Indonesians employ various methods to maintain their mental health, as revealed in a survey conducted by the Kurious-Katadata Insight Center (KIC). The survey shows that the majority of respondents (78.5%) maintain their mental health through adequate rest. Furthermore, 73.8% maintain their mental health by focusing on the positive aspects of situations, while 65.1% engage in enjoyable activities or hobbies. Others maintain their mental well-being through regular exercise, daily planning, and meditation, as illustrated in the graph.
Seeking help from a psychologist or psychiatrist ranked lowest, with only 15.9% of respondents utilizing this method. This indicates that seeking professional mental health consultation is not yet a priority for most Indonesians.
The Kurious-KIC survey involved 661 respondents across Indonesia, with 51.7% male and 48.3% female. Over half of the respondents (66.9%) were from Java (excluding Jakarta), followed by respondents from Jakarta (13.5%) and Sumatra (12.3%). Respondents from Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali-Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku-Papua represented a smaller proportion (0.2-2.6%).
Most respondents were aged 25-34 years (37.8%), followed by the 35-44 year (27.5%) and 45-54 year (16.8%) age groups.
Data collection took place from October 6-9, 2023, using computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI), with a margin of error of 3.8% and a 95% confidence level.
