Yahya Muhammed Bah — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Despite robust international and national rights frameworks, disaster risk reduction and management still center on the non-disabled. As climate-related hazards intensify, people with disabilities face a 2–4x higher risk of injury or death, exposing persistent gaps in inclusive planning and service delivery. Objective: To identify and synthesize support services required by PWDs during and after disasters, and to translate these needs into actionable implications for disaster management and risk reduction planners. Method: A systematic review of peer-reviewed literature published from 2000 onward, along with select reports from long-standing international organizations, was conducted using multi-source searches. Eligible studies addressed supports for PWDs across the response and recovery phases. Data were extracted and thematically synthesized. Result: Required supports coalesced into eight domains: health & rehabilitation; accessibility & mobility; communication; participation & governance; social–family support; psychosocial & protection; livelihood & financial assistance; and data & coordination. Conclusion: Disability-inclusive disaster management requires embedding universal design, co-production with PWDs, and guaranteed accessibility across all phases, from warnings and evacuation to long-term recovery. Systems must ensure continuity of care, accessible infrastructure, and accountable governance to reduce disproportionate risk. Contribution: This review consolidates fragmented evidence into a practical, planner-ready framework of service domains, offering a checklist for operational readiness and highlighting evidence gaps in low-resource settings, intersectional risks, and continuity of assistive technology during protracted recovery.

Background: Parental parenting styles play a crucial role in children's personality development, influencing various aspects such as self-esteem, independence, and social skills. Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of parental parenting styles on children's personality development in high school students, focusing on how authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful parenting styles affect children's character. Method: This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. Data were collected through questionnaires given to parents and students, as well as interviews to obtain more in-depth information about the parenting styles applied. Data analysis was performed using regression tests to determine the influence of parenting styles on children's personality development. Result: Parental parenting styles have a significant influence on children's personality development. Authoritative parenting is associated with better self-esteem, independence, and social skills, while authoritarian and permissive parenting tends to hinder children's positive development. Conclusion: Good parenting, remarkably authoritative parenting, has a significant influence on the development of a healthy child's personality. Therefore, parents are expected to employ supportive parenting styles, enabling children to develop into independent, confident individuals with strong social skills. Contribution: This study makes a significant contribution to the literature in the field of developmental psychology and family counseling. Keywords: Family guidance and counseling; Parental parenting styles; Children's personality; Junior high school students.

This study used indicators of behavioral focus, natural reward strategies, and constructive thinking to measure students' self-leadership. Results: The results showed that 65% of students fell into the moderate self-leadership category, 19% into the high category, and 16% into the low category. Conclusion: Based on these results, it is essential to design a guidance program that enhances students' ability to lead themselves, manage their goals, and foster a greater sense of responsibility.

Background: Counseling skills are essential for students in psychology, guidance counseling, and social work, as they are crucial for addressing psychological, emotional, and social issues effectively. Objective: This study aims to identify and analyze the factors influencing the development of counseling skills among university students, with particular emphasis on self-efficacy, cultural context, and the challenges encountered during training. Method: A systematic literature review was employed to gather, evaluate, and synthesize findings from empirical studies on counseling skills training for university students. This method enabled a structured and transparent collection of data from sources indexed in reputable academic databases. Results: The findings reveal that experiential learning methods, such as role-playing, internships, and case simulations, significantly improve students' empathy and interviewing skills. The use of technology, such as virtual reality (VR) simulations, also enhances non-verbal communication skills. Group supervision and feedback from peers and instructors accelerate the mastery of practical counseling skills. However, cultural differences and emotional stress during practice remain significant challenges. Conclusion: The study concludes that effective development of counseling skills requires a multimodal approach that integrates theory, practice, reflection, and feedback. It also emphasizes the need for adaptive curricula that take into account local and cultural contexts. Contribution: This research contributes to the design of more effective counseling training strategies, providing insights into how counseling programs can be adapted to meet the diverse needs of students from various cultural backgrounds.

Background: Trauma resulting from traffic accidents often leads to significant psychological impacts, such as excessive fear, insecurity, nightmares, and avoidance behaviors towards situations that remind the victim of the incident. Purpose: This study aims to explore the profound experiences of victims of single-vehicle accidents in understanding the trauma they have experienced and the psychological recovery process they undergo. Method: This research employs a qualitative phenomenological approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, which are then analyzed using phenomenological stages. Results: Participants went through complex emotional phases, starting with shock and extreme fear, which then developed into anxiety and avoidance of situations related to the accident. Their psychological recovery process was gradual, involving family support, self-reflection, acceptance, and the search for deeper meaning in life. Conclusion: The search for meaning and social support plays a crucial role in the psychological recovery of accident victims, showing that post-traumatic growth can occur. Contribution: This study serves as a foundation for developing more empathetic trauma counseling practices, based on validating experiences and reconstructing meaning to aid victims in their recovery.
