Marriage Perceptions During Quarter‐Life Crisis Among Indonesian <scp>MSM</scp> : A Phenomenological Study for Inclusive Mental Health Nursing

This study provides critical insight into how young men navigating same-sex attraction in Indonesia experience emotional conflict during early adulthood due to cultural and religious pressures to marry. These findings highlight the urgent need for inclusive, identity-affirming and culturally sensitive approaches in mental health nursing. By understanding the unique psychological vulnerabilities of this group, mental health nurses can deliver more compassionate, ethical and effective care, reduce stigma in practice settings and contribute to the development of safe, non-judgemental spaces for all clients regardless of sexual or spiritual identity.
