Group Guidance Services with Self-Management Interventions to Reduce Academic Procrastination Among Students
Get PDFProcrastination on assignments can disrupt a student’s learning process, resulting in suboptimal learning outcomes and hindering academic achievement. Without proper intervention, academic procrastination may become a significant challenge for students. Therefore, proactive measures are essential to mitigate this tendency, with one approach being group guidance utilizing self-management techniques. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of group guidance services incorporating self-management techniques to reduce academic procrastination among students. A randomized pre-post control group design was implemented, with 10 students in the experimental group and 10 in the control group, selected through random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed via the Mann-Whitney U test, using SPSS version 20.00. The results indicate that self-management techniques are effective in reducing academic procrastination among students
Adaptation and Psychometric Investigation of the Family Role Performance Scale
Get PDFFamily role performance refers to fulfilling responsibilities and expectations associated with various family roles. In urban Indonesia, changing gender roles and family dynamics have highlighted the importance of role division between spouses, but no studies have adapted a measurement tool into Indonesian. This study aims to adapt and test the psychometric validity of the Family Role Performance Scale by Chen et al. (2014) for Indonesian families, hypothesizing it will be a reliable tool. The research design is cross sectional, involving cultural adaptation and factor structure testing via Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Construct validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity were also assessed. The sample consisted of 250 married couples, determined using a G-power of 0.8. Analysis results indicated that factor loading values above 0.5 demonstrate good validity and reliability, making the scale suitable for measuring role division in Indonesian families. These findings provide a reliable tool for assessing family role performance and supporting policies aimed at balancing family roles in a changing society
Enhancing the Cancer Patients' Resilience and Motivation via the Nurse Educator Model Intervention
Get PDFCancer patients need health education as one of the important nursing interventions for adaptation to the deterioration in physical and psychological conditions associated with their quality of life. A quasi-experiment study with a post-test with a control group design has been conducted aiming to test the effectiveness of the Nurse Educator Model (NEM) on the motivation and resilience of cancer patients. A total of 38 people in the intervention group and 40 people in the control group of stage III and IV cancer patients from five chemotherapy units were involved. Motivation and resilience were measured using questionnaires and data were analyzed by independent t-test. The results showed a significant effect of NEM intervention on patient motivation and no significant effect on the resilience of cancer patients. Nurses need to ensure consistent application of NEM to increase cancer patients' motivation and consider other things that affect cancer patients' resilience
The Impact of Social Support on Academic Resilience Mediated by Self-Regulated Learning
Get PDFHigh school students need resilience to cope with academic pressures and demands. This study aims to examine the mediating role of self-regulated learning on the effect of social support on academic resilience among high school students. For this purpose, the study population came from one of the high schools in Medan City with a total number of 615 students. This study used total sampling to obtain effective results and partial least square (PLS) SEM. SmartPLS 3.0 was used to analyse the data. The results of this study show that self-regulated learning is able to partially mediate between the influence of social support on students' academic resilience. In order to improve academic resilience, it is recommended that parents and teachers provide active support to students as a tangible manifestation of the social support provided to enhance the development of self-regulated learning in student
Eating Behavior: How Food Safety Knowledge and Attitude Influence Individual’s Food Choices
Get PDFNon-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity are on the rise in Indonesia. This increase is suspected to be because individuals are unable to maintain healthy food choices. It is hypothesized that personal factors, such as knowledge and attitudes towards food safety, can influence individuals in selecting healthy foods. This study is designed to investigate the influence of knowledge and attitudes towards food safety on healthy food choices among individuals. The research design used is a quasi-experimental study in a laboratory setting using a Fake Food Buffet. The targeted number of participants is 146 university students. This study shows that knowledge and attitudes towards food safety significantly influence healthy food choices. Additionally, knowledge of food safety partially influences healthy food choices. However, attitudes towards food safety do not influence healthy food choices. These findings are important considerations in designing interventions to increase public knowledge about food safety issues, which can reduce the incidence of non-communicable diseases in the future
Model of Batak Toba Values and Perceived Organizational Support on The Psychological Well-Being of Batak Toba Civil Servants in North Sumatera
