Factors affecting the University Students’ Mental Health during the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak
Get PDFFear and worry, especially in rural Philippines, harmed youths' mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 722 Isabela State University students surveyed for mental health. An online descriptive survey described their characteristics, stressors, coping techniques, and epidemic-related mental health hurdles. Depression and anxiety were assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire -9 and Gender Anxiety Disorder-7. Most 19-20-year-old students reported mild depression and anxiety, with females more affected than males. Financial issues prevented mental health care, affecting academic performance. Other stressors were COVID-19 symptoms, lack of counseling, and social isolation. Exercise, diet, and creativity were also coping techniques. These facts demonstrate that COVID-19's isolation and economic, educational, and mental effects are interrelated. Increased counseling services, telehealth training, seminars, interventions, academic assistance, and mental health technology can help bridge the gap between students, parents, and institutions. Future studies will provide specific therapies for the most affected groups
Is Academic Procrastination Still a Problem among Junior High School? The Investigation of Academic Self-Efficacy and Parental Support as Predictor
Get PDFThis research is motivated by the still high incidence of academic procrastination among junior high school students. The purpose of this research is to examine whether academic self-efficacy and parental support contribute to students' academic procrastination. This research used a cross-sectional design, with a sample of 250 students selected through proportional stratified random sampling. The research instruments used included measurements of academic self-efficacy, parental support, and academic procrastination. Data were analyzed using multiple regression with the help of SPSS version 25.00. Research findings show that academic self-efficacy contributes negatively to academic procrastination (standardized beta = -.613, sig = .000), and parental support also shows a significant contribution (standardized beta = -.215, sig = .000). The implications of this research highlight the need to increase students' self-efficacy and parental support through a series of psychological interventions to reduce cases of academic procrastination among students.
Locating the Invariant Faxtor’s Cognitive Ability Test
Get PDFEnsuring consistency in measurements across different groups is a crucial aspect of using intelligence test scores and other psychological assessments fairly. Many believe that having equal factor loadings is enough to establish this consistency in confirmatory factor analysis. This research focused on examining the consistency of the Factor Cognitive Ability Test (FCAT) between genders and age groups. A second-order 4-factor model was applied to a nationally representative sample of 3,850 individuals aged 11 to 53 years. The results revealed complete strict consistency between genders and basic structural consistency among age groups. The FCAT subtests exhibited identical underlying theoretical latent constructs, equivalent relationships among factors and subtests, consistent validity for each first-order factor, and comparable communalities, irrespective of gender. This supports a consistent interpretive approach and meaningful comparisons of FCAT scores between males and females. However, the study also identified variations across age groups, indicating non-consistency and providing evidence that age has an impact on the latent variable differences in FCAT scores
The Role of Cognitive Reappraisal and Expressive Suppression toward Self-adjustment among Adolescence
Get PDFSelf-adjustment is highly important in human life. It refers to the ability to adapt to social behavior and environment. Factors influencing an individual's ability to self-adjust include emotional regulation in the context of interaction, as self-adjustment is closely intertwined with it. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression on students' self-adjustment. The research sample consists of 104 tenth-grade high school students selected through a simple random sampling technique. Multiple linear regression analysis is employed in this study. The research findings reveal that the dimensions of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression have a significant influence on students' self-adjustment, accounting for 25.9%, while other factors account for the remaining 74.1%.Keywords: self-adjustment; emotional regulation; high school student
Overview of the Application Student Fatigue Surveillance at High School
