This study investigates the effect of smartphone addiction, achievement motivation, and textbook reading intensity on academic achievement. This quantitative study involved 720 students from two public universities. The cluster random sampling technique and three psychological scales namely Smartphone Addiction Scale, Achievement Motivation Scale, and Reading Textbook Intensity Scale were employed for data collection. The data were analyzed using path analysis technique.

The purpose of this study is to find out more about the psycho-social-spiritual problems experienced by People with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) Muslims and their efforts to overcome them by using religious coping. This research is a qualitative research method with a telling-the-stories approach. This study describes assumptions about the physical/behavioral, social/emotional, cultural/historical, and spiritual aspects related to clinical participants' body, life, and power. In the context of this research, telling the stories from HIV/AIDS patients about how psycho-social-spiritual problems are experienced and efforts to overcome them with religious coping. This study involved 33 HIV/AIDS patients informants at Central General Hospital (RSUP) of Dr. Kariadi Semarang, Central Java with the criteria of being Muslim, medication adherence (ARV therapy). The results showed that most PLWHA experienced physical complaints such as pain in the early days of taking ARVs, opportunistic infections such as Stevens-Johnson, dizziness, temporary blindness, and body stiffness. Psychological problems including stress, anxiety, fear of death, and guilt. The physical and psychological problems experienced by PLWHA encourage them to use religious coping such as praying, dhikr, and prayer. This religious coping has a calming effect, which impacts reducing physical complaints and overcoming psychological problems. The psychoneuroimmunology pathway can explain the physical and psychological relationship, which shows that favorable psychological conditions trigger the nerves to work optimally to increase immunity. In conclusion, religious coping can be used to overcome the bio-psycho-social-religious problems of PLWHA. This strengthens the application of holistic therapy to PLWHA through palliative care to handle pain and other physical complaints and psychosocial-spiritual concerns.

Subjective well-being is an essential part of mental health in both religious and non-religious communities. On a global scale, most research on the relationship between religiosity and subjective well-being is conducted on English-speaking, Western, and Christian populations. This large-scale study is expected to complement and balance previous research by reporting the important role of resilience as a mediator in the relationship between religiosity, social support, and self-efficacy on subjective well-being based on a sample of Indonesians, the world's largest Muslim population. Data collection uses adaptation of standardized scales, namely the Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) for measurement of Subjective well-being, Resilience Evaluation Scale (RES) for resiliency, The Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS) for religiosity, The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) for social support, and the General Self-efficacy scale (GSES) for self-efficacy. A convenience sample of 1640 Muslim undergraduate students made up the responses. This study's findings suggest that self-efficacy, social support, and religiosity all directly influence resilience. Subjective well-being is directly affected by religion, social support, self-efficacy, and resilience. The association between self-efficacy, social support, self-religion, and subjective well-being is mediated by resilience. Resilience partially mediates the relationship between religiosity, social support, and self-efficacy with subjective well-being. This research has practical implications for the practice of Islamic guidance and counseling, notably the use of religion as a tool to build resilience, for instance, through a more positive reading of difficulties as God's gift for personal growth.
