Nadin film as a medium to enhance Generation Z students’ resilience
Abstract
Background: Generation Z, who make up the majority of today's university students, face psychological challenges due to the complexities of life and the influence of social media, with data showing a high rate of suicide among teenagers. Under these conditions, universities need to facilitate the development of positive adaptation skills. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop film media titled Nadin as an intervention to increase Gen-Z resilience in students of UIN Raden Intan Lampung. Methods: The research employs the Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model. Validation was conducted through questionnaires and interviews involving three media experts, three material experts, three linguists, and 50 students selected by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results: The Nadin film obtained a feasibility score of 75.33% from media experts, 96.58% from material experts, 96% from language experts, and 90.37% from students. The film integrates narrative techniques with resilience-building strategies and was validated as a feasible media intervention. Conclusion: The Nadin film is proven to be an effective media tool to improve Gen-Z resilience in higher education settings. This study contributes to mental health education by providing an innovative and culturally relevant media-based intervention. Implications: Nadin's film has important implications in education, mental health, and media development. As a learning tool, the film helps students deal with psychological challenges while highlighting the need for mental health programmes in higher education. Strong validation from experts demonstrates the potential of other creative media in supporting education. The involvement of students in the validation process also emphasised the importance of listening to their voices in designing relevant interventions. In addition, the positive results encourage further research on the impact of media on developing students' resilience.
