Migration process experience and its impact on well-being among women immigrants in Indonesia
Get PDFWomen and children in many countries are forced to migrate due to prolonged civil wars and conflicts. The factors and conditions that affect the well-being of immigrant and refugee populations residing in host countries are not widely known. This study aims to identify and explore the personal experiences and migration processes that affect the well-being of immigrant women in Indonesia. A qualitative method and case study design were implemented. Eight refugee women from three different countries were interviewed: Somalia, Palestine, and Afghanistan. It was found that the contexts of identification, personal experiences, the migration process, and the motives or triggers for migration were important factors in influencing the women’s present and future well-being. The study provides implications for the theory of the model used. The application of the theory assisted the researchers to construct a conceptual framework of the subjective well-being of immigrant women
Parenting stress, social support, self-compassion, and parenting practices among mothers of children with ASD and ADHD
Get PDFParenting of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) faces many challenges and often causes stress amongst parents. This study aims sto analyze the differences in parenting stress, perceptions of social support, self-compassion, and parenting practices in groups of mothers of ASD children and of ADHD children. The Parental Stress Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Self-compassion Scale, and the Parent Construct were used to collect the study data. The survey was taken voluntarily online by 34 mothers of ASD children (52%) and 31 mothers of ADHD children (48%). MANOVA and regression analysis were performed to test the study hypothesis. The results show that there was no significant difference in parenting stress (F=0.04, p>.05), social support (F=0.16 – 0.31, p>.05), self-compassion (F=0.01 – 1.46, p>.05), and parenting practices (F=0.04 – 2.29, p>.05) between the two groups. Parenting stress had a significant negative effect on parenting practices in both groups studied (p<.05). The study provides an overview of the parenting practices of parents of ASD and ADHD children in Indonesia
Children’s and adolescents’ reports on their quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic
Get PDFCOVID-19 affects human life, but very few studies have examined the quality of life of children and adolescents during the pandemic. This article aims to report on the quality of life of children and adolescents (N = 1,474; ages 10-18 years) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Data were collected using Google Forms and convenience sampling. The measuring instrument used measured five domains of quality of life, namely material, physical, social, emotional, and productive well-being. The data were analyzed using crosstab, frequency, comparison of mean values, and ANOVA. The results show that children and adolescents have been able to maintain their subjective well-being and adapt to unpleasant situations during the lockdown. Younger boys and girls show significantly higher mean scores than older ones. Children and adolescents reported that they were bored because they had limited physical activities, were dissatisfied with school closures and with what they had learnt at home, and were frustrated by the limited contact they had with friends. The research has implications in providing advice to parents, teachers, children, and adolescents to improve the quality of life of children and adolescents during the pandemic
Parental bonding as a predictor of hope in adolescents
Get PDFHope plays an important role in individuals’ attempts to overcome various problems in a positive way and with positive results. This study aims to examine the effect of parent-child attachment on the existence of hope. The research method involved a quantitative approach. The accidental sampling technique was used to determine the sample and identified 400 adolescents consisting of junior and senior high school students aged 12-19 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Parent-child attachment was measured using the Parental Bonding Instrument, while expectation was measured using Snyder's Hope Scale. The data were analyzed using linear regression to predict the relationship between parent and child attachment and expectations. The results show that warm and loving care from the father (B = 0.37, p < .001] and the mother (B = 0.47, p < .001], as well as the provision of autonomy by the father (B = 0.52, p < .001] and mother (B = 0.38, p <.01] proved to be predictors of adolescent expectations, while over-protection from the father (B = 0.03, p> .05]) and the mother (B = -0.18, p> .05) were not predictors of the existence of hope. The implications of the research results could serve as a reference for the parenting practice and guidance to adolescents both in the contexts of family and school education
Psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale: Factor structure, reliability, gender, and age measurement invariance
Get PDFMeasuring instruments that have satisfactory psychometric properties are needed to improve mental health research and services, especially in the effort to measure, identify, and monitor psychological problems experienced by individuals. The purpose of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS). The study involved 1922 participants aged 16-26 in Surabaya, Indonesia. Data collection was made using the convenience sampling method. Testing of the factor structure, reliability, and measurement invariance of the Indonesian version of the DASS was conducted using confirmatory factor analysis, composite reliability, and multi-group analysis. It was found that the bifactor model consisting of specific factors (depression, anxiety, and stress) and general factors (psychological distress) was the best factor structure of the Indonesian version of the DASS (GFI = .954, CFI = .956, RMSEA = .049). In addition, this version has satisfactory composite reliability (.806 – .917) and gender measurement is invariant. The findings indicate that the Indonesian version of the DASS was a valid and reliable measurement tool to measure and compare depression, anxiety, stress, and psychological distress between genders in the Indonesian sample
