Ibu muallaf merupakan kelompok yang dapat menghadapi tekanan psikososial berupa penyesuaian identitas keagamaan, potensi konflik dengan keluarga asal, dan keterbatasan dukungan sosial, di samping meningkatnya risiko masalah kesehatan fisik seiring bertambahnya usia. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk melakukan skrining kesehatan fisik dan mengevaluasi perubahan kesejahteraan mental ibu muallaf setelah intervensi psikoreligius berbasis nilai-nilai Islam. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 28 Mei 2026 di Masjid Al Muhajirin Lembomawo, Poso, dengan melibatkan 38 ibu muallaf dari beragam kelompok usia, dengan mayoritas berusia lanjut. Sebanyak 38 peserta memiliki data pre-test dan post-test yang lengkap. Kegiatan terdiri atas dua komponen: (1) skrining kesehatan meliputi tekanan darah, gula darah, dan asam urat; serta (2) sesi peningkatan kesehatan mental melalui pendekatan psikoreligius yang mencakup psikoedukasi, dzikir, tazkiyatun nafs, teknik napas dzikir, serta penguatan makna sabar dan tawakkal yang merujuk pada Al-Qur'an. Kesejahteraan mental diukur menggunakan WHO-5 Well-Being Index sebelum dan sesudah intervensi, lalu dikategorikan menjadi “baik” atau “rendah”. Hasil skrining menunjukkan 32 peserta (84,2%) memiliki tekanan darah pada kategori tinggi, 30 peserta (78,9%) memiliki kadar asam urat pada kategori meningkat, dan 18 peserta (47,4%) memiliki kadar gula darah pada kategori meningkat. Proporsi peserta dengan kesejahteraan mental “baik” meningkat dari 36,8% (14 dari 38) sebelum intervensi menjadi 89,5% (34 dari 38) setelah intervensi. Uji McNemar menunjukkan adanya perubahan proporsi yang signifikan (p < 0,001). Temuan ini menunjukkan potensi pendekatan psikoreligius yang dipadukan dengan skrining kesehatan untuk mendukung kesejahteraan mental ibu muallaf serta mengidentifikasi risiko kesehatan fisik yang memerlukan perhatian lebih lanjut. Karena desain tidak menggunakan kelompok pembanding, perubahan tersebut tidak dapat diatribusikan secara eksklusif kepada intervensi.
IntroductionBusiness performance in coastal agribusiness SMEs is increasingly challenged by environmental uncertainty, fluctuating market conditions, and limited organizational resources. While previous studies have highlighted the importance of organizational capabilities, limited attention has been given to how these capabilities are transformed into superior business performance through innovation capability, particularly in coastal agribusiness contexts.PurposeThis study examines the relationships among managerial capability, market orientation, innovation capability, and business performance using a quantitative research design.Design/Methodology/ApproachData were collected from 200 owners of coastal agribusiness SMEs in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, using purposive sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results indicate that managerial capability (β = 0.474, p < 0.001) and market orientation (β = 0.218, p < 0.001) have positive and significant effects on innovation capability, with managerial capability demonstrating the stronger influence. Innovation capability also exerts the strongest direct effect on business performance (β = 0.393, p < 0.001), while partially mediating the relationships between managerial capability, market orientation, and business performance. These findings suggest that organizational capabilities create business value not only through their direct contributions but also by strengthening firms’ ability to develop market-oriented innovations.Originality/ValueThis study extends the Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capabilities perspectives by demonstrating that innovation capability functions as a strategic mechanism linking organizational capabilities with business performance in coastal agribusiness SMEs. The findings further imply that sustainable competitiveness depends more on organizational adaptability and innovation than on the availability of natural resources alone.
Background The measurement of professional competency in school counseling remains methodologically constrained by fragmented domain assessment and heavy reliance on classical test theory approaches. There is a critical need for an empirically calibrated instrument that integrates regulatory competency standards with expanded theoretical domains while ensuring measurement precision and structural coherence. This study developed and validated a multidimensional instrument of professional competency for school counselors using Rasch analysis. Methods A cross-sectional instrumental design was implemented. The instrument was constructed across seven domains: assessment, development of guidance and counseling program, implementation of guidance and counseling services, evaluation of guidance and counseling program, supervision of pre-service counselor training, continuous professional development, and collaborative engagement in co-curricular programs. Seventy-one items were rated on a five-point Likert scale. Data from 93 practicing school counselors were analyzed using the Rasch Rating Scale Model. Analyses included the evaluation of category functioning, item and person fit statistics, reliability and separation indices, and principal component analysis of residuals (PCAR) to assess construct dimensionality. Results The Rasch model demonstrated acceptable item fit and ordered rating scale thresholds. The raw variance explained by measures was 53.4%, with 6.7% unexplained variance in the first contrast, indicating a dominant latent construct despite the multidomain theoretical structure. Item difficulty estimates ranged from −1.68 to +1.71 logits, forming a hierarchical continuum from foundational service practices to advanced supervisory and professional roles. Reliability and separation indices indicated stable item calibration and adequate differentiation among levels of professional competency. Conclusions The findings support the preliminary evidence of structural validity, hierarchical calibration, and measurement precision of the instrument within a unified Rasch framework. The instrument provides a methodologically robust basis for professional assessment, supervision, and competency-based development in school counseling contexts, with significant potential for further validation across diverse educational systems.
Karae Village, Siompu District, possesses coral reef ecosystems that are essential to the sustainability of coastal resources; however, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by destructive fishing practices and low awareness among young people. This community service activity aimed to enhance youth participation and understanding in Karae Village regarding coral reef conservation through a citizen-based coral reef transplantation approach. The program was implemented using a participatory approach comprising preparation, education, transplantation implementation, mentoring, and activity evaluation stages, involving 25 young participants. The results showed that all transplanted coral fragments were in good initial condition and remained stable on the substrate. In addition to producing physical outputs in the form of coral reef transplantation structures, the activity also improved participants’ knowledge, awareness, and environmental attitudes toward the ecological functions of coral reefs and the importance of coastal conservation. The citizen-based approach proved effective in integrating conservation knowledge with practical action and has strong potential to serve as a sustainable community service model for coastal ecosystem management.
