Community Social Behavior Toward Posyandu

Posyandu is a community-based health initiative created to tackle health improvement policies and make access to basic healthcare services, especially maternal and infant care, easier for the community. The success rate of reducing infant and maternal mortality depends on the extent to which the community actively participates in Posyandu activities, is cooperative and informative to officers, contributes ideas, and participates in the implementation of service innovations. This research aims to see how far Posyandu is implemented as it should be in the community, and to understand underlying factors of social behavior in society. This is a qualitative study that uses descriptive methodologies to explain the social behavior of the community toward posyandu. The results show that posyandu management is heavily reliant on the behavior of those involved in its services, from healthcare workers as service providers to community leaders and village officials as motivators in strengthening the posyandu because posyandu is a type of health effort made to empower the community and facilitate access to basic healthcare services to its members. On the other hand, the behavior of those who do not actively support and engage in posyandu initiatives might affect others and create problems within the community. Community empowerment is established by motivating elements to enhance family and community health, identifying needs and impediments to health services, and understanding available resources.

Tendencies in political and socio-economic development in the Middle East as a security factor

Why do the international organizations failed to maintain security of the countries within the Middle East region despite there had been economic contribution, politically stability, high social status and high military expenditure and efforts to protect environment? In the theory of securitization, it is important for a society to contribute to the world economy, be politically stable, consist high social status, increase military expenditure and consist a stable environment in order to maintain the security (Eroukhmanoff 2020). This theory does provide an understanding that security requires economic, political, social, military expenditure and environment contribution in a particular society. The reason behind such insecurity may be the activities of the international organization for MENA region, which causes a difficulty of insecurity by changing the local moral economic, political, social, military, environment values of the people. The activities of the international organization only support the Individual behavior through, which contributes to the democratic leadership. The failure of the international organization to respect different economic, political, social, military, environment values of the countries in the Middle East, the countries within the Middle East region remains insecure. Thus, it is necessary for the international organizations to consider establishing activities consisting of both individuals and family or community economic, social, political, military and environment behavior which will not only bridge the gap between democracy and autocracy, will enhance the respect and leadership of the international organization but will also ensure security in the countries within the MENA regions.

Assessing social competence and antisocial behaviors in children: item response theory analysis of the home and community social behavior scales

BackgroundThe Home and Community Social Behavior Scales (HCSBS) is a rating scale that assesses social competence and antisocial behavior among children and youths between ages 5–18. The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the HCSBS by applying item response theory (IRT).MethodsThe HCSBS was completed by parents of 551 Norwegian children refereed to three independent interventions towards problem behaviors. Data used in this study was collected before the interventions started. IRT was carried out in R version 4.0.0 to investigate HCSBS items, subscales and main scales.ResultsThe results showed that the two-dimensional IRT models for social competence and antisocial behavior were the most appropriate. The measurement precision of the scales was high for a large range of the latent spectrum, and estimated reliabilities were satisfactory. Model evaluations indicated that the overall model fit for the scales were acceptable, but some misfit existed with respect to specific item pairs.ConclusionThe results indicate that the HCSBS is a reliable measurement instrument although there is still a potential for improvement by revising some of the items.

Social entrepreneurship mengatasi krisis sosial dan ekonomi di masa Covid-19: perspektif ekonomi islam

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the world's economic and social crisis. The implementation of Social Distancing causes a fundamental change in the community's social behavior and a decrease in the level of the economy due to restrictions on mobility and economic activities. Difficulties from the government and industry to rise must be encouraged by initiatives and breakthroughs from the community to grow together with the emergence of social solidarity. Starting from this sense of empathy and concern, this paper analyzes the importance of developing social entrepreneurship and its supporting elements, namely altruism and social capital or trust, in realizing sustainable economic goals in overcoming the current social and economic problems. Using a literature review approach with content and comparative analysis approach, this article on the perspective of social entrepreneurship will touch on the paradigm of classical/conventional capitalist economic theory, which has the opportunity to be perfected by Islamic Economics. It is time for the economy to prioritize a socially oriented approach rather than a money-oriented one. So it is hoped that it will foster a sense of empathy and spread kindness which is a reflection of Islamic religious values, namely the principle of justice and the benefit of the people, as the ultimate goal to go to Falah (the glory of life in this world and the hereafter).

