The Influence of Internalization of Islamic Values in Strengthening Students' Intentions to Enroll in Muhammadiyah University in DKI Jakarta

The study aimed to investigate Muhammadiyah High School students' intentions to enroll in Muhammadiyah University in DKI Jakarta. The research method uses an explanatory quantitative approach, with a survey design. Data collection used questionnaires to 400 students in Jakarta with convenience sampling; data analysis technique with Partial Least Square using Smart PLS. The result of the study indicates a positive influence of parental social support on attitude toward behavior. Furthermore, brand awareness and expectations had a positive influence on attitudes toward behavior. Attitudes toward behavior had a positive influence on intentions to enroll, as well as subjective norms and perceived behavioral control. However, attitudes toward behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control did not have a positive influence on intentions to enroll when reinforced by the internalization of Islamic values. Attitudes toward behavior served as a mediator in the positive influence of parental social support, brand awareness, and expectations on intentions to enroll. Attitudes toward behavior also mediated the positive influence of parental social support, brand awareness, and expectations on intentions to enroll, strengthened by internalization of Islamic values.

Experience of psychological problems in crisis events: how does social support affect teenagers’ psychological security through emotion during the COVID-19 pandemic?

ABSTRACT The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought a series of psychological shocks to adolescents, it may cause psychological security problems. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of social support on psychological security of adolescents and the role of emotional regulation and the experience of COVID-19 infection. 615 ( 14.64 ± 1.29) randomly selected Chinese adolescents were tested with the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Psychological Security Questionnaire (PSQ). Structural equation modelling results show that: (1) Social support positively predicted psychological security; (2) Social support positively predicted cognitive reappraisal, and cognitive reappraisal positively predicted psychological security. At the same time, cognitive reappraisal played a mediating role in the relationship between social support and psychological security; (3) Social support negatively predicted expressive suppression, and expressive suppression negatively predicted psychological security. Meanwhile, expressive suppression played a mediating role in the relationship between social support and psychological security; (4) COVID-19 infection experience positively moderates the relationship between expression inhibition and psychological safety. This study provides theoretical experience reference for the solution of adolescent psychological problems in crisis situation.

The influence of assisted reproductive technologies-related stressors and social support on perceived stress and depression

BackgroundWhile assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have helped many people experiencing infertility become pregnant, the ART process can take a psychological toll. This study examined whether and how perceived stress- and depression-related symptoms vary among individuals at different stages of the infertility and ART process, and whether ART-specific stressors and emotional support are associated with mental health symptomatology.MethodsData were collected using an online REDCap survey administered between July 2021 and March 2022. The survey was administered to 240 participants who had experienced infertility, including those who had not yet accessed ART, those undergoing ART but who were not yet pregnant, those currently pregnant through ART, and those who had given birth in the last year through ART. Each participant completed the Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (range 0–40) and the Edinburgh Depression Scale (range 0–30). Participants who had undergone ART were asked about their experience of ART-specific stressors and how helpful partner and provider support had been during the ART process. Survey data were analyzed using ANOVA and multivariate linear regressions.Results88% of participants reported medium or high levels of perceived stress, and 43.8% of respondents showed probable indications of depression. Perceived stress and depression symptoms were significantly higher for individuals currently undergoing, but not yet pregnant from, ART treatments. These effect sizes were substantial; for example, depression scores in this group were five points higher than among currently pregnant individuals and nine points higher than among postpartum individuals. For the subset of participants who had used or were currently undergoing ART (N = 221), perceived social stigma and the physical and time demands of ART were significantly associated with higher stress and depression symptoms, while partner emotional support was associated with lower perceived stress.ConclusionsThe ART process exacerbates perceived stress and depression symptoms among individuals experiencing infertility. Given the potential long-term impacts on both parent and child wellbeing, clinicians and policymaking groups, including the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), should consider making access to mental health services a standard of care during infertility treatment.

Socio-structural determinants of physical activity behavior in children and adolescents: The importance of social support

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of socio-structural determinants of physical activity (PA) behavior in children and adolescents. We expected that socioeconomic status, social support, and physical environment influence PA directly while socioeconomic status also has an indirect influence via social support and physical environment. Cross-sectional data from the German Motorik-Modul study (MoMo) were used (Wave 2, 2014–2017). The sample consisted of N = 2134 children and adolescents aged 6–17 years. Socioeconomic status, social support, and physical environment were measured by questionnaires. To measure PA, children and adolescents were instructed to wear accelerometers for seven consecutive days. Moderate-to-vigorous activity periods were considered. Path analyses were used to analyze the direct and indirect effects. We calculated two models, one for children (6–10 years) and one for adolescents (11–17 years). Among children (model 1), only social support had a direct effect on PA behavior. In addition, social support influenced the perceived physical environment. Socioeconomic status had an indirect effect on PA via social support. For adolescents (model 2), all assumed relations were significant and in line with the directions expected. Social support had the strongest direct influence on PA behavior. Socioeconomic status had a direct and indirect effect on PA via the physical environment and social support. The study results emphasize the relevance of close, social networks of families and friends as well as social capital, as a source of social support, for PA levels among young age groups.

