The Influence of Social Support and Family Interaction on Marital Quality in Middle-Aged Families
Middle-aged families represent a transitional stage in which the youngest child leaves the parental home and couples begin to enter retirement age. This stage often gives rise to emotional challenges, such as empty nest syndrome, which may affect marital quality. This study aimed to analyze the influence of social support and family interaction on marital quality among middle-aged families. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 32 wives as respondents who were still living with their husbands while all children had already lived separately. The study was conducted in Gunung Batu Subdistrict, West Bogor District. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The findings show that social support and family interaction were generally at moderate levels. Support from the nuclear family was high, whereas support from extended family and neighbors was low. Marital quality was mostly low, particularly in the happiness dimension, although satisfaction tended to be higher. Regression analysis showed that husband–wife interaction had a significant positive effect on marital quality, whereas parent–child interaction had a significant negative effect. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening family interactions to support marital quality in middle-aged families

Marital Attachment, Conflict Management, and Marital Satisfaction Among Middle-Aged Couples
Marital satisfaction is the primary goal of a marriage and can be influenced by marital attachment and conflict management. This study aims to analyze the influence of marital attachment and family conflict management on marital satisfaction among middle-aged couples. Data were collected using purposive sampling, involving wives from intact families aged 40–59 years, with adolescent children or from empty nest families. The study was conducted in Lowokwaru Subdistrict, Malang City, involving 66 wives with an average age of 45.97 years. More than three-quarters of the wives from families with adolescent children and empty nest families reported having a secure attachment with their husbands. More than three-quarters of wives from families with adolescent children and more than half from empty nest families demonstrated a moderate level of conflict management. In terms of marital satisfaction, nearly half of the wives from families with adolescent children were categorized as having high satisfaction, while more than half of the wives from empty nest families were in the moderate category. Secure attachment and conflict management were found to have a significant positive relationship with marital satisfaction. Regression analysis showed that longer marital duration, being a family with adolescent children, and effective conflict management had a significant positive effect, while the husband’s age and the wife's employment status had a significant negative effect on marital satisfaction. Younger husbands, longer marital duration, unemployed wives, effective conflict management, and being a family with adolescent children were associated with increased marital satisfaction. Middle-aged husbands and wives are encouraged to actively express care and affection toward each other. Future studies are expected to further examine marital attachment variables and include husbands as research subjects.

THE ROLE OF PARENTAL ACADEMIC SOCIALIZATION AND FRIENDSHIP QUALITY IN ENHANCING SCHOOL CONTINUATION MOTIVATION AMONG RURAL ADOLESCENTS
Educational motivation is a pivotal predictor of long-term academic success, particularly for adolescents in rural communities characterized by limited educational resources, socioeconomic vulnerability, and reduced access to structured academic support. This study aims to empirically examine the influence of parental academic socialization and friendship quality on rural adolescents’ motivation to continue schooling, while also controlling for individual and family background characteristics. Utilizing a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected from 116 ninth-grade students in Cijeruk District, Bogor Regency, Indonesia. Descriptive analyses indicate that levels of parental academic socialization and peer relationship quality were generally low, with school motivation rated at a moderate level. Multiple regression analyses revealed that both parental academic engagement and high-quality friendships significantly and positively predicted educational motivation. This research contributes to the growing literature on educational resilience by evidencing the simultaneous role of familial and peer-based social capital in fostering persistence in education. The study offers contextually relevant implications for rural education policy, highlighting the need for integrative interventions that empower families and facilitate prosocial peer dynamics. Its novelty lies in bridging two critical but often separately examined dimensions of social support within an underrepresented spatial context in global educational research.

THE IMPACT OF HEALTH EDUCATION USING FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION ON BREAST SELF-EXAMINATION (BSE) BEHAVIOR AMONG FEMALE STUDENTS AT SMAN 14 MAKASSAR
Breast cancer poses a significant global threat to women's health, yet awareness and practice of its most accessible early detection method—Breast Self-Examination (BSE)—remain low among adolescent girls, especially high school students. This study aims to examine the impact of health education using the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method on BSE behavior among 11th-grade female students at SMAN 14 Makassar in 2023. A pre-experimental research design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was employed. A total of 51 female students were selected through probability sampling. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire assessing both knowledge and attitudes toward BSE. The Wilcoxon test revealed a significant increase in knowledge following the intervention (p = 0.001), indicating a meaningful difference between pretest and posttest scores. In contrast, although there was an increase in attitude scores post-intervention, the result was not statistically significant (p = 0.239). These findings suggest that while the health education intervention effectively improved knowledge about BSE, its influence on attitude change was not statistically confirmed. Nevertheless, the upward trend in attitude scores implies potential for long-term impact. In conclusion, health education through FGD proved to be effective in enhancing students’ knowledge of BSE and may contribute to fostering more positive attitudes over time. This highlights the importance of integrating structured health education programs into school curricula to promote early breast cancer prevention among adolescents.

THE INFLUENCE OF STRESS SYMPTOMS AND COPING STRATEGIES ON THE SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING OF LONG DISTANCE MARRIAGE FAMILIES
Long-distance marriage poses profound psychological challenges for women, particularly in sustaining emotional well-being amid prolonged physical separation from their spouses. This study investigates the extent to which stress symptoms and coping strategies influence the subjective well-being of wives in long-distance marital arrangements. Employing a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, the research involved 41 wives residing in Bandung, Indonesia, who live apart from their husbands and are parenting adolescent children aged 13 to 21 years. Respondents were recruited using a non-probability snowball sampling technique. Descriptive results indicate that participants generally experienced mild stress symptoms, demonstrated moderate levels of coping strategies, and reported high subjective well-being. Correlation analyses revealed a significant negative association between stress symptoms and subjective well-being, while problem-focused coping strategies exhibited a significant positive correlation. Further regression analysis confirmed that stress symptoms negatively predicted subjective well-being (β = -0.44, p < 0.01), whereas coping strategies positively contributed to it (β = 0.38, p < 0.05). These findings underscore the critical role of adaptive coping mechanisms in mitigating psychological distress and enhancing emotional resilience among women managing long-distance marriages. This study offers valuable empirical insights for family practitioners and mental health professionals in developing culturally responsive interventions to support women in trans-local family structures.
