Abstract

Child marriage constitutes a violation of child rights and a form of gender-based violence that significantly impacts human capital and restricts children's life opportunities. This phenomenon is highly alarming, where its prevalence is among the highest nationally, thus necessitating a focused intervention. The primary goal of this research is to develop a structured psychoeducation intervention design and evaluate its effectiveness by analyzing students' knowledge improvement concerning the definition, causes, impacts, and prevention efforts of child marriage. The study employed a quantitative experimental method with a One-group Pretest-Posttest design on students using purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using the t-test. Results indicate a highly significant increase in post-test scores (M=116.92) compared to pre-test scores (M=101.08), with a mean difference of 15.83 (p < 0.05). The greatest improvement was observed in the variables related to causes and prevention efforts, demonstrating that psychoeducation is effective in enhancing both students' theoretical and practical awareness. The psychoeducation intervention successfully empowered students, establishing it as a crucial and sustainable strategy in the efforts to protect child rights in border regions.

Abstract

Personality problems among university students, such as identity crises, low self-confidence, and difficulties in self-regulation, indicate that their personality potential has not been fully optimized. This study aims to develop a counseling guideline, the Spiritual Cognitive Behavior Technique to Optimize Students’ Personality Potential (SCBTec-SPP), as an innovation in counseling services. The research employed a research and development approach using the Borg and Gall model, limited to the first five stages: research and information collecting, planning, developing a preliminary form of product, preliminary field testing, and main product revision. The research subjects consisted of 100 students for the preliminary study, 3 experts (media, content, and counseling practitioners), and 35 students for the practicality test. The research instruments included the Student Personality Potential Questionnaire, expert validation sheets, and a practicality questionnaire. Data were analyzed using percentage techniques and the Content Validity Index (CVI). The results showed that the counseling guideline was deemed feasible with an average expert validation score of 86.1% and was practical to use with an S-CVI/Ave score of 0.83, indicating that the SCBTec-SPP counseling guideline is feasible, practical, and has the potential to enhance the quality of counseling services.

Abstract

Career awareness among junior high school students remains low due to the lack of interactive and engaging guidance approaches. Conventional lecture-based career counseling often fails to spark student interest or encourage meaningful reflection about their future. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Career Snakes and Ladders Simulation Game as a group guidance medium to enhance career awareness. A quantitative experimental method with a quasi-experimental design was employed. The sample consisted of 20 eighth-grade students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in a one-hour simulation game session, while the control group received traditional lecture-based guidance. Data were collected using a validated Career Awareness Questionnaire and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group (p = 0.001) with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.543). The game proved effective as a medium to increase students’ career awareness through movement-based, interactive, and engaging strategies. The findings imply that game-based approaches can serve as a strategic alternative in guidance and counseling services, particularly within the context of innovative and enjoyable career counseling models.

Abstract

The mental health landscape among Indonesian adolescents is showing an increasingly alarming trend. Data indicate that approximately 15.5 million adolescents, or 34.9% of that age group, are struggling with at least one form of mental health issue. Among the various problems faced, loneliness holds a crucial position as it not only affects emotional well-being but also significantly influences the social development of adolescents. This study was conducted to examine the role of psychological distress and neuroticism as predictor variables of loneliness among broken home adolescents in Indonesia. The research sample consisted of 485 adolescents aged 15-21 years from various regions across Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. The study employed a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis. The instruments used were the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10), the NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), and the De Jong-Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS). The findings showed that both the major and minor hypotheses were accepted. Psychological distress and neuroticism were found to be significant joint predictors of loneliness (F= 89.350 and Sig.= 0.000). Psychological distress was a significant positive predictor of loneliness (t = 8.058 and Sig.= 0.000), as was neuroticism (t = 6.030 and Sig.= 0.000). These results imply the necessity for comprehensive interventions to manage psychological distress and neuroticism in order to reduce loneliness among adolescents from broken homes.

