Premarital Sexual Behavior among Papua Women: a Qualitative Research
Get PDFAbstract Sexual behavior outside of marriage means practicing sexual relations outside of marriage. This activity can cause problems like health and psychology of sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies, shyness, maternal mortality and HIV/ AIDS. This qualitative research was conducted in the city of Jayapura in November 2017, with the aim to know the attitude of women of Papua against premarital sexual behavior. Observations and interviews were conducted on seven unmarried Papuan women. Participants are in reproductive age (ie between 20 to 23 years). As expected, from the interview the three individuals did not accept this behavior. They say that this behavior is bad for the culture, morality, and value of society in general, especially for young women. Although premarital sexual behavior among Papuan women seems to be an unusual thing, they have knowledge about sexuality and the attitude of rejecting premarital sex. According to them talking about sexual problems in society was still a taboo. Strict cultural controls are a barrier to achieving sexual knowledge. Family factors, religiosity and value systems individual expected as an important factor in preventing premarital sexual behavior, especially among young women. Practical education, the development of individual value systems and the development of positive self-esteem should be given meaningfully to them to avoid and be protected from premarital sexual behavior. The priority of these activities should be given to youth, especially women of productive age. Keywords: Outside marriage, positive self esteem, individual value system, Papuan women   Â
PREDICTING HEALTH RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE IN INDONESIAN POST MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION PATIENTS
No full textMyocardial infarction is one of chronic illnesses that has a major impact to patient’s health related quality of life. This study tested three psychosocial factors (i.e. religious coping behaviour, cardiac anxiety and marital satisfaction) and two disease-related factors (i.e. left ventricular ejection fraction, comorbidity) in predicting health related quality of life in patients with post myocardial infarction in Indonesia. A cross sectional study included 170 patients with myocardial infarction was conducted. The patients completed four questionnaires: MacNew Health Related Quality of Life, Couple Satisfaction Index, Cardiac anxiety Questionnaire, and religious coping behaviour. The theoretical model was tested using structural equation modelling.  Results revealed that cardiac anxiety was negatively associated with health-related quality of life. Marital satisfaction was a significant moderator in the relationship between cardiac anxiety and health related quality of life. There were no significant relationships among patient’s comorbidity, left ventricular ejection fraction, religious coping behaviour and health related quality of life. Results of the study shed the light of the importance of protective effects of patient’s immediate environment in shaping patient’s health related quality of life

The Social Intervention for Adolescence with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): A Systematic Review
Get PDFAbstractThe systematic review aims to find the types of effective social interventions applied to adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in several articles selected through the screening process in 2010-2018. The review was conducted with search keywords "social intervention" and "autism spectrum disorder" on 3 online databases, namely ERIC, Springer Link, and ScienceDirect. There were 8 articles reviewed from a total of 420 obtained from screening results according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that the social skills of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be improved and developed through several interventions such as the Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS), Multimodal Anxiety and Social Skills Intervention (MASSI), Peer Network Intervention, and CBT-CSCA. The four interventions were significantly able to increase knowledge and social skills in adolescents who experienced ASD so that it could be a reference in the intervention process in subsequent applications. While measurement with the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) by Gresham & Elliot is the most comprehensive measurement in improving adolescent social skills. This evidenced by several articles that use this measurement and have a positive impact. The development of interventions on symbolic communication among adolescents with ASD needs to be applied in future research.Keywords: Social intervention, autism, adolescenc

Adjusting to Indonesia’s Culture: The Case of Expatriates in the Education Industry
Get PDFAbstract Globalization has resulted in an increased number of foreign workers in Indonesia. Nevertheless, not all foreign workers can easily adapt to the culture, business, and social situation of the host country. According to cross-cultural literature, the cultural adjustment has been considered as the prerequisite for the success of the expatriates overseas. This study aims to investigate factors that affect the success of the international assignment. Using a qualitative case study approach, this study interviewed five expatriates working in the education industry in Central Java based on the U-curve cultural adjustment theory. The result of this study demonstrates that the inability of an expatriate to adjust with the host country was due to the lack of preparation toward the culture of the host country, resistance with the new culture, conflict-avoiding behavior, and the lack of two-way communication between the expatriate and the local staffs.Keywords: Cross-cultural adjustment, cross-cultural management, expatriate, international assignment, U-curve
The Maternal Role On Emotional Competence Development of Early Childhood
No full textAbstractEmotional competence is a multi-dimensional construct, consists of the skills to recognize and understand emotions, express emotions appropriately, and regulate emotions. Emotional competence develops very rapidly during preschool age and helps the child's success in fulfilling the developmental task of that age, such as building a positive relationship with the social environment, regulating emotion in social interaction, as well as learning skills such as concentrating and following the teacher's direction. A number of studies also proved emotional competence as the predictor of social competence and academic competence of children. This article aims to discuss the theoretical review and research review on the maternal role in the development of children's emotional competence. It was found that mother has a protective factor through attachment and emotional socialization. Secure attachment helps the child to regulate negative emotions. Conversely, insecure attachment results in inadequate emotional regulation skills. Through the socialization of emotions by the mother, children learn to recognize emotions, express emotions, and regulate emotions. The maternal role is also related with cultural frames. Suggestions are given for further research on conceptual definition, instruments, and interventions to optimize the emotional competence of early childhood.Keywords: attachment, emotional socialization, emotional competence, early childhoo
