Academic stress has become a common experience among students. Prolonged academic stress can have negative consequences, one of which is the disruption of students' mental health. Lovingkindness Compassion is one of the active protectors of mental health for students. However, there has been no research on the measurement of Lovingkindness in Indonesia.

The Lovingkindeness Compassion scale consists of 15 items with 3 dimensions: compassion, self-centeredness, and lovingkindness. The subjects of this study were 214 active students in Bandung. The results of confirmatory factor analysis show that the model fits with the goodness-of-fit indices of 0.051 (RMSEA), 0.060 (SRMR), and 0.869 (CFI). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis test show that the model fits with fit index values of 0.051 (RMSEA), 0.060 (SRMR), and 0.869 (CFI), so that the Lovingkindness Compassion measuring tool adapted to Indonesian is valid. Furthermore, the reliability test with Cronbach's Alpha coefficient yielded a result of 0.574, indicating that the measurement tool is reliable in the moderate category.

The informant selection technique used was a nonprobability sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. Informants were selected by paying attention to 4 things, namely being a married couple, having an adopted child with special needs with the classification of a child with undiagnosed special needs, having an adoption age of around 8 months and still being cared for and currently not having biological children. Data collection techniques were carried out using observation and in-depth interviews. The examination technique to test the validity of the data in this research was carried out using the credibility test, transferability test, dependability test and confirmability test. The results of this research show that husband and wife couples, in their efforts to build parental acceptance of children with special needs who are adopted, encounter various challenges and difficulties caused by the various limitations of children with special needs. In facing the dynamics of parental acceptance, married couples work together and make various sacrifices to create complete acceptance for children with special needs which is illustrated by achieving 4 aspects of parental acceptance according to Hurlock, namely communication, attention and affection, parental involvement and trust in children. The sacrifice shown is based on the altruistic factors of each partner which Rushton explains into 5 factors, namely feelings, empathy, religiosity, interpersonal relations and social norms.

Choosing a career is a crucial part of someone's life. A career is not just a means to fulfill one's needs; rather, it is a form of self-actualization and a way to build self-concept and social identity in society. This makes the phase of career exploration and job search challenging for individuals. Particularly for students who, after graduating from their education, will face a work environment different from the one they were in before. During the transition from the education world to the workforce, individuals are expected to have the ability to adapt effectively to meet the demands of entering the workforce. The ability to cope with the demands of new roles in the workplace is called career adaptability. Various studies have shown that career adaptability is influenced by several factors within the individual.

The population of this study are students in West Java, with a sample size of 119 individuals. The data analysis technique involves using simple linear regression. The data analysis results indicate that mindset influences career adaptability.
