The Effect of Cognitive Behavioral Intervention Based on Self-Management on the Ability to Control Hallucinations in People with Schizophrenia

Hallucinations are a common symptoms found in individuals with schizophrenia. These hallucination cause people with schizophrenia (PWS) to experience difficulty in controlling themselves. This has an impact on suicidal behavior, harming other people, and destroying the surrounding environment. Therefore, a cognitive behavioral intervention based on self-management is needed as a non-pharmacological therapy to help PWS control hallucinations. This study aims to identify the effect of cognitive behavioral interventions based on self-management in people with schizophrenia. This study uses a quasy-experimental two groups pretest-posttest design. The sample consists 78 inpatient respondents with schizophrenia, divided into two groups, 39 in the intervention group and 39 in control group. Technique sample in this study using purposive sampling. Research data collection uses a questionnaire instrument for the ability to control hallucinations. The data explained used statistics, such as descriptive, dependent, and independent t-tests. The research results show that there are changes in the ability to control hallucinations in the intervention group and control group before and after self-management-based cognitive behavioral intervention (p-value=0.001). There was a difference in the ability to control hallucinations between the intervention group with the control group after cognitive behavioral intervention based on self-management (p-value= 0.013). The cognitive behavioral intervention based on self-management can be used as an effective cessation intervention to improve the ability of PWS to control hallucinations so that they can optimize their function in carrying out daily activities.

Angelika Neurwirth And Qur'anic Textual Originality (Epistemological Analysis Of Emmanuel Kant's Perspective)

This paper reviews Neuwirth's thoughts regarding the originality of the Qur'anic text. According to Neuwirth, the texts of the Qur'an have been considered unoriginal because they have been influenced by Jewish and Christian traditions because the sources and methodologies used still have flaws. In reviewing Neuwirth's thoughts, this research focuses on the epistemology of Angelika Neuwirth's thoughts related to the originality of the Qur'anic text. Departing from the theory used, this paper discusses three questions. First, the sources used by Neuwirth, the methodology used, and how the validity of truth related to the originality of the Qur'anic text according to Neuwirth. This research uses a qualitative method by using library research data collection techniques. The data sources used are primary and secondary. Primary sources of the author get from Neuwirth's writings related to the Qur'an and secondary sources obtained from studies with the same object of study such as journals and books. The data that has been collected will be reduced as needed and analyzed using Emmanuel Kant's epistemology. As for the results of this study, first, Neuwirth uses text sources in the context of late antiquity. Second, Neuwirth uses an intertextuality-based pre-canonization method with a literary and historical approach. This research still has shortcomings, meaning that further research can be carried out related to the epistemology of Neuwirth's angelic thought such as the implications of Neuwirth's thinking for the study of the Qur'an in the West, especially in the scope of scholarship in Indonesia.

Psychometric evaluation of the Afaan Oromo version of the exclusive breastfeeding social support scale among Ethiopian women

ProblemThere is a lack of validated tools for assessing social support for Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) practice in Ethiopia. BackgroundValidating instruments ensures culturally appropriate and reliable data collection for effective research and interventions. AimThis study aimed to translate the exclusive breastfeeding social support scale into the Afaan Oromo language (EBFSS-AO) and test its psychometric properties among Ethiopian women. MethodsThe scale was first subjected to forward and backward translation before undergoing psychometric evaluation. Then, a cross-sectional study was conducted on convenience sample of 160 postpartum women. Content validity was assessed via Content Validity Index (CVI), and construct validity was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with maximum likelihood estimation. The scale's reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). FindingsThe CFA verified that the EBFSS-AO for Ethiopian women is a three-dimensional scale with satisfactory fit indices; x2/df: 2.76; Comparative fit index: 0.917; Tucker-Lewis Index: 0.902; Standardized Root Mean square residual: 0.061; and Root mean square error of approximation: 0.105. Item-level CVI ranged from 0.86 to 1.00, and scale-level CVI was 0.98. The overall scale had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.95 while instrumental, emotional, and informational support subscales had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.89, 0.92, and 0.93 respectively. After a 4-week re-test, the ICC yielded a value of 0.94. Partner support on EBF showed no socio-demographic differences except for income. ConclusionThe EBFSS-AO showed satisfactory psychometric properties, suitable for assessing social support among Ethiopian women in both research and clinical contexts.

