Abstract

Background: The elementary school years constitute a critical period for the development of competence, aligning with the psychosocial stage of "industry versus inferiority." Self-confidence serves as a protective factor against mental health disorders; however, data from Berau Regency indicates the presence of children falling into "borderline" and "abnormal" mental health categories. Methods: This study employed a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 105 fourth and fifth-grade students from SDN No. 002 Sambaliung, selected using consecutive sampling. The Lauster Self-Confidence Scale, comprising 19 items, was used as the research instrument. Data analysis was conducted using univariate analysis to determine frequency distributions and percentages. Results: The findings revealed that the majority of respondents (59 students or 56.2%) possessed a good level of self-confidence, while 46 students (43.8%) fell into the low category. The respondents were predominantly aged 10–11 years, and almost all (98.1%) lived with their biological parents. Conclusion and Recommendations: While most students demonstrated strong self-confidence, the prevalence of low self-confidence remained notably high. It is recommended that schools and community health centers (Puskesmas) conduct periodic screenings and develop psychosocial interventions based on expressive communication to strengthen the children's self-concept.

Abstract

Confidence in elementary school children is a belief in a positive attitude, and an individual's mental ability to understand their potential to act, be independent, make simple decisions, and adapt to the environment and achieve the desired results. Elementary school-age children are a group of 6-12 years old who are experiencing rapid development in various aspects, such as physical, cognitive, social, language, and emotional. This study aims to analyze the level of confidence in elementary school-age children at SDN 008 Lempunah, Jempang District. The study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique is consecutive sampling. The sample in this study consisted of 106 students. The instrument in this study is in the form of Lauster's confidence questionnaire, which is compiled based on five indicators of confidence on the Likert scale. Data analysis was carried out univariate to describe the characteristics of respondents and the distribution of student confidence levels. The results showed that most of the respondents were in the high category, namely 61 respondents (57.55%). Furthermore, respondents with low confidence levels amounted to 45 respondents (42.45%). The results of univariate data analysis showed that the confidence level of elementary school-age children at SDN 008 Lempunah was mostly in the high category. The determination of the category is based on the median value as the cut off point.