Get PDFThe Batak ethnic group is ranked as the third-largest ethnic group in Indonesia after the Javanese and Sundanese ethnic groups. As one of the ethnic groups that still strongly uphold their traditions, the Batak ethnic group experiences many conflicts within their community. This becomes a stress trigger for individuals of the Batak ethnic group if they are unable to meet the demands of their traditions, which can ultimately threaten their well-being. This research aims to develop a model of the influence of Batak values and perceived organizational support on the psychological well-being of Batak civil servants in North Sumatera. This research uses an explanatory survey method with descriptive and verificative analysis. Based on disproportionate sampling techniques, the study was conducted on 636 civil servants in five regencies and cities in North Sumatera. The model testing uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on component/variance, specifically the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique, with the SmartPLS software. The results of the study indicate that the Batak values, which are used as a guide in the lives of Batak civil servants, and their positive perceptions of the institutions where they work, simultaneously influence the psychological well-being of Batak civil servants. The variables Hamoraon, Hagabeon, Hasangapon, and perceived organizational support collectively contribute 41% to the psychological well-being of Batak civil servants in North Sumatera. Therefore, the position of Batak values and perceived organizational support is very important, as these two variables have a significant impact on the psychological well-being of Batak Toba civil servants in North Sumatera
Parenting Styles and Student Resilience: The Role of Religiosity as a Mediator
Get PDFAs one of the age groups vulnerable to depression, resilience is an essential aspect to consider among university students. Parenting styles are thought to play a role in the development of resilience; however, research findings on the relationship between these two variables remain inconsistent. In addition to parenting styles, religiosity has also been found to correlate with resilience. Religiosity is suspected to act as a mediator in the relationship between parenting styles and resilience. The role of religiosity as a mediator is important to examine, given that religiosity is a significant element in the lives of Indonesians. This study aims to investigate whether religiosity mediates the relationship between parenting styles and resilience. The instruments used in this study include the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) (α = 0.783 for the authoritarian parenting scale, α = 0.617 for the permissive parenting scale, and α = 0.830 for the authoritative parenting scale), the Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS) (α = 0.888), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) (α = 0.920). A total of 412 university students in Indonesia participated in this study. Data analysis using GLM Mediation Analysis revealed that religiosity mediates the relationship between permissive parenting and resilience. Religiosity also mediates the relationship between authoritative parenting and resilience. A direct relationship between authoritative parenting and resilience was also identified. However, religiosity does not serve as a mediator in the relationship between authoritarian parenting and resilience. The implications of this study are discussed at the end of the article
Husnuzan, Social Comparison, and Social Anxiety in Emerging Adults Social Media Users
Get PDFEmerging adults often use social media as a platform for exploration, but the usage is associated with various negative impacts, particularly regarding others' judgments, which can lead to social anxiety. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of husnuzan and social comparison on social anxiety among emerging adults social media users. The participants were individuals in emerging adulthood, aged 18-29 years, residing in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Moreover, the Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure, Husn al-Zhan Scale, and Social Anxiety Scales for Social Media Users were used. A multiple regression analysis was carried out to explore the relationship between the three variables. The proposed hypothesis states that husnuzan and social comparison influence social anxiety. The results showed that husnuzan and social comparison significantly impacted social anxiety in emerging adults social media users, hence, optimizing husnuzan and minimizing social comparison behaviors can reduce anxiety
What Do They Do with Their Phones? Teens' Smartphone Use Behavior Post Covid-19 Pandemic
Get PDFThe use of smartphones has significantly increased during the Covid-19 pandemic. Internet access in the family room has impacted teens' smartphone usage behavior and relationships between family members, particularly in family communication. This study aimed to describe teens' behavior while using smartphones and compare the quality of parent-child interpersonal communication based on teens' smartphone usage intensity post-pandemic COVID-19. A total of 515 teens aged 15-19 years participated in this research. The study revealed eight main activities that most teenagers engage in with their smartphones. These activities include recording pictures/audio/video of oneself, managing incoming messages (via messaging apps and email), playing games, accessing social media, listening to music, listening to the radio, editing photos/videos, and using search engines (such as Google) to search for information (browsing). The results also indicated significant differences in openness, empathy, positiveness, and overall family communication quality. Participants who used low-intensity gadgets exhibited the best quality in these dimensions. The implications of this research may help practitioners working with families design necessary interventions for family communication problems
Adaptation and Validation of the Self-Compassion Scale for Youth (SCS-Y) in Indonesia
Get PDFThis study aims to adapt and examine the psychometric properties of the Self-Compassion Scale for Youth (SCS-Y) for the Indonesian sample. The adaptation process followed International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines, including translation, expert and peer review, cognitive interview, and pre-final Indonesian version. The SCS-Y, developed by Neff et al. (2021), consists of 6 dimensions of self-compassion with 17 items. After item discrimination analysis, 2 items were identified as poor and eliminated, leading to the further analysis of 15 items. The study involved 337 early adolescents aged 11 - 15 years, enrolled in junior high schools in Indonesia. The reliability test (Cronbach's Alpha= .716) showed the scale is reliable. Construct validity was confirmed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, with all 15 items being significant. The study supports the applicability of the SCS-Y for early adolescents in Indonesia
