Persepsi Mahasiswa Kristen Terhadap Toxic Relationship Dalam Berpacaran
Toxic relationships have become a concerning issue among young people, particularly within the context of romantic relationships among university students. For Christian students, this issue is not only related to psychological well-being but also intersects with theological values and spiritual commitments. This study aims to explore how Christian students perceive toxic relationships in dating, how they interpret the signs of unhealthy relationships, and how their faith influences their decisions in dealing with such experiences. This research is motivated by the increasing phenomenon of toxic relationships among students, which have negative impacts on mental, social, and academic health. Using a qualitative approach and the Critical Discourse Analysis method modeled by Norman Fairclough, This study analyzes students' perceptions of unhealthy relationships and the role of Christian values in addressing this phenomenon. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 15 active students at IAKN Tarutung who had views or experiences related to toxic relationships. The results showed that most respondents understood toxic relationships as oppressive, manipulative, and contrary to the principles of love, respect, and justice in Christian teachings. This perception was shaped by personal experiences, the influence of their social environment, and the spiritual education they received. Furthermore, this study revealed that Christian values and pastoral care play a crucial role in fostering awareness of the importance of healthy and supportive relationships. This research is expected to contribute to the development of pastoral counseling services, particularly in assisting students facing psychologically and spiritually harmful relationships.

Kualitas hidup lansia di panti Jompo Anugrah pematang Siantar: Analisis Psikospiritual
Aging is often accompanied by various physical, psychological, and spiritual changes that affect the quality of life of the elderly. Many elderly living in nursing homes experience feelings of loneliness, isolation, loss of meaning in life, and even despair due to separation from their families and communities. This study aims to analyze the quality of life of elderly people at the Anugrah Nursing Home in Pematang Siantar from a psychospiritual perspective. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that psychospiritual aspects play a significant role in shaping the quality of life of the elderly. Elderly people who are close to God, able to accept their circumstances, and find meaning in life demonstrate a more stable psychological state and a more positive attitude. Conversely, those experiencing spiritual isolation tend to exhibit symptoms of stress, depression, and loss of hope. This study emphasizes the importance of pastoral counseling in supporting the elderly psychospiritually.

Marulaon Nabadia (Perjamuan Kudus) Sebagai Sarana Pendampingan Pastoral Bagi Orang Sakit
This study aims to understand the meaning and implementation of Marulaon nabadia (Holy Communion) as a religious means of pastoral care for the sick, and to explore participants' responses to the meaning of bread and wine as symbols of the body and blood of Christ. This study used a qualitative approach and a pastoral case study method, with six informants: two pastors, two elders (sintua), and two members of the congregation experiencing illness. The results indicate that marulaon nabadia functions not only as a liturgical sacrament, but also as a spiritual medium that presents Christ's love, forgiveness of sins, and strengthening the faith of the sick. The bread and wine in marulaon nabadia are understood not merely as symbols, but as means of God's presence that provide strength and hope. The informants stated that after receiving marulaon nabadia, they experienced inner peace, spiritual healing, and a sense of closeness to God and the church community. This service also reflects the church's active and empathetic presence in holistically accompanying sick members spiritually, emotionally, and socially. Thus, marulaon nabadia has proven to be an effective religious means in the practice of pastoral counseling for the sick.

Refleksi Teologis tentang Pecandu Narkoba
Fokus tulisan ini adalah refleksi teologis tentang cara orang memahami dan mendukung pemulihan pada pecandu narkoba. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kasus kualitatif yang menganalisis pengalaman enam partisipan rehabilitasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemulihan bagi pecandu narkoba adalah proses yang menyeluruh, dan aspek spiritual sangat penting dalam proses tersebut. Sebagai hasil dari pengalaman spiritual yang mendalam dan pemahaman teologis mereka, para peserta menyatakan bahwa kecanduan dianggap sebagai "dosa modern" yang membutuhkan penyembuhan spiritual dan eksistensial, seperti yang disampaikan Rohr. Menurut Patton, dukungan komunitas berbasis iman sangat penting untuk mendorong pemulihan relasi dan identitas karena memberikan koinonia, yang merupakan penerimaan dan dukungan asli. Pelayanan inklusif dan terapeutik yang berakar pada agape esensial juga dapat digunakan untuk pemulihan pecandu narkoba. Refleksi teologis tidak hanya membantu orang memahami penyalahgunaan narkoba sebagai masalah hidup, tetapi juga mendorong inisiatif yang mempertimbangkan iman dan komunitas sebagai subjek kasih ilahi yang berhak atas pemulihan utuh.