Get PDFThe World Health Organization (WHO) declared that this epidemic is a public health emergency of international concern on January 31, 2020 (Bulut & Kato, 2020). As of July 15, 2022, a new coronavirus infection, COVID-19, has spread worldwide, causing more than 500 million cases and over 6.3 million deaths. The COVID-19 pandemic situation presents many challenges and unprecedented social distancing problems that have changed habits, one of which is in the field of education. During the COVID-19 pandemic, learning was carried out online according to the direction of the Ministry of Education and Culture. All educational activities began to use video conferencing, mobile based, and computers/smartphones. The transition of the original learning system offline to online requires students to adapt to these conditions. This has a negative impact, one of which is fatigue in students. The impact of student fatigue causes a sense of loss of spirit, laziness, stress, insomnia. This research was carried out in 2020 with a data collection technique, namely using a Focus Discussion Group (FGD) on the head/leader of a senior high school (SMA) in the East Java area with a total of 8 informants. The results of the FGD found that Some of the schools do not yet have a student fatigue monitoring program. Some schools are not yet aware of the importance of student resilience surveillance. Therefore, it is necessary to have a policy of requiring each school to carry out health surveillance, especially related to student conditions so that bias is well monitored the condition of students, both physical and mental, in order to follow optimal learning
Psychosocial Safety Climate and Work-School Conflict in Working University Students
Get PDFStudents who are also working experience various difficulties in managing their working life and their studies at the same time. This can lead to work-school conflict. Psychosocial safety climate in the work environment can be an antecedent because it can reduce work-school conflict. This study aims to examine the relationship between psychosocial safety climate and work-school conflict in working students. Data were collected using the PSC-12 and WSC scales through a Google Form. A total of 108 working students, selected through a convenience sampling method, participated in this study. Data analysis was done using multiple regression analysis tests. The results showed that psychosocial safety climate was able to predict work-school conflict (R2 = 0.067; p = .007, p < 0.05). Aspects of management support and commitment have the most significant role among the aspects of psychosocial safety climate in predicting work-school conflict in working students
The Effect of Hope and Self-Efficacy on Employee Burnout
Get PDFThe emergence of burnout can be caused by continuous work stress experienced by individuals. The occurrence of burnout can be influenced by the level of hope possessed by employees, whether employees will be able or not to perceive their goals, use goals as motivation, and prepare alternative strategies to overcome problems at work. Individuals who have good self-efficacy will see a difficult job as a challenge and prevent burnout from occurring. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hope and self-efficacy on burnout that occurs in employees. The sampling technique used was quota sampling. The respondents were civil servants, male and female, aged between 23 – 57 years old, who work at the Ngudi Waluyo Hospital agency, Blitar Regency as many as 150 people, including 59 administrative employees and 91 nurses. This study used SHS (State Hope Scale), the Bandura self-efficacy scale; the burnout instrument used a scale compiled by a previous researcher (Sasmita, 2016) by measuring three aspects of burnout, namely fatigue, cynicism, and inefficiency. Multiple linear regressions were used to analyze the data. The results showed that hope and self-efficacy simultaneously had an effect on burnout (17, 1%), and partially hope had a significant negative effect on burnout. However, interestingly self-efficacy had no effect on burnout

Empathic Communication Training to Increase Family Resilience
Get PDFAs the smallest unit of society, the family inevitably encounters various challenges in supporting each member as they navigate their personal developmental tasks. As such, families must develop the ability to persevere through obstacles and adverse events, maintaining their function and role in society while demonstrating family resilience. This study uses an experimental method to investigate the effects of empathic communication training on increasing family resilience. Six families comprising 15 individuals participated in the study conducted in Kulon Progo, Indonesia. The assessment was conducted using a resilience scale and focused group discussion. The result demonstrates a significant increase in family resilience (Z= -2.226, p <0.05) following the emphatic communication training. Therefore, empathic communication training is a feasible alternative for enhancing family resilience
Adaptation of The Career Decision Ambiguity Tolerance Scale
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic has led to various changes that increased a possibility for university students to experience career ambiguity. Those with a high tolerance for career ambiguity perceive ambiguous situations as advantageous and do not reject the complexity of the discrepancy. This study aimed to yield the Indonesian version of the Career Decision Ambiguity Tolerance Scale and examine the construct validity and concurrent validity of the adapted version. This study involved 1256 first-year students (58.7% female, mean age = 18.23 years, SD age = .66) from a public university in Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected using measures of ambiguity tolerance in choosing a career, career decision-making self-efficacy, and vocational identity. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to examine the structure of the factor of the final scale, showing good fit indices (CMIN/df = 2.93, CFI = .97, TLI = .96, RMSEA = .04). Reliability coefficients of each the three subscales were satisfactory. Concurrent validity was shown by expected associations with measures of career decision-making self-efficacy and vocational identity
