The Important of Youth Mental Well-being in the 4.0 Era

Abstract

Mental well-being is an integral part of people's health. Mental well-being helps an individual to deal with emotions and overcome pressures of life, work productively, and able to contribute to the communities. This study aimed to seek the level of mental well-being in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The quantitative methods with survey techniques have been carried out on 400 Aceh youths (87 males and 313 females) using The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) to assess the level of mental well-being. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square Test of Independence, the result shown that 66.3% (N=265) of Aceh youths were in high mental well-being which was satisfied in life, having a positive psychological function, self-acceptance, and have good relationships with others. It is also assumed that people with good mental well-being indicate the fulfillment of eudaimonic and hedonic aspects in their life.