Alfred Schutz's Phenomenological Analysis of Community Social Behavior in Responding to Cooking Oil Scarcity

The purpose of this study was to analyze the community's social behavior in responding to the scarcity of cooking oil using the phenomenological point of view developed by Alfred Schutz. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological framework approach because it focuses on exploring the experience and meaning of phenomena to gain learning in a multicultural society. This study uses two types of data: primary and secondary data. Preliminary data were collected through interviews with five people through a random purposive sampling method, while secondary data were collected through literature studies. The research was conducted in January 2022. According to Alfred Schutz, phenomenological analysis demands the discovery of the world that follows what is experienced by the person concerned. The meaning is divided into several views, and some subjects interpret the phenomenon of panic buying as caused by the actions of the oligarchs who are not in favor of the community, as an indicator of the government's lack of seriousness in balancing market prices in the community, or also interpreted as another effect of the pandemic which has disrupted the economic sector.

Music Therapy with Children Whose Mothers Are in Residential Treatment for Substance Use Disorders: A Program Evaluation

Abstract Children who experience multiple stressors may benefit from music therapy programming that addresses the development of social skills, self-expression, and coping mechanisms. Emerging evidence supports the use of improvisation techniques, group songwriting, and drumming activities to support self-regulation and increase social competence. In this article, we aimed to describe the inception and evaluate the implementation of a music therapy program for children at a residential treatment facility for women with substance use disorders (SUDs) at Dove’s Nest, a residential facility for women with SUDs. In this facility, children can reside with their mothers during the length of treatment. We collected pre/post data from children ages 5–11 (N = 20) who attended 8 nonconsecutive music therapy sessions by asking the mothers to complete the Home and Community Social Behavior Scale (HCSBS; Merrell, K. W., & Caldarella, P. (2008). Home & Community Social Behavior Scales user’s guide. Paul H. Brookes Publishing Company). Statistical analyses showed no significant changes on individual HCSBS subscale pre–post comparisons. The total number of scale items on HCSBS flagged as areas of concern was reduced both in social competence (31 pre to 6 post or a decrease of 80.65%) and antisocial behavior (34 pre to 17 post or a decrease of 50%) scales. Evaluation results indicated that even though the children assessed may score within average ranges for social competence and antisocial behaviors, they still exhibit a high number of areas of concern at baseline, particularly in the defiant/disruptive category, which warrants preventive interventions. Clinicians may need to focus on interventions that promote social integration, self-regulation, and assertiveness while addressing behaviors such as blaming and attention seeking.

The clinical utility of the Children’s Communication Checklist-2 in children with early childhood traumatic brain injury

Objective Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with long-term cognitive and behavioral deficits. Social communication impairments are common and impact functional outcomes, such as social engagement and academic performance. There are many barriers to identifying social communication deficits following TBI, including the absence of a standardized parent-reported communication measure for use in this population. The Children’s Communication Checklist—Second Edition (CCC-2) has demonstrated utility in identifying communication deficits in diagnoses other than TBI. This study investigated the clinical utility of the CCC-2’s social communication scales in children with TBI. Method: 203 children who sustained TBI or orthopedic injuries between the ages of 36 and 83 months were recruited as part of a larger, longitudinal study. We analyzed social communication subscale scores from the CCC-2 an average of 3.5 years postinjury. We used binary logistic regression analyses to examine the measure’s accuracy in classifying children with and without social communication deficits on other measures of pragmatic language and social competence. Correlation analyses and linear mixed models were used to examine the construct validity of the CCC-2. Results: The CCC-2 was able to accurately classify those with and without pragmatic language impairments on the Comprehensive Assessment of Spoken Language 92% of the time (sensitivity = 55%) and 96% of the time on the Home and Community Social Behavior scale (sensitivity = 72%). The CCC-2 demonstrated strong correlations with and predictive validity for measures of social communication and competence. Conclusions: The findings offer support for the clinical utility of the CCC-2 in the pediatric TBI population.

Structural language, pragmatic communication, behavior, and social competence in children adopted internationally: A pilot study

ABSTRACTThe objectives of this study were to examine the association of structural language and pragmatic communication with behavior problems and social competence in girls adopted internationally. Participants included girls between 6–12 years of age who were internationally adopted from China (n = 32) and Eastern-Europe (n = 25) and a control group of never-adopted girls (n = 25). Children completed the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence. Parents completed the Child Communication Checklist- second edition, the Child Behavior Checklist, and the Home and Community Social Behavior Scales. Compared to the controls, parents in the Eastern European group reported more problems with social competence, externalizing behaviors, structural language, and pragmatic communication. The Chinese group evidenced more internalizing problems. Using generalized linear regression, interaction terms were examined to determine if the associations of pragmatic communication and structural language with behavior problems and social competence varied across groups. Controlling for general intellectual functioning, poorer pragmatic communication was associated with more externalizing problems and poorer social competence. In the Chinese group, poorer pragmatic communication was associated with more internalizing problems. Post-adoption weaknesses in pragmatic communication are associated with behavior problems and social competence. Internationally adopted children may benefit from interventions that target pragmatic communication.