Focus groups as counterspaces for Black girls and Black women: A critical approach to research methods

When researchers intentionally account for the complexities of gendered racism, focus groups can become spaces for healing, community building, information exchange, psychological safety, and support for Black girls and Black women. This approach, when situated within race, gender critical perspectives, presents opportunities for ascertaining Black girls and Black women’s onto-epistemologies in ways that coincide with their identities. Given the alternative possibilities of focus groups, in this paper we advance strategies for employing focus groups as counterspaces, an anti-racist and anti-oppressive research method that educational psychologists can utilize to challenge current methodological approaches related to Black girls and Black women. To transform how educational psychologists spotlight Black girls and Black women as knowledge producers in research, we draw upon guiding theoretical frameworks (Black Girl Cartography and Critical Race Feminism) that highlight their voices and intersectional perspectives. We will (1) explain the theoretical perspectives that center this method as a critical approach for the gendered racialized experiences of Black girls and Black women, (2) share insights from the field where focus groups provide psychological safety and group collectivism, serve as an adaptive coping mechanism, and provide space for authentic communication styles, (3) consider areas for improvement and best practices for focus groups in research design, data collection and analysis, and (4) provide ethical considerations related to focus groups as counterspaces. Implications for critical research methodology approaches centering Black girls and Black women and the broader impact on the field of educational psychology are discussed.

How Women Are Portrayed in Opinion in the Kompas Daily Newspaper According to Sara Mills' Critical Discourse Studies?

This research is motivated by the problem of gender inequality issues in women's lives that are still often reported by the mass media. Among the mass media that reported this was the daily newspaper Kompas, especially in an opinion piece entitled Perempuan dan Mimpinya published on June 6, 2024. Based on the background of the problem depicted in the Women and Their Dreams (Perempuan dan Mimpinya) opinion, the purpose of writing this article is to describe how women are viewed by the mass media and their relationship to the current social reality of society. The collection of research data was carried out using reading techniques, including the steps of reading carefully and repeatedly the opinions that were the source of research data, marking vocabulary, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs that were in accordance with the criteria of the research problem, recording and inventorying them in an inventory table. The data was analyzed using an interactive method to reveal the position of women behind the text Women and Their Dreams (Perempuan dan Mimpinya) and its relationship to the current social reality of society. Analysis of the research data shows three things. First, the position of the subject in the discourse of the Perempuan dan Mimpinya opinion is occupied by the author who acts as the storyteller, while the position of the object is occupied by women. Second, the author tries to direct the reader to become the actor of the story by presenting a pseudo reality and cultural code in the text that seems to be the reality in the reader's real life. Third, the meaning of the entire discourse of opinion on Women and Their Dreams shows that in the domestic and public spaces women are still not fully able to become a gender group that is equal to the masculine gender group.

Research methods and the use of visual representation in library and information science research

AbstractThe increasing variety of research strategies and data collection techniques in information science, the access to large secondary data sets, and the ubiquity of information visualization call for expanding the classification of research methods and exploring how research is communicated visually. This study examined the relationship between types of data used in empirical research, visualizations, and research methods applied in information science studies. It analyzed 751 research articles published in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) using content analysis and machine learning techniques. The study finds that most empirical studies adopted a quantitative design with data mining, bibliometrics, experiments, and surveys as dominant strategies. The substantial use of secondary data points to the shift in how data are collected in empirical research. The JASIST articles used a variety of visualizations to present research designs and findings, with quantitative and mixed methods studies employing primarily tables and charts and qualitative studies relying more on tables and diagrams. This study uniquely explores the relationship between research methods and visualization. It contributes to the classification of the methods in information science by expanding the range of strategies within the quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods designs.

Determinants of business sustainability of women entrepreneurs

The issue of women in business or women in entrepreneurship has attracted much attention from researchers and practitioners in recent years, particularly in developing countries. This is due to the ability of women entrepreneurs to make a significant contribution to economic growth, country development, and escaping poverty. However, what determines their critical success factors as women entrepreneur is still under research. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the determinants of business sustainability specifically among women entrepreneurs. This study is original as it focuses on the business performance of women entrepreneurs during the pandemic crisis. This research used a market survey among women entrepreneurs as its research design and data collection. Seven constructs, comprised of six independent variables and one dependent variable, were used in the study. The independent variables are competency, marketing capability, financing resources, technology usage, motivation, and family support, while the dependent variable is business sustainability. This study used Resource-based View Theory (RBV) as its foundation for the research framework. This study finds that only family support influences business sustainability, while the other construct does not provide any conclusive evidence. This empirical study suggests that more support and training need to be provided by government agencies to ensure the survivability of women entrepreneurs in Malaysia.
