Mahasiswa dengan tingkat self-esteem yang tinggi cenderung memiliki penyesuaian yang baik di perkuliahan. Mereka akan memiliki kemampuan untuk menangani masalah kuliah dan secara otomatis mengurangi distres psikologis mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental kuasi yang dilakukan untuk mengetahui peningkatan self-esteem pada mahasiswa yang mengalami distres psikologi. Partisipan penelitian ini adalah 8 mahasiswa S1 Universitas Indonesia yang berusia 18-23 tahun dengan tingkat self-esteem di bawah nilai 29 yang diukur dengan Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES), dan memiliki tingkat distres psikologi di atas nilai 1.75 yang diukur dengan HSCL-25. Partisipan terlibat dalam intervensi peningkatan self-esteem yang terdiri dari 5 sesi utama selama dua hari berturut-turut (sekitar 6 jam dalam sehari). Empat minggu setelah hari kedua pelatihan, tingkat self-esteem dan distres psikologis responden diukur. Hasil pengukuran sebelum dan sesudah intervensi pelatihan menunjukkan bahwa skor mean self-esteem peserta mengalami peningkatan dan skor mean distres psikologis mengalami penurunan. Hasil uji Wilcoxon juga menunjukkan perubahan yang signifikan pada kedua variabel (Z RSES = -2.246; Z HSCL-25 = -2.366; p < .05). Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa intervensi pelatihan efektif dalam meningkatkan self-esteem dan menurunkan distres psikologis bagi mahasiswa S1 Universitas Indonesia. Peserta juga berkomentar bahwa mereka memperoleh pengetahuan baru mengenai self-esteem dan keterampilan baru untuk berkomunikasi secara asertif dan berpikir positif.
HIV treatment adherence in Indonesia is a major challenge. Although previous studies have demonstrated several barriers and facilitators to adherence, studies providing a comprehensive analysis from both PLHIV and HIV service providers’ perspectives are limited, especially in Indonesia. In this qualitative study with 30 people living with HIV on treatment (PLHIV-OT) and 20 HIV service providers (HSPs), we explored, via online interviews, the barriers and facilitators to antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence using a socioecological approach. Both PLHIV-OT and HSPs reported stigma as a major barrier at each socioecological level, including public stigma at the societal level, stigma in healthcare settings, and self-stigma at the intrapersonal level. Stigma reduction must therefore be prioritized. PLHIV-OT and HSPs also reported support from significant others and HSPs as the foremost facilitators to ART adherence. The enablement of support networks is thus an important key to improved ART adherence. Overall, the societal level and health system barriers to ART adherence should be addressed in order to remove barriers and enhance the facilitators at the subordinate socioecological levels.
Undergraduate students in adolescence and young adulthood period are sexually productive. It is crucial to discover their knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards HIV/AIDS since the highest HIV infection in Indonesia until 2016 is between those ages. The survey was conducted in Indonesia between November-December 2015. Data was collected using online structured KAP questionnaire to 350 undergraduate students (aged 18-23 years old) in Universitas Indonesia and analyzed with descriptive statistic. The KAP questionnaire used was adapted from Mulu, Abera, and Yinner (2014). Results shown that most participants answered correctly in knowledge items, but most of them still didn't know that HIV and AIDS are two different things, and they think that HIV can be infected through sharing foods, exchanging clothes and toilets with PLWH (People Living with HIV). Most participants have a positive attitude towards HIV/AIDS, but they have a negative attitude regarding on using condom while having sex as an affront to the couple, and disagreeing to live together with PLWH. Regarding on the practice, as much as 76 participants who have had sex ever had a risky sexual behavior but never had VCT (Voluntary Counseling & Testing), while the rest of participants who never had sex mostly have seen a condom but didn't feel comfortable to hold it. Knowledge towards HIV/AIDS was quite sufficient, the attitude was fair enough, but the practice for the participants who have had sex needed attention more. The results also might indicate stigma towards HIV/AIDS in Indonesia still exists because HIV is considered as an easily infected disease.
