“…This study also found possible mental health problems among 30% of the participants. These results corroborate the finding of a previous study by Warsini, Buettner, Mills, West, and Usher (2015). Furthermore, this study found that the participants experienced stress related to changes in daily life, including environmental stress (e.g., a long distance to farmland and noisy neighbors) and domestic stress (e.g., less income and change in labor).…”

Aim: The eruption of Mount Merapi in Indonesia caused losses, stress, and psychological distress for relocated survivors. Meaning in life is reported to be associated with mental health. This study aimed to investigate the associations among loss, stress related to changes in daily life, meaning in life, and mental health of the relocated survivors. Methods: A cross-sectional study using convenience sampling was conducted in two relocation areas with people from the most damaged villages. Losses, stress related to changes in daily life, mental health, and meaning in life were assessed using the losses questionnaire, the stress related to changes in daily life questionnaire, the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and the Life Attitude Profile-Revised Questionnaire (LAP-R). The Mann-Whitney U-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman's rank test and hierarchical multiple regression were performed for data analysis. Results: Respondents included 172 women and 24 men (mean age = 40.0 years). Nearly one-third of respondents scored seven or more in the SRQ-20, suggesting possible mental health problems. Meaning in life was negatively correlated with stress related to changes in daily life (r s = ¹0.281, p < 0.001) and mental health problems (r s = ¹0.259, p < 0.01). However, meaning in life did not significantly contribute to mental health problems after adjusting for loss and stress related to changes in daily life (¢ = ¹0.092, p = 0.190). Conclusions: Meaning in life is negatively correlated with mental health problems and stress related to changes in daily life. Support to help the survivors find meaning in life may alleviate psychological distress related to relocation stress.

“…The difference in knowledge mastery was caused by the implementation of the SETS thematic learning integrated with local wisdom. Appropriate treatment and the provision of knowledge specifically delivered in accordance with the regions' characters and community could increase the students' understanding significantly (Andreastuti et al, 2017;Manning & Kushma, 2016;Warsini et al, 2015).…”

This study aimed to improve the mastery of knowledge, attitudes, and skills of students in disaster mitigation in prone areas of volcanic eruptions. The subjects of this research were fifth (V) graders in three elementary schools situated in prone areas of Merapi volcano eruption in Srumbung subdistrict, Magelang regency, Central Java. The data collected in this study consisted of disaster knowledge, attitude, and mitigation practice. The data of disaster knowledge were obtained through a test and analyzed using t-test and N-gain. The attitude data were collected using questionnaire with an improvement analysis using N-gain. The mitigation practice data were collected through observation and analyzed by descriptive percentage for attitudes and skills. The research results showed that the implementation of thematic learning of Science, Environment, Technology, and Society (SETS) integrated with local wisdom was able to reconstruct and increase the disaster management knowledge. This can be seen from the N-gain score obtained by each elementary school which the highest Gain Score was 0.46 and included in the medium category. There was an enhancement attitude toward disaster having the highest Gain Score was 0.77. All disaster mitigation indicators were successfully mastered by more than 70 percent of the students, who were in the good category (70≥X≤85) in all three elementary schools implementing the thematic learning of SETS integrated with local wisdom.

“…Purposive sampling was used to attract participants who had experienced the phenomenon of interest. As part of a larger mixed methods study (Warsini et al ), participants from the quantitative phase of the study were recruited for the qualitative phase because they scored high on the measures used to determine the existence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Twenty participants were interviewed for this study.…”

“…The researcher approached the Head of Village and Chief of Hamlet to explain the research and request permission to conduct interviews. Participants were initially approached about their interest in participating in an interview by one of the research assistants who had collected survey data in the previous quantitative phase of the study (see Warsini et al for further detail of that process). The lead author then contacted participants who indicated an interest in being interviewed, and an interview was organised.…”

Mount Merapi in Indonesia is the most active volcano in the world with its 4-6-year eruption cycle. The mountain and surrounding areas are populated by hundreds of thousands of people who live near the volcano despite the danger posed to their wellbeing. The aim of this study was to explore the lived experience of people who survived the most recent eruption of Mount Merapi, which took place in 2010. Investigators conducted interviews with 20 participants to generate textual data that were coded and themed. Three themes linked to the phenomenological existential experience (temporality and relationality) of living through a volcanic eruption emerged from the data. These themes were: connectivity, disconnection and reconnection. Results indicate that the close relationship individuals have with Mount Merapi and others in their neighbourhood outweighs the risk of living in the shadow of an active volcano. This is the first study to analyze the phenomenological existential elements of living through a volcanic eruption.
