Abstract

The increase in drug abuse cases in Indonesia, especially among women, raises concerns about its impact on physical health and social behavior. One important determinant of drug abuse behavior is an individual's attitude towards the substance. Permissive or positive attitudes towards drugs are known to increase the tendency to use. This study specifically aims to examine the effectiveness of group guidance services in modifying prisoners' attitudes towards drugs. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and time series design. The research subjects involved nine inmates and one former inmate of drug cases who participated in a series of group guidance sessions. Data were obtained through the instrument of Attitude toward Drugs Checklist which was prepared based on Likert scale. Data analysis techniques used include the N-gain test to assess the increase in attitude change and the Wilcoxon test to test the significance of differences before and after the intervention. The results showed that group guidance services were significantly able to change prisoners' attitudes towards drugs, with a Z value of -2.810 and Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.005. These findings indicate that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that group guidance services are an effective approach in reducing permissive attitudes towards drugs, and have the potential to be a supporting strategy in rehabilitation and drug abuse prevention programs in correctional institutions.

Abstract

The issue faced by the wives of drug offenders is the low level of social support, which can affect their psychological well-being. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of group counseling services in enhancing social support for the wives of drug offenders in correctional facilities. This research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a time-series design (O1-O4 pretest and O5-O8 posttest) to measure changes in the level of social support. The subjects of the study were 10 wives of drug offenders. The research instrument was a social support checklist developed using the Likert scale model. Data collection was carried out by administering the instrument during the pretest and posttest, while data analysis was conducted using N-Gain and Wilcoxon tests. The results of the study indicate that group counseling services were moderately effective in increasing social support, with a positive N-Gain value. Furthermore, the Wilcoxon test showed a Z value of -2.805b and Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.005, which indicates that the alternative hypothesis is accepted. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the implementation of group counseling services is effective in increasing social support for the wives of drug offenders.
