Myocardial infarction is one of chronic illnesses that has significant effects to patient's health related quality of life. This study tested three psychosocial factors (i.e. religious coping behaviour, cardiac anxiety and marital satisfaction) and two disease-related factors (i.e. left ventricular ejection fraction, comorbidity) in predicting health related quality of life in patients with post myocardial infarction in Indonesia. A cross sectional study included 170 patients with myocardial infarction was conducted. The patients completed four questionnaires: MacNew Health Related Quality of Life, Couple Satisfaction Index, Cardiac anxiety Questionnaire, and religious coping behaviour. Proposed model was tested using structural equation modelling. Results revealed that cardiac anxiety has a significant negative relationship with health-related quality of life. Marital satisfaction was a significant moderator in the relationship between cardiac anxiety and health related quality of life. There were no significant relationships among patient's comorbidity, left ventricular ejection fraction, religious coping behaviour and health related quality of life. Results of the study shed the light of the importance of protective effects of patient's immediate environment in shaping patient's health related quality of life.
Background: National identity is an important concept to be developed, so it is necessary to have a measurement instrument that have evidence of validity and reliability. Thus, the accuracy of the information obtained through measurement of this instrument will be guaranteed. Objective: This article aims to examine the psychometric property of the national identity scale to fulfill the standardization of accurate measurement. Methods: In this study, three analytical approaches were used, those are content validity involving eight subject matter experts (SME), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability analysis. For the reliability and CFA approach, 300 students were used as samples who were taken through convenience sampling technique. Results: The results of the analysis show that out of the 20 items compiled in the content validity analysis, one item is inadequate because it has a below standard score on Aiken's coefficient of validity. This one item then revised again to be included in the tryout and data collection for the next stage of analysis. The results of the CFA analysis show that the model and data are fit and there are two inadequate items, while the contribution of the three factors on the national identity scale is significant. In the third analysis, it was found that an adequate coefficient reliability had an effect on the low Standard Error of Measurement (SEM). Conclusion: Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the Indonesian national identity scale has fulfilled good psychometric properties. It can be proven from evidence validity base on content, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability analysis.
Previous research has explored possible reasons to conduct academic dishonesty while there are only a few research studies that investigate the strategies to promote academic integrity and do not look at moral self-regulation as a mediating variable. This study, therefore, aims to examine whether moral self-regulation mediates the effects of mastery goal orientation and performance goal orientation on academic integrity. A self-report scale was distributed to 251 students (M = 41%; F = 59%) of one state Islamic university in Jakarta, Indonesia, in which the structural equation model was used to analyse the data. Using the root mean square error of approximation, comparative fit index and Tucker–Lewis Index as indicators of the model of fit, the results proved that moral self-regulation mediated two mentioned variables affecting academic integrity. This finding implies the need to consider the inclusion of moral self-regulation in the academic life of students. Keywords: Academic integrity, moral self-regulation, mastery goal orientation, performance goal orientation;
Many universities in Indonesia are currently competing to become the best Entrepreneurship University. A number of theoretical models and public policies have been formulated at the national and local levels, and attempts targeting cognitive, affective, and psychomotor changes have been made. However, so far the emphasis on business orientation is still thick as if entrepreneurship deals only with the creation of economic benefits. In addition, evaluation at the micro level appears to be rarely performed. This research uses qualitative approach with autoethnography method. The purpose of this study is to explore the experience of entrepreneurial activity in the research track in Bina Nusantara University, Indonesia. This study shows the acquisition of a number of key competencies of entrepreneurship, mainly from the viewpoint of the first person (the actor/participant, the first author), together with the research supervisor (second author) and faculty supervisor (third author). The experience is further reflected theoretically in the Discussion section of this article. The unique feature of this autoethnography is the depiction of innovative learning gained from the concrete process of falling and awake for a semester passed by the participant. There are appreciations of diversity of opportunities or channels, of the role of historicity of the self, narrative process, and altruism driving force. This study results might be useful for sharpening entrepreneurship program and curriculum especially in universities that make entrepreneurship an orientation of students and graduates that is inevitable nowadays.
