“…The rising prevalence of mental health issues among students is a matter that demands urgent and comprehensive attention. In the Indonesian context, students often experience heightened stress and depression influenced by a combination of cultural, educational, and economic factors (Astutik et al, 2020;Suryaputri et al, 2022;Juliansen et al, 2024). The intense emphasis on academic achievement, deeply ingrained in Indonesian society, creates a pervasive expectation for students to excel academically.…”

Introduction: The rising prevalence of mental health concerns among students in Indonesian higher education necessitates thorough exploration. This study systematically investigates the intricate landscape of spiritual well-being among Indonesian students within Islamic universities. Methodology: Employing a rigorous mixed-methods approach, a survey covering 1547 students aged 18-22, consisting of 26.8% males and 73.2% females across 30 Indonesian Islamic universities was conducted, from Jawa (58.1%), Kalimantan (9.5%), Papua (4.5%), Sulawesi (7.8%), Sumatera (20.1%). This study systematically investigates the intricate landscape of spiritual well-being among Indonesian students within Islamic universities. Guided by Fisher's four-domain theory—personal, communal, environmental, and transcendental—the survey served as the analytical framework. Results: Survey outcomes reveal nuanced levels of spiritual well-being: very low (0.0%), low (42.3%), moderate (57.1%), high (0.6%), and very high (0.0%). The survey results highlight a diverse spectrum of spiritual well-being levels among students, with a significant portion falling into the low to moderate range. This indicates a clear imperative for interventions aimed at enhancing spiritual well-being among this demographic. In-depth interviews with 30 academics from 30 Islamic universities illuminate the repercussions of low spiritual well-being, impacting various dimensions of students' lives. Interview findings discern three distinctive counseling approaches: modern (reality, behavior, and REBT), post-modern (SFBC), and religious counseling (fill ard kholifah counseling). However, these approaches are underutilized, resulting in suboptimal provision of counseling services. The findings recommend each institution focus on crafting an Islamic counseling model to mitigate the prevalence of mental health concerns and significantly enhance students' spiritual well-being, aligning with the distinct characteristics of those studied in Islamic universities in Indonesia.

This study aims to: (1) describe the level of ethical climate at middle schools, (2) compare the ethical climate at public schools based on teacher-student analysis, public school-private school analysis and district level analysis, and (3) explore findings to gain an intensive understanding of issues within the ethical climate realm at middle schools. Using a mixed-method approach with both quantitative and qualitative components, the research involved 360 participants across four schools (288 students and 72 teachers). Proportional stratified random sampling and a modified questionnaire based on Schulte’s instruments were used for collecting data during the quantitative phase. During the qualitative phase, the data were gathered through focused group discussions (FGDs), involving 20 teachers and 4 school principals. The results showed that the level of ethical climate at middle schools in the region was high at an average score of 3.285 out of 4 (82.125%). Notably, there were discrepancies between teacher and student perspectives. The study confirmed that the perceptions were significantly different between teachers and students and among the four schools. However, no discernible disparity in the ethical climate was found between public and private schools. In the qualitative phase, the study highlighted the imperative of discouraging negative behaviors, specifically teenage delinquency and bullying. Socioeconomic disparities were barriers to student interaction, prompting the recommendation for schools to intensify character building for consistent positive behavior. The promotion of honesty was particularly emphasized to mitigate cheating and bullying.
