Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of critical thinking as a predictor of mental health among university students. A total of 360 undergraduate students in Indonesia participated, selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected both online through Google Forms and offline through direct distribution of questionnaires. Simple linear regression analysis was conducted after meeting the assumptions of normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity. The results indicated that critical thinking significantly predicted students' mental health (F = 12.160, p < 0.05, B = −0.899, t = −3.487). However, the strength of the relationship was relatively weak (R = 0.181, R² = 3.3%), indicating that critical thinking explains only a small proportion of the variance in mental health while other factors contribute more substantially. The negative regression coefficient indicates that higher critical thinking ability is associated with lower mental health problem scores. These findings suggest that critical thinking plays a role in predicting students’ mental health, though its contribution is limited. Therefore, universities should integrate critical thinking training into curricula as part of mental health promotion in higher education environments. Keywords: anxiety, critical thinking, depression, mental health, stress

Abstract

The high academic burden within the pesantren (Islamic boarding school) environment poses a critical risk of triggering academic burnout and decreasing students' self-efficacy. This study examined the effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing (MI) group counseling integrated with Islamic spiritual values, specifically the Takwa, Ikhtiar, and Tawakkal (MTIT) model compared to conventional MI in enhancing self-efficacy and reducing burnout. Employing a 2x2 repeated-measures factorial experimental design, this research involved 24 MTS Al-Asror students (12 male, 12 female) identified with high academic stress. Mixed ANOVA revealed that both interventions significantly improved psychological outcomes over time (p < .001, partial eta squared = .554), with a significant main effect of time on burnout (F(2, 40) = 41.855, p < .001). However, Spiritually-Infused MI demonstrated significantly greater efficacy over conventional MI in accelerating burnout reduction, yielding a significant main effect for counseling technique (F = 3.421, p = .042, partial eta squared = .146) along with a sharper upward trend in self-efficacy. Furthermore, gender did not significantly moderate the clinical effectiveness of either approach (F = 0.814, p = .451, partial eta squared = .039), demonstrating that the therapeutic benefit is universal across biological groups. This study concludes that strengthening transcendental coping mechanisms within group counseling services is crucial for students in faith-based educational institutions to foster holistic academic resilience Keywords: academic burnout, group counseling, islamic values, motivational interviewing,  self-efficacy

Abstract

Verbal bullying is a persistent problem in secondary schools and frequently produces psychological distress, emotional insecurity, and elevated stress among adolescent victims. Although various counseling interventions have been implemented to address bullying-related stress, evidence regarding psychodynamic group counseling remains limited. This study examined the effectiveness of psychodynamic group counseling in reducing stress among high school students who experienced verbal bullying in Banjarmasin, Indonesia. A quantitative pre-experimental study using a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted with eight Grade X students selected through purposive sampling based on their experiences as repeated verbal bullying victims. Stress levels were measured using a validated 25-item perceived stress questionnaire before and after the intervention. The intervention consisted of structured psychodynamic group counseling sessions that emphasized exploring unconscious emotional conflicts, defense mechanisms, interpersonal relationships, self-awareness, and emotional resolution within a supportive group environment. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The findings revealed a significant reduction in participants’ stress levels following the intervention, with the mean score decreasing from 86.50 (SD = 7.19) before counseling to 80.50 (SD = 7.33) after counseling, t(7) = 3.21, p = .015. All participants demonstrated decreased stress scores after the intervention. These findings indicate that psychodynamic group counseling is a promising school-based intervention for alleviating stress among verbal bullying victims and strengthening adolescents’ emotional well-being, although larger controlled studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness. Keywords: adolescents, school counselling, psychodynamic group counseling, stress reduction, verbal bullying

Abstract

Academic procrastination is a common problem among junior high school students and may negatively affect academic performance, psychological well-being, and responsibility in completing academic tasks. This study examined the effectiveness of Islamic-based self-management counseling incorporating the amanah dimension in reducing academic procrastination among junior high school students. The study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design. The researchers selected seven students with high levels of academic procrastination using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item academic procrastination scale developed based on the amanah dimension and validated through expert review and pre-testing. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to determine differences in students' academic procrastination before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant reduction in academic procrastination after implementing Islamic-based self-management counseling, with an Asymp. Sig. value of 0.031. The mean pretest score was 118, which decreased to 84 in the posttest. These findings indicate that the intervention effectively reduced students' academic procrastination. This study's novelty lies in integrating the Islamic value of amanah into self-management counseling, emphasizing responsibility, integrity, discipline, and personal accountability. This approach offers a culturally relevant counseling intervention to address academic procrastination among junior high school students. Keywords: self-management, Islamic, academic procrastination, amanah

