Abstract

The participation of teenagers in inappropriate social actions is linked to the disregard for their mental health. This research was carried out to assess how a psychospiritual program impacts the reduction of depression, anxiety, and stress among delinquent adolescents. The study employed a quasi-experimental design, utilizing a single group for pretest-posttest evaluation. In this study, 36 delinquent adolescents who were females (N=36) and were enrolled in an Approved School in Terengganu, Malaysia, participated. The analysis was conducted through paired sample t-tests. The level of depression, anxiety, and stress before and after the psychospiritual program was assessed using the clinical scale for depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS-21). The results showed that the level of depression, anxiety and stress had decreased as much as 0.7619, 1.4643 and 0.7937 respectively after joining the program which was less than 0.05 (p=0.000 ≤0.05). This implies that the psychospiritual program exerts a significant influence in reducing depression, anxiety, and stress levels among adolescent delinquents. As a result, it is prudent to explore the psychospiritual approach as a potential alternative to the conventional allopathic intervention for addressing depression, anxiety, and stress problems especially among female delinquent adolescents at approved schools who have similar criterion.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic also had a psychological impact on various levels of society including trainee counselors. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the coping strategies employed by trainee counselors to overcome their challenges within their internship during COVID-19. This study is a quantitative study and was conducted among 106 final-year trainee counselors enrolled in a bachelor's counseling program at the University Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). There were two instruments used in this study, consisting of a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Malay Brief COPE (MBC) scale. The findings indicate that emotion-focused is mostly used by counselors in training with a mean value of 28.96 (SD=4.891); the mean of problem-focused was 18.08 (SD=3.080); and the mean of avoidance coping was 26.12 (SD=5.341). The study's dataset can be used by counselor educators, the Malaysian Board of Counsellors, clinicians, and academicians to improve the effectiveness and competencies of trainee counselors completing internship during the adverse period.