Factors inhibiting the psychological recovery process of children in conflict with the law
Get PDFPsychological assistance is crucial in recovering the psychological condition of children in conflict with the law. The City Government of Semarang, Indonesia has responded to this need with a school-based restorative justice program. This study aims to explore the factors that can hinder the psychological recovery process of children in conflict with the law during the implementation of the program. A qualitative approach was employed, based on case studies of three children in conflict with the law, with their significant others as participants. Case study data analysis techniques were employed, namely matching patterns, building explanations, finding model logic, and synthesizing cases. The results show that negative peer support, drug abuse, negative role models, emotional detachment, and negative stigma towards children in conflict with the law can be factors that hinder their psychological recovery process. The findings could provide the basis for practitioners in the preparation of psychological interventions that are relevant to the psychological recovery needs of children
Exploring gender differences in the vulnerability towards drug abuse among adolescents in Malaysia
Get PDFProtective and risk factors are important issues to consider to reduce the vulnerability of adolescents to drug abuse. This study aims to determine the vulnerability to drug abuse in terms of gender differences in high-risk areas, based on statistics/data from the National Anti Narcotics Agency of Malaysia, namely in Sabak Bernam, Dungun, Johor Bahru, and Kuala Kedah. A survey method was employed, with 213 adolescents (52.1% male, 47.9% female) who met the inclusion criteria completing the questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of five aspects, namely demographic profile, interpersonal conflict, negative emotions, social support, and mental health. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the analysis show that there was no significant difference in aspects of interpersonal conflict (t=-0.556, p > .05), negative emotions (t=0.131, p>.05), or mental health by gender (t=-0.898, p > .05). However, there was a significant difference in the aspect of social support (t=-2.046, p <.05), with female subjects (37.13) showing a higher mean score than males (34.83). The findings of the study indicate that it is very important to understand the relevant factors so that drug abuse can be identified and prevented early on
Couple resilience predicted marital satisfaction but not well-being and health for married couples in Bali, Indonesia
Get PDFMarried couples face various challenges in their married life, with divorce being one of the threats to their relationship. Spouse resilience is the process by which couples manage marital challenges through positive relationship behavior. This study examines the resilience of partners by including negative behavior in the relationships and examines the effects of interactions between partners. Three hundred couples living in Bali, Indonesia (length of marriage of between 1-10 years) participated by reporting positive and negative behaviors, and the outcomes of their relationship (marital satisfaction, emotional well-being, and general health status). The measurement instruments employed were the Couple Resilience Inventory, Satisfaction with Married Life Scale, and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey. Model fit analysis showed that behavior in relationships did not predict the outcomes referred to above, and that there was no interaction effect between partners. However, positive behavior showed a higher probability of predicting marital satisfaction, especially for wives (β = .271; β = .403; p < .001). The implications of these findings provide practical suggestions for future partner resilience research to apply a longitudinal approach that repeatedly measures the outcomes of resilience
Coping strategy and substance use disorders: The mediating role of drug hazard knowledge
Get PDFSubstance Use Disorder (SUD) is a social phenomenon that has plagued communities, including adolescents. Coping strategy and drug hazard knowledge are seen as important factors in curbing drug use amongst young people. This study aims to identify the indirect influence of coping strategy through drug hazard knowledge as a mediator in substance use disorders. The research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, with a sample of 381 adolescents, 313 males and 68 females, selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research instruments comprised the Drugs Abuse Screening Test-28, a coping scale, and drug hazard knowledge scale. AMOS 20.0 for Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used for the analysis. The results show no significant indirect influence of coping strategy through drug hazard knowledge as a mediator in substance use disorder among adolescents. This indicates that drug hazard knowledge has no significant influence on substance use disorders
The influence of socioeconomic status on job and life satisfaction among low-income employees in Johor Local Authorities
Get PDFMany studies have found that a low socioeconomic status has a negative impact on welfare. However, contextual evidence on this issue in Malaysia is scarce. Therefore, this study attempts to quantitatively examine the effect of socioeconomic status on life and job satisfaction among low-income employees working in the public. The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Work Domain Satisfaction Scale (WDSS), and Socioeconomic Questionnaire were presented to 265 respondents chosen using a convenience sampling technique. The data were then analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and SmartPLS 3.0 equation modeling. The results show that socioeconomic status had a positive effect on life satisfaction (t = 4.581; p < .001) and job satisfaction (t = 3.423; p < .001). Thus, this study contributes to the provision of better insights into the socioeconomic status factors that determine life and job satisfaction, especially among low-income employees working in the public sector in Malaysia
