<![CDATA[Hope is an important construct in counseling and psychotherapy research. Hope also served as one of the protective factors that can support vulnerable populations, particularly detainees. However, no empirically tested hope intervention model has been developed for implementation in detention centers (Rutan) or correctional institutions (Lapas). Therefore, the study aimed to develop a preliminary targeted hope intervention model adapted for the context of Rutan and Lapas. This study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design as a preliminary evaluation of the developed intervention model. Of the 25 selected male detainee participants from Class IIA Yogyakarta Detention Center, only 22 were included in the final analysis due to a plausible reason. The research instrument used was the Adult Hope Scale (AHS) developed by Snyder. The Intervention was conducted in four sessions within a single day. The effectiveness analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The findings indicate that the overall hope enhancement intervention was significant in increasing hope levels (p=0.005). However, when examined by dimensions, a significant improvement was observed in agency (p=<0.001), whereas the pathways dimension did not show a significant change (p=0.969).]]>
