Isdianto, Andik, Al Indunissy, Nuruddin, Fitrianti, Novariza
Abstract: Gangguan bipolar menjadi tantangan serius di masyarakat Muslim Indonesia karena masih banyak disalahpahami, distigmatisasi, dan jarang mendapat penanganan optimal. Artikel ini bertujuan menelaah literatur tentang integrasi… si psikiatri modern dan spiritualitas Islam—termasuk Islamic counseling dan mental health integration—dalam penanganan bipolar, serta menganalisis peluang dan hambatannya pada konteks komunitas Muslim Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka dengan pendekatan kualitatif reflektif melalui telaah jurnal ilmiah dan sumber keislaman terbaru. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa integrasi model perawatan—meliputi kolaborasi agama-medis, Islamic therapy, edukasi komunitas, dan penguatan Muslim community health—dapat meningkatkan efektivitas penanganan, memperkuat resiliensi psikologis, mengurangi stigma, dan mendorong pemulihan komprehensif bagi pasien bipolar. Namun, integrasi ini masih menghadapi hambatan berupa stigma sosial, rendahnya literasi masyarakat, serta kesenjangan komunikasi antara tenaga kesehatan dan pemuka agama. Peluang besar dapat dioptimalkan melalui pelatihan konselor dan ustadz kesehatan jiwa, program edukasi berbasis masjid, serta kebijakan publik yang mendukung. Simpulan penelitian menegaskan bahwa integrasi psikiatri modern dan spiritualitas Islam, khususnya melalui Islamic counseling dan community-based intervention, dapat memperbaiki kualitas layanan kesehatan jiwa, meningkatkan kualitas hidup, serta menciptakan model layanan yang lebih holistik, inklusif, dan adaptif terhadap nilai budaya serta keagamaan di Indonesia.

The program not only strengthened participants’ awareness of halal-certified products but also encouraged more informed and responsible consumption practices. These results highlight the effectiveness of community-based halal literacy initiatives in fostering greater public understanding and supporting the development of a halal-conscious society.

Yuttami Keila Azahra, Patima Aprilia Azzahra, Zakia Amalia Putri
Abstract: This study examines the integration of philosophy of science in the development of a holistic counseling model through a literature review of ten relevant articles. The results of the study show that philosophy of science… e plays a fundamental role through three integrated dimensions: ontology, which views humans as complex beings with biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions; epistemology, which integrates the paradigms of postpositivism, constructivism-interpretivism, and critical-ideological; and axiology, which emphasizes professional ethical values. The integration of these three dimensions enables counseling practices to be more meaningful, effective, and responsive to the complexity of contemporary issues. The main challenge faced is the gap in philosophical understanding among counseling practitioners. A holistic counseling model based on the integration of the philosophy of science is a theoretical and practical necessity for producing comprehensive counseling services that are appropriate to the Indonesian socio-cultural context.

Nurul Pratiwi, Eka Fitra Ramadani, Yudhi Andrew Pratama Lumoindon
Abstract: The study aims to analyze the role of the Office of Women’s  Empowerment and Child Protection (DP3A) in handling cases of child abuse in Gowa Regency. The research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through… hrough observation, interviews, and documentation. The focus of this study is to examine how DP3A carries out its role in addressing child abuse in Gowa Regency and to identify the inhibiting factors it faces in handling such cases. The findings reveal that DP3A Gowa Regency plays a strategic role in addressing child abuse through preventive measures such as community outreach and education, case handling through the UPTD PPA with legal and psychological services, and child recovery programs including counseling, therapy, and social reintegration. Collaboration with schools, the police, the Social Affairs Office, NGOs, and the establishment of a Children’s Forum further strengthens the child protection system in the region. However, the study also identifies several inhibiting factors, including a shortage of professional human resources, limited operational funding, and low public awareness influenced by patriarchal culture and the normalization of violence. These obstacles result in limited services, delays in case handling, and a large number of unreported cases. In conclusion, DP3A Gowa Regency plays an essential role in creating a comprehensive child protection ecosystem, although it still requires greater support in terms of human resource capacity, funding, and shifts in societal paradigms to ensure optimal child protection

Numerous difficulties for both mothers and newborns have been linked to elevated&#8230; ated pre-pregnancy and gestational body mass indexes (BMI). The purpose of this study is to characterize the distribution of delivery methods among pregnant women who are obese at Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Regional Hospital in Lampung Province, Indonesia. Total sampling was used to perform a quantitative, descriptive retrospective analysis. 58 pregnant women with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above who gave birth between 2017 and 2023 were included. SPSS version 27.0 was utilized for data analysis. Findings out of the 58 instances that could be analyzed, 69.0% of obese pregnant women gave delivery via cesarean section, 27.6% gave birth spontaneous vaginally, and 3.4% had a vacuum induction. The majority (31.0%) were between the ages of 35 and 39, and 77.6% were multiparous. The type of delivery was found to be strongly influenced by maternal age, parity, and obesity.
