Islamic Counseling with Self-Management Techniques to Reduce Addictive Behavior of Watching Korean Dramas among Adolescents in Surabaya

Zulia Rahmawati — 2026-06-06

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing Islamic counseling combined with self-management techniques in helping adolescents reduce excessive Korean drama watching behavior. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design involving a 19-year-old female student from a university in Surabaya who exhibited high viewing intensity that interfered with her academic activities, social interactions, and religious practices. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and personal documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results revealed positive behavioral changes, indicated by a decrease in viewing duration from an average of 5–7 hours per day to approximately 1–2 hours after six counseling sessions. Moreover, the participant demonstrated improved time discipline, impulse control, and consistency in performing religious duties. Islamic values such as muhasabah (self-reflection), awareness of accountability to Allah, and avoidance of excessive behavior strengthened the subject’s intrinsic motivation to maintain adaptive behavioral changes. These findings suggest that integrating Islamic counseling with self-management techniques can serve as an effective approach to address digital entertainment addiction among adolescents. Further studies with a more diverse range of participants are recommended to enhance generalizability and develop a more structured intervention framework.

The Application of Self-Management Techniques in Improving Adolescents' Self-Control Over Gadget Use at Darul Muta'allimin Junior High School: An Islamic Guidance and Counseling Perspective

Zhidan Tirta Yudhistira — 2026-06-06

This study aims to explore adolescent gadget use behavior at Darul Muta'alimin Junior High School in Sidoarjo. Using a qualitative case study approach, data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The study subjects consisted of junior high school students who actively use gadgets in their daily lives. The results indicate that adolescents' motivations for gadget use include information, entertainment, social communication, and as a learning medium. Although gadgets provide positive benefits such as supporting learning activities and broadening horizons, excessive use also leads to negative impacts such as sleep disturbances, decreased concentration, and a tendency to withdraw from social interactions. Furthermore this study found that most adolescents begin using gadgets at an early age and have made them an essential part of their daily lifestyle. Gadget use increases, especially outside of school hours, for accessing social media, watching videos, playing online games, and interacting with peers. Interviews revealed that adolescents view gadgets as an effective means of self-expression and gaining social recognition, but they tend to have difficulty controlling their usage time. Family environment, parental supervision, and school policies play a significant role in shaping healthy gadget use behavior. This study also revealed that support from teachers and schools can be a crucial factor in directing gadget use toward more productive outcomes, for example through technology-based learning activities or digital literacy training. Therefore, this study recommends the need for parental supervision and school policies that support balanced and responsible gadget use, so that adolescents can use technology wisely without neglecting their social, emotional, and academic aspects.

Ahmad Nur Hidayat — 2026-06-06

Fatigue can be felt by anyone who does heavy work activities with different professions, especially nurses. This study aims to analyze the factors related to work fatigue in nurses at the Malahayati Islamic Hospital in Medan City using the KAUPK2 questionnaire. This study uses a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach design using the chi-square test. The study population is all nurses at the Malahayati Islamic Hospital in Medan City with a sample of 112 respondents obtained through simple random sampling techniques. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between workload and work fatigue in nurses with a p-value of 0.000 and the rest do not show a significant relationship between age and work fatigue (p-value 0.746), nutritional status with work fatigue (p-value 0.160), work shifts with work fatigue (p-value 0.078), work period with work fatigue (p-value 0.526), and length of work with work fatigue (p-value 0.254). Research suggestions for hospitals should re-evaluate the division of tasks and the number of nurses per shift to avoid complaints of work fatigue and to prevent an increase in workload in accordance with existing nursing service standards. For future researchers, it is hoped that they can improve the validity of the KAUPK2 questionnaire or try other instruments that have international standards. Furthermore, it is also recommended to expand the research location to increase the sample so that the research results are more comprehensive, examine other variables and also be consistent in conveying the language of the questionnaire to respondents.

Determinants of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) in Construction Workers in Medan Tuntungan District

Arfan Zidni Maulana — 2026-06-06

Construction workers are prone to Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) due to the high physical demands of their work and their working environment. MSDs have a negative impact on workers' health and productivity. This study aims to analyze the partial and simultaneous effects of work posture, workload, and working environment temperature on MSD complaints among construction workers in Medan Tuntungan District. The study was conducted on 40 construction workers in Medan Tuntungan District. Data were collected through measurements of work posture (using QEC), workload (using CVL), environmental temperature (using Heat Index), and MSD complaints. Data analysis used multivariate analysis with multiple linear regression tests. The residual data were normally distributed (Sig. = 0.200 > 0.05). Simultaneously, work posture, workload, and temperature significantly influenced MSD complaints (Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05). Partially, work posture significantly influenced MSD complaints (Sig. = 0.030 < 0.05), and workload (Sig. = 0.025 < 0.05). However, environmental temperature did not significantly influence MSD complaints (Sig. = 0.205 > 0.05). The combined contribution of the three variables to MSD complaints is 41.6%. Work posture and workload are significant determinants of MSD complaints among construction workers in Medan Tuntungan District. Therefore, efforts to prevent MSDs should focus on improving work posture and managing workload.