Abstract

Suicidal ideation among university students has become a significant global mental health issue. Academic, social, and economic pressures increase students’ vulnerability to suicidal thoughts. Despite the growing number of studies, there is still no comprehensive bibliometric mapping that synthesizes research trends, risk factors, and interventions for the student population. This study aims to investigate the research trends related to suicidal ideation in students, identify contributing factors, and evaluate effective interventions. By employing a bibliometric approach and conducting a visual analysis of 382 documents from Scopus, the study uncovers common patterns and strategies that can be utilized to address this issue. The findings indicate that key risk factors include poor mental health, depression, and hopelessness. In contrast, social support, hope, and gratitude are emphasized as potential protective factors. Effective interventions identified in this study encompass enhancing social support, improving coping skills, ensuring access to mental health services, and implementing positive psychology-based therapies. This study has several limitations. The analysis is restricted to Scopus-indexed documents and depends on metadata quality, which may exclude relevant studies and introduce bias into the interpretation of results. Future research should incorporate additional databases, employ mixed-method designs, and test interventions grounded in a biopsychosocial–spiritual paradigm, including cybercounseling formats, to reduce suicidal desire and suicidal ideation among university students.

Abstract

The complex and demanding role of school counselors requires a strong sense of meaning in life (MIL). MIL plays a vital role in helping counselors manage stress, maintain psychological well-being, and strengthen their professional identity. Burnout and loss of purpose as counselors are complex issues in the professionalism of counselors. The purpose of this study is to explore the subjective, lived experiences of school counselors in finding and constructing MIL through their professional roles. The research employed a qualitative phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations with five school counselors. Data analysis was conducted through three stages: reduction, reflection, and refinement. The findings reveal four key themes in the meaning in life of school counselors: (1) a sense of peace and fulfilment in performing their professional roles, (2) growing together with students, (3) the presence of support systems that sustain their career journey, and (4) spirituality that strengthens their professional commitment. These findings indicate that meaning in life serves as a psychological foundation that fosters emotional stability and professionalism among school counselors. When meaning in life is deeply internalized, school counselors naturally provide guidance and counseling services with sincerity, creativity, and empathy in supporting their students’ development.

Abstract

Psychological well-being is a crucial psychological condition that every individual should possess, as a high level of psychological well-being contributes significantly to the overall course of a person’s life. The purpose of this study is to develop a psychological well-being instrument that can be used to identify an individual’s psychological well-being condition. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D design model. The respondents of this study consisted of 129 high school students. Data analysis for the instrument development utilized Aiken’s V, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, and Cronbach’s Alpha. The results of the study produced a valid psychological well-being instrument consisting of 48 items and a reliable coefficient with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.876. The implication of this instrument development, in general, is that educators and educational practitioners can accurately identify students’ psychological well-being conditions through the administration of this instrument. Specifically, for school counselors, the data can serve as an initial reference for planning guidance and counseling programs or providing follow-up interventions for students with low levels of psychological well-being.

Abstract

Many individuals experience confusion regarding the meaning and purpose of life due to the pressure of social comparison, making it difficult for them to fully understand themselves. This study aims to analyze the existential values in the novel Seporsi Mie Ayam Sebelum Mati as a source of existential counseling intervention. The study was conducted using Gadamer's hermeneutic approach and data analysis using the Miles and Huberman model, allowing for in-depth interpretation of the characters' experiences and the existential values contained therein. The results show that freedom, suffering, hope, openness, and responsibility are the main themes in the characters' journeys to find the meaning of life. Relevant to existential counseling interventions, it can strengthen counselors in helping clients become more aware of their life choices, accept themselves, find their direction in life, manage emotional wounds, and take ownership of their lives. These findings confirm that literary works can function as a reflective medium and help clients understand the meaning of life more deeply. This study strengthens the practice of existential counseling by providing literary narratives as intervention materials. This approach allows counselors to guide individuals in connecting personal experiences with existential values, so that clients can live lives more authentically, responsibly, and meaningfully. Thus, this research opens up opportunities for the development of narrative-based creative counseling methods, which can be adapted in various educational or psychological contexts.

Abstract

The lack of interactive and accessible learning media remains a major challenge in delivering sexual education to individuals with hearing impairments. This condition potentially leads to limited understanding of reproductive health and safe sexual behavior among this group. This study aimed to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of developing the SEHATI educational board game as a learning medium to enhance sexual education understanding among individuals with hearing impairments. This research employed a research and development (R&D) approach using an instructional media development design. The research subjects consisted of two media experts, two subject-matter experts, and ten students with hearing impairments involved in a limited trial. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and feasibility questionnaires, using expert validation sheets and user response questionnaires as research instruments. Data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis to determine the feasibility of the developed media and students’ responses to the educational board game. The results show that the SEHATI educational board game is highly feasible based on expert evaluation and received positive responses from students. The media enhances learning engagement and understanding of sexual education concepts among individuals with hearing impairments. Overall, SEHATI serves as an innovative and inclusive learning medium for reproductive health education.