Social Competence of Adolescents in Residential Substance Abuse Treatment

ABSTRACTWhile substance use disorder (SUD) is a multifaceted problem stemming from both genetic and non-genetic factors, one of the factors that might influence substance use in adolescents is their ability to interact effectively and build healthy relationships with others. Social competence is both a protective factor against SUD and, in its deficiency, a risk factor for SUD. To explore the link between social competence and SUD, the current study aimed to measure the social competence of residents of a youth treatment center and to compare the results to those of a normed sample. Addiction counselors completed the Home and Community Social Behavior Scales (HCSBS) on 54 youths in residential addiction treatment. Results showed that males were significantly more likely than females to be in the “at risk” category for social competence and, in particular, for peer relations. Implications for treatment are discussed.

Intelligence, Attention, and Behavioral Outcomes in Internationally Adopted Girls with a History of Institutionalization

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of neurocognitive functioning with internalizing and externalizing problems and school and social competence in children adopted internationally. Method: Participants included girls between the ages of 6–12 years who were internationally adopted from China (n = 32) or Eastern Europe (n = 25) and a control group of never-adopted girls (n = 25). Children completed the Vocabulary and Matrix Reasoning subtests from the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence and the Score! and Sky Search subtests from the Test of Everyday Attention for Children. Parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist and the Home and Community Social Behavior Scales. Results: Compared to the controls, the Eastern European group evidenced significantly more problems with externalizing behaviors and school and social competence and poorer performance on measures of verbal intelligence, perceptual reasoning, and auditory attention. More internalizing problems were reported in the Chinese group compared to the controls. Using generalized linear regression, interaction terms were examined to determine whether the associations of neurocognitive functioning with behavior varied across groups. Eastern European group status was associated with more externalizing problems and poorer school and social competence, irrespective of neurocognitive test performance. In the Chinese group, poorer auditory attention was associated with more problems with social competence. Conclusions: Neurocognitive functioning may be related to behavior in children adopted internationally. Knowledge about neurocognitive functioning may further our understanding of the impact of early institutionalization on post-adoption behavior.

The Relationship Between Friendship Quality and Antisocial Behavior of Adolescents in Residential Substance Abuse Treatment

This exploratory study aimed to measure antisocial tendencies and friendship quality of adolescents in residential substance abuse treatment and to compare the findings to the general population for this age group. Fifty-four adolescents completed Bukowski, Hoza, and Boivin's (1994) Friendship Quality Scale and their counselor completed the antisocial measures of Merrell and Caldarella's (2002) Home and Community Social Behavior Scales. As anticipated, the sample exhibited significantly more antisocial behavior; however, they also reported similar levels of positive and negative friendship quality compared with other adolescent populations. Implications for substance abuse treatment are discussed.

Executive functions and social competence in young children 6 months following traumatic brain injury.

This study examined the impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in young children on executive functions and social competence, and particularly on the role of executive functions as a predictor of social competence. Data were drawn from a prospective, longitudinal study. Participants were children between the ages of 3 years 0 months and 6 years 11 months at time of injury. The initial sample included 23 with severe TBI, 64 with moderate TBI, and 119 with orthopedic injuries (OI). All participants were assessed at 3 and 6 months postinjury. Executive functions were assessed using neuropsychological tests (Delayed Alternation task and Shape School) and parent ratings on the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function and Child Behavior Questionnaire. Parents rated children's social competence on the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System, Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales, and Home and Community Social Behavior Scales. Children with severe TBI displayed more negative outcomes than children with OI on neuropsychological tests, ratings of executive functions, and ratings of social competence (η² ranged from .03 to .11). Neuropsychological tests of executive functions had significant but weak relationships with behavioral ratings of executive functions (ΔR² ranged from .06 to .08). Behavioral ratings of executive functions were strongly related to social competence (ΔR² ranged from .32 to .42), although shared rater and method variance likely contributed to these associations. Severe TBI in young children negatively impacts executive functions and social competence. Executive functions may be an important determinant of social competence following TBI.
