2024-08-16T20:48:11+07:00

Introduction: The relationship between students' tolerance for anger and their daily gaming habits significantly affects their emotional and academic well-being. Excessive gaming can contribute to increased anger issues and negative psychological outcomes, which individual sleep patterns may also influence. This study aims to develop effective strategies for emotional regulation and mental well-being by examining the impact of sleep duration and online gaming on students' ability to manage anger.

Method: This cross-sectional research design involved 149 students from various departments at Rajshahi University, selected based on gender and place of residence. The study utilized the Anger Tolerance Scale (ATS). Participants were chosen through convenience sampling, and data were collected using questionnaires. Correlation analysis was performed, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS Statistics. The study achieved a Cronbach's alpha of 0.82, indicating acceptable internal consistency.

Results: The findings indicated a positive correlation between daily sleep hours and anger tolerance, while daily gaming habits negatively impacted this tolerance. Additionally, less sleep was linked to more time spent playing online games.

Conclusions: The study found that students' anger tolerance is closely tied to sleep patterns and gaming habits. Insufficient sleep and excessive gaming hinder effective anger management. These findings highlight the need to evaluate sleep and gaming behaviors to help students manage emotions, offering insights for mental health professionals and educational institutions.

Introduction: South Sulawesi has a high prevalence of mental disorders, affecting 8.8% of households. However, limited public awareness about mental health perpetuates stigma toward individuals with mental disorders and their families, significantly increasing the burden on caregivers. This study aims to identify the relationship between stigma and the caregiving burden experienced by families of individuals with mental disorders at Dadi Regional Special Hospital in South Sulawesi Province.

Method: This study is a quantitative study with a Cross-Sectional research design. The dependent variable is family burden and the independent is stigma. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling involving 94 respondents using the Stigma Items questionnaire from SCAN and the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). Data analysis included univariate analysis to outline frequency distributions and percentages of the variables, alongside bivariate analysis to assess the correlation between stigma and family burden through the Spearman rank correlation test.

Results: The results indicated that over half (58.5%) of families reported low stigma, while 51.1% experienced a mild to moderate burden. Statistical analysis using the Spearman correlation test revealed a significant relationship between stigma and family burden (p = 0.000 < 0.05). The correlation coefficient (r = 0.522) reflects a strong positive relationship, suggesting that increased stigma correlates with higher family burden among those caring for individuals with mental disorders.

Conclusions: There is a strong correlation between stigma and family burden in caring for people with mental disorders at Dadi Regional Special Hospital in South Sulawesi Province.

Introduction: Many adolescents reported experiencing anxiety, stress, and depression due to poor time management and obsessive celebrity worship. This study aimed to explore the connection between self-control, celebrity worship, and mental health in adolescent K-pop fans.

Methods: The research employed a quantitative approach with a correlative study design and a cross-sectional methodology. A total of 117 adolescent K-pop fans were selected using purposive sampling. The independent variables were self-control and celebrity worship, while mental health was the dependent variable. The Self-Control Scale (SCS) questionnaire, the Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS), and the Mental-Health Inventory-38 (MHI-38) were used for data collection. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rho test at a significance level of <0.05.

Results: The majority of late teens who are K-Pop fans demonstrate moderate levels of self-control (72.6%), moderate celebrity worship (76.9%), and mild mental health (71.8%). The research highlights a significant relationship between self-control and celebrity worship (p<0.05, r= -0.207) and mental health (p<0.05, r=0.287) in adolescent K-Pop fans, and celebrity worship (p<0.05, r= -0.213) was related to mental health in adolescent K-Pop fans.

Conclusion: Higher self-control is associated with lower celebrity worship and better mental health, whereas excessive celebrity worship is linked to poorer mental health. Awareness is needed from parents, schools, and health workers to engage with adolescents to help them recognize celebrity worship behaviors, promote self-control, cope with stress, maintain sound mental well-being, and set clear future goals.
