aims to raise awareness and understanding among PKK mothers in Padang Cermin Village, Langkat Regency, regarding the importance of mental health. Mental health issues are often overlooked, especially in rural areas where access to information and support services is limited, and where social stigma against mental disorders persists. Lack of knowledge about the early signs of mental health disorders can cause preventable problems to develop into more serious conditions. Through this outreach activity, participants were introduced to the basic concepts of mental health, the factors that influence it, the early signs of mental disorders such as prolonged stress, anxiety, and depression, and simple steps that can be taken to maintain mental health within the family environment. Methods used included interactive material delivery, educational videos, group discussions, and question-and-answer sessions, allowing participants to understand the material more deeply and relate it to their personal experiences. Additionally, practical tips were provided, such as breathing relaxation techniques, establishing positive communication within the family, time management, and the importance of social support among community members. This approach is expected to empower mothers, as central figures in the family, to recognize, prevent, and address mental health issues early on. The results of the activity showed a very positive response. Participants demonstrated high enthusiasm, openness in sharing experiences, and a greater awareness of the importance of maintaining mental health. Many participants acknowledged that they previously lacked understanding of the importance of mental health care and tended to ignore early symptoms. This activity demonstrated the strategic role of community-based mental health education in preventative efforts to create healthier, more harmonious, and more resilient families. Going forward, follow-up efforts in the form of regular mentoring programs, dissemination of advanced educational materials, and collaboration with relevant parties are needed to ensure continued understanding and support for mental health issues in rural communities.
