Background: The different philosophies of care between midwives and obstetricians influence maternal health services. Midwives deliver a holistic physiological approach, while obstetricians implement a medical approach and a technocratic model. Different perspectives in interpreting professional philosophies may impact the choices of antenatal providers for midwives, themselves. This study aims to determine the self-concept of Indonesian midwives in interpreting professional philosophy regarding the decision-making of the antenatal provider during pregnancies. Materials and Methods: A qualitative descriptive with a phenomenological approach was carried out. It used a purposive sampling method. This study involves 15 midwives who are still active in providing services in private midwifery practices, primary health centers, and hospitals that had experienced pregnancy. The variable was the perspective of midwives in choosing ANC providers considering the self-concept. Data obtained by in-depth interview technique for 60-90 minutes duration and is analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. Results: As the results, the selection of ANC providers has been shaped by the self-concept factor. Most perspectives are influenced by (1) knowledge of the physiological and high-risk of pregnancy concept (2) previous experiences in pregnancy/ childbirth/ after birth (3) role in families when addressing reproductive health decisions. Conversely, education level and work experiences did not affect the option to have antenatal care. Conclusion: Self-concept influences midwives’ perspective of making decisions about ANC providers. This study shows there is a limited understanding of the philosophy of midwifery care which reflects on the decision-making of the midwives in regard to the care received during the pregnancy.

ABSTRACTThis study aims to describe the self-concept of the transgender and the process of forming the self-concept of the transgender. The data analysis of the research results was carried out qualitatively. The approach used is a phenomenological approach, where the subjects studied are transgender women who study at the Makassar Tourism Academy. The results of the study prove that Subject 1 (NN) and subject 2 (OP) have a negative self-concept because they are unable to position themselves as a whole, being male or female. After all, they can play two genders at once, confusing gender, while 3 (ED) has a positive self-concept because the subject is positive about him.Keywords : self-concept, transgender  ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendiskripsikan konsep diri kaum waria dan proses pembentukan konsep diri kaum waria. Analisis data hasil penelitian dilakukan secara kualitatif. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan fenomenologi, dimana subjek yang diteliti adalah waria yang kuliah di Akademi Pariwisata Makassar. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa Subjek 1 (NN) dan subjek 2 (OP) memiliki konsep diri yang cenderung negatif dikarenakan belum mampu memposisikan diri seutuhnya menjadi laki-laki atau perempuan karena mampu memerankan dua jenis kelamin sekaligus dalam kehidupannya sehingga mengalami kebingungan identitas jenis kelamin, sementara subjek 3 (ED) memiliki konsep diri yang cenderung positif dikarenakan penilaian positif terhadap dirinya.

To identify the perceptions of women oocyte donors this qualitative study was conducted on 30 oocyte donors using in-depth interview. The three main categories of decision-making challenge, the consequences of participation in assisted reproductive treatment, and the contrast between the self-image and social-image of the donor were inferred. Financial and altruistic motivation, social taboo, and the approval of trusted people were the sub-categories of the decision-making challenge. The results of the study showed that the decision for oocyte donation follows the effort of women to balance the financial and spiritual benefits of the donation against its cultural barriers.

This study aimed to understand the dynamics of self-concept among teenage girls who read teenlit. The subjects of this study were three high school students who had actively read teenlit for at least two years. In addition, the data were obtained also from five informants who often interacted and could provide an overview about the subjects. This study used a qualitative method with phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interview on subjects and informants, observation during interview and use of teenlit as written document. The findings indicated that characters in teenlit influenced the girls’ self-concept through the mechanism of social comparison and modeling. By observing various characters found in the teenlits they read, they tended to pay attention to a teenlit’s characters that are superior to themselves. Therefore, such comparison led them to have negative self-concept. However, if they had made critical self-appraisal based on a motive of self-improvement while comparing themselves with the characters, they would have had positive self-concept. It can be concluded that a character that is considered better may become a model for the formation of an ideal self-concept. Through modeling, youth also form an actual self-concept of which is previously less aware. Keywords: modeling, self-concept, social comparison, teenlit

One of the scholarship programs at the University of Jember, which annually provides a lot of quotas, is a scholarship through the Bidikmisi program, which is given to students who come from economically low-income families and a good history of achievement. As it is known that ideally, Bidikmisi students must behave, appear, and act according to the definition of Bidikmisi scholarship itself to prevent misunderstandings in the use of scholarship funds. But still, some Bidikmisi students at Jember University do not display the definition of 'ideal.' From this phenomenon, a question arises about 'Self-Concept of Bidikmisi Students at Jember University.' In this study, researchers used a qualitative descriptive approach, which aims to obtain information about the self-concepts of Bidikmisi students at Jember University. The theory used is symbolic interactionism by George Herbert Mead, where the theory explains that a person is seen as an actor who interprets, evaluates, defines, acts, and tells about the use of symbols as a form of interpretation in one's interactions with others or with groups. The symbols used cold become in the form of verbal or nonverbal. The results showed that there were two kinds of Bidikmisi students' self-concepts, namely positive concepts and negative concepts. Positive self-concept, namely (1) making parents proud, (2) getting high achievements and aspirations, (3) being responsible. On the other hand, negative self-concepts are (1) feeling inferior (2) overly confident. Keywords: self-concept, Bidikmisi students, positive concepts, negative concept Referensi: Burns, R.B. 1993.

The present study examined the content of self-related beliefs (i.e., the self-concept) and the level of certainty associated with these beliefs (i.e., self-concept certainty) across adaptive and maladaptive dimensions of perfectionism. A sample of 103 university students (26 adaptive perfectionists, 28 maladaptive perfectionists, and 49 non-perfectionists) completed a series of questionnaires and a reaction-timed computer task assessing their self-concept content and level of self-concept certainty. Results revealed significant differences in the content of self-beliefs about personality attributes between perfectionist groups, such that those classified as adaptive perfectionists held more positive beliefs and less negative-related beliefs about their personality attributes when compared to maladaptive perfectionists. Results regarding self-concept certainty were less clear, with adaptive perfectionists being most certain in general on self-report measures, but more certain for positive personality attributes only when compared to maladaptive perfectionists on a reaction-timed decision-making task. Findings from the present study are discussed in terms of the way that self-concept certainty may differ across adaptive and maladaptive subtypes of perfectionists.
