The increasing prevalence of self-harm behavior among adolescents presents a serious concern for schools and mental health practitioners, creating an urgent demand for research that explores underlying psychological determinants, including the role of emotional maturity in shaping students' coping responses to emotional distress. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between emotional maturity and self-harm behavior among tenth and eleventh-grade adolescents at SMK Negeri 16 Jakarta. This study employed a quantitative correlational design using a survey approach. Emotional maturity and self-harm behavior were measured using Likert-scale questionnaires. A total of 108 students from three classes participated in the study. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The results showed a significant relationship between emotional maturity and self-harm behavior. These findings indicate that higher emotional maturity is associated with a lower likelihood of self-harm behavior among students at SMK Negeri 16 Jakarta.

Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) are widely prescribed for erectile dysfunction; however, growing evidence indicates that their pharmacological effects extend beyond urological indications and involve multiple organ systems. This narrative review aims to synthesize and critically evaluate current evidence on the systemic effects of PDE5 inhibitors across cardiovascular, renal, neurological, and urological domains, as well as emerging therapeutic indications. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published up to May 2024, including preclinical studies, clinical trials, observational studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. The reviewed evidence demonstrates that PDE5 inhibitors are associated with reduced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, improvements in cardiac and pulmonary hemodynamics, preservation of renal function in diabetic populations, potential neuroprotective effects against cognitive decline and ischemic stroke, and symptomatic improvement in benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms. Additional benefits have been reported in conditions characterized by vascular dysfunction, such as angina pectoris and Raynaud’s phenomenon. Overall, PDE5 inhibitors represent a pharmacologically versatile drug class with clinically relevant systemic effects beyond erectile dysfunction, supporting their potential role as adjunctive therapies in broader disease management, although further well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to inform clinical guidelines.

Technological developments and the increasing use of smartphones have influenced adolescents' social interaction patterns, including the emergence of phubbing behavior, which is the tendency to ignore others because of focusing on mobile phones. Low self-control is suspected to be a contributing factor to this behavior. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-control and phubbing behavior among students of SMK Tri Arga 2 West Jakarta. The study used a quantitative approach with a simple random sampling technique and involved 200 students as a sample. The instruments used were the Self-Control Scale and the Phubbing Behavior Scale with a 4-point Likert model. All items were declared valid and reliable through validity tests and Cronbach's Alpha > 0.70. Data analysis used the Pearson Correlation test via SPSS version 26. The results showed a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05) and a correlation value of -0.570, indicating a significant and negative relationship between self-control and phubbing behavior. The higher the student's self-control, the lower the phubbing behavior they exhibit. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of guidance and counseling services, particularly in strengthening self-control as a preventive effort to reduce phubbing behavior in the school environment.

Father involvement during adolescence remains relatively low and may negatively impact boys' social skills and emotional regulation. This research aims to provide deeper insight into how adolescent boys’ attachment to their fathers contributes to their social-emotional development. This study employed an associative quantitative method involving 71 respondents selected through purposive sampling, based on the criteria of male students aged 15–18 years who lived with their fathers. Data were collected using adapted research instruments, namely the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) and the Social-Emotional and Character Development Scale (SECDS). Simple linear regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis. The results show a significant influence of father–son attachment on social-emotional development (Fcount = 15.817 > Ftable = 3.98; p < 0.05). The determination coefficient (R Square) of 0.186 indicates that 18.6% of the variation in social-emotional development is explained by attachment to fathers, while the remaining 81.4% is influenced by other unexamined factors. The findings highlight the importance of fathers' involvement in fostering adolescents' social-emotional development. Therefore, schools are encouraged to optimize guidance and counseling services by providing family engagement programs, including parenting workshops and father–child counseling, to strengthen paternal support.

Adolescents face various developmental challenges, ranging from academic demands, social relationships, to the search for identity, all of which can affect how they assess themselves. This study aims to determine the effect of body image on students' self-confidence and its implications for guidance and counseling services. The research design used a quantitative correlational approach. The study sample consisted of 138 grade 10 students selected using a stratified random sampling method. The instruments used were the Body Image Inventory and the self-confidence Inventory. Data analysis was carried out using simple regression techniques and correlational analysis. The results showed that body image significantly influenced students' self-confidence. In addition, it was found that adolescents' self-confidence was in the moderate category, body image was in the neutral category, and both had a significant positive relationship.

Dinamika relasi antara pekerja sosial dan klien dalam tahapan pendampingan asesmen awal merupakan aspek kritis dalam praktik pekerjaan sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis interaksi, tantangan, dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi hubungan profesional antara pekerja sosial dan klien selama proses asesmen awal. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi literatur sehingga mengidentifikasi bahwa asesmen awal tidak hanya bersifat teknis tetapi juga melibatkan dimensi relasional yang kompleks. Keberhasilan asesmen sangat dipengaruhi oleh kemampuan pekerja sosial dalam membangun kepercayaan, komunikasi efektif, serta sensitivitas terhadap kebutuhan dan konteks sosial klien. Di sisi lain, faktor seperti bias profesional, keterbatasan waktu, dan hambatan struktural dapat menghambat dinamika relasi yang optimal. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa pendekatan berbasis kekuatan (strengths-based approach) dan partisipatif mampu meningkatkan keterlibatan klien, sehingga asesmen menjadi lebih holistik dan akurat. Implikasi dari temuan ini menekankan pentingnya pelatihan pekerja sosial dalam keterampilan interpersonal serta pengembangan kebijakan pendampingan yang berorientasi pada hak dan kebutuhan klien. Studi ini memberikan kontribusi teoretis dalam memahami kompleksitas relasi pekerja sosial-klien sekaligus rekomendasi praktis untuk meningkatkan efektivitas asesmen awal dalam intervensi pekerjaan sosial.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM), Upah Minimum Provinsi (UMP), dan inflasi terhadap tingkat kemiskinan di Provinsi Maluku selama periode 2005 hingga 2023. Data yang digunakan merupakan data sekunder dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) Provinsi Maluku dalam bentuk deret waktu. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah regresi berganda dengan desain korelasional prediktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara simultan ketiga variabel independen berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kemiskinan. Secara parsial, UMP dan inflasi berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap kemiskinan, sedangkan IPM justru menunjukkan pengaruh positif dan signifikan. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa peningkatan IPM belum sepenuhnya diikuti oleh pemerataan kesejahteraan. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan agar kebijakan pembangunan lebih menekankan pada aspek pemerataan agar efektif dalam mengurangi kemiskinan.