Analisis Pastoral Terhadap Pendampingan Kelompok ODGPZ Dalam Program 12 Langkah Narcotics Anonymous Di Loka Rehabilitasi BNN Deli Serdang
This study aims to analyze how the assistance provided to the ODGPZ group in maintaining recovery after undergoing the twelve-step Narcotics Anonymous (NA) program using a pastoral lens. The method used in this study is qualitative, and it was collected through interviews and documentation with ODGPZ, MOD, Counselors, and PM. Pastoral analysis is used to determine how assistance is provided by MOD or counselors to ODGPZ or residents who have undergone the NA twelve-step program. The study's results through pastoral analysis highlight the important role of companions in helping residents undergo rehab, the twelve steps of NA, and spiritual aspects. The implications of the results of this study are discussed to improve understanding by ODGPZ assistance. Through this study, the author found a theological reflection on the image of God, Imago Dei (Genesis 1:26-27), that God created humans in the image and likeness of God; humans fell into sin. They damaged the image of God so that through the atonement of the Cross, Jesus was willing to die and sacrifice to atone for human sins, and God is the Most Forgiving God.

Analisis Genogram Orang Dengan Gangguan Penggunaan Zat (ODGPZ) Kristen Di Loka Rehabilitasi BNN Deli Serdang
The purpose of the study was to analyze the structure, role, function, and constellation of the genogram of people with substance use disorders (SUD) at the Loka Rehabilitas BNN Deli Serdang. This study uses a qualitative research methodology with a case study method (description, analysis, pastoral reflection, and pastoral action). Data collection techniques were obtained through initial observation, interviews, purposive sampling, and documentation. The results of the CPSUD genogram study showed that there were different family structures, roles that were not aligned, experiencing dysfunction and dual constellations, permissive parenting patterns, conflict in the family, and layered grief. The pastoral reflection put forward by the author in this study is that the role of parents in educating children must be wise and balanced. By the teachings of the Word of God (Ephesians 6:4), the author also reflects on himself as a counselor who must bring the right and directed pastoral approach to provide a balance between recovery from addiction and healing from the grief experienced. The pastoral function found based on the genogram is improving relationships with family members. Pastoral action is that the Counselor should use a gestalt approach in counseling and addiction counseling.

Resiliensi Psikospiritual Narapidana Residivis di Lapas Kelas II-B Siborong-borong
The high recidivism rate among prisoners is a serious challenge in the correctional system in Indonesia. This study aims to explore the factors that influence repeat criminal behavior in recidivist prisoners in the Lapas Klas II-b Siborongborong, as well as their psychospiritual resilience in facing challenges. The method used is a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with eight prisoners. The findings of this study are that internal factors, such as psychological, emotional, and spiritual conditions, as well as external factors, such as economic conditions, social stigma, and family support, provide a contextual understanding of recidivist behavior. David Benner's theory, which emphasizes the importance of spiritual relationships in facing life's challenges, is the basis for the analysis in this study. Although prisoners experience difficulties, many show high self-awareness and a desire to change. Social support from family, friends, and spiritual communities is important in building psychospiritual resilience. Spiritual practices, such as prayer and worship, provide the emotional support needed to overcome difficulties. Overall, this study confirms that psychospiritual resilience is a key factor in helping recidivist prisoners undergo the rehabilitation process and prevent recurrent criminal behavior. This study provides recommendations for programs of spiritual guidance, education, psychological support, and monitoring and evaluation to support the reintegration of prisoners into society.

Peran Dukungan Sosial Keluarga Bagi Pemulihan ODGJ di Rumah Sakit Jiwa Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ildrem
People with mental illness (ODGJ-Orang Dengan Gangguan Jiwa) not only depend on medical intervention, but also need social support, especially from family. Family social support plays an important role in maintaining motivation and enthusiasm for life for ODGJ, increasing compliance with treatment, increasing ODGJ's self-confidence, and ultimately accelerating the recovery process. This study aims to determine the role of family social support for the recovery of ODGJ at Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ildrem Mental Hospital, Medan. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with three categories of informants, namely ODGJ patients, patient family members, and health workers. Data were analyzed to identify the types of social support provided and their impact on the patient's recovery process. The study's results showed that social support provided by the family is divided into four primary forms: emotional support, information support, real support, and support for a sense of belonging. All of these forms of support have complementary roles and positively impact the recovery process for ODGJ. Among the four, emotional support is considered the most dominant because it can provide patients a sense of security, appreciation, and acceptance.

Grief Analysis of Families Who Lost Children After the Disaster in Simangulampe
Of the many losses that exist, the tough loss has a significant impact on family balance and sometimes causes complicated grief reactions, such as the death of a child. The purpose of this study is to narrate the stages of grief of parents of landslide victims in Simangulampe, Indonesia, in 2023 based on Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's grief stage theory. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques are carried out using interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this study are that Mr. Silaban (as father) and Mrs. Sinaga (as mother), at the time of the disaster and one year after the disaster had passed, went through five stages of grief irregularly, not permanently, and did not go through them according to the order of the five stages of grief proposed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. The findings of the research are that there are grief rituals carried out by Mr. Silaban and Mrs. Sinaga, such as remembering the most beautiful moments when they were with their two children, which can help them create a connection with their two lost children. Furthermore, there was trauma experienced by Mr. Silaban and Mrs. Sinaga from avoiding the place where the landslide occurred and diverting the conversation from discussing their children. Finally, amid the grief they experienced, God never really let go of them; God cared for them by moving people to provide support and comfort so that Mr. Silaban and Mrs. Sinaga could accept that grief happened in their lives.
