2024-10-19T02:48:45+00:00

Mental health, especially depression, is a serious global issue. This problem of moodiness affects individuals. This research aims to analyze Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is integrated with the Redha Concept in dealing with the problem of depression among students. This study also adapts an approach that is in line with the cultural and spiritual values of the local community, with the hope of providing more relevant solutions to students' mental health problems. This experimental quantitative study involved 291 Sixth Form students who completed the 21-item Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS21) to measure their level of depression. Of this number, 12 students were randomly selected based on their depression stage to take part in the intervention session and complete the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9) at pre- and post-intervention levels. Data analysis was carried out using the Friedman test and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to assess changes in the stages of depression. The results of the study showed a significant reduction in levels of moodiness after therapy sessions, with median scores decreasing from 12.00 to 8.00 (p < 0.001). In conclusion, CBT integrated with the Redha Concept has the potential to be an effective approach in reducing student depression, with implications that show the importance of applying this approach on a wider scale to support students' mental well-being, especially in the cultural and spiritual context of Brunei society.

Intergenerational Trauma: Exploring Transmission Mechanisms in Post-Conflict Families

2024-09-22T01:04:21+00:00

Trauma due to communal conflict creates a lasting impact even after the conflict has ended. Trauma not only affects individuals who experience it directly, but also has an impact on the family and social environment, which in turn has an impact across generational boundaries. This study aims to explore and analyze the mechanisms of intergenerational trauma transmission in post-conflict families, where trauma can be transmitted both directly and indirectly through psychological, family, and social interactions. The approach used is qualitative with a case study design, involving parents who experience conflict and children who are not directly involved. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods, and their validity was strengthened using triangulation of data sources. The results of the study indicate that the transmission of trauma in families occurs through two main aspects: parenting patterns and the influence of the social environment. Parenting patterns that are formed from traumatic experiences of parents after conflict, especially those that have not been handled properly, tend to be overprotective and full of strict instructions. The social environment becomes a place for children to confirm the trauma received from parenting patterns which then strengthen the transmission of this trauma. These two aspects are interrelated in forming patterns and processes of intergenerational trauma transmission.

Social Interaction between Siblings in Families Who Have Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

2024-09-22T01:06:42+00:00

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are characterized by deficits in social interaction such as in initiating, developing, and maintaining it. This ultimately affects the dynamics of social interaction between siblings. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of interaction and contributing factors. Participants consisted of 4 people, namely 2 pairs of siblings from 2 families (1 sibling with ASD and 1 sibling without ASD from each family). The method used was qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews and observations of all participants and parents. The results of the study showed that there were actions that influenced each other's behavior in daily interactions due to various contributing factors including gender, birth order, age, sibling behavior, and parental roles. Interactions between siblings, one of whom had ASD, ultimately still occurred even though more dynamics and obstacles were found, but harmonious interactions or conflicts that occurred could be strengthened or reduced. This depends on the approach and support from those closest to them in helping children with ASD and their siblings respond to and manage situations in daily interactions. These findings indicate the importance of exploring the role of siblings, which is often overlooked, even though they are the closest figures. Sibling interactions can improve social skills, strengthen emotional bonds, and enhance well-being for children with ASD and their siblings. This review suggests further exploration of similar topics, from multiple perspectives, to enrich further literature.

Empathy in the Digital Age: The Role of Self-Control and Social Control in Addressing Cyberviolence

2024-10-30T00:44:23+00:00

The increasingly advanced digital era, the phenomenon of cyber violence or digital violence is increasingly disturbing. This study aims to analyze the influence of self-control and social control (the role of parents and peers) on cyber violence. This study uses a quantitative approach, the sample consists of 250 high school students. Data analysis uses a structural transaction model (SEM). The results of the study showed a significant correlation between empathy and cyber violence, where individuals with low levels of empathy tend to engage in violent behavior online. Self-control is also significantly correlated with cyber violence; low levels of self-control are associated with detrimental behavior online. An interesting finding is the role of parents, where poor emotional relationships and lack of parental supervision contribute to cyber violence. No correlation was found between peer influence and cyber violence, indicating that social learning theory is stronger in the context of delinquent behavior with peers than cyber violence. Empathy also acts as a mediator between self-control and cyber violence, where high empathy strengthens the positive influence of self-control in avoiding detrimental behavior online. This study provides important insights for the prevention and control of cyber violence, emphasizing the importance of empathy, self-control, and the role of parents in shaping positive behavior in cyberspace.