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of Gestalt counseling in enhancing self-awareness and emotional intelligence among altruistic students in educational settings. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach systematically identifies, evaluates, and synthesizes empirical studies to minimize bias in conclusions. Literature searches were conducted using the Scopus database for the period 2019–2024, yielding 413 initial articles. Through a multi-stage screening process, we selected 10 key articles for in-depth analysis based on predefined inclusion criteria. The results demonstrate that Gestalt counseling consistently improves self-awareness and emotional regulation and fosters altruistic behavior among students. Quantitatively, several studies reported, for example, a 20% increase in students' empathy levels after counseling sessions and positive correlations between peer support and students’ mental well-being.  These findings highlight the importance of integrating Gestalt counseling programs into educational curricula to strengthen students' emotional well-being, promote a positive school climate, and cultivate prosocial skills within school communities. Further research is recommended, particularly longitudinal studies and controlled experimental designs, to enhance the validity and generalizability of these findings over time. Keywords: altruistic students, education, emotional intelligence, gestalt counseling, self-awareness

Abstract

Career planning is a critical developmental task for high school students preparing for higher education and future employment. This study aimed to develop and validate a web server-based information service medium to support students’ further-study planning within school guidance and counseling. A research and development approach was employed, using an adapted Dick and Carey instructional design framework to guide needs analysis, product development, expert validation, evaluation, and revision. A preliminary needs assessment of 401 students at State Senior High School 1 Gedeg, Mojokerto, indicated that 70% lacked a clear career plan. Product evaluation involved experts in guidance and counseling, educational media, and information technology, alongside three school counselors as prospective users. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using mean scores and inter-rater agreement (IRA), while qualitative feedback informed product refinement. Media validation produced average scores of 3.66 and 3.74 across the reported assessments, whereas guidance and counseling experts rated utility, feasibility, and accuracy at 3.36, 3.33, and 3.50, respectively. Prospective users reported corresponding scores of 3.27, 3.25, and 3.33, with IRA indices of 1.00 across all three dimensions. These findings indicate favorable expert and counselor assessments of product quality and preliminary suitability. The study provides a structured basis for integrating digital information resources into school career guidance, although further empirical testing is needed to assess effectiveness in improving students’ career planning.

Abstract

Fatherlessness is a multidimensional family experience that may influence adolescents’ emotional development, self-perception, and interpersonal relationships. This study aimed to explore the psychological experiences of adolescent girls experiencing fatherlessness and to identify the emotional and social challenges associated with paternal absence. This qualitative descriptive study involved five adolescent girls aged 14–18 years in Jatiasih, South Bekasi, Indonesia. Participants were selected purposively based on their experiences of paternal absence resulting from emotional unavailability, parental divorce, or paternal death. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation and were analyzed descriptively through thematic analysis and triangulation. The findings indicated that fatherlessness was associated with difficulties in emotional regulation, reduced self-confidence, feelings of emptiness, jealousy toward peers with supportive father relationships, and challenges in developing trust and maintaining interpersonal relationships. However, participants also demonstrated different coping responses and obtained support from mothers, extended family members, friends, romantic partners, hobbies, and community environments. These findings indicate that the psychological consequences of fatherlessness are not uniform but are shaped by individual experiences and available social support. The study highlights the importance of counseling interventions that strengthen emotional regulation, self-worth, interpersonal trust, and supportive relationships among adolescent girls experiencing paternal absence. Keywords: adolescent girls, emotional regulation, fatherlessness, psychological well-being, social support

Abstract

Quarter-life crisis is a common problem experienced by students, especially related to careers, such as anxiety, doubt, fear, isolation, and loss of motivation. This study aims to determine the effect of cognitive group counseling on students' quarter-life crisis. The method used is a quantitative experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 10 students from the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar State Islamic University, selected using purposive sampling. The instrument used was a Likert-style quarter-life crisis scale with 34 validated items. The results indicate a significant effect of cognitive group counseling in reducing quarter-life crisis, as shown by the paired samples test (T = 13.347 > T-table 2.262), so the alternative hypothesis is accepted. The N-Gain results showed a 61% decrease in scores from pretest to posttest. This study's implications can help students develop rational thinking skills, manage emotions, and increase their readiness to face the challenges of early adulthood.