Perceived social support and stress-coping strategies among cardiac patients

Abstract Social support is one of the most important factors influencing human health. It is particularly important for patients after myocardial infarction, as it helps them reduce feelings of anxiety, uncertainty and isolation. Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the influence of sociodemographic variables and social support on the choice of stress coping styles among patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction. Methods This survey-based study involved 120 patients after myocardial infarction, hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology with the Intensive Cardiac Care Unit of the Independent Public Clinical Hospital No. 2, Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin. The research instruments used in this study were: the author’s questionnaire and The Inventory of Socially Supportive Behaviors (ISSB), The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). Results Based on the collected data, it was observed that the vast majority of respondents experienced high levels of stress. Women had significantly higher levels of stress than men (0 = 0.039), and were more likely to choose an emotion-oriented coping style (p = 0.011). It was also observed that avoidance-oriented coping was significantly more often used by retirees and pensioners than by employees (0.008). The study showed that information support statistically significantly correlated with avoidance-oriented coping (AOC) (r = -0.235, p = 0.01), including social diversion (seeking social contact) (r = -0.222, p = 0.015). Emotional support statistically significantly correlated with task-oriented coping (r = -0.224, p = 0.014), and avoidance-oriented coping (r = -0.24, p = 0.008), including social diversion (r = -0.284, p = 0.002). Instrumental support statistically significantly correlated with social diversion (r = -0.259, p = 0.004). Furthermore, valuation support statistically significantly correlated with task-oriented coping (r = -0.341, p < 0.001) and emotion-oriented coping (r = 0.195, p = 0.033). Conclusion The vast majority of patients hospitalized for heart attack experience high levels of stress and receive instrumental and information support. Women have usually higher levels of stress than men, and are more likely to utilize emotion-oriented coping strategies. There is a statistically significant negative correlation between receiving information support and adopting stress-coping styles focused on avoidance and seeking social contacts.

Applying Kumpfer’s resilience framework to understand the social adaptation process of the trailing parents in China

BackgroundTrailing parents, a distinct group emerging from China’s rapid social change and urbanization, are experiencing migration in old age, posing challenges for their social adaptation. Existing research has mainly focused on the hardships faced by this group, but few studies have focused on how they cope with change and achieve some degree of successful social adaptation. This study aimed to understand the coping and social adaptation process of trailing parents in China.MethodsThis study used a qualitative research approach. A total of 24 trailing parents were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview and share their experiences and efforts to cope with the many challenges. Kumpfer’s resilience framework was used as the theoretical framework for the study design, data collection, and data analysis.ResultsThis study identified several intra-family and community stressors that trailing parents may face when moving to a new environment and uncovered five key resilience characteristics that may be triggered or fostered in the presence of these stressors, including physical fitness, psychological stability, open-mindedness, learning ability, and nurturing hobbies. Individuals with resilience traits have been observed to engage in positive cognitive processing and transform the new environment. Consistent with Kumpfer’s resilience framework, this study revealed the dynamics of the stressors faced by trailing parents in the new environments, the role of resilience characteristics, and the critical influence of social support in shaping the interplay between the individual and the environment that enabled them to adapt positively.ConclusionsThis study highlights the importance of fostering resilience traits and leveraging positive coping mechanisms to facilitate a smoother adaptation process for trailing parents. Meanwhile, there is an urgent need to focus on creating opportunities that strengthen their social support networks.

Developmental trajectories of non‐suicidal self‐injury in adolescence: The effect of social support and socioeconomic status

AbstractBackgroundNon‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI) in early adolescence has been amply documented. However, there has been little research on the progression of NSSI over time. Most studies have focused on the risk factors for NSSI, with less attention devoted to understanding the role of protective factors. This paper aimed to expand existing knowledge about the development of NSSI, with an emphasis on the impacts of protective factors such as social support and socioeconomic status (SES).MethodsA total of 436 adolescents completed self‐report surveys that addressed social support including friend, family, and teacher support, objective and subjective SES, and NSSI at three different points in time for 2 years.ResultsLatent growth curve analyses revealed that NSSI increased across early adolescence to mid‐adolescence. Support from friends and family negatively predicted adolescents' initial NSSI level. Furthermore, subjective SES negatively predicted the rate of NSSI.ConclusionsThese findings contribute to an understanding of the influences of both social support and SES on NSSI over time. NSSI interventions and education should include considerations of both the value of support from friends and family as well as subjective SES.

