Self-Compassion and Psychological Well-Being among NonLocal Students: The Mediating Role of Resilience

Psychological well-being is one of the most essential aspects of the life of overseas students. To improve psychological well-being, students should have a positive attitude towards themselves and good resilience with the aim that they can live a life with good mental health and well-being. Therefore, this research aims to determine the role of resilience in the relationship between self-compassion and psychological well-being among non-local students in Indonesia.

Non-local students who love themselves and accept their weaknesses and failures tend to be able to cope with stress and survive in every difficult condition experienced in their lives, which will lead them to reduce psychological distress

Mental Health and Older Adults: A Narrative Synthesis of the Literature

The older adult population has been a growing concern in the global context calling for attention to aging processes, supportive measures and health care policies. In the Philippines, the population of older people is accumulating swiftly with a faster growth compared to the total population of the country. Thus, this calls for a closer attention on the overall wellness and the mental health of older adults that are more crucial in comparison to other ages in one’s lifetime.
