In young adulthood most people begin to realize the meaning of health. The amount of costs to be incurred for the treatment of a person when they are suffering from a disease also affects a person's health concern. According to Taylor and Asmundson (2004), most people feel anxious about their health. Anxiety about health can differ from one person to another. Through this study a general overview of health anxiety for young adults in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta, can be seen,.

<p>Selama menghadapi kondisi kesehatannya dan perubahan yang terjadi akibatnya, penderita kanker stadium lanjut bisa mengalami masalah pada aspek fisiologis, psikologis, sosial dan budaya, serta spiritual dan eksistensial. Dukungan sosial dari lingkungan sekitar penderita dapat membantu mereka dalam mengatasi masalah yang dihadapi, namun keberhasilannya tergantung pada bagaimana penderita memaknai dukungan sosial yang diterimanya (<em>perceived social support)</em>. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode wawancara <em>semi-structured</em>. Subjek penelitian berjumlah tiga dan memiliki karakteristik, yaitu penderita kanker yang telah didiagnosa kanker stadium lanjut, sedang menjalani Perawatan Paliatif<em>, </em>dan menjalani perawatan di Rumah Sakit Kanker Dharmais. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kelima dimensi dukungan sosial dipersepsikan oleh penderita kanker stadium lanjut selama menghadapi masalah yang muncul akibat kondisinya. Sumber dukungan sosial berasal dari berbagai pihak. Sumber dukungan sosial tertentu bisa memberikan lebih dari satu dimensi dukungan sosial. Bentuk dari setiap dimensi dukungan sosial berbeda-beda. <em>Informational support </em>memberikan informasi untuk memahami kondisi kesehatan dan nasehat untuk menjaga kondisi kesehatan, sedangkan <em>instrumental support </em>memberikan bantuan secara finasial dan peralatan untuk mendukung pengobatan, serta memberikan pelayanan untuk mengatasi masalah kesehatan dan rumah tangga. <em>Emotional support, esteem support, </em>dan <em>companionship support </em>mampu memberikan penghiburan dan motivasi melaui perkataan dan tindakan selama menghadapi kondisi kesehatannya. Bentuk dari setiap dimensi dukungan sosial dapat memberikan dampak yang positif apabila diberikan secara tepat, namun bisa menimbulkan perasaan negatif ketika diberikan secara kurang tepat, kurang memadai, atau justru secara berlebihan.</p><p>Kata kunci: <span>Kanker stadium lanjut, Perawatan Paliatif, dukungan sosial, <em>perceived social support</em></span></p>

Interoceptive sensibility, which denotes the self-perceived sensitivity to inner-body sensations, has been associated with the emotional experiences and inferences of others’ emotional states. Focusing on the role of interoceptive sensibility in the emotional states and psychological well-being of mothers during caregiving, this study explores how physiological arousal and interoceptive sensibility mediate the association between mother–infant interaction and maternal well-being using an experience sampling method. Infant-directed-singing (IDS) with social touch was used to facilitate mother–infant interaction. Pairs of 2–8-month-old infants and their mothers participated. Mothers in an IDS group (N = 25) and a no-IDS group (N = 26) recorded their and the infant’s daily feelings and physiological states using a smartphone application for one month. All participants, including the control group (N = 78) who neither performed IDS nor used the application, answered the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness questionnaire before and after the recording period. Results indicated that IDS improved mother–infant interactions and positive feelings, enhancing maternal physiological arousal. Increased interoceptive sensibility enhanced infants’ positive feelings in the IDS group, whereas in the no-IDS group, it weakened mother’s positive feelings, suggesting that maternal interoceptive sensibility mediated the effects of IDS on mother and infant well-being.