The Influence of Social Support, Self-Esteem, and Optimism on Resilience of High School Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic

However, the largest proportion for optimism is in a low category. The results also showed a very significant positive relationship between social support, self-esteem, and optimism with high school students' resilience. The other result also shows that high school students' resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic was directly affected by self-esteem and optimism. Variables of social support, self-esteem, optimism, adolescent and family characteristics are important aspects in improving the resilience of high school students during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The impact of family social support on academic resilience in Indonesian and Turkish students: the mediating role of self-regulated learning

ABSTRACT This study examines the influence of family social support on student resilience and self-regulated learning (SRL), as well as the role of SRL as a mediator for Indonesian and Turkish students. This quantitative method used three research scales to answer the research questions: resilience, family social support, and self-regulated learning. The study included 606 Indonesian respondents and 504 Turkish respondents. In this study, the researchers used a structural equation model based on partial least squares to perform data analysis. The results showed that Indonesian students had a higher average academic resilience score than Turkish students. Turkish students’ family social support scores were higher than Indonesian students. The bootstrapping method demonstrated a positive indirect effect of SRL on the relationship between family social support and academic resilience. Hence, SRL is a good variable that connects family social support with academic resilience.

Social support and family resilience among Chinese people receiving maintenance hemodialysis: A polynomial regression and response surface analysis explaining psychological resilience.

Psychological resilience plays an important role in overcoming emotional distress among people receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). This study aimed to investigate how social support and family resilience interact to influence psychological resilience among Chinese people receiving MHD. This was a prospective longitudinal study with three time points: baseline (T1), 3 months (T2), and 6 months (T3) later. A convenience sample of 252 participants (67.1% male; 57.6 ± 13.8 years of age) from Zhejiang Province, China, who completed baseline measures of social support, family resilience, and psychological resilience, were further assessed for psychological resilience at T2 and T3. Polynomial regression (PR) and response surface analysis (RSA) were used to analyze the data. At all time points, and in the case of agreement between social support and family resilience, the combined effect of both variables manifested as a positive linear association with psychological resilience. Instead, at baseline, and in case of disagreement, the same combined effect manifested as a negative linear relationship related to psychological resilience. The findings highlighted the importance of considering the conjoint influence of social support and family resilience when developing interventions to improve the psychological resilience of people receiving MHD.

Exploring Well-being in College Students: The Influence of Resilience and Social Support

Resilience and social support are pivotal factors in fostering positive mental health outcomes and enhancing overall well-being among students. With this in mind, the present study sought to examine the impact of resilience and social support on subjective well-being among college students. Employing a quantitative research approach, the researchers utilized a descriptive- correlational technique to survey 255 college students. Standardized instruments, validated by experts and subjected to reliability testing, were employed for data collection. The statistical analysis revealed that students exhibited a high level of resilience and perceived social support. Moreover, students reported a high level of subjective well-being. Notably, correlation analysis highlighted a significant relationship between resilience, social support, and subjective well-being. Regression analysis further underscored the influential role of resilience and social support in shaping subjective well- being. This finding suggests that students with higher resilience levels are better equipped to manage stress and adversity, while those with robust social support networks benefit from emotional, informational, and practical assistance, thereby contributing to an enhanced sense of well-being.

Barriers and supportive factors in engaging cancer patients in physical activity programmes - a literature review.

Regardless of cancer type or stage of treatment, physical activity (PA) has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and death. It is associated with a range of positive effects on patients' physical and psychological well-being, particularly in the areas of aerobic fitness, fatigue, mental health and perceived overall quality of life. However, in current oncology practice, the combination of its indication with treatment is still relatively rare. At the same time, cancer patients' participation in regular physical activity is usually very low. However, as PA is an effective method to support cancer treatment and plays an important role in prevention, it is necessary to find effective strategies to involve patients more widely in physical activities. To this end, physical activity programmes organised directly by facilities providing comprehensive cancer care appear to be very suitable. This literature review maps the main barriers and facilitators to cancer patients' participation in physical activity programmes. In particular, economic factors related to health policy, reflected in the availability of this type of supportive care for patients, the level of health literacy, the organization of PA programs, health care providers - both physicians and health care workers, social support and intrapsychic influences on the part of patients play a major role. Since the implementation of physical activity programmes into the existing cancer care system is a rather challenging process, the paper also deals with the possibilities of using the Health Belief Model. In the given context, this model allows the prediction and identification of barriers and supportive factors to patients' involvement in PA programs in order to maximize their effectiveness and adapt them to the needs of patients and, at the same time, to the capabilities of a specific medical facility.
