Method: This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, synthesizing and analyzing data from journal articles and books retrieved from academic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Harzing, and Mendeley.

Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of animated media on student learning motivation, specifically investigating how its use influences motivation in an academic setting. Method: The research involved 79 university students from the Educational Technology program at Universitas Sebelas Maret, selected through random sampling. Two variables were tested: the use of animated media (independent variable) and learning motivation (dependent variable). A questionnaire was used as the research instrument, and its validity, reliability, and normality were tested. Results: The analysis revealed that all instrument items were valid (r calculated > r table) and reliable (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.6), with the data showing a normal distribution (p = 0.194 > 0.05). Regression analysis revealed that animated media had a significant influence on learning motivation, accounting for 78.2% of the variation (R-squared = 0.782). The F-value of 120.960 and significance of 0.000 (< 0.05) confirmed the reliability of the model. Conclusion: Animated media significantly enhances learning motivation, particularly in explaining abstract concepts. However, challenges related to animation creation skills and access to technology need to be addressed. Contribution: This study offers educators valuable insights on how to incorporate animated media to enhance learning motivation effectively.

Model Journal of Self-Care and Mental Well-Being Intervention Strategies in Coping with Technostress in Employees: A Conceptual Study Yusof, Norizan Technostress Self-care Mental well-being Responsiveness Work-life balance JD-R model Background: In the digital era, technostress poses a significant challenge to workers' mental well-being and productivity. It refers to the psychological stress from constant technology use, leading to emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and poor work-life balance. Managing its impact is crucial as technology becomes more integrated into the workplace. Objective: This study aims to explore self-care and mental well-being intervention strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of technostress among employees, proposing a conceptual model to address these challenges. Method: Based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model, the conceptual model integrates three key components: (1) technostress dimensions (technoload, techno-invasion, and techno-complexity), (2) self-care interventions (mindfulness, mindfulness training, and digital detox), and (3) mental well-being outcomes (reduced stress, increased endurance, and work-life balance). Result: The study suggests that psychological responsiveness and mind-awareness training are critical protective factors against technostress. These interventions help reduce stress, improve endurance, and promote a better work-life balance. Conclusion: This research highlights the significance of self-care strategies in mitigating technostress and enhancing mental well-being in high-tech work environments. Organizations are encouraged to adopt sustainable digital well-being policies. Contribution: This study offers valuable insights into effective interventions for managing technostress, thereby contributing to the development of digital well-being programs in the workplace.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Treatment Options Scott, David Bebber, Emily Bizoukas, Kaitlynne Hudgins, Thomas Scott, Michelle Anxiety Generalized Anxiety Disorder Treatment Background: Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a chronic mental health condition characterised by persistent and excessive worry that lasts for at least six months and interferes with daily functioning. The disorder affects adolescents and adults worldwide and is frequently accompanied by psychological and somatic symptoms such as restlessness, fatigue, sleep disturbance, irritability, and impaired concentration. Because these symptoms often appear in primary health settings, accurate diagnosis remains challenging. Objective: This article reviews the aetiology, clinical characteristics, and current treatment options for GAD, highlighting emerging therapeutic approaches. Method: The study employs a narrative literature review of recent psychological and psychiatric publications on diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, pharmacological management, and cognitive-behavioural interventions. Results: Findings indicate that GAD presents with diverse symptom trajectories across the lifespan and disproportionately affects certain populations, including women and older adults. Evidence also shows that combined pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy remains the most effective treatment, while mindfulness-based and integrative therapies demonstrate promising complementary outcomes. Conclusion: Comprehensive and individualised treatment is essential for improving long-term symptom management and quality of life. Contribution: This review synthesizes evidence supporting clinical practice.

Basic Psychological Needs as Process and Content in Organismic Process Therapy (OPT): An SDT Framework for Counseling Practice Lynch, Martin F. Self-determination theory Basic psychological needs Counseling process Autonomy support Organismic process therapy Motivation Background: Self-Determination Theory (SDT) offers a well-established framework for understanding human motivation, psychological well-being, and maladjustment within relational contexts. Despite its strong empirical foundation, the translation of SDT into a structured counseling process model remains limited in the counseling literature. Objective: This article aims to develop Organismic Process Therapy (OPT) as a theory-grounded counseling framework that systematically translates SDT principles into a coherent therapeutic model for counseling practice. Method: Using a theoretical and conceptual analysis, this study synthesises literature from SDT, humanistic and constructivist counseling traditions, and research on motivation, trauma, attachment, and multicultural counseling to construct an integrative conceptual model. Result: The analysis proposes OPT as a counseling model in which the satisfaction of three basic psychological needs, autonomy, competence, and relatedness functions simultaneously as both the process and the content of therapy. The model is organised into three recursive phases: relational attunement, motivational clarification, and autonomy restoration, which guide counselors in facilitating autonomy-supportive therapeutic relationships. Conclusion: OPT conceptualises counseling as a relational context that restores basic psychological needs and supports clients’ movement toward volitional functioning and psychological integration. Contribution: The framework provides an integrative bridge between motivation theory and counseling practice, offering theoretical guidance for counseling practice, counselor education, and supervision while establishing a conceptual foundation for future empirical research on autonomy-supportive therapeutic processes.
