2024-09-01T18:25:31+07:00

Introduction: Self-harm behavior is a form of maladaptive coping mechanism that is very harmful because it can cause injury and even threaten the individual's life. Several factors cause self-harm behavior in early adolescence, one of the factors is family dysfunction. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family functioning and self-harm behavior in early adolescents at the Agricultural Area of Jember.

Method: This study used a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample was obtained through a proportional stratified random technique with a total of 376 respondents. The independent variable in this study is family function and the dependent variable is self-harm behavior in early adolescents. Data was collected using the Family APGAR and Deliberate Self-harm Inventory (DSHI) questionnaires.

Results: The result showed that family function is in the high category, 224 respondents (59,6%), and self-harm behavior is low self-harm, 319 respondents (84,8%). There is a relationship between family function and self-harm behavior in early adolescents in the agricultural area of Jember (p = 0,001 and r = -0,131) very weak and negative correlation. Poor communication between family members can lead to inner conflict and negative emotions that put individuals at risk of self-harm. The data was analyzed by Kendall's Tau C correlation test.

Conclusions: Early adolescents with low family functioning are more at risk of self-harm. This study can be used as a guideline for schools, psychiatric nurses and community nurses to develop appropriate nursing interventions for early adolescents who engage in self-harm behavior.

2024-05-01T10:22:28+07:00

Introduction: Adolescence is a key period for mental health, as over half of mental health problems begin during this stage and often persist into adulthood. Many adolescents, however, lack access to specialized care. This research aims to examine the impact of adaptation training on mental health resilience in adolescents, utilizing the Roy Adaptation Model.

Method: This quasi-experimental study followed a pre-test-post-test control group design. The sample consisted of 100 adolescents, divided into an experimental group (50 respondents) and a control group (50 respondents), selected using purposive sampling. The experimental group participated in six weeks of adaptation training, with one session held each week. The training aimed to help adolescents better adapt to stressors, fostering mental resilience. The Adolescent Resilience Questionnaire (ARQ) was used to measure resilience, specifically evaluating the capacity to achieve positive outcomes despite facing challenges. The Wilcoxon Paired test was applied to assess differences within each group before and after the intervention, and the Mann-Whitney test was used to compare outcomes between the two groups. Both tests utilized an ordinal scale for analysis.

Results: The Mann-Whitney test results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups, with a p-value of 0.000. This indicates that adaptation training had a positive effect on increasing adolescent mental resilience.

Conclusion: Adaptation training is effective in improving adolescents' mental resilience. It has the potential to be integrated into school programs to support mental health promotion and prevention, offering a proactive approach to addressing adolescent mental health challenges.

2024-02-19T11:37:59+07:00

Background: Adolescents in fulfilling their growth and development tasks, impact their biology, cognitive, emotional, psychosexual, language, psychosocial and behaviour entering adulthood. The problem adolescents often encounter, in the form of behaviour resulting from this transition period, is how to behave assertively. Therapeutic group therapy allows adolescents to optimally fulfil their growth and development tasks and change their behaviour to be more adaptive.

Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a sample of 76 adolescents (38 intervention and 38 control). The instruments used were assertive behaviour, behaviour observation sheets, and therapeutic group therapy modules. The intervention group received 7 therapeutic group therapy sessions, each 30-45 minutes. The Assertiveness Inventory by Alberti and Emmons was used to measure adolescent assertive behaviour. Meanwhile, this study used a dependent t-test for data analysis.

Results: Respondent characteristics included adolescents aged 13-15 years, females (52.63%), parents' educational level of Bachelor (63.16%), and parents' occupation as employees (42.11). The results show that aspects of adolescent self-development have a mean value of emotional (0.588), cognitive (0.533), language (0.435), and psychosocial (0.378). This indicates that there is a significant and meaningful influence on adolescents' assertive behaviour before and after TGT (α=0.05 and p-value <0.001).

Conclusion: Therapeutic group therapy can improve adolescents' self-development abilities (including growth and development tasks) and assertive behaviour. Therapy can be used as a learning program at school/home by involving teachers, parents, and the community to improve the quality of life for adolescents.

As a result, the Skewness value was 0.409, the Kurtosis value was -0.370, and it was determined that the data showed a normal distribution between -3 and +3.

Results: The mean age of the students in the study was 26.8% 15 years old, 62.2% were male, and 27% were 9th-grade students. The mean total score of the students was 41.11±17.74 for the Appearance-Related Social Media Consciousness Scale and 29.36±6.35 for the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. It was determined that there was a positive correlation between the scores of the Appearance-Related Social Media Consciousness Scale and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (p<0.05).

Conclusions: In conclusion, it was observed that increasing social media appearance consciousness scores was associated with higher self-esteem levels.

Data was taken using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman's rank test. Results: There is a relationship between FoMO and body image in female adolescents (p=0,031<0.05 and (r) = -0,156). For the peer social support variable, the value obtained was p=0,568>0,05, which means there is no relationship. Discussion: FoMO may be related to body image. Peer social support is not associated with body
