An investigation into psychosocial factors influencing mental health and well-being in Indonesia

This study explores the nature and conceptualisation of mental health and well-being among Indonesians living in an urban environment. Little is known about the nature of mental health and well-being in the everyday living context in developing countries. In Indonesia, as one of the most populous countries and the largest Muslim population in the world, the incidence of mental health problems has increased immensely in the last decade. However, there is a very limited number of studies that incorporate relevant cultural contexts into the understanding of mental health and well-being in Indonesia. This study aims to elucidate the relationship of specific psychosocial factors, as protective and risk factors, to mental health and well-being in the everyday urban living contexts experienced by a growing middle class in Indonesia in the perspective of Keyes' model of mental well-being. The data for this study were collected through semi-structured interviews and were analysed using Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenological approach.

本研究旨在探究城市环境中印尼人群的心理健康与幸福感的本质及概念建构。目前学界对发展中国家日常生活场景中心理健康与幸福感的本质尚缺乏充分认知。作为全球人口最多的国家之一及全球穆斯林人口规模最大的国家，印度尼西亚的心理健康问题发生率在近十年间大幅攀升。然而，目前仅有极少数研究将相关文化语境纳入对印度尼西亚心理健康与幸福感的认知框架。本研究基于基斯（Keyes）的心理幸福感模型视角，旨在阐明印度尼西亚日益壮大的中产阶层所经历的日常城市生活场景中，兼具保护与风险属性的特定社会心理因素与心理健康及幸福感之间的关联。本研究的数据通过半结构化访谈收集，并采用焦吉（Giorgi）的描述性现象学方法开展分析。
