Abstract

Counseling is a helping profession.  It is an essential part of the response to COVID-19 crisis ravaging the entire globe.  The COVID-19 pandemic poses a major threat to the entire world’s economy and health.  The virus garnered heightened attention from the media.  Individuals may have difficulty delineating between misinformation and authentic information about the disease.  Many individuals and the general public are fearful (or may become fearful) of contracting the novel virus. The psychological reactions to the Covid-19 pandemic in terms of mental health may include stress, anxiety, depression, fear, uncertainty, panic behavior, the feeling of hopelessness, depression, and suicidal behavior.  Counselling is one of the most needed services at this period when the pandemic is ravaging the entire globe.   This paper, therefore, highlighted various counseling approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and reframing, solution-focused therapy, meditation and mindfulness, and building emotional resilience for mitigating the psychological reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic. Relevant suggestions were made to further mitigate the psychological reactions of individuals.

The method used in this research is quasi-experimental research with Nonequivalent Control Groups Design. The results show that t count = 8.616 > t table = 1.999. So, the conclusion Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means the use of role playing with a behavioristic approach can improve students' interpersonal communication skills.

Abstract

Secondary school teenagers' social retreat was examined in relation to self-efficacy and gender. The study is guided by two goals, two research questions, and two research hypotheses. It was conducted using a descriptive research correlational design. 100 youths were randomly selected from five senior secondary specialised schools. The General Self-Efficacy Scale by The University of Kansas Center (2015) r = 0.86; and the Social Ability Deficiency Scale (SADS/SPS) by Akinade (2017) r = 0.17 were used to collect the data. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation and T-test were used in the study to formulate and test two research hypotheses. Results showed that there is a very strong positive relationship between self-efficacy and social withdrawal (p. 0.05 < r.cal. = 0.863), but there is no significant relationship between male and female adolescents’ social withdrawal behaviour (p. 0.05 < t.cal. = 31.318). Based on the results, the study concluded that self-efficacy has a significant positive relationship with social withdrawal among secondary school adolescents. The study also concluded that female adolescents were more affected by social withdrawal behaviour than their male counterparts. Based on the conclusion, the study recommends, among others that the school management set aside a day for adolescents to engage in co-play. The school counsellors should organise a conference for female adolescents to orientate them more on self-evaluation in order to help them be aware of social withdrawal behaviour symptoms and how to build on their self-efficacy.

Interpersonal communication boils down to personal abilities in interacting with their environment so that individuals can carry out all their activities smoothly in the situations they face. The purpose of this research was to help students have interpersonal communication skills so that they have personal qualities that can interact and adapt to the environment. The method in this action research uses a narrative counseling approach, which is an approach that is suitable for use in services that help with problems related to interpersonal communication. Narrative counseling focuses on directing the client to public speaking, which is the ability to adapt in interactions. The process of a narrative counseling approach in helping problems is carried out using the client telling what is experienced in his personal life, where the activeness of the counselor as a facilitator and the activeness of the counselee is to convey stories as experiences in his life. The use of this narrative counseling approach is based on a conceptual framework to assist clients in finding new meanings and new possibilities in their lives. The narrative counseling approach helps improve interpersonal communication skills by obtaining success of 92%, and there are 23.25% contributing to an increase from the previous percentage, namely 68.75%. These data show that the narrative counseling approach is one of the various approaches that can be used in group Guidance and Counseling services in schools. Guidance and Counseling services have an important and strategic role in supporting the achievement of educational goals holistically.
