The Application of Reality Therapy with the WDEP Technique to Improve the Self-Esteem of People Living with HIV/AIDS at Panti Bina Insan Bangun 2 Jakarta

Farita Djakiman, Lun, Andini, Shinta, Cholidah, Nur, Sovitriana, Rilla
Abstract: This study explores the application of Reality Therapy using the WDEP (Wants, Doing, Evaluation, Planning) technique to improve self-esteem among People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) at the Panti Sosial Bina Insan Bangun… Daya II in East Jakarta. As PLWHA often face stigma, rejection, and psychological distress, self-esteem becomes a crucial component for mental resilience and social reintegration. This quasi-experimental research employed a pre-test and post-test control group design, involving five selected participants diagnosed with HIV/AIDS aged 18 and above. The intervention consisted of ten group counseling sessions focusing on helping participants identify their goals, assess current behaviors, and plan realistic strategies for change. Self-esteem levels were measured using the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI). Pre-test results indicated low levels of self-esteem, with an average score of 31. Following the intervention, the post-test average rose to 48, signifying a 54% improvement and placing participants in the high self-esteem category. Qualitative observations during therapy sessions revealed significant behavioral transformations, including increased emotional regulation, social interaction, self-acceptance, responsibility, and future orientation. The findings demonstrate that Reality Therapy with WDEP is an effective, culturally adaptable approach to psychological rehabilitation in institutional settings. It not only enhances self-esteem but also empowers PLWHA to rebuild their sense of self-worth, establish supportive relationships, and envision a hopeful future. The study contributes to expanding evidence-based psychosocial interventions for marginalized populations in Indonesia.

Climate‑driven Internal Displacement and Social Cohesion in Libya’s Coastal Cities

Alriteemi, Abraheem, Abdullah, Mahmoud, Kasheem, Majdy, Masoud, Mohieddin
Abstract: Climate change is increasingly recognized as a major driver of internal displacement, particularly in fragile states like Libya where environmental shocks intersect with political instability and weak governance. This study… udy investigates how climate-induced internal displacement affects social cohesion in Libya’s coastal cities, focusing on Tripoli, Misrata, and Benghazi. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations involving internally displaced persons (IDPs), host community members, and local stakeholders. Findings reveal that environmental factors such as drought and flooding have forced vulnerable populations to migrate from Libya’s interior regions to urban coastal centers. These displacements have strained public services, exacerbated competition for resources, and led to growing tensions between displaced populations and host communities. Social trust, mutual support, and access to services have all been undermined, while IDPs often face legal invisibility, psychological stress, and marginalization. Despite these challenges, the research identifies promising local initiatives that have fostered integration and rebuilt social ties, including joint livelihood programs and inclusive municipal governance efforts. However, these efforts remain fragmented and unsustainable without broader policy support. The study concludes that to prevent further erosion of social cohesion, Libya must adopt a national legal framework to recognize and protect climate-displaced persons, strengthen municipal capacities, and integrate displacement considerations into urban planning and climate adaptation strategies. This article contributes to emerging literature on climate migration and urban resilience by providing grounded, context-specific insights into how environmental displacement reshapes the social fabric in post-conflict settings.

Determinants of the Prevalence of Province Food Insufficiency in Indonesia in 2023 With A Quantile Regression Approach

Puja Ramdani, Ahmad, Murwiati, Asih
Abstract: This study analyzes the determinants of food insufficiency prevalence across 34 provinces in Indonesia using a quantile regression approach. The research focuses on three key variables: the Food Security Index (IKP), rice… e productivity (PVP), and per capita food expenditure (PPM), using 2023 cross-sectional data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). Results from ordinary least squares (OLS) and quantile regression at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles reveal that the Food Security Index has a consistent and significant negative effect on food insufficiency across all quantiles, with the strongest influence observed at the higher quantile (τ = 0.75). In contrast, rice productivity is not statistically significant at any quantile, while per capita food expenditure is only marginally significant at the 25th quantile. These findings suggest that improvements in food security contribute significantly to reducing food inadequacy, especially in regions with high prevalence rates. However, the impact of rice productivity and food spending varies across different segments, implying that context-specific policies are needed. The study recommends targeted government interventions to enhance food access, affordability, and regional food security equity.

Exploring the Determinants of Poverty Gap in Sumatra Island: A Spatial Regression Approach

Shalma, Euis, Ratih Yulihar Taher, Arivina
Abstract: The poverty gap index is an important indicator in planning more effective and targeted policies, but it has rarely been studied. This study analyzes the distribution pattern of poverty gap and the influence of non-food… per capita expenditure, open unemployment rate, and Gini ratio on poverty gap in districts/municipalities in Sumatra Island in 2023. Using cross-section data from 154 districts/municipalities, the analysis was conducted through the calculation of the global Moran index and spatial autoregressive (SAR) regression. The results show that the gap of poverty in Sumatra Island has a clustered spatial pattern. Regions with moderate to high poverty gap are concentrated in the northern, southern, and western islands, especially in Aceh, Bengkulu, South Sumatra, Lampung, and Nias, Mentawai, and Meranti Islands. In contrast, the central part of Sumatra tends to have lower poverty gap. From the regression analysis, non-food per capita expenditure has a negative effect and Gini ratio has a positive effect on poverty gap. These findings emphasize the importance of considering spatial factors in the formulation of poverty alleviation policies in Sumatra.
