Abstract

The underlying issue of this study is the increasing prevalence of bullying as a concerning social problem in education, which negatively impacts victims, including a tendency toward self-harm behavior as a maladaptive coping mechanism. This research aims to analyze self-harm behaviors among university students who are victims of bullying and to examine gender differences in these behaviors. The study employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The sample comprises 261 university students who experienced bullying, selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using the Self-Harm Inventory (SHI) and analyzed descriptively and comparatively. The findings reveal that 70.93% of students exhibit low levels of self-harm behavior. However, significant gender differences were observed, with female students showing higher levels of self-harm compared to male students. This study concludes that although the majority of students fall into the low self-harm category, the moderate category requires special attention, particularly among female students. Based on these findings, it is recommended that universities adopt strategic measures to prevent bullying through both preventive and curative approaches. Recent information in this study reveals that, the implementation of effective counseling services and program interventions can be a significant effort to reduce the impact of bullying and self-harm behavior among students.

Abstract

This research focuses on the challenges faced by students with Down syndrome in developing effective social interaction skills, which are often influenced by environmental limitations and the suboptimal role of support systems in schools. The study aims to analyze the role of school counselors as consultants, transmitters, and initiators in supporting the development of social interactions in students with Down syndrome. A descriptive research method with a qualitative approach was employed. The research subjects included school counselors as primary subjects, and class teachers and parents of students with Down syndrome as secondary subjects. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, and then analyzed using triangulation techniques through coding to ensure data validity. The findings indicate that the role of school counselors as consultants helps to provide strategic guidance to teachers and parents, the role as a transmitter function to convey relevant information and understanding about the students' needs, while the role as an initiator facilitates interactive activities that encourage the students' social skills. This study concludes that the role of school counselors is crucial in creating an inclusive and supportive environment for the development of social interactions in students with Down syndrome, ultimately contributing to the improvement of their quality of life. The latest information in this study implies that a more holistic and sustainable approach, both at school and at home, is needed to maximize the social potential of Down syndrome children.

Abstract

The focus of this study is the limited understanding of socio-demographic factors influencing assessment and testing practices among school counselors and other practicing counselors. This research aims to identify the socio-demographic variables that predict such practices. The study employed a quantitative approach with a survey design. The sample comprised 218 counselors selected through purposive sampling during the annual conference of a professional counseling association. Data were collected using an instrument titled “Socio-demographic Variables Predicting Assessment and Testing Practices of School and other Practicing Counsellors Scale (SVPATPSPCNS),” developed based on an in-depth literature review. Data collection was conducted by the researcher and six research assistants. Data analysis utilized multiple regression methods to identify predictive variables. The results indicate that socio-demographic variables such as qualifications, experience, location, and training significantly influence counselors' assessment and testing practices. The findings emphasize the importance of adequate qualifications, sufficient experience, and participation in training and conferences to enhance counselors' competencies in assessment and testing practices. Key recommendations include the need for counselors to obtain relevant formal education, participate in empowerment training, and continuously improve their professional competencies through conferences and advanced training programs.

Abstract

Verbal aggressive behavior, including the use of abusive language, insults, threats, sarcasm, lies, defamation, and calling peers by offensive nicknames, is a persistent form of verbal violence that frequently occurs in school environments. This study aims to develop and empirically examine the effectiveness of a structured group counseling guide based on the Structured Learning Approach, presented in an e-book format, as a preventive intervention against verbal aggressive behavior among junior high school students. The research applied a development research method using the ADDIE model. The study involved 30 students as subjects for the effectiveness test and three experts (material, media, and user validators) for the validation process. Data were collected through expert judgment questionnaires, effectiveness measurement questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis employed descriptive quantitative techniques supported by percentage calculations. The validation results indicated that the counseling guide possesses a very high level of validity in terms of relevance, usefulness, attractiveness, and ease of implementation. Additionally, the effectiveness test results revealed a significant decrease in students’ tendency to engage in verbal aggressive behavior after participating in group counseling sessions using the developed guide. This research concludes that the developed e-book-based group counseling guide is feasible and effective as a preventive strategy for fostering a safer, more positive, and harmonious school environment.

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.
